John Paul Murphy from Maryhill

Nuff said

If he was a Cel'ic fan then why was he showing McManus the finger,i don't get that bit.

Probably cos he plays for Scotland

These Plastics don't know any better

GO HOME

What a fantastically well thought out, balanced and beautifully presented post.

You give me hope that not all rankers fans are..................... ah who am I kidding.

Yer a fud.

OK then O'Einstein, why did he do it then?

He thought we need an extra pair of legs against this mob. Am yer man

If you keep up to date with what goes on here you should know better than to call me this.

As for why he did it?

Fcuked if I know why anyone out of their brains on Buckie and drugs would do ........oh wait, I may just have yer answer.

Once more and this time pay attention.

YER A FUD!

A fat fud at that.

Why did he run on the pitch in the 35th minute?

Sounds like he's in need of a brain donation, he'll probably cost Celtic £10,000 or however much of the fine that was suspended after the Milan game.

Well it’s not like we can’t afford it.

At least this way we’ll know where our money has went!

That makes it alright in your eyes?

DOH!!!!!!

Of course not.

DOH!!!!!!

I had an image of this muppet in my head and I wasn't far wrong

The young ned has had more Champions League experience this year that the whole Rangers squad put together.

Yes and was your only attacking option on Wednesday too

Doesn't hide the FACT that Sellick have a huge problem with fans at the Spuddome

Really? Must have missed his goal then but I did see Scott McDonalds.

The ned has had more time on the park in the Champions League than the whole Rangers squad. How sad.

It as 1-1, not 0-1.



Hardly.

A problem with the fans is debatable, but a problem with the stewarding is evident.

Well not necessarily. If someone is wanting to get onto the pitch then the odds are heavily in their favour. The only way to halt that would be to have a ring of stewards surround the pitch for the duration of the game, which isn’t going to happen.

Let's look at the facts shall we

In recent times there have been 3 pitch invasions at European games, two at the Spuddome and one at Ibrox

ALL THREE were carried out by Sellick fans

Probably a good idea 2 start introducing it at "spuddome" tho lol

I'm not sure you can call three individual fans taking to the field invasions.

Good point - it's quite clear that Scotland’s Shame FC have a problem with stewarding at The Govan Reichstag.

No problem, they got a couple of good digs into the toothless scumbag before he managed to latch onto the post

Agree,impossible to prevent one person getting on to pitch.Seems to be a rascal who did-out on bail for two offences and remanded to custody this time.Could happen to any team but given the amount of nutcases amongst Celtic and Rangers supporters,much more likely.

I believe a palpable stewarding presence is enough to deter even the most inebriated individual from attempting to enter the field of play.
It's a bigger problem at Celtic park than at Ibrox, so I'm not sure it can simply be attributed to the "drunken fans" - as Ibrox has its fair share as well.

It really isn't. There is nothing a steward can do to stop an individual getting onto the playing surface, unless as glasnost says you have a ring of stewards round the pitch the entire game.

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often to be honest.

i'm sure there is a stadium in argentina with a moat around the pitch, maybe celtic should do a feasibility study for something like this.

I was referring to stewarding as a method of deterrence, rather than the actual physical capability of stewards to keep supporters off the field.
I think if the stewarding is sufficient, and visible, then even inebriated individuals will be discouraged from running onto the pitch.

I would have to find cause for disagreement in your missive provided above after rigourous examination led me to conclude that thine message is a load of pish.

"Thy message" would have been acceptable. I'm very fond of my message, and all its factually accurate (and ratified) content.

Because stewards are a massive deterrent already, right.

Do you mean "effecient"?

For arguments sake, how would you improve such standards?

If we have stewards then they should be there to help in some way other than just be guys in fluorescent jaikets looking at each other wondering what to do should something actually happen.

I'm told this slow moving drug addled moron could have been stopped if the "stewards" had acted when shouted to by the crowd after this guys laborious climb over the fence and then the advertising hoarding...wonder how much a well paid, motivated and trained Steward cost?

But then that'd cost money

"The lout chanted Celtic songs as he was served with legal papers in a cell."

Classy

I'd imagine it's dependent upon how they are utilised. Hence why I believe Celtic should look at how they utilise their stewards.

In answer to Banterman86, no I was writing about the number of stewards available at that point - hence the term sufficient. I'm not sure how it could be improved but I think it's an area that should be looked at.

It could happen at any ground...But it doesn't. Officials and Players being struck by missiles thrown from the crowd could happen at any ground ...but it doesn't.

It is a Celtic problem alone. They have been slapped over the wrist for too long. It is time this stops!! Every time Rangers play there the Rangers players are literally taking their life in their own hands. Will it take a serious injury before action is taken?

As No8 intimates it could be improved by actually punishing the clubs who allow it to happen.

I believe it could be alleviated by improving the stewarding system.

You're a moron, though.

Not true, I'm remarkably intelligent.

Evidence?

Please be Mensa, please be Mensa, please be Mensa

Well the threat of sanctions against Rangers worked. Even in the pubs around Ibrox you get thrown out and slapped for singing certain songs

Exactly. When you're dealing with idiots - and I think it's safe to say that many Old Firm fans fit the bracket, particularly those who are wont to invade pitches during games - reasoned explanation doesn't always work as well as a simple "hoaw - do that and you're barred for life."

I am in Mensa ya cheeky bassa!!!!!

My charm and wit are evidence enough. I am a bastion of light and knowledge.
I was going to make a joke about Mensa (while slipping in references to a degree and a successful career) but I'll leave it.

Someone made a good point earlier about being admitted to the ground clearly oot yer tree.

I've seen people knocked back from gigs before because they are too pished - don't see any reason this shouldn't be enforced at football too.

Disappointing.

I've only ever seen about twenty of your posts, but I'm sure around half of them have been you telling other people how intelligent you are. The other half are a load of pish.
