Noel Whelan Morelos is petulant and childish

Morelos is an easy target because of his past indiscretions, but the reality is, he’s not a dirty player. I would argue he’s kinda misunderstood. Ask a mentally challenged what they think of him, first thing they generally say is he’s a thug, I ask why that is. He leaves his studs in, he’s a bit petulant at times, but that’s just in his nature. Sometimes yes he’s at danger of being sent off but it’s the captains job to calm him down and have a word in his ear.
I pose the same question to them about brown. His actions and general dirty play goes unnoticed pretty much every time, mainly because he’s Celtic captain and he’s Scottish, it’s part of the fabric to leave a bit on someone now and again but he’s just as dirty, if not even more so. I usually get the type of response like “ach yoor just a daft hun whoo hates broony an at” if I ever question him.
If they rat bastards had won Saturday, morelos would still have been branded a thug because he’s an easy target for them.
We as a club should now be setting the narrative here, why didn’t brown get booked or at least cited for a clear and obvious off the ball incident? Why hasn’t he been cited when gerrard got cited for comments he made in a post match interview? Why are Celtic players treated differently to Rangers players?
The integrity of the people who deal with the discipline committees etc should be starting to get called into question here by the club.
We’ve had it done to us for years and years now whilst they get favourable treatment, we should be looking to turn the screw.

Exactly mate.

WHY is Morelos the talking point here when Brown’s offence was significantly more aggressive ?

WHY ?

Its 100% true. He hasn't learned one thing. If he's sent off the result may not have happened. Pure selfishness.

Correct on all points. I can't wait until he is punted, an absolute liability. They know how to get to him, and as Rangers will never defend him/call out Brown/Barisic incident...red cards await.
 
Did he come out and say the same when Brown tripped him as Morelos walked off in a previous game that led to Morelos being sent off or did that not suit this nobody's agenda?

NOEL WHELAN has branded Alfredo Morelos as 'petulant and childish' after his slap on Celtic skipper Scott Brown.

The Rangers striker was caught on camera raising his hands to the Hoops midfielder as the Light Blues ran out 2-0 winners at Parkhead.

Steven Gerrard's men opened up a four point gap on Neil Lennon and Co after Connor Goldson's Old Firm double on Saturday in the first showdown between the title rivals this season.

But Whelan says that moment could have changed the game in Celtic's favour had referee John Beaton sent the Colombian hitman off.

Speaking to Football Insider, Whelan said: "Steven Gerrard appeared to have cut out that petulance from his game but it is still down there, deep down.

"We saw it come out again and that moment could have been pivotal in the game.

"It could have been a game-changer. You cannot do that.

"You cannot raise your hand to anybody. It is a deliberate, aggressive movement towards another player. It is a red card by anyone's books.

"It is horrible to see that creep back into his game.

"For me, it is unacceptable. It is petulant and childish.

"He should be worrying about getting on the scoresheet."

Morelos is yet to break his scoring duck against Celtic but caused some problems for Shane Duffy, Kristoffer Ajer and youngster Stephen Welsh at the heart of Lennon's defence.

He is right
 
I always see him have articles about us or talking about transfer rumours involving us. Why on earth is he always talking about us? You couldn't even claim he was a big name don, he's a literal nobody acting the expert on Scottish football.
 
So eh... why exactly is Noel Whelan (took a google search to remember who the f*ck he is) speaking to "Football Insider" (another google search) about Alfredo Morelos? And who the f*ck is reporting it? How very odd.

Exactly. Ask the Chelsea and Athletico Madrid fans what they think of Diego Costa’s attitude, they absolutely adore him. After Morelos noised that cretin Broon up on Saturday Broon immediately lost the place and stuck one on Barisic. If the fanny of a linesman was doing his job he would have been sent off. Job done by Morelos. I do agree Morelos needs to be a lot more clever at times but let’s back the guy, there’s enough out there waiting to hound him for everything.
 
Alfie strongly dislikes Scott Brown, and he took the opportunity to slap him on the head. Given Brown's assault on Borna right afterwards I doubt Alfie will be cited. The ref didn't take any action, so no harm done. Well done Alfie. What is petulant to hypocrites is just desserts to us who know you're unfairly singled out by a litany of arseholes.

What Brown does is irrelevant really, getting caught doing something and saying ‘but he’s doing it too’ is childish. Morelos knows he’s marked, he knows the history, he knows how much the game means. But, yet again, the only thing he really does in the game is act petulant. He’s so easily got to, it is the absolute main reason barely any club is interested in him.

