Souttar hands on intimate area

247
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Can someone check on Robbie Neilson?  The Hearts manager has been posted missing since footage of John Souttar’s off the ball attack on Kyogo was publicised.  Neilson was highly animated at Celtic’s goal, the merits of which cannot be confirmed by video evidence.  There is no such dubiety over Souttar’s bodily interference with Kyogo.  With the ball out of play, the Hearts defender grabbed hold of Kyogo in the lower torso region, causing a visible abrasion.

Neilson, by any moral code, should refer his player to the video review panel, they both should apologise to the Celtic player. If John Souttar wants this kind of intimate relationship with a man he must go about it differently.  We live in rainbow times, but the 25-year-old needs to learn there are boundaries to respect.

In all the CQN years, I have discussed refereeing performances in less than a handful of cases.  Whenever I read people moaning about them, I think back to Jock Stein’s words to his players in that Celtic film from 1967, roughly abbreviated to ‘Deal with it’.

This is Scotland, referees are local, oversight is local, all the review and analytical process are local (as I am, BTW).  This is the place where the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service brought the might of the land against a football club’s administrators who were not prepared to do the bidding of hostile agents.  Save me your ‘Best wee country’ nonsense, with its implied superiority complex.

I was not surprised by a late penalty at Easter Road on Wednesday, it was not even noteworthy.  Compare and contrast to the hysterical analysis at Celtic Park from one character on Sky Sports on Thursday.  When the host calmly informing him that the TV analysis on the merits of Celtic’s goal was inconclusive, the facts could not penetrate, the matter was settled in his closed mind.

Based on stills when Anthony Ralston delivered his excellent cross, for my money, the goal was good.  But I’m biased, so don’t listen to me on the goal any more than Kris Boyd.  Celtic will win or lose the league with the referees we have, with pundits trying to convince whoever listens that inconclusive evidence is enough for them.  It will work, too, Celtic will face the consequences of Thursday’s decision.  This is Scotland, after all.

    I’m not being disingenuous, I’m genuinely not aware of how Ajax are fighting the big leagues

    Ah, I see George Galloway’s manager is in again, trying to get him a gig at Celtic Park. I’m a socialist and ome time fan of GG but he lost al credibility (and support) with socialists when he took the Big Brother money and acted like a pussy with Rula Lenska…cringeworthy doesn’t cover it

    celtic40me,

     

     

    Celtic should be concentrating on Europe, giving it a right go with Excellent investments (strangely now happening).

     

     

    We have been shocking in Europe for years – a New Club has now over taken Celtic. Fvcking Embarrassing.

    Interesting Kyodo Japanese sports article (translated) on Ange’s transfer plans speculation :

     

     

    Celtic will win Dainen Maeda and others. Yosuke Ideguchi and Reo Hatade

     

    12/5/2021 02:00 (JST)12/5 02:17

     

     

    On the 4th, I heard from the story of the people concerned that Celtic of the Scottish Premier League of soccer is embarking on the acquisition of Yokohama M’s FW Daizen Maeda (24), MF Yosuke Ideguchi (25) of G Osaka, and MF Hatade Reo (24) in Kawasaki. Ta. Yokohama M and G Osaka respect their wishes and say they will negotiate positively.

     

     

    It’s unusual for overseas clubs to aim to acquire three Japanese players at once. Coach Postecoglu, who led Yokohama M for three and a half years and moved to Celtic in June, highly appreciated the players of the J League, and it was also a boost that Kogo Furuhashi, who joined from Kobe this season, was active.

     

     

    Maeda, who won the scorer in J1 this season, will re-challenge Europe with Ideguchi if he transfers.

    This talk of referees being the cause of us losing our position as ‘top dog’ in Scotland, is in my opinion bunkum.

     

     

    Yes of course referees make mistakes, even ‘honest ones’, but is there downright cheating?

     

     

    There is a difference between negligence, which is random in its effect and a deliberateness which is more one-side. It is, to use an analogy, like waiters who give the wrong change. If the waiters(referees) are honest then we may expect mistakes to sometimes favour us and sometimes go against us. Isn’t that what happens? If everything went against us then of course the officials would be ‘bent’ I do not believe that to be the case – we get as many ‘dodgy decisions’ going for us, as against us. CELTIC BY NUMBERS does some interesting work on such matters.

     

     

    When we are good enough these up and downs matter little. When we are not up to the mark some of our number ‘cry wolf’ too often. As for the club to take issue – once you start to comment on individual decisions that go against you, it will become incumbent on you to also discuss those that go for you – we then descend into the realms of tittle-tattle after every game we play.

    Sir David Murray hands over control of family business

     

     

     

    FORMER Rangers owner Sir David Murray has passed ownership of his family business on to his sons.

     

     

    Murray Capital Group, which has interests in metals, property and wine, has been taken over by Sir David’s sons David and Keith under a planned transition of ownership. The brothers acquired the share capital of the company for an undisclosed sum in March.

