senorsoupe Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Judging by the release it's clear that this started with the flares at the Hearts game last year and that the banners this week were the final straw. It's also clear that Lawell and the board are sick and tired of being in trouble with UEFA and paying fines for blatant rules violations 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Jag Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I'm looking forward to reading the inevitable 'toys out pram' statement from the precious Green Brigade. Their tantrums are right up there with Traynor's Rangers statements in terms of entertainment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Well done the GB for fucking up safe standing for everyone as we all predicted they would.Not a bad response from the club though.Anyone know what the specific safety concerns at the Linfield game were? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what the specific safety concerns at the Linfield game were? Don't think they allow safe standing at European games. And the charge was for blocking a stairway, due to lateral movement during a chant which sees fans exit their safe standing area and go onto the stairways, which kinda contradicts the 1st part of my post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't though. The Celtic board love it. The GB will spend more buying Celtic curtains and pyjamas and other Celtic tat than UEFA will hand out in fines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the "The Celtic, the Celtic,we support the Celtic" chant they have a choreographed dance too? Seen them do that from the Jock Stein stand a lot. Looks fucking great when they actually do things to support the team creating a great atmosphere for the rest of the fans, but unfortunately they do go overboard at times, dopey c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible UEFA told them to act or else face a stadium ban 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenlantern Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Ok, so the GB have got a slap on the wrist from the PLC. Personally, I think they've overstepped the mark. I also love the atmosphere and enthusiasm they bring to the ground. However, when you start to enforce your views on neutrals thats where you need to draw the line. I've no bother with freedom of expression, but as a collaborative group they need to respect the views of others.I'm not offended or embarrassed by their actions, I just feel they need to be more subtle about the point they're attempting to make. Box clever, and make a statement that reflects the true meaning of their political agenda. Encourage others to get onboard. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
