    I think all the abuse Taylor is getting here is very harsh. Accusations of racism, follower of the EDL (seriously GTF!?!), etc just because he put out a few I’ll advised anti lockdown tweets. Not covid denial.....anti lockdown.

    Suggestions that he’s not popular up in Scotland is also a total nonsense!! He’s liver up here.

    More likely the reason his name isn getting tarnished on here is because he is Scottish. Scottish boxers have always had it hard on ESB. If josh was English he would be a national treasure!

    The facts are other than one isolated incident with the bouncer he has done nothing wrong! Even then, in Scotland calling someone an orange b*****d is in relation to the football club one supports, nothing to do with race! Racism isn’t a big issue up in Scotland, certainly nothing like as prevalent as middle England. I would imagine you’d find a few Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon) racist fanatics among the heroic manchester heroes than in Scotland.

    Tommy Robinson aint racist mate. Sarcastically quoting his real name doesn't change that either.

    Not that we know of, but it would be one hell of a coincidence if this was an "isolated incident". Laughable.

    As if. Ever heard of context? You're really reaching.

    Absolutely laughable, and the prevalence of racism in Scotland has nothing to do with Josh Taylor's admission of guilt.

    What has happened has happened. Taylor said what he said back then. I hope he has learnt from it and won’t do it again, and that they aren’t a reflection of his actual views.

    Everyone makes mistakes, although you’d expect better from a grown man and adult.

    cant hide behind the “I was a kid and immature” excuse.

    Are you genuinely suggesting that calling someone an ‘orange b’ in Scotland is to do with race? If so, you clearly have no idea about Scottish culture and ergo you are talking pish! To educate, in Scotland (as with Northern Ireland) there is a significant support of William of Orange. This is demonstrated by the annual Orange Walk, and lodges dotted around the country. Calling someone an ‘Orange xxxx’ is calling them a supporter of this (ie Protestant / or a Rangers fan). This is beyond dispute. It’s not a nice thing to say, and religious bigotry is a huge issue in Scotland, but it’s certainly not racist.

    Your foolishness is further compounded with you claiming that the one incident we know of may be more than one - based on zero evidence.You can’t start villainising people with no reasonable evidence unless you have an agenda. You are attempting to - but failing - as you are arguing over something you have zero knowledge or understanding over.

    Sorry, I assumed you were joking.

    Pretty sure the court of law have proven beyond reasonable doubt that wur Tommy (real name Steven Yaxley-Lennon) is indeed a racist. To suggest otherwise is laughable, hence my uncontrollable laughter at your previous comment.

    You know what.....I have a hunch you are bang on the money mate. The problem is not Josh Taylor, the problem is Safin’s own self loathing.

    I have done. I see no racism, you are the one implying racism, so it's up to you to show me where I went so horribly wrong. Still waiting...

    I get you’re just trying to be obtuse. You will note his various arrests at EDL marches. EDL don’t really march for equality among races.
