Athiest

I think you live in a Utopian world where everyone agrees on everything. There is a large section who would find both inflammatory. He was cautioned by the police for blessing himself and swearing at the Rangers fans because the police thought it was done to provoke the fans. Which it was. You didn't answer the question, the answer is the police want the players and managers to act responsibly something Bourc and Lennon never seem to do. Don't defend the indefensible. Whether you want it to be offensive or not doesn't matter it was done to offend.

On the issue of Atheist saying the 'god bless the pope t-shirt' wasn't inflammatory I've got to ask Ed, do you agree? I know we are a bit off subject hear, the point being that display of something on a shirt was done to wind people up. I don't believe congratulating William and Kate on their wedding is done to wind people up. Any opinions other than Atheist would be interesting.

GovanFR {Ed001's Note - as a neutral I don't like either t-shirt personally. But, on the other hand, anyone who is seriously offended by either of them needs to grow up a bit and probably shouldn't be allowed out on their own anyway.}

Why would Gers spend £1 million on Murphy at Birmingham.When his contract is up in the summer?Be happy with him mind you.He did well for Hibs.But Eck might want to keep him.He has not offered new deals yet to his players.He will at the end of the year though.When he gets to see what kind of cash that he has to play with.When he tries to win the Ueafa cup.And do better like he did in his first year in the EPL.

GovanFR. The question of whether Boruc was right or wrong to display his feelings is irrelevant. My question was why you would think it was inflammatory. In any event, if Rangers constant defence (that it is a minority that would be so inflammed) is true, I would expect the decent majority would point offenders out to stewards/ police to ensure public order.

Your ridiculous arguement is just one reason why I am proud to be an atheist.

Atheist

It is inflammatory because he did it specifically to wind people up. Whether we agree with these people or not does not change that fact. I am not religious so all it did for me was to make Boruc look like a fool. A question for you, do you think the police would be happy to see Celtic players wearing tops like that at OF games? yes or no.

It just seems like the media just jump on every tiny thing at the moment, if someone wants to wish someone a happy day, so what. Some of these rules are bloody ridiculous.

Bougie82, mate ah was watchin the Celtic game the day and commons does look like an easter egg with feet. Heckin brilliant! !

C-Bear, davie wiers shirt didn't bother me, i was just flicking through websites and was reporting what i read, it would be stupid if anything came of it if you ask me. . no need. Im more worried about why the managment and even Davie himself never knew about it. .anyhoo its much ado about nothing. . good win for the bhoys today. .

GovanFR said "Does anyone remember Boruc wearing a t-shirt saying 'God Bless the Pope' in an OF game? This was inflammatory. ."

Inflammatory? Why?

I think The Duke of Cambridge would be happier if the Rangers captain wore a shirt with a message stating that all taxes due to his Granny's Revenue and Customs were now paid in full.

Re: Brogie 82 , are you havin a bubble , lets examine the evidence , what about Broadfoot (ugliest player since a certain Davie Dodds) , Bougherra (fat , ugly , cockeyed) , Fleck (dead ringer for uncle Robert) , Lafferty (enough said) , all righty , while i'm here , got to say looks like yous have unearthed a "gem" in Kerkar he he , hopes yous sign Berra as well , describing him as "pish poor" would be a compliment .

Back to the Player of the year stuff. Hooper is just a Boyd that doesn't score as much. Naismith has added goals and his creativity has been fantastic this season, he works extremely hard tracking back and, for me, has been the most deserving after Izaguirre. McGregor could have been in there but I think the reason he isn't is because he is so consistently good that people have come to expect the standards he produces week in week out.

PS. Anyone notice Connor Sammon was in team of the year and yet Miller wasn't, how does this work?

In what way was daivd weirs shirt political or religious?? If he had a message wishin his daughter a happy day would that get him in trouble?? Na. . ur post there was a load of sh*te. I do agree with u about mcgregor, how he was never nominated I will never know. If it wernt for him celtic would have won the title by now. He produced a cppl of saves yesterday again.

C-bear85 {Ed001's Note - it doesn't matter mate, personal messages are also not allowed unless the authorities are informed beforehand. Apparently footballers are not allowed to have beliefs, ideals or personalities while on the pitch in case they influence people watching into also having their own beliefs, ideals and personalities......}
