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.

“someone is going to be seriously hurt”.
Agreed, so why is our club no asking SPFL to investigate the seat throwing incidents at the Aberdeen game?

eddieinKirkmichael. We are being seen to clear up our own problem and that is surely as it should be.We don’t know what Celtic are saying behind the scenes but because it appears no one else is doing anything doesn’t absolve Celtic from there responsibilities. I support the board on this issue we don’t want to wait until someone is seriously injured breaking seats and setting off flairs is just vandalism and should be stamped out. H.H.

We are back making the age old mistake of appealing to our persecutors for justice.

Many thanks over the 1,000 now so it has support and cannot said to be the voice of a lone few, which is how the SPICe briefing team would treat it otherwise.

please tell me you made up that belter of a handle?
Sometimes it’s hard to be a lawwell man
Giving all your love to just one man
You’ll have bad times
And he’ll have good times
Doin things that you don’t understand
But if you love him
You’ll forgive him
Even though he’s hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh, be proud of him
Cause after all he’s just a fan
Stand by your fan
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
when nights are cold and lonely
after a cupla weeks of us all obsessing about banners, green brigade and broken seats.
i would like to know what is the story with our hunnish friends, are they heading back to administration/liquidation again
could someone please let me know

So you believe that Celtic have made representations to SPFL re the issues at the Aberdeen game? I don’t as I’ve not seen one piece of evidence that would lead me to believe that this board has ever stood up for our fans.
There are plenty of instances over the years where we have been pilloried in the press and our board have remained silent.
I agree we need to weed out the trouble makers but IMO the GB aren’t the trouble makers.
This game we all love is riddled from top to bottom with corruption both here and at UEFA?FIFA.
Football fans are being criminalised for singing songs that you can buy in any record shop around the world and our board remain silent.
I hope there are more banners against this legislation, maybe if the press in other countries pick up on it they will report the message behind the banners and not the anti Irish agenda which is all to obvious from the Scottish MSM.

“Getting a good result against Barça is important in terms of the context of the season and also looking ahead to the next one. We are without doubt going to have to play a great game.
We will need a lot of discipline and tactical prowess. We will need to be brave with the ball.
Yet even in doing all those things, it still might not be enough to win against Barça. We have had some good moments this term. We are not going to treat Neymar any differently to the rest of Barcelona’s players.
These types of games represent huge occasions for us and the truth is that I am really eager for this game to start as soon as possible. There is a lot of respect between both clubs. They are two institutions that get along very well.”

Emilio Izaguirre is absent through suspension.

Oh they are absolutely fine, they are having a wee get together in 9 or ten days then they are going to dominate world football for years to come. Fine upstanding member s of the community.
Over the last couple of years Lawwell has seemed to turn a blind eye, to the guff the fans are subjected to in the press.

If so gies the recipe.
