Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
If Celtic had refused to comment, that would have been the story the MSM would have spun. The board did the right thing -for once.
Tend to agree. Now. A winger who can play thru the middle, a quality centre-hauf, and James fecking McCarthy please! James McCarthy? Why? We've got about 10 midfield players. Absolutely no chance, and we shouldn't be going near him. I wouldn't even sign him on a greatly reduced outlay, which in itself is just fantasy.
He'll be sold to some muggy outfit down south for an extortionate amount of money, he'll earn an extortionate amount of money, and his ceiling will probably be slightly better than the decidedly average Everton career he's managed to date.

There is clearly now a campaign to discredit all thinks Celtic in this country
We are now top dogs and the majority hate it we have to be smart
As it has been pointed out songs about Doyle burns stein and the lions have been put down to banter
They have stepped up their campaign after the huns got put out of europe to deflect on what is going on over there and at theSFA
It is time to wise up and stop giving them a stick to beat us with
We need to get back to what is important to address the cheating from the huns and the cover up with the powers at be
Word! Discrediting our achievements, dismissing our grievances, sensationalising misdemeanours, unsettling players and irritating the manager: it's all in their armoury, and the closer we get to 10 - and the pursuit of justice - the worse it will become. All the more reason for everyone to screw the nut. Fight hard and clever, all of us. Yep
Just seen a comment from Regan congratulating us for last night, has he ever done this in the past I wonder?
C'mon the Board, statement out .........we are waiting

my 2 sons have ST's in the safe standing area. Letter received from the board today. If they want to remain in the SS area, they must agree to:-
Only occupy allocated seat Not use flares, fireworks or pyrotechnics Not to throw objects or missiles Not to engage in hate speech or behaviour Not to display banners or engage in any singing / chanting which could reasonably be considered to be racial, sectarian, political, homophobic or discrimatory. Not to block aisles and or vomitories (including from orchestrated lateral movement) not to engage in overcrowding, surging or crushing in section To respect and respond to the reasonable directions of stewards and the police and to raise any concerns with the club after the event Not to obstruct crowd movement Not to engage in rapid crowd movement or rushing (including lateral movement) Not to engage in vigorous movement in a stationary crowd(particularly including moshing) Not to engage in conduct that may lead to falls, including crowd surfing Not to engage in conduct that may lead to falling objects / people (including crowd surfers)
There isn't an approved song list with the letter, or a suitable dress code, however, seems the sanitisation of the SS area has begun. Can't see the GB agreeing to theses restrictions, so imagine that they will no longer be there and we'll be back to the morgue it was before they became ring masters.

I see nothing wrong with the club's statement on the Lee Rigby stuff.
The issue is their silence on everything else, I'd have no issue with it either if they'd opened their fecking gubs re, well we've all seen the list numerous times now.
Whether or not Celtic commented on the matters you'd have liked them to, this statement is grossly stupid and offends against the first rule of PR, which is not to give a bad news story fresh impetus. This has simply kicked it into the next news cycle (it's now leading BBC Scotland online news). The guys singing the song appear to be barely-sentient creatures and they deserve what's coming to them. But if clubs are now expected to comment on the feral behaviour of half a dozen "fans" outside stadiums, the PR teams at every club in the U.K. are going to be very busy indeed. Silly precedent they've set. Doesn't sound to me that you actually know much about PR if that's your take on it. I'd have said the first rule of PR is to deal with the issue in the precisely the way the club did. Get your strong statement out, say it's nothing to do with the club but if the club find out who they are and have the means to do so, then they'll do all in their power to run the scum to ground. I'd suspect that means giving information to the authorities if need be.
Let's just see how long this is headline news. I suspect if your way had been followed then it would have given oxygen to the story for days to come, along the lines of "Celtic has still to condemn the action of these vile supporters".

Seems fair enough conditions for a safe standing section. I disagree completely. I thought the whole point of the Safe Standing area was to allow fans to display their exuberant side. The board seem to want fans to stand still, only sing approved songs and never to air any political feelings. I can't see there being a rush to get seats in the area. Fans might as well just sit in their current seats and not sing or jump about there. Unless you think removing the GB & sanitising the SS section will somehow improve the atmosphere at CP. We were the 1st club in the UK to introduce SS area and could be the 1st club in the UK to close the SS area.

Celtic have to operate the SS section under the auspices of the legislation re stadium safety that exists now. The area was never going to the jungle. None of the requirements look unreasonable in that context.

Safe Standing areas are supposed to give fans the opportunity to jump about, otherwise why have them? The SS area have kept the atmosphere going at CP, they lift the team and keep them going (even Brendan admits to this) and can unnerve the opposition. Do you imagine these restriction will help or hinder that? If other areas of the ground make political points, e.g. fly Palestine flags, unfurl banners not approved by the board, sing political songs (the rebs?) will they also be given conditions to agree to, or is it just the SS area that has to conform?

Clue - Safe Standing Area. Not Jump About Area.
And yes, when you buy a ticket or season ticket for Celtic Park, there's a wee box to tick called 'Terms And Conditions.'

Fans might as well just sit in their current seats and not sing or jump about there. Unless you think removing the GB & sanitising the SS section will somehow improve the atmosphere at CP. We were the 1st club in the UK to introduce SS area and could be the 1st club in the UK to close the SS area.
No the purpose of safe standing was to allow people to safely stand at football matches See I thought it was to allow that and to be able to celebrate without the fear of falling over chairs in a restricted space.
I've not been in the standing section but is there not more space than in a normal seating area?

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Celtic have to operate the SS section under the auspices of the legislation re stadium safety that exists now. The area was never going to the jungle. None of the requirements look unreasonable in that context.
If that's the conditions they are insisting on, then they might as well just close the section and be done with it. Safe Standing areas are supposed to give fans the opportunity to jump about, otherwise why have them? The SS area have kept the atmosphere going at CP, they lift the team and keep them going (even Brendan admits to this) and can unnerve the opposition. Do you imagine these restriction will help or hinder that? If other areas of the ground make political points, e.g. fly Palestine flags, unfurl banners not approved by the board, sing political songs (the rebs?) will they also be given conditions to agree to, or is it just the SS area that has to conform?

The big weans in the standing section behave like wee weans at school shocker They were given the standing section on trust not to do anything daft or dangerous. Bingo the flares and moving out of their seat spaces! Then they say but you never said don't do x or y. So now the club spell things out and they're unhappy

I've not been in the standing section but is there not more space than in a normal seating area? Personal space is the same although when seats are unlocked for Euro games then the personal space is actually less in the standing section as the seats don't spring back up.
