bears fan 259 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The club declined to comment but a club source said 'John was asked to sing a song about him. He didn't even know it was about Rangers. To say there is a sectarian element is nonsense'. As expected then! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon. 44 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Celtic are the real "H***". The ROI tried to help the Nazi defeat Britain during WW2. If you know your history and all that. In any case, this pish shouldn't even be in the Bears den. He's not even a Celtic player FFS he's there on loan.Correct, why this scenario has turned head over heals I don't know.In the 1st war they waited until our lads were at war in The Battle of the Somme 1916 when the infested little fecks attacked the women in the Post Office in Dublin.(The post office won LOL)In WW2 they "remained neutral" although allowing Nazi u-boats to hide in neutral waters in Donegal. They allowed them to re fuel and gave them MUCH secret information and help.When I was a lad (LONGGggggggg time ago) We let them know they were the ficking h**.They supported Adolf and his vile regime.Cop a load of this and you will see who the H*** are.Nazi Scum Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I know the board have more important stuff on their plate, but this is the kinda thing they need to respond to. In doing that, it forces the tims to then take note and publicly respond back. Rather than this decline to comment pish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The line coming out of "don't leave Yer kids with us as we will probably shag them fc" isTonight a Celtic insider said: “John was asked to sing the song that is sung about him.“He doesn’t know what the song is about or the content of it but to suggest there is any sectarian element whatsoever is absolute nonsense.”He doesn't know the content, but he managed to sing the words? Even for an unofficial response, that bit's shocking alone.To deny the sectarian element is even more preposterous.However, this incoherent, fallacious nonsense will become their public line, and the one championed by their friends in the media.

BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The BBC gossip coloumn (main one, not the scottish) is saying '' Celtic striker John Guidetti, on loan at Parkhead from Manchester City, has appeared on Dutch TV singing a song featuring an offensive term about Rangers fans '' An offensive term about Rangers fans? FFS... but that's fair enough, no idea why the term fenian is bigoted against catholics, the pope and Neil Lennon yet we're just Rangers fans, no inference of a hatred of religious beliefs. I'm actually amazed that's the wording, mention Fenian and the world thinks you've insulted the entire Catholic religion but h** is just an offensive term about some Rangers Fans.

UnionMen 411 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Just shows you how the victim card can warp the mainstream. The term h** by it's very definition refers to an ethnic group. The term Fenian by it's very definition is a warrior of Irish Republican persuasion. Yet the victim card has pissed and moaned so hard "Fenian" is perceived in the mainstream as being some kind of racist slur in the vein of "n***er". Yet you call a British Protestant a "h**" and it seems to be top banter.There's a term we used to use for Celtic fans funnily enough: "The Fenian h**".

TheBluebells 6,898 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 He knows exactly what he's singing, as if no one has, at any point, mentioned that's what they call us? Im sure in the run up the games against them he never heard it.Just a complete cop out as always from them, the uproar if one of our players was on camera calling them fenian bastards would be unbelievable, parliament would be calling emergency meetings and Ibrox would be dismantled.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 One law for Rangers and another for Celtic, that's always been the way it is in Scotland, don't expect the SFA to act as they'll be in danger of losing their friendship with Liewell.When people are getting arrested for dressing up as a postman with package for Neil Lennon (a witty costume with no malice) then someone as high profile as Guidetti should be made an example of for using the disgusting and infactual term for Rangers fans Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersMK 135 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Inequality in Action - In all honesty, why is this not main page Sky News or the likes? Recently we have heard the racist Chelsea, Anti-Semitic Hammers from fans. Surely a player singing a bigoted song would be massive news.To be fair, I don't think he understood it but that has never been an excuse and every fan could simply say "I did not know it was offensive" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy 1,308 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 He must be desperate to play for the Tims if he puts on that show. I hope they pay £5M for him and he scores 5 next season. £1M per goal, no bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1872 20,441 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Until the word get's banned then nothing will happen plus I'm pretty sure the club have announced they're backing him and it wasn't sectarian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLaudrup 4,437 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Guidetti is clearly an idiot, but as a foreign player he possibly doesn't understand the offence that word could cause. Can you imagine what would happen if a Rangers player used words like Taig etc in an interview?!What is more surprising is the failure of Celtic to condemn it, the press not pushing the story and the absence of any charge from the SFA.Actually i'm not surprised at all.

Are the East end lot really still worse than we were meant to be, according to some, last century and still getting away with it?Legally speaking, it is sectarian.Yet the Daily Record in this article took a differing viewpoint, instead of citing the ruling you quoted Oleg, they ran with this instead: "In 2012, three Celtic fans walked free from court after a not proven verdict on a breach of a peace charge said to have been aggravated by religious prejudice relating to a banner displaying the slogan ‘h*** FC’."Yet our fuckin "interim-chairman" praises the Record for it's "couragous journalism" before lifting their ban.
