Being responsible is not always easy, especially when it comes to running a football club, where playing to the gallery offers vastly better short-term returns, and no doubt a rush of endorphins.
If your fans are engaged in an activity which regularly brings them to the attention of the courts, and your club into disrepute, it doesn’t matter what you think of the apparent offense. You may chant an offending song in the shower every morning month, but your only public comment on the matter can be to chastise and urge fans to desist.
Clubs in Scotland voted against what is known as strict liability. This means they are not held responsible for transgressions by their fans – and who wants to be held responsible for the actions of others who protected from personal liability by hiding in a crowd.
Part of the deal on not having strict liability is that clubs must demonstrate that they take all steps necessary to dissuade and educate their fans from carrying out criminal or regulatory offenses. It’s simply not possible for club to tell fans their illegal actions were justified, as this would place the club itself in the firing line.
The nonsense following the Scottish Cup final is all background noise as far as we are concerned, but be aware the contagion will spread beyond those you could consider highly dysfunctional operators.
Solving Kids Cancer in memory of Oscar Knox
Our own Bundoran Bhoy will run the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday on behalf of Solving Kids Cancer. He has put in an enormous amount of work ahead of the event, for a cause which you are only too familiar with.
26 miles is a long way to run. You can give him some encouragement on his Just Giving page.
Good luck, Tommy.

A big welcome from a five in a row going for 6 Coatbridge
If you love the hoops, this is the place to be, fellow Celtic fan
DAVID1958…
Welcome mate, you picked some time to log on, we’ve got Clunks away to watch a porn channel and ACGR running about with a stauner with a onesie on.
Anyways, enjoy posting mate as it took me a long time to break the ice and come on here. HH
ACGR
Dont worry about it mate. Its Friday and we have had very little to complain about this week.
Funny miscommunication made even funnier with my repeated mentions of your stauner………..

Friday night on CQN has always been a lively affair!
Sure those that once posted here but are no longer able to look down from above and remember fridays as they once were.
Hail Hail to our departed friends.
Stauners, porn and onesies to those that are still here!
Not too many have commented on this video from `87 .
Underlines hun double standard.

Let the people sing
Questions for Mr Robertson:
1. Why sing BB song at all?
2. What purpose does it serve?
3. Apart from possibly Hearts, would the supporters of any other club have invaded the pitch in response to the Hibs fans?
Love clunks see David hasn’t responded yet me I have a feeling he’s a current

Recent reports of rankers fans fighting with police tostop them getting back into hampden bring back memories of this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbSMnlZvr50
Rangers fans charged over attack on police at 2008 Uefa Cup final in Manchester
These f@ckers have very short memories its seems

Hope you and the whole family are well……
In our virtual boozer are you happy with BR ?
However after the recent rangers directors statement that they would rather their fans would sing songs rather than riot
https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2011/apr/30/rangers-chanting-uefa-celtic
Was it a separate company or club that got fined for singing baned songs?
Feckers the lot of them
CLUNKS…
Here Here, kip time for me, enjoy the night howling. HH
Has the directr questioning the fines recently been appointed to another club? #sunderland
macjay1,
Just watched that video. Last weekend was absolutely magic. It was Tremendous that Hibs broke that long barren spell against the Overwhelming Favourites, on that day.
No No No, theres no limits.
There is no way I’m posting a 2unlimited track :)
A wee track for the plucky Newco.

It’s obvious RC is the Good guy. ;))
So what about a New club Clubbed to Death.
It’s a conspiracy, in a Classic sense.

Must say , mate.
I celebrate every example of their warped distorted mentality.
I see an analogy with the poor white trash of the Southern States who only had African Americans to look down on.
Hence the K.K.K. , an organisation now virtually defunct because of the general acceptance that it was founded on naked racism .
I hope that this will be the non future of the Orange bigots.
To call them an ” Order ” just suggests that the are a religious Order.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Welcome to Celtic, Glen Driscoll.
I hope these words of wisdom will encourage Tom Rogic in deciding where his future lies……..
“Motivation is everything.
It doesn’t matter how fast you are or how far you can run, if you don’t switch that on, it’s not relevant.
The importance of switching the right muscles on at the right time in order to enable you to perform in context to a game is vital.”

We are many years behind the ridicule of the KKK.
But we are, without a doubt, on a path to have that organisation thrown out of societies thinking

I read that interview earlier.
We have really took a step up in class with our recent appointments.

=============================================
Thank you for your good wishes . All great.
Absolutely delighted , mate.
After the debacle of the semi , and the negativity surrounding our representatives ,both in the dugout and the Boardroom (whether it was justified or not ) , I revel in the new found optimism and what appears to be UNITY.
By and large, :-)
Hail Hail , Gerry.

Good to hear from you , pal.
It really has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions these last few weeks.
A new page turning.
With any luck , a new book.
Hope all is good with you.

Re. the dobs. and their choons.
You`re liable to have the police arrest you for it in Ibrox. ( Mebbe )
You`re liable to have the police protect you for it on the streets of Glasgow.
Injustice writ large.

The Tide it is indeed turning
Catholic Education has kept people humble. We can argue about certain things, and all sorts of things, one thing I thank the Almighty Lord for is my upbringing. I have been incredibly Lucky there.
I love reading eddies stuff because it is happening before us. Leave The Almighty oooot, not Great.
I know Mrs O’Hara was praying for me All the Time, I can’t explain that. I never even met the old Lady.
That is Powerful.
I was hoping the newco would start being Humble. Obviously not.

=======================================================
If Tom decides to head off , I would be seriously put out .
We have accorded him years of care to get over his long standing injury problems.
I can think of another fellow who saw his future elsewhere under similar circumstances .
I think Karma caught up with him.
