Jim White has been trying to push the Celtic board into banning the Green Brigade.
The former STV and Sky Sports anchorman spends his mornings on TalkSPORT trawling through social media for anything topical or something to be outraged about.
Celtic, the Green Brigade and Palestine ticked both of those boxes to make for plenty of chat on his morning show.
White barely states an opinion on anything although his cheerleading of Graeme Souness and party outfit with Mark Walters during his STV days confirmed that the former Kelvinside Academy pupil was far from the neutral that he goes at length to create.
The prospect of giving Celtic a kicking on air is too much of an open goal for White to pass up on with the Daily Record tuned in this morning as White got the soundbites he required out of Simon Jordan:
He said: “Football and sport opened this door. It decided which causes it thought were valuable, it decided which causes it thought people should be supportive of. Of course, for very legitimate reasons football wants to abstain from this one – and I understand why. Because there are very strong views and feelings on both sides, and it is a very complicated and dangerous subject to get involved with.
“UEFA are just as bad. They start the process of what people are meant to do. But we have done this now. It is a very vocal and vociferous fan base, the Green Brigade are an interesting gang and have their views – so they are going to double down on it.
“But they don’t have a right or an entitlement to do it at a football game. Yes, if they want to hang Palestine flags from their windows they can do it all day from their own space – they don’t have a God given right to do it inside a football stadium.”
Pressed by Jim White on what Celtic should do in response following their statement, Jordan said: “What can they do? Well, ok, if they mean it here it is then. Shut it down. Football wants to get involved with things and wants to make statements. If Celtic mean it – that they don’t want the fans waving their (Palestine) flags – then shut that section of the stadium down. But they won’t do that. You asked what they are going to do about it, well they aren’t going to be able to stop it – so shut up. That is the end of the discussion.”
The issues of the Green Brigade and Palestine are an internal matter for Celtic, White and Jordan have no interest in Scottish football beyond trying to whip up a reaction from their largely gammon listeners.
And I wonder what the openly biased Jordan would have said if it had been
Israel flags flying at Parkhead instead….?
Jim Whyte is just an irrelevant tw@t.
Every time I see that Jordans face with they big stupid specs on talking nonsense about our game I just think
‘ You again , oh just f*ck off you c*nt ‘
Jim Whyte reminds me of the old QEII himself- Hugh Keevins …. absolutely irrelevant and both ‘never have been’s!’ In their own little worlds , these 2 have led the line for the low bar standard and quality of alleged journalism in wee Scotland. If you need the proof , well ,one worked at STV ,while the other is a current scoop at the massively under selling daily Record .
TalkSPORT is a channel that I’ve never watched and clearly never will…
Regarding the picture… Jeez oh indeed –
If any picture told a story of truth and outrageous lies – then that is surely it…
The Truth – The face of Jim White a true Celtic hater caught in action as we celebrate a goal…
The Lies (and outrageous lies at that) – The Daily Record self proclaiming itself as Scotland’s Champion – Dearie Dearie Me…
I see they also have that wee Bear motif as well that Sevco and the deceased Rangers sometimes use / used –
They didn’t clearly hid it then and certainly by reports on here and elsewhere they certainly don’t hide it now!
Bear motif? You mean the Lion Rampant? Looks nowt like a bear and fk the huns for using it, those England-loving bassas should have three lying down like their heroes.
Certain Lions were rampant in Scottish and European Football Seppington…
The Lisbon Lions !!!!!!
The Rampant Lions !
Jim Who? He’s on Talkwhat? Never heard of either.
To be fair (vomits) to Jim “Why are you so good?” Whyte, according to the text above it was Jordan wanting the GB section shut. And I hate to say it but I agree, but don’t shut the section just revoke their tickets and put them on sale for other punters. Enough is enough from these wankers.
Jordan and White are total knobs though….
Jordan knows who has the moral high ground here and it isn’t the Board!
So, he goes on a rant about the Green Brigade. And being a media expert, he knows that there are those who will pick up on it.
Shame on him!
Keep politics out of Paradise.
Keep it off the radio then?
You can’t separate people from their politics. (The clue is in the word)!
So, keep your hypocricy, as well!
Keep politics out of Paradise.
Keep politics out of Paradise! Keep politics out of Paradise!
