first time I've ever seen this guy, but reading all his posted claims, when you see him you'd think he'd be a bit bigger than just being a little scrawny pile of crap, who might get blown away in a big wind.

 

makes you laugh, couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag, unless he was in there with 50 other similar minded tossers.

 

But it gives you an idea of what bile his family or friends must be passing to these people. What sort of generation are society bringing through. It is disgusting.

Have these idiots no idea who Padriag Mullan is? He is a dirty bigot who should be jailed for his outbursts on Facebook and Twitter.

 

The biggest question is how they continue to escape prosecution for something so blatant.Phil multi-names is the most classic example of all with some of his comments about Rangers and its supporters. Do I detect an influence by Mulholland QC in all of this on their behalf?

FIVE Celtic fans were last night convicted of acts of violence and disorder against Dutch police officers during clashes in Amsterdam ahead of the Parkhead side’s fixture with Ajax earlier this month.

A court in Amsterdam found five of the six fans facing charges guilty. The sixth was acquitted. The five were sentenced to between one and two months detention following a late night hearing at the Netherlands’ court yesterday. All five were released pending an appeal.

A Celtic fan had earlier said he feared for his life when he was allegedly set upon by undercover police officers ahead of the Parkhead side’s clash with Ajax in Holland earlier this month.

Damian Dobbin told a court in Amsterdam last night that six or seven plainclothed officers attacked him leaving his bleeding in the city’s Dam Square.

The 23-year-old is on trial alongside five other fans following the violent scenes on 6 November.

Defendants said they thought that those they were fighting were Ajax “hooligans” and not police.

He said: “From nowhere six or seven, what we thought were hooligans, came running from nowhere and basically attacked us. All we done was basically fight for our lives because I was on the ground, I was covered in blood.”

Padraig Mullan, 28, from Northern Ireland, also told the court: “All these guys dressed like hooligans with their hoods up and their coats zipped up came charging towards all of us...all the Celtic fans, and on the way past one of these guys ran past us and hit my girlfriend with his arm and knocked her to the floor. The guy went on and started attacking another Celtic fan.”

Christiaan Visser, representing the six fans, had earlier asked the judge to free his clients, arguing they had been subjected to disproportionate violence by plain clothes police officers who mingled with the crowd at Dam Square.

He also claimed that police statements were unreliable and failed to identify which supporters had been involved in the actual clash.

The defendants, aged between 20 and 49, said in their statements that they were unaware that the individuals they fought with were police officers at the time.

Two supporters, Andy Vance, from Blantyre, and Mr Mullan, from Northern Ireland, have spent more than two weeks in custody between the match with Ajax and yesterday’s hearing.

Officers arrested 44 supporters during the incident, including 18 Celtic supporters. Twelve of the fans of the Parkhead side were previously released after each being fined up to €500, with another ten were sent home before the game.

Dutch police said eight plainclothed officers were injured in the incident, which resulted in riot and mounted police descending on Dam Square.

The court was shown video footage of the clashes that were shared on YouTube, which showed a group of Celtic supporters chasing a man believed to be a plainclothed police officer before attacking him.

Other footage taken from the city centre showed several men, believed to be plainclothed officers, restraining Celtic supporters before repeatedly kicking and punching them.

Celtic have previously stated that they were investigating the incident and said that the violence came after their fans had been “subjected to a high degree of provocation”.

On the night before the match, a large number of masked Ajax supporters attacked Celtic supporters in the Old Sailor Cafe in Amsterdam’s red light district, with footage showing figures in masks smashing the windows of the bar.

Nine Dutch fans were arrested in the incident, which was caught on police CCTV.

Local TV station AT5 recorded an interview with a Celtic supporter who sustained injuries to his face. He said: “Police came right through the middle hitting everybody and anybody. If you weren’t quick to move out the way, that’s what you got.”

An image of a police dog biting a Celtic fan in Dam Square was captured by an agency photographer.

Following complaints about police behaviour, the Dutch public prosecutor has received “video footage and photographic material of the disturbances” which are now being reviewed, while police in Amsterdam are “conducting an internal review of the incident.”

The Fans Against Criminalisation held an event in Glasgow at the weekend to compile eyewitness accounts from Celtic fans who were in Amsterdam during the violence that broke out between 5pm and 6pm. The group planned to submit information they compiled to the lawyers representing the Celtic fans at the trial.
