Apparently not only did Rangers fans piss on Valencia fans, but now also pelted them with glasses and stoned the Valencia team bus!!! :lol:

The muppet can't even post a credible link to back up his claim about the Rangers fans in valencia.It is just made up lies and desparation.There was not one bit of trouble outside or inside the stadium from what i could see.Let them wallow in their own bitter pish.WATP.GIRFUT.

There was one small incident in Valencia that I almost got caught up in, I'm not willing to post it on the open forum though, I don't wana take the chance of the tims or any media lurkers pouncing on it. It was quite unsavoury

They displayed an anti poppy banner in scotland where there are thousands of Scottish soldiers Are over in Afghanistan etc.

so i really don't know what these fanny's expected everyone to do. & i'm sure there were people in the Celtic support who either know people in the army or have family in it.?

And to make things even worse for them, the 7 Celtic players who were at the Battle of the Somme.

it's a joke that timmy are trying to worm there way out of this,by bringing up something the rangers fans have supposedly done in Valencia.???

How would they know this,were they there trying to stir up trouble,seems this way because i haven't heard of anything.?

And they can't possibly compare this to what they have done. ?

The sweep machine will hit overdrive. I will be very suprised if Celtic ban those actually responsible.

i don't think it has been sweeped. I have read storys on sky news and even articles in south africa about this.

if Celtic don't ban them then i will say they have sweeped this under the carpet.

Dallas appears to be without reproach. He can lie, send racist emails and do just about anything he wants.

Racist? <cr>doh

Nothing surprises me with that scum. The Celtic Board know exactly who sits there as it was the Celtic Board that put them there. They will do nothing though much like they did nothing with the nutter who chucked a lighter at Fernando Ricksen, or who chucked a phone at the Rangers doctor, or chucked coins at Hugh Dallas, or threw bananas at Mark Walters. I could go on!!

It's a slap in the face of the Royal British Legion, any soldier currently serving in Afghanistan, any soldier who has served and fought for Great Britain, the families of those who have lost loved ones and anyone who generally respects and supports our armed forces. Banning orders aren't enough, as this scum will still spread their pathetic, illogical hate through some other outlet. Any person connected to designing or displaying this pathetic attack on the men and women protecting THEM, should be bought up and fined through a court of law and then shipped off back to the hole in which they came from.

CELTIC last night vowed to ban yobs who held a shameful anti-poppy demo at Parkhead.

Club chiefs admitted they were "embarrassed" by the morons who insulted the memory of Britain's war dead at their stadium

A series of seven banners reading "Your Deeds Would Shame All The Devils in Hell. Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan. No Bloodstained Poppy on Our Hoops," were unfurled at half-time.

Club chairman Dr John Reid, a former Defence Secretary, was said to have been deeply offended.

SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster said the display was "regrettable".

He added: "We would welcome the fact that Celtic have moved quickly to apologise for any offence that has been caused."

It is thought that extremist members of ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ fans' group were behind the stunt.

They have already vowed to boycott Celtic's match against St Mirren at the weekend when players from all SPL sides will wear poppies on their shirts St Mirren will have a minute's silence before the game on Remembrance Sunday.

A similar tribute was marred by a small group of Celtic fans at Falkirk last season.

St Mirren general manager Brian Caldwell said: "Surely we wouldn't be doing the right thing by having a minute's applause and therefore cause more criticism?

"We have been having a minute's silence here for years."

Last night the dad of a hero Celtic fan who was killed serving in Aghanistan hit out at the louts who staged the protest.

Billy Monkhouse's son Stephen, 28, right, was killed while with the 1st Battalion Scots Guards in Helmand. Billy, 51, showed dignified restraint when he said he was "disappointed".

He went on: "Having lost my son in Afghanistan in the British Army, we would like to think that the families of everybody would be supporting the British Army.

"We are not wet enough behind the ears to think that everybody is going to support the British Army but I'm a bit disappointed to find out that it was Celtic supporters, of which Stephen was one.

"When he was home Stephen would be at Celtic Park - if he could have got a ticket that is.

"I think we as a family are disappointed that they have chosen that aspect and that route to go down."

Celtic's own stadium rules prohibit political demonstrations.

The club's travel partner Thomas Cook have been in touch with the club because their name was visible above the banners.

Charity PoppyScotland has also described the banner as "disrespectful" but chief executive Ian McGregor added: "I don't believe for a moment it reflects the views of the overwhelming majority of Celtic supporters."

The charity called on Scots to "donate as much as possible so that Poppyscotland can continue to deliver life-changing services for Scotland's ex-services community."

Scottish Labour's sports spokesman Bill Butler said: "I praise the swift way the club have responded.

"This doesn't reflect the views of the vast majority of football fans.

"The sacrifice of men and women who have died serving our country unites everybody and deserves to be remembered."
