A further statement from Celtic and a complaint to OFCOM about Sky.

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.

 

Celtic have asked for an apology to be made to Morelos:

3.   Mr Morelos has been seriously misrepresented and is deserving of apology and explanation. 

 

Who'd have thought that Celtic would be the ones to defend Morelos and stand up for him. :rofl:

Can’t believe I’m saying it but I agree with Celtic. 
 

If you disregard the disingenuous ‘poor Mr Morelos’ angle and the sheer hypocrisy of the sectarian culture rampant within their own club, which admittedly are two pretty sizeable hurdles, then I agree with the things they’ve said regarding the media.
 

It’s all too easy for big news corporations to dictate the narrative of everything in society from the football pitch to politics, even if it’s one in the same for many. 
 

Celtic are complicit in a lot of the things they claim to be so morally against and I find it laughable, but I’ll always be on the side of anybody that attempts to hold these corporations responsible for their lies and deliberate attempts to set a skewed narrative, especially when they’re caught red handed.

Rangers released a statement, which was subsequently deleted.

 

Might need to zoom a bit!

Now that the Police have charged an individual with racially abusing Alfredo Morelos at the Old Firm game on 29 December, it is necessary to state yet again that racist abuse, indeed abuse of any form, must never be condoned or dismissed.

The first thing to be made clear is that even though many others commented on the issue of abuse (racial and sectarian) directed towards Alfredo Morelos, Rangers had a duty of care not to say anything that might compromise a live Police Scotland investigation. What none of us should ever do, however, is dismiss, or trivialise abusive behaviour as too many media outlets, journalists, and pundits have done in this instance.

Perhaps there might be a bout of contrition and one or two may feel a pang of guilt now that the evidence some of them so loudly demanded is there in the form of this charge.

If enough of our media had been of a mind to treat the issue with the gravity required from the outset, as normally happens with these issues, there would have been none of the dismissive comments which have helped pollute social media, newspapers and broadcast platforms. Social media is, of course, largely lawless but some of the pieces written and broadcast around Alfredo Morelos in mainstream media were and remain disgraceful.

He has been described as a waster, a cheat, an angry brat and one columnist/pundit actually wrote that if you can’t take the vitriol you are in the wrong city. The implication seems to be that the fault lies not with those who choose racism and abuse, but with a young immigrant who chose to come to our country. This is a deeply disturbing attitude and that it was actually expressed in a national newspaper defies belief.

When a player is at the centre of an abuse claim he is treated with respect and sensitivity and given support. That is certainly the case in England, but not here and most certainly not with Alfredo Morelos, who is actually being demonised in many quarters of the media.

A number of factually incorrect stories have been written and published about Alfredo recently causing a great deal of stress and anxiety within his family at a time when his heavily-pregnant wife should be calm and relaxed.

A river of negative and hurtful attention has been flowing towards the Morelos family without thought or concern for the individuals involved and the way they have been treated is shameful. Especially vulgar is the manner in which claims of abuse, racist and sectarian, have been dismissed in some quarters – BBC Scotland in particular – where the overall situation has been mocked amid outrageous claims that Rangers were behind the leaking of certain stories. None of this shows our media and country in a good light.

Perhaps now some people will take a long and honest look at themselves and who knows, they might even apologise, but all of this serves only to make Rangers even more committed to our Everyone Anyone campaign. We will not stop or slow our efforts to make Ibrox a place open and welcoming to all.

Finally, Rangers would be more than happy to accommodate the young person involved in this latest incident on one of our courses designed to help people understand why racist and sectarian abuse is unacceptable. Indeed, if any of those journalists/pundits who got it so badly wrong would like to attend we’d also welcome and help them.

I am so pleased that in Scotland we have such two saintly clubs. I do wonder however where these sectarian chants are coming from when these clubs play. Perhaps everyone in Scotland has a unique form of tinnitus apart from them and we are all mishearing lovely friendly sporting songs being sung instead.

