“He’s a bad player. Dafty” – Hugh Keevins’ incredible attack on Celtic star. His agenda is very clear

To be honest, I am getting sick, fed up of people continually berating and abusing Carl Starfelt.

If you were to listen to people like Hugh Keevins on Superscoreboard every day (and some Celtic fans to be fair) you would think he was the spawn of Raphael Scheidt and not a defender that is part of the meanest backline two seasons in a row.

The big Swede has come under constant criticism from Keevins and even after being part of a double winning side and potential treble winner, the experienced journalist just can’t help himself but criticise him.

Speaking during Saturday’s Superscoreboard show, Keevins took every opportunity he could to claim Celtic will not win the game but to also take a pop at Carl Starfelt after the big defender gave away a penalty, “Well he’s a bad player for me. He’s always got a big mistake in him. You have regular calls from Celtic supporters who acknowledge the fact that he is, in football parlance, a bombscare.

When it was pointed out that more Celtic fans call the show to defend him than criticise, it didn’t stop Keevins continuing his one man slaughter show, “Yeah well, but he’s given away an absolutely needless penalty kick. Celtic with 11 men and Hibs with 10, this has dafty written all over it.”

Talk about disrespect. And here is where I have a burning issue with this type of language.

If you are going to use it, you need to be consistent with it. I have never in my time heard Hugh speak about any other professional in the game the same way he speaks about Starfelt.

He has a one man agenda against the Celtic player.

He has also falsely claimed that Celtic fans can’t wait to see Kobayashi replace Starfelt in the starting line up, and even that drew an incredible reactions from his fellow pundits.

Keevins is meant to be impartial. He’s meant to offer an informed opinion. The only thing he is informing me of is that he clearly has an agenda against Starfelt and it is one his employers need to address with him.
