Some consistency from Uefa, please

819

Of all the supporter-related offenses Uefa are disciplining football clubs on at the moment the use of lasers annoys me most (with the appropriate caveat for health and safety matters).

Racism, health and safety violations, violence flares are all appropriate reasons to sanction a club but it’s always bothered me that Uefa seem to let the continental fashion for shining powerful lasers into the faces of opposing players and managers was not tackled appropriately.

I was, therefore, pleased to hear Uefa disciplined Olympiacos for, among a rich litany of offenses, their fans pointing a laser at Anderlecht players during their recent Champions League game.  The Greek club have been ordered to close the more colourful part of their stadium for their last 16 game against Manchester United.

It will surprise few of us that despite the Greeks being sanctioned for using lasers, Milan have gone unpunished, despite their fans pointing lasers at Celtic players during our recent drubbing.

These games are supervised and televised from multiple angles.  If the use of lasers attracts a punishment, and it should, the rules must apply without fear or favour.

    Declan? Declan……….? Is it really oor Declan? :-)

  4. Frank Munro….

     

     

    Was at his debut too.

     

     

    Might have been against Deadclub and he had a shocker.

     

     

    That shocker was in fact his best ever performance in the Hoops,as he progressively got worse.He made Willie McStay and Kirk Broadfoot look like Maldini and Baresi.

  5. Anyone know where I can get a hold of the alex o’henley book “forgotten star” before Christmas?

    Sleekit McCoist has been absolutely brilliant. He’s absolutely played a blinder and his contribution in the Sevco shambles should not be underestimated. No doubt about that.

     

     

    Seriously. I know he’s not the – ahem! – brains behind any of this, but he has been absolutely the key player. If it weren’t for his failures they’d have possibly been home and dry. If it weren’t for him the fans wouldn’t have bought shares or season tickets. All the time, he’s on £850k (!!!!!) salary and has 1M shares purchased at discount. The guy deserves a medal from the Celtic fans!!

    RRC,

     

     

    Me too…although…..

  9. When Garner scored his two O.G’s, I’m pretty sure Danny McGrain contributed to the other St Mirren goal by deflecting an otherwise harmless drive into the Celtic’s net.

  12. Goat Ahold o’ Margie’s Laptoap..

     

     

    Look..

     

     

    They Say that Finbogasson is a Five or , mebbe ,even ..a SIx Mlllon Pound Player.

     

     

    Noo, if He is.. Then.. Going by whit we Picked up.. the Last Time we Splashed that Amount of Cash.. It would seem that a Five or Six Millon Pounder , wid be just

     

    the Kinda guy that we are Lookin’ Fur .. tae Solve oor..

     

    Scoring Problems.

     

     

    Fur oor Last Purchases in that Price Range.. Wur, Two very successful. Strikers..

     

     

    To Wit:

     

     

    Chris Sutton and Big Bad John.

     

     

    So it wid seem then..that the Threshold ..fur picking up a Fine Striker, who kin Be a Success wi’ us..

     

     

    Wid .. Start at the Five/Six Million Pound Threshold..

     

     

    N..( Athough, that wid seem tae be a shaky Conclusionl..as. Didnae.. Hoops cost us.. a HeckavA Loat Less?…ed)

     

     

    Eh?

     

     

    Ach ..Ah wull ignore that Interruption.. n Continue…..

     

     

    Any way.. Whit Ah wiz leading up tae..is this..

     

     

    Nooadays.. Five or Six Million Pounds.. wullnae be Near enuff Lolly tae Buy A Striker who is of the same Calibre as.. A…

     

    Sutton or a Hartson..wiz.. way back when.

     

     

    So the Fact that Finbogasson, is in a Similar Price Range, it disnae Follow,at awe..

     

     

    that He Is tae be considered tae be a Top Class Prospect..such as…Chris n John, were

     

    considered tae be, when we signed them.

     

     

    By Nae Means!

     

     

    Finbogasson, still wid be a Colossal Gamble .. at such a “Small” Price… at ,Today’s, Valuation of the Pound Note.

