Sellik players in Sectarian shocker !

MacPhail

A video clip is currently being circulated to the Media in Scotland which clearly shows John Hartson & Stephen Pearson of well known Irish Club Glasgow Celtic singing "folk" songs in a bar with some of the Celtic supporters. Both players appear to chant "IRA" and "Sinn Fein" during the performance.

Prescedent was set for this type of thing when Donald Findlay QC had to resign as Director of Rangers after being filmed singing "The Sash ..." at a private function some years ago.

Gonna be hard for Sellik to explain this one away as "just the craic" ..... Laughing

Pearson is already in his way out isn't he? I'd bet that Hartson's availability would interest a lot of Premiership clubs though if Sutton leaves it might be interesting.

I've seen the video and agree that both players should be banned as the quality of their singing is unbelievably appalling! Shocked

For those of you who wish to view this, earplugs are essential.

Is there a Rangers version of "Chicken Supper" anywhere?

Hartson's second left and Pearson far right for those still confused. Wink

Still photos show both players quite clearly although it's obvious to anyone who knows Scottish Football who they are from the video ....

To be fair, Hartson has the appearance of someone who really would be elsewhere.

Aren't songs like that actually illegal to sing now?

Well the story HAS broken in the media up here and guess who ran with it ?

The BBC ? Nope.

The Daily Retard ? Nope.

Radio Clyde ? Yeah right ..... Rolling Eyes

Penry the mild mannered janitor ? Could be ......

Nope ..... actually it was The ABERDEEN PRESS & JOURNAL who were the one media outlet prepared to stand up to Celtic's bully-boy tactics (threats to withdraw advertising/journalists access to players etc are routine stuff for the Parkhead PR department) and run the story.

They helpfully pointed out that the two players in question were part of the (very well publicised Rolling Eyes

) "Bhoys Against Bigotry" campaign launched by Celtic a while back but, obviously watching their backs, said it was the SUPPORTERS chanting "IRA" not the players. (Pearson quite clearly chants "IRA" even cupping his hand to his mouth to accentuate it !)

Wonder now if the media at large (and they ALL have the images) will have the balls to follow this one up ...

It really doesn't surprise me MacPhail. Having lived in NI, I have noticed that the media is less interested in people behaving badly whislt wearing a tricolour than they are in those behaving badly whislt wearing the union flag.

Sign of the times.

My work colleague always said 'Scotland is NI without the bullets'.
Nice to see media suppression in action.

Just to update any of you interested (and Phil ! Wink

) .... Sellik's spin machine is working overtime and have now suggested they're having the video analysed as they believe it may have been doctored and the sound added later ! Laughing

What they're REALLY worried about is that this was a function in honour of Jackie McNamara's testimonial and Celtic Chairman Brian Quinn was in attendance.

The "spin" would appear to be that pro-IRA chanting would NEVER go on at a Celtic supporters function and it's all a plot by those big, nasty Proddies to get at their poor little downtrodden Club. Laughing

Imagine ....... IRA chanting at a Celtic Supporters do ! Shocked

Remember, this is the Club who have never hidden their "Irishness" and indeed have a tricolor flying over the ground; who provided funds for a huge supporters flag, in honour of Jock Stein, to be painted by a convicted IRA member better known for his pro-Republican wall murals in Belfast; who allowed a pro-Republican/IRA band ("The Wolfetones") to film a video for one of their songs AT PARKHEAD; who only the other week were described by former SCOTLAND captain Billy McNeill as being "An Irish Club playing in The Scottish League" (he was proud of it too ! ) etc etc .....

The BBC still appear unaware of the incident Rolling Eyes

but are being bombarded with complaints from Rangers fans over their refusal to run the story despite everyone else having now acknowledged it - there have to be questions asked about BBC impartiality on this one and not it has to be said for the first time either !

As ever, Sellik are playing the "opressed minority" card as they always do in these situations but I reckon this time the evidence is a little too obvious to anyone who's watched it for them to try and lie their way out of this one ......

Good post MacPhail.

What a shoddy performance by Celtic this is. Poor Roy eh.

The Tims are going ballistic on the 606 forum, with lots of "Strachan must go" postings.

They're blaming him for Agathe and Sutton going and for how badly they've been playing.

Clyde's second goal was a real cracker, but they also had 2 goals disallowed and missed a penalty! Shocked

Watched the game as there was nothing else on, and Clyde totally outplayed the tims from start to finish! Scoreline flattered Celtic!
