banana Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 The year is 2025. Tackles have been banned, stadia are required to have all seating with seatbelts, there's a minute silence at the start and end of each half, and goals of the month and year come from a selection of half time comedy/charity goals. But things have never been better with Scottish football, the bevvies are freely available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepheid Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Why didn't they give him his own little goal of the month award? not a dig btw but if he didn't win there wouldn't have been a uproar and the fans of every other club bar celtic would have been called heartless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'd be curious to see if there was as much resentment if the kid was a Hamilton fan. I hate Celtic as much as the next guy, but there does seem to be an element of it here. I can't say I'm bothered either way as I hardly gave a toss for any of the previous goal of the month goals. It's a nice touch what they've done and fair play. Fin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairgowriedee Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Call me a cynical man, but i have guffawed at some the comments on here, some of you deserve to be on the stage(the funny comments btw). FWIW i reckon a one off award wont kill scottish football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Some of the comments here have been outright disgraceful. Obviously the right goal won in the end, and the bitterness of the people saying otherwise simply can't be masked here. Grow the f**k up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeeel Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Great moment for the wee man. Well played to all involved, just gave the young lad something he'll never forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I think people are reading too much into this, it was a nice gesture for the lad by Accies/Celtic/SPFL and he had a great day and will have great memories of it and it doesn't do our game any harm to have some good PR on the news from it. Yes if you start picking faults you will find them, why does this lad get it ahead of other kids disabled or not, is it positive discrimination?, is it patronising? Are Celtic/Accies/SPFL wrong for getting PR? Just see it for what it was a one off day for a young lad with DS that people involved have tried to make special for him.

Urban Gorilla Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 It's tokenistic crap of the worst kind. This is a poor comment. Tbf it seems it's only Dundee and Thistle fans that have a problem with this. Obviously all those years winning hee-haw have turned them into into bitter killjoys.

~~~ Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Highlight a disgraceful comment please.

Deefiant Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 A disgraceful comment from someone pro this decision. Well this isn't working out well. You will not find any "disgraceful" comments from people questioning the decision. Just well articulated opinions. Something sorely lacking from those who say it's a good decision.

This entire thread has been a bit of a joke. Even now while your team is playing you're on here moaning about it. If it wasn't a Celtic fan, I highly doubt this would have generated so much attention and seethe. It is pretty disgraceful that you're suggesting that Celtic are somehow using the boy for a PR campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Celtic fans? Paranoid? Clearly, Besides it's not as if Deefiant hasn't had seethe induced breakdown before regarding Celtic. Short opinion - bit of a joke and de-values the competition. Would a fan of a provincial team in the same position get this coverage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously all those years winning hee-haw have turned them into into bitter killjoys. Of course it's tokenistic - let's give ourselves a pat on the back for giving a disabled kid a prize then blythly ignore the disabled the rest of the year. I have exactly the same attitude to platitudes given by the likes of the Variety Club of Great Britain or the Daily Mirror's annual cringefest that is their Pride of Britain Awards.
