pretty much ...So clubs can't be held responsible for fan behaviour?
Another nail in the strict liability coffin.

Clubs have to take all reasonable steps to ensure the behaviour of their fans. We put out regular reminders on the website and in the matchday programme etc.If true, that's setting a very dangerous precedent, where fans can sing and do what they want and the club escapes punishment as long as they have a wee talk with supporters reps before the game. Mental.
So just Hearts fans then?Just one club's fans
For instance, coining Kris Boyd is acceptable, but not Neil Lennon

Wasn't the Hearts fans who got away with coining BoydSo just Hearts fans then?
It was the Hearts fans who coined Lennon though.Wasn't the Hearts fans who got away with coining Boyd
Surely nobody is surprised?
The only thing that really surprises me is the robust defence of the SFA/Celtic’s referees on here.
They now control virtually everything and don’t even try to hide it.
We are perhaps a lot further away from a league flag than 4 key players.
Surely if you meet with someones fans, warn them about singing certain songs, then they basically ignore you, then punishment should be easy
"Nailed to that ground", that was the phrase that was used.
All they have to do is claim they are doing what they can to stem the problem. 'What they can' is the weak point. You'll never hear them say, 'we can do no more' because there is plenty slack left and well they know it !That's exactly what the situation is for all clubs, including us. The club can't be punished as long as they're seen to be condemning it and reminding supporters not to do it. It's why Rangers released the statement after the Steve Clarke carry on, it's why Ann Budge closed a section of Tynecastle. Realistically, clubs can't be held responsible for adults singing songs.
The mentally challenged board are shite scared of the green brigadeCeltic facilitate and encourage and engage with them on a weekly basis.
Nope.Can someone refresh my memory - were we charged over the Steve Clarke song?
If not then I’m not sure what folk expect them to do.
Well we can sing what we wantIt's got f*ck all to do with Celtic having a talk with the Green Brigade.
How many times do these c*nts act out and get away with it from banners to chanting about the IRA etc.
It really is simple in the sense of:
DOB/H*n = Fair game
F£nian = bad and charges will be brought against you.
It will take player being either seriously injured by a fan or even killed for anything serious to be done in terms of fan behaviour which is quite disgusting tbh
Celtic facilitate and encourage and engage with them on a weekly basis.
Who would back us though? Petrie and the rest of the SPL were only too happy to put the boot in. Then you have Mulroney doing his master's biddingOk, we've sat back so long.
I am tempted to suggest a boycott of away grounds, until all clubs approach the SFA and demand a more transparent and even governing body.
This Celtc rule the roost shit has to stop.
We could assure them that we would vote for a more even spread of TV money as a carrot, beyond the financial loss if they refuse to help us obtain a fair and just SFA, by our boycotting their stadiums.
Stand with us and fight this stinking corrupt Bheast led bunch.
Let me get this right. The Peasants supposedly warned the Gangrene Brigade pre-match about sectarian singing, yet it was ignored and still happened anyway ?
Brown gets away with murder on and off the park.
Lennon can do and say anything he pleases in the dugout.
Their fans can act with impunity in the stands.
Is this where we are?
