portobellojambo1 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I'm really not sure what it is that is causing the offence here to UEFA/FIFA, whoever. It isn't sectarian, it isn't bigoted, it isn't political, it is isn't a player promoting themselves. It is a simple message that has appeared on many different forms of souvenir over the last little while. Anyone that takes offence at that has an agenda of sorts.

kitster Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 How could they not have known though? Blaming the strip guy is a bit ludicrous is it not? David Weir is well educated and I'm pretty sure he would have read the strip and had he any objections to it they would have had another as a replacement. They may be skint but the excuses are pathetic. I'm not offended myself but when you think of the bother they are in currently, it was a stupid move to make.

hearts_crazy Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Leaving aside for the moment the trivial nature of this non-story, hands up who actually believes that the kit guy embroidered (embroidered mind you) that message onto Davie Weir's top and that Davie Weir knew **** all about it. I mean seriously, is that the best they could come up with. Why do it in the first place when they know it will cause a storm in a teacup, ******* pricks the lot of them.

END OF STORY It doesn't matter if it says GTSQ, FTP, Congrats or Hi Mum. Your not allowed to do it. If they let one personal message slide, where does it end. Rules broken. Simple as that. Punishment please. So the name of a company stuck on the front of a strip isn't classed as a personal message then. I take it that Tennants (the OF) and/or Wonga (HMFC) want their name on football strips to promote other companies, or is it a personal message, promoting them. Where does the definition of what is personal and what is not stop or start, what falls into such categories. Presumably putting something on your shirts which isn't linked to your sponsors, assuming sponsors personal messages are acceptable is classed as not acceptable (against the rules/offensive), therefore a club like Barcelona, for example, should never play in a strip with UNICEF emblazoned on it. When it comes to being trumpets, the SFA are a long way behind those in power at both UEFA and FIFA.. There is so much wrong with the game, so much wrong with the OF, and this is all they can pick up on, sad feckin shop fronts. And I'm not missing the point, I know what the word offensive means, you have possibly assumed I meant this was reported by someone who is anti-royalist, the verb to offend has many definitions.

You are not allowed a personal message on the strip. It's against the rules. END OF STORY. It doesn't matter what it says. You getting this yet? Your first post clearly didn't.

world_3 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Some folk find offence at the slightest thing, they are usually celtic minded folk though. Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing. So it'll be fine if the Celtic jerseys today have a wee embroidered message about the dead Pope being made a saint? No problem for you there then, nothing to be offended about? Back on topic, there has to be none of this shite allowed on the jerseys ever, otherwise it'll get totally out of hand - every ned, nutter or pseudo-intellectual will have something different on their jersey. They should never have allowed sponsorship of the jerseys either IMO, looks crap and helps the rich clubs more than the poor ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbump Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Yes Rangers broke the rules but who do you think grassed them up?

MacDonald Jardine Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 That is amusing ! It technically does break the rules but it's not unusual. The same rule bans slogans on T shirts worn under the strip. Off hand I remember Rudi having "for the boss" on a T shirt just after Burley left and a few players have had messages about their kids or family members who are ill. I don't remember too many "disgusted" threads then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems a pretty trivial thing but the kitman should get a rollicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
