Jinky67 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Twitter is going mental with tit for tat with peoples Twitter history being scoured to see what potential ammo they can find. See Natasha Meikle who does a few Celtic podcasts has deleted her Twitter due to using the h word a few times on Twitter 8-10 years ago and being called out by Rangers fans who are tagging her law firm in the tweets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was always going to be the case. I imagine some Record journos probably got busy cleaning their timelines before the story broke as well. Though the journalist who wrote the scoop also wrote a tweet warning people off buying dogs from people with Irish accents? So that’s going exactly as you’d imagine it. Posting a ‘no response from the club’ tweet at 22:30 also looks a bit desperate, but means the UPDATE: on the Record site will have fresh copy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Not real fans standing with the racists One of the worst statements I have had the misfortune of reading. They did to keep it error-free for the first 4 words. Twitter is going mental with tit for tat with peoples Twitter history being scoured to see what potential ammo they can find. See Natasha Meikle who does a few Celtic podcasts has deleted her Twitter due to using the h word a few times on Twitter 8-10 years ago and being called out by Rangers fans who are tagging her law firm in the tweets. The same thing the onion bears have complained about in their horrendously written statements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever_blueco Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) My social media from over a decade ago would be full of some uncomfortable posts not bigotry or anything . Just at one point I was an N-dubz fan . Would rather that stayed in 2009 where it belongs Edited September 3, 2021 by Forever_blueco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is she the solicitor for Burness Paul ? If she is, I’d imagine given their standing in the Commercial Legal sector, they’ll frown upon this. Not sure what I think about people trawling through social media from years ago or others tagging in peoples employers however her employer now has to deal with it. Can’t see it having a happy ending for her career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressball Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) I can’t say I’ve heard the “Romanist” line before, but I wouldn’t find it offensive. I’d just be confused. Edited September 3, 2021 by stressball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) The OF will never remove that element of their support. Never, its too widespread. Ali McCann linked with Celtic and Rangers on deadline day. You Google his name now and these are the "related searches" that other folk have been putting in... How many folk do you think k had to search for the last one for it to get on that list? Edited September 3, 2021 by RandomGuy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, I know she works in employment law ironically Like yourself unsure how I feel about people digging stuff up from a decade ago, it’s similar to the Ollie Robertson racist tweet scenario from when he was a teenager. The tweets are unacceptable however you would hope in that decade people have somewhat matured and educated themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have used her common sense and kept a close eye on her social media or even better deleted it and started a new one free of all her childish rants once she got into her career I would be shocked if law firms didn’t have these guidances in place for their employees Edited September 3, 2021 by Forever_blueco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All companies have policies in place to ensure employees keep their social media usage appropriate. The same policies also cover consequences if they are not adhered to which is why I think she’ll be sacked. The adverse media this type of stuff brings for companies especially in cases like this where it’s a high profile employee is really damaging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I believe, I think her offensive tweets have surfaced on twitter previously and nothing seems to have happened regarding her employment. I imagine it would only be an issue for her employer if a paper runs a story on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post craigkillie Posted September 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2021 David Edgar, the founder of the Podcast. He posted on another forum that this is what the Daily Record had dug up on him, which was partly correct as that is all they attributed to him. I just wasn't aware there were also tweets from other members of the podcast that had been found.Your first mistake was believing him. It's been very obvious to outsiders what he was like - perhaps Rangers fans have been blinded to it, but the podcast's Twitter account has been full of nudge nudge wink wink dogwhistles since I became aware of it, and I'm pretty sure it's Edgar who runs that.The guy is more dangerous than the thick mindless bigots who don't know any better, because he knows exactly what he is doing and has basically leveraged hate for a money grab. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
