SFA hope Boruc heeds warning over behaviour MARTIN McMILLAN George Peat, the president of the Scottish Football Association, hopes his disciplinary commission has seen the last of Artur Boruc after the Celtic goalkeeper's latest punishment. Boruc was found guilty of improper conduct and received a £500 fine and a severe reprimand after being photographed making one-fingered gestures to Rangers fans during the last Old Firm derby on August 31. It is not the first time the Poland international has been caught on camera antagonising opposition supporters and while he was censured and warned about his future conduct, such a mild financial penalty - perhaps an hour-and-a-half's salary for Boruc - is bound to raise a few eyebrows. Peat hopes the warning will be sufficient to encourage Boruc to mend his ways. "I certainly hope so," he said. "We haven't had many of these incidents, thankfully, and I just hope that this serves as a message: not so much the fine, but the actual fact that he's been punished." Peat was speaking at an event in Glasgow to promote the Show Racism the Red Card' campaign. He said the SFA would do all they could to help eradicate the problem from football. "I think it's a great idea actually to publicise this and try to eliminate racism. The SFA will support that 100%," he said. "It has no place at all in football, as in any other part of life. Where we're involved on the football side, we've got to do our very best to eradicate it." Sectarianism is also a problem that has dogged the Scottish game, with Rangers manager Walter Smith recently telling The Herald of his fear the club might never rid themselves completely of the scourge. Peat said: "It's a difficult one. I think Walter's got a good point there. There's a small minority, I think, who are obviously keeping the same view. "We've just got to hope through time that their views change." Peat accepts players have a responsibility to set an example to supporters and he said he felt clubs were encouraging them to do that. He will be hoping Boruc - who was given seven working days to appeal yesterday's decision -takes that on board. The 28-year-old goalkeeper was charged last month after an SFA review panel examined photographs from the Old Firm game. His case was postponed in order to allow him to prepare for the following night's Champions League opener against Aalborg. Link 500 quid to GIRUT? Money well spent if you ask me! :thumbs.up: oh aye, let's not forget the 'severe reprimand'......the huns must be raging! |

He should go down in person and pay it in pennies. Pathetic so it is. |

I feel genuinely guilty. Artur has to shell out £500 for giving the monkeys the finger. I got to do it loads of times at the match, all included in my season ticket price.
