MAD JOE - Another Spewing Of Pish


Recommended Posts

Over the next three weeks or so the Celtic supporters are going to once again be put to the test; and on different issues; as a support we need to be vigilant and be very careful how we react to certain situations.

First test will come this week in Madrid, the problem here will be that Madrid if full of Spanish people; well spotted I hear you say; so let me explain.

Madrid as you know is the capital of Spain, and the inhabitants of the city are very proud of that fact; so where is the problem? Hopefully there will not be a problem.

Some of our supporters over the years have grown fond of the Basque struggle for independence; similar in some ways to the struggles in Ireland and Palestine; and in support of those struggles some of our supporters like to carry the Basque flag.

While we have it in good authority the Celtic supporters will be made most welcome in the city and in the stadium itself; we are informed that the displaying of the Basque flag would not be looked on favourably by the police or security; and they may well try and remove them from the stadium.

Test No 2 comes at Snake Mountain on Sunday; once again I hear we may be subjected to a minutes silence for two Rangers supporters who died fifty years ago; and for a former player who has recently passed away (the minutes silence has yet to be confirmed). While I have no problem whatsoever with people paying their respect to those who have gone before us; it seems that every time we play them there is some kind of ceremony taking place; and I donâ??t believe itâ??s all coincidence.

The 3rd test and maybe the most serious comes on October 2nd when we go to Little Snake Mountain in Edinburgh; the home of Heart of Midlothian Football Club, there has always been a poisonous atmosphere there, but with the astonishing acquittal of Hearts supporter John Wilson on charges of assaulting Neil Lennon the atmosphere could be even worse.

I, along with the Celtic Trust met with Celticâ??s Head of Operations Ronnie Hawthorn to discuss a few issues regarding security. Ronnie will have his pre-match security meeting for Tynecastle next week; I will keep you informed of any developments on that front.

Back to Snake Mountain on Sunday; recent incidents would appear to suggest that the police still donâ??t know what they are doing in terms of the new offensive behaviour legislation. I would suggest that if any Celtic supporter feels they are being unfairly dealt with; there are a couple of things you should do.

First of all get the number of any member of the police or security you are dealing with; get details of any witnesses; and get video evidence if possible; I suggest these only as a precaution; hopefully it will not be required.

As I said in the other thread deluded. Why doesn't the Celtic head of operations tell them to leave the terrorist flags in the bin dont sing offensive songs and if you can't stand quite for one minute while other people remember someone who has passed on then stay in your dirty flea ridden bed on the day and Shag your mother sister and any other relation who happens by.
