The usual suspects roll out the excuses for the vile conspiracy theorist Tom Boyd

The point they’re both missing - Boyd is An Official Celtic Ambassador, not some random ex-pro with a mic. When he speaks, he speaks for Celtic Football Club. If they back his statements then they are, in effect, accusing Scottish football of being corrupt. If this isn’t bringing the game into disrepute, then what is?
 
The filth are going to be unbearable this season. This is all just a part of their sinister intimidation campaign that has resulted in referees being terrified of giving anything against them. Boyd's comments weren't made in a pub or a supporters bus, they were made on the club's official TV channel and he should be removed from his role.
 
Boyd is a fud, we all know that. But I really don’t get what a citing from the CO can possibly achieve? What powers does she have, to ban him from commentating on Celtic TV? Who honestly cares apart from other shettlestons who are all a bit mental anyway.
Think it has already been mention that he is an official club ambassador.as another poster pointed out unless Celtic pull Boyd up then they agree with his point.
Another thing is that beaton received death threats from Celtic fans and his kids had to get a police escort to school.boyds comments considering what happened to beaton are crass and stupid.
 
Beaton should insist on a retraction and a public apology from Boyd

Boyd has put Beaton at risk with his accusations and it wasn’t only one flippant comment. There were several made that Beaton was biased against the mentally challengeds

SFA will need to back the refs or we will have even more chaos if they strike again

Maybe we will have enough savvy to blame them this time unlike the last referee strike that was never pinned on Nonce F.C.

This for me.

This 100%

If excuses are being rolled out for Boyd and he made "a mistake" then he should be apologising to Beaton publicly.

If he is stupid enough to not realise the impact his comments will have then he should not be on TV at all.

You can add sinister to your list.
 
Beaton will end up getting a doing in the street off some rabid mentally challenged and it will be directly because of the storm created over him by the likes of Boyd.
The thing is, they want him to cheat in their favour. They ain't interested in fairness. They will hound him until he starts pointing to the spot every time they howl at him. That's the end game.

He knew the potential implication of these comments Dave, but he is willing for there to be victims if need be to ensure their ‘19th Century Terrorist army’ is successful. That’s a sad reality in my opinion.
 
Neil Cameron really is an absolute imbecile, isn't he?

First he trots out the old "Rangers = new club" line which has been disproved by UEFA, the SFA and anyone else with even a passing interest in Scottish Football who is not rabidly pro-Celtic.

Then he mentions, almost in passing, the threats made to referees including Beaton. Who is responsible for that? celtic, and their odious support. Look at the OF match last December, the media outcry at certain decisions which for once were not given to celtic and the reaction of their fanbase as a result. The media trigger the hate and the entitled mob-rule mentality of the celtic support does the rest.

Unless of course, they were all the actions of that single fan "Juan Guy". We've all heard that one before.

It is no coincidence that the referees strike was triggered by decisions going against celtic, that referees have been forced to publicly apologise for getting decisions wrong (but only when they go against celtic) and that referees are threatened and abused if they so much as give a free kick against them. Hugh Dallas struck by coins, referees strike, Beaton threatened. All from the followers of one club and one club only and goaded on by a moronic media.

There is an obvious and direct link between the outcry from the media when things go against celtic and the over-the-top actions of their support. That's why Boyd's comments matter, even if he is a moron. It is also different from the usual braindead bitter vitriol from the likes of Fatson and the goat-blower because they are not employed by a club. Boyd was speaking on celtic tv and as such was representing the club.

Unless of course, celtic tv is a separate entity. We've all heard that one before.

The club have not distanced themselves from his views so one must conclude that they are in line with official celtic fc thinking (or at least what passes for thinking in that moral vacuum). In this sense, Boyd is no different from TLB when he accuses an official of bias or cheating. He's a representative of the club and a such must be bound by the same rules which are in place, like them or not, for everyone else.

Unless of course, there's one rule for celtic and another for everyone else. We've all seen that one before.
 
We are told by the snp that our cultural songs could incite people to violence.

Given Beaton has already required a police escort due to death threats because mentally challengeds think he’s a cheating mason, are Boyds comments not potentially incitement to further threats and potentially violence?

This is surely just going by the 19th Century Terrorists own victim mentality logic.
 
I’ll go out on a limb and suggest that this isn’t the first time he has come away with such drivel,just the first time it has been picked up.

I watched the cluj game out of interest when I seen they were 1-0 down and not sure who their commentator is but he was just as bad as Boyd. every decision the ref gave against them was automatically 'strange' or 'mystifying'

The end of this game was particularly glorious when they quipped something along the lines of 'if there is anything less than 4 minutes added on then questions have to be asked' 6 minutes goes up 'good'. The next 6 minutes was golden, and to top it off after the final whistle 'lets go to the studio with Gerry Mculloch & Tom Boyd' :))
 
If Hugh Burns (for example) said similar on Rangers TV he would get crucified for it
Agreed.
One of the good things about RTV and its commentary is ive never heard anyone ever say what cunty bollox did, yes ive heard them say maybe a decision is harsh or not correct but theres always a little bit of humour in our commentary teams and ive never ever heard them say anything anywhere near as venomous as boyd has,
and that is what makes us a class above everything celtic!, fans, players, ex players, ambassadors and boardroom, every aspect of Rangers from fans to boardroom is class personified, that shower wouldn't know class if it bit them whilst dressed as a priest! jakey bastards the lot of them!

Given that, then surely he and the club should be taken to task over his appearance in that comedy film "Anyone But Celtic"!
 
Given Tom Boyd has previosly called for "neutral" referees then this can't be dismissed as a one off error or caught up in the heat of the moment.

He is pushing the club agenda at every opportunity.

A coincidence he says this the same day it's revealed that Celtc have paid compensation to one of McCafferty's victim which has buried that story?

Thomas?

Thomas?!
 
We should see what the outcome of this is, then get someone in rtv to say something almost identical and see what happens.

Would be interesting
If nothing happens, it’s open season and carte blanche will have been given for anyone on RTV to call the Shettlestons out on anything football related.
 
All of Scottish football is laughing at them and laughing at Boyd - I'm happy for them to make a total arse of themselves.

I'm not. When the official ambassador of a club accuses match officials of cheating on an official club TV station, then that club must be severely punished. When that same club support him in his comments, then a very sinister scenario is evolving. Boyd was not making an arse of himself, Boyd was obeying orders.
Threats and intimidation of officials are very much an integral part of CFC's tactics, mainly to be rolled out when they get a few dodgy results (eg Dec 2018, Dougiegate, Dallas, referees strike etc.)
They must be hammered for this, preferably by the media, but we all know that is a sick joke. Instead excuses are made, we are dragged into it (Neil Cameron, saying our two biggest clubs - what the fuck have Rangers got to do with Boyd?).
Meanwhile officials and their families cower in fear, give them everything going and Liewell rubs his hands and smirks 'well done, Tommy Bhoy'
It has happened before, numerous times.
