And in the middle of the article, a reminder of the trouble we faced out there.

Aye I know. "Decent little player"? Wallace was supposedly 6'10"!

 

William Wallace 

 

Fear not lads, MBT will be along shortly and explain it to you, as obviously my humour is lost in the depths of time

You referring to one "Willy Wallace" Al?

 

As in William Semple Brown Wallace?

The very one mate 

 

Knew you wouldn't let me down

Damn fine player in his day

Damn fine player in his day

 

Sticks in the throat to admit any Tic player was, but you're right he was.

Seem to mind he scored goals for fun

Aye, he did. But not as good as Benny!

Aye, he did. But not as good as Benny!

 

Yorston NOT Hill for our younger members

 

Afore even my time MBT, but what a record he had.

Still record goal scorer in a single season for us I believe 

Before my time innaw, but yes still a record holder.

 

Old enough to remember Joe though

Apparently according to a tims fan at work, they are protesting cause they are not allowed to sing about anything Irish but it is ok to sing about Scottish heroes WTF  They seem to believe it is some kind of conspiracy by the SNP 

 

So when I pointed out that the tims are a bunch of paranoid wankers who need to remember they actually play in Scotland it didn't go down too well 

 

 

 

Did you ask them if they felt UEFA fining their club for the antics was justified?

 

If I was Celtics board id be tempted to send a bill to the green brigade for the UEFA Fine.

 

Or perhaps the divide and conquer - 'Dear fans, as a result of the antics of the green brigade we will have to raise the ticket prices again and wont be signing anyone for a while'

 

 

 

Was pretty much starved of chances though.

 

Even still though Al, he just didn't look hungry enough

Just. Fuck. Right. Off

 

It's clear the authorities have an agenda here to help a certain gruesome twosome with their preferential treatment of the blue half, and now this?

 

Celtic have been granted permission to postpone their 11 January meeting with Kilmarnock so that they can have a winter break in Marbella. (The Record)

Just. Fuck. Right. Off

 

It's clear the authorities have an agenda here to help a certain gruesome twosome with their preferential treatment of the blue half, and now this?

 

 

Pretty sure all clubs are entitled to do this?

Really? If so I partially retract my statement.

 

First I've heard of it, and it's not like many others could afford it anyway

On the plus side, that'll be their only European trip after Christmas.

Green brigade up to their usual - not only the seatbut the metal supports. Cost Celtic a few pennies 

 

I know we're not exactly squeeky clean when it comes to shit like this, but there must be a record somewhere of who bought tickets for those specific seats. Why can't the club, or even the police, flex their muscles a bit and start investigating stuff like that? Damaging stuff unnesscesarily really grips my shit.

From the tims I know, they actually are sick to death with this and as someone alluded to, ordinary tims are starting to inform the authorities of what's actually going on. They just need to sort it out. Its embarrassing.

The Green brigade has released a statement regarding the seats at Fir Park. It's believed that when the fans first entered the stadium the seats became very hostile towards them. And that one seat in particular was very aggressive . And it was this seat believed to be an Amsterdam cop dressed as a seat that started the trouble Celtic fans had no option but to attack the seats as some fans feared for their lives. Hail hail to the best fans in the world for there brave actions against the aggressive seats

The Seats were Oppressing their rights to free speech.

If its anything like our cup game there nobody was in the right seats on the instruction of the stewards.

Not strictly true Dave....myself and my son got there less than 10 mins afore kick off, and got our allocated seats in back row of lower stand

We were meant to be behind the goals and were told we had to sit to the side.

Celtic have issued 128 "precautionary suspensions" against supporters believed to have been involved in causing damage at Fir Park in Friday's win over Motherwell.

The game was marred by disturbances in the visiting section of Fir Park as seats were ripped out while fireworks, smoke bombs and a flare were set off in scenes described by the Scottish Premier Football League as "shameful".

Celtic launched their own internal investigation into the events, and they have confirmed that 128 individuals will be temporarily banned from attending matches both at home and away.

A club statement read: "Following events on Friday evening at Fir Park Stadium, Celtic Football Club has issued precautionary suspensions against 128 individuals preventing them attending matches involving Celtic, pending further investigation. These suspensions will cover matches at Celtic Park and away matches.

"In addition, the Club will be relocating around 250 season book holders in Section 111 to other areas within the stadium, or offering refunds covering the remainder of the season to those who do not wish to be relocated.

Just saw the tims score - that has made me smile - thank fuck they have been well & truly humped
