Celtic Supporters Thread (contains GB chat)

Fighting up in the Bhoys section today apparently..

 

Your right mate some of celtic best players were Protestant s mcgrain, Dalglish Scott brown Callum mcgregor to name but a few, a don’t mind as the son of a Catholic Irish woman hearing pro Ira songs but got mates who are Protestant s thet support celtic and singing “ soon they’ll be no Protestant s at all is disrespectful to our Protestant fans and players who love celtic as much as us and is hun like behaviour

 

That's like saying Palestine has nothing to do with Celtic.

Anti-colonial politics has always been expressed on the terraces of Parkhead.

In any case, it has no realtion to the ethnic chauvinism, right-wing extremism and general racism/sectarianism at Ibrox.

Putting anti-colonial or anti-impieralist political sentiment on the same level as racism is a major red flag for me.[/QUOTE]

Well no, it's like saying hamas has nothing to do with celtic, which it has not.

Your right though, anti-colonial sentiment is not racist.

 

Everything I've heard about them has been negative. There's far too many good Tims relaying this stuff for it to be untrue.

I'd happily see them kicked out.

Instead it's the GB who are the targets for over zealous policing. Ridiculous what they have to put up with.

 

There was aye

 

The GB are great for the atmosphere and also do a lot of good for the club like foodbank stuf and all that, but there’s an Arrogant element who want to run the club with their rules, they’re just ordinary fans like the next guy, a loved the singing in the jungle as a young bhoy but there was no silent protest s which again is fair enough and as people say other fans could still make a noise, you get an element of people who if you dare to say a wrong word about them they’re on your back thinking they can do no wrong

a fkin despise the Tories but who am I or anyone else to tell someone they’re not welcome at celtic pk for their poilitics, a delivered letters to big Sutton s house in THORTONHALL early 2000s he had vote Tory on his window, was * off with his political view but he was doin the business on the pitch pumping Huns winning treble s I wasn’t for chasing him out the club or hating him

 

Honestly knew nothing of this lot, I’m not a regular tbf. Here’s a bit of info/background I found.

I wonder why they disagreed with the GB

 

Think it was put on here, it was over the political angle of the gb.

 

Are any of them members of this site that would like to help us out ?

 

Exceptional tifo from the GB today


Glory o’ glory o’ to the bold * men

 

Which political angles?

 

Naw.

 

The problem is is that they're too darn catchy

 

There’s a previous post on here mention it.

 

I know, but it seems a little vague. What aspect of their politics do they take issue with?

Irish republicanism, socialism, Scottish nationalism, anti-racism? Any of the other isms?

I'm not saying that Bhoys Ultras are right-wing, but they seem a bit more conservative if they're basing their identity quite noticeably around religion and reviving sectarian chants.

It just seems odd.

 

Behave yourself. It's already been explained to you about the songs and bigotry but I may add, these songs will still be getting sung by the next generations of Celtic supporters wether clowns like you want it or not!!

 

Anyone know what this was about? Couldn't see much from where I was sitting.
