Being responsible is not always easy, especially when it comes to running a football club, where playing to the gallery offers vastly better short-term returns, and no doubt a rush of endorphins.
If your fans are engaged in an activity which regularly brings them to the attention of the courts, and your club into disrepute, it doesn’t matter what you think of the apparent offense. You may chant an offending song in the shower every morning month, but your only public comment on the matter can be to chastise and urge fans to desist.
Clubs in Scotland voted against what is known as strict liability. This means they are not held responsible for transgressions by their fans – and who wants to be held responsible for the actions of others who protected from personal liability by hiding in a crowd.
Part of the deal on not having strict liability is that clubs must demonstrate that they take all steps necessary to dissuade and educate their fans from carrying out criminal or regulatory offenses. It’s simply not possible for club to tell fans their illegal actions were justified, as this would place the club itself in the firing line.
The nonsense following the Scottish Cup final is all background noise as far as we are concerned, but be aware the contagion will spread beyond those you could consider highly dysfunctional operators.
Solving Kids Cancer in memory of Oscar Knox
Our own Bundoran Bhoy will run the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday on behalf of Solving Kids Cancer. He has put in an enormous amount of work ahead of the event, for a cause which you are only too familiar with.
26 miles is a long way to run. You can give him some encouragement on his Just Giving page.
Good luck, Tommy.

I’m well impressed with Brendan already, and not a ball kicked yet!
He’s quietly gone about getting Chris and Glen to join him. Two young guys but with loads of experience from working with some top managers, as well as with Brendan.
All are articulate, intelligent and motivated.

I met you for an hour in my lifetime, I will hopefully have another hour in our lifetime. It’s pretty amazing when you put a face to a daft moniker, seemingly Dallas Dallas knows Sydney Tim from way back…… When all said and done its all about the Celtic……although it Is easier being a Tory down under than here …….and by the way your family is a credit to your good self
Hail Hail Celtic fan
MACJAY,
Me too, but I am encouraged to read this……..
“The areas I work in play a huge role ultimately in achieving maximum performance levels, in preventing injury and ensuring a high level of player availability.
“We are looking forward to meeting the squad in the next few weeks. Myself and the other performance staff at Celtic will work together and do all we can to help our players achieve their own objectives as individual athletes and help the team as a whole deliver success to our fans.”

Marvellous to meet you too , Gerry.
Tory ? Well , I feel that people lock themselves into allegiance to a political party and feel obliged to support that party.
I prefer to take each issue on its merits irrespective of the stance my ” party ” have decided on.
Eg. I would back Brexit. Cameron does not.
macjay1,
Thanks m8. I definitely intend to buy you a few vodkas when you are back here.

I too have a cynical view of politicians and their utterances.
The Scotland vote ? Don`t blame you.
Not having lived there for so long , i felt it would be silly for me to take a position.
Very interested in the ongoing debate on here , however.

Now, I suspect that like most on here, you”ll look upon me as a
nutcase-looney-unhinged-head-case-space-cadet-etc….
but, buried deep inside me is a heart.
A heart that can feel pain.
A heart that can feel joy.
A heart that can love.
A heart that know’s the real pain that your lovely
daughters are going through worrying about you.
A heart that know’s that you’ll be worrying deeply
for them also.
A heart that fears being nice in case it makes me look
vulnerable to sleekit, opportunistic predators.
A heart that since the turn of this year has reconnected
with the path that Jesus laid before us.
That re-connection has been a private tower of strength
for me.
Know what else…..?
That re-connection has made me realize that, or rather,
suspect that, Paul 67 is the 13th apostle ?
On this blog he has created the 8th wonder of the world.
Ye see, the trick is to take a step back from yer, i-phone,
lap-top, computer, i-pad, whatever and acknowledge that, what
is appearing on your screen is much more than just words.
It’s much, much, much more than that. I know.
ELDIEGOBHOY – My family is praying for you but, please realize
what appears on your screen, from the hundreds / thousands / millions
of folk from all walks of life who’ll have been sending you goodwill on
these pages – that’s where the real magic comes from.
Hail Hail and all the best to you ELDIEGOBHOY.
You” Never Walk Alone….in the Jungle.