 

That must be the case as I'm sure such principled clubs would be announcing bans and further criminal proceedings if there were (God forbid) any such instances from their loveable friendly fans. 😇

Nice work by Celtic : getting Rangers to apologise to their own player for misrepresenting the players words.  Superb.

They can't seriously be trying to take the moral high ground here? Have they not had parts of their ground shut down twice this year by UEFA for racist & sectarian chanting?

 

Wonder if they'll invite their 15 year old fan who was racist towards Shay Logan last week along to that class they need to run because of all their Neanderthal fans?

 

Also, they'll look even more silly if the 12 year old child is found not guilty.

 

What a shit statement to put out that leaves them open to ridicule. Lovely.

Club 1872 Statement on Scottish media treatment of Alfredo Morelos

11 February, 2020

Club 1872 notes the criminal charges filed in relation to the racist abuse of Alfredo Morelos by Celtic supporters at the recent Old Firm Game at Celtic Park and we hope the police are able to identify and charge the other perpetrators. We also commend Rangers on their statement yesterday which highlighted the disgraceful coverage which this incident has received in the Scottish press and by BBC Scotland.

Having been in constant contact with the club on this matter over the past week, we were aware that it was likely that criminal charges would be forthcoming and that robust comment from the club would follow. On all matters of interest to the support we make strong and frequent representations to the club. Those discussions will not always be made public but they always take place and it is Club 1872’s priority to effect real and meaningful change on behalf of supporters through our influence as major shareholders.

We fully understand the frustration of supporters who were waiting to hear from Rangers or Club 1872 but who, in the meantime, had to put up with Scottish media commentators and columnists who were more interested in conspiracy theories than calling out racism.

Let us be clear here. Every single journalist or commentator who played down this racist incident or tried to cast doubt on it even happening, was well aware that Rangers had reported it to the police, that the police were investigating and that it was referenced in the match delegate’s report. They are also aware that these are not the first charges to be filed in the past year in relation to racist abuse of Rangers players. For Tom English, Michael Stewart, Bill Leckie, Roger Hannah, Davie Provan and Gordon Waddell, to name but a few, to demand more proof than that before accepting that this incident took place was shameful. For several of them to use it as their latest excuse to attack the club or the player himself was even worse. Their comments mirrored and then legitimised the bile which emanated from the worst corners of social media towards Rangers, Alfredo Morelos and his family. In any similar situation, with any other player and any other club, they would be pariahs.

With that in mind we met with Rangers this morning to discuss how this incident should signal a fresh approach to the relationship between the club and the media in Scotland. The access granted to these media outlets is a valuable commodity and as such it should be justifiable from both a commercial and reputational point of view. With huge, ongoing changes to the way information is consumed it is not clear what benefit the club derives on either of these fronts from the traditional Scottish media. On that basis we have made representations to the club about providing the same access for supporter led, new media and that proposal has been well received.

It is our firm belief that Rangers should no longer provide valuable content to traditional outlets without there being measures in place to deal with those who publish the sort of bile we have seen in recent weeks. Having reached the stage where some pundits and journalists feel it is acceptable to publicly deny, downplay or make excuses for the racism suffered by a Rangers player, it is clear that the relationship with those journalists and their employers needs to be carefully and continuously re-examined.

We fully understand that it is not desirable to completely ban media outlets from Ibrox but it is also not acceptable for media outlets to target our club, fans and players and still expect to be granted unfettered access to the content generated by the club. We will continue our dialogue with both the club and those media outlets over the coming weeks and months with the aim of ensuring that the situation significantly improves.

When i read this pish i find myself thinking that maybe it's best for Celtic to win the league after all. They're no better I know but fxck me.

I hate Celtic. I hope they win the league. Newco are an embarrassment to Scottish football but have been enabled since their 2012 formation by the third rate association supposedly running our game.

For all member clubs.

