Rascal racism

710
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Football’s impudent scamps have long caused more annoyance than actual harm to their clubs.  Many live by a different moral code to the rest of us which leads to all sorts of excesses, including the occasional violent bust-up.

Can you kick a team mate on the training field and punch him in the dressing room?  You bet, there are hundreds of precedents for you.  You can certainly kick lumps out of an opponent, but what about doling out racial references in the middle of a game?

The use of a racist term in my office, and I’m sure your workplace, would lead to summary disciplinary procedures, but football has a way of looking at miscreants through rose tinted lenses.  The hoary old defence on these occasions, be if for footballers or anyone else, is ‘He’s not a racist, some of his best friends are….’.

This doesn’t matter.  The guilty party may be more rascal than racist but he needs to be treated in the same way anyone else using racist language in the workplace would be.  English football has done enormous work to combat racism since the 1980s but it’s in danger of undermining these efforts by accommodating people who should know better.

    Good photo, the main starting point fr the uns causing trouble in their shame game was that eejit el taj diouff shouldering the Celtic phyisio when he came on to treat Mark Wilson, thats why Neil Lennon got involved, thats when there was friction between the benches. Thats why the fat jake probably said what he said to cause triuble at the end. But hey ‘that neil lennon brings it on himself.’

     

     

    The club should have been a lot strnger in clearing up the huns mess from that game, Neil Lennon has said he will tell us what the fat jake said that night when we win the league, I look forward to it but wonder why we kept a dignified silence, we should expose these ********s instead of letting their media set the story.

     

     

    5-0 200/1 Boyle sports. Thats whats happening, its a licence to print money.

    Top of the morning to you all from a still-dark but mild Fife.

     

     

    According to the Herald Sone Aluko insists SFA compliance officer should have a football past and be of at least third degree level in the Grand Lodge of Antient Free and Accepted Masons of Scotland. He also said he was willing to pay the new officials wages for the first two years.

     

     

    Well I did make the last bits up, but the first bit about a footballing compliance officer is fact.

     

     

    What would we do without Sone and his words of wisdom?

    \My experience of Celtic is not about how I managed to get to a certain game.

     

     

    Its about the fholks before me and the stories they told.

     

     

    Take that to the bank yon dicks. Too many fiuds with heids above themselves thinking they’re summit they aren’t.

     

     

    The Celtic Support are lthe lifeblood now.

     

     

    And stand on their own. As per.
