He was in Court 13 today (the court roll is here), which is why it'd have been reported now. Yeah, based on the PF reference number, the report was not submitted by the polis until 2022 so could tie in with the January period. As has been said, sounds like a lad who doesn’t drink much went on a bit of a bender after getting some bad family news and it doesn’t end well. Story reflects poorly on him but not the worst crime in the world. He’s put his hands up and we move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Just like Kyle Lafferty's bigotry can't be waved away with a "well he was provoked", Slattery's homophobic language requires more than a "he was going through a hard time". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away you go ya clown. Lafferty was upset by a "up the celts" or whatever the f**k it was. Two different scenarios, you know that though. Slattery has criminal charges etc to deal with so he's paid/ paying his penance. Lafferty is a biggoted f**k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 All of the other stuff from Slattery can be written off as being daft, drunk and upset, but there has to be a line on homophobia (or racism, sectarianism or anything else), and I don't think fans should be defending that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Going on a bender after some bad news is understandable. I know I've done it in the past. Homophobic language etc is still out of order though. I suspect the club probably dealt with it at the time which would explain his absence from the team for months at a time when we were complete fucking shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure anyone has defended it. He's been given a second chance and I am sure if there is a repeated instance people will reassess the situation. Any form of bigotry/xenophobia/racism is of course unacceptable. He's been very stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said, nobody is defending his choice of homophobic language, but you knew that. People are understanding of the fact that a young lad, who doesn't normally drink, went on a bit of a bender after receiving some horrendous news and made a c**t of himself in public. He's been criticised for his use of language and he'll face the consequences of that, and rightly so. Trying to compare this to the situation with the Lafferty one says more about you than it does anyone else. Mile-oot behaviour. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 4 upvotes on this post which specifically revels in his use of homophobic language.

dezz Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I don't think anyone is defending Slattery's language. It was out of order and he's been dealt with by the courts, and presumably by the club having been binned out the team around the time of the incident. People are, rightly, just more understanding of a young lad in his early 20's going a bit off the rails one evening after having been given some awful news, and as a result are willing to give him a second chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible to condemn the homophobia, agree that he should punished (as he has been), have a chuckle at the absolute chaos and also have some sympathy for the guy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behave. I don't think you'll have see one person defending the specific use of any language like that. It's possible to give the young lad a 'pass' overall (as I said in my post) or someone's amusing post an uptick and still not be defending all elements of Slattery's behaviour. Also, it's a fucking fitba forum we aren't writing up his rehab recommendations. As for comparing to Lafferty. The 35 year old fully grown mature man who should know better to Slattery. Be better than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkySuperSub Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Hopefully the lad has indeed taken ownership of his actions and has since managed to sort himself out from whatever stresses he was under at the time. He's obviously went off the rails having had a bad spell in his personal life and has made a rip-roaring cnut of himself in the process...I'm sure all of us have had similar episodes in our lives in the past. I imagine the chaos that ensued to be not too dissimilar to the rather famous photo below, which, somewhat conveniently for this post, appears to have taken place on the spectacularly named "Well Street".

Having seen these comments and also the ones you made on Twitter, you are clearly comparing the two separate incidents and are advocating a 10 match ban in line with Lafferty’s potential punishment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I'm not a fan of players getting bans for completely off-pitch stuff tbh. Fine Lafferty/Slattery if you want aye, but this isn't even tangentially related to football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
