The reaction of certain individuals when we return to claim the victory is the only thing better than Celtic doing so. Not only was it exciting to watch Nicolas Kuhn’s goal cross the goal line, but it was much more exciting to see the Village Idiot’s expression at the end of play—angry that Kuhn hadn’t been sent off for the “crime” of celebrating his goal.
The amazing words “bitter tears taste so sweet” were written by INXS’s Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence. The taste of their tears, after an afternoon like today, is unmatched by any wine.
Bitter Tears is also a song by The Magnetic Fields, one of my favorite bands.
The majority of my loyal followers, particularly those on Facebook, are aware of my admiration for Stephen Merrit’s amazing writing, since many of them have put up with my numerous articles discussing their music, which includes numerous tracks from YouTube.
Their song’s opening lines, “Bitter tears keep me going, through the years, freely flowing,” always make me smile, even though the context is a little different.
We don’t need encouragement on days like this one because our team recently won. Savoring that triumph while sipping a tall, iced glass of those bitter tears is the cherry on top.
Since we’ve been drinking those tears for the past three years, I could honestly keep drinking them for ten, fifteen, or twenty more. I’ll always be interested in it.
What specifically was agitating Fat Boy today? It wasn’t just that Nicolas Kuhn stayed on the pitch—it was the goal itself that drove him into a tailspin. What made him angry wasn’t the celebration, but the goal itself. The fact that the goal had been scored was what really got him mad, not the officials’ failure to show a second yellow card. unadulterated and basic.
How often do we have to say it?
This guy is just too warped, racist, and bitter to provide even a somewhat objective analysis of our matches. He isn’t a troll since trolls are easy to identify—they try to interject themselves into the story and create controversy in order to get attention. He’s not all that smart. He simply can’t keep it a secret and is prejudiced and utterly anti-Celtic.
The rule prohibiting players from leaving the field to celebrate goals is one that I have never been a fan of.
To be honest, I detest it and would be happy to see it retired.
Its irregularity is one of the causes. A player is booked for every one who gets away with it. Either the rule should be completely eliminated or it should be clear-cut: any player who exits the pitch to celebrate will be booked. The latter is what I like better. However, as long as it stays subjective, which it has been consistently stated to be, there will be instances such to this one in which players get sent off for the identical offense just because they had a booking earlier.
A player should not receive a second yellow card for celebrating.
It’s nonsensical. Furthermore, the Village Idiot displays an astounding degree of bitterness when he says Kuhn ought to have been fired for it. In a million years, no player should get sent out for that. However, that has happened to Celtic players in the past.
In 2019, Scott Brown received an infamous red card for celebrating a goal against Kilmarnock. Daizen Maeda was given a yellow card in the previous season for celebrating against the Ibrox club. At the same stadium as today in 2022, Moritz Jenz scored a late goal for Celtic, dived into the crowd while receiving a booking, and avoided receiving a second yellow card.
That also resulted in a similar outcry—many complaints from professional Celtic supporters—but there is a deafening quiet when it comes to the Ibrox club. And that has consistently occurred with them over and over.
If these individuals wish to grumble about subjectivity, let us examine each and every one of these instances in detail. However, I think they would be hesitant to comply.
They understand that the regulation is absurd just as much as we do, therefore I imagine you would get a sly response if you asked them about it.
The benefits of this rule and the reasoning behind booking players for celebrating with their own fans could have been the subject of a legitimate debate. especially when it occurs after a crucial three points had been secured late in the game.
Rather, the Village Idiot put on his blue-tinted glasses and unleashed his resentment.
It’s humorous to me. Nothing is more entertaining to see than his response after Celtic wins. That’s why I find his reaction funny.
However, that’s the issue when broadcasters employ louts like him. You get a one-sided tirade from a man whose afternoon has been wrecked instead of an intelligent discourse. Sky will always be the target of jokes as long as he hires individuals who behave in this way.
He shouldn’t be allowed to attend Celtics games.
Because even though it’s amusing to watch him look like he’s been sucking lemons, his presence detracts from the entire show and turns it into a farce.
