Celtic Supporters Thread (contains GB chat)

Where were you sitting? I think nobody really joins in when the GB are at matches and it's just them singing most of the time. But today and the first half of the Inverness match I felt the atmosphere was better because you had large parts of the stadium singing and joining in with eachother. Rather than just one small part singing.

 

Well u must have enjoyed the passion and atmosphere today then.

 

I remember a game in about 2007, might have been against Gretna and their was absolutely no atmosphere inside the ground. Stadium was a near sell out, around 57000 and there was no singing at all except the small exert of chelsea dagger played when we scored. The atmosphere now with around 13000 less people is much better thanks to the GB.

 

I hope they don't do anything stupid like disband. Without them the Celtic support as a whole will lose much of its recognition and respect from other clubs and general football fans. They're a credit to the club and I hope the board come out in support of them.

 

It was gretna because I remember it was the day Phil O'Donnell sadly died.

 

thats 1 game mate i've been going week in week out since about 2000ish used to go with my Dad and there was a decent atmosphere at league games

 

I disagree with that tbh mate what about pre GB when we won awards from Uefa for our support and were recognised the world over through Seville and our other trips abroad.

 

I'm sick of all this fuss with the Green Brigade. Yes it looks like they have been treated unfairly based on what is being said on here but there's got to be a Police/Club Statement to "clarify" what went on before the game.

When they did the "Stand up for the GB" I didn't stand up because I'm sick of them being an issue. When they do "smile for the camera" it is totally unnecessary. The law is the law whether we like it or not, and we can vote against the Political Parties who put forward "the Bill" at the next election.

The GB are on a crusade against that Bill which is fine, but the rest of the support are not so my sympathies are minimal for them.

Celtic first, Celtic last and Celtic overall.

 

:smiley-laughing002:

 

That was for good behaviour and being, as a whole, very friendly people. I'm talking about the electric atmosphere. Normal home league games would be dead without the GB.

 

Do you have a point? I like the GB but there's only 500 of them. They do sing for the whole 90 mins but other parts of the stadium very rarely join in. Today you had large parts of the stadium singing and I think it was a better atmosphere than an average league match with the Green Brigade.

 

It's all part of supporting a club. I think normal league games would pick up in atmosphere after a few weeks of the GB not being their. What did we used to do without the GB at parkhead?

 

You must be a * riot to sit beside at the match.

Football is * diluted enough compared to even the 90s without criminalising folk for singing political songs and displaying a few banners.

The law... the law is a * * in this instance.

 

One thing i'd be gutted about is the lack of original songs and new material. The banners and songs the gb create is fantastic, Celtic Park imo would be a worse place without them.

 

Disgusted. The club seem to be just has much to blame.

 

The club really are doing their best to drive them out of Celtic Park for good, they must want everyone to sit quietly and politely applaud the team when we score, * all this singing/creating an atmosphere stuff, who would possibly want that

 

I never heard "large parts" of the stadium singing today.

Infact first half all I could here was DU fans singing their version of the billy boys.

Second half it picked up a little but you can bet if the GB were leading the charge in a 6-2 win we would have had a full stadium COYBIG and Huddle as well as Willie Maley and the rest.

 

Whilst I agree that the GB do a brilliant job of creating an atmosphere in CP , I feel when the focus of attention is not on them like the Juve game they go quiet.

I have noticed a few times the GB's lack of input noise wise ...cup semi v St mirren , Juve game , today , half a match last season ..what affect do you think this might have on the team ...positive today but one guy in the JS123 got the place doing the huddle today & we had some good singing today too, I think it's about time the rest of CP did a bit to create a bit of atmosphere on matchday
