Of course there is a difference. You can't compartmentalise this into "us and them". You have to deal with the facts of the matter and deal with that accordingly. Out of interest, which of these songs do you think can be construed as offensive? I may have to accept that the songs may fall foul of UEFA regulations(as shown below) but whilst not looking to indulge in whataboutery, it will be interesting to see UEFA close every single ground under their jurisdiction. 2 The same disciplinary measures may be taken against member associations or clubs in case of inappropriate behaviour on the part of their supporters, including: a) the invasion or attempted invasion of the field of play; b) the throwing of objects; c) the lighting of fireworks or any other objects; d) the use of laser pointers or similar electronic devices; e) the use of gestures, words, objects or any other means to transmit any message that is not fit for a sports event, in particular if it is of a political, offensive or provocative nature; f) acts of damage; g) any other lack of order or discipline observed inside or around the stadium. http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/...7_DOWNLOAD.pdf
The majority of Celtic fans may be Scottish The links with Ireland are, in your opinion tenuous, however you have to accept that a huge part of the draw to our club to many of our support stems from placing a great deal of stock in those links. There is no connection between Celtic and the IRA, but there is a long standing relationship between the support and Irish Republicanism, leading back to the formation of the club where these ideals were held by the board of the club. Celtic have note been punished. However, I welcome clarification on this from UEFA. Should we get punished, then of course, I will have to consider revising my position. There is nothing at all bloody minded about it.
Blablabla more excusesxwhy Celtic shoukd be exempt. Suck it up and deal with it. The fans complaining are the fans who stared it. No chickening out. Theres no going back now!
