Another day another Uefa fine for crowd-related transgressions, the umpteenth in recent years. When we went to Seville we knew you could take tens of thousands of Celtic fans anywhere, secure in the knowledge they would make friends with police and locals alike. That reputation’s gone, the Fifa and Uefa awards, relics.
The world appears to have its share of Pussy Rebels. Someone who will tarnish another’s reputation (in this case Celtic) but not have sufficient courage in their convictions (in this case their right to break Uefa rules) that they will do so in their own name, accepting consequences accordingly.
The internet is full of them too, keyboard hard men who will carry a campaign to the ends of the earth, as long as it doesn’t leave a trace of identifying information. If their name gets out, they will run 100m in the opposite direction of their declared stance, faster than Usain Bolt at am Olympic final. Pussy Rebels, every one of them. Lots of people have crazy/offensive/just plain wrong views, but manage to put their names to them – nutcases, but Tiger Rebels.
If you have a view, or way you like to enjoy a game of football, stand up for it.
The incidents in Zagreb pale into insignificance compared to the mini-bus attack which left a child injured before the League Cup semi-final. That wasn’t a rule transgression, it was proper violence.
A few days after the incident I wrote I was concerned there had been no arrest. Despite the overwhelming outrage among Celtic fans and others, and the damage done to the victim, the reward money is still unclaimed. Do the proper thing, report the crime and claim your reward. We have a reputation worth putting your name to.
Not sure how things will go (on the field) tomorrow night. Celtic have an incredible record in the San Siro over 90 minutes, four draws and I think only a couple of defeats? A win would see us into the last 16, it’s a huge ask, but don’t bet against Ronny.
Farewell James Easdale, we’ve loved your work.
My thanks to Andy Coyle. Don’t know him from Adam, but he called me out of the blue, met outside Celtic Park, and put £100 in my hand for our Mary’s Meals appeal. God bless the Celtic support.
On the subject of which, you know you’re dealing with someone special when you learn Lisa Hague, Kris Commons partner, bought a ticket for CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner. She’ll be helping out too, more on that later. After the dinner we have Packy Bonnar, Joe Miller, Tommy Coyne and the one-and-only Tom Boyd, with Archie Macpherson speaking about Jock Stein and Patricia Ferns on song.
Let me know if you still need a ticket, celticquicknews@gmail.com

BGFC…agreed very disappointed. Away to drown sorrows.
Arsenal defence is porous
That Monaco are technically brilliant …….. Commentators silenced
Embarrassing bias and total disrespect to Monaco from Gary Neville.
Think he said Monaco without 5 regulars….
#bestleagueintheworld…
Commentator thinks there are still goals in this game for Arsenal …….., think it’s an English thing
Re Michael Davitt laying the sod at Celtic Park. The original sod was stolen and gave rise to a poem that starts as thus.
“The curse of Cromwell blast the hand that stole the sod that Michael cut; May all his praties turn to sand – the crawling, thieving scut.”
67 heaven
Still goals in it …not necessarily for Arsenal
5 top players missing from Monaco.Oh dear.

Extremely disappointing though it would be – you may well be right. Was saying on here a couple of weeks ago – hard enough being responsible for bringing your own children up with decent values, without trying to project them on to people you have never met.
I just find it really hard to see how anyone brought up in and around the Celtic culture could associate themselves with this type of thing – very sad if true.

Just check that page out. Looks like huns “at it” to me. If any genuine Celtic fans are involved then they are morons. Either way, it’s been reported to FaceBook for hate speech.
THAT was unlucky for Arsenal there…..beautiful pass

Think we can only hope it’s a Hun scam
Very disappointing if it’s not

It looks like it mate – but either way it needs to be tackled ASAP. I’ve written to the SLO to draw his attention to it and suggest Celtic need to issue a cease and desist instruction (if possible) ASAP.
Obligatory red card for A. Madrid!
Ten minutes to go and Gary Neville realises Monaco are the better side.
Just watched the first hour of last week’s game and only now appreciating our lead up play to our first goal. The fun started on the 22nd minute with our now infamous rendition of The Soldiers Song. We break up an Inter attack on 22’55” and then string together 15 consecutive passes before Adam’s slide rule pass to Stuart to knock it home. Fantastic football.
Mind you we’re still a goal down….. ;-)
Jobo, But not for long.
Corkcelt,
He said ‘Soldiers song’

I remarked on it at the time. We moved the ball all the way through the team.
It is a wonderful team goal.
Oft. Tidy
When apples still grow in November
When blossoms still bloom on each tree
When leaves are still green in December
It’s then that our land will be free
I’ve wandered the hills and valleys
And still through my sorrow I see
A land that has never known freedom
And only her rivers run free
Sucka punch
Monaco restore their deserved two goal advantage, a tremendous counter attacking performance.
‘Arsenal really should be horsing teams like Monaco…’

Bada,
Yer a cheeky monkey :))

They really believe their own arrogance wrapping up their ignorance.
Not too bad, Malorbhoy will feel a lot better tomorrow if we stuff Inter.
Paused it to go to the wee Bhoys room …..no sooner back than Monaco get a third ……it’s in the coaching …..the Continental teams are leaving the EPL behind
EPL ………. P3 W0 L2 D1 F3 A6 Pts1.
