Celtic Supporters Thread (contains GB chat)

No offense mate but I don't think you've got the capacity to understand what am saying. Either that or you're willfully ignoring it. Pointless.

 

This is why I said you have no intention of attributing any blame to the GB over this. You're trying to butter it up as 'I'll wait to see the evidence' but you've already made up your mind.

 

Not really. In fact, I’ve addressed the PFLP flag now also. Saying that given the UK have proscribed them as a terrorist organisation, I think it’s not boxing clever to fly the flag as the the board will of course nail them for it. The GB can’t have any complaints about that.

You on the other hand seem to have listened to one side and have automatically jumped to the conclusion they are guilty. So if any of us are not being fair here, it’s you.

What’s your take on Lawwell saying about giving them enough rope to hang themselves? This was years ago but I’m assuming his feelings won’t have changed. So surely this shows he would rather see the back of them no?

 

All I'm reading is your attempt to justify the boards decision to punish the GB based on a set of fairly minor incidents, when in fact it's clear what the real reason is (which it appears is one action you agreed with). I'm also reading into your bizzare aggrevation of those who are * off with the boards punishment of the GB and absolute naivety that they may not actually have proof of all said allegations.
I'll take your passive aggressive insult of my intelligence as a welcome end to our conversation. I have neither the energy or the want to converse with someone who has a bootlicker attitude.

 

Im sure the standing sektion will be loud anyway. Will ppl be offered to move there, or how will it work?

Heard they've invited Nir Bitton and a few off duty IDF bhoys to come round and wave flags for Abada. Seems legit

 

Very sad yet very Celtic that we mange to implode when should be in a position to explode!

 

I'd forgot all about that quote till recently but I see it's something that still irritates you. For what it's worth at the time I thought it was snide as *, but back then I wasn't level headed enough to put myself in the shoes of the people running the club. I was a selfish wee * who thought fans should be allowed to do what they want as it is OUR club. But then I grew up and realised that life is all about give and take.

In other words, you don't get to * on the rule book and not have it come back to bite you on the *. The club have been patient and now they are cracking down. It is what it is.

 

Situation is a shambles. The GB need to get act a bit smarter. They have a massive backing in our support, but they also have a massive amount of fans that seem to want them to *, as do our board. They need to calm it if they're doing daft stuff that allows the council, fire officers or whoever else to get involved, because that gives the board the opportunity to pull this type of thing.

The flags, the songs, the pyro ... will get the odd fine.

The minute you start overcrowding and potentially causing crushes or stuff like that, if true, is enough to cause serious issues and could end up with stand closures etc.

 

Nah you opened the conversation with absolute wee guy gibberish that had * all to do with the issue at hand. Now you're acknowledging it with 'a set of fairly minor incidents' but still claiming the big bad board have banished innocent fans for flying a flag. It's pure simpleton territory.

Am no bootlicker, neither am I hiding from the fact that some of our fans are entitles * wanks.

 

It absolutely still irritates me. Any person that shows this level of contempt for any of our support is a *. It’s everything that is wrong with the relationship between the current board and the fans. If there were no Celtic fans, there would be no Celtic, simple as that. That doesn’t mean that supporters should be allowed to do whatever they want by the way, but when you have someone on the board actively wanting a section of our support to “* up” so he can get rid of them, this * has no right to be involved with our club in my opinion.

 

Out of interest, and having the memory of a man who had too many eccies and buckets in his younger days, where was that quote from again? Vaguely remember it being pretty well stood up, but can't remember the details.

Regardless, am sure if the GB were more open to compromise he'd be more inclined to let things slide, but they're not and never have been.

 

I seem to recall it being on a podcast. The guy telling it had sat on the board I’m sure and it got said at a meeting. The guy then decided to walk away from it as didn’t want to be part of that as it was trying to shaft fellow Celtic fans. I’ve absolutely despised Lawwell ever since to be honest. Absolutely disgusting to talk about fans in that way in my opinion.

 

What's the average age of a GB member? Twenties? I'm guessing the age where you think you know better than everybody else (I'm talking in a general sense, not about Palestine or anything else political)

@Double Dutch

Had a search the see if I could find anything. Read the top post.

 

It was on the HomeBhoys podcast

 

Aye but it's served to cloud your judgement over things as a result, to the point where every perceived negative that could possibly be found around the club is down to one man alone. For a guy that seems to enjoy a detailed and nuanced debate, you don't half like to skew things to one side of an argument at times.

Bottom line here is the GB have been pushing their luck for a long, long time, and it's now catching up to them. Claiming 'wait for the facts' does not wash am afraid.

 

Behaviour of them needs to be better. There is an element of them that seem to just wanna cause trouble or go looking for it when at the end of the day it's a game of football and supporting the team should be the be all and end all.

Had a season ticket for 30 year but if I or any ordinary punter had done some of the things listed we would like be banned for life from all football so in a way they are still getting preferential treatment that other wouldn't.

On flip side tho, is there behaviour any worse than its been previously? They are regularly doing stupid * so why is it all of a problem this season....... Imo it's due to that * Lawell

 

I'm more aware now than ever of the wanks within our support. No doubt about that.

 

It just so happens that the man in question seems to be around when the negative things happen. As I said, the last two years have been fine. We seem to have reverted to type this season though. Both in terms of transfers and with the relationship between the board and fans. Maybe I’m wrong and my judgment has been clouded. Maybe it’s just a coincidence. However, any man who has said that about a section of our support surely has his own judgement clouded when it comes to matters surround the group no?

Of course you need to wait for the other side. That’s just how it works. I don’t make the rules on that.
