Aleksandar Tonev

Maybe his lawyer thinks it's not likely he'll win if he brings it to court, regardless of whether he actually said it or not.

It's all guesswork. Assumptions are dangerous.

 

There's no evidence that Tonev is a racist. None. But there is evidence that Logan is a *.

 

A black *, apparently........

 

If he knows for a fact that there is no hard evidence to prove that he did then why does he not appeal regardless of guilt or innocence?

 

Your guess would be as good as mine there mate.

 

Only Tonev and Logan know who is telling the truth..

If it's taken to the CAS and Tonev and Celtic lose what then..?

The club were very quick to back Tonev, rightly OR wrongly which has left their hands tied in a no win situation

There was defo an air of resignation around his statement yesterday for whatever reason..

We shouldn't go to CAS just because we have backed him initially..

If Tonev doesn't want to push it we shouldn't on his behalf out of some misguided sense of moral superiority..he's not even our player, what have Villa said over this, why is just our reputation on the line..?

Better for all to move on and if Tonev impresses after his ban, sign him..

 

From what i've read CAS would probably back the SFA and the only * that can overrrule them is the Swiss Federal Court. It looks like we've been advised to let it drop. A new day has dawned!

 

If this was the case then surely he would have reacted then and cried racism immediately. Instead he reported it to his captain who spoke to the referee as soon as possible. Hardly the actions of somebody who's only concern is getting a player sent off.

What player hasn't had 'bust ups and short-tempered moments'? And you can't use that criteria to judge who is a an appropriate/acceptable victim. If that was the case then presumably you would have no problem with some of the idiots who have abused Neil Lennon on religious grounds not being charged, or having their charges reduced on appeal, because he is not believable on account of his misdemeanors on a football pitch?

A FACT is Logan has no history of making racism based allegations. He has no reason to lie and he was clearly confident in what has happened to him, hence the fact that his word was believed over Tonev's and our legal teams.

As stated, it clearly doesn't bother him, he has already decided not to pursue this, which is something I just cannot understand if he is 100% innocent. The man has the full backing of our club and is due to miss 7 games anyway and have this incident on his long-term record. Why wouldn't he do anything to try and prove that he is innocent when knowing full well that his retreat makes him look more guilty than ever before?

Also, again he has not been branded a racist, he is said to be guilty of using racist language. A case in point would be Suarez who used language towards Patrice Evra that is not acceptable in England and Europe, but in his home country it is common to make nicknames of physical characteristics, e.g. skin color, height and facial features. Just because Tonev (may have) used racist language does not make him a racist. That being said he should still be punished and educated about why it is bad.

 

The only reason he was found guilty is because he is a Celtic player and it was the SFA who were dealing with it.

 

Who gives a * if he has no history of making these allegations.
He has every reason to lie.
He was trying to kick him all over the park. When Tonev decided to tell him to * off the whiney * decided to make a racist allegation because he knew that he would get away with it.
What the Tonev legal team should have done is demand video evidence of the way the scumbag was playing that day showing all the cheating * dirty play.

 

Not serious, are you?

 

Lord Bonomy has dealt with far more serious enquiries don't think his credentials can be called into question..

Tonev's reputation not more important than the clubs we should draw a line under it before it's damaged more...

 

The big bad sfa card has been played.

 

Naw, but had history of being a beast and a high risk deviant.

Hardly a good example......

 

Let's start keeping this simple again lads.

One man claimed to be a victim. The accused denies it. No evidence was given. What should be the outcome?

 

no previous murders though.

He got off with rape & being a paedophile admittedly.

 

Since when did society start believing the black man anyways???

 

Does Tonev have a history of using racist language ?
