JFK-1 1,694 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 CELTIC face another UEFA rap after their fans flew Palestine flags during the Champions League clash with Israelis Hapoel Beer Sheva. It is the ninth time in just five years Hoops supporters have landed their club in trouble with European football rulers. UEFA forbid political expressions in football and the waving of the Palestinian standard is seen as especially provocative given the opposition. Police Scotland this week urged fans not to make a statement in the first-leg playoff– and warned them they faced being arrested. But those pleas fell on deaf ears and now Celtic face yet another fine – or even part closure of their stadium in European competition. It’s the latest misdemeanour by Hoops supporters who have cost their club more than £107,150. It’s also the second time they have been fined for supporters flying Palestinian flag – the first coming against KR Reykjavik in 2014. The rap sheet * December 2015: Fenerbahce (A) – £10,000 for improper conduct of team as well as flares * March 2015: Inter Milan (A) - £5850 for improper conduct of team, £3650 fine for flares * February 2015: Dinamo Zagreb (A) - £7400 fine for inappropriate crowd behaviour * July 2014: KR Reykjavik (H) - £16,000 fine for illicit banner * December 2013: AC Milan (H) - £42,200 fine for illicit banner * July 2013: Cliftonville (H) - £4200 fine for flares * March 2012: Udinese (A) - £21,000 fine for flares and illicit banner * December 2011: Rennes (A) - £12,700 fine for illicit chanting http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-face-yet-another-uefa-8650376 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 4,039 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Liewell's man in UEFAJohn Delaney will see little or nothing comes of this. Uefa has been proven to be corrupt. The yahoos should be banned by now with all those fines 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,694 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 There is no way anyone can get them out of this with nothing done. It will be reported by both the officials and probably the Israelis themselves because this is serious shit way over and above all of their previous transgressions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was clearly orchestrated, it's not just one or two flags; it could easily lead to a partial ground closure for their next match.

JFK-1 1,694 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Is it a football club or a political activist organisation sticking it's neb into conflicts across the globe and seemingly habitually taking the side of those the international community have designated as terrorists. I would suggest they go over to Palestine to visit their friends there. Take your crosses and your rosary beads and rainbow flags with you and feel the amity they have with the likes of you as they toss you off the nearest building. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearman 9 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Why a partial closure? Make them play in an empty stadium! Edited August 18, 2016 by Bearman 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
