    Of course they did, they have governing bodies to answer to. It's not difficult to understand.

    Mate don't talk to me about the RA and singing songs of freedom and insurrection, I sing those songs as part of my living and have done for over a decade. I'm as sympathetic to the Republican cause, or any oppressed people's cause, as any *.

    It doesn't give me the right to kick about Celtic Park being an aggressive wee * thinking I own the place. And I certainly wouldn't be crying victim if I did and got sanctioned for it.

    I would think that they got them before the ban and Celtic had to make an example of them because they (Celtic )* up

    I’m just not convinced that it would be known for certain on the fire exit issue. Setting up the displays before games I see as the board wanting to have their cake and eat it. They’ve been happy to rake in money over the years on the back of displays funded by the GB.

    Spineless. Bending over to the hypocritical * at Uefa. The statement probably encouraged more fans to take Palestinian flags.

    You think the board are accusing GB members of * about with fire exits but they don't actually know it was them?

    As for the rest of your post, surely that says that the board are in favour of having the GB around. But somehow it says to you that they hate them and want them gone at all costs? Do you realise how idiotic that is?

    Then don't be a moron and pretend you didn't know what the pretense of my "Let the people sing" comment was. If you make a living off the songs of freedom fighting then it should have been obvious and if not then says more about you than me.

    If the GB are acting in a way that annoys you ignore them like any * would do if someone's getting on like that?

    I think it's fairly obvious they're using the sometimes childish actions of the GB to paper over the cracks of the flag display. It goes against their agenda, their personal politics and the money men of uefa so they're shafting the supporters for it. Many more than the GB had a Palestine flag in their hand and hopefully more will until this genocide is called to an end.

    At the end of the day the GB need to play it smarter, but I guess the whole point of being an Ultra/Rebel is to push the boundaries as much as you can..

    They do risk losing the very platform that's seen them do so much.. especially with Lawwell around..

    It's just business people looking after their business. Am all for rubber earing them when I feel it's justified, I refer you to my earlier post about the Palestine flags against Athletico, but they have to he seen to be addressing these things if they're under pressure.

    How many times have they let it slide in the past? It's not like they're banning * bi-weekly for daring to display political messages. But when there's pressure being applied they simply have to do it.

    Would you accept apprentices skiving all day on their phones, shouting and bawling in front of clients, making you look like a *? Would you fick. You'd nip it in the bud to protect your business/brand. Not exactly the same as the board/GB issue but not a million miles away.

    I’m just not sure how they would know for certain. Why wasn’t it dealt with before now as well? The Motherwell game was quite some time ago.

    Well given that PL has previously said “We should give them enough rope for them to hang themselves.” I think it’s fair to assume he would rather see the back of them don’t you think? Funnily enough, the fallout between fans and board has coincided with his return. Colour me shocked.

    Uefa rules states flags or banners must not contain “any message that is not fit for a sports event, particularly messages that are of a political, ideological, religious, offensive or provocative nature”. So the flag of one particular country, which just so happens to be the enemies of the Zionists enthralled in nearly every top government and banking institution, is the one flag that is irking the board/uefa. Rats.
