Johnny Hubbard 280 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Huddleboard & Celtic’s increasingly toxic imageTake, for example, the site known as the Huddleboard.This purports to be a fans’ forum where people come and sound off from behind their keyboards in relative anonymity, brave men that they are – and they are mostly men it seems. Fair enough, passion and free speech and all that.Except that those running this site either don’t seem to know or care that comment is one thing, crime is another.Hot on the success of prosecuting Limond the excellent detectives of Police Scotland may well now be taking a close interest in Huddleboard and those who run it.In reality Huddleboard is just another facet of the increasingly toxic public image of Celtic. The Seville days are ancient history. Like a bully with no natural competitors (though Rangers are on their way back), the Celtic of today is rightly gaining a reputation for the most consistently violent fans in the UK who attack stadiums as if we’re living in 1974.They are Scotland’s modern Millwall: an underclass of extreme politics and mindless violence – the same old toxic brew.That’s the Celtic Underclass on tour. The same cancer is reflected online. On Huddleboard for instance in recent days. Open threatsHere so-called Celtic “supporters” openly threaten precisely the same journalist as Limond did. They threaten her with blatant physical and sexual assault for doing her job. It’s disgusting and laughably stupid – and yes guys – deleting any of it now is far far too late.Even in the unlikely case of it being Rangers ‘fans’ on the stir, it is apparently being tolerated by the people moderating and running the site who bear responsibility in law. The details of the criminals engaged in this vile, inadequate idiocy will be known to those running the site. Their details are logged. And no, you can’t delete them either. Should they wish not to give such information to Police Scotland they will place themselves in an interesting position legally.I have good reason to suppose the police may well soon require such information and rightly so.Hiding behind having a server in the US is unlikely to hold up before a determined and professional police force. Hiding and huddling – not exactly heroic. I would advise the Huddleboard moderators to start moderating, publicly apologise for the criminality that has been published by fans and wipe this stuff from their output forever in future – though it may well be too late for that, legally speaking. Calling time on Glasgow’s cultureYet again, alongside Limond the obvious criminality on this site is startlingly clear to an outsider yet around Glasgow of course few even appear to notice.But this is now. New Year. 21st Century. Post-Limond. Police aware. If Glasgow culture’s still stuck in early twentieth century tolerance of this filth, there are many outwith Clydeside who are not, and are calling time on you, here and now.There are many well-moderated Scottish football sites run by grown-ups who can distinguish between a comment and a crime – The Scottish Football Monitor is one. Huddleboard is not one.- See more at: http://blogs.channel4.com/alex-thomsons-view/scotlands-modern-millwall-celtics-toxic-public-image/6921#sthash.OZVZIKx7.dpuf Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

25 Minutes To Go 28 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Alex Thomson is nothing more than a gutter journalist who specializes in sensationalist nonsense. Best ignored. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMotor 2,208 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 And yet nothing there about the actual despicable goings-on at the piggery, both today and in the past, just a piss-poor dig at some no-mark messageboard.Real in-depth journalism there once more. When is he due to fuck off back to Syria again? I hear they have a real love of "journalists" over there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Educator 1,572 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Does the employment of someone as a journalist really mean that they are? To me journalists report the news, and seek out answers where none were previously available. In the case of this so called journalist and his friend or colleague or what ever Angela Haggerty I find the term journalist to sit uneasily on the tongue as all they ever do is report what suits them with an inbuilt bias to what ever agenda they happen to be peddling at any specific time. I'm sure that both of the people honestly believed as they studied for whatever qualifications that got them their current posts that they would investigate and report without bias and with honesty sadly it would seem that those days are long behind them. These days they seem to have fallen into a grouping known as propagandists.In this case I notice that he is hedging his bets by introducing an anti-Rangers undercurrent in a story about the behaviour of c****c fans. Perhaps he has become aware of the story of the land deals, the bank and the GCC and is preparing to jump ship to save himself. However it is more likely that this is just a make weight to give a veneer of balance to his previously unbalanced reporting and in advance of is next equally unbalanced piece of propaganda.

somerset bear 34 86 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I honestly think Thompson was embarrassed by his actions during the rangers crisis. It exposed him for what he is. A small time journalist who jumps on the band wagon of public opinion, not smart enough to realise he was being used for other individuals agendas. I think he's ffinally realised that he's been used and wants shot of the hangers ons. They have deluited what's left of his credibility Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

somerset bear 34 86 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Possibly. Too late though.Defiantly to late. We know what he is. However he wants rid of the hangers on now. That's what is happeningWhat ever happened to him exposing the culture of cheating (referees) in the SPL. He was going to expose it apparently. Guess that he could not find it.

tannerall 25,935 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 This is the last part of his bio on Wikipedia. The last sentence is a cracker, and one we would all like answered. Wonder if he would like to add anything himself.In 2012, Thomson turned his journalistic attention to the events associated with the administration and liquidation of Rangers FC, with Phil - The Failed Journalist concentrating on the tax avoidance and corporate governance issues of which Rangers F.C were cleared, as well as criticism of alleged shill journalism in Scotland. Thomson produced a number of Channel 4 News VTs as well as blog posts on this topic. He contributed the foreword to Phil - The Failed Journalist's book Downfall: How Rangers FC Self Destructed. The reasons as to Thomson's motives to endorse Phil - The Failed Journalist are unclear.(Edit: The "Phil - The Failed Journalist" is the way Phil McGoblin's name comes out when copied on this site ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlands plater 16,975 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 No comparison between criticising the actions of a few "so-called Celtic supporters" (his words) and the hatchet job he did on our club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
