Inigo 32,526 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 See even though I despise them and their IRA shite ... they do make a valid point about the hypocrisy of the Jacobites and Flower Of Scotland etc. If we can't sing the Billy Boys and Famine Song in this day and age then the rest of Scotland shouldn't be allowed to sing Flower Of ScotlandIndeed. Selective recollection of history involved here. Wallace was not just a freedom fighter. During his investigation of England Wallace is said to have destroyed vast areas of the north of England, including the burning of 700 villages and towns. That said, most cultures/groups of people gloss over the bad things their heroes were involved in, it's just that they don't seem to hypocritically pontificate as much as certain Scots do.

bluedart1952 1,349 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Minority Practically the whole stand were involved.Minority Practically the whole stand were involved.Love this bit from liewell "With regard to last night's display, the Club made it abundantly clear in advance to the group in question that only football-related displays would be permitted and that any political display would lead to a UEFA charge."We, in turn, received an assurance that all displays would be 100 per cent relevant to Celtic. Any normal human being outwith septic will know that last nights display is 100% revelant to septic and nobody else, and is a common theme at all their games.

72barca 1,788 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 So who are they blaming nowA small minority ...http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11787/9045217/celtic-chief-executive-peter-lawwell-hits-out-over-illicit-banner Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell hits out over illicit bannerLast Updated: November 27, 2013 6:15pmPeter Lawwell: Critical of those who unveiled bannerCeltic chief executive Peter Lawwell has described the actions of those who revealed an illicit banner at their Champions League game with AC Milan as showing "clear disrespect for the club."UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings into the matter and Lawwell has slammed those responsible for the banner in an impassioned message on the club's official website."Last night was nothing more than clear disrespect for the club and our supporters who now face another UEFA charge," the statement read."There have now been a number of UEFA charges made against the club during the last three years, relating to behaviour, displays and pyrotechnics - it cannot go on any further."Let's be very clear. Following the actions of a small minority, these charges are made against the CLUB. It is the reputation of Celtic, our great club and our great fans which is damaged, while others carry on indulging in such behaviour."Regardless of the political views people hold, football stadia, whether it is Celtic Park or anywhere else, should not be used to promote these."This is something which all football authorities, including UEFA, have stressed for some time and something well known by all supporters."The club don't want it, our manager and our team don't want it, our supporters don't want it and the football authorities don't want it - it has to stop."Celtic is a world-class football club and rightly proud of its wonderful reputation in the game. This is a reputation hard-earned by our supporters over many years. We cannot and will not allow this reputation to be tarnished any further."Celtic were fined £4,221 earlier this season by UEFA after fireworks were set off by supporters during their Champions League qualifier against Northern Irish side Cliftonville.They were also punished twice during their 2011/12 season Europa League campaign after supporters displayed an offensive banner and set off flares during an away game with Udinese.Celtic were also handed a £13,000 fine for "illicit chanting" in the same competition during their game with French side Rennes.Neil Lennon's side cannot now qualify for the knockout stages of the competition or the Europa League after they were beaten 3-0 at Parkhead but they now face problems off the pitch, with UEFA due to consider the matter next month."Disciplinary proceedings have been opened against Celtic FC for an incident of a non-sporting nature (illicit banner) at last night's UEFA Champions League match against AC Milan in Glasgow," read a UEFA statement."The case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body meeting on 11 December."The disciplinary code of European football's governing body states clubs may be subject to disciplinary measures if supporters are found to have used "gestures, words, objects or any other means to transmit any message that is not fit for a sports event, particularly messages that are of a political, ideological, religious, offensive or provocative nature."Meanwhile, a man has been reported to police for allegedly shining a light onto the pitch at Celtic Park."A 25-year-old man is subject of a report to the procurator fiscal in connection with allegedly shining a laser pen on to the pitch at Celtic Park during the match on Tuesday 26th November," Police Scotland confirmed.

davis2804 6 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Their mentality (club management & fans) astounds me. The only reason Lawwell The Liar has even said anything is because of the UEFA charge. Where was the condemnation after the game versus Aberdeen? He's going through the motions with all this hard talk of bans, etc. He knows EXACTLY who did it. It's about time the press & media grew some and took The Liar to task.
