Greatest Supporters In The World - In Trouble Again

***Keith_M*** · 13-09-2017 08:51 AM

I see Celtc's great European Traditions are being valiantly continued... humped by PSG and facing yet another fine for Fan Misbehaviour.

This time it was just one guy, who ran onto the pitch and tried to kick a PSG player after the 3rd goal. A single person this time but this is becoming a very regular pattern.

They must be creating some new record for UEFA Fines.

***Jones28*** · 13-09-2017 08:53 AM

12 fines in 6 years apparantly

Only one guy ran onto the pitch poor show,they could have asked us for advice on how to do a proper pitch invasion.

Yep, shows a definite lack of effort.

He should have worn his 'cloak of invisibility' and attacked all of the PSG players as happened on 21/05/2016

***Billy Whizz*** · 13-09-2017 09:06 AM

Think they'll get hammered for this

***DarlingtonHibee*** · 13-09-2017 09:07 AM

That boy better keep his head down for a bit!

***Sylar*** · 13-09-2017 09:18 AM

He looked so pleased with himself too as he was being carted off by the stewards, whilst the rest of the Celtc fans rightly booed him and looked on with faces of disgust.

I really loathe that club and their supporters as a whole, but I feel a little bit for them that one absolute idiot, who was heckled by his own supporters, is going to land them in more hot water.

It'll no doubt be another fine, which in the grand scheme of things will be paltry. It would be genuinely unfair if they end up having to play games behind closed doors etc because of one total walloper.

Exactly my point.

Fair comments. I would take it one step further and say that I feel bit for the supporters that don't also belt out that sectarian trash . Breaking the rules in the stands is the same as breaking them on the pitch.

If it was an isolated incident they'd have my sympathy. The 12 fines in 6 years (with another now to come). Tells you there are wider issues with the support.

Imagine also if in Scotland we took the same view as UEFA? Something might actually get done about it!

**WeeRussell** · 13-09-2017 11:41 AM

F*** 'em, as long as they're getting fined for something. Fine away - them and their ugly sisters get away without action against their fans every time they play.

All roads lead to Rome.

***Lendo*** · 13-09-2017 11:49 AM

Have Club 1872 released a statement calling for Lennon to be charged over this?

If they end up playing a game behind closed doors it won't be down to the idiot last night, it will be down to the other 10 occasions in the last 6 years and quite rightly so.

Celtic are perennial offenders, whether the latest offence was committed by one or one thousand fans, they deserve harsh punishment.

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 13-09-2017 04:44 PM

The strict liability laws of UEFA are in stark contrast to the laxness of the SPL and SFA. We should go the same route, in order to deal with the national disgrace that is the Old Firm.

Disagree.

Each individual offence has to be considered on its own merit. One idiotic fan entering the field of play and attempting to assault a player should not result in the club being held accountable regardless of previous indiscretions.

The only time action should be taken against a club is when fan behaviour could have been foreseen and preventative measures could have been put in place but weren't.

Apparently they are setting up a direct debit to UEFA !!

Shows the unfairness of it all when one numpty can get the club into trouble.

How is it unfair?

One numpty is still one numpty too many.

What? One guy can get your club into trouble and facing sanctions and fines, it's not too difficult to see how that could be deemed unfair now is it.

If there wasn't recent history of similar happening like when the boy ran on to confront the Milan goalie, IRA singing and illicit banners then I might agree. Celtic are Scotlands shame - again.

I suppose thems the rules and celtc knew before they got into the tournament but its pretty tough on the rest if one bellends actions affects their enjoyment of the next game.

Think their problem is that this is the tip of a very toxic iceberg. EUFA tend to act whilst the Scottish authorities navel gaze or defer in the case of the uglies.

We can't really condone fans running onto the pitch and confronting players though.

There needs to be a deterrent - the perpetrator getting into trouble personally, and there should be an impact on the club, even if it is a small fine in the grand scheme of things. That way fans self-police a bit better (and react like the fans did last night, which is to take a pretty dim view of this guy).

If you don't act tough on this then you'll see more of it, and a player might get injured by some dafty with a weapon. You could make a pretty big statement attacking a £200m player.

Before you know it we could have perimeter fencing back in grounds.

Clubs have to be responsible for the behaviour of their fans in their own ground.

If it was a one off incident, I'd imagine the punishment would reflect that, but it's just the latest in a whole catalogue of events in the last six years.

**Sir David Gray** · 13-09-2017 11:18 AM

I'm certainly no lover of Celtic but I do find it grossly unfair that any club can be punished for the actions of one fan out of thousands who did something which was entirely unpreventable.

That's why they won't allow Strict Liability in Scottish football.