     

     

    And if Anybuddy, should believe it is still Possible tae buy a Very Capable Striker fur that kinda Dough.. Five tae Six Million Pounds..without fear of the risk of wan’s Purchase.. coming up a Big Fat Zero…

     

     

    Needs tae Be

     

     

    Shown..

     

     

    “How the Coo Ate the Cabbages!”

     

     

    Which Ah wid be delighted tae Dae…

     

     

    Fur.. well.. That kinda Money is Noo.. whit is Called ..in the Haunts of the Cognoscenti..

     

     

    “Chump Change.”

     

    in Today’s Inflationary Economy,

     

     

    The Guys who used tae cost …Five Million/ Six Million.. (Way back when.)

     

     

    Noo cost..

     

     

    Twenty tae Thirty Million!!!!!!!!

     

     

    Jist like the Good Cigar, that use tae Cost .. Ten Cents..

     

    IT noo Costs.. Five Dollars!

     

     

    Folks.. Times Change..and We must tak that Intae Consideration.

     

     

    It seems tae Me. the The Celtic Board et Al..

     

     

    Hiv. done that!

     

     

    And..

     

     

    That is why we are Not willing tae Splash the Cash..

     

     

    fur..

     

     

    As has bin well recorded..

     

     

    Every Incoming Player..is a Gamble.. Nae Maitter.. The Cost..

     

     

    That is why Celtic have decided oan their Present Course of Action.

     

     

    which is..

     

     

    “Try tae Identify a Bargain.. Buy Low..and Hope like Hell.. Everything Woiks Oot.”

     

     

    and..so far..

     

     

    It has bin a Fifty , Fifty Proposition..Success, wize.

     

     

    Which, Ah reckon..is

     

     

    Purty Good Odds!

     

     

    Celtic,in Ma opinion, would be Foolish tae Risk..

     

     

    Five or Six Million fur A Player such as .. Finbogasson..

     

     

    Fur..

     

     

    He …like Ah hiv stated.. Is Not in the Same League.. as a Sutton or a Hartson..

     

     

    And……………..If he wiz..

     

     

    HE WID COST.

     

     

    TWENTY MILLION.. and Up!

     

     

    Na..

     

     

    Celtic, should keep oan..

     

     

    Low Bowlin’.. their Transfer Biddings..

     

     

    It wull work ,in oor Favour.. Eventually..

     

     

    This .

     

     

    Icelandic Kid.. May be that ONE… The One we hiv bin alookin fur.. since the Last Wan.. which wiz ..Hoops.

     

     

    Who Knows?

     

     

    if we are deid set oan venturing intae the Transfer Market..

     

     

    Looking fur a Striker . .who wull Score Fur Us, consistently..

     

     

    Ah wid bring in Tomlin.. fur

     

    Ah Like the Cut of this Fellow’s Jib..

     

     

    He is a Hard,Hard Man..

  15. corkcelt- SUPPORTING THE DAM 5 on

    Just one post and back to lurking. Observing HT’s jousts with smokie and Lennon’s Passion reminded me why I opted out. We are better by miles than the Huns, this site is far superior to anything they produce. However there is just one area where I feel Paul could learn from them. When they identify a Tim on their sites, they ban them and block their IP address from creating another moniker. Here no one seems to get banned, the interlopers are allowed to continue to spread their insidious poison and eventually good Tims just get fed up with the nonsense and move away from the site. I know there is a legitimate argument that by banning pests you may be stifling debate and others will recommend to just scroll on by. All very noble but if ’twas my call I’d just kick the f***ers out.

    I have kept an eye on Malky for a wee while now.

     

     

    He is the real deal.

     

     

    Cardiff’s mistake may one day be Celtic’s gain.

     

     

    Not for a few years yet though.

    They are drawn to the light; it’s that simple.

     

     

    It’s a travesty that good Tims stop posting. Remember they are trying to disrupt the blog. Better to stand and be loud and proud Celtic supporters. Nothing annoys them more.

    I love your uncle. So does my son!

     

    He has kept the amazing lyrics and songs of The Clash alive for my Bhoy and his mates. I am sure he had an influence on the Paul Simonen Juve banner. ;)
