She's not made the gesture to anyone, she's talking to her pal - they could even be having a conversation about what happened to him previously and she could be saying "The Rangers fans on the bus did this gesture" or whatever. Definitely worth investigating, but I'm uncomfortable with picking out incidents like this with absolutely no context where a person is just sitting in the stand doing something. Fair point. Give her a chance to explain herself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudge1903 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Nothing will happen due to what's obviously going on in background. Can't see the soundtrack being played or videos of the majority of Celtic fans to point out one old wifie in foreground from a bad angle whose lawyer will infer itchy/teary eyes or something else whether true or not. You all "think" she's racist with a large volume of probability but you all "know" what the away fans done and sung and that's not up for debate and will be left to fester again. She'd may apologise for her behaviour even if she doesn't mean it, do you think the away fans will? Or be backed up by their club, national press and national media? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Reese Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Aberdeen fan though, to be fair. She'd probably just heard Aneka, The vapors and Alphaville for the first time on her transistor wireless. Maybe just caught up in the craze. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Pittodrie. One pair rose-tinted lenses, one pair opaque glass. @craigkillie nailed it as a sensible response to the real issue. Due process and appropriate action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it needs investigated then appropriately dealt with Aye, you're right. When the videos of Rangers fans racially abusing Kyogo surfaced the club suggested the footage was modified (wait, they never, they banned both individuals identified and removed the supporters bus ticket privileges) and the media swept it under the carpet (they never, it was headline news for an extended period). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not really comparing the incidents though, I’m more contesting the assumption that it would get swept under the carpet if it were Rangers fans. The unfortunate commonality is that the same player appears to have suffered racial abuse - but I’m not trying to equate the Aberdeen fans actions with the Rangers fans actions, if that’s what you mean.

Have all your home games in the league this season not been 10k+ (save the opening day where restrictions were still in place)? Seems weird that both fixtures are Saturday 3pm kick offs yet: Quote "Around 65% of season ticket members are predicted at these games. This is largely due to those not ready to come back and those choosing instead to use their Virtual Season Ticket. Even with sufficient matchday tickets available and an 800 allocation for away support, as well as the game being shown live in the UK on a PPV basis, the expected crowd will be under the 10,000 threshold and therefore not subject to the proof of vaccine scheme." It's a pretty significant drop off from say 13k vs St Johnstone to sub 10k against Hibs and Hearts.
