Hope Our Supporters Behave On Sunday

I give up when was that 80s? I wasn't even born when that happned so why you are bringing something up that happned 20 odd years ago i don't know.

Ok have it your way everyone don't slag mcgregor better yet why don't we all take turns in giving him a wee back rub while we're at it. he's been through so much.

 

Some of yous saying how it's no big deal that McGregor got a kicking should be ashamed of yourselves. What if one of our players got a doing from hun fans, would we all just think that's banter?

I would put my money on the reason he got a doing was because a couple of our so called idiot fans (we do have many of these, let's not pretend we don't)....saw him out and about, were probably steaming themselves, and thought "lets assault this guy".

Football is a * game and folk....even hun players shouldn't be afraid to walk the streets of Glasgow in case they get a random beating.
Let's not forget that McGregor was out for an ex Celtic players birthday. If the players can put personal and professional rivalries aside, so should we. Our captains best pal is a bloomin Rangers player, mind that.
Comments such as “Sundays clash an opportunity to try and make up songs or banners about him getting a kicking or about rape..especially rape as it would be degrading to the victim.” Are also out of line....you in a backhanded way are basically insinuating he is a rapist there.
<o> </o>
How much you want to bet McGregor didn’t rape anybody? Why the * would he for Christ’s sake, you seen his g/f?
I would bet the ‘victim’ done what several ‘victims’ have done before and tried to drag footballers names through the mud. Fake rape scandals are all the rage these days, see Jody Morris,Robinho,Jonny Evans, Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Dickov, Keith Gillispie and Frank Sinclair.

I think we should not be shouting (or insinuating) anyone is a rapist until they are proven guilty of it.

 

yet your so prepared to shout and insinuate it was celtic fans who beat him up?

His gf's a munter BTW...

 

you say not guilty until proven guilty but in the same post you say you bet it was celtic fans that did it. either I have missed reports or you are just assuming it was celtic fans. ain't you doing exactly the same what the mcG = rapist-sayers are doing?

I can assure you, there are plenty of folk getting beaten up that ain't involved or interested in football.

 

Look at some of the hatred filled posts on here. Who else would want to beat a guy up because of the team he plays for apart from some of our 'so called' fans.

"As for his gf's a munter"...grow up mate, we're not at primary school anymore. I am trying to make a serious point here about how folk shouldn't be calling footballers rapists until it's proven (I doubt it ever will be) and that we can't live in a society where it's all alright to assault people because he plays or supports Rangers...or England...or Hearts or whoever.

 

You make a good point, but we have to live in a realistic world. It's more realistic that McGregor did not rape anyone, just as it's realistic that the people who beat him up would be more likely Celtic fans, than any other random punter.

But yes, overall I think I probably worded what I meant to say wrong. But I think its interesting the 'point' of what I was trying to say was ignored, and people just jumped on the defensive Celtic fan wagon.

 

Why on't we belt out the classics that they hate like the Boys of the Old Brigade or up the ra? In the last OF game, I noticed the manky mob seem to have got tired of the BJK nonsense as it was the first game against them in about 2 years they haven't sung it.

 

Aw ffs Ding Ding ,round 2.

 

Right so we've no to give their keeper abuse when they'll all be going mental at ours for blessing himself?
Don't think so!
I'm not saying him getting beat up was funny or anything, far from that, but any excuse to put them off and I will grab it at every opportunity.

 

precisely

 

I don't find it more realistic that celtic fans beat him up to be honest. footballers are famous for their "confidence", or let me say arrogance. as far as I know McGregor is famous for chatting up girls etc. it's just likely he chatted up a girl and her boyfriend didn't like it and booom.. happens every weekened in most clubs. with no football background.

I wasn't defending celtic fans - because there is nothing to defend. simply because either you are I know if it was celtic fans. you assume and therefore it's an opinion and not a fact.

Don't get me wrong, I also support the maxim proven until guilty. I wouldn't say he is a rapist untill the opposite is proven.

However I couldn't care less what people say or shout during a football game. it's full of emotions and especially the glasgow derby is one of the most intense games you can find on the globe. in the heat of the moment, for 90 mins, family fathers become swearing machines, people say what they normally wouldn't say. it's all about to express your emotion, your feelings, your joy and hatred. winding others up is part of that process.

so I wouldn't get to upset of what people say during a game (of course there are limits - racism for example), but apart from that almost everything is allowed. if you need to say the F*word 100 times during a game then do it if you think you can help your team.

Why so serious?

 

I think Celtic fans should * it right intae him and see how he likes it (Cause thats what hes been doing to his laddie friends)

 

sing to your hearts content get it right up them. its not that when they say BJK and it would be the same if it was artur boruc that done what mcgregor has allegedly done , * him hes an * anyway and he should be man enough to take it as he probably deserved to get knocked out for being an arrogant * him and lafferty he will be the next one to get a doing goign about bragging home much money they have .

and why would this shame the club by singing songs about it , its part and parcel of football
Its a thing called BANTER mate

 

Aye ok, everything you said there makes sense.

 

I think i double that on a regular basis at the footy.

Good post mate

 

I was the late eighties, 88/89 season I think. I wouldn't expect you to see the relevance as you seem unable to follow a discussion unless it leads to a set of circumstances which justify (in your mind) vile abuse towards others.

The thing is, back then, there were a good number of people who thought throwing bananas and wearing full gorilla/monkey suits at the games against 'them' was a great laugh, a bit of banter, something to cackle about while they pished down the back of trouser leg of the guy standing in front of them. Obviously they were wrong, and a * disgrace to our club in the process.

Fast forward twenty years and we have a new playing field, players are millionaires and more frequently becoming targets for golddiggers, blackmailers, burglers, scammers, hangers-on and the like. As has been re-iterated to you plenty of times, there is no evidence yet one way or the other, but you still want him declared guilty on banners and in song of an extremely serious offence he may be totally innocent of. Rangers player or not, it's simply wrong, just as the overwhelming majority have come to accept what happened to Mark Walters was wrong....

Obviously, when taking comments out of context doesn't work, resort to infantile jibes.

 

There is a big difference between getting carried away in the moment and premeditiated banners, flags and songs being written. Do you think previously fans just happened to go to games with bananas and monkey suits?

 

there's a big difference between insults and racist insults too.

at the end of the day I doubt any celtic fan really cares if he's a rapist or not, because it's not the matter. it's all about winding them up. if they wanna write songs and create banners then fair enough. I won't do those things.

 

Players make themselves targets do they not?

Why dose mcgregor put himself in these sort of situations? if he can't hack being in the spotlight and having his personal life highlighted then he should be more aware of the pressures he faces as a pro footballer.

If he is too be given respect then he must earn it. he can't be going and getting * out of his mind every night he can get away with it, he is ment to be an example too young kids, and you want me to go easy on this guy?
