Frankie 8,663 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Scottish Sun - Page 19 Celtic are facing a UEFA rap after sick fans were filmed belting out bigoted chants in Barcelona Scores of boozy morons were caught screaming f*** the Queen and pro-IRA slogans during a giant outdoor bash thrown for the recent Champions League clash. A string of the hate-filled mobile phone clips quickly sprang up on the internet. And now the Parkhead club could be hauled before Euro football chiefs to explain the shameful scenes. Last night a UEFA spokesman said "The disciplinary department has opened an investigation following their watching and assessment of the footage." Around 10,000 Hoops fans invaded Barcelona earlier this month for the match,which the Spanish side won 1-0, but a minority of yobs trashed the reputation of decent supporters. Several vile videos were even shot at the official Celtic Meeting Point fans' zone - as well as various bars. A UEFA source said "If the investigation is conclusive, it will turn into a disciplinary case" Rangers were rapped two years ago for sectarian chanting during their UEFA Cup match with Villareal in Spain.

CammyF 8,385 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Peter Liewell claimed today that the above clips were generated using �£30 software or it was Rangers fans (DOB's) dressed as Celtc fans. NBM refused to comment as it only comments when those DOB's are out of order or at fault. The BBC asked Liewell how they should respond and will run a 30 minute story on how 8 million Tims went to Suville and none got arrested (a lie by the way).

juffery 0 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Celtic escape rap from UEFA over sectarian singing claim Mar 29 2008 By Chris Roberts CELTIC will not be punished by UEFA over alleged sectarian behaviour by their fans in Barcelona. Record Sport understands a journalist sent videos to the Euro beaks of supporters allegedly singing sectarian songs in and around the Nou Camp during the Champions League clash between the sides on March 4. But yesterday the governing body said the evidence was not sufficient enough to take any action. The decision is good news for the club who along with Rangers have worked hard to drive sectarianism out of their grounds. A spokesperson for Celtic said: "We have not been informed of any UEFA investigation concerning our visit to Barcelona and would be surprised if any was to take place. "Indeed, Celtic supporters have already been praised highly by UEFA for their behaviour and were applauded by Barcelona, the Catalan police, the people of the city and the Catalan media. "Celtic states quite clearly that as a club open to all, it stands firmly against all forms of bigotry and sectarianism. "This can be seen from the great volume of work Celtic carries out in this area. "The club condemns any small minority who choose to indulge in any form of negative or offensive behaviour. "As a club open to all since 1888, Celtic again reiterates its commitment to combating any form of bigotry or unacceptable conduct." A spokesman for UEFA said: "We have received footage showing Celtic supporters allegedly singing anti-Queen and pro-IRA songs - sectarian songs. "Basically we take care of all manifestations of sectarian singing. The only condition is that it must be in the immediate surrounding area of the stadium." Rangers were fined s8280 by UEFA for the behaviour of their fans during the clash with Osasuna last March. They insisted there was "improper conduct" by both sets of fans in Pamplona and it is believed the fine imposed on Rangers was largely for sectarian singing by fans.
