It was not my intention to cause any offence or upset. I abhor racism, sectarianism and all forms of bigotry. 2:06 PM · Aug 24, 2021 I'm not sure Keevins even realises what his f**k up is judging by that apology. I don't think anyone would construe what he said was of him condoning racism, sectarianism or any form of bigotry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fans who sing about his sisters pants should be banned the same as the ones who racially abused a Celtic player? IMHO he's trying to appeal to the staunch hoards of eejits that follow a certain club, as he always is. Christ, he's the captain at a Premiership club and he was saying the other week Rangers and Celtic should get more of the prize money, to the disadvantage of his own team Best left ignored. Forgot he’s actually the captain. It should be really be stipulated that you stay from from the media (other than club duties) if you’re taking it. Especially if you are a thick orc but then it’s really questionable if you should be having it in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a great look for the club though if he is the figurehead of the team and he seems to be churning out whoppers on a weekly basis. Personally if it was my club I would rather the captain focus on club duties. Although perhaps the captaincy isn’t quite held in the regard as it used to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the general point here, but I don't see how media work distracts from club duties. It's perfectly possible to fulfill your role in your job and do something else on the side. Some players play golf, some have fashion labels, whatever. It's not like the role of club captain is being neglected by him doing something else with his evenings. Active players doing punditry isn't for me though. Some Hearts people have done it and still do it, but I see no benefit to it whatsoever. Players can do columns about their experience or do interviews about their experience, but they should never be openly commenting on another club. It just benefits nobody. 14 minutes ago, CCB19035 said: It's up to the individual, he obviously fancies a media career when he retires.

But it's astonishing to me that this lad believes he's cut out for this and is being encouraged in it by other people. Quite unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such is the old firm rot that plagues the nations beloved sport. That's actually pretty normal. I know various English people who have a big team and a wee team. I've got a Polish mate who supports Legia Warsaw and his local lower division team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Quite mad that people are getting their knickers in a twist - excuse the pun - about Charlie Adam's comments. Racism and the chants from the terracing aimed at his family are both forms of personal abuse from the terraces that none of these fuckwits would dare say to someone's face. I've already seen comments that racism is abhorrent but the abuse aimed at Adam are just a laugh. Put yourself in the shoes of the individuals on the receiving end of the abuse and ask yourself if one is worse than the other. On the subject of Adam's allegiances, I can confirm that he is definitely a Dundee fan. I've seen him at Dundee games on his own and sat with him for 90 minutes at Firhill. The "big team" stuff is just something that people here have made up in their heads without any substance whatsover, based on the fact that he started his career at Rangers - a particularly weak argument. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 As alluded to earlier, I don't listen to the channel at all. However, it seems Charlie Adam has not taken notice of Twain...

Dons_1988 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 The problem with what Adam said is that I don’t remember him saying anything directly about the kyogo issue and just fired straight into comments about his sister. Definitely created a perception that he was changing the goalposts from a discussion about racism in football to a wider discussion about abuse at games so he could talk about what upsets him personally, which was a bit off really. I didn’t see a particular rangers defence angle from what he said though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 There was absolutely nothing wrong with Charlie Adam's comments. He was absolutely spot on in calling out fans that sing a vile song that is abusive to his family and indeed, Hibs fans chanting that Jason Cummings is a paedophile is scumbag material too. The issue was his timing of it. Not the brightest move to bring it up instantly as they bring up Kyogo being racially abused. Charlie Adam having over 300 comments to his twitter post many of which are just pure abuse and calling him all sorts from bigot to stuff that isn't worth mentioning again is just wild though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
