I see that the Tims have been fined £21,000 by UEFA, in light of their behaviour against Udinese in December, whereby TGFITW unveiled banners reading "F*** UEFA" and also set of flares.
All in response to UEFA initially fining them for singing Pro-IRA songs.
Not been a great fortnight for Celtic Football Club

Tims Fined By UEFA

21k isnt worth the admin fees for uefa or celtic.
Token fine.
All fines should be set at 100k at least with no maximum....these fines dont scratch the surface.
Manky getts. They. Are.

Has the SPL fined Rangers yet for sectarian songs v Kilmarnock, or has that been conveniently forgotten about.

Completely different governing bodies and completely different situations to be honest - what can the SPL really do to Rangers anyway? Fine them when they have no money? There's no precedent for points deduction in relation to crowd behaviour, so that would be hard to justify.
I dare say it will be swept under the rug as it always is, with the above used as a justification in one manner or another.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

I thought it was interesting that Lawell and Lennon had made comments that these guys were not real celtc supporters. Obviously because they brought shame on the club or negative press, yet Lennon considers himself to be a true celtc manager and thinks his behaviour is OK.
FWIW these guys travelled to a game in Italy, which makes them supporters in my book, even if the protest cost their club money. Fans are getting short changed all the time and the football authorities who refuse to sort out their own coruption ought to be stood up to. FIFA clearly worse than UEFA.

It is an embarrassment for Scotland when the country's two major representatives in europe are constantly being hauled over the coals for the behaviour of their fans. The rest of the continent must think we're a backward country of savages.
That fine is small change to Celtic. What's it going to achieve? They and Rangers should be threatened with stand closures and be warned of possible bans from future competitions. Der Hun recently had their away support banned for a match.HIBERNIAN FC - ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY SINCE 1875

I should have also added that I'm pleased UEFA are at least doing something by highlighting the problem, unlike the Scottish football authorities who have ignored the behaviour of Old Firm fans since year dot. If fans of smaller clubs behaved the same, there would be moral indignation form the SPL/SFA and pious admonition liberally forthcoming.

I know that there is a certain amount of credibility that you get for digging deep to follow your team abroad, but the Celtc away support are little better than effluent and these subhumans are just effluent with the bus fare.

While I'm perfectly happy for them to be fined for singing PIRA nonsense, I don't see why a club should be fined for a banner that says something rude about UEFA. What is the crime?

So how come they play 40 odd games per season in Scotland where they sing the same songs and the SFA/SPL do nothing about it. Is it just that those damned UEFA chaps have better hearing.

I agree. To be fined for swearing on a banner is just wrong to me.HIBERNIAN FC - ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY SINCE 1875

Out of curiosity what were the Pro IRA songs that they sang to get the original fine?
Dont agree with fining them for the banner. Freedom of speech and all that.......

The Boys of the Old Brigade, Ooh Ah Up the Ra, Rifles of the IRA, Glasgow Celtic IRA (a new one to me, but I've heard them singing it a few times now), Go Home British Soldiers...Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Fining them for singing about the IRA,.... good.
Fining them for an "offensive banner" when the only people that could be offended are UEFA?.... Total Joke.

The banner was in response to the original fine, so I have no problem with UEFA's stance. At least they're willing to take action against the Ugly Sisters - has Vincent Lunny issued a Notice of Complaint to either of them following last Sunday's love-in at Ibrox?
