    This.

    Fantastic team performance, hindered by some very questionable officiating. If Deila is given serious backing in the summer I can only see a rosy, non-flare future ahead for us.

    Right, so you're argument is that they're against the rules so they should be against the rules?
    Any actual reasons why they should be against the rules?

    Fair enough if you don't appreciate the atmosphere that others think they generate (including me) but is the fact that you don't see the point in them reason enough to ban them?

    By this same reason sectarian songs add to the atmosphere but they are beyond the SFA to deal with,and as much as I disagree with Uefa atleast they follow through with such actions,and this includes our fans and flares I only wonder when our governing bodies will follow suit

    Most important game of the season * and people talking about flares.

    Wonders never cease.

    Don't really care about flares, the dirty media will make hay, but couldn't give a * about those corrupt *; they're itching to get anything on Celtic; the phrase impartial and objective is completely alien to them. What's worse, in my opinion,is these Celtic fans that come on the * phone-in and start brown nosing the journos "Yes, Hugh, I'm with you there is no place for this in modern football" Get a grip, man, it's a * flair.

    As little as I care about flares, we've been fined so many times now that I feel like the people using them are wanting to cost us money. They have no excuses anymore, just don't take them.

    The people who are trying to make an issue out of this seem to be doing so for all the wrong reasons. Only be happy when we get into trouble. It's pathetic.

    Crowd violence in Roma game, as well as the Dynamo Kiev game, and these guys are talking about a glorified candle.

    A glorified candle eh?

    If you had asthma and you were standing next to the bawbags letting these flares off I wonder if you'd be so blasé about it.

    It's * stupidity letting off flares in a football stadium and it shouldn't happen. I don't care if it's our fans doing it, it's still * stupid.

    No pyro no party? * off.

    Lots of deflecting on here. Let's deal with our own issues.

    If the club is punished for this they should find the guy and ban him from our matches and make it public that we have done so.

    Flares are nice looking but they are still a fire and a health risk.

    Time to cut it out. Looks good but just gonna land us in bother time and time again with UEFA. Eventually will be punished with a game behind closed doors.
