54andcounting 0 Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 What gets me is why were they displaying the banner @ a friendly with Norwich in the 1st place??? Rangers newco, sevco, Rangers no more! If the banner was in that theme then that's ok, but these filthy chancers are promoting the IRA and encouraging their young supporters to join in. Something has to be done to stop this trend, and quickly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid this is Scotland 2012. They are in positions of power throughout the country in particular the legal , political & media professions. And, of course, they're running the football authorities. Look at what happened at Annan Railway Station last weekend. Like something from Stalin's USSR. Do Shellik supporters get treated this way? you tell me 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,761 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Social misfits manage to break Celtic's run of good news HUGH KEEVINS believes Celtic chief Peter Lawwell should publicly renounce the fans who unfurled the zombie banner at Parkhead. CELTIC should waive their right to any appeal over the zombie banner wavers and accept full liability. An admission of guilt will result in a two-bob fine from the SFA and a warning about their future conduct. The warning will be ignored by the social misfits who thought up the content of the banner in the first place but that’s Celtic’s burden to bear. The bottom line is that people who think it’s funny or clever to unfurl a banner depicting someone shooting another person with a rifle have to be a concern for society at large. The idea that a football club would attempt to find any excuse to claim they were innocent of blame for what happens inside their ground is likely to cause as much outrage as the original offence. Those who came up with the idea of displaying this banner at a pre-season friendly are part of a Scottish problem. They are oddballs in the weirdo capital of the world. I know people of my generation aren’t supposed to understand what goes on in the minds of the younger element but revulsion over the celebration of guns and graveyards ought to be experienced across the board. Or am I missing something here on the subject of common decency? The Celtic fans who came up with this piece of conceptual art wallowing in Rangers’ descent to the abyss of the Third Division are the same ones who took part in the summer of action against a newco being admitted to the SPL. They told Peter Lawwell, Celtic’s chief executive, that the club’s failure to carry out their wishes and vote against Charles Green’s new outfit would result in their non-attendance at Celtic Park. What a chance Peter missed. The only surprise I have over the emergence of the SFA’s notice of complaint against Celtic is not that it’s taken them so long to get round to it. The conspiracy theorists will say the delay means it’s a minor case but proves that the SFA will take action against Celtic for something. And, at the same time, it dispels the notion that Lawwell effectively runs the governing bodies by working Stewart Regan and Neil Doncaster from the back. All of which is nonsense but adds to our considerable reputation as a place of unsound mind. The surprise is that it breaks Peter’s run of wins on the trot. Up until Thursday night at five minutes to six, when news broke of the banner and the bampots, Lawwell was the man who could do no wrong. Timing is everything in this game and he showed an intimate understanding of that being the case while The Rangers’ owner Charles Green had been guilty of taking his eye off the ball. Celtic announced their latest financial figures to coincide with their re-entry to the Champions League and were able to show that a loss would quickly be turned into substantial profit on the back of being at European football’s top table. A deficit was therefore linked with progress without a word of dissent. Genius. On the same day Green was charged with bringing the game into disrepute and Rangers were knocked out of the Ramsdens Cup by Queen of the South at Ibrox. If Lawwell had challenged Green to a game of poker on Tuesday he might have owned Murray Park by this time. Charles going off on one about the possibility of being sent to jail for expressing his beliefs, or issuing dark threats that some visitors to Ibrox from the SPL will be less welcome than others, have lost impact. You can be a martyr when the team’s going well but when the excrement has hit the ventilating machine on the park then you’d be better off addressing team matters. Lawwell more or less consigned The Rangers to the recesses of his mind when he held his balance sheet briefing. The chief said the relationship between Celtic and Rangers was good when the clubs were highly competitive. But the relevance of that relationship had become lessened by one being in the SPL and the other being resident in the SFL. It sounded like a glorious piece of one-upmanship but the subtlety of the moment has been ruined by the extremist element’s obsession with Rangers. If Rangers don’t mean anything to those Celtic fans who dreamed up their rifle shooting fantasy at the graveside then why not let them go? What’s to be gained from staining the name of your own club with anti-social behaviour? Lawwell privately argued with the fundamentalists in an Italian airport last season, denouncing them after a “F*** UEFA” banner was unfurled during a Europa League tie with Udinese. He should now renounce them in public and inform the SFA’s compliance officer Vincent Lunny that Celtic will accept their punishment for the deeply regrettable actions of the undeniably misguided.
