[LOL 133]

That's a cracking shirt.

 

[sifter]

What a farce

 

[RangersEasyOK]

What does this achieve ? Bonkers

 

[Govan_Guy]

Crazy. Who will be the first sportsman to stand up to this nonsense and sue the authorities??

 

[FDH21]

Seems like I'm the only one that thinks it's fair. 18 years old, not as if he was a child. If he'd said the comments on a football pitch, would've got 6 games like a few others have had.

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

A huge fine and attend an education course yes, but a ban is ridiculous.

 

[Rod The Prod]

Is that not the guy we were linked with aswell?

 

[Coda]

Absolute fucking lunacy. Beyond sick of this bullshit.

 

[55 and counting]

What did he actually say?

 

[mark hateley]

That's a cracking shirt.

I don't en know the op was on about but that shirt.

 

[murdoch5]

If you nit picked at every single person on the planet you’d probably come across something that’s not “right”

worlds totally lost it .

 

[ALittleBitOfTheBubbly]

Before the faux outrage continues, it's the precedence the FA sent when they banned troy deeney and andre gray.

If it was a daily record journalist, it would be a slightly different story.

 

[CoplandRoad]

What did he post ?

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Waste of everyones time.

Why not just admit a lot of people were wee fannies when they were young and probably regret a lot of stuff they said back then, and let everyone get on with stuff.
Nah, doesn't fulfill the woke divisions quota.
Absolute nonsense.

What did he say?

 

[Big Joke New]

What did he say?

Report says the comments he made were about sexual orientation

Personally I think what way round he likes to do it is his own business

 

[Hurricane Run]

18 at the time of the tweets. Now, aged 27, he is required to complete a face to face education program... really? I mean, really? Hes not grown and matured at all in that period?

Get this shit so far to fcuk. Beyond sick of it. If i had twitter at 18 id be doing a life term by now.

Of course it isn't fair. I'd hate people to judge me based on stupid things I said a decade ago and not on the content of my character now so I treat others the same way.

 

[Supermac1872]

And yet Leigh Griffiths continues to go unpunished.

 

[ALittleBitOfTheBubbly]

And yet Scotland’s man of the year Leigh Griffiths continues to go unpunished.

who's man of the year was he?

Genuinely interested? Got a link?

 

[MrFahrenheit]

Sure we were liked with him at one point

 

[vinnie]

Is this the guy (another one) someone linked us with?

 

[55degreesnorth]

World's gone mad. Anyone late 20s to.mid 30s, remember bebo? They'd need a new wing in every jail in the country if they trawler that.

 

[Wilkinsvolley]

Bringing the game into disrepute. In Scotland a player can openly nonce on his social media and it’ll be ignored. He can then kick a firework into a crown of people while on the pitch and it’ll also be ignored.

 

[weedrew]

What's the world coming to? It's those that imposed the fine and ban that need educated, not him.

 

[Moz]

Report says the comments he made were about sexual orientation

Ah, very few on here will likely care then.

 

[Supermac1872]

Poorly worded sarcasm - edited. The media in this country are always talking him up and portraying him to be unlucky or a victim. After his non apology today a journalist had already tweeted it stating ‘Fair play’.

 

[brain]

More offence archeology.

 

[RobbenHood]

Society has moved on in the last 9 years, just look at what’s deemed acceptable in terms of comedy

To dig things up from a decade ago is embarrassing

 

[Goggs21]

People getting banned for saying bad words all those years ago yet people who sheltered and helped paedophiles in dinosaur Scotland are still roaming the earth

 

[Guerilla]

What does this achieve ? Bonkers

Well it certainly doesn’t create harmony even though they may not say things out loud any more. Almost like it’s actually to create conflict and division

 

[arnietac1]

Ah, very few on here will likely care then.

He was 18 ffs... you never said anything "off" when you were 18?
Someone needs to stand against this "archeological cancel" pish.

Sure, but I'm not really talking about that. Just saying that I see homophobic language floating around this forum on a daily basis.

 

[55timesthechampions]

Absolutely insane.

 

[tottie beck]

This is getting ridiculous. Held accountable for thoughts 9 years ago when he was a teenager. They don't even state what he said, just he's been judged and punished by Cancel Culture.

Can't wait until kids find a new plaything and social media dies

 

[Davie Weir]

It was 9 years ago though, mental to be banned for something that happened so long ago

 

[arnietac1]

you'll see all type of language on here, and on millions more forums sir.
For the vast amount it is like minded folk letting off steam, having a laff and some banter.
Even the more out there stuff isn't real or believed.
It gets us through life and has done since life began.

I told a joke: "what's blue and f.ucks old grannies?"
The punchline was "hypothermia or me in my lucky denim jacket"

Yes it could be classed as bad taste but ffs i do not actually go around in a denim jacket f.ucking grannies.

Cancel culture is a stain on society.

p.s. i have more stylish jackets for the older crowd...

Admin - I propose a “ send love “ feature on follow follow !!

 

[TheIbroxonian]

Lucky for him that we didn't sign him. SFA would ban him for as long as his contract was with us

 

[Sensiblesteve]

I’ll bet good money James McLean’s social media is worth looking at if they’re going back 9 years

Yep your the only one

Luckily there is nothing left of bebo

If you’re looking for something you will find it. Most people are just happy having a bit of a laugh/ banter ffs.

I don't go looking for anything. Maybe daily basis is a bit of an exaggeration but you do see it a lot. Post #4 on the semi final draw for example.

 

[shug1971]

Ah, very few on here will likely care then.

Very few give a flying #### man. Grow up ffs stop trying to be offended it’s just really tiresome

Honestly mate it’s not something I think about these days. Live and let live is a 2 way street

Seems you're offended by the people on this thread having a different opinion given those are the only posts you've replied to.

They still collude in their silence, mate.

Not at all. Just those are the posts that I find a wee bit silly. Not offended by anything tbh. Each to their own
