Aleksandar Tonev Appeal TribunalBy: Newsroom Staff on 16 Dec, 2014 13:22CELTIC Football Club is extremely disappointed by the outcome of the Scottish FA’s Appeal Tribunal.We do not consider that any player should be found guilty of such a grave offence on the basis of the evidence presented in this case. Celtic Football Club will be approaching the Scottish FA to seek to address this issue. We would like to make it clear that at no stage was it ever suggested that Shay Logan had made any false allegations. However, Aleksandar Tonev’s position consistently has been that he did not say the words that were alleged to have been said and that he is not a racist. Celtic Football Club has enjoyed an excellent relationship with Aberdeen Football Club and this, of course, will continue. As we have said many times before, racism has no place in football and as a Club which has been open to all ever since its formation in 1888, Celtic abhors racism of any kind. Clearly, Aleksandar continues to have our full support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave clear and unequivocal evidence that Mr Tonev had used the language complained of and that it had been targeted at him."However, the panel stated they were unable to accept the Bulgarian as "either credible or reliable" on the central issue of the case.The report continued: "His evidence on his understanding of the language said to have been used, was particularly unsatisfactory."In chief examination his evidence was to the effect that he did not know what the word 'c***' meant."On cross examination he explained that he had heard the term in his time at Aston Villa but did not know what it meant. He then accepted that he was aware that it was a term of abuse."The impression was of a witness giving a less than a full account of his actual understanding; and seemed to the tribunal to be an inherently improbable account."Next case, your Honour ...

But go on the Newsnow news service and look at the media response. Michele keegan supports Celtic(Yahoo), Celtic give free match tickets to the unemployed(Skysports and The Mirror). Only the Daily Mail reported on UEFA charges. When the story broke about The SFA complaint against Ashley, 15 media outlets had an article up within 30 minutes.

The scum have overplayed their hand and are probably going down the PR road on this one, and are focusing on the system, rather than the case. They're also logically inconsistent in claiming he definitely didn't say it but also claim he shouldn't have been found guilty as it was one man's word against another.They're now getting so cocky that the SFA can't back them up on this one.
