Ronny Deila is wasting his breath when trying to warn those who throw pyrotechnics that they damage Celtic’s reputation. That fact is already well established but is irrelevant to those for whom throwing pyrotechnics is part of their football experience.
There is a clash of culture here. ‘The Man’, whether that be Uefa or the Health & Safety Executive, forbids pyrotechnics at football, but the consequences are visited on Celtic, not those who bring the pyrotechnics. No one has been brave enough to put their name to the pyrotechnic culture and I suspect no one ever will.
The last 24 hours has been a huge success for this unclaimed culture; it managed to grab some of the little space alongside the David Bowie news on Radio 5Live this morning, and many other places, adding fuel to the fire, if you pardon the pun. Someone is glowing with an “I did that” sense of achievement, although, of course, he’d never say so openly. It will continue unless the consequences are moved away from Celtic.

Flares eh?
Meanwhile Celtic fans pay into the SFAs flagship competition by going to the game and watching via subscription,the same SFA that gave Rangers a license to cheat and thwart attempts for justice and the same broadcaster who will do it’s best to help the lies and cheating.
I wonder how many will witness the flares at Hampden should Celtic reach that stage or will we be too busy witnessing a stitch up on the park?

“Easter 2016 represents a special time for the people of Ireland and the members of the diaspora overseas. The Centenery of the Easter Rising will be commemorated throughout Ireland and indeed abroad.
Given the unique relationship between Glasgow Celtic Football Club and the island of Ireland a number of posters on the CQN Blog have organised an evening on Saturday the 26th of March 2016, from 9pm until Midnight, at Craobh Chiarán, GAA Club, Parnell Park, Dublin 5.
There will be an entry fee of €10, to cover music, waiting staff etc. Any surplus monies will be donated to the Kano Foundation.
This is a non party political event and the intention is to provide a venue where people can meet during the Commemerations in Dublin, next year and relax among fellow Celts, irrespective of their backgrounds.
We have been touched by the generosity of many in donating their time and expertise to help make the event possible and by the large number of emails from people who intend to travel, many of whom have never visited Ireland before, or who have not visited in years.
Dublin next Easter will be a special place and we would be delighted to welcome as many as possible to our 2016 Dublin Hootenanny.
For further details please mail, dublin2016@mail.com.

Yeah, you may well generate a lot of cash from the resurrection of old firm bigotry.
But it will be at a human cost of stabbings, slashings, and extreme violence.
If that is the kind of thing the PLC is happy to condone to achieve their blood money bonuses.
Then, they have no principles and deserve contempt.
Quite happy to toe the hun media line and slate the Celtic support.
But have fecking nothing whatsoever to say about the corruption in Scottish football, and the sectarian anti-Celtic media agenda.
Calling out smoke bombs and flares….but ignoring horrific bigotry and sectarian violence.
Smokescreen.

Ooooops
Apols for the double post. Usually tells me if I’ve already posted that cos I’m a fat-fingered technophobe…
Awe here we go, here comes the diversion, the politics, the SFA, the SPFL, the Huns, aye, right right, we know all that, but it’s not the point and won’t solve the problem of yesterday’s stupidity from the GB, what part of that don’t you get?
In and out
Try to be
What you see
Anarchy
Everything, everyone, everyman
Rebellion
But you can’t make a move
If you win then you lose
Look at me to approve
You’re so hard, you’re so real
You got nothing
Who laughs last?
A question, not a task
I ask,
What’s your reason,
Do you believe in anything?
I don’t wanna how you’re so driven
I don’t wanna know your influence
I don’t need to prove myself
I just need to be myself
It doesn’t show how I’m trying to be
It just shows who I am
Gone,
Take your packaged rebellion
Move on,
Revolution on your sleeve
If you say, mean it
If you mean it, do it
You can’t live your life through me
Gone,
Take your packaged Rebellion
With the air you breathe
Look around
No one cares
Who you are
Why or where
You’re so blind, you’re so dumb, you’re so deaf
Like a gun
That you can’t even shoot
To the point that is moot
And you don’t have a clue
You’re so hard, you’re so real
You got nothing
Who laughs last?
A question, not a task
I ask,
What’s your reason,
Do you believe in anything?
I don’t wanna hear how you’re so driven
I don’t wanna know your influence
I don’t need to prove myself
I just need to be myself
It doesn’t show who I am trying to be
It just shows who I am
Gone,
Take your packaged rebellion
Move on,
Revolution on your sleeve
If you say it, mean it
If you mean it, do it
You can’t live your life through me
If you do it, live it
If you live it, say it
Action is the air you breathe
I saw your act, it came and went
As flaccid as an ex-president
Your ideas are out of place
It’s anarchy with a friendly face
Rebel, rebel, don’t regret
Screw ’em every chance you get
We have been told that a banner was being used to hide the perpetrators of the serious flare throwing incident. Can anyone confirm that this was the case? Was this then the work of a particular group? If so, it should then be a simple matter to identify those who continue to smear the name of decent Celtic supporters by this type of idiotic behaviour.
Quite apart from whether the songs sung were sectarian or not, there is the question of whether we should have moved on by now and have left behind pro-IRA songs. Surely we should seek peace and understanding among all by not using football to harp back to tragedies that happened years ago and which in many cases did nothing but cause harm and death to many innocent people.
Incidentally what people do elsewhere is irrelevant so long as there are those who besmirch the good name of the majority of Celtic supporters. Let’s get our own house in order first.

