I like this

Nah, you think it's bollocks of the highest order, i'm telling you how I see it. If someone calling himself a "Fan" of Celtic is willing (or wilful) enough to let his own politics harm Celtic then he is not a fan.

 

If the gb are getting the blame but are not responsible then say so. If the gb are attracting neds who cause trouble then say so.

Mts above has said the gb chose not to sit where they were allocated tickets for. They knew others would follow them.

Ive never ever needed a steward to tell me where to sit. Its not rocket science. When you are stood on the steps ite pretty evident its not your seat.

Also yes I do expect gb members or any celtic fan to tell a ned acting the **** to stop. Especially when they are allegedly getting the blame for said ned acting the ****. I refer you to above self policing has ensured celtic have had a good reputation world wide. The gb have to play their part too. They dont though do they? No instead they csmpaign for their non member who has been arrested saying it wasnt deserved and thus encouraging another ned to try it the next week

 

It's not an argument, it's my opinion and going by the vast majority of comments on here it's an opinion which is shared, sometimes even more forcefully than my own.

I don't behave in a manner which brings shame on my club, i'm not a bigot, I like to think of myself as a fairly tolerant person but I am also cynical and analytical, I can read and I can hear and what I hear in Glasgow is that Celtic's name is once again dragged through the mud by this latest campaign which is nothing but a sham. It's a confrontation, one of which we have become all too used to where the GB and their ilk are concerned.

If they are not part of the solution they are part of the problem, and the only thing the GB/FAC are part of is the problem. The song, whether you will admit or not is incendiary to a hell of a lot of people in Scotland. That is a simple fact. What kind of "Fan" will risk getting the Club into bother by singing it at the match whilst supporting their football team? The Law may indeed be a stupid illogical one, but changing the law will not make it acceptable to sing this at Celtic Park or any other ground. They have 6 days between matches to sing it almost anywhere they choose or download it as often as they like, no one will bother, it's a free world, but it has been established beyond doubt that it is not only unwelcome at Football, it is Kryptonite to Celtic.

I've supported Celtic all my fairly long life and I have dreamt of the day when songs like these are no longer sung at CP,the days of making ME feel like an outsider in my own Club's stadium are almost over, if it takes an unjust law to root it out once and for all then the end justifies the means as far as i'm concerned. Selfish? Certainly, but nowhere near as selfish as the people who will just not accept reason and are willing to see Celtic tarnished for the sake of their politics.

 

Is it BBCs 5Live that has the sports quiz which has the " defend the indefensible " round, whats it called again ?

you don't know this breaks the dial on the beel meter in large parts of scotland...c'mon Rebel.

 

I never said you are not a Celtic fan, I said anyone who sings it at Celtic Park is not a Celtic fan. The song is banned end of and I don't care if they've been singing it since Moses was a boy because it makes me feel like an outsider, do you not get that? Do you not get that some people don't like it, loathe it even, because it creates an Us and Them mindset? You do not think this song and others are highly offensive to even to a small selection of Celtic fans?

This was a club built for all, not for some gang of delinquent malcontents who wear their personal rebellion like a medal, acts of sheer stupidity and wilfullness are their stock in trade, and if you or anyone thinks the wind is shifting in their favour then you are dreaming. Even lads on here like Anp who have experienced the troubles first hand think they should stop.

It's time to move on and leave the baggage behind and drag some people into the 21st century, most people want nothing to do with them.

 

I know.

 

What? What has celtic possibly got to do with the liberation of ireland?

The billy boys was sung by rangers fans fir a long time. Whats yer thoughts on it?

Its time to move on for **** sake

 

No its no.

Past be where its at yo.
