RostokMcSpoons Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 In other news... The bold Cedric getting in to the team of the week... I've also managed to watch Wee Al playing for Luton a couple of times on telly. Maybe it's how / where he was being played, but he barely seemed to get a touch on the ball... not the presence he was last season. Still, he didn't get subbed, suggests he's at least doing what the gaffer wants in denying space or whatever it is (that doesn't involve the actual football) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allroy for Prez Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 You seem like a laugh. He probably blurted a word out whilst pished and upset. Hardly a sustained attack on any particular group of society. Sit doon. Craigkillie seems like the type of person who thinks people who believe men can’t have babies should lose their jobs etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I pointed out, not in common for cops to add “racist/homophobic slur” to a wrap sheet, it’s your word against them. Not as if he said it on camera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santheman Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Sounds like some on here have never been at a Juniors(sorry now WOSL/EOSL) game. Homophobic sexist racist language and that's all in the one sentence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Kirk Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 4 hours ago, craigkillie said: I'm not "comparing" in the sense of suggesting they were equivalent. I'm comparing in the sense that both are footballers who were involved in discriminatory behaviour away from their jobs, and both stories have come out recently. If I hadn't mentioned Lafferty someone would have inevitably lashed out with some whataboutery (as though I was somehow responsible for Lafferty's behaviour, which I've already condemned), so I thought it was worth doing. I missed that he'd pled guilty to the homophobia, seems like an open and shut case for the SFA in that scenario. In terms of the different lengths of bans, that's fair enough if they want to do that (though players still get a 2 match ban for violent conduct whether they kick someone in the leg or punch them full force in the face, even though one is clearly worse than the other). However, it's hard to see how Slattery can avoid punishment here in the context that stuff away from the pitch is clearly fair game for punishment (rightly or wrongly). None of that was the purpose of my posting though, the point was that I was disappointed to see fans on here (and especially on Twitter in the replies/quote tweets to that STV article) excusing or ignoring his homophobia. I watched the Lafferty vid and he was basically set up by a couple of of wideos with a phone and he reacted. His choice of words was very poor but a lengthy ban for me is not proportionate. A fine and a diversity course would be more fitting. If Slattery is found guilty of a homophobic slur then I think the same. The idea that these guys should automatically face a lengthy footballing ban is virtue signalling nonsense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsybaba Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Knowing everyone involved barring Slattery let me cast some light. Slattery came into an area where he didn't know anyone accompanied by another Motherwell player. He made a total twat of himself but was removed without any real harm barring his pride. His anger them came out to the cops hence the charges. Talking to everyone that night he was a pest but no worse than that and no worse than 100 other guys in the Merchant City that weekend. Guesswork on everyones behalf thought he was a two can dan that wasn't used to drinking. That's what happened make of it as you will. I gave some enlightment on SteelmenOnline, when everyone bewildered said that Alexander and Slatts had fallen out. My thoughts, done & dealt with, he would be a mug to make the same mistake again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why you keep banging on about the police. There's a lot of posts on this thread saying he gets a pass for being drunk or it's understandable with the circumstances. Personally I don't think it's an excuse but a few here clearly do. Fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it would be a different story if he wasn't one of their better players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
