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.

Take me back to Carmyle where the Tahiti fight nearly every night.
Compare Fir Park to the Forces bigotfest at Ibrox. Then compare the media coverage. That is the whole crux of mine any a good few others’ argument on the matter. The LL couldnt wait to form a posse,whip up a frenzy, set up a kangaroo court and get the gallows built before anyone is found guilty.
Lawwell does have a problem to deal with, but which one is the biggest. Is it those lovable but pesky upstart GB bhoys who brought colour, passion, and a thing called atmosphere to CP, but stepped out of line on a few occasions? Or is it the SMSM, a body of agenda ridden lackies who continually undermine CFC with headlines like ‘Paranoid Celtic Fans’..’Thugs and Thieves’ and my favourite ‘Tommy you should learn from this man’ post Ibrox Ref honest mistake when TB exploded (above a photo of none other than Walter Smith!). Only three weeks ago Lawwell was mocked and villified for his Rory Bremner joke.
We got the message a long time ago, well I did anyway. The MSM in the main are an enemy of our club and therefore bad for business. Much of this latest episode is down to them and it seems our board are now under Jack Irvine’s spell. Even this early its turning into an utter farce and sadly PL, the board and the msm will have more questions to answer than a group of young guys who were’nt even born when real football fan issues like the battle of Hampden 1980, the destruction of the Wembley pitch 1977 or the massive jail counts after every 1960s Glasgow derby were making deserved headlines.
Two pages in and this thread is utterly ridiculous. And very funny if you like that sort of thing. Apologies to this who don’t, back to work for me.
Bournesoup….
They used to get their heads kicked in by the Tollx Wee Men,right?
Bernie Slaven was a bum barer.
And he came from Castlemilk too.
Case proven, I think.

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.
==========================
Sorry, but I find this hilarious.
‘Bum barer’ and the offence taken: LMAO.

Mind you, Bernie’s family were blow-ins from Paisley.
Maybe it’s the Paisley tims we should be worried about re gratuitous flashes of the hether regions.

The ole Tahiti were smarter they never left Carmyle.
For hether read nether.
Unless Heather wants to flash her bum too.
Can’t help but think we are now at a watershed moment in football in Scotland.
Serious ageing demographics
Rise in club “Ultras”
Banning of said “Ultras”……although they don’t help themselves either
The future does not look bright at all IMO

wee Alanis Morrisette comes from Ottowa.
So she’d be much nearer to Hamilton than Blantyre.

Those ‘gentleman’s slacks’ you picked up in the Slater’s sale.
They don’t perhaps look a bit like these?

Would someone from Los Angeles be laconic?
And dying in your bed many years from now.
Would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance, to come back here as young men and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, they may take our freedom….
But they will NEVER call us bum barers.

Cheers for the links, I may not agree with all of what was said but enlightening.
The comments… As said before… The huns had nothing to match them and are loving every sentence written in derision of the GB.
What a difference ten years make; from detailed analysis of amortisation to callin’ each other bum barers.
Modren CQN is rubbish.

People from Icomb are amongst the most icombic
Icombic Pentameter were an outstanding combo – there was 10 of them IIRC. I’m sure some of the older CQNers would have caught them at the ole Auld Burns Howffff. Back in the day…
Whether Heather’s nethers the day?
Bournesoup..
Remember that wee Ned Alex Drummond formed a flute band down there called Pride of the Myle.A bigger bunch of tramps with flutes and drums the world had never seen.
Remember a Celtic supporters bus pelting them with coins one day and they thought it was a scramble.
Lawell would have banned the whole bus.

They should also be asked , without repercussion ,
Can we ask the same questions to those who in the Police ? on the tracksdie, in the stand and in the control room –
1. Did you see anyone near you breaking seats or throwing flares?
2. If so did you report it to a superior ?
3. If you did report it then what was done, if anything?
4. If you didn’t report it , why not?
!!Bada Bing!!

I can understand you taking offence at being called a bum bearer.
If you re-read your post it’s funny as f…, chill out, and enjoy the banter.HH
Marrakesh Express-Celtic should have reigned the MSM in years ago ,we sit back and do nothing( except ban Keevins ).To use a phrase ” we have brought this on ourselves” springs to mind.

Thanks newradbhoy, only 2 days left and 41 to go to make the 1,000.
Not sure if the number of seats damaged according to the DR will reach the millennium before the supporters of PE01501 do!