But when the media choose as to who is caught, that's where the issue lies. Their hard on for Morelos has been going on since he arrived. Brown gets a free pass despite doing the same but rather than being a hot headed Scotsman, he's apparently 'clever' in what he does.

Maybe Morelos was being clever in getting brown riled? If the elbow on barisic had been seen he'd have been off.

What Morelos did is wrong but when the compliance officer is clearly influenced by reports in the media then we could lose Morelos for a game all while the brown elbow is ignored so he continues to play.

It's not about being childish - it's about a level playing field.
 
They simply dont like it up them.

Brown has been caught regularly making "aggressive movements" towards opponents season after season.

Unpunished elbows in the face on.. Barisic, Miller and Holt.

Maybe not childish but absolutely aggressive.

looked to me as though Alfie gave him a slap for some comments he makes.

Every one of them you mention should have been red.

As dapper dado mentioned above, what do we need to do to get objectivity with both the SMSM and Scottish Football authorities ?

Or alternatively, do we drop our trousers and continue to allow them to shaft us ?
 
It really doesn`t matter what his career stats are, or `who the f... is he`.
It most definitely wasn`t a sending off, but the guys right, Alfie is still
a prospective timebomb. He cant help himself, and i for one, cringe
every time he barges or leaves one on another player.
If it was any of our other guys, i wouldn`t be bothered, but you just
know most refs are desperate to do him.
He WILL cost us again.
 
graemeM said:
He's 100% correct. We were 1nil up and cruising, if the ref saw that the chances are he would have been sent off. It could have completely changed the game from us being in total control to playing with 10 men. I thought this was all behind him and I wondered if Gerrard would keep him in at half time. Before anyone starts the same could be said about Brown, but he tends to be more streetwise / sneaky and is not so blatant.

How more blatant do you want him to be?

He punched and elbowed Barisic FFS!
 
gordy73 said:
Why's Brown no under the same scrutiny (I know why, just making a point) for his elbow and punch right after on Barisic? Watch it turn up 10 fold on Morelos to try and unsettle him and us now that they know they won't have it all their own way

Exactly

That's not really Alfies problem, is it?

If referees can't apply the rules consistently, only our players should change?

This board was screaming for years for a player to put that dickhead brown in his place.

Morelos, Kent and Flanagan have all put him on his arse.
Why is Alfie the only one who is a problem?

I've suggested on here that the club need to get on top of this and be more forceful before.

We have a commercial relationship with Boyd's company now so why not leverage it going forward. We should be putting things to him to take to the production team at SKY.

McCann is now on sportsound fairly regularly, so do what the tims do with Stewart and put the incident to him and ask him to bring it up or put it forward.
 
Well, Boncho Genchev (as well as his spells at Ipswich, Luton, Sporting CP and Hendon, played under Graham Roberts at Carshalton and is therefore perfectly entitled to comment on Scottish football!) says that Brown is a wank who no longer has any kind of impact on actual footballing matters, so has resorted to to trying to have an impact in non playing footballing matters and that he should just retire, skulk off wherever folk like him retire to and leave the rest of the world in peace. He also says that a Noel Whelan, whatever one of those is, should join Brown wherever it is he is going.
 
Wait wait wait wait,childish really wasn’t it Noel Whelan who let Magnus Hedman give HIS missus not Hedmans,a seeing too while he,Whelan sat and played the PlayStation

Good point Miyagi.

We really need to get to our Travis Bickle moment soon.

As well as these two good Rangers, who I think would help if they could, I think the club needs to stand up & be counted, because the SPFL issue last season wasn’t followed through, for example.
 
I'm sorry but if what alfie did is a red card then pack up the game has gone soft. If you've played the game you know a lot worse goes on between forwards and defenders off the ball
 
At most he would have got a yellow card! Now if he thinks that would be a sending off then Celtic could have atleast 3 players sent off, the player that ran into Morelos at the touchline raising his hands and pushing Morelos to the ground, Scott Brown bump, elbow and hand to Barasic's face and Wean Duffy again similar to the touchline incident but off the ball pushing Morelos down to the ground! Morelos childish, perhaps? What say he on the Celtic players assaults?

I don't know who Noel Whelan is but it did happen and he did take risks that on the day, if caught would have saw him sent off.

No point in hiding from it and pointing fingers elsewhere.

No one is denying Morelos should not have done that although I have seen worse go unpunished.

The double standards is having a clear influence on how refs behave.

I think we all agree Alfie would have been red carded if the ref saw that, the point is would anyone else?

Gerrard has already alluded to this after the tackle on Alfie in the Dundee Utd game.
