Only a bunch of ****bags engage in that kind of behaviour. Firebombing someone's home where him and mostly likely his family are. What if someone was killed??? Would these ****bags be happy then??? Cretinous behaviour.

I’ve seen some videos doing the rounds online of the blaze from afar, serious stuff.
The Daily Record reporting some kind of explosive device used to ignite the cars is beyond terrifying.

So a number of cars in an area were attacked and his cars set fire to the garage. Who were they after ? They hit several houses. They did not directly attack his house.

Let’s make it look football related.The attack on the nightclub owners house who supposedly lives near lawell happened at 2pm according to the police. The supposed attack on lawells House happened in the early hours of the morning so if those reports were true and accurate there's a fair bit of time between both attacks.

'A spokesperson for Celtic said: “We can confirm that significant damage has been caused to Peter Lawwell’s house and vehicles there, following an explosion and fire early this morning, forcing the family to leave the property.”
“Clearly, Peter’s family are extremely shaken and shocked by these terrible events, but thankfully all are safe”
“We understand that Police Scotland are currently undertaking a criminal investigation.”
“Peter and his family will of course receive the full support and care of everyone at the Club.” '

Me too. He's not particularly liked by sections of their support but his biggest failing seems to be hiring/not sacking Lennon quick enough. Anything is possible but I'd find it hard to believe they'd set fire to his house for that.

Looking at the house aswell there's a big enough walk up to the house with gates and the house isn't adjoined to other homes either so was it really mistaken identity??? Whoever did it didn't just throw it from a car and off they drove either in my opinion. They knew which house they were targeting. I really genuinely hope I'm wrong and it wasn't football fans. I don't think people should underestimate the level of hate alot of Celtic fans have for lawwell either because a chunk of them genuinely despise him. Back in December they had a banner hung outside Celtic Park saying "shoot the board" ffs. They tried to attack their own team bus aswell and threw steel barriers at the cops. Not beyond the realms of possibility it could be a handful of nutcases in the support.

I'm not so sure. Civil disobedience is on the rise in the UK, just look at the riot in George Sq at the weekend that, by large, went unpunished. There's been a few of these events in recent history and as each one goes unpunished the numbers partaking and the severity of violence, vandalism, etc grows.
Similarly there have been multiple fire bombings of well known and sometimes unpopular people, which have gone unpunished. This gives others who maybe would have just talked about doing it the courage to follow through on their actions.
Additionally you're often looking at people from deprived backgrounds, who feel even if they're caught they've not got a lot to lose, but that's a whole other socio-economic debate.

Posted on the Rangers thread last night with a link to FollowFollow where some Rangers fans were calling for all out civil war with the Scottish Government. Most could just laugh this notion off as nonsense but it just takes one or two people to get a little carried away and before long there will a death.

Utter ****bags.I think some folk on here don't fully understand how much genuine hate and dislike a section of their support have for Lawwell. 10 in a row became an obsession for many of them and to collapse the way they have this season will have tipped many of them over the edge. They blame him more so than even Desmond or Lennon for the failure to win 10iar. Added to that you have the current buns winning the league and going mental all over Glasgow only adds fuel to the fire. It may very well turn out to be the doings of someone completely different but I wouldn't be ruling out angered and enraged fans either. Those two clubs in Glasgow are toxic and that environment in like a powder keg.

There's other means to get protection money from wealthy individuals other than firebombing someone's house. Don't see how they'd get money from him by firebombing his house and I'm sure by now if it was something got to do with gangs or a protection racket it would have come to light by now in the media or through other channels well before now that he received threats of some description in the past in relation to a protection rackets or gangsters.

The point about a protection racket is they make an exampke of you and punish you for not paying up. Others learn the lesson and comply and you are left in fear of your life paying even more so it doesn't happen again.
There is a problem in West Central Scotland unrelated to football which has been going on for a very long time. There is a smaller problem in the east and I'm sure you can think of say a pub owned by say a former footballer that had a visit from the Fire Brigade after a wee incediary incident but had hee haw link to football just violent organised crime.

I think that is more far fetched than thinking it was enraged nutters within the support. Guy has built up a pretty well respected business reputation and up until now nobody would even have put a connection between protection rackets and gangsters in the same bracket.

As i said earlier, i used to sing rebel songs in the 70's, i dont do that anymore, When he tried to kill our club, at the time that is how i felt, and how a lot of us felt. I can categorically say now i wish him no ill will.
Around that time I was shopping with my wife uptown. Then I was a middle ranking civil servant. Totally suburban and golf club member and so forth.
Walking along if I recall correctly Thistle street, a bloke walked out of a building just in front of us. Well it was Mercer. I unleashed a barrage of vile abuse and physical threats and he ran. I couldn't believe what I had done or almost had done if he hadn't ran. My wife was shaking with fear. I was appalled at what rage had been inside over his attempted killing of my club. One day one time and I'm glad he escaped my crazy actions.

Quite agree ,there are plenty of nutters on both sides of the great divide.From the time I was a kid the press used to love describing OF fans as being the most knowledgeable in football. It was rubbish then of course-the only thing they've ever been knowledgeable about is hating the other lot.

RTE news : Police say fire at Peter Lawwell's home was deliberate
http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2021/0519/1222556-fire-and-explosion-at-home-of-celtic-chief-lawwell/
Police treating it as deliberate so definitely not a case of mistaken identity or the wrong house. No mention of possible leads or links to organised criminals either. Anyways enjoy your evening folks off to have a few cold beers. GGTTH [emoji1184][emoji1184][emoji1184]
Sent from my SM-A515F using TapatalkOther than Celtic I know nothing about Lawell and his family. It won't be the first time a wayward son or daughter got on the wrong side of criminals. Right family, wrong intended target.
Still bang out of order.

Story I heard was that Neil Lennon was round the house, finalising his contract pay-off and he's burped sat opposite a lit candle.
I dont think it will come as any surprise that we wont allow posts wishing anybody dead on the forum. Just dont do it and use the report post function if needed

I suppose this means that this attack may not have been related to Celtc, but the fact that the Lawells are a high profile wealthy family.
We will have to see if the polis can find the culprit and the motive.

No problem with that JS. I only raised the Wallace Mercer in the context of behaviour not expecting what happened to happen.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure Allan Macgregor also has had his car set on fire during this season

Could be either side of old firm who were responsible for the attack. Certainly the Rangers fans celebrations fuelled anti-catholic bigotry:

After the shambles Lawwell has made at Celtic the last couple of seasons I would have thought the Union Bears would have been sending him a thank you card rather than burning his house .
Sure Rangers have improved , but 10 in a row was halted by Celtic’s own incompetence.

It may not be football related. How does Lawell make a living? Who are his friends? Who are his enemies?
This is Glasgow we're talking about.

If it’s connected to business and bigger and more lucrative areas than football, there’s a big chance the police might struggle to find out much about this crime. Maybe I’ve watched too much Line Of Duty. :greengrin

Is it not pretty obvious how he makes a living? He's been CEO of the biggest football club in the country for the last decade.

He was only paid £1m in 2019/20. Give the boy a break for wanting a bit extra.
