What happens if you provide cover for a fan who threw shards of glass onto the Ibrox goalmouth before Joe Hart plays in goal? It happens again. When this occurred two years ago, Newco told Celtic their CCTV system did not cover the area the shards were thrown from. The perpetrator was not identified and faced no consequences. There is no moral hazard to this behaviour.
Matt O’Riley was the one who had consequences to deal with, when a bottle was thrown at him on Sunday from the same area. Missiles were also thrown at Celtic staff in the technical area from the Ibrox main stand, echoing a similar incident two years ago.
You and I have seen enough to know that if you get any 50,000 people together you will get several hundred idiots. Every club has idiot supporters. What’s different is that some clubs and their supporters inhibit criminal behaviour by a combination of CCTV, self-policing, and fellow supporters upholding standards. Others do not take the steps to prevent criminal behaviour from becoming a regular feature.
Celtic, their players, staff, directors and supporters (when 700 were last admitted to Ibrox) are unprotected at Ibrox by the home club, police of football authorities. Newco even went as far as to inform broadcasters they cannot guarantee the safety of Celtic players working at the stadium – a tacit approval of this behaviour.
Two years ago, when CCTV was not produced, Police Scotland should have objected to the stadium licence and Glascow City Council should have withdrawn it. But this is Scotland, this is Glasgow, so nothing will be done.
If it is established that Sunday’s referee, John Beaton, was not shown the camera angle of Alistair Johnston getting a touch on the ball before contact was made with Meryl Streep-Silva, the SFA’s entire VAR system should be wiped out and a fresh start made.
Beaton awarded a penalty, which brought the home club back into the game and ultimately earned them a point. A penalty can be awarded if “the defending player gets the ball first and the officials deem the tackle to be careless, reckless or has excess force.” None of these conditions were met.
We’ll await to see what the SFA say, but if VAR is withholding crucial video from the referee, sack every one of them without delay.
The family of longtime CQN’er, Ron Bacardi have been in touch to let me know Ron – Brian McGinley – passed away. Brian’s funeral takes place at 11.00 this Friday, 12 April, in Penrith. His friends can watch the service here, with login details:

I see in the SMSM this morning Mr CLEMENT having a go at Brendan and others for accusing Fabio Silva for DIVING ?
WHAT Game was HE watching ?
Can the Hun Manager advise us all of what Form of MEDICAL TREATMENT did ” SILVA” require at ANY point in the Match ?
Phil Clement is just another CHEATIN, LYING HUN, I will NEVER have ANY Respect for him whatsoever as he does NOT deserve any respect for being a HUN CHUMP !
HH.
Thanks Bhoys.

…………
I am reasonably okay just now GENE Mate, thanks for asking.
I havent been out since the last CQN Bevvy session on 29th March, but I am waiting on Electricians to arrive at my hoose sometime Today to carry out an Electrical Inspection.
Hopefully, they will arrive EARLY and I can consider going out for some Beers to my Local ?
I will be fixed to the AINTREE Horse Racing on TV from Thursday to Saturday, along with some TV Football so I will be staying at home for at least Three Days starting on Thursday.
I am NOT a fan of watching the Horse Racing in a Pub especially like Aintree, Cheltenham, and the Big FLAT Meetings.
I prefer to be home and listening to any ” TIPS” or advice about the Horse racing on TV…Whether I actually ” TAKE” that advice on board is a different matter ?
Take care GENE Mate.

No hun in Paradise. Ever
………
I AGREE BRRB.
We certainly dont need them wrecking Celtic Park and/or putting our Players, staff and Celtic supporters at risk.
They are Mankie SCUM and VERMIN.
The Celtic Board MUST tell ” THEMS” to Feck Aff when it comes to tickets at Celtic Park.

With the Health and Safety of our players and staff being jeopardised yet again at Ibrox, and recently our fans being pelted with bottles and other objects at Ibrox, this is now the perfect opportunity to let them know that the deal for 2,500 tickets is now off the table.
Keep them out of our Paradise, and accept no tickets for Ibrox.
……….
I FULLY AGREE Mate.
Tell the Hun Vermin to GTF !

Morning all.
I gather Clement is defending Silva by, in part, saying other team’s players dive as well. How does this excuse his player from cheating? Beats me. Of course, the msm here won’t DARE question him; not that many would want to.
Yesterday, Radio Scotland discussed the Celtic Boys abuse case at every news. Did they even mention that Celtic had written about the abuse players and staff received at Ibrox (as usual) on Sunday? Not a peep, I think. And I am not trying to equate the two situations but I feel we need to do something about the treatment meted out to us in Govan. Banning their fans from Celtic Park and refusing to take tickets for Ibrox is a start.
let them know that the deal for 2,500 tickets is now off the table.
agreed
The Donegal tour ends tomorrow. The Vicky Bar/Queens Park Cafe is having a homecoming party for its 4 best customers. 😂😂
Apparently Celtic made representations to Rangers after the game on Sunday and expressed concern about the safety of Celtic players and officials on every visit to Ibrox.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the much publicised agreement between the clubs re 5% away fans is now dead in the water.
PS I also do not doubt that Bada Bing will ridicule Celtic’s approach because they didn’t go armed with a Thompson gun.

If true, I`m glad.
Of course, there were no Away fans at that game so I am not sure how cancelling the 5% agreement helps with the safety of our players and officials at Ibrox.
Sincere condolences to family and friends of Ron Bacardi.
Can I also echo Tom McLaughlin’s wise words regarding prostate health.
Get a check up.
PS Regardless, I would still prefer it if no Huns were allowed into Celtic Park.

Eh? 😂
Tom McL – interesting speculation re: Celtic’s response to Sevco’s lack of.
Makes sense. Reasonable to conflate the two.
“They CAN but WILL NOT protect our players. We therefore have no confidence they WILL protect our supporters”
Any news on the 11 am pitch inspection yet?

Morning again.
“Apparently Celtic made representations to Rangers after the game on Sunday and expressed concern about the safety of Celtic players and officials on every visit to Ibrox”
No point , none of them saw anything happen, even if it was in front of their face 🙈🙉🙊
As for other things making or not making the news ……
Totally predictable.
(Unintelligent, dogmatic types always are BTW)
Am personally enjoying this ramping up of “Sevco have four legs, Celtic have two” messaging.
Clear evidence of fear.
PS – re: the shameless borrowing above from Animal Farm …. don’t forget how that ended up !!!

Apparently Dundee and the SPFL are happy with the state of the Dens Park pitch but Rangers* are concerned that because of how wet the pitch is already, not including any further rain, that Silva could drown when he is shot by that same sniper who was in Ibrox on Sunday
