ian1964 10,724 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Vile Nacho Novo trolls blasted by anti-racism charity DOZENS of vile trolls have been condemned for flooding social media with cruel comments aimed at former Rangers star Nacho Novo who is recovering from a heart attack. Many of the comments echo a “song” which has been sung and aimed at the star in the past. It contains the lyrics: “I hope you die in your sleep Nacho Novo, I hope you die in your sleep, I pray…” Leading anti-racism charity Nil By Mouth blasted the trolls “bigoted, poisonous behaviour” which showed them to be “a pretty poor excuse for a human being.” One tweet said: “Hope you die within a week nacho novo!” Another user posted: “Nacho novo , won’t see ten in a row.” Nil By Mouth, a charity set up by the 52nd Evening Times SWOTY Cara Henderson, was among those quick to condemn the trolls. Nil by Mouth Campaign Director Dave Scott said: “This type of bigoted, poisonous behaviour is sadly becoming more and more prevalent on social media sites as attention seeking wannabes try and beat each other in a race to the bottom. “If your reaction to someone having an heart attack is to gloat because they once played for a rival football club in an effort to get other morons to click ‘like’ you’re a pretty poor excuse for a human being.” One Twitter user wrote: “This is just disgusting from Celtic fans. Yes I appreciate not all of them have this opinion, in fact many of the are very respectful and wish Nacho Novo a speedy recovery, but it’s just people like this that make Celtic look bad, wishing he’d ‘die within a week’.” Another added: “Get well soon Wee Nacho Novo. Absolutely disgusting the amount of tweets from ‘rival’ fans of our club wanting an ex footballer to die. This country’s football is pure poisonous.” As reported by the Evening Times, the former Rangers striker is in a stable condition after suffering a heart attack on Saturday evening. The 38-year-old was featuring for Rangers in the AOK Traditionsmasters 2018 in Berlin when he was taken ill after they had been knocked out of the round-robin tournament. He was rushed to hospital from the Max-Schmeling-Halle arena before undergoing emergency surgery. Rangers confirmed that Novo, who played at Ibrox between 2004 and 2010, is in a stable condition.

Uilleam 5,935 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) The ET echoes, but does not quote, the words of a song, which, if I am not mistaken, contains the, ahem, deathless lyric "...by a bullet from the IRA..." I am convinced that the fhilth would find Ignacio's death by the method for which they pray preferable to that by heart attack. Nil by Natural Causes, one might say.

JFK-1 1,693 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 On 1/8/2018 at 06:24, der Berliner said: That's him against Hertha. Much of what appears in the papers over here actually comes from reports in Scotland, which is a bit strange. He spent around 10 years of his career in Scotland encompassing effectively all of his prime years. He's probably more of a name in Scotland than anywhere else. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
