No Idle Talk Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 They are a weird crowd. They truly believe that the whole of Scottish Football is structured to try and prevent them from winning things and that it is only their own footballing excellence and the GFITW that enable them to overcome this structural discrimination. I wouldn't disagree with any Celtic fan who opined that there has been inherent bias towards Rangers over the decades. It's the fact that they don't see how much goes their way against all the other teams that boils my piss and leaves them with little or no credibility. Schemey trash who see themselves as poet warriors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Mikey Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) There may be a more appropriate thread, and this particular incident has been highlighted previously, but a bus-load of Celtic fans turning up to a match at Tynecastle during Covid restrictions when they had no tickets (hence no right to be there) surely ranks as weird behaviour in the extreme. Anyhoo, two of the Celtic mob got sentenced and it struck me as odd that this report fails to mention the fact that they ought not to have been there in the first place. What's more, their lawyer tried to position them as innocent victims and that it wasn't an organised happening. Well, it was certainly not organised by Hearts fans but was undoubtedly organised by the Celtic numpties who made something of a special effort. Ps ... The now twice convicted fella Rhind is reported as being 26 years of age ... that must surely be his 46 years old da turning up in his stead. 😁 Declan McPhillips (left) and Jordan Rhind (right) plead guilty previously Link to the Soaraway plus a copy of the report:- https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/10967577/celtic-fan-attacked-hearts-fan-during-violent-clashes-banned/ A CELTIC supporter who launched an attack on a Hearts fan during a violent confrontation has been banned from attending matches in the UK. Jordan Rhind, 26, was part of a group of Hoops fans who were engaged in several “skirmishes” prior to a Scottish Premiership match with Jambos outside Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh in July 2021. Edinburgh Sheriff Court was told the two sets of supporters were involved in running battles which had ceased momentarily before Rhind stepped out from the crowd and punched a man to the face. Several fans were arrested following the disorder including Rhind, from Bathgate, West Lothian, and his co-accused 21-year-old Declan McPhillips, from Irvine, Ayrshire. The pair appeared at the capital court for sentencing today after they had previously admitted their guilt to the offence. Lawyer James McMackin, for Rhind, said his client had not been involved in “an organised event”, that the situation had “happened very quickly”. The solicitor added Rhind feels “shame and embarrassment” at appearing in court and that he currently works as a green keeper at a golf course and has a job offer in New Zealand which he hopes to take up later this year. The court was also told this is Rhind’s second conviction for a football related offence. McPhillips’ brief told the court his client had became involved in the confrontation with the Hearts supporters after he had been punched in the face. He added: “They are, to a relative extent, innocent victims in this.” In sentencing, Sheriff John Cook said: “I do not entirely agree with the characterisation of you being ‘innocent victims’. “There were skirmishes engaged in between opposite sets of supporters at that stage and you both had the opportunity to leave. “I do have to distinguish between both of you in that Mr Rhind, there was lull in the skirmishes for about five seconds or so, and you decided to throw a punch towards the other side. “It was an unpleasant football related incident.” Rhind was banned from attending football matches in the UK for six months and told he must carry out 100 hours of unpaid work in the community. McPhillips was dealt with more leniently and sentenced to pay a fine of £610 and no football banning order being imposed. Rhind and McPhillips pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by behaving aggressively, shouting at supporters of the opposing team, making challenging gestures and engaging in a fight at McLead [sic] Street, Edinburgh, on July 31, 2021. Celtic suffered an opening day defeat for the first time in 24 years when they went down 2-1 to Hearts in front of just 5272 supporters due to Covid restrictions. ☝️ a classic 'Up Ye's' 😉 Former Celt Gary Mackay-Steven opened the scoring in the first half before Hoops full back Anthony Ralston equalised in the second half. The Jambos won all three points when John Souttar, now of Rangers, headed in the winner in the last minute.
