FOR clarity, Celtic Football Club has received confirmation that flags and banners will now be permitted at the match against St Johnstone on Boxing Day.

Last week, Celtic Football Club noted the advice given by local police regarding safety, flags and banners at the match.

We acknowledge we had not received final confirmation yesterday in terms of a change. However, we are pleased, following consultation and discussion over the past couple of days, that the initial decision has been reviewed by the Police and St Johnstone FC.

As we have said, football is about colour and atmosphere and creating a positive occasion for all and everything should be done to ensure that such an event can take place.

However, we should also bear in mind that supporter safety is of paramount importance and we would re-iterate, therefore, that we do not welcome any form of pyrotechnics or smoke bombs at our matches.

We want to see our matches played in a positive and safe atmosphere and we hope this will be the case on Boxing Day.

Vom 28.-30.3. findet die diesjährige St. Pauli/Celtic-Party in Hamburg statt. Ich werde mir das anschauen, weil an jenem Samstag Abend (29.3.) The Wakes als Headliner im Knust spielen werden. Die Knust-Karten sind zu erwerben unter:
https://www.tixforgigs.com/site/Pages/S ... px?ID=8419
Die Organisatoren haben ein wenig Pech, denn das St. Pauli-Heimspiel (gegen FĂĽrth) wurde auf den Freitag Abend terminiert. Das noch nicht tagesgenau terminierte Heimspiel der Celts gegen Ross County soll auf GroĂźbildleinwand gezeigt werden.

Soldiers avoid charges over sectarian songs at Ibrox

Wer waren nochmal die, die in Schottland immer alles unter den Teppich kehren? Wenn im Celtic Park zivile Zuschauer auf den Tribünen Roll of Honour singen setzts gleich Stadionverbote und Hausbesuche oder gleich Verhaftungen am Flughafen, aber wenn auf dem Rasen des Ibrox uniformierte Angehörige der Armee in ihrer Eigenschaft als Repräsentanten des Staates Großbritannien wirklich sectarian Songs wie Fathers Advice singen oder Schals mit 'Keep Ulster Protestant' in die Kameras halten, dann ist das natürlich kein Grund für irgendwelche Maßnahmen!

FOLLOWING the events which took place in Amsterdam in November around our Champions League match against Ajax, Celtic were inundated with complaints from fans regarding the conduct of the Amsterdam Police.

After the match, Celtic advised that they had engaged the services of a Dutch lawyer to investigate these complaints further. The lawyer, Jeroen Soeteman, has been reviewing the complaints passed to him by the Club so far and investigating matters further.

Celtic can now confirm that Mr Soeteman will be in Glasgow on Wednesday, January 29 and Thursday, January 30 to meet supporters with complaints, explain the process and discuss next steps.

The Club is happy to confirm that if, following those meetings, complaints to the Chief of Police are progressed by Mr Soeteman, the cost of the complaints process will be covered by the Club. Further details will be provided during the meetings.

If you would like to come along to Celtic Park with a view to learning more about the process and discuss lodging an official complaint please email jptaylor@celticfc.co.uk for details.

If you have already provided information, Jeroen Soeteman may be in contact with you shortly.

Celtic cleared by SPFL over fans' display of 'H banner' at Aberdeen match
The Scottish Professional Football League has decided not to take action against Celtic for a banner shown by their supporters in a league match with Aberdeen.

Und ich kann sie schon wieder heulen und mit den Zähnen knirschen hören! The unseen Fenian hnad strikes again!

"they fought and died for their wee bit hill and glen."
Könnte mir jemand "for their wee bit hill and glen" übersetzen?
Und das H steht fĂĽr H-Blocks?

"they fought and died for their wee bit hill and glen."
Könnte mir jemand "for their wee bit hill and glen" übersetzen?
Und das H steht fĂĽr H-Blocks?

Das ist, leicht abgewandelt, ne Zeile aus 'Flower of Scotland', der inoffiziellen schottischen Nationalhymne. Da geht es um die Männer, die im schottischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg und namentlich bei der Schlacht von Banockburn ihr Leben gelassen haben:

"O Flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen"

Männer also, die gekämpft haben und gestorben sind, wörtlich 'für ihr kleines bisschen Hügel und Tal', auch wenn so eine wortgenaue Übersetzung immer ein wenig holprig daherkommt.
Und das H steht in der Tat für die H-Blocks. Worum es damals ging war, dass es mehrere Verhaftungen von Leuten aus dem Umfeld der GB gegeben hatte, wegen des Singens von Roll of Honour, legitimiert durch die neue Gesetzgebung in Schottland, die maßgeblich von der SNP, also den schottischen Nationalisten, auf die Wege gebracht wurde. Aus Sicht der GB wollte man auf diese Scheinheiligkeit aufmerksam machen, weil die Hungerstreiker von 1981 in ihren Augen auch nichts anderes gemacht haben (Kämpfen und Sterben für ihre eigene Heimat) als die Männer von 1314, die einen aber von der SNP glorifiziert werden und die anderen kriminalisiert. Um dasselbe gings dann auch ein paar Tage später mit der Wallace/Sands-Aktion.

[wakes_green]

Vielen Dank, das ist sehr interessant!
Jetzt kapiere ich auch die Wallace/Sands-Choreo in der CL gegen Milan (und wette, die UEFA hat keinen Schimmer, worum es geht - trotz oder gerade wegen ihrer Sanktionen)

Celtic Football Club statement

Celtic have called for a review of the Offensive Behaviour at Football Grounds Act to be brought forward and have labelled it ´unhelpful and counter-productive´.
The Scottish Government introduced the legislation in 2012 and promised a review after two full football seasons of operation. However, Celtic believe that there is already sufficient evidence of the Act´s ´unhelpfulness and negative impacts´ to justify an immediate review with action to follow.
Celtic have all along opposed this legislation which has been used to create a general presumption that different laws should apply to football supporters as distinct from society as a whole.
This has inevitably led to a sense of discrimination across Scottish football and has brought the law into disrepute when tested in the criminal courts. It has also acted as a barrier to our own efforts to encourage supporters to behave in a way which is consistent with the club´s proud history and reputation.
We believe the Scottish Government should review, as a matter of urgency, the way in which this unhelpful and counter-productive Act is operating.
Celtic have always valued a positive relationship with the police and we are concerned that they too have now been put in the position of enforcing legislation which is provocative and does not command widespread respect.
The Scottish Government has conceded the need to review the workings of the legislation but we see no need for delay since there is plenty of evidence available, not least from the comments of Sheriffs who have had to deal with cases arising from it.
It would be helpful if the new season could kick off in August with these issues resolved so that everyone could concentrate on promoting the best possible environment for Scottish football and marginalising unwelcome influences which attach themselves to it.

Was die Green Brigade an Stimmung ausmacht, sieht man hier gut (Spiel gegen Mirren):

Das ist gegenĂĽber z.B. dem Pokalspiel gegen Aberdeen ein Quantensprung.

Video: A Celtic fan was filmed dancing for two police officers at Parkhead on Saturday as his team celebrated winning the league.
The fan dances to songs by the Black Eyed Peas and Depeche Mode and tries to get the attention of two police officers who are, seemingly unimpressed by his antics. The video was filmed as Celtic began their title party after the 1-1 draw with Ross County on Saturday. The happy supporter clearly gets carried away with his team’s title win as he tries to goad the officers into joining in the celebrations, both however remained professional throughout the performance, though they do eventually manage a smile as they see the funny side.
