I’ve seen that before but I still expect to see someone’s leg come off  

[Alex 31117]

The Intercontinental Cup matches Celtic played against Racing Club were supposed to be mental. The second leg was played over there was brutal. Ronnie Simpson (who won two FA Cups with us in the 50s) was injured before the game from a missile. And then there was a playoff third match played in ‘neutral’ Uruguay where six or seven players were sent off.

No doubt @Gemmill will somehow fuck this up but anyway.

 

 

If the get the maximum punishment (they won't), would it definitely be applied this season?

[Gemmill 36187]

If not, I'd like to formally announce that, if Everton aren't relegated this season, that they WILL be relegated next season.

The coach of that Atleti (and 2 players, including the full-back who defended Jimmy Johnstone) was the same coach who had coached Racing Club in those Intercontinental Cups against Celtic.

 

The Scottish press tried to heat up the atmosphere as revenge. That's why it was known that the match between Atletico and Celtic was going to be a massacre.

In Glasgow, the Atleti players were very tough. Too much perhaps even for the time. Three of them were sent off and another 7 received yellow. From Celtic, only one player saw the yellow card.

 

But the police had to enter the grass in the first half because several fans went down to the stands to try to attack an Atleti defender and at the end of the game, a fight between players ended with the police attacking the Atleti players in the dressing room.

 

When they arrived at the airport to return to Madrid, even the passport control staff attacked the Atleti players (and some fans).

On the return trip, some red and white fans threatened to shoot Johnstone and Celtic were escorted by police throughout the trip.

 

PS The Atleti players were sanctioned with 3 games (even though they were sent off for a double yellow card) and could not play in the second leg of those European Cup semi-finals, nor the final, nor the replay of the final (in In the final we tied against Bayern and since there was no extra time, another game was played 2 days later).

Cheers. I never knew that about it being the same manager of both clubs. 
Edit: also thinking about it, Jock Stein would have still been the Celtic manager all those years later too

I was asking because going off their performance metrics, they're actually creating a good number of chances and not allowing many either.

 

If they don't go down this season, it's possible they could get 50-52pts next season and stay up on 38-40pts.

If you keep saying it might come true one day. 

[aimaad22 3674]

Lots of fewm from Everton fans on the potential sanction whilst the City case drags on. Not exactly the same type of breaches the two though?

Man City's are worse and over a much longer period, so if Everton got 12 points then Man City should get a lot more. To me it's a load of bollocks. They'll get a fine and a slap on the wrist - The PL is bent sideways.

[wykikitoon 17344]

The City case is more complex.  Evertons should be finalised before Christmas apparently 

[Gemmill 36187]

12 point deduction under the tree. That'll be my best present since I got a BMX as a kid.

[PaddockLad 15021]

Why are Man City being given months to prepare a no doubt stout (and ludicrously expensive ) defence but Everton are apparently about to get a 12 point deduction dry no lube? 🤔

 

 

[ewerk 27127]

The Everton case has been going on for a couple of years now.

[NJS 4036]

Is this the shit they pulled over covid losses?

On the 12th point of Christmas my true love gave to me......an Everton relegation, 11......

Theyve got 250+ offences against them. Everton have 1 I think.

And that one offence should see them get a 50 point deduction for the next five seasons, fuck them. I am more benevolent towards Man City as they always vote in our favour with the PL (or at worst abstain) as fellow gulf state owned beheading enthusiasts trying to ensure they can bring in dodgy gulf state owned commercial deals to buy £100m world beaters.

Yes, hearing/tribunal is happening because all evidence is available.

 

If they're found guilty they're gonna get sued for lost revenue by the clubs relegated when they cheated as well.
