    You seem to want to go to town on this youngster, ask yourself "do you really believe there is something wrong about this lad , and seem desperate to bad mouth him, if there is /was an issue dont you think there would have been signs much earlier ,the word used is very subjective and can have so many different meanings , that alone should have you at least giving someone the benefit of doupt ,let alone a celtic youth .
    We have enough problems with the media going cart blanche on our club , and players without supporters giving legs to a nothing * story , give it up fs .

    This is nothing more than a total witch hunt against an 18 year old kid, that will be destroying his mental health. The paper also twisted what he said, he didn't mention her looks. I don't believe there's any malice in what he said, it was just a brainless thing that 18 year old say. Teenagers say crass things. It's just part of growing up. He's obviously doing very well for an 18 year old in being a promising Celtic player.

    I agree ,I would more question the people trying to make this become something and feeding it with negativity ,are they lurkers , I dont like saying this as I'm then doing exactly what they are doing .
    At the end of the day ,something was said that could be taken out of context , can mean many things , has been twisted a little by media rag , and it's a young guy who chose a wrong word and 1 not many are familiar with , no one has made a complaint as far as I know , it akin to the oba trying to pick fault in wots been said ,is life becoming so bad you cant be free to speak before going over wot you say and then saying it , my * let's close this chapter and leave the poor guy alone .

    I don’t think that’s true at all.

    If a "low ranking employee" in most organisations publicly said what okoflex did, and the PR backlash was the same as we are seeing just now then I think they would be gone.

    That’s not most jobs then. In fact it’s barely any jobs.

    Worse things have been said/done by worse people in higher positions.

    Does that make when he said acceptable? No. But there’s other ways to deal with this other than sacking him and forgetting it ever happened.

    It’s a red flag. But I don’t think there was malice in it. It needs to be dealt with quickly and effectively. A statement by the club with the punishment and a public apology from him. It’ll be forgotten about 6 months.

    The boy has said the wrong thing at the wrong time, if we all lost our jobs when that happened there'd be a lot more unemployment i'd suggest.

    The kid needs some good advice and guidance, not condemnation.

    Shouldn't need good advice and guidance to know saying what he did is creepy as * and wrong.

    He's 18 not 8, he should know this stuff by now.
