    Wouldnt boycott as i pay so much money to see Celtic and get behind the bhoys. Its not the players fault after all and they shouldnt have to suffer having less backing because of it.

    I would however show anger in other ways by letters/petitions/fan protests etc.

    It's still not a case of blackmailing other fans. All the rest of us are big enough to make up our own minds about going to watch Celtic. Just because soem of us support the GB in regards to this doesn't mean to say they are blackmailing fans, that's just utter nonsense. The GB are just a bunch of lads that go and support Celtic everywhere they play, and have given us some memorable moments (in regards to displays), which Celtic have profited from having contributed £0.00 towards. Celtic are quick enough to pick up on the negatives the GB bring, but you hear very little in regards to how much money they have made from the group. Fancy packing in the "your group" patter as well, it's getting * boring. How many times have you been at Parkhead, or any Celtic game with the GB at it?

    mate "your group" :56:is great for atmosphere but I don't understand how someone could generate profits off of atmosphere?

    I'm not doubting their atmosphere, its when they throw it in everyones face as if we owe them something (bit like your comment right there) and btw, I think the uafa fines would out weigh these alleged atmosphere profits you speak of.

    I don't hate the GB but I think the way they have handled things in the last couple of weeks is shocking. I for one wouldn't mind PL looking into the possibility of a standing section. Would just relocate the GB there and have an agreement with them that they will cut out all the nonsense that's been putting the club under a microscope in the media.

    again, nothing against them apart from the last couple of statements they've released attacking the club. I really hope they sort this all out diplomatically and maybe hire GB a PR consultant to help them out with their statements.

    Or to renew a season card for last season when the huge banners "just cant get enough" were plastered on the front of the main stand last season.

    The club has made a pretty penny off the back of these guys.

    You are completely making an * of yourself here. The profits gained from Celtic were not through atmosphere. Fancy taking a look at some of the merchandise we have available for people to buy. You will see that some of the stuff available was made possible by the GB.

    Of course you dislike the group. You were pretty much laughing yesterday at the fact they had been turfed out section 111. So you must obviously have something against them.

    Ah, so the reason Celtic fans sing that is for our admiration of Depeche Mode instead of The Green Brigade changing the lyrics and singing it for Celtic?

    Was always confused about that :rolleyes:

    Alot of the hate I think comes from jealousy.

    Jealous that they were not in 111 and had to sit in silence and recieve looks of distain when they start to sing on their lonesome. Wept into their pillow at night, wishing for a better matchday experience. Batter one out furiously at the news of xboxes in the main stand. Shake their fist in the air angrily at the person standing in front, shrieking "I can't see". The type that go get food 3 times a game, but not at half time.

    The wrong kind of Celtic fan.

    They get nothing - hence why they dropped the I from "Just Can't Get Enough"

    Its annoying that people think the GB have some sort of extra entitlement than the rest of the fans that turn up on matchdays.

    Why does that annoy you?

    Nobody has said extra entitlement, we're saying they have been treated shoddily.

    big wow they took a couple of trending gimics that the GB came up with. They would be idiots to not capitalize on the "just can't get enough" stuff and what's wrong with selling a picture of the crowd in their own stadium. I didn't see GB capitalizing on it. Not like they've been getting the GB out doing promo shoots all round the country.

    think what you want. Im right !

    No, you're not. You said they can't capitlise off the back of what the GB have done in the last couple of years and then contradicted yourself in the last post.

    The club would have to pay royalties for a public demonstration of part or all of their song over the PA system.
