Pewsham Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Well that is quite simply not true. There are people on both sides that have been guilty of offences, of course, but the amount both clubs, and the massive support of both clubs have done in raising money for charities or people in need, is staggering. Lets not forget Celtic fans, especially, have travelled the continent in a number Bristol City and the majority of English sides could only dream of, and created nothing but overwhelmingly positive relations on the way. I'll concede that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasbuster Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Because he's the catholic manager of the catholic football team and the perpetrators are all sectarian *****? Just a guess like. Yes, very clever. My point is why him, not the players, and none of his predecessors ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duesseldorf Citizen Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 A club with racist + sectarian following going bust ? Can't see the loss here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Roughneck Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Raith Rovers statement. "As a result of the participation of one of our Directors on an SFA panel, this football club finds itself now having to contend with various threats in the form of emails and telephone calls, during the build-up to an important SFL league match.This club, along with every other club in the SPL and SFL, voted for change at last year's AGM. Part of that change involved the setting up of a panel of individuals who would give of their time to better facilitate and judge on football issues affecting the game in Scotland. Individuals who agreed to an involvement in that process now find themselves chased by the media, vilified by sections of the press, subjected to abuse and hate. If this is the consequence of participation, it is more than likely that many will wish to consider whether or not such participation is worth such a price. This football club remains supportive of our Director's involvement in what has turned out to be a fiasco. It is, however, incumbent on us as a football club to point out that we are NOT directly involved in the process per se. Threats to our staff, our infrastructure and our reputation is something we could well do without. So far this week significant additional costs have been incurred here at Kirkcaldy. Equally, tomorrow's important game against our friends from Dumfries, will be subject to greater security and police presence than would otherwise be the norm. The Board at RRFC will have to consider why we should be subject to additional costs in support of a battle which has nothing to do with the football club. We may well be viewed as 'collateral damage' in the wider debate re the future of one of the country's larger footballing institutions, but we are nevertheless heartily sickened by what has happened this week. This Board now looks to the footballing authorities to defuse the current mayhem and allow this football club – and no doubt others – to get back to business as usual.

Nibor Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yes, very clever. My point is why him, not the players, and none of his predecessors ? Do you think maybe Lennon was mailing the sectarian ***** bullets first? Or are you just going to try and apportion him some blame based on him somehow upsetting their sensitive natures? Don't be ridiculous, the victim is blameless in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciderhead433 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 This is why he might be hated so much. Lennon decided to retire from international football in August 2002 upon receiving a death threat before a Northern Ireland match against Cyprus The threats came after his alleged claim that he wanted to play for a team representing a united Ireland The threat was allegedly made by the LVF, although the organisation later denied this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Well he does have ginger hair, so not entirely blameless. That might qualify him as deserving but it isn't his fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
