Banning 128 fans seems impossibly indiscriminate. I don’t know how it was decided but it sounds like “those eight columns and sixteen rows” – painting with a very broad brush. If so, the Club must meet with those in the affected area as soon as possible to allow fans who have had nothing whatsoever to do with vandalism or dangerous behaviour to continue to follow their club. If such a letter arrived on my doorstep, I would want to face the Club urgently. We’ve all been tarred by the pyros, banners and vandalism, but some are paying a higher price.
Unless there is specific evidence against an individual, the default expectation must be that bans will be lifted after interview.
Back in July, after the Club and the Green Brigade met to agree a way forward following some early season Uefa disciplinary problems, we wondered if either could control every last hanger-on hoping to ‘stick it to the man’. Statements in recent days from both organisations show how impossible this has proven to be.
When I wrote my article on Saturday I didn’t expect the condemnation of the previous night’s incidents, from all sections of the support, to be so comprehensive. We’ve seen elsewhere the damage procrastination and deflection can be. There is no need to deflect. We will not blame Chelsea fans. Nor is there need for ‘whataboutery’. Vandalising seats and throwing flares is now endemic in our game but Celtic fans are judged by higher standards. The Celtic support is characterised by by enormous generosity. Still.

Oh the irony.
Good evening friends and welcome to Champions League Eve
No political banners at the games.Isn’t that the case?
Before I get pounced upon I’m only relating this from Twitter.
Allegedly a guy who is one of the 128 banned/suspended has had a call from his mother saying that a Sun reporter has been at the door wishing to interview him.
A sinister development if true.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…………………….Or the under 19s are not allowed to wear alcohol sponsors.
Will Celtic get fined if our fans were to unfurl a banner in the great mans memory ?
I only ask as there’s supposed to be no politricks in football.
Barca 3-0 up and looking like they are able to play with their slippers on. Plenty of effort from our bhoys
Daft penalty
3-0
Nae luck bhoys

Gardez loo for the sun hun i hope

Political banners are ok this week then?!?
I wonder if they would have put one up for Nelson Mandela in 1982, would they?
3-0 Barca, played well in the first half, lost their way in the second, well the goalie did anyway.
Istanbulcelt Oscar’s Green & White Army
could be….. but Qatar airways not official sponsor.
Must be different rules for under 19s lots of advertising hoardings
not official sponsors
HT
It’s a crazy mixed up world.
The big no, no in Scotland is anything Irish and U.E.F.A endorse the old British
Empire, with vigour.
3-0 FT,a bit harsh on the bhoys shame for the young GK
To be fair to the goalie I have seen a couple of the European Youth League, he has done well enough in those games.
Hope someone puts an arm around him and gives him a wee gee up, he’ll need it.

With all this incessant negativity towards Celtic you’d be forgiven for thinking Sevco were edging closer to administration before their first ever AGM.
Totally agree.
The OVERKILL of Fir Park events by SMSM can only herald forthcoming disaster for thems after AGM:
Admin and/or Ipox sale and leaseback.
I’ll take both.

It was hatched in the days following liquidation.
I refused a ticket for Motherwell, and I’m glad I did.
The so called ‘slow train crash’ is being overtaken by Hugh Keevins
driving the liquidation bus, and all things Celtic are measured very
high on a scale of one to Charles Manson.
I thought long and hard about whether I would share this photo of the pile of broken seats, I know the MSM will use it and have it emblazoned across the front pages but as a fan I believe we have to be honest about the extent of the problem in our game. If this photo brings further shame on the club’s supporters then that is just to bad. We need to highlight these issues and keep exposing these hooligans.

You called me a bum barer? Please explain, and I hope it is not what I think it means, what a Disscusting thing to say to any person, please do not mention my name in any of your vile posts, I have been called a few names since Saturday, but you crossed the line there, maybe one day our paths will cross and we can discuss it, as most people in here know I drink in the Brazen Head, Sunday is your best day to see me there, just ask anyone in the pub and they will point you in my direction, there will not be a problem, and we will discuss your opinion of me being a BUM BARER, normally as I have said many times peoples opinion of me are of no concern to me, but YOU crossed the line, disagree with ME yes, fill your boots, but naaaaaaa I am my fathers son and he was never nor was his father a BUM BARER.

At least he never called you a Bum Bearer from Carntyne.
Just popped into see if there is any more news on the resolution 12 yet?
Have our heroes like the GB dropped the ball?
Surely PL didn’t eat them up for dinner, as I predicted?
Why the secrecy on this subject, a new tact for these guys as they like everything in the open?
Are these not the guys who stamp and cry, why don’t Celtic let us know what is going on?
Why did they have a meeting with Celtic and they are not telling us what was said, double standards?
Like the people who are defending the GB and want answers from Celtic about the procedure on how they are going about the Fir Park incident, I would also like answers to my questions on why we have had no answers on resolution 12 here, take your time getting of the one horse to get to the other, if you can manage that, and I doubt very much you can, as I said at the start, boys where sent on a mans job got chewed up and spat out, silly boys, only my opinion mind you, can you see my bum?

What I can’t understand is Celtic board’s rope-a-dope tactics in all this.
It’s a rumble in the Jungle all right – but I’m fed up seeing us being punished on the ropes.
What round do we flex our muscles, spit out the gum shield, and put the bad guy on the floor?

Really uncomfortable with all this bum/bottom/erse/erchie/ahole/bahookie stuff is really bearing/baring down on me.
