cunts getting away with too much. Do we even have a compliance officer these days?

 

We still have somebody covering compliance .But I’m sure they have a narrower scope for what they are looking for .Not sure if simulation is part of it .Wouldn’t matter if it was the only thing ,Wee golden baws will be a protected species.

Even worse when he obviously the aggressor.

A case for the compliance officer 😉

It won't be, but should be a retrospective red card, the compliance office is probably still investigating tom boyd for calling a referee a 'cheat' a few years ago

Do hope he’s not too badly hurt 😂😂

He could have broken his spinal column doing that.

Copied from FF

Fell aff ma chair, Leckie’s putting the boot in.

 

LAST week they refused to utter a peep for half an hour, just when their team needed all the support going.

This week they couldn’t keep their big mouths shut for the one, solitary minute when their club really needed them to.

But then that’s ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ for you. The most contrary, attention-seeking, self-entitled shower in all of football.

Oh, and don’t forget spoiled. Because when it comes to stamping their feet and getting their own way, this lot make Cartman from South Park look like Winnie The Pooh’s wee pal Piglet.

They’ve been indulged for so long by the people who run celtic that they genuinely think matchday’s more about them than the guys on the pitch.

If they have something to yell about, if they have an axe to grind — and, let’s be honest, they always do — then the game can just damn well wait until they’re good and done.

A week back on Saturday, they stage-managed a protest against the prospect of police chief Bernard Higgins becoming Parkhead’s new security consultant, unveiling a huge banner describing him as “evil” and then sitting in silence until 3.30pm.

I’m still in no doubt that the lack of atmosphere during those 30 minutes allowed visitors Livingston to settle in and graft their way towards a 0-0 draw.

If those two points dropped end up being the difference between Ange Postecoglou winning the league or not come May . . . well, let’s see who takes the blame

Here’s a clue: It won’t be those fans who decided making a political statement was more important than cheering their heroes to victory.

Which brings us to Dens Park, when they rolled out their next stunt aimed at controlling the board’s employment policy.

Or rather, BOUNCED it out, seeing as they waited until the action had started before hurling hundreds of tennis balls into Joe Hart’s goalmouth.

Then, for anyone who didn’t get why, which was basically everyone, they unfurled a banner reading: “Fans or Higgins — The Ball’s In Your Court”.

Still, it could have been worse. They could have a problem with John Higgins.

Listen, I’m not going to sit here and spout that punters should keep their noses out of club business, because we’ve long since got used to a hardcore in every support believing that having their name on a season ticket gives them the same voting rights as a director.

For this breed of fan, it’s not enough to turn up, back the team and let the people upstairs take care of the business side.

In fact, it’s not even enough for them to be allowed to stick in their ten-bob’s worth.

No, they demand the right to veto decisions, in this case under the clear threat of a boycott if a cop they despise is allowed through Parkhead’s front door.

Which brings us here, to a situation where if the board HAD been considering Bernard Higgins as their new security consultant, they now either have to forget it or plough ahead and risk every fixture turning into a protest.


With those protests inevitably becoming more menacing than the odd sponsored silence or hail-hail of fuzzy balls.

As for the way an element of the 4,000-strong celtic horde ruined yesterday’s pre-match minute’s silence of Remembrance?

That was more inevitable still. So much so the only surprise would be if anyone was surprised by it, because it’s become an annual tradition: Lest We Forget To Be Morons.

They boo and they chant while everyone else’s head is bowed, the other lot’s fans start to boo them back and it all descends into exactly the embarrassment they want it to be.

I have no issue with the Parkhead club not sporting poppies on their shirts. It’s everyone’s right to wear one or not, and choosing not to doesn’t mean you disrespect those who lost their lives in warfare.

What I find utterly obnoxious, though, is the refusal to respect anyone else’s wish to stand in silence.

What’s unforgivable is the way they then charge on with their IRA chants and their choruses of “stick your f****** poppy up yer a***”.

Do this on a European night and a fine generally follows — their club’s bill from Uefa stands at more than £500,000 and counting — but somehow, in the domestic game, the SFA and SPFL just seem to shrug it off as some sort of banter.

Sectarianism, in whatever flavour it comes, is always regarded this way by those who run the show, right down to Sky falling over themselves to apologise whenever the effects microphone picks up some random swearing but not when the para- military karaoke’s in full swing.

It’s all so depressing, but more miserable still is the thought that this time next year I’ll probably be writing about the same intolerable levels of intolerance yet again.

This time next year, the same numbskulls will be emailing in with their bile and their one-eyed rubbish about how “Ye never slaughter THEYM, dae ye?” and how “If you didnae write it, we I still prefer men dae it”.

And this time next year, chances are ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ will still be getting away with more than any other fans in the game.

While still whining non-stop that they’re more oppressed than the starving children of Yemen

“Lest We Forget To Be Morons” - best line he’s ever written.

Why does nobody highlight that Celtics continual refusal to wear a poppy on their shirts is pandering to those morons in their support? 

Keith Jackson said it in his column today:

That the club opt out of wearing poppies on their shirts is a knee bend to the obnoxious militants who didn’t think twice about doing such damage to their own club on national TV yesterday lunchtime.
