This guy's only reasoning is simply to slate Celtic at every opportunity and use that as an excuse to back the other side. An extremely "childish" reason for backing a team in such a big fixture. DD's resentment towards Celtic most likely stem from his associatopn with Rangers and the unfortunate West of Scotland bigoted attitude he has towards his teams rivals. His views that Celtic would not have a hope in hell at home against shakhtar were indeed narrow minded and "childish". OK Nastro's comments were a bit strong, but the point he was making was more than justified. A threat of a ban is indeed harsh here in my opinion.
Whilst I haven't looked into any previous comments from DD, it's still a playground reaction and a 24 hour ban is more than justified for anyone who thinks they can start insulting people in any forum bar GC or Sports Banter, where it is an entirely different matter.

This is the champions league betting forum, not the champions of the playground forum.
