sjh1874 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 In other news the SFA, SPFL and the complete cast of the Scottish Media appear to condone Sectarian abuse.

Footballfirst Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Here's the view of a journalist who covers South American football. I assume he is fluent in Spanish. Simon Edwards@SimonEdwardsSAF South American football journalist. Colombia expert for @WorldFootballi Copa Libertadores & South American Football Show. Luxury #10, Paisa chiviado, Mono. Simon Edwards@SimonEdwardsSAF What Morelos actually says in this interview: "There have been a lot of racist gestures towards me. Including in Aberdeen with my mum, she was with me & they threw coins, threw everything. Sometimes when I celebrate goals in away games" "But no, I am a person who moves forward. Who doesn't stop... who doesn't pay much attention because the truth is it is my work and it's my passion to score goals and I know the others fans won't like that". "Are you ever worried about your safety?" "I don't know what they wanted to do, I don't know what they are going to do. They hadn't done what they wanted. If I hadn't noticed that the kid was under the car I don't know what could have happened" In the interview he doesn’t once mention Celtic specifically but rather points to the racism & abuse he has received from away fans during his time in Scotland In passing he mentions one incident where his mother was in the ground playing against Aberdeen Despite never once mentioning Celtic in the interview, every article has taken the inaccurate translation and lead with ‘Morelos slams racist Celtic’. The racist incidents are serious and it needs to be reported but this is a complete distortion of what was said or intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translations provided to Celtic Football Club have shown inconsistencies between the words spoken during the interview broadcast and the subtitles used by Sky Sports. In particular, and most concerning, while the broadcaster used the following subtitle on screen: "Afterwards it was very frustrating to hear the crowd screaming at me. They were saying offensive and racist words.” Mr Morelos does not use these words anywhere within the extended interview which has been broadcast across Sky’s platforms. Celtic FC has asked Sky Sports to clarify their position on this matter. Celtic, a club open to all since its inception, abhors racism. Our consistent stance is that wherever racism exists it should be tackled head on. Celtic will always investigate any report of racist behaviour and take appropriate action. This is a standard which all clubs should meet. Celtic needs no encouragement to pursue racism, particularly as players and management at the club have suffered abuse persistently over the years. The seriousness of such cases has been confirmed with the prosecution and criminal convictions of some of the perpetrators. Celtic is proud of the wonderful reputation earned by its supporters over many years in many countries and at home. The club owes it to them to act in a responsible, dignified and professional manner and to treat racism with the seriousness it deserves.

When I was younger, all the guys in Drog supported Celtic without question. Now, there's a couple who check the scores every week, but much prefer watching English football. I think most people have gotten sick of the toxic bile that both clubs represent...it's definitely something that makes Scotland look v bad.

The Internet Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Not the first time sky sports have mucked about with quotes from people. Raheem sterling said he'd never pick up a gun and they randomly added 'again' to the end of the quote. Completely changing the translation from an interview in Spanish is a step up in the 1984esque altering of the truth though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETTY29 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Racism won't chase Morelos from Rangers. Things that may 'chase' him include - An unbelievably good cash offer - A desparation for the need for any amount of cash by Rangers - The or the continuing fact that Morelos just can't learn where that line is on the park with Rangers not being able to do that much about it now due to the PR stance superseding any common sense football stance.

Footballfirst Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 A further statement from Celtic and a complaint to OFCOM about Sky. http://www.celticfc.net/news/17507 The statement starts: THE statement issued by Sky Television is inadequate. It does not identify the source of the translation or why phrases, which bore no relationship to the words used by Mr Morelos, were introduced into it. In view of the substantial issues of public interest involved, Celtic have lodged a complaint with the broadcasting regulator, Ofcom, who can seek the necessary answers and adjudicate accordingly. It goes on to reproduce the letter of complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
