action unlikely for boruc

* bless artur

just lowesd reading the paper the manks r doin exactle what i said yesterday. moaning about boruc,s top.im telling u listen 2 the real radio phone in the night and ull hear the fukers greetin and nae dought cos theyr no happy the sfa will hammer the great artur. fukin joke i hate they priks wi a vengance man

 

thing is they cant touch him ,its not sectarisimn ,and there would be a lot of trouble if the sfa tried to do something ,yes they can do us ifthe soldiers song etc was getting it but not that ,thats a different ball game all together ,and it was pope john paul who was polish , the holy goalies homeland,sfa cant side with that ,we know there all dobs ,but if they did what kind of signal are they sending out ,they would love to ,but will they dare

 

Yeh they can't actually do anything about it if they did they'd be condemned by the Catholic church and you would think Celtic would probably take them to Uefa if they tried anything

 

If anyone finds a picture of the Pope offensive, that is there problem. It is a basic human right for any person to freely practice which ever religion they choose.

If any body, football orientated or otherwise, tried to punish Boruc for this, they would be absolutely slaughtered by the ECHR. I am sure that the SFA or SPL would not want to be portrayed as a Catholic hating nation.

 

The thing that you have to remember about Artur is he is a wind up merchant. He deliberately courts controversy and he loves it. Wearing that t-shirt makes us love him more, but it also makes the knuckledragging element of the hun fans angry, as would a FTP t-shirt worn by Ferguson.

I love Artur, being an atheist i can appreciate him for what he is; a great keeper who loves the drama. I love Old Firm players who ensure the games still has personality - Amoruso, Lennon, Ricksen and Boruc are prime examples. But did he really have to wear that t-shirt? For a man who is clearly more intelligent than the average footballer i think that was pretty stupid.

 

like I said in the boruc thread i locked.

nobody said * like that when kaka wore a jesus tshirt under his kit and through off his kit.

be sanctioned by the competition organiser. The team of a player
whose basic compulsory equipment contains political, religious or

Makes things a wee bit interesting...

 

So what if it makes them angry?A staunchly Catholic Polish goalkeeper wears a t-shirt featuring his hero for want of a better word..who was also a Polish goalkeeper..big deal...They did'nt care too much when Juan Sara revealed his Jesus saves t-shirt when he scored..He did it in front of us.Didn't go near them..If the sight of a fecking t-shirt winds people up so much i'd suggest it's their problem.
The fact that the media are concentrating on the fact that it angered the Huns is madness,the focus should be on why it angers them

 

Fair enough there is nothing technically wrong with it and rightly it will go unpunished.

But in all honesty he is just * stirring and just as i think he was wrongly booked for clapping the fans against Hibs he shouldn't have worn the t-shirt yesterday.

 

If the didn't enforce this rule with Kaka then they can't with Buruc surely?

That could be his defence if they do.

 

Hugh Keevins

''..Boruc, the "Holy Goalie", in the eyes of the Celtic fans, has a history of problems in Old Firm matches ranging from blessing himself to running across Ibrox with a championship flag.''

Gordon Strachan backs Artur Boruc over Old Firm pope t-shirt - The Daily Record


so blessing yourself is a problem?

Catholics are the anti-christ eh keevins?

 

it could be, but then their point will be kaka never done it to wind people up, we all know boruc did :icon_mrgreen:

 

you cant prove that since he has giant pictures of the pope in his house.

 

common sense tells you that he done it for a laugh to wind them up.
no?

 

the SFA are awaiting the referee report.

Fromm BBC SPORT : BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Celtic | SFA await ref's report on Boruc

 

As ik said he knows what he's doing, he is not stupid. How would the majority of Celtic fans feel if Ferguson unveiled a William of Orange t-shirt? It was immature and stupid.

 

what i think is irrelevant. its what fifa and uefa think. and he has pictures in his house of the pope therefore it wasnt done to wind the animals up.

 

William of Orange? Is he the leader of a faith?



You surely must be thinking of the queen..

 

exactly, he done it for attention.

its irrelevant what you think, but then you go on to say he has pictures in his house of the pope therefore it wasnt done to wind the animals up. aren't you saying, well i'm not giving my opinion on it because it counts for nothing, then giving your opinion on it?
the fact he has pictures of the pope show's he's religious, it dosn't show he wouldn't use that to wind some people up.

had barry ferguson wore a * save the queen t-shirt and wore it after an oldfirm win would he be alright, because he believes in the queen and all she stands for, or will he be in trouble because it was wore to wind us up
