The word criminality shows they're taking it seriously

I was referring to the police doing nothing other than observing while a crime was being committed. The fact that making arrests would provoke disorder does not really mitigate it. The police are meant to uphold law and order. We are going from policing by consent to policing by CCTV.

That's standard procedure, you're not going to see them wade in heavy handed. 

Not saying anything will be done but charges people get at the football for things like that are almost in the days/weeks after. 

How many times have we seen them move in in on Rangers support(especially away). So police are admitting they observed a crime being committed but chose to ignore it. The sheer number of cops on duty was frightening,dogs,mounted and helicopter yet they can't handle a gang of neds,fucking embarrassing

It's the way they deal with things like this, including how they handle BF1.

I have seen union bears being lifted. Linfield fans were complaining at game about banners,as were psni so cops have a duty to act on complaints. As with cup final the cunts are not fit for purpose. You cannot get near Ibrox with a banner without it being checked,this is all to do with the fenian/victim card where police are scared to go near them,as was said at the time try hanging an effigy of a Tim from Copland stand and see how long it takes krankie's finest to react.

This cannot be highlighted enough. 

Take a piss on the street within eyesight of an officer and they will lift you. They dont just observe. They do something about it.

Thing is is they can't say "we don't have the manpower" 

That raises the question to, well why didn't you cover that in a risk assessment. I mean with the sheer number of Police that can appear during a football match, and if they are thinking "CCTV will get them" well that raises the point that if their scared of going in and causes a ruckus/getting hit, well guess what you've got CCTV.

There's literally no way the police can look good in this situation, they've just stood and watched the law being broke.

As a side note, I'm more than certain the the police has moved the Union bears before.

It wasn't to do with the banners.

Blocking stairwells in this standing zone, aye?

As you say, nothing to do with the banners, which I still hope they get hammered for by UEFA, Police investigation, DUP involvement, and their own 'internal' investigation :sarcasm:

But i'll not hold my breath.

All said and done, Peter must be getting pissed off with them, though ...

CELTIC FC is to close the 'Green Brigade' section of the stadium for the next two matches after serious incidents of unsafe behaviour at the last two competitive matches at Celtic Park.

The Club is writing to the 900 season-ticket holders affected to explain the Club’s position and next steps.

The decision, which has been taken amid serious safety concerns and after discussion with the police, follows events at the matches against Hearts in May and Linfield on Wednesday night.

The safe standing area of the stadium had been working very well until the final game of last season against Hearts, when large numbers of flares were smuggled into and set off under banners within ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ section. It was an incredibly irresponsible and co-ordinated action which could have had tragic consequences. 

The Club understands that consideration was given to halting this crucial game because of the thick smoke, which was blowing across the stadium and into other sections of the support and posed a serious safety risk to all those in the stadium. The fire alarm was activated, resulting in the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service responding to the stadium.

The Safety Advisory Group of Glasgow City Council, which licenses Celtic Park and comprises representatives from the Council, police, fire and rescue, the ambulance service and other statutory authorities, had an emergency meeting after that game and communicated their serious concerns to the Club, which presented a risk to the renewal of the safety certificate necessary for the operation of the stadium and the capacity of the safe standing area. 

The Club has been working with the Safety Advisory Group towards a solution for this season, but the events at the match on Wednesday night, where there were further serious safety issues within ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ section, require the Club to take immediate action to comply with its responsibilities under the applicable legislation.

Safety of all supporters at Celtic Park is of paramount importance to the Club. The safe operation of the safe standing area at Celtic Park requires effective communication and engagement with the supporters in that area. Unfortunately, due to the events at the Hearts and Linfield matches, the Club is not satisfied that ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ section can be operated safely at this time.

The Club will continue to investigate the events at the matches in question and to address the issues that arose. The Club will seek to engage with the supporters in ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ section to re-establish the necessary communication and engagement to permit supporters to be readmitted to the section and for it to be operated safely, in consultation with the Safety Advisory Group. If that cannot be achieved, then the Club will require to examine other options.

Club Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: “The behaviour of fans in ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ section of the ground at the matches against Hearts and Linfield was a serious safety risk, which has left us with no choice but to take decisive action to ensure safety within the stadium.

“There is no room for debate. The safety authorities and the football authorities make the rules. They also enforce the rules. If the rules are broken, Celtic will be punished again and again. There is no hiding place from these realities. Anyone who has Celtic’s interests at heart must surely recognise them and behave accordingly.

“Every club which visits here says the atmosphere is incredible and that is something that we have worked very hard to support and encourage. We cannot understand why supporters who are capable of contributing so much that is positive to the club can be so reckless in doing it damage. In addition to the serious safety concerns, we face further UEFA disciplinary action.

“This is not a decision we have taken lightly, but the behaviour of fans in this section is posing a direct risk to the safe operation of the stadium and is also seriously tarnishing the club’s hard-won reputation.

“Dialogue, engagement and communication with ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ have evidently failed at this time, given the behaviour experienced at these matches, and we are therefore left with no choice but to take action to ensure safety at the stadium.

“We hope that the action we are taking prompts recognition by those fans of the damage being done to the Club and that we can resume meaningful engagement with them which would ensure a safe environment within that part of Celtic Park.”

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said: “It’s really disappointing that we are talking about stadium safety and paramilitary banners rather than our progress into the next round of Europe.

“The fans have a responsibility to behave in the stadium and I would urge everyone involved to see the damage this is causing to the club. Hopefully this is a wake-up call.

“The players thrive on the cauldron that the fans create at Celtic Park but there are clearly boundaries that you can’t step over. Everyone knows that pyrotechnics, unacceptable banners and ignoring stewards who are enforcing basic stadium safety measures are simply not on. I really hope that the fans take this on board. It would be a real shame if they forced the club to take more permanent action to ensure safety and protect the Club’s standing in European football, which is what we should all be aiming to promote.”

 

Hope UEFA close the rest of their cesspit as well , lieswell trying to get wide by doing this , thinking if they do this ,it'll show UEFA they are doing their best . Hope UEFA look at it and say no , enough is enough , close the ground down , wouldny hold my breath mind ye
