In terms of sanctions from UEFA they are well into double figures over the last ten years or so. Instead of the proverbial slap on the wrist it is about time the ruling body handed out a meaningful punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sausage Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Pretty sure we suffered a week of BBC headlines as a result. No headlines on currently about the Celtic one, on a much bigger stage which will clearly harm Scotland’s reputation far more. Embarassment of a gutter press we have got.

Guest Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) The only way Celtic (or Rangers) will get the type and volume of negative headlines other clubs like us get for the same incidents is if both the OF misbehave the same way at the same time, eg an OF game that is even more mental than usual. It seems to be an unwritten media rule that you cannot have a go at one of the OF without bringing the other into it so as not to show bias. Or something.

It needs something more serious or a big name Lennon being all over the media is mostly because it is Lennon. Unlike the Salzburg player which is arguably more serious.

trago13 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The bigger problem for me is Lennon. The Celtic fan will have reacted in the same way as the Hearts fan. Enraged and so emotional that he has done something which is unacceptable and should be punished with a lifetime ban from football grounds and taken in front of the courts. The difference between both incidents in my opinion is the reaction of the person who was hit. Lennon, being Lennon knew it was a free gift to play the victim card again and he went 100% for it. The blow which was lucky to have not killed him, and then you could not shut the ****er up about it and the reasons why it happened. The RB player went down, clearly hurt, but then got up and got on with it. I haven’t seen any interviews from RB about religion or hate campaigns. So whilst I also believe the media should be covering in a similar fashion to the Lennon incident, it just isn’t going to happen because of that little **** Lennon. Maybe just maybe the coverage would have been similar if Lennon had laughed at a the fact a coin bounced off his chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
