The umbrella group, Fans Against Criminalisation, issued a statement yesterday (kindly published here by Joe O’Rourke on the Association site) which details a number of events in response to Saturday’s policing on Gallowgate, and the resulting response from the SNP government. Witnesses are invited to give evidence on Saturday (23rd March), with three protests planned next month.
To the relief of all, I’m sure, the statement also records that issues surrounding meetings two organisations had with the Club in November have been resolved.
Our Club and supporters groups are led by the kind of people you would trust with your most precious valuables, as many of us do. They each strive in new and innovative ways to herd cats in the right direction, with remarkable success. The tasks, carried out by hundreds of Celtic fans, of running buses, chasing tickets and navigating the impossible political challenges, is often thankless. I know a few who wonder why they bother.
They bother because they care. The office-bearers dedicate even more time looking after the common interests. There are more Celtic heroes than those who wear the hoops.
I hear Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, has appointed Jeffrey Webb, currently head of CONCACAF, as chief of a newly created Fifa body to fight racism in football. Mr Webb is a director of one of the largest banks in the Cayman Islands, known for its…. unique standards of propriety. Nice.
Quick word for Tommy in Glasgow…. brilliant!

Googy…,
My point is, we have among us quite a few who really do not give a funkeys muck about the Celtic support.
Never really thought I’d need to explain that to a Tim like yourself.
Jimtim , I think you could be correct , P67 has been hinting at this for some time now.

If they were bought from Sasha , you would lose a heel on the way out .
Exactly
Had to walk home with one foot on the pavement and one on the road.
Wow Mario! This friendly is the exception that proves the rule. :-)
Mario should have made it 3-2
Civil disobedience. Something to be said for it. We’ve lost our stomach for a real fight. We’ve had it ripped from us. Soft have we become. Time get seasoned again.
Groups like the gb represent a threat to the status quo. And big brother can’t have that.
Look to Martin Luther king folks. Several thousand Celtic supporters sitting on the gallowgate refusing to move – i would be up for that.
Stand outside city hall all day long no one Will notice or care. Block a highway en masse, let the police be brutal…… You start people asking why.
Feeling militant tonight!
We’re walking like in a Dolce Vita
This time we’ve got it right

Ok get what you are saying.
In many ways the Celtic Board have never giving a monkeys about the Celtic Support.
I do believe that Celtic like all teams have sold out to the Season Ticket and customer environment .
Rather stroll up and pay for my ticket in the Jungle.
Now when I come up I am usually shoved up in the Lisbon Lions Upper tier.
I should add that this issue is bigger than just football and the gb.

Neither have any affinity with the traditional support both are pigs
gordybhoy64-PL is anything but stupid,he is like a politician who can talk the talk,but doesn’t answer a question.The situation re the GB is baffling to many on here,though a few have seen this coming.His actions have been clumsy at best and neglect at worst IMO.I would have thought with SB sales dropping,the GB being the only growth area,it should have been invested in.Instead we have this farcical situation,where our own fans have been abandoned by the Club IMO.I can’t see this being resolved to mutual satisfaction.It seems as if it is being played out the way PL wants.I don’t know what his endgame is.HH

Had my shoes replaced five times by Sasha, my father who thought the shoes were mental anyway took hold of the box one Saturday when I brought back a replacement pair, Took a shoe out the box and said they are made of cork look , And broke another one
I was going to wear them that night,
Is Ernie Lynch a troll that has not been “outed” yet?
Never have I heard such a level of intolerance to other peoples opinions – oh actually I have from such bastions of tolerance as FF, NF, BNP , EDL…..
VP’s flares are so big,you can’t see his Chopper behind him…..
No doubt he’ll maintain his chopper is inside them.
*delete if offended*
It is easy for me to say that is time for protest when I live in Manchester.
I was in a pram being marched to marched to Faslane in the 60s. CND
Have been in many since.
This is not about stopping stopping sectarianism it is about control and sanitisation.
Let us see how ma y Orange Walks are kettled in the summer.
2nd chance for Mario to make it 3-2

A chopper, poor excuse for a bike :0)
bada…
The endgame is to attract the hun corporate customers, sanitisation is to ensure “they” are not offended, have predicted before and will repeat for your benefit, the sash will be blasted out by corporate Celtic season ticket customers within the next decade.
I completely agree with most other posters, what Tommy did to Sandaza was immoral and tasteless and could end up causing an innocent and naive guy his livelie. Can anybody point out if there are any legal Implications in carrying out this kind of “prank”. Just asking like.
HH.
Bada bing , his end game is getting out of Scotland , hence no controversial songs.

Fabiani is not in the cabinet.
There are no Catholics in Salmond’s cabinet.
There’s never been a Catholic in an SNP cabinet or shadow cabinet.
But it’s not because they have anything against Catholics.
It’s just that they haven’t found one good enough yet.
Neil thank u for ur reply . I along with thousands of celtic fans appreciate the contribution made by the GB. I had the pleasure of being in a restaurant in norwich and being surrounded by norwich city fans , who were more excited at seeing the celtic support than they were on the game , The celtic support are an attraction in their own rite , and that barcelona display will live with me forever . But my friend like other clubs we do have some unsavoury moments . As i said i feel something is driving on our board to act in this manner , it may be a requesite to moving on from this stinking country
Jimtim
Nada , P67 has been hinting for months now , something is going on behind the scene.

He has got some superb footwork for such a big lad but has a dicky temper!
Ticketbus,
Aye that’s right, and the band played believe it if you like.
The only place the folk songs would be found offensive would be England, are you telling us England is the only destination being considered ?

‘Haud on a wee minute – this is becoming a twisted argument.
Are some bloggers really saying that they can’t see any legitimate circumstances under which Celtic would be entitled to ban any supporter???’
I said I couldn’t think of any behaviour which would justify Celtic banning a fan which wouldn’t have left the fan liable to immediate arrest.
The only suggestion anyone has come up with so far is someone sitting in the wrong seat.
I’m not sure if that was meant to be a serious suggestion.

What is happening here is the biggest scandal in the recent history of Celtic post Fergus.
Celtic actively targeting one group of fans, after countless lies and spin, they now admit they have been passing details onto the police without a word of warning to the support or the individuals concerned, and now we have the disclosure that they are actively looking to get banning orders, what is going on!
Heads should role over this, who ever is in charge of PR at Celtic needs there haw maws well and truly toed!
Hey, never mind the LNS verdict its okay bhoys nothing to see here move along please, we have some of these GB bhoys to crucify………….so much for the much vaunted custodians of our club, and we are supposed to trust these people..
I truly dont know where we go from here, earlier today i thought that the club admitting this was a good thing, now after a few hours of contemplation i now feel extremely angry, that these people could actually behave like this towards a section of our support, is this what we have become, are we really a special club, how can we be when we see this is as a valid policy, is it payback because we forced the board to say no to Newco with all the financial implications that held?
The anger i feel when i think of the Gallowgate on Saturday, the harassment and criminalization of our support the board aiding and abetting behind closed doors, anyone now who actually think that they haven’t needs to waken up fast and get their head out of the sand before its too late, there is a backlash coming and hell mend the culprits who have allowed this to happen.
I have never felt so detached from the club in a long long time.

God sake Paul67! Drop the Labour propaganda for once!

Labour propaganda?
Where?
I went back to reread, even between the lines and I’m bemused befuddled and bewildered.
