Lennon hails Hoops display


Recommended Posts

It is only pre-season admittedly.

 

But to get beat by an Oz team, regardless of the stage of their season, really shouldnt be considered "remarkable". Deja vu all over again. Let the Tims play their "remarkable", "astonishing" and "Barcelona" football all they want, whilst we on the other hand will simply get down to the business of keeping our title.

 

We dont need to bum up our team in order to remain in the good graces of our fans, we simply DO THE BUSINESS.

11 arrested as footy fans get too close

Anne Tarasov

July 3, 2011

 

NINE men and two women were arrested after jumping the fence and trying to run on to the pitch during the match between leading Scottish football club Celtic and Central Coast Mariners at ANZ Stadium last night.

 

A man was charged with assaulting police, while another man was charged with assault.

 

Acting Superintendent Mick Rochester, commander of the group of officers policing the event, said those arrested would face hefty fines and could be banned from attending events at the stadium.

 

He said it was disappointing that the drunken anti-social behaviour of a few marred the night for many of the 17,000-plus spectators.

 

Twenty-seven people were ejected for being intoxicated, while 47 people were refused entry because of drunkenness.

 

Five people were issued infringement notices for failing to leave when asked, with one of those subsequently arrested.

 

The Mariners beat Celtic, Scottish Premier League runners-up, 1-0.

 

''The message is a simple one - anti-social and criminal behaviour will not be tolerated under any circumstances," acting Superintendent Rochester said. ''If you can't or won't heed the message, don't attend these events. A sporting event is not an excuse to break the law.

 

''If your team isn't performing well, or you disagree with a decision by the referee, you can't react by getting intoxicated, damaging property, assaulting others or making an idiot of yourself.

 

''Be warned. Police and event security staff will continue to act swiftly at sporting and other events to ensure any opportunities to disrupt the enjoyment of others are minimised.''

Less than 20k fans and there's about the same amount of trouble as there was in Manchester with 250k. I'll be watching to see how the BBC cover this disgrace or if they'll even cover it at all.... sweep sweep.

First things first, no way am i defending them nor will i ever defend them. However Stewards in Australia are complete twats toward football fans. I went to many games when i lived there and they get on at you for waving a flag around.

 

In saying that though, there was no trouble when i saw the Gers there last year, just a cracking good ol sing song :-)

The greatest supporters in the world my ass, it would seem that almost every away game these days has the Celtic hooligans causing trouble.

They may be the greatest supporters in the world but it is of Terrorism and Hooliganism.
