  1. They don't have any morality. When the issue of racism against Morelos was raised they reverted to type and attacked the victim of the racism, Morelos. "We are aware of the gestures made by the player towards Celtic supporters. We have received no reports of any racial abuse"

  2. FFP used to be about stopping clubs running up massive debts. But establishment clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man Utd etc, are all loaded with debt. so now FFP is all about stopping owners investing in their clubs. Compare Man Utd & Man City. Man Utd are loaded with debt but are okay according to FFP. Man City have no debt but fall foul of FFP No I cannot figure this out either...

  3. If Celtic has a grain of morality they would be condemning racial abuse at Parkhead as reported by one of their own fans, endorsed by police charges and heard in social media recordings. They are clearly trying to implicate Rangers in false racism accusations in order to then create a story to drown out the actual racism (and sectarian bigotry which everyone has forgotten about) that took place in their stadium by their fans on 29th.

  4. Just shows you what a racist backwater Scotland has turned into. Shocking the lack of support Alfredo has received from football and society out with the Rangers family.

  6. Sky should do another interview and Morelos would no longer be restricted from saying that he was racially abused by Celtic fans as the police investigation that was ongoing at that point is now complete.

  8. I'd say that they've tried to dehumanise the club, the players and the support, and therefore any abuse given doesn't matter.

  9. My point was that he can't score goals if he doesn't get the chances; he had very few chances. He did create a good few chances for others. I was impressed with that side of his game on Sunday.

  11. I would agree racism is not a big issue in Scotland Bill but if he is called a black B it is racism however it’s dressed up. It doesn’t matter if they don’t shout racist abuse at their own black players. They are using pejorative phrases and the first thing that enters their heads is the colour of the guys skin. If for whatever reason they start to dislike their own black players then these people will be capable of racism against those players.

  12. I'm sure it sounds incredibly woke to point out all this racism but anyone with half an ounce of honesty knows that there's probably very little actual racism involved in Scotland ... other than perhaps the nationalist hatred of the English. That doesn't mean there isn't a very real problem. What Morelos and many like him are suffering is the cold, bitter expression of sectarian bigotry and deep-rooted tribalism. He's being attacked at every turn but not because he's black. It's clearly and only because of his association with Rangers. If Morelos didn't play for Rangers he wouldn't be attracting these racist comments. If he wasn't black but was still Rangers star player then they'd be howling some other abuse at him. The people who shout racist abuse at football generally don't direct the same comments at their own black players ... any more than Rangers fans abused Jorg Albertz or Lorenzo Amoruso for being catholics. No, the problem here is two-fold. Firstly that too many people are so caught up in the hate-filled fabric of petty lives that they do things like this - anything like this - any excuse to vent their spleens at "the other side". Secondly, that there is a receptive public only too willing to perpetuate the situation by pretending this sort of thing is genuine racism, rather than just another example of the squalid nature of much of Scottish society. Ask yourself, for example, why something as patently corrupt as the SNP has prospered without a semblance of achievement.

  13. That's my opinion yes and I've said that since day one. His strongest attributes are his pace, work rate, determination etc. His passing, ball control, shooting, crossing, vision etc. are all lacking for me for an attacking midfielder. They are normal enough for a winger though who traditionally doesn't need to be technically great because they are running into space rather than operating in congested areas.

  14. As for the "Sky" translation, I wonder if Traynor had anything to do with that?

  15. I found on Sunday that my seat at Ibrox had been replaced, presumably as part of the ongoing stadium refurbishments. The area I sit in has padded seats () and the old seats were generally comfortable and in good condition, and I didn't hear anyone wanting them replaced. Given that's the situation I have to wonder why the club went to the expense of replacing them. The new seats are apparently the same ones as are used in Bar 72. They're a lot less padded and slope back more, meaning that their less comfortable and there's less leg rom for someone like myself who's over 6 feet. I can't even make a desk set from them! Overall it seems a backwards step and makes the overall experience less enjoyable.
