When was Villareal? 2006? PSV was 2011? Eight years since our last indiscretion and we get hammered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for four or five of those years we never played in UEFA competition so were never in a position to be punished for anything. The time elapsed since our last 'indiscretion' is irrlelvant anyway. The punishment for a first offence under article 14 is a section closure. second offence is a stadium closure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUEDIGNITY 33,647 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 If a team has had all these charges in so many years it accumulates to a closure surely same as a yellow and red card situation, they have been treated with favour only because they are a catholic club favoured by a catholic based organisation.

It’s not a first offence for them either their list is only partial, a stand of theirs should’ve been officially shut for the number of times they’ve been fined alone? How many times can you fine offenders before jailing them? C’mon who are you defending here ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then though, I'll quite happily continue of the belief that we've had a section closed because we've been caught bang to rights and the punishment for a first offence under UEFA's Article 14 of their disciplinary regulations is a section closure. I mean, I know which one is easier to believe but seeing it in black and white in the UEFA's regs does make a pretty compelling argument against a grand conspiracy. https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/UEFACompDisCases/02/60/83/56/2608356_DOWNLOAD.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't get a section closure because it was the harshest of the available penalties for what they were charged with. Ours was the only penalty for what we were charged with. You’d think after let’s say 8-10 charges for them, before the fuck eufa banner was unfurled uefa would have made an example of clubs fans who don’t heed advice of authority, but it never happened and hasn’t since 2017. now does 2017 coincide roughly when liewell became involved with eufa or the eca is what I’m asking? now you could call me paranoid regarding his work at the sfa, but to my knowledge no celtic player has ever been charged by the sfa compliance officer other than that tonev cunt, they have been sighted but never charged other than 1 player for a racism charge, compare that to us and surely, surely anybody can see the difference, are they really that whiter than white?

Lawwell has been involved with the ECA from as early as 2014 (although I didn't check much further) Without bothering to check how many times all of the other clubs have been cited and charged as a comparison I couldn't really offer any sort of informed opinion on it.

But, again, according to the rule book what they have been charged with isn't worse. The stuff they've been charged with has section closures as the harshest available punishment and UEFA's committee's over the last decade have all, for whatever reason, felt that it has never merited it. Whether thats right or wrong, tbh, I couldn't particularly care about know because UEFA aren't going to go back and suddenly review it and re-charge and punish celtic so it's utterly pointless. If you take the time to actually sit and read through the documents of UEFA's website (and believe there are a fucking lot of them) you'll see that various offences have varying scales of punishment. celtic's have almost always been viewed as relatively minor offences - again whether you or I think otherwise is moot - and the punishment issued has always been that way. There is no 'totting up' process for charges - unless they are directly linked to each other - and simple fan misconduct typically isn't viewed that way. Now if you think that's all the result of some Peter Lawwell led conspiracy at UEFA then you give the man far too much credit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the rules then yes. I'm not sure there's would breach article 14 (although it would depend on the specifics, so singing something specifically anti-British or using a derogatory term for protestants then it would, if it was a starry plough then it probably wouldnt). Genuinely not trying to be difficult here, I don't understand in what way you want me to quantify if there's a difference between them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
