Probably made double that selling them.

Surely it means 800k.

A total joke, and shows that UEFA don't care about their rules being flaunted.

 

A €10,000 fine for what is the latest in a long line of transgressions by Celtic and their fans just gives them carte blanche to continue with the political, racist, bigoted and pro-terrorist attitude that continuously permeates from that club.

They fined St. Johnstone 14k for ONE flag. Now there is a concerted effort by hundreds of fans, in and outside the stadium, despite a UEFA direction to stop that happening. And they are fined less ... and despite several fines within the last few years. That is astonishing. Hapoel should make their disgust known.

Yip, I'd love to know how they arrived at that figure. I said it before but were Rangers not banned from an away game for fans singing nasty songs? The St. Johnstone comparison really hits home as to how bizzare the figure is.

[der Berliner 3,346]

Methinks the current fine is half of what they paid the last time ...

 

Serial offenders, going straight against UEFA direction for that specific game in a concerted manner ... and getting away with that. Again.

[StuGers 477]

I note that the mass media revisionism is in full flow as well reporting that they were fined for merely flying the Palestinian flag.... of course, we must have imagined the harassment of Israeli fans outside of the stadium resulting in the requirement of police escorts, mass organised political display in the stadium and the flying of a massive banner with a grim reaper done up in Arab-style attire. That must have been a vivid dream / nightmare I had!

Looks like John Delaney has been helping them again

UEFA is corrupt. Platini proved that. If you have contacts in UEFA you'll be fine.
