Sorry, didn't realise it was a Rangers song. You brought Tories into it ...I am against false character assassinations of anyone , regardless of creed, colour or politics. Being bigoted against someone because of their politics is every bit as bad as what Isma has alleged...whether that is a "happening", "right-on" view at your polytechnic, bothers me not a jot. Bye. Oh yeah, and what were you commemorating then? The Haymarket Riot? I sure hope you didn’t sing the lines about “scatter her enemies, make them fall”. A glorious anti-bigot like you would surely have been shouting about justice and bigotry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accusing me Of forgetting basic decency when I go to the games? If you can find any one of my posts where I agree with anything sectarian, bigoted, racist then fine I’ll leave Kickback. I guarantee you won’t so I expect an apology. That’s if your man enough and decent enough to do so. This is thread is littered with me debating and arguing for people to report incidents to the club. Does that strike you as someone that forgets basic decency at a game? You said: "no matter what club you ever follow there will always be some unsavory element and incidents." I agree. Doesn't mean you can't try to rid the club of them though instead of just accepting it's part of watching football. Why should it be part of watching football? I'm specifically talking about racism and sectarianism by the way. Booing of our own players is a whole other thing but not as serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The direct quotes from Isma suggest differently. Not sure how else I'm supposed to take that tbf. It’s fairly clear no? Isma claims he had a great relationship with all the people at the club but can’t tell them something that made him and his family so unhappy he wanted out and instead goes to the media after he leaves and going by what CL has said he feels like he’s failed the guy. What reason did he give CL then for wanting to leave? A better deal then drops a bomb from thousands of miles away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be given racism is still around, like sectarianism which only started getting tackled in Scotland after some journos finally started writing about it. I don't know what goes on with Isma but either way he's the victim in this. Not sure I'm comfortable with it being turned into a "why didn't he report it?" thing. I've known people who have left jobs rather than confront issues at work. Not everyone's equipped to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 8 hours ago, Barack said: Mr. Levein just been live on SKY, discussing the weekend. Isma, almost inevitably, was raised. Said he was slightly embarrassed Isma felt he couldn’t talk to him about it, and he said that’s on him(Levein) & that he will speak to the players today , & fully support any player that makes any allegations along those lines. Adding that the club will do its upmost to stamp out. Again he reiterated he’s embarrassed that perhaps Isma felt he wasn’t approachable, the reporting lines are there for any player, & will work on it personally in future. Never heard it, but sounds like a fair and sensible response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was suggested he had a great relationship with all at the club yet he couldn’t tell anyone what was going on with him. CL possibly didn’t want him to leave so what reasons did he give for wanting out? A player says he wants to leave surely somebody asked why? Did he say it was purely financial and then fires this at the club from afar? Isma has been at ten clubs, is this the first time him or his family have encountered this?

Some of the pish I hear coming out some of our fans mouths I wonder if theyve dressed themselves. Some of our fans are brain dead morons who only come to shout abuse and think they’ve got the right to do it. OK , I’ll spell it out. The word you used, which has now been mod-edited, is a word that used to denote people with a learning disability. Sadly, it still seems to be in common use in the USA. Language moves on, and disabled people here are no longer referred to by that name, and that’s good. But the well-established principle is that you shouldn’t use these kind of terms to mock others. That’s all. My point was that you should expect to be challenged if you use that word. Likewise, you shouldn’t mock people who cannot dress themselves. It sounds like you are fortunate enough to be able-bodied. Celebrate that, without insulting those less fortunate. One day, in all probability, somebody else will dress you. To answer your question, no I wasn’t offended and I’m not sure where you got that from. This isn’t about me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
