I'm not saying he's to blame, he's the victim but imo has to be smarter with what he's posting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not turn on one of our players for highlighting racial abuse just because it gives them something to talk about. Probably exactly what he meant by "Rangers fans". Support the player and vilify the perpetrator, no matter who it is. Racism is bigger than football, I have no problem if he wants to call it out because it needs to be highlighted and stopped, knowing you can't get away with things like this anymore. When did I turn on our own player? I'm simply saying he should be smarter, and when it's confirmed if it was a Rangers fan or other then he can post this type of thing.

I disagree with that, when you're in the public eye that freedom becomes more complicated. Would you be happy if most media outlets now ran with the racist Rangers fan stories? Would the whole thing not turn out to be absolute idiocy if it was found out to come from a celtic fan? Meanwhile the damage is done to our club, and he had absolutely no reason to say Rangers fan in quotation signs or not. He could simply have said he suffered abuse without directing blame when he did not know which direction to aim it at. That is what I'm really getting at.

B1872 20,654 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 He should have spoken to the club or police first before tweeting about it. Its now on Sky Sports News every hour saying that Rangers fans were racially abusing a young black footballer. As has been said before Goldson was racially abused by a celtic fan pretending to be one of us. Players need some media training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once everything is known, fair enough, he can let rip. it would have been better for all concerned if he had waited - including himself. I'd expect the club to let rip as well once all is known, that's just being professional. If he hadn't brought the fans into what he already said, either insinuating or not insinuating, then this wouldn't be an issue. It's all over the press now, and rightly or wrongly the story is racist Rangers fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, this is sounding more and more like a playground argument. I can get down to your level if you want mate, I'll just have to drop around 50 billion brain cells and we'll be good to go.

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 If that's genuine he should be contacting the police about it not moaning about it on social media and involving the club. Something could be done about stopping it then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
