\u201cOur plan is to add to it but if we can\u2019t then we\u2019ll continue to work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s very difficult for Celtic, unless you have the big finances to go and get the kind of players who are going to help us improve,\u201dhe said. \u201cThe market down south is really, really difficult, but you can\u2019t stop looking for the ones you can develop and improve or is ready made and can come in.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s ongoing. You can never please everyone.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIf there\u2019s any message, it\u2019s the club will do everything they can to get the right type of players who will help the squad.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIf we don\u2019t, we have a strong group of players going in to this part of the season.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe’ve done really good business in bringing in these young players and you can see the difference they have made.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s never easy. If we don\u2019t have another signing then I\u2019m happy with the players we have.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIf we can get the players in certain areas, then great, but it has to be the right quality, other<\/em>wise there\u2019s no point.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe have a really good squad and we\u2019ll get Kieran Tierney and Tom Rogic back\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Oddly enough, thats he two he said in the summer he had to persuade to stay.<\/p>\n The squad does have to be trimmed. The wage bill is too high, the recent contract extensions were costly, and that needs to be remembered when we start to think about where all the money is going.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Elsewhere, and the Celtic fans who found themselves involved with an enthusiastic police force in Amsterdam were finally exonerated yesterday.. this is from Het Parool, which is either a newspaper or an anagram…<\/p>\n In a devastating judgment, the Amsterdam Court of Appeal wipes out the prison sentences for supporters of the Scottish football club Celtic who had caused riots in the Dam in 2013.\u00a0Reason: According to the court, there is little about the official reports that the police made about the chaos.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Because of these ‘irreparable’ mistakes, the suspects are ‘seriously damaged’ in their defense.\u00a0These errors only appeared when, on appeal, new camera images of the riots had surfaced, made by a special video team from the police.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Incorrect reporting to the police<\/strong><\/em> In three cases the Public Prosecution Service is declared ‘inadmissible’, in five cases the court pronounces the suspects free and in one case, in which a suspect had announced that he had thrown a can of beer to the police, a modest punishment was imposed.<\/em><\/p>\n In 2013, the suspects had been sentenced to one-to-two months’ imprisonment at a courtroom hearing, including for open violence.\u00a0Prior to the match Ajax-Celtic came on November 6, 2013 riots between Ajaxhooligans, mostly drunken supporters of Celtic and the mobile unit and other agents.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Deteriorated atmosphere<\/strong><\/em> Members of ‘detention units’ of the police (ME members of the public) carry out arrests by force.\u00a0Eight agents simply touched by being hit or beaten by rubbish.\u00a0Some were punched in the face.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Celtic fans who were convicted of throwing a mess or hitting denied it.\u00a0During the appeal, camera images emerged that, according to the court of appeal, show that ‘what is included in the official report, on essential points and where it concerns the core of the accusations against the suspects, is not in keeping with the truth’.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Other evidence than the police’s allegations was missing in most cases.\u00a0The court ‘has an eye for the chaotic and dangerous working conditions’ of the police that day,<\/em><\/p>\n No longer prosecuting<\/strong><\/em> The court does not state that the police have ‘deliberately’ lied.\u00a0‘It is certain, however, that it was not initially attempted to trace the video images captured by video units (of the police) with the intensity and drive offered.’<\/em><\/p>\n Lawyer Christian Visser, who assisted the suspects with colleagues, is ‘very satisfied’ with the outcome of the long-running process.\u00a0“It is very special that the court expresses itself in such fierce terms about the police’s defective official reports.” Other Celtic supporters have paid fines before because of their roles in the riots.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n This tweet from Jeanete Findlay sums it all up…<\/p>\nCeltic hooligans freely by court ruling on police<\/h1>\n
\nThe Court of Appeal, in the Friday judgment: “The criminal judge must be able to rely on the report (by the police). If that is no longer possible, criminal justice will collapse like a house of cards.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThe initially good atmosphere had changed after Ajax fans had taken a flag from Celticsupporters.\u00a0A group of Ajax fans got stuck in the Damstraat, a large group of Celtic supporters attacked the police and threw (full) beer cans, bottles and mess.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nsuspects Because ‘the consequences for the suspects, including the conviction by the police judge, have been considerable’, the court finds that justice has lost the right to sue the main suspects.\u00a0That was also the opinion of the Advocate General (the public prosecutor on appeal) who had also asked for inadmissibility in the requisition.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
