Police Scotland are investigating an incident from East Fife’s match against Dumbarton on Saturday.
It is believed that a fairly specific comment was aimed at Gallagher Lennon that went way beyond the norm with the player’s mother watching the game.
The on loan St Mirren defender has been the subject of abuse previously, noticeably in a Scottish Cup tie against Philippe Clement’s side which failed to be picked up by the mainstream media despite being broadcast live by Viaplay Sport. The broadcaster made no comment.
Dumbarton stated:
Dumbarton Football Club can confirm that we are aware of an alleged incident that took place at our match away to East Fife on Saturday, and this is being investigated by Police Scotland.
The club has, and will continue, to offer support to the player involved and his family.
Dumbarton Football Club adheres to a zero tolerance policy and will cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation. The club will make no further comment at this time.
It is rumoured that the incident being investigated involved language stronger than good girl.
The run upto the sevco game and through it the boy was taking dogs abuse,,,as a few of the press lackeys kindly pointed out to certain peepul where their bile should be directed,,so like his dad it’s being stoked up for him,,
How widespread and deep the poison.
To be fair, if you ever wondered where the rock that the dregs of humanity crawled out from under actually was, the answer may well have been ‘in Methil’.
Ah yeah, but shouting racist slurs, shite about the famine and/or death threats at a young kid because of his Irish ethnicity is just “banter” and you just need to get over it Timmy. Copyright Keith Jackson, The SFA, the SPFL, Sky, BBC Scotland, STV and The Scottish Referees Association.
Not a peep from the msm though,awfully strange that. Not with the upstanding job they do on a daily basis. Saying that, they will be able to drag up the old,one side is as bad as the other shite as normal. Horrible wee country we live in.
Sweep, Sweep, Sweep it all away, away, away, away…
Bloody Hell – Even Lowly Dumbarton are getting it now !
