I've seen a couple of stupid articles about morelos, but no racists ones.

people write more about him than Edouard, because he's a wee phanny that gives them more to write about and in this country, controversy sells newspapers.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think any of the articles were in any way racist.

Perhaps a wee bit 'white saviour' but you can't say much these days without offending somebody.

Just think there was too much of a 'pile on' in terms denial of what happened, especially given (what may be the case) that there was some substance in the allegation...

Ban the media and the you can stop greeting about them

Sounds like a win win for everyone

I don't disagree with that debear but I do think its been blown way out of proportion and that someone is responsible for putting him front and centre.

the incident with the car, bombs, brakes - utter nonsense and not a word from morelos tbf

then that interview - actually changing his words again not his fault.

If he lad is guilty then it should be just about that, but it's not, due to the other nonsense of the past fortnight.

Ban the traditional media.

The vast majority of them are gutter trash.

Be innovative for once.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow.

The 'supporter lead' media are generally a bunch of obsessed bedsit dwellers who didn't have two bob to rub together.

Good luck negotiating your next kit and sponsorship deal if you ban the traditional media. You'll get feck all.

There's something going on behind the scenes here.

In Morelos defence - i'm not sure even he thought that some mad celtic fan was going for his brakes

If you ban the media then you won't get to hold them to account and things such as 'translation gate' are more likely to happen IMHO.

Surely there's a way to open and honestly report without letting club/footballers away with naughty stuff?

Mind you - we are talking footy fans here - not exactly renowned for level heads...

that's what I mean mate, he said nothing about it, but he's front and centre.

same with the interview, a simple interview and someone twisted it, why? and yet again, front and centre.

a unknowing pawn in somebody else's game I suspect.

Maybe we should trial it - be fooking bananas

It's a bit like getting foreign Refs in, or VAR, turns out it solves fook all

So Rangers complained to the police. Wow.

You guys better better watch what you're singing at the weekend now that your club had developed a moral code.

They should have got their own house in order before they started this crusade.

-------------------------------------------

The guy that i saw that translated the interview said that he mentioned it there in terms of 'el nino' and his Mrs wrote something on insta or twitter about it but it wasn't widely shared.

Certainly not as widely shared as the mad celtic fan with the super skinny wrists

If the player has been racially abused and the club were aware of it then they absolutely should support the player and get the police involved.

I think, that there's something addictive about arguing and that social media has proven fertile ground for that to spread.

I swear that some seem happier when they have something to b*tch about..

"Club 1872 notes the criminal charges filed in relation to the racist abuse of Alfredo Morelos by Celtic supporters"

Social media seems to disable people's internal editor and they seem to think it's just fine to spew out all kinds of hatred. Twitter is by far the worst hub of these tw@ts.

Trolls should have their fingers cut off.

Aye you can be assured that fans of other clubs will be looking for the slightest slip up from Gers fans now, just to point score and put them in the proverbial. This is definitely gonna end up with Rangers having egg on their face in one way or another.

It usually does these days.

And they know that.
So is there method in the madness or has someone just lost the plot all together.

There's no method or forethought in all this. It's bombast and outrage and an opportunity to land a few blows on their enemies. And that's the case for both sides.

The quickest thing to be forgotten in all this is the player himself, and the lessons that can be learned in a sorry incident that has led to a 12 year old boy being charged with racial abuse and what it says about our society.

Was it public knowledge it was in the match delegates report?

If not, why not - might have helped defuse what they are complaining about now?

How did it get in that report - reported by someone or heard by the delegate?

Was this the first match of the many that Rangers are reporting racism to have it in the delegate report?

If not, what have the SFA / PS been doing?

etc.

deflectors on max, cap'n.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty sure it was reported in December that it was included in match report.

I am sure I remember it being reported after 2 other matches. Hearts and Motherwell I think?

When I say reported one or two tiny articles

More like...reported to the police and/or included in the match officials report
