Twitter can be a strange place. For those that use the social media platform, like me, they will know that it can be a cesspit of racism, bigotry and child abuse comments when it comes to conversing with certain *Rangers fans.
We all know the accounts I am talking about.
But it can also be a brilliant place to talk football normally, with likeminded Celtic fans who just want to chat about the game and the team.
But this latest comment from known Ibrox blogger James Black, was daft at the most and at the very least, not very well thought out considering the subjects it covers:
Now I am not daft enough to even say that he meant this in a racist or sectarian way, of course he didn’t.
But what he did do is target a Celtic player that has already been subject to racist abuse from his own fans and open him up to a repeat of the abuse he suffered prior to the last Glasgow Derby.
A very ill thought out tweet that the Celtic fans took serious exception to:
Why bring Kyogo into it, theres a picture of a Celtic player there why not use him as an example like the original tweet was doing or just the fanbase in general, that wee guys no been seen in months and your still having nightmares about him strange behaviour from a grown man..

It’s slightly strange that Kyogo, who hasn’t been seen since December, is your first thought of call.
Makes you wonder what else you say about him privately.

James, your timeline is an anti Catholic anti Irish bin fire. I hope you find peace in life but for now try and stop spreading your inner angst. God forgives 🙏

Your obsession with Kyogo is actually very worrying. To the point you are actually questioning what insults you can get away with calling him. Has he hurt you that badly?

I wonder what your motivation to bring up a guy who’s not been in the public eye for 4 months could be.
Something tells me it might be to justify the abuse that persons already had and make it fair game, despite him getting racially abused regularly.
