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.

Always wondered why I was born with a self tapping screw in my navel passage instead of a belly button.
Was itching like mad when I ran for a bus one day,so yanked it out with pliers.
Should have seen my face when my bum fell off.

I see what you mean, I’m forgetting that the final round of games are play-offs. Oh well back to the USSR!
Kayal33…15.48
I seriously doubt it.
GB may congregate again elsewhere in due course given there are plenty of seats available but 111 has had it IMO
Kayal33
…..and I think the board have washed their hands of the GB for ever.
The GB blew it I’m afraid!
is it just ma good self ,or are you all well daft? ………braw are we still playing Barcelona the morra ? if it was up to me ,I would Celtify them ….attack attack attack
14 to 16 for the Celtic …..maybe that would take MSM out of furniture lock-down —hahahaha
Celtic Mac,
Still….the coefficients are going in the right direction. :)
It’s all about BUMS on seats.
Lawell has blown a big fart at our fan base.
Rye…
Not subtle….but it made me laugh!

It’s good news week!

I see what you did there!
Are the GB now just a damp squib?
Weeminger
Brilliant. Thanks. I wonder how they managed to do that? Can you imagine the Media reaction in Scotland if the GB managed to pull a stunt like that on Reporting Scotland!!!!!!!

philbhoy…
If only the squibs had been damp!

Agreed on that!

We`ve got no chance of this topic being dropped by the MSSM and while they continue with it, it will be a topic on here because so many on CQN are so obviously influenced by that same anti-Celtic MSSM.

Think Ambrose, whilst a super player, is just too light weight for CH.(though barca game may not bother this). Like to try Stokes as a provider of sorts.
Pukki has football intelligence and may suit withdrawn striker role.
Everyone wants to see Balde let loose

What I thought was interesting is the girl trying but failing to use the wall controls. As if they’d totally hijacked the whole system.
It’s in the UEFA rules that the home club have to provide adequate PR facilities and it’s fairly clear from the incident that Real Madrid have failed in that duty. 30k Euro fine is the going rate I believe.
Re the Bum Barer insult
Is it hinting that the insultee may be a supporter of the dead club?
As in the lyric from that fine song ‘Dedicated Follower of R*ngers’ :-
“He beats the drum in Mother-well
He bares the bum outside cha-pel”
Should have made number 1
How low can Absolutely go?
When asked about the delay in taking his salary cut he responded by talking about the Clutha accident and how that puts the ‘problems’ at Sevco in perspective.
Then for an encore and without any hint of irony he started talking about how tough things were for many people, ‘particularly at this time of year’.
Sleekit clown.
I’m going near this bear/bum debate/ super flouncing after I was informed that there was lots of different kind of bears. I blushed very brightly, been clean shaven ever since.

30k for ordinary teams in Spain. Real Madrid are the Rangers/Sevco of Spain so 0 Euro fine is more likely.

What price he gets asked heehaw about his salary at the sevco bun fight
TTT,
Pathetic, he has spent the last year trying to bully his way through every discussion and had I known how to get such a stupid response from him before now I would have used it, I am completely unrepentant, he has called me out a liar and a fool for resolution 12 on many occasions, many have tried to discuss his point of view with the same result, he tried the exact same bully tactics on Morissey when he had a disagreement a while ago, then done the pathetic, “I was not threatening anyone” because he realised he could get banned, not because he was misunderstood, most on here are streetwise enough to know when they are being called out
He still thinks he’s a ticket, a pensioner trying to call out younger, stronger, faster and fitter people, his attitude and choice of words makes that clear, now if I take him up on his offer to meet him, and as I suspect I am required to defend myself from physical assault, whats the chances I’ll be forgiven or even escape charges of GBH ?
Do you honestly think his offer was without menace ?

tonyd may be many things but your way wrong if you think he is a follower of darkness,cantankerous auld bassa maybe, hun not a chance….
tonydonnelly and co. return to base, mission accomplished.
Celtic have been saved from ruination by students and neds.
Tis a glorious achievement.
The day the club saved the ‘image’ by hand-picking the shiny corporate fan base to represent. By plucking the detritus out of the crowd we can now move on and show the world what we are actually all about.
We are about show, we are about image, we are about reputation. Hard earned and harder maintained by the keyboard faithful who represent on social media.
Gone are the days when Celtic was a movement growing together and succeeding in the face of blatant discrimination, giving each other a hand up in a world that detested us.
Because enough of us have ‘made it’.
We can do without any scruff, any neds, any uppity tykes spoiling what we achieved…… back in the day, screw-taps in hand, without aid of public facilities. We got there and we intend to stay, so get tae f**** all you scummy wee neds fae the scheme and from the campus. We are big enough to do without you.
Hurrah for Corporate Celtic!
Neil canamalar…..
I’ll come to the Brazen with you!

slightly confused .com
When the first reports came in regarding damage at Fir Park I was under
the initial impression that around thirty seats were damaged and the photos seemed to show even less.
Howevah, according to the intrepid investigative journalist from the DR today,
200 seats were trashed
Anybody else spot a wee difference here
Hope this gets sorted amicably for everybody concerned!!!!!!

Disgraceful bullying and ridiculing of a fellow poster today, on the back of a crass insulting comment,has plumbed new depths.
Surprised at one or two, who I felt would be above this level of bullying.
Time for a long, break.
Happy Christmas, Celtic fans.
