Ah Scottish football, can't beat a statement!
Not a big fan of this statement (or statements in general), but I can see why we've done it. Would've preferred a bit more matter-of-factness about our requests of the SFA, sounds a bit whiny after repeatedly saying we weren't going to whine about it. Not sure what the bit about our attendance has to do with anything. And I'm pretty sure we'd already have received reports about the coin-throwing etc., so would've preferred us just to acknowledge that too, rather than saying we'd look into it if anyone reported anything.
Fair play to the club for releasing that statement and highlighting that Victim FC's support have yet again caused significant damage to the south stand. Celtic have and still do get away with murder in this country because no one wants to stand up to them so well done to the club for speaking out. That statement alone won't make much difference in the grand scheme of things but it might just encourage other clubs do start speaking up about Celtic, their manipulation and their supporters inability to behave like civilised human beings. I fully expect Celtic's cheerleaders to be all over this tomorrow and no doubt St.Brendan will be giving a head shaking, hand wringing sermon about how he doesn't understand our anger which they will all lap up, but if this upsets the applecart even just slightly then that is a good thing.
Scott Brown made general unsubstantiated statements in the Daily Record about coin and missile throwing in pretty well every game because Celtic are doing so well. So it appears that in my opinion he does not say coins or missiles were thrown at the Motherwell game it's a blatantly attempt to tarnish everyone outside of Celtic and come across as the victim.
We stand our ground, and protect our clubs history and integrity ... twice in the space of 4 days.
They fall about looking for penalties, and utter total 5hite about their 'ethics' ... twice in the space of 4 days !!
Nuff said IMO.