Are smoke bombs and flares the real problem in Scottish football?
I dont think so.
Like i said….the PLC are quick to condemn Celtic supporters for smoke bombs and flares, but are strangely silent on the cheating and bigotry of the huns.
Whats more important?
HH
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re all doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

100% agree Ronnie is wasting his breath. 100% those that are doing this are cretins – I can kind of see the attraction as a young lad innocently doing it once…I just cant get my head round knowly costing the club £000s in fines by repeating it with such defiance – unless I’m missing something and it is an act of protest?
Very selective topic and again reads a lot like Lawwell sounds. Do you think John Collins is wasting his breath banging on about Old Firm and the need for Rangers in the league?

Most of the ‘Ultras’ (snigger) will probably be reading these posts as they skive off at the back of a Monday afternoon Geography class.
But that shouldn’t prevent us from noting that these spectascular public displays of defiance cannot be wholly condemned without recognising the culpability of Police Scotland, a rancid collection of Boolin’ club huns who have systematically alienated the young Celtic support, evidentially harassing them in public places and hounding them to their homes for singing Irish songs.
The SNP and Police Scotland have created their own ‘Vietnam’ here, blinded by their own inherent bigotry, frothing with generations of inbred anti-Irish hatred.
A few rebel songs and a pyro is enough these days to elicit headline news? How over-sensitised a compliant Scottish media have become to the Hun agenda. Chick Young and media patsies like him – flunkies for the bitter Orange bastards clinging onto 16th Century ethics in 21st Century Scotland. It’s pathetic.
I don’t condone the kids’ behaviour but there’s no reasonable perspective offered in this twisted wee country.
Emdae read the Ugly Game???

Aye, but if they can only get one of the games on TV……..what kick-off time will Sky set for the match at Ibrox?
Judith just gave the weather report there, anyone tell me what it’s going to be like tomorrow as I was distracted…
The Green Man,
As you seem to condone the smoke bombs and flares. I assume that you have stood among the perpetrators and everything has been hunky dory.
There is a difference between standing ( or even worse ) sitting among them, than watching the behaviour from the other end of the park or the pub or the TV.
At the very least do you not think that they are irresponsible and do our reputation no favours.

And while I’m at it my life as a Celtic supporter is very important , and I am not to happy about my old age pension money I put by every week to pay for my season ticket next year, being used up on paying fines for these little farking idiots , to act like Huns .
thomthethim for Oscar OK on 11th January 2016 12:57 pm –
As it is now unsafe to self police, as was reported earlier, then the ultimate measure would be for the club to refuse to handle away tickets. If home clubs wanted to sell directly to Celtic fans, then by all means; but let them also be responsible on who receives them. –
=============================================================================
I agree, and said so on here last night when I returned home.
I will be quite happy to make my own arrangements if by doing so it eliminates these people who are behaving in a selfish manner and providing SMSM a welcome distraction from the Sevco circus.
Paul 67 is correct in his opening piece,these guys will not listen, that said, it was evident where the bother was going to start, so why do the Police stand on the perimeter and allow it to develop??
Trouble spots can be identified early and easily in each ground,it has already been announced via the Huddleboard that as Sunday was so successful the ” Shed ” at Tannadice will be more of the same,now if this is common knowledge then surely avoidance action can be taken,or there again is this justification for Police cuts avoidance, and creation of overtime ?
These idiots might think they are showing ” The Man ” who the Boss is, but really they are not,and are damaging Celtic in the process.
Didnt want big C C at Celtic but was impressed with his input yesterday!!

Let’s face facts – pro-rata, there are as many ***holes among our support as there are in the huns.
These people are the dregs of society and could cause trouble in an empty house – they are nothing but selfish and stupid ***tards.

-========================================
An American term for an all encompassing description for Authority, in our case, be it Police,SFA even our own Board.
Well played Celtic yesterday, I listened to the game on Radio Scotland and it made me laugh to hear the commentators crank up their excitement anytime Stranraer crossed the half-way line with the ball.
I hope Ronny plays Gary Mackay-Steven on Friday night. It would do him good to be involved in a match where he’s being barracked by the home support. Take his mind away from the expectations of Celtic fans.

This is a chance for the hun media to sidetrack from the recent sevconian chorus of their fav wee song.
And id say they have been pretty successful.
Yeah….attack a few GB kids who should know better.
But ignore the sheer hatred of the sevconian mob.

It has been alleged that in 2012/13 and 2013/14 the SFA’s ball warming machine was on the blink and was subsequently replaced for 2014/15.
They also may have messed up rigging the draws…

Flares and smoke bombs etc etc are a horrible addition to football and spoil a good day out imho.
When i go and watch the local side here it’s the “Norm” luckily i’m up the other end from where they normally go off.
Where do they get hold of them is the question i’d like answered, because to purchase them in most eastern block country’s you have to show your ID and its marked in the shops book.
(purchased from fishing tackle shops/Gun shops)
I would imagine it must be more difficult to purchase these things in britland?
