The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[seafoid]

When will we hear about UEFA's punishment for Linfield?

UEFA decided that being from Belfast with those supporters was sufficient punishment. Loyal Orange Lodge.

As I understand it there are 1500 hundred Linfield fans travelling,and they are being accompanied on the entire journey (coaches and boat) by club and eventsec stewards.

I hope they are not subjected to sectarian abuse,it is important that we do not stoop to their level and allow the media to portray the line one's as bad as the other.Let's do the talking on the pitch with a goal avalanche.

Griffiths and Celtic charged by UEFA!!

Griffiths doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the box, what did he think would happen when he tied the scarf to the goalpost? Has he done it at Ibrox?!!

Eejit!

[theskull1]

Yet to many calling out shitty Linfield fans he's a legend for doing it. Doesn't make sense to me.

Whatever happened to staying classy

[an léirmheastóir]

Why is there such a deliberate naming of the missile as a "buckfast bottle"?
Is it not enough to say "a bottle was thrown at a celtic player"?

Is there something sinister, more lethal in that it was not just a bottle, but 'twas "a buckfast bottle"?

Ok a glass bottle

yes, and Tynecastle

Celtic are charged for the team picking up 5 yellow cards, foolish when it's just Linfield and there are more important games ahead.

Would it be a more serious charge for Linfield if their fan was accused of throwing a Buckfast bottle onto the pitch?

And a good few other grounds. It is almost a ritual for him at this stage but he probably should have been wise to the fact he was messing with the emotional delicacy of psychopaths on Friday night.

Yeah I thought a lot of the cards were needless and could be costly further down the road. Griffiths could be excused and it was a cowardly, potentially damaging tackle from behind on Armstrong that caused him to react but it was Linfield FFS, we had no need to be picking up any yellow cards.

Griffiths card was needless, as in needless for the ref to give it. Unfortunately when the ref allows thugs to get away with thuggery our players are going to react. As for tying the scarf to the post, if that is counted as incitment, I think those who are offended need to look at themselves.

[theskull1]

An orange knuckle dragger ties a scarf round a lamppost in front of Ardoyne shops to the cheers of his reprobate buddies. Not inciteful? Really? 

[T Fearon]

The abuse all of the Celtic players took at the shithole that is Windsor Park,and in particular Brown,Griffiths and Sinclair,was unbelievable.I can well understand Griffiths wanting to rub it in.

[Hectic]

Tony I detect a different tone from you from last week regarding this fixture, the venue, opponents etc.

Nothing like being stuck in the middle of the like to remind you what they are really like.

[Hectic]

The Griffiths thing is ridiculous because it came about 5 mins after the game had ended.  After the constant abuse, after the missiles and after attempted pitch invasions.  To try and say that this would incite trouble is bananas given that the torch was well and truly lit long before then. 

Maybe UEFA need to have a look at themselves for inciting everything that went before by not keeping the teams separate in the draw if they feel a scarf to a post at the end of the game could have lead to serious unrest - talk about wanting it both ways.
