It would seem that the actions of our esteemed goalkeeper has stirred up the hearts of the Scottish media once again. In a loving and warm gesture to the rangers fans at last weeks old firm, the holy goalie once again showed his affection for the rangers fans.
Ok fair enough, he probably shouldn't have done it, because he has a certain expectation and the Glasgow Celtic reputation to uphold. However, when I watch football sometimes I'm left in total amazement at just how the players manage to keep their cool. These guys are verbally abused every week with the most vile venom that would make even the thickest skinned peoples skin crawl. If any player reacts to this, he is condemned to hell by the media etc....
Imagine this type of thing happening on our streets? I can just see it now, there would murder on a grand scale. These people must be stopped before our game descends into just a puss filled cauldron of hate - some would say that we are already there. I would agree to some extent, but I don't think we've hit rock bottom yet.
Don't get me wrong, there's a place for intimidation and noising up players, but there needs to be a line. When people start crossing it, it needs to be dealt with. Perhaps the stewards and cops need to grow a set and start apprehending these idiots.
Its people like this that stop more families from going to the games. we should adapt the American model of footbal/baseball. These games are family occasions, we should follow suit. I reckon if this was done, we'd have a better product onfield and maybe increase turstile revenues for the clubs.
