ascender 352 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I'll be honest, I never saw the incident, but I'd heard that it wasn't just a case of him crossing himself as many players do when they are subbed or score, he made a big deal of it or something? Anyway, if that's true, then already in typical fashion, the media are choosing to gloss over that and go for the sensationalist type of headline. So was anyone there, what actually happened? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunn_1873 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 The scumbag kept blessing himself everytime the ball went behind the goal , and before he ran up to take a goal kick. Kept changin sides of the goal kick , and was doing it smiling at the copland front., Scumbag. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,663 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 It is illegal when it could cause crowd trouble. The fact here is this - no player should be gesticulating towards opposition fans. It's as simple as that. I didn't see many people defending Gascoigne with his flute stunt. Indeed he was again fined a weeks wages by Rangers and condemned by all including the ludicrious statement by Provan about disrupting the peace process. Unfortunately is the saturation of the sectarian issue by the media and the people who fake the moral outrage by reporting clubs and fans and players that is making the situation worse instead of better. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carino 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 If a player wishes to indulge in superstitious gestures on the field of play it is no big deal unless he use sit as a GIRUY to opponents or fans of his opponents. Boruc used it as a provocative gesture which merited sanction. It is not so long since we had Paul Gascoigne fined �£20,000 and ludicrously accused of endangering the peace process in Northern Ireland for mimicking playing a flute. It is also often overlooked that Fergus McCann also wrote to the SFA complaining about Gascoigne. Boruc should have been sanctioned with more than a caution. It is however wonderful to watch and listen to yahoos foaming at the mouth about it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 This is getting boring. Hs crossing himself is fair enough and if i saw him do it 24 hrs a day id laugh, but he did it purely to wind up the Copland so he is a wank bag. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
