That's not my call to make, but if we're to have a section called "the family section", it should be a safe area for families to sit and enjoy the game. If we, as a club, can't provide that, then we have no business selling tickets to families under that pretence.

Also, there seems to be no issue relocating people who have paid good money for their seats to accommodate the UEFA suits, does there? If we can accommodate those freeloading chancers, then surely we should be able to accommodate children and their parents who actually pay for their tickets?

The club don't have a choice about the UEFA seats! they need to give them a certain amount in a certain area of the stadium.

The parent and child tickets have been in that section for years, I used to sit there myself. Everyone is overreacting because of one boisterous away support in how many years?

I've not seen any pictures of any mayhem, just stories on the internet, so it likely didn't happen. There is always a bit of bother when a big European mob comes into town, for those who want it, but last night certainly wasn't anything to worry about for the normal fan, like myself, who just goes to the game and comes home.

What I'm saying is that if you are worried about the proximity to the away crowd, then don't buy a ticket there, if you do and there is a bit of atmosphere once every four or five years then deal with it. The club can put in xboxes and face painters all they want but at the end of the day football is a game with partisan fans who will occasionally not get along.

Just because you didn't see anything doesn't mean nothing happened.

There was at least 200 odd Ajax fans rampaging through the Trongate/Gallowgate, they smashed up chairs in a cafe that I saw, and there were broken windows in a few other places.

And I'm also a fan who just goes to a game and goes home, doesn't mean you can't get caught up in it.

Ok guys here is the idea to sort this * out.
Put the * from uefa beside away fans.....that will change the * out of the way uefa deals with this *.
You have to be a super brave or stupid * to chuck a seat at some bigwig from uefa.

In the good old days away fans stood next to the vocal home support, thats what made for real atmo at games. family section next to the away end is stupid, but that shows how modern boards and modern clubs think. Idiotic decisions.

Not Celtic's fault, you can't account for away fans behaving like animals when making this decision

Anyone worth their salt would come to the conclussion that you do not put a family section next to what could be the most at risk area of a stadium...

I don't think there's a big issue.

I don't think they'll be jumping over the stewards to attack us or lobbing things at us. Other than a few nasty songs (in Dutch), I think you'l be alright.

We didn't know we'd be playing Ajax when this decision was made, so it wasn't a factor

But we could have and did.

We played them before, we have played other teams with supporters that like to have a go as well.

Ridiculous! Behave yourself! I am in the family section in the Main Stand and I watched the mayhem that went on during half time! Horrible, I saw a seat flying and hitting a steward. I have not seen this type of behaviour for ages, potential for a lot of Celtic fans to get seriously hurt last night! Ajax fans were like caged animals! Disgusted with your comments! pathetic! Were you event there? I hope that you weren't!

The answer is simple,

Safe standing for home fans and away fans and put up cages
