Discuss. Not really fussed either way to be honest. They don't seem to mind when Nir Bitton plays for them so it's a hallow gesture. Would be very amusing though if they drew Real Madrid or Barcelona in the group stage and they were forced to play them in an empty stadium.

Cet Homme Charmant Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 World Cup? Euros? Olympics? Behave yourself. He's got a point though, if UEFA are going to deem that flags are 'political' where do you draw the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitanus Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 only way to make it fair is to ban ALL national flags from sporting events? But herein lies the problem: the flag of the failed Palestinian State is not a national flag, as the failed Palestinian State is not a universally recognised nation. They are a shower of crackpots governed by terrorists, and only act as a warning to IS why they should give up even trying to get their own wee Muslim utopia. It is no surprise that Celtic supporters have taken to them as they love their terrorists masquerading as cuddly-toy like victims.

capitanus Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Anyway, the away leg of this tie is on Tuesday. Let's hope the Israeli police and Mossad have fun battering fuck out of the Green Brigade for that wee stunt. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRVMP Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It's not really about fairness but about marketing. UEFA doesn't like having to adjudicate over FLEGS, so a blanket rule is more effective for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA doesn't like having to adjudicate over FLEGS, so a blanket rule is more effective for them. It is also about the good people of Israel whom these actions were intended to offend. Also, it is openly displaying support for a terrorist state and regime. They should face the ultimate penalty and kicked out of Europe as a result. In fact, all Scottish clubs should face a ban from Europe as a result of their actions in this instance. As CHC said, they dont seem to mind Israelis when one of them is amongst their shower on the Park. The Terrorist loving Green Brigade once again never thought this through properly. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EanieMeany Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It's not really about fairness but about marketing. UEFA doesn't like having to adjudicate over FLEGS, so a blanket rule is more effective for them. A blanket ban seems fair enough to me, to be honest, otherwise you could end up with all sorts of banners and political posturing (posturing being the key work; funny how Celtic supporters "gestures" always ensure that they're the big story and not the cause they claim to support). Heaven forbid UEFA, or indeed Celtic fans, become the arbiters of what is and what isn't a just cause. There's no story about this other than a bunch of spoiled brats being typically spoiled brats and spitting the dummy about it. Self-aggrandising bollocks. Anyway, I notice their anti-Israeli stance didn't stop them celebrating Bitton's goal the other night and I doubt they'd have refused to have went to the group stages had that turned out to be the winner. Pretty much everything about Celtic is cringe-worthy as ****. Edit to add: This is the exact wording of the relevant part of Article 16, for anyone interested: "The use of gestures, words, objects or any other means to transmit any message that is not fit for a sports event, particularly messages that are of a political, ideological, religious, offensive or provocative nature". It's fairly clear what the ruling is. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EanieMeany Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 This whole thing is more preposterous by the day. Must be a Celtic fan's ultimate fantasy though, getting to play the self-righteous card AND the victim card over the same incident! God help the guy cleaning the seats at their next home game.

EanieMeany Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I see that they now seem to be glorying in the fact that children in Palestinian refugee camps are donating to their fund for the fine levied for their self-aggrandising pish. That's bloody grotesque, Jesus truly would have wept. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
