    Good point.
    The SFA have made a rod for their own back.
    What they have done to Tonev is unbelievable, and on the word of a troublemaker like Logan too.

    Wonder what would have happened if it was the other way around... I admitedly am one of those that believes racism charges/allegations tend only to go one way.

    You mean if Tonev claimed Logan called him a white *. He certainly would not receive a ban based on a Celtic players allegation. Tonev would be told to stop being paranoid and get on with it.

    I just think we should forget about it and we should go and loan guys out to Dundee United and Caley to * them up for a place in Europe.

    The SFA have set a very dangerous precedent here. Tonev and Celtic should take this further because the 'evidence' is laughable. Whatever you think of Tonev as a player (I don't think much of him tbh) he shouldn't be tarred as a racist on one player's say so (that one player seems like a bit of a * too)

    Absolutely disgusted by the * hun, major massacre and that’s front page, that wee * Logan was booting the pish out of Tonev and and pulling him back and all sorts but that’s been conveniently left out, I remember the game well, hope Celtic take this all the way, what happened to sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never harm me. Logan is just a wee bitchy grass, boo * hoo he called me by the colour of my skin and added * :56: Embarrassing in this day and age that * can be offended by words, lets face it if Logan called Tonev a white *, we wouldn’t even hear about it, corrupt as *.

    If Celtic take this further they will laughed out of Court and embarrass themselves on a national level. The fact is even national law is based on the rules of probability. Consider the outcome of the Andrew Mitchell case - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...ll-loses-high-court-libel-action-9887920.html
    That was also based on one man's word.

    The fact is a Court has decided Tonev used racist language, or at least he probably used racist language. I see no reason to disagree with them considering I do not know Tonev in person. I also find it embarrassing that our defense of him is based on his word saying he did not do it. Both Deila and Brown had known him for barely a month and yet they trust his word over Logan's. On what evidence? Word of mouth, so in other words was have done the same as them.

    I'm hoping your joking and that post is tongue in cheek and you're not blaming Logan for being abused. Players foul each other, that doesn't justify one player to racially abuse the other. And if Tonev did say it then I sincerely hope he knows why that's not acceptable now.

    ALEKSANDAR Tonev has today issued a statement following Tuesday's appeal ruling.
    He said: "A lot has happened in the last few months. It has been a very difficult time for me and everyone involved. All I can do is move on from this now.
    "I have made my case all along that I never used the words I was accused of using. I say again that I did not do this, I know what I am and I am not a racist.
    "I want everyone to understand that, most of all the Celtic fans, who have been a great support to me since coming to the Club. I know what happened and I know that I will definitely recover from this as a stronger person."

    Mindless is right in my opinion, I've heard all sorts being said in * football matches and no ones started whinging about it. If anyone is seriously offended by being called something on a football pitch they really need to grow up, or say something back to them, not cry about it.

    What ever happened to sticks and stones, one of the best pieces of advice I got when I was a young boy.

    Racism is fine if someone is kicking your ankles on a football pitch.

    Heard it all now.

    The 1st and 2nd reports contradict themselves. Someone has lied and someone has covered it up.

    Put it this way, if Logan was bullshitting, then karma will strike and hopefully some plumber * from the Scottish 2nd division will slide through him at 30 mph and break his legs, putting him out for 28 games, at least.

    By the sounds of it you were probably one of the idiots chucking bananas and making ape noises at Mark Walters. :rolleyes:
