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.

Do you have a contract ?

What an inspirational player the Livingston and Bradford City legend must be ……..
Jeez what the f**k was that Paddy Power advert all about.
Decent game so far, can’t really blame the lino for the slight offside. Real the better team and deserve to be 1 up.

Please also tell me where I said that I thought it was a derogatory term. Only in Hun’s mind is it a derogatory term. That’s why I agreed with the poster who said that it is a badge of honour. I also agree that Unrepentant should always be used in front of the term. Don’t try and misquote me. I’m not someone who can be bullied by a keyboard hard an who brandies the term “shitebags’ around as you have done in the past.

Check out the clubs history and the turf laying bit, oh and the tricolour flying over the stadium, there would be no tricolour but for the Fenians. The deliberate starvation of the Irish population to try and break their Fenian spirit drove them to Glasgow and formed a club called Celtic.
Are you really a Celtic supporter ? I’d expect most if not all Celtic supporters know at least a bit about our history. It’s absolutely no wonder you object to

Your superiority complex knows no bounds. I would like to bow to your incredible intellect but I bow to no one.

It’s a bit strange, cos as soon as it’s posted it’s liable, but WC does like his games

Michael Davitt was from The Irish Land League. The Fenians were from 1798.

Not liable at all I made that bit up about the lawyers just too annoy posters logging on later, apologies
Reals goal proven to be offside.
Surely technology should be used in high profile matches?
We do know it will never be allowed in Scotland as it would reduce select,sniggering huns chance to cheat us.
Penalty Atletico.
Stonewaller but English commenttators trying to say it was six of one.
They count Bale as one of their own so support Real.
Missed anyway.
Glasgow Celtic
More than a Club.
All inclusive . Open to all.
Assuming that they identify as fenians.
Sadly Celtic harbour our own little coterie of intolerants.
Raging Sandman,

I’m not saying his post was liable just that posting something then deleting it doesn’t absolve you.
Pretty childish to play these little games

The Tricolour bit? Dev presented the Tricolour to Celtic. It wasn’t one of the Fenians who did it. In your world anything to do with Catholic Ireland can be filed under the heading ‘Fenian’. And as for asking me, “Are you really a Celtic supporter?””, I laugh in your face, I spit in your eye. You seem to be knowledgeable about the Arab world, so here’s one for you: May the fleas from a thousand camels infest your armpits. Now stick that where the sun don’t shine.

You are certainly one known for tolerance and all inclusive view on this site.
Atletico Aviacion (Franco’s ex Air Force 1936-39) 0 Real (Franco’s diplomatic corps) 1
Hope the game gets abandoned and the cup with held….
Fuck em both!!
Viva La Quinta Brigada
Having backed Real at half time ,draw full time, my tourette syndrome is now effing kicking in.
Great advantage played by the ref and AM almost score, getting closer
