Whatever punishment the relevant authorities hand down, it won’t be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers: really sorry about the pitch invasion and the assaults on the police and Celtic coach and the incessant sectarian singing….. but Celtic started it. Celtic: sorry about the mini pitch invasion, the rushing of the turnstiles, the vandalism and the tagging of 66 all over Ibrox….. but Rangers started it. its just boring whataboutery all the time and anyone with a brain knows it. Dock the 2 of them points and make them play in an empty stadium for 6 months. That’ll fk them both off!! starting on Saturday please.

Stand by as official fan groups criticise the police but don't acknowledge the behaviour of those same fans inside and outside the ground. Although there is police strategy that needs looked at, their response to the fan statements is spot on regarding the silence from both Clubs. Hiding behind the fact there will be an investigation so not appropriate to comment. Really? No OF condemnation of anything the fans did. Let the spotlight focus elsewhere. Disgracefully the media mostly do their best to aid the deflection. Will we see the BBC doing a full report not only highlighting the on field carry-on but also the damage to the stadium, the storming of the turnstiles, the actions of players and officials as well as both sets of fans, the sale of tickets that ended up in the hands of fans banned from Celtic Park? The PR machine is currently in full mode so don't hold your breath. At the end of the day the Authorities will issue pointless fines and a few culprits will be charged. Away fans at OF games will be banned for a time, which will have no impact on either club financially. Why not play OF games behind closed doors until the end of next season as that would have greater impact? The excuse it was a Cup match will be used to justify no action League points wise. Threats of harsher sanctions for any repeat will be made, possibly even suspended penalties. Celtic will eventually pay for the repairs. But nothing will change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted 57 minutes ago Report Share Posted 57 minutes ago If they haven't condemned the shocking goings on, then it makes strict liability all the easier to apply. Suggestions also of sectarianism but I don't suppose anybody is too keen to investigate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
