Celtic Fined Again


Recommended Posts

Ten times since 2011 according to STV:

 

August 2016: Hapoel Be'er Sheva - €10,000 fine for display of Palestinian flags

February 2016: Fenerbahce - €13,000 fine for improper conduct

March 2015: Inter Milan (A) - €8,000 for improper conduct of team, €5,000 fine for flares

February 2015: Dinamo Zagreb (A) - €10,000 fine for inappropriate crowd behaviour

July 2014: KR Reykjavik (H) - fine for illicit banner

December 2013: AC Milan (H) - fine for illicit banner

July 2013: Cliftonville (H) - fine for flares

March 2012: Udinese (A) - fine for flares and illicit banner

December 2011: Rennes (A) - fine for illicit chanting

 

Remember that St. Johnstone was fined 14k by UEFA for displaying ONE Palestinian flag in a European tie. They - despite being warned in advance by UEFA - have a concerted effort around the ground and hundreds of Palestinian flags inside it, and get a 10k fine. Utterly beyond joke.

 

 

This is taken from the UEFA Disciplinary Regulation 2014 ....

 

Article 19 - Recidivism

1. Recidivism occurs if another offence of a similar nature is committed within:

 

 

a) one year of the previous offence if that offence was punished with a one-match suspension;

 

 

b) three years of the previous offence if that offence was punished with a two-match suspension;

 

 

c) ten years of the previous offence if that offence was related to match-fixing or corruption;

 

 

d) five years of the previous offence in all other cases.

 

2. Recidivism counts as an aggravating circumstance.

 

FFers remark: I think that a) and b) apply to individuals, but d) looks as if that should be applied to clubs. That being the case, Celtic, with their appalling disciplinary record, must fall foul of this rule and should be dealt with accordingly.