I see that the daily record are running with a story that morellos was racially abused last night. Mikey Stewart will have an interest in the timing perhaps. The article also refers to a hearts fan and two Aberdeen fans being charged. No mention of the games but i thought that no further action was taken against hearts fan?

Anything to deflect from the fact that Europes most in demand striker is only 2 goals ahead of Doidge in the league this season. 

Can't play St Joseph's every week. 

Also amazing how he understands so much of the abuse.

Glib and Shameless - We need a positive news story about Morelos. There's too much negative, even from brother Masons.

 

Traynor - Well, it's awfy hard. He's a wee dirty cheating jobbie wth nae redeeming features. How do we go positive on that?

 

Glib and Shameless - The nuclear option...

 

Traynor - Racism? Portray Morelos as a victim? That's genius, boss! If you urnae the cleverest man in Scottish fitba, I'm an Airdrie supporter...

Do they mention that he was booked for simulation in trying to get a penalty awarded?

 

And subsequently failed to receive a second booking for further simulation in trying to get a penalty awarded?

If you had to put the 10 biggest Rangers haters in a room and asked them to put together a squirrel plan that would backfire so badly, they couldn't have put this $h!tfest of a plan together.

 

Of course all racism is wrong and whoever racism is aimed at, but racism goes beyond just skin colour so the irony of this isn't lost on the rest of us when reading statements made by people associated to the Rangers fanbase.

 

Rangers need Morelos, simple as that.  There is no chance of them winning the league without him.  They need him to be focused on playing football and staying on the pitch.  And despite all this chat about his improved onfield discipline he was sent off twice in December for second bookings.

 

1_ Motherwell in 70th minute when scoring matching winning goal and gesturing towards Motherwell fans when he had a whole end of Rangers fans to celebrate with.

2. Celtic in the 96th minute and last play of the same for diving in the box.  I mean how effing stupid?

 

And on Wednesday he really should have been sent off for 2 dives although Rangers could rightly be a bit peeved aobut Dicker not being sent off,  the Killie equaliser and Morelos' 'push' goal decisions could all have went the other way. 

 

So 5 points lost because he wasn't on the pitch and another 3 when not looking as sharp pre break whether that be due to a lack of match sharpness or the off field stuff that really Rangers and their PR should have handled oh so differently.  (Wait for facts, focus all forms of racism, not just the one indvidual, try and play games with the press and Celtic. is Morelos himself strong enough to have all the focus on him when despite all his goals it seems pretty obvious he isn't and so on....)

 

As with most of us on here I'm male, white, hetrosexual and while a humanist, Church of Scotland christened, so I really have no idea what it is like to be prejudiced against.  I have sympathy for Morelos for any racist abuse he receives, but he is also to an extent being used and abused by the Rangers PR machine for whatever reason.

 

Another self inflicted post death wound.

Do they mention that he was booked for simulation in trying to get a penalty awarded?

 

And subsequently failed to receive a second booking for further simulation in trying to get a penalty awarded?

22 seconds and 49 seconds - if you can be ersed to watch. Quite frankly the game here is as bent as a dug's hind leg.

 

To be honest, my point, made rather badly perhaps, was that A - DR were stating a Hearts fan had been charged, i havent saw anything elsewhere to support that, and B - They were deflecting away from the scoreline and title chances disappearing. However, reports since indicate someone was racially abusing him.

No, your point was fine - I just took the DR reporting bit to show how one-sided it was likely to be. And if that gives me a free swipe at the SFA...I'm taking it! 😁

Of course the people who run the EPL will be looking at all of this and thinking, "We must get these two fine, upstanding clubs in our league as soon as possible. We don't have nearly enough petty squabbling between clubs via badly-written statements designed to appeal to the very worst of both of their supports."

No, no, no. You've got that wrong.

 

They would be willing to accept a cut price offer of £4M.

Love how he screwed the nut, got himself focused, banged in the goals and waited for the big move he was promised... ..

 

Then threw the toys out of the pram and went batshit mental when it never materialised
