Justify hooliganism is grossly irresponsible

211

Let’s be clear about this, footballers taking a lap of honour are not liable for hooliganism.  You know this and Police Scotland know it.  Forcing football hooligans to stay behind after a game and watch opponents celebrate, as happened when Newco visited Celtic Park earlier this season, was a poorly thought out police decision, but the police are not liable for hooliganism either.

The match superintendent’s report, made available under Freedom of Information, illustrates that forcing 800 losers watch 59,011 people celebrate is something that should have been considered prior to the match being allowed to proceed with only 800 away fans.

Losing fans at this fixture should be allowed to leave the stadium at full time.  If this cannot be accommodated with away fans getting such a small area of the stadium, away fans should be given an appropriate section of the stadium and egress areas.

This is a new problem and you know who caused it.  Give away fans appropriate egress at both stadiums and the problem goes away.

And while we’re discussing the matter, running headlines which justify hooliganism is grossly irresponsible.  You also know who staged this for the newspaper.

This is why we need to be relentless.  We need to win the League Cup and we need to rattle through the league in December.  Fight fire will irresistible football success.

  1. WITS: It appears real. Duff is a well known Celtic supporter. I don’t know how good he is as a coach but I would definitely welcome it.

  2. Ye know, ye post an observation on the blog, one blogger agrees with you and another comes on and slates you. Ffs no wonder posters are evacuating the blog in their numbers. I post on twitter, this is the only Celtic site I post on. I have since the blogs incepception, but ffs why are so many people so argumentative against fellow supporters they have never met. I honestly wonder why I bother. Paul67 the very best of luck for the future. You know who supports you. HH

    BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL on 27TH NOVEMBER 2018 11:07 PM

     

     

    I feel that too.

     

     

    Every negative factor impacting on , or related to , Celtic is sheeted back to our Board.

     

    Particularly to P.L. who simply does what the Board tells him to do .

     

    If he didn`t , they would give him the boot.

     

    Say what you like about our Board.

     

    They are no mugs .

  4. Weefra,

    No it wouldn`t .

     

     

     

     

    :-)

  6. You don’t mind comments, but snide remarks are a different subject. Tell me one snide remark I have ever put on here since the blog began. Thanks. HH

    From time to time I have been the subject of some less than flattering comments / appraisals.

     

    It`s just a laugh.

     

     

    The rule :

     

    Never be upset by criticism from those who have not earned your respect.

     

    Dead easy .

     

    The others , take on board and reflect .

  9. Weefra

     

    I have had a brief read back and can’t see any snide remarks made to you,also no one is saying any of your comments are snide either

  10. BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL on 27TH NOVEMBER 2018 11:07 PM

     

     

    If you read your post again you willl find that I did not reference some of the items on your list and you have also misrepresented my comments in relation to other matters. So maybe it’s you who is suffering from cognitive dissonance after all :))

  11. MACJAY1

     

     

    I have no problem with anyone who disagrees with any post i make, i dislike snidey, smart arsed comment from people trying to be smart. That is the last thing on my mind when I post, a bit of respect would suffice. Incidentally, her dress was a union flag upturned. If some people were happy with that, their welcome to it. HH

    That`s fair enough.

     

    My solution in that situation is simply ignore and don`t engage further .

     

    Dead easy .

  13. Got chatting to BMCUWP on email tonight and ended up missing my last train and am a wee bit pished now

     

     

    Top man, top new site but:

     

     

    Should be back here as a Red has a definitive term in football; should be same here

     

     

    Hail Hail

  14. Weefra,

     

    You’re having a laugh,so you make assumptions on people being a hun based on the colour of their clothes ,and then get offended when I make a joke about it,aye people will be flocking from.the blog when they read my comment

  15. MACJAY

     

     

    That’s fine, but I hate blocking fellow Celtic Supporters. I’m quite sure I would love to stand beside that guy at Celtic Park next to me in the Main Stand, so why am I so wrong in what I commented? HH

    I hope BMCUW would return if given the opportunity.

     

     

    I thoroughly enjoyed our exchanges from sometimes diametrically opposite political viewpoints .

     

    In fact , I still do .

  17. Weefra,

     

    Never even cottoned on that it was my comment you were referring to,feel free to scroll past my posts and I’ll.make no comment on yours.

  18. GORDYBHOY67

     

     

    There’s making a comment and denigrating someone for an opinion. Up to you kiddo. I’ve never made any discriminatory comments to any of your comments. I hope you have a long and illustrious career posting unobstrusive posts on here. HH

  19. was in having the oil changed in my car today and was standing having a look at the business cards on the cork board.

     

     

    here was the one that hit right away ” coybig tree service”.

     

     

    asked the owner the man is a tim he says but i had to tell him the meaning of the coybig.

     

     

    there you go in meadowvale for all you toronto based tims.

  20. Weefra,

     

    How did I denigrate you by saying I better not wear blue and white in case people think.im a hun,yet your comment that someone wearing a red white and blue dress must be a hun is fair comment?

  21. My favourite colour was always blue

     

     

    Next: brown

     

     

    I wore a green shirt in a promo video for my company in the 90s.

     

     

    My Irish wife was horrified cos it didn’t suit me.

     

     

    What you wear is about how it suits you, not your club

  22. MACJAY

     

     

    Spoke to bmcuw earlier today. He is well and enjoyed his well earned time with his family the past couple of weeks. After 4yrs of fone calls twice a week, we do have some kind of infinity. Lol. He’s some ghuy right enough. ??????HH

    Mate.

     

     

    I copped some caca at a Sydney CSC barbecue for wearing a blue shirt .

     

     

    I went there straight from Mass.

     

    :-(

  24. GORDYBHOY67

     

     

    You missed red. Stop trying to be smart. She was dresed as a hun, others agreed. End of. HH

    We exchange emails .

     

    He needs some political mentoring and re-education .

     

    Which I am happy to provide free gratis and for sfa .

     

     

    Now , if that doesn`t get him back , nothing will .

     

    :-)

  26. Weefra

     

    If you want to judge people by the colour of your clothes you batter on,the fact that one other person partly agreed with you doesn’t make it right,this will be my last comment to you for fear of offending you

  27. MACJAY1

     

     

    I love Mick to bits as does my poor besotted wife. Lol. He is part of the fabric of our life. Speaking this morning he was annoyed that certain posters were using worse language than he did and not getting edited. Don’t think we’ll see him back soon. ??HH

    I think I might know which post he was referring to . :-)

     

    Anyway . Go easy and look for the laughs.

     

    They`re always there to be found.

  29. Macjay,

     

    How do you think things will play out if Mrs May doesn’t get her deal through parliament?

  30. !!BADA BING!!

     

    McCann bought the club in 1994.
