Mumford, you clearly know what Deegan's opinion is on the IRA and terrorism.
I assume you know this because you have spoken to Deegan. What does he think about the IRA and about them killing innocent civilians?
All I know is he joked to a mate saying up the RA because his mate agreed to play for Northern Ireland. Then when someone explained to him that his comment was inappropriate. He explained it was a joke then removed it. So I don't know what his opinion is on them. I know he made a stupid joke
Going to be quite dissapointed in him, if you tell me he genuinely does support terrorism and the killing of civillians. Would prefer that he does not play for our club in that case.
Let us know what you know and how you know it please buddy, it may shine some light for those of us who have only got that bad taste joke to go on.
Being a supporter or somebody and being thick and not thinking before posting are different.
Exactly. Which is what I mean about he shouldn't have posted it online.
That was his mistake. A bad mistake and poor judgement.
Being a supporter or somebody and being thick and not thinking before posting are different.
anyone who says 'up the RA' is a support of the IRA.
to me that disgraceful and disrespectful
he cant be that thick tho? surely?
cue the irish jokes :facepalm:

loads on here have justifed his comments.
Do I think he is a terrorist - NO was it in bad taste andstupid - YES
Should he be fined and advised on future media use - YES Sacked - NO
This is the key bit Mumford. Everybody on here says he should not have put that comment on Twitter. Everybody agrees with that. No one has said it was a good idea.
If Gary Deegan said I aupport the IRA I support violence against joe public most people on here would be asking for him to be sacked.
This difference is how do you deal with an ill thought out spur of the moment joke. I think educate the person and get them to apoligise and move on.
The problem is, it seems that if you have this view people then accuse you of supporting murder of innocent people.
The question is what does a two week suspension achieve, it punishes me and you
It is a strange solution, hence why I think it is SISU seeing if they have a change of wage reduction.
Agreed: EXTRA training, get him running up dunes like in that classic old film The Hill! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hill_(film)What like people near enough of accusing him of being a terrorist, a fan of the IRA etc? Maybe he just didn't expect the over reaction about it.
Still just think his wages should go to a charity for 2 weeks, public apology and extra training.

So that includes you then. Or have I taken that out of context.
personally to a public domain. which bit cant you see.
a public domain. a joke between mates Is done via text or private message.
ive sent plenty of non PC jokes to mates but i do them private not via a open board etc
I have heard he isn't the brightest.
Is this you on a public domain saying you think all Irish people are thick? Or is it just banter?
Have you got a big house then?
Would it be on a bed and breakfast basis, or just room only?
There was a post I believe on GMK last week whereby some Muslim reporter was getting all hot under the collar at the England fans wearing St. George armour and shields and attire at the Euro Championships and he was talking about it representing the Crusades and being in very poor taste. How many hundreds of years ago was that?
FFS.
Perspective, perspective. If the IRA were still operating in the same manner they were 20, 30 and 40 years ago and were still active as a terrorist organisation then I could understand the uproar. If that had have been the case then I am sure Deegan wouldn't have said it.
It's like the old age dilemma. How long after someone is dead is it okay to make a joke about them.
The issue with this is that the majority of us aren't stupid enough to post it in a public place whilst being in a job where everything you say in the public eye is under scrutiny and will be judged.These people who are condemning Deegan are hypocritical morons. Stop acting like you've never said anything something you regret in jest?
So do your "non PC" jokes mean you genuinely believe that what you put was acceptable? Did you truly believe in what you put in your "non PC" joke. Do you think you shoulld have been suspended, maybe sacked and vilified by complete hysterical strangers on a message board if someone had found out what you'd said?
If this guy had done this up here in Scotland, he would have been applauded in the press and on BBC (Boys Backing Celtic) Scotland. Celtic would be beating a path to his door to sign him and he would be an instant hero and role model for The Green Brigade, who would have a song penned and ready for his debut. In fact if you want rid of him drop a note to..
.. Mr. Peter Liewell.
The Piggery
Glasgow
He will be delighted to sign him, just for the extra tops he will sell with Deegan's name on the back.
Seriously, this is very, very small beer compared to what gets tweeted up here.
For instance, the latest atrocity perpetrated against Rangers Football Club, by supposedly respected(but no longer) channel 4 and ITV journalist Alex Thomson who tweeted a gif. mocking the memorial outside our stadium to the 66 poor souls who lost their lives in the Ibrox disaster in January 1971. His excuse was that he did not know the significance of the memorial. This after fully describing it and its meaning in a blog last March. A disgusting sub-human.
At least your guy apologised.
you really are a sad sad human being
i do it privatly unlike deegan who broadcasts it on a public domain
So, its acceptable for you because you're clever enough to do it in private?
yes because its private
yes because its private
Well, I don't agree, it's hypocritical. I'm glad I'm a sad human being.