    The appearance of Names Wrong Way Round on the Bigoted Broadcasting Corporation has, IMHO, provided a perfect opportunity for the board to take a stance.

     

     

    To my earlier point ….

     

     

    a broadcaster felt psychologically secure inviting this character on (no reckoning anywhere).

     

     

    There have been NINETY-FIVE SPFL games this season

     

     

    This fellow felt psychologically secure coming on to talk about one incident in one of those.

     

     

    This is unprecedented conduct.

     

     

    The last section of Paul’s leader ……

     

     

    “Celtic will win or lose the league with the referees we have, with pundits trying to convince whoever listens that inconclusive evidence is enough for them. It will work, too, Celtic will face the consequences of Thursday’s decision.”

     

     

    The consequences have started.

     

     

    What are we prepared to do to “deal with it”?

     

     

    First step is to know who we are dealing with.

     

     

    So, genuine question.

     

     

    Who on here knows the name of ANY stakeholder in BBC Sport Scotland who sets the editorial agenda?

     

     

    The puppets are well enough known.

     

     

    Who are the puppeteers?

    Greenpinta

     

    Dont wish to argue, but I think we see so much abuse of Kyogo. It does not happen to anyone else. I think it’s racist because he is singled out in almost every game by the opposition. No one is going to come out and say we singled out Kyogo because of his nationality, but the fact that he is singled out so frequently Imo speaks for itself.

    Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    From a lovely temperate 24 deg Melbourne.

     

    C’mon you bhoys and ghirls, it’s Celtic time.

     

    So up for the game tonight, and it’s at a good time for the down under

     

    Brigade, 11 o’ clock evening k.o, perfect as long as I keep myself sober.

     

    Sitting in the garden, rib eye roast on the barbie, roasties made, ready

     

    to crisp up beside the roast shortly, mushroom sauce with a dash of

     

    the rid biddy, only a dash, just because there’s not much left, booooo

     

    and of course the greens, how could you not love the greens and

     

    roast pumpkin with sweet paprika.

     

    Don’t know who’s fit, so a punt at a team. 4-4-2

     

    Holy Joe

     

    Juranovic. Carter. Starcelt. Adamski.

     

    Jamesy. Calmac. Handsome Tom. Bitton

     

    Kyogo. Jackie Mackus

     

    Think that team will keep the pressure on the bilious bigots, but im

     

    always open to you fine Celts who are in the frontline and attending

     

    the games keeping me right with up to date info.

    Morning all from a crisp Garngad light frost on cars and looking disn to the shed roof a bit of frost as well.

     

     

    I will need to wrap up to watch the grandson this morning at 9am again.

     

     

    Mick – good morning I think Nir is out and Big Jacka mack is out to.

     

     

    I think the team will be:

     

     

    Hart

     

     

    Jura CCV Starfelt Monty

     

     

    McCarthy Cal Mac

     

     

    Abbada Turnbull Kyogo Jamsie

    Melbourne Michael,

     

     

    Carl had an excellent game when he came Bach into the side.

     

     

    I know we are threadbare squad wise, Thursday didnae help matters one iota, I am strangely confident for a tough away fixture, I think United will be blown away in the 1st half.

     

     

    Ange is the Man.

  33. David66 on

    I hope that Soutar gets done for his assault on Kyogo.

     

     

    If not our club have to say something as not only is it bad tackles threatening our players H & S but now physical assaults. There is no place for that in football the same as throwing stuff on the park in my eyes.

     

     

    D :)

    If Ange & the Bhoys overcome the Huns with whistles this Season.

     

     

    I hope we get Borussia Dortmund in the CL – a Festival of fitba would be had and Maximum Respect (Bayern have a great support too) would be had by mutual Friends. It was quite awesome seeing all the Supporters singing YNWA before the game.

     

     

    3 points please Ange.

    David 66/Petec

     

     

    Hadn’t a clue who was fit, so your team looks good to me David.

     

    Petec, sometimes a player decides it’s his time, and flourishes

     

    seen it so many times, especially with the lions, some of who

     

    took terrible abuse from the jungle back ln the day, but the right

     

    manager and a fighting attitude made them the first British team

     

    to enthral the the whole of the U K with their attacking brand of

     

    football and bring big ears back to Celtic park.

     

    As a previous critic of Starcelt, I should know better, hope he goes

     

    on and shoves my doubts down my pie hole.

    I also pine for those days of the Jungle when the SFA, the refs, The MSM, The Polis & The Gov all favoured the TIc. And just as well they did or The Jungle would have ….

  37. spikeysauldman on

    Watched highlights of Fulham v Bournemoth – Christie’s defensive abilities even worse than I remember – brainless

  40. Melbourne Mick on

    Is Soapy Souter getting done retrospectively for his

     

    Nippon Kyogo?

     

    See what I done there?
