If you follow the right people you'll have seen the digs have been made for years. Many of those involved were at the coal face when the club was saved. The claims are that Matt embellished a lot of his involvement in later years. |

I'd buy a 'Slipped on the coke and sued in Paradise' t-shirt if anyone makes one. Would be better than any of that cringey pish he comes out with.

. This the squad on here need to be able to seperate fact from fiction, if Henke ran into the back of your car at the traffic lights you wouldn't claim your insurance to get car back on the road. It's the #westwingcfc - some people disliked Matt long before he slipped at Celtic Park but that's not good enough in my opinion where a guy gets a head injury like that |

He already makes enough off the club with his t-shirt business. |

Just saw the photos there. He's definitely taken a sore one. Looks like he's been glassed. If the concrete is more slippy than it used to be, that should be dealt with if there's a risk of accidents. People don't just sit down or stand still and chuck their hat in the air at a goal. Aside from that, I've no idea of the details other than what's been posted. Maybe if a Celtic employee slipped inside the building on a wet floor and burst their head open, they would claim compensation as well. |

If the guy was claiming off the council, nobody would bat an eyelid. But because it's Celtic, folk are getting on their high horse. Bonkers. |

You are a mentalist if you think that someone who has received any kind of injury from using CP facilities shouldn't be suing the club if they are potentially liable. Honestly. |

It doesn't really tho. The guy has taken a serious injury, if it's proven to be his fault he'll get zilch but a big scar and a pile of abuse. On the other hand if it is found that it wasn't his fault and Celtic are negligent then he should be compensated and more importantly the club need to put corrective procedures in place - for the sake of you or me or our kids. |

How serious an injury? One that apparently meant he needed 4 months assistance with his work (for which he’s apparently claiming) but yet he was out on the piss with Frank McAvennie 2 weeks after the incident. |

I think by anyone's definition he sustained a serious injury. It's up to the medics to assess the impact and the legal's to determine the validity |

Club said he was rushing over seats to get out and it was his responsibility to watch where he was placing his feet. Sounds like he’s been stepping through empty rows instead of waiting in the queue |

He is quite right to sue the club if he fell and by the looks of what I seen this morning it was a sore one. Club can/will be liable potentially like any other business. I also see he is going to give £55k to bowel cancer charity so good on him. Diont know him but he seems a thoroughly decent fella (also pulling up the wee slimeball Mark Wilson for The Ashton Lane Paul Paton incident as well) Spending £4 million on stadium improvements so should be a thorough toilet refit (at the moment dont look out of place at the Anchor bar @ parkhead cross) & the floors actually are pretty bad- must be worse if you are over 60 around the stadium for slipping. The stadium for me anyway looks a bit dated inside as well albeit most of the work being done is on the outside form what I can gather. Edited by littlegmbhoy, 19 Jun 2018, 10:22 AM.

"This case is about safety and nothing else". So concerned was Matt for the safety of fellow supporters he waited 2 and 1/2 years for someone else to mention it. There's not a chance he's giving 55k to charity and I don't think his tweet suggests he is. There's 2 sides to this story and the fact court papers state: “It was [Mr McGlone’s] duty not to rush through rows of seating in the stadium." suggests to me that Matt was either clambering over rows or trying to rush through empty rows to reach another exit. He's had the opportunity to explain in greater detail. He's chosen not to do so. |

It surprises me that people are calling the guy to task. The decision in court will be based on nothing other than the evidence. If he was clambering over seats and fell then the court will take a view. If he fell on slippy floors doing nothing other than going about his usual business then the judge will take another view. The judge won't be in the least bothered if the guy is a knob or a saint if the evidence demonstrates he sustained injury on account of a factor that Celtic ought to have guarded against. If he wins damages and keeps it or donates it to charity is also irrelevant. The idea that you can't sue the club you support is beyond daft. |

Mate he is quite clealry stated/tweeted - "I have always fronted things up in my life. For those who wish to believe this £60,000 figure, I will give £55,000 to Bowel Cancer UK." Think thats pretty clear he is doanting £55k to a charity..you seem to suggest he is telling lies then up to you but he has stated the above word for word. |

Why should he have to explain in detail to you or anyone else? I'll be treating the club's version of events with the same scepticism you're treating McGlone's. Let the court decide and bitch about it then. No idea why McGlone should attract such flak. Would there be this furore if another supporter had put in a claim? |
