Don’t say I didn’t warn you! No one can say they are surprised by the SFA finding Celtic not guilty of the bigoted shooting banner. The charges brought by the SFA three months after the incident were nothing more than a PR stunt and an insult to intelligence.
These are dark days in Scottish football. The current authorities seem to be re-writing the rule book on a daily basis. This whole episode is total and utter humiliation for the SFA, it is clear Celtic works them from the back like a puppet.
Sadly it appears that a cabal with sinister intent now runs Scottish football, a cabal with cult-like practices in recruitment which has gained far too much influence. It is clear from those that are now in power that friendship is one of the recruiting tools used by the SFA, with job interviews that look more like social get-togethers. The old pals act is alive and well in the corridors of power in Scotland, with one club in particular exerting undue control over the others.
If a banner showing certain sections of society being singled out and shot is not deemed offensive then what use is the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threating Communications (Scotland) Act 2012. Again it is proven by the lack of police action on this show of open criminality that the Act introduced by the Scottish Government is to be used in a one-sided way.
This banner is part of the demonization of the Rangers support in Scotland and the police who are supposed to be on the frontline of fighting sectarianism stand back, afraid to tackle the sectarian bigots which Celtic Football Club have yet to condemn.
It is hard to believe that in a modern football stadium with CCTV and stewarding, this type of bigotry can go unpunished; but this is Scotland under the SNP where the police visit the home of an anti-Protestant bigot to give him advice on his social media behaviour, rather than charge him after he was caught making hateful sectarian comments. It appears it is now too much to expect fairness or impartiality from Strathclyde Police when they carry out their job.
It is sad for Scottish football that the game has lost its independence and the game will suffer because those who have too much influence promote their own agenda while the rest of Scottish football withers.

when did rangers fans never mind zombies become a section of society ?
Pmsl
remeber the 3 rangers players who walked out the sfa with great big grinns on there faces after being red carded and almost causing a riot el hadj :oof and fat sally and some other diddy i cant remember, lol
How do you come to the conclusion that this banner was bigotted? Singing “The famine’s over now, why don’t you go home…?” Now that’s bigotted. Have a non-signing of Catholics, that is bigotted. “Being up to knees” in a particular kind of blood, is bigotted.
Your bubble has burst, your old team was found out and those who would have saved you within the SFA were powerless to do so because FIFA and UEFA were watching. It was too public to sweep it under the carpet so your club faced the consequences that it signed up for.
The banner depicts the fact that those knuckledragging neanderthols who think like you are living in the dark ages and are nothing better than zombies… a dead, empty entity bearing no life whatsoever. The remnants of which are embittered bigots like yourself that feel they have to reach out to other zombies and console yourselves in your own ignomy.
Good luck with that… Meanwhile we’ll all laugh at the fact that someone was sad enough to try and twist the humour of the Celtic support and call it hatred. How can we be hating you when we haven’t stopped laughing? You Teddyboy are comedy gold!!
Cyberted72, what was bigotted and therefore illegal about the banner in question?
By saying “certain sections of society being singled out and shot” are you saying that Rangers fans are actual Zombies? The Zombies are a metaphor for the debate on “is Rangers FC dead or is it alive? If they’re alive, then so are their debts and sanctions. If they’re dead, then so is their history and The Rangers is a completely new club.” Some folk in the West of Glasgow have seriously lost their sense of humour and are “deeply offended” by the slightest teasing. I remember when some Rangers fans used to be able to give out good banter (as opposed to just bigotted bile) The problem you guys have just now is that three of your consecutive Chairmen and current manager have screwed up and screwed over your club at every turn and dug you into a deeper crater of heartache and a sea of debt which will last for years and years. You’ve nothing to be positive about, have developed a persecution complex and lash out blaming everyone except those who are so obviously to blame that a blind man could see what you cannot. It’s the SFA’s fault, it’s the SPL’s fault, it’s Celtic’s fault, it’s HMRC’s fault, it’s the BBC’s fault, it’s Craig Whyte’s fault but not Ogilvie or David Murray, Charles Green or Ally McCoist’s fault. Sure that would mean that they weren’t as wonderful as we always thought and by association, neither are we.. That’s unthinkable to many Rangers supporters as they bought into the whole Rangers pyramid scheme hook, line and sinker and it’s cost them their world. Now you’ll have to buy into it again with Pinnochio’s share issue knowing full well that it’ll all happen over again and Green (who continually makes a clown of you and of the rest of Scottish Football) will walk away with millions in his pocket while the fans get screwed over yet again. Drop the “How Very Dare You’s” and turn your passions towards those responsible and tell your SPL-salary players to do the same as they don’t seem to be hurting anywhere near as much as the Rangers fans and if they don’t soon, there won’t be any 3rd Division League Title to be positive about anytime soon either.
Silent hill followed by the hills have eyes..that’s my night sorted. Ice cream and fkn jelly
Too good. Sad castle greyskull dweller getting upset at a funny wee banner depicting the rotten mob the way the majority of Scotland seems them. No one cares about you or your morally bankrupt legion of rats. Have fun in the basement of Scottish football for years to come, is it cold in our shadow?
Even my sevco supporting pals think ur a fud. You are hilarious and obviously a bit delusional but keep up the good work ur always good to laugh at 🙂
Wow why don’t you take off your blue glasses for your club is dead and gone! What about a former director who helped in the ebts and duel contracts and tax evadIng at your dead club that runs the sfa? Or how about Lennon being the only one suspended in the game of shame, when ally started it and 2 of the dead clubs players got off with nothing after manhandling the ref a number of times? Or how about your clubs famous bigotry signing policy and the bigotry songs that everyone could hear on tv yet not punishment or police doing thier job in stoping this, as you say with the law.
Sad little man you are and such a bad article and bad writer of it!! you are one big joke just like your old dead and new soon to be dead club, think you maybe listening to green too much or maybe you have the old bad habbits and mentality of your dead club.
