    Possibly. Will it be a serious as this breach? I doubt it.

    You also have to accept that these are not the same.

    Stokes is not out of the team because he did or didn't hit elvis.

    Are you kidding me on!

    He broke the law you muppet! Ronny ain't put people's life's in danger and thought he was above the law.

    You also have no proof as to why stokes didn't get on with Ronny either just assumption.




    And you can shove yet apology up yet *

    Stokes is out of the team because he didn't score in 26 of his 27 European appearances for us. He's a forward. Surely you can see some connection there?

    He is out for according to Deila "discipline" reasons. We have seen Griff, Commons, & Brown breach discipline and get away with it. Stokes has been hung out to dry. Now this is the most serious breach yet from Callum. It will be interesting to see how they handle it.

    For the record it didnt sit right with me how Stokes was treated and I dont want to see Callum treated the same for being young and stupid. But this is dangerous for the management team and they need to be careful here.

    I dont want people to get the wrong idea. If we had a genius talent I would let him away with some things that other players would not get away with e.g. Gazza, Ronaldinho etc. What I hate is victimizing a single player and making a big show of it, if you are not going to treat every breach the same.

    There is a big difference in letting a genius off with things and picking on a player for the sake of proving a point.

    I don't buy the young guy excuse here, he's what 22/23 years old? He is a young guy, but that shouldn't be held up as an excuse for drink driving. It's a * thing to do.

    I do wonder about our team sometimes, and how much this league title really means to them. We're 3 points ahead with 14 games to go and a cup tie tomorrow and we've got guys on the lash.

    Pathetic. You misrepresented me and you dont even know me. You accused me of condoning drink driving. I dont normally react like this when people paint a false picture of me but you crossed the line. Without going into it I found your accusation offensive and I normally laugh off the vilest abuse on here. You just seen my name and * went for it. You made a mistake clearly but not being man enough to apologies,well that's up to you.

    Exactly. It would be hard to breach discipline even more to be honest. There is no excuse at all and he should be punished. People are always going to do something stupid though so as a club we cant back ourselves into a corner with how we handle them. Punish them and move on is the optimal solution but in this case I dont think they can after the show that was made about another player.

    Na man, I read your * on here everyday, i see the games you play and I know your style.

    You used this whole situation to turn it into a anti Ronny post and a stokes is a victim post!

    Everyone's sick of it.

    Also I didn't say you condoned drink driving. I clearly answer with "so that makes it alright" then you stated that you didn't condone it. It was done after that I never kept going at you for that I went at you for the Ronny/stokes obsession.
    And you are a *.

    I see the lynch mob is out in force because of a story printed by the mirror group.

    Well you can because this is the world of football and McGregor has more to offer to the first team than Stokes.

    Doesn't mean it's right though.

    Huge fraud case going on and the front page is a bad news Celtic story.

    I would laugh if I hadn't seen this script a million times before.

    Have to wait and see if it's true first of all, if it is then no excuses. You put yourself and others in danger by drink driving it's not acceptable and Stokes or Deila has * all to do with it.

    Exactly you seen my name and you went for it. You accuse me of using an emotive issue to point score regarding the Stokes situation and you use the exact same issue to do the same with me.

    This does bring up and interesting dilemma for the managerial team though as I have highlighted and I am not having a go at them because I dont know how they will handle it.

    In responce to Dealer, I hope you are not including me in this lynch mob. I have stated that I would like to see a pragmatic approach to punishment i.e. do it and move on. I dont see how they cant throw the book at him though becuase Stokes was hung out to dry for disicpline breaches and this incident is as bad as you can get so you would expect the punishment to be the same i.e. McGregor never to feature for Deila for 6 months followed by a loan?

    To TimFloyd, your point is what I am getting at although I disagree that McGregor offers more than Stokes but Deilas perception is that he does, which will make this interesting.

    You would cut some players a little slack but at the same time you complain that all players have not been treated the same as stokes.....?

    And no im not saying any of our players are up there with Ronaldino,but you are sending out mixed signals here.

    People want griff replaced because he is not good enough...the same people want stokes in the team despite not scoring in 23 games in europe.


    This place is crazy.

    I tried to make that clear. My philosophy is that some players do get a bit of slack. Myth let Gazza do what he wanted and the likes of McInnes etc had different rules altogether. This is because special talent should be treated differently and even the players know this.

    So I dont want to have any confusion that I do indeed support some players being cut a little slack over others. In this case though I think everyone would agree that neither Stokes or McGregor are flawed geniuses so their cases should be dealt with on an even keel.
