Zappa 0 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Got a phone call earlier on from my parents who live near Airbles station on Airbles Road in Motherwell and they said there's was mega chaos after the match tonight. The mass of police and ambulance sirens interrupted their TV viewing and they looked out to see total chaos. Will be interesting to see if anything is reported in the mainstream media. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Looks like they were at it in the stadium as an appetizer for what you speak of ... Ambrose's night at Fir Park spoiled by Celtic fans ripping up seats and letting off flares during Motherwell rout By Graeme Yorke PUBLISHED: 23:48 GMT, 6 December 2013 | UPDATED: 00:03 GMT, 7 December 2013 Efe Ambrose celebrated the best day of his life in spectacular fashion – on a night when a 5-0 Celtic win over Motherwell was marred by the actions of visiting fans at Fir Park. Neil Lennon’s men swept to victory but could yet face disciplinary repercussions, as away supporters in the South Stand damaged seats and let off flares and smoke bombs before and during the game. SPFL match delegate Alan Dick inspected the damage post-match and, depending on the content of his report, the visiting support may end up souring memories of an occasion when Celtic were superb – and Ambrose was more than memorable.

The campaign is a measured response to the unfortunate chain of events at Villa Park in October that led to the assistant referee Dave Bryan being struck by a flare thrown from the Tottenham end during the match between Aston Villa and Spurs.

ian1964 10,409 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scot...k-outrage.html CELTIC fans brought shame on the club last night after ripping up seats a rivals’ ground then daubing them with offensive IRA slogans. Yobs rampaged through the South Stand at Motherwell’s Fir Park ground. During the match dozens of seats were ripped up, metal frames bent out of shape, 18 smoke bombs, three fireworks and a flare were let off and IRA slogans left on chairs which were covered with stickers from the controversial Green Brigade. F*** you Lawwell — a reference to Celtic’s Chief Executive Peter Lawwell — was scrawled on another chair. Scottish Professional Football League and Celtic security delegates were inspecting the damage. Celtic — who won the league match 5-0 — are subject of a UEFA hearing after the Green Brigade unfurled banners depicting William Wallace and Irish hunger striker Bobby Sands before November’s Champions League tie with AC Milan. A police spokesman said: “Inquiries are on going.” 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy steel 0 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Hard to believe the Tims have been so stupid this last few weeks. I mean, hugely enjoyable, but talk about shooting yourself in the foot! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,409 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 There is about three match reports in the record and unless I've missed it the only comment relating to the BHEASTS riot is: Calls from the Scottish Football Association to banish pyrotechnics were not heeded as a flare was lit in the Celtic end before a green smoke bomb was thrown on the pitch before the game. There was a more positive display from that section as a banner of Nelson Mandela was held up as fans paid tribute to the former South African leader with a minute's applause. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-match-reports/motherwell-0-celtic-5-five-2899839 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,409 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 If the BHEASTS get to the Scottish Cup semi final at Ibrox you dread to think what damage they will do to our ground! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Well from what my parents were saying last night, it sounded as though they continued their rioting out in the streets after the match. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, hugely enjoyable, but talk about shooting yourself in the foot! They've completely lost the plot. The fact that the authorities aren't hammering them for their actions speaks volumes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
