I think that maybe says more about you. Leaving aside the rights and wrongs of the situation, it is Celtic and that would make it very funny. They’ll get a wee fine or something though, sadly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreedomFarter Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 UEFA have punished Celtic because the banner caught out a broadcast partner. Not upsetting their revenue providers is all that matters for UEFA with these situations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booker-T Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 On 15/09/2022 at 21:05, Archie McSquackle said: Rightly or wrongly (I'm not a monarchist but I'm not getting involved in the rights and wrongs), traditionally the monarch is the head of the Church of England so it sort of goes without saying they have to be C of E. It's a bit like saying the Pope has to be Catholic. The rules were no doubt written when they wouldn't have considered any other religion so I assume that's why only Roman Catholics are specifically excluded. This, but also why are people who clearly aren’t CoE acting like their God given Idol has just been taken away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boot them both out of the competition as an example would be a fitting punishment and emphasise that they are indeed not important to European football anywhere other than their own heads, but we all know it'll be a minor fine or warning - with the same behaviours continuing both overseas and domestically. The Celtic fans have done absolutely nothing wrong with their banners, and the only thing that UEFA might pick up on is the use of a swear word. For the last week and a bit we have been almost instructed to mourn for an unelected head of state, a billionaire with wealth unimaginable to you or I. She also passed laws to hide that wealth from public scrutiny, although the Crown estate is estimated to be worth £14 billion. With the state the UK is in these days, I won’t blame anyone who doesn’t want to stand at a football game and honour the Queens death. There is absolutely no need for a monarchy in 2022, and if football fans can’t show dissent towards a Royal family without being shut down or having people demand punishment then it’s a slippery slope we are going down. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
