SPR has posted the most sensible comment on this article with regards to his pal, I believe it's as simple as that.
==============================

I’d hope it’s as simple as that. He still needs carpeting

What started as a fairly reasonable thread and been treated as by fans of both sides once again deteriorates into this sheite.

I wonder why.

So are we going to see this dossier??? Or has it all been a pile of schite to distract from the schite that was on the park?
--------------------------------------------------------------

Out of interest - do you think this is a reasonable comment Ginger?

Of course in the grand scheme of things it isn't particularly offensive.

But it is hardly promoting balanced adult conversation, is it?

Both sides sling mud about. Some mud just stinks a bit more than others.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's inflammatory I'll give you that and were it on the other foot I might jump in. Call it scarfy

To be honest I'd expect the same from any bear if again it were on the other foot.

As the OP says, time will tell.

"Probably need some new specs if you think none of your fellow Celtic fans attempted to minimize the seriousness of it and deflect on to journalists.

As for Rangers statements, i also think it's a load of schite, they will have no strong evidence. Then again i don't feel the need to defend my club from every single thing no matter what it is. Sometimes and in cases like this criticism is earned, it was just sad that there was deflection when there was no need for it to be as you say wherever they are they need called out.

If only everyone would take that on."

I don't think anyone is dismissing the seriousness of it at all but to start with; what on earth is meant by it being serious? Just how serious is this?

To me, it looks silly and ill advised at worst although I acknowledge that he should be carpeted and questioned to make sure that is indeed the case. Nearly everyone acknowledges making equally silly remarks in their past.

As for journalists capitalising on it, do you think some young bloke on the street who wasn't an OF footballer would be given the headline space? Of course they wouldn't.

Nobody is defending the club here although the club have done nothing wrong. I'm just glad my club isn't making any statements and are indeed retaining a dignified silence.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there a dignified silence with these issues?

I don't believe that it exists, they have to make a statement about it or it seems as though they aren't learning from past mistakes.

A spokesperson for Celtic, where Okoflex is yet to make a first team appearance, said: "The matter will be investigated and the appropriate action will be taken."

He will be dealt with

It's a bloody toxic goldfish bowl, I tell ye.

A bhoy farts in Royston, and right away a bear in Lanark phones Radio Clyde and says Celtic destroy O zone over Scotland.

I blame Lennon.

Sorry, what was the question again?

They’re not. They’ve already said "The matter will be investigated and the appropriate action will be taken."

to be clear, I am not defending oko flex here, nor am I rushing to hang him either.

I don't see how it effects celtic other than he plays for the club, I hate that a football club can be blamed for the actions of individuals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So, friends in a private gathering making lewd remarks about members of a girl band who are all above the age of consent is the same as a guy making lewd comments about an 8 year old girl live on the Internet!! And you think it is as simple as that and you are not defending him!! I really worry about people who have this sort of mindset!!

POV will be on right away to accuse you of stirring things up because you have not been on in awhile!!

If there's nothing more than the face of it is one daft and unacceptable comment then it should be public rebuke. Fine a few weeks wages. Apology. Some safeguarding training courses.

We really need to get away from trying to end people's lives and careers for one missjudged moment.

If there is more to it, eg private comments/DM/pm or whatever they call them then it's a matter for the police.

That's really all there should be to say on it.

I never said it was unreasonable nor did I say I disagreed with it.

It is formed as questions. You cant really disagree with a question.

As a post made up of questions though just thought it was a bit childish and dumb to be honest. Puerile bear baiting at best.

Point was though both sides sling their fair share of keech and contribute to the tone of an article heading south.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Agreed apart from the public rebuke bit

It should be dealt with between employer and employee as in any other case.

In so saying he should offer an apology and that he meant no harm. I have a sneaking suspicion that will end up in the public domain in any event.

Unless of course there is something more sinister.

I'm somewhat surprised by the length and intensity of the discussion on this okoflex situation.

It was a stupid and inappropriate comment but I don't think it was anything more than that.

posted on 27/4/20

It's stupid for him to say it as he has enough of a profile that this became news but I've made worse taste jokes.

Agree if he makes a public apology himself nothing else needed
