Celtic Supporters Thread (contains GB chat)

i get your point but while other fans watch fellow fans being treated like * by the club then that's poor in my book.

 

fair enough its time all celtic fans done something about other fans being treated like * by the club do you agree or disgrace.

 

Last game I went to was Dec 2001, is it really so much the norm to have your bag searched at CP these days that you guys don't consider it harassment? I work and have worked at a couple of football grounds in England and I have to tell you that the police down here don't routinely search fans who would certainly consider it harassment. I actually would consider it harassment. I'm quite genuinely worried about Scotland if that is what we've become while I've been living down here.

 

so its just shut up and do nothing is that it then.

 

I thought the police had to have reasonable grounds for suspicion in order to be able to search you.

 

Supporting Celtic is grounds enough

 

i never said you did

 

I suppose they must consider it a public safety issue, like at airports.

 

Is that something imposed on Celtic by the council or is it an SPL thing?

 

Deodorant and perfume? You don't know how disturbing I find it that you guys think this is normal. This isn't an aeroplane: what on earth did they think you were going you were going to do with them?

 

This is Scotland mate, best wee country in the world.

Telling you, it's a bawhair away from being fascist.

 

Probably a good few with accounts but I doubt any of them post regularly at all. With 80 members they are barely a drop in the ocean of Celtic fans. You wouldn't think it though looking at this thread.

 

Do you have to be in the Green Brigade to support them or something? To be honest the fact they're in the Green Brigade is irrelevant to me. They're are fellow fans who are being harassed and bullied by the police and it has to stop.

 

I always used to take my rucksack to games and never got searched once. Things have changed.

Edit: OK, always is an exaggeration, but I think at least 3 times and I was never once searched. Since I didn't plan to do anything suspicious, it never even occurred to me that it would be. I once even brought some cheeky sandwiches in to eat on the (correct) assumption that once the game started, nobody would notice.
