I was at that game, parkhead mar '99 vs cech rep iirc, I remember heading back in the car and a mates mate from the Celtic bus was there who'd I'd just met was calling the phone ins about it to tell them "it wiz the ranjurs fans that were booing"!!! True Story!!! He thought cause it was at parkhead Celtic fans would get blamed!...
What I was saying earlier about Scottish football being parochial. You can't point the finger at anyone, too much hatred between the two big clubs and the diddys all hate the OF. Don't let morons put you off following your coutry.
Well said Thompson and Nevin: Both pundits on BBC1 saying the Black booing was a disgrace And Black is there on merit in the squad Thompson also calls them a disgrace for ruining a proud moment for Black and his family
Racism. Pure and simple. I sincerely hope the Scotch media highlight this bigotry. The only reason he was booed is because he's Black.
FIXED. The island of Ireland has two national football teams. Why was Black booed? Because it was at Easter Road? Because he plays for Rangers? Disgraceful no matter what the reason. If you support your country you get behind all the players, no matter what.* please log in to view this image * Unless they are the captain of your country and they talk about merging your national team with another national team.
In fairness no 3rd division player should be anywhere near any national team. still doesnt make it ok to boo your own players though.
i thought the booing was poor - no matter what black is like as a player (and honestly i dont think he is nearly good enough for the international game but hey ho) you should support your country the irony of a rangers fan posting this is not lost on me, however. Some of the obvious contempt for their national squad makes this highly hypocritical
Pretty sure it was more to do with the fact he's a wee prick, he's f***ing mince, played for Hearts, plenty of Hibees at ER and they all hate him. Booing him 'cos he's ****e and plays diddy football for a diddy team is just an add on. Shouldn't be anywhere near the team. Wallace is a different matter, but Black's just utter utter ****e. If i paid £20 to see my national team and they were giving pub league players caps i reckon i would boo as well.
