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.

THE NO.13 SHORTS on 28TH MAY 2016 11:54 PM
‘Fenian Army’ is an exclusive term. It excludes Celtic fans who aren’t Fenian, such as Brendan’s own mum for example. Green and white army it is.
……………….
Great post. I had forgotten to make that connection. Of course, Brendan is the first cousin of Nigel Worthington. Why would any Celtic supporter want to embarrass his manager. Canamalar, can you hear me? Wake up! Ach don’t bother, I’m off to bed.
I like the term Fenian, don’t get me wrong. So much so that i don’t think it’s a word to be used lightly. I’d say it was a description of the gaelic irish who refused to bow to an imperialist culture.
We live in strange times ….
We all have to do what we do for a living…….stranger still
strange times…….
Joey Barton to Rangers…..scum guy from a proper scum family and people on here defended him years ago….just because he was a Tim(lol)
hey…..this is only a blog,ey?
What’s with the rye catcher stuff ?
Don’t say that was in the 1.53 pm pose and I missed it
I’m going to see this mob in Inverness later this year

So real Celtic supporters and folk on this blog should condone Pepe’s behaviour in your view ?

You tell me what was posted at 1.53 and I will tell you about Ryecatcher.
No that it matters, both will be a total let down :-)

There is more chance of uefa sanctioning the huns than them taking Pepe’s medal off him.

gftb, ryecatcher is a top of the range cock socket.
Best avoided.
THEGLASGOWCELTICWAY – Thanks chief.
Also if there is any dispute, it’s easy enough to find a solution – the support representatives just have to ask Brendan Rodgers which version of the song he’d prefer the supporters to sing.
I dare say that the manager will go for the green & white version.
It’s no big deal.

Don’t disagree. But i would live to see a point made.
At least the referee made him look stupid.
Nacho Novo type scum in my book.

What is a real Celtic supporter ?
I don’t give a flying fcuk about Pepe or any other tonight, my team is Celtic but you knock your self out and worry about whoever I was more interested in the wee dug in BGT, if Celtic are not involved well my interest has wained. But you feel free to worry about Pepe n co ya muppet …. In my eyes you must be a muppet to get annoyed about a team you don’t even follow, life is far too short Kermit
GFTB – We’re green, we’re white, we’re Fenian dynamite…
Pesky Fenians.

It’s all a joke….a think….pfft
H.h
If you think that the GB or who ever sings at the games will not use the Fenian word and replace it with something else, I would suggest that it’s time for your Horlicks.
Sleep well Timland.
Horlicks taken

Most of the Real supporters I know think he is a twat, but he is their twat and that is the bottom line for them.
We can all justify what we need to if it suits.

I remember going ballistic when Big Georg scored the late equaliser in that first game. I was floating on air when Bayern dispatched them 4-1 in the replay. Athletico are a rogue club. Their behaviour in the final of 2014 against Real was appalling with Simeone on the planet tech challenging a 17 year old Real player to fight. They remind me of another club who have embarrassed themselves when they reached a couple of European finals. They don’t deserve forgiveness for cheating Celtic out of a chance to reach a European Cup a Final. In a Groundhog Day sort of way, I hope they reach the Champions League Final every few years – but never, ever win it – so that they might reflect on the night, way back in 1974 when they cheated, dived, rolled around, kicked Celtic off the park and held both hands behind their back and bowed (ever so respectfully and remorsefully) to the referee before going on and repeating the same ad nauseam.
Don’t forget the phones to Celtic and the threats against Jinky’s life for the second life. I suppose if you can forgive that you can forgive anything.

Hope your ears were burning the other day, a few of the bhoys were talking about CQN11, how the fcuk were you the only whisky drinker at our two tables …. Coatbrig bawbags,

BFDJ says singing hate songs can’t hurt people as it’s only a song.
So would he say that it’s ok to racially abuse say a black person as its only words.
Seriously, what kind of country gives these clowns the platform to spout this garbage.

16 roads, I logged on the day and I think it was The Glasgow Celtic Way that mentioned femian as a badge of honour, I was nodding my head at the iPad, growing as a wee eijit facing their regiments (orange order bullies) my mother used to panic and tell me not to wear my Celtic top, I didn’t wear it to annoy her, I wore it so those cnunts knew exactly the wee fenian they despised….. Born a Fenian and will proudly die a fenian…. The Gladsgow Celtic Way was correct a badge of honour
