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.

I lived in Brampton Ont. mate.
*should that not be Bramladesh…now there’s a racist remark and yet everyone there uses that term even the Indians and I don’t mean the native ones.
Gonna open a tin of Stella anytime a goal goes in tonight at the Camp Nou.
Hoping I don’t get pashed in first 20 mins.
Seriously,my head tells me routine 3 goal victory for Barca tonight.

Each to their own . My favourite is the Cameron bridie. Camerons is a shop in Forfar.

JJ that may well be one and the same as the Dee my friend brought me as it was baked in Forfar IIRC and was then sold in shops in Dundee.
Ryecatcher, I sampled meat and potato pies in Old Trafford at the Rapid Vienna replay and they were top notch.
The seasoning is the thing I think and knew a man who sold only this to butchers all over Scotland. He was very guarded about the exact mixture but did a roaring trade.

I am indeed a middle aged teenager who used to work at the sharp end in hazardous industries.
Sell things rather than make them these days but still have the odd bit of input to the Operational side of a couple of businesses from time to time.The H and S staff that I manage sometimes are both qualified to NEBOSH Diploma level and they agree that the way the laws are structured and implemented is wrong.
Don’t know too much,apart from a basic knowledge,about CDM Regs but have been told they are wide open to abuse by unscrupulous operators,
Meanwhile the government targets small businesses as it’s easier for them to resource.
Best Practicable Option is often ignored by people who have clipboards and tick boxes with absolutely no understanding of what the feck they are auditing.
H and S consultants are an industry in themselves.
Rant over mate…..Hail Hail
BSR-Enjoy those 7 chips :}
Peter Collins and Fran McCarthy (rip) where very close friends of mine, I was with Peter I Vegas this year, one pure gentleman is big Peter, I was very upset when Frank passed away, what a shock that was, he was a regular in my bar, another gentlemen.
Is the game on t.v.?
SSB Jim Duffy makes me cringe.
Brown sauce or Ketchup on a Bridie?
Annoyed when my English mates call ketchup red sauce and put it on everything apart from sausages and bacon…..now this is sacrosanct…..When in Englandshire….one must ALWAYS use ONLY brown sauce on these…..If you put it on anything else you don’t half get some funny looks.

Tony I swear you’ve gave me the biggest laugh on cqn since the day the huns croaked.
Your Wop reference was followed by what looked like the script from Love thy neighbour.
Cant eat my dinner for laughing.
Your defo the pantomime villain on here mate but it fairly spices things up. Its coming across even funnier coz I see your smirking, grinning, wind up, with a dash for venom in your face. One minute your the lion the next an innocent wee lamb.
Peely Wally, Alf Garnett….priceless.

Burghbhoy….
You would be summarily executed in the cafés I frequent in Manchester and Liverpool.
Broon sauce is for nothing…..ABSOLUTELY NOTHING…else but bacon or sausages.
If you even dare put a pie on a roll or a slice of bread then you would be killed on the spot.
TD67 – old Cal is my uncle, young Cal my wee cousin.
Just heard the Sky Sports News presenter, live from the Nou Camp, mention the “violence” of Celtic fans on Friday night!!!!!!!
Ryecatcher.

Before I forget….
Meat and Potato pies from the Crusty Cob in Ancoats,Manchester(just around from the Etihad Stadium) are better than any baked product I have ever tasted since my last bridie in Scotland(somewhere in Anstruther I think).Truly is food from the Ghods.
………………………
thanks for the tip …I am in Manc once a month …will make a braw-line for that pie shop …

Biton. Sammi, pukki
Stokes Commons mulgrew on the bench!!!!!
Stunning
Any team news?

Emusanorpphan….
Ok then…..
Nearly killed on the spot ya Dober.
Hope the bhoys keep it nice and tight tonight and keep trying to force the Barca players out wide. That tactic was working pretty well against them in the home game before Broony’s moment of madness. The main priority is to avoid a morale-damaging pasting. Hopefully the players will want to put on a good show and send out a message that they’ll be back in the tournament next season ready to take on whoever they’re drawn against.
Pukki and Sammi up front…
Certainly an interesting team
Need to give new player THE experience
Go for it tonight Celtic- play a forward
I see the MSM are growing arms and legs on the chairs story- by next week we will have been responsible for the dobbers Manchester riot

#Celtic team to play Barcelona: Forster; Lustig, Ambrose, Van Dijk, Ledley; Matthews, Brown, Biton, Boerrigter; Samaras, Pukkki #UCL (MH)

Good to chat again prior to the AC game.
Hope your absence from here is short term.
Take care.HH
