Match day thread Celtic Vs Brentford.

They've got a player called Savile

 

1-2 McGregor

Mon the Hoops!!!

 

McGregor????

 

Aye, Allan McGregor.

 

Turncoat

 

they boys were good at the commentary.

Well done, Celtic.

 

WATP!

 

I hear the Huns have fallen for Hun lies on the Internet on certain songs sung yesterday , even idiot Bill Mcmurdo has had his say . A ff member signs on a Brentford forum for the day , and it all starts from there .

 

Everyday's a shameful day to be a Tim. Fact.

 

Only for your wife, being married to you n'at.

 

Wouldn't this qualify as a tautology ?

I`ve never actually been to Brentford but have always imagine it as a bleak post industrial nylon-centric wasteland. Hull with nylon if you will.

 

apparently 2 *****s on FF have said they're responsible for the drummer rumours

By the by, a Brentford fan is in Rangers' board asking their opinion, he reckons our fans behaviour was comparable to Manchester

Nasty rumour sees Celtic fans accused of more wrong-doing

2 Posted by Kieran Psyl - 20/07/2013 - The Journal



Another away day for Celtic, as their Islam-loving, child-abusing, terrorist-glorifying supporters traveled South to Brentford.

Just another day on Twitter, eh?

Celtic fans hadn’t even had the chance to digest the news that they were the number one suspects of the mysterious Rangers bus fire, before there were rumours of wrong-doings and despicable behaviour in London.

I’m not going to talk too much about the Rangers bus, which sees 140 miles of history gone; instead I’m going to focus on the rumours that were floating around Twitter today about our support.

Two months ago, a sickening attack in Woolwich saw the death of British Army soldier, Drummer, Lee Rigby. That same week, Celtic faced Hibernian in the 128[SUP]th[/SUP] Scottish Cup Final, (I will come back to this in more detail later.)

It seems whenever Celtic have an away tie, there are people hiding behind their keyboard who want to start abhorrent rumours and lies about our fan base. Today’s special that was cooked up by some obsessive low-life, was that the Celtic fans who had traveled to Brentford were singing songs mocking the death of Lee Rigby.

I searched frantically on Twitter to see if there was any truth to this. As I typed into the search bar, “Celtic fans Lee Rigby”, all I was met with was Union Jack display pictures branding Celtic fans a disgrace and that we were all scum. I tweeted several of these morons back to see if they had any sufficient proof to these rather harsh accusations. Of course, all I got was vile abuse.

Another thing I noticed about these rumours, was that 90% of the tweets branding Celtic fans a disgrace, all started with a “If, I’ve heard, see if it’s true,” and so on. There was no weight to any of these comments.

Furthermore, Celtic fans who were actually at the game, updated all of us who couldn’t make the trip, confirming that it was indeed nonsense, and there were no such songs sung about Lee Rigby.

Some of the tweets posted about Celtic fans were as follows;

“Most Celtic fans never fail to amaze! You’ve now moved on from Sectarian & IRA songs to…. Here we go… Singing/Mocking Lee Rigby! #SCUM”
“If the rumours are true about #Celtic fans at brentford singing about Lee Rigby, then they have sunk to a disgusting new low. Scumbags.”
“Celtic fans singing about the death of Lee Rigby, they are an embarrassment to Scotland #SCUM”
“What’s worse about celtic fans singing about Lee Rigby is that their great grandparents where in the war protecting this country #uneducated”

That last one makes me laugh. The irony of this person claiming we are uneducated, when they are unable to use proper grammar.

Was this the case, though?

Brentford fan, James Glassup was at the game and said, “Celtic fans were class today I had my Brentford shirt on and walking through the crowds and they put arms around me great people.”

Fellow Brentford fan, George McCartney said, “By far the best friendly I’ve ever been to and will go to. Celtic fans were unbelievable.”

Brentford player, Jack Bonham said, “Craziest atmosphere against Celtic felt like an away game their fans were mad!!! Flares on the pitch and all sorts!”

And finally, the manager of Brentford, Uwe Rösler, had this to say, “Fantastic day and I thank Neil Lennon and the fans for making it a fantastic atmosphere.”

So people who were actually at the game clarified that this story was nonsense. But of course, as all rumours do, it escalated and soon fans from all over the United Kingdom were accusing Celtic fans of singing these mythical songs.

This isn’t a new thing for Celtic fans. I mentioned earlier the Scottish Cup Final that was contested between Celtic and Hibs. During the post-match celebrations, a photograph was taken of an Irish flag with ‘Islam CSC’ written on it. Of course, it turned out that the flag actually said, ‘Achill Island CSC’. This, similar to the rumours today, went all over Twitter with our fans, once again, being branded a disgrace and an embarrassment and our good name being dragged through the mud for no good reason.

The real embarrassment is that someone has used an innocent man’s death to point score against Celtic fans. That is truly disgusting.
My only advice to these dullards who actively seek a bandwagon to jump on when it comes to our support is, actually do some research before your knee-jerk reactions. I can’t see many apologies being handed out from people claimed we should be “hanged”, but there you go.

Celtic fans have a fantastic reputation all around the world, with some of the biggest names in football complementing our support. I doubt that these nasty rumours will see that come to an end anytime soon.
