FC St. Pauli Supervisory Board mobs against captain, wife strikes back

At FC St. Pauli there is a lot of trouble about captain Jackson Irvine. His wife Jemilla Pir posted a contribution on Instagram on Tuesday, which ensures a lot of vertebrae around the Hamburg district association. PIR makes public in the posting that Supervisory Board René Born has commented on a photo of Irvine and his wife twice under his profile name Rene.FCSP.

“Nobody is bigger than that Club“Rene.fcsp and obviously said Irvine. The second comment was hearty: “This is our club, not yours. You will be gone in a few months and play somewhere else for one euro. We will always be here, while you are no more than a footnote,” said the media.

The process has long been known in the club – and worked up. “The club management of the FC St. Pauli After the comments became known, internal conversations, clearly distanced itself, and also transmitted this distance. Before the publication of the Instagram reels on Tuesday, “wrote FC St. Pauli in a statement to the” kicker “.

That means: Born was held accountable for his comments and apologized in a letter to Irvine.

But apparently the trouble about the attack on the integrity of her husband at Jemilla Pir was not over. “Okay, this is wild,” are the first words of the player wife in the clip on Tuesday. In the video she shows the post under which the two comments were Born’s: a photo that Irvine and his wife shows in front of the green bunker directly at the Millerntor Stadium. Pir and Irvine wear clothes from the “St. Pauli” fashion collection of the Australian.

Pir also says in English about Born’s comments: “Online bullies have to be questioned. Especially those like René Born who are in a position of power and believe that they can intimidate you publicly and give you the feeling that they can pass you out of your home.”

How the club reacts to the renewed provocation is open. The fact is that there was debates about the injured captain in the past few months, and the former fan favorite is no longer as popular with many.

On the one hand, this is because it can be seen from the Born comment that Irvine and his Woman market offensive on social media and advertise for Pirs “St. Pauli” fashion collection that shows the lettering on caps, shirts and tag bags. Apparently, this is opened up by many supporters.

The political attitude of Irvines and Pirs makes even higher waves to the Gaza conflict: Irvine showed itself in photos in summer in a T-shirt that Palestine showed as a state in the field of Israel. The shirt advertised the “FC Palestine” an internet shop that is clearly anti-Semitic and provides Palestine activists with merchandise.

In other posts and likes, Irvine underpinned his criticism of Israel’s warfare in Gaza. According to the “Jungle World” newspaper “Jungle World”, spouse Pir, who markets the saying “St. Pauli – Antifascist NeighbourHood”, is said to have given a boycott call on the Internet against Israel with a “like” that also calls up the boycott of FC St. Pauli. The reason is a fan friendship between the Hamburgers and the Israelis.

Irvine also missed the opportunity to explain himself to FC Palestine jersey in a media round in the summer training camp. Instead, he saw himself as a victim (“I found the allegations to be deeply insulting and hurtful”).

The current post from Irvine’s wife comes at a time when the professional is in reconstruction training after a long injury break. This continues the trouble for the captain and causes unrest among followers.

It remains to be seen how long the club will look at the theater around Irvine. “We urgently appeal to behave in the sense of a respectful and constructive interest of the entire FC St. Pauli. Slope battles on social media do not help – they harm everyone,” the club writes almost pleadingly.
