ian1964 10,413 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 A statement on the Green Brigade website read: “Following the events of Friday night’s match against Motherwell at Fir Park, the Green Brigade would like to clarify our position on a couple of issues. “Firstly we do not condone the breaking of seats nor do we welcome pyrotechnics being thrown on the park. We as a group are as disappointed as any about such indefensible behaviour and regret that it happened on our watch. “Whilst it was not members of our group behaving in this manner, we accept the fact that these actions took place behind our banner in what was an unofficial ‘Green Brigade section’ and furthermore that the fans within this area are associated to our group whether they are members or not. “It is particularly disappointing given how hard we have worked as a member organisation of Fans Against Criminalisation and of our own accord to fight the criminalisation of football supporters as we realise the damage that the events of Friday night could have on our efforts to challenge the continued harassment of Celtic fans by Police Scotland. “Ultimately, we should have had greater control of the bodies present within our block and our failure to do so has resulted in events which are unacceptable and we will strive to ensure that such scenes are not repeated.” The extent of Green Brigade involvement at Fir Park is bound to be debated but there can be no doubt that 100 plus thugs were in the ground with a large number of others sympathetic to their actions. Equally obvious was the fact that the police were content to allow the seat breaking and smoke bomb throwing to take place without intervention. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How ironic. Did they not proof read that before publishing it. Deny and deflect, it's the Glasgow Celtic way. Pathetic stuff. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc 280 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Do these guys not realise how utterly stupid they look and sound after this. Basically is comes down to Police intervene to stop mindless vandalism = Anti-Irish police brutality/police state/persecution/victimization (insert as appropriate) Police don't intervene to stop mindless vandalism = Police not doing their job You couldn't make this up! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
