ian1964 10,625 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 CELTIC are seeking a court order that could see a yob fan go to JAIL if he defies a ban on attending matches. Hoops bosses want an injunction to reinforce the move against Ross Connolly, 29 â?? blamed for the 'F*** UEFA' banner at a match in Italy last year. Connolly, of Giffnock, Glasgow, was arrested during the Europa League tie against Udinese for allegedly assaulting a steward. It's believed Celtic are the first Scots club to pursue a legal route to keep a fan away. A source said: "Clubs can ban people from their ground but, if they manage to sneak in, all the club can do is eject them. "An injunction is a far more robust measure." A breach of a Court of Session order would be contempt of court â?? with sanctions including civil imprisonment. A Celtic spokesman said: "We are rightly taking steps to prohibit this individual from attending matches." The club faces a large fine over the banner. UEFA will hear the case on February 24. Last night Connolly's mum Anne called Celtic's move "unwarranted".

Guest Dutchy Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 An over reaction, getting lots of publicity, to cover-up for their past lack of reaction, accompanied by equally little reportage. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 They can obviously argue that Juan guy took the banner into the stadium if it was in one piece, but it wasn't Juan guy setting off all the flares or smoke bombs.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gers4Life 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Then again Celtic could be doing this in hope that uefa recognise that they are dealing with it and hope uefa don't throw the book at them big time! Personally if I were uefa I'd be taking a great big run before I launch the book right at their chuckies 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
