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.

GOOD EVENING FRIENDS

I think the score is 4-0 to the good guys, not sure if Canalamar or Morrisey are on a hat trick but pretty sure all 4 have got a few assists
Gerry,
Great news.

Love your moniker
The Res12 bhoys are a total credit to themselves, personally I know the Huns have always cheated, am pretty content in their predicament….. Long may the same flies feel the pain
It’s all about the Hoops for me, as a young Bhoy living through the 80s & 90s we live in good times

The only way the Huns can afford Joey Barton is on a Pay as You Play basis. Every time Mr Barton plays he has to give the Rankers 10 grand
*didn’t another ben affleck toffee have to do the same thing when naesurname was there.

======================================================
Argentinian institutions ,mate.
Political and sporting in particular.
Endemic corruption.
Not too fussed about some of the individuals you mention either.
Messi……..massive tax evasion.
Maradona…..drug addict and drug cheat.
Il Papa…………award to George Clooney…..self publicist…..mmmmmm.
Che ………kangaroo court murderer .
That`ll do for starters.

Oot shortly.

BRTH – another great tale – I have to confess I’ve never heard of Miske, so thanks for sharing that.
My own favourite non-famous but should be famous boxer was a guy called Esteban de Jesus.
True story – in 1981 went to my mate’s flat on a Friday night where we were due to meet up with two likely young ladies with a view to mutual gratification. The girls turned up late, so we had started watching “great Fights of the 70s” with Esteban de Jesus fighting Roberto Duran.
Never saw those girls again.
Fellow Celtic fans good night & God bless… For anybody with one worry in your life you are not alone !
TheBhoyJinky what the fcuk is the point in doing great work for Cqners that have passed, when you can still post ?? Get your stubborn bahookie back on…. P67 you should Barr me for being thick & ignorant (and & a drunk) by the way Fred at least you got the drunk bit correct

The wee green oasis in a sea of orange bigotry.
Where we all know that Livingston Drive produced the most handsome and superior footballers.
I still have a couple of siblings there, and you’d know my family.
Hint. There’s more than a few of us.
Evening bhoys,
any news on Res 12
Back home after a great weekend in the Dear Green Place.
Still Ragin’ about having to be subjected to that orange parade nonsense though.
We are detached to a large degree from that up north, and I had forgotten how much it rips ma knitting.
It’s just embarrassing, nasty, pash, and it should be stopped now. God knows what foreign visitors make of it.
Waste of time, but I am going to write to Glasgow MP’s and City Chambers.
It really must stop.

I would be lost without LMS bank details :-)
Had a great afternoon with the ‘Rutherglen Massive’ in the PV today; what a great place this is…allowing so many handsome ghuys to meet up to discuss all things Celtic and to laugh at all things Sevconian.
St Stivs-still no joy with the handsome hun search ; we pulled resources bit still no result. The search continues…

seems reflective tonight. Roll on next season…Brendan is on the case Bhoys HH
Joey Aristotle Barton is now the best player in Scottish football, according to the SMSM.
Bs.
Five far better footballers:
1. Kieran Tierney.
2. Leigh Griffiths.
3. Paddy Roberts.
4. Tom Rogic.
5. Erik Sviatchenko.
Nir Biton, Stefan Johansen, Mikel Lustig,Stuart Armstrong and Ryan Christie area all better players.
He’s English Championship standard, that’s all.
When Barton last played football in the EPL and also in France, the bloke was an unmitigated disaster.

Hello again all you young rebels.
Catching up as per usual on the blog from this side of the
world, see a lot of discussion about the word fenian, it
always baffled me as a youngster when those lovely people
from the Paisley rd west screamed it at me as i ran home
from a Celtic game, i’d ask my wee da what it meant and he
told me it was really a compliment and the stickies didn’t
know any better, his interpretation of it was that a fenian
was a member of sinn fein and it was the way the Irish said
it when they alluded to someone as a fein yin.
Maybe the Irish bhoys will correct me.
H.H Mick
i tried a very good long post about handsome huns.
it disappeared
like it didnt exist
“Brendan Rodgers, Brendan Rodgers…you have come to lead the Green and White”
The standing section will be somewhat animated next season…
