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

Not sure what is more offensive. The hordes and their song book at large last Friday or BT sports arrogant, ignorant and ill informed response.
I wonder what our esteemed director (and former BT CEO) the good Barron of Parkhead would make of being called a Jewish Fenian bastard or similar and then being kicked off a show he was due to be on because he might offend the viewers ?
I am not holding my breath for any intervention from this useless ( to Celtic IMO) board member.
Bada bing – all the sanctions and fines we’ve received from Uefa relate to incidents at matches in Uefa competitions.

Just received a scam from iTunes so watch out bhoys n ghirls
Boating Europe for 28.99
I was at the semi final against Sevco… I watched from the main stand corner flag area, seen the smoke bombs go off and a couple of wee guys run from where it went off and make for a couple of rows down… I spotted them… CCTV then get the Polis in.. canny would cause more trouble. The one I saw had a scarf covering his face..
They are just wee D….s
Causing us a lot of harm..and we don’t have any sympathy from anyone in this country…!

————————————————————
Nope they dont get done in fact most of the clubs owners encourage it.
I was unfortunate enough to take in a Istanbul Derby !!!!!!!! never seen a thing smoke/flares round 4 sides of the ground, i understand now why it’s so cheap to go to a game in the bul………………………………………….you see FH**K ALL.
The Pussy Rebels would be a great name for a band – I expect them to appear any time soon.
BT Sports levels of denial.

Warning. . Legitimacy of someone’s birth called into question.
I’m sure the fine is for crowd trouble at half time in Zagreb
According to Eurosport, Celtic have been fined £7,300 by Uefa following crowd disturbances during their Europa League group stage match against Dinamo Zagreb.
The fine was for the flare and the polis reaction to it. Listening to shortbread earlier and they seem to have thrown off the silence adopted towards football related news as soon as an anti Celtic story became available. Still no mention of racism belted out live on TV this month.
Castlebhoy
If you contact me then I will only be too happy to help you out.
If you want peace and quiet with no discos and plastic pubs I would suggest Gozo, same size as Arran, 20 minute sail from Malts, 4 euro return.
Big Festa there in Xaghra in September.

Good evening friends
Skybet giving 4/1 for arsenal and Athletico double tonight after giving 5’s last night for the winning double
Packie Bonner calling for Griffiths up front.
Anyone else agree? I thought the Italians handled him comfortably.
It’s odd isn’t it? Celtic fans with a list of charges against us, could potentially end up.playing behind closed doors at some stage….
Yet other than games against DeadCo there are few places that I spend my social life that I feel safer or less threatened than at Celtic Park. I’ve taken my children there many times from they were very young. Mixed with fans of other clubs, domestic and foreign outside and never felt any fear….
Whatever else about the flares (which I do not like) and banners (which I don’t really see a problemwith) it’s just frigging mental where football is at right now…
From BT regards sectarian singing.
Hello ________________
Thank you for contacting BT Sport about the issue of sectarian chanting. We appreciate you taking the time to get in touch with us.
We recognise that inappropriate behaviour by fans at live sporting events has the potential to cause offence. We try to prevent this by, for example, adjusting microphone settings so that offensive chants are less likely to be fully audible. We did this for the Raith Rovers v Rangers game on Friday evening.
We need to strike a balance between putting in place this kind of measure and ensuring that home viewers can feel the atmosphere of the game they’re watching. We’ve reviewed our broadcast of the Raith Rovers v Rangers match and don’t believe offensive chanting was easily discernible by most viewers.
Nevertheless, we do take on board your views and shall continue to pay close attention to this matter for future broadcasts. We’ve made clear that as an organisation we won’t tolerate racism or sectarianism.
Best wishes
BT Sport Team
