Green Brigade at Rangers match

i sit on 445 section.1 week the boys up the back were having a bit of banter with the stewards and police when they took the huff and ordered them to take down all there banners. *

 

Calm down son.

I dont like we love you because its crap, I dont like it because its pish......at least quote me right

Why would I ban you? , were you trying to provoke me or something ?

 

Its one that the GB have been singing for nearly a couple of years, but no-one else sings.

 

Sorry man, but quite a few of us sing it where I sit, and its sung at every away game by the majority of supporters.

 

Rosario, out of intrest, what do you do when at CP to help create an atmosphere we are so badly needing?




Anyone who trys to help create any sort of atmosphere at parkhead, deserves nothing but praise and support. I couldn't care less what they sing as long as it's not secretarian. To many people are Celtic spectators, not celtic supporters.

 

Its not exactly getting the whole stadium going though is it? Thats why I say they should try something else, something that more people recognise as a Celtic song.

I cant see it ever catching on the way the GB expected it to, it would've caught on by now.

 

But there is no song that is getting the whole stadium going these days......and speaking from experience, it is one of the more rowdy songs that gets the support going away from home.

 

Outwith singing Celtic songs, clapping and cheering the team (never booed any Celtic team ever), and doing that for over 30 years, I dont do anything

Do you have to be a part of one of the many supporters factions these days?

 

the atmosphere at CP is completely rubbish.. dead. any time I come over I feel embarrassed.

 

Maybe all the supporters groups from around the stadium should bury the hatchet and start to work together to improve the atmosphere at CP.
The singing could be easily co-ordinated.

 

It is, but I don't think not having a banner would have that much of a detrimental affect on the atmosphere, surely they could still sing without having their banners?

I got involved in all the songs that were started as did a few of those around me even although we weren't near any of the groups, all that is needed is for more people to join in and not give two hoots about whether they can sing or not, I can't but doesn't stop me making a noise :icon_mrgreen:

 

over here you can find very good atmospheres everywhere you go. no matter if there are 3'000, 10'000 or 30'000 supporters. so called ultras organize everything: they stand together, start singing songs etc. it gives a great atmosphere and I would say only about 30% of home supporters actually sing. although there are always a few folks moaning about those "kids" (swiss people are notorious moaners), they get the respect they deserve sometimes.

I think the problem in Scotland is, the ultras culture seems very new and unknown and most people don't have a clue about it. for some reason a lot of people are hostile towards that new idea and new way of supporting. as far as I remember those threads most people either turned them down as "little kids" or started insulting them because "they are only interested in politics".

there will always be idiots on both sides. especially those guys that think they are better fans because they call themselves ultras. first rule: you don't have to be an ultra to sing or support your team.

on the other hand I can understand them a bit when there are about 40'000 (?) folks showing up for the game, sit on their mouths for whole time and go home 5 mins before the final whistle. especially if those spectators slag off peeps that try to improve the atmosphere. that's no fantasy ladies and gents, I have seen it over there in Scotland too. yes, there are a lot of moaners too.

it's a vicious circle: if both sides could tolerate each other a bit more (yes sometimes they do stupid or political things, but have you never done them yourself? - on the other hand some people will never sing because they just wanna enjoy and watch the game) I'm sure there would be a different atmosphere, well actually an atmosphere at all. sometimes showing a bit respect to the ultras wouldn't do any harm. not everything that is new is automatically bad.

the beef between both sides of supporters seems to be more important than creating a loud sound together. people need to work together! after all we are all celts.

 

just because there are younger people that sit in area 111 etc doesn't mean that the green brigade is just kids/neds, i dont know how any one can say they are kids after the displays they have pulled off, completly alone as well and by that i mean unlike the jungle bhoys who are funded by celtic, not having a go at them btw
and they could be the only ones who sing it because theres not much other people who sing and if your talking about the song that goes "we love you.. we love you" then it must have caught on to some people as celtics have gone and got a awful recording of it

 

I use to sit down with them last year, moved this year, its now full of stupid wee boys who dont have a clue. One thing that stood out to me was a young boy chanting the rebels etc and then shouting C.I.R.A at the top of his voice over and over, boy I was with said to him, here wee man do you even know what it means, he replied with Aye, Its the catholic IRA .

As I said there are good guys in the group, who are only interested in good banners and an atmosphere, but I think far to many wee arseholes who dont no nothing have more or less ruined there group, There forum especially the politics section is a joke.

 

Well i disagree.

I sit and have never sat near the GB unless its been an away game and i can assure there are some people who like singing that song even though they have no association with the GB whatsoever.

Anything beats that * cheesy version of LTPS they play at parkhead

 

Someone please answer me this question ,its an easy question ,Why is there different factions of supporters around the stadium ,do the green brigade dislike the jungle bhoys and likewise and any other factions of support groups set up ,why the need for all this ?
thats the question ,my opinion is if you all sang together and stood as one it would amount to a good few thousand fans singing and generating an atmosphere ,does that not make sense and parkhead would come alive again ,but someone put me out my misery and answer the question please.

 

If I'm right I'm sure the Original GB were a split from the Jungle Bhoys after some sort of internal dispute, now we have the Rude Bhoys who are also a split from Jungle Bhoys. * Stupidity if you ask me

 

I think there are different factions of support because people just want to get noticed. Who created all the noise, while everyone else sat silent - 'The Green Brigade' did or the 'Rude Bhoys' or whatever. Other than that I can't think why they are split into factions mate.

Not sure if they dislike each other, I dont think so though. I think they often do try and out-sing each other at times, your right though if they sat together they'd make one * of an atmosphere.

I dont agree with different groups, all singing different songs at once, how is this going to catch on to the rest of the stadium?

 

im not 100% sure but i just get the feeling that each groups wants to be doing there own thing. although the Shamrock Bhoys (just a smaller group but) have frequently moved around to sit along side the green brigade and it really has added to the atmosphere. i agree with you and i think that through time other groups should consider moving round to where the green brigade are and turn it into the unofficial singing section

 

If all these groups formed as one they could take over a full end of the stadium ,if im right i think the stands behind the goals hold roughly 15,000 people thats a lot of noise and it does rub off and others will join in ,personally i think this is what should happen ,parkhead was known as fortress parkhead up until as recently as 2 years ago and a major factor in that was the fans generated a volume of noise it was deemed intimidating ,time to get it back lads.
