Surely he gets called much worse every week - often by his own fans. This weekend showed once again that supporters increasingly consider nothing about a player off bounds when it comes to shouting abuse. And fans visiting the citadel of bonhomie that is Celtic Park will be fully aware of the extent of the vocabulary Celtic fans can turn on when faced with the supporters of 'wee teams.'
So why the fuss? Was it because this was a fan who had paid good money? That's a bit naive, my experience of football hospitality is that the fans are better dressed but equally boorish.
Was it because this was a solitary fan? In which case is Gordon condoning the gang mentality that can see thousands shouting abuse at players and managers? And will Hearts look to take action against whole sections of their support the next time they call a referee an arsehole or, God forbid, worse?
Was it because it was after the game? I'd say that would be a bit unrealistic of Gordon. Emotions run high, and are unlikely to have simmered down completely only half an hour after the final whistle.
Of course maybe Gordon was just annoyed because he doesn't think he's an arsehole. Surely a subject where objectivity is impossible?
It all seems a bit of a storm in teacup to me, another in a long week of them. Another example of how Gordon's never been entirely comfortable in the crazy world that is life as an Old Firm manager.

More moaning from the ginger whinger. Every time he goes on about stuff like this he just sound like, well like an arsehole really.
ReplyDeleteAll a bit odd considering that he was so comfortable with the abuse coming from behind his dugout during the match that he actually felt the need to respond in kind, and with equally naughty words. Perhaps his sense of humour only lasts for 90 minutes at a time....
ReplyDeleteCulprit identified and sentenced to a 12 match ban. Given the general rubbishness of Hearts at the moment, some might say that's a blessing in disguise.
