Celtic Fines - Money Down The Drain

The Herald reports that idiotic fan behaviour at Parkhead has cost the club an astonishing £200,000 over the past two years.

What can you say about the adults who encouraged and helped a child run on to the field of play?

Celtic issued fresh UEFA fines for fan misconduct

By Robbie Hanratty - The Herald 

Celtic are facing a hefty fine of over £20,000 from UEFA following incidents during their recent Champions League victory over RB Leipzig.

The financial penalty from Europe's governing body stems from two specific charges: the blocking of public passageways and a pitch invasion by fans.

The total fine amounts to €27,000, which translates to approximately £22,500.

This includes a €12,000 fine for the obstruction of public pathways and an additional €15,000 for the pitch invasion of a young supporter.

This latest penalty brings Celtic's total fines over the past two seasons to a staggering £200,000.

In an official statement, UEFA outlined the reasons for the sanctions: "Celtic FC Incidents and sanction. Blocking of public passageways, Art. 38 UEFA Safety and Security Regulations. Fine: €12,000.

“Invasion of the field of play, Art. 16(2)(a) DR. Fine: €15,000."

This situation highlights ongoing concerns regarding fan behaviour and safety regulations within modern-day football stadiums.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...

Glasgow - Part of the Problem

Image
I'm sure Stefan Cross ruffled more than a few feathers with his comments in the Evening Times which accused senior officials in Glasgow City Council of blocking a settlement to the long-running equal pay dispute. But he's spot-on if you ask me, because the council's chief executive has been fighting 'tooth and nail' to defend Glasgow's WPBR pay arrangements for years. Even after the Council lost a unanimous decision at the Court of Session, Scotland's highest civil court, which condemned the WPBR as 'unfit for purpose' the council's senior officials tried to fight on by seeking leave to appeal this damning judgment to the UK Supreme Court in London.   Glasgow lost that argument as well in another unanimous decision from the Court of Session which concluded that the City Council had no reasonable grounds for appeal. Yet the architect of this disastrous strategy, Annemarie O'Donnell, remains in post to this day and is nominally in cha...
