Bad Robot 21,148 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Does anyone know if this was one sellick fan attacking another?Broken bottle attacker is jailed for five yearsPublished on 18 October 2014A MAN who left a football fan scarred in a broken bottle attack has been jailed for five years and three months.Paul McCann launched the vicious assault on Caolan Fullerton, 18, who had travelled from Northern Ireland to Glasgow to watch Celtic play AC Milan in the Champions League.The teeanger was making his way back to his hotel when McCann attacked him with the makeshift weapon in the Gallowgate.A judge told McCann, 28, at the High Court in Edinburgh: "This was a thuggish, alcohol-fuelled assault on a young man who had come to Scotland to watch a football match and enjoy himself with family and friends."Lord Boyd of Duncansby said: "The fact is, you inflicted very serious, life threatening injuries on this young man."The judge said he accepted that McCann was remorseful.

Ibroxblue 122 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Not sure though there is some Celtc connection:"McCann had earlier admitted attacking Mr Fullerton with the broken bottle to his severe injury, permanent disfigurement and to the danger of his life and attempting to murder him on November 27 last year.He was granted bail following a court appearance after the incident, with a special condition of a curfew on days that Celtic's first team played matches".http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-29658730 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1872 20,699 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 It's not how it works unfortunately as Taigs are rife in the media and will do everything to they can to hide anything bad about the club or its supporters. They'll probably try and spin that they're the victims here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 How can any journalist in this country look themselves in the mirror or have any fuckin self respect? Everyone knows what the headlines would read if this was an attack near Ibrox after a Rangers game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox 167 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 So tight is the tarrier cartel firewall, that I bet this is the first time most have even heard of this. Compare this with the time a DOG wearing a kiddy fiddler top was attacked, --it was national news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueshoff 11,794 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Your bang on and I read about this on the eventing times website but the daily record had nothing apart from a massive article trying to identify soccer casuals down at Derby, when we played them.Hope the 5/6 Derby casuals got their cnuts kicked in. The only slight blemish on a brilliant day out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 McCann must be a tim! If he's a Bear it would have been splashed all over the place, about him being a Rangers fan, but since it doesn't mention anything about Rangers, he must be a tim..
