    A minute ago you said you had nothing against them, now you resent them. Make up your mind. And to say you resent them because of what non GB members think about them, well that is the most laughable of all. To resent the group becasue of peoples opinions of them :smiley-laughing002:

    how bout the one last week claiming the club were exaggerating about the amount of damaged seats n saying something down the lines of "we went n checked out the seats after a meeting with the board and its nothing near what the club are claiming to be damaged. Then when asked about the flares n fireworks they denied it and said something like "we don't know who did it but it wasn't us" whopper, it sounds like something the GB would plan to bring this ohh so famous atmosphere they feel they need to top every time. Not as if the GB were exactly anti flares/fireworks before hand so I wouldn't put it past them. They deny everything they get confronted with so I completely understand why PL would have to eventually shut it down.

    oh and the statement calling the club pathetic and stating that they're gonna take legal action against them. I mean if that's not a group that's too big for their own boots I don't know what is. I mean c'mon tae *, taking the club to court? U do know that contradicts everything the group was brought together for ... Supporting your club! Not as if they have banned the GB members from entering the stadium. The last statement claiming to take the club to court was the icing on the cake for me. It just shows that the supporter group has converted into more of an activist group. Using the Celtic vast fan base for their own power trip pleasure. IMO

    PS I love that I'm * everyone off. That was my objective. That and explaining to the minority of fans on here that believe the GB are in the right to attack our club.

    Celtic fc 1st ... Everyone else last!

    I'm sure the pictures that are framed in the superstore were took from a photographer that was funded/employed by Celtic in some way.

    u know what I meant! How can u say they are profiting off of pictures of the GB when Celtic have had pictures of our impressive fan base on picture frames in the superstore well before the GB was formed. This is what I mean, you guys act like everybody owes you something.

    Did they sell framed photos of the display against Barcelona prior to the GB? Was it not the GB themselves that organised and were able to get funds to put the fantastic spectacle together. How much did Celtic put towards that?

    Believe me when I say this, you're not * anyone off - you're actually amusing us with your embarrassingly-poor posts.

    I'm not even going to nit-pick that whole rubbish you just posted there, but I'll focus on the first point:

    Are you saying it's childish for a group who was blamed for wrecking seats in a full section of a section, and for releasing a statement saying they'd checked out the seats and that it wasn't as many as claimed to be?

    Yes - really childish :97:

    When did I mention anything about pictures? :97:

    The club HAVE profited from the "Just Can't Get Enough" merchandise campaign that was introduced of the back of the popularity of the Green Brigade chants of the song.

    I suggest you either start reading posts clearer, or not replying to mine at all.

    oh I get it. So u can claim songs that come from your section but if a bunch of broken seats come into the mix its "our section is really big and not all are GB members"

    I understand you'd getting a laugh out of my coments. Its 6am where I am n I'm using my phone so give us a brake ffs :56:

    that's what I'm talking about, you'll claim certain songs co.e fro. Ur section when it suits you but if its Ira songs it gets denied.

    PS what entitles a group of fans royalties to a chant they sang when they were at a football game? Not the GB's song. N btw I do resent the GB for the comments about the club ... but what I meant before was I like the atmosphere they bring n wouldn't mind if they got their own standing section and agreed to calm it with the Ira songs n what not. Honestly think the GB would benefit from a PR consultant to take a look at their statements before posting them online. In all honesty, they just went about things the wrong way n I think that's just down to unprofessionalism. Celtic don't make statements they wish they could take back due to bad public feed back (which GB clearly got this week) and that's because Celtic have someone hired that his or her career is based on how to handle the public n media. Where as it seems GB are seriously lacking as it seemed someone came home from the meeting with the board, sparked q bottle of whisky n jumped on their laptop n started blasting the club in an official statement. If the GB want to be treated with respect they need ed to know how to handle vast amounts of peoples views on topics such as taking the club to court. Not a popular comment to make. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out!

    WHAT THE * ARE YOU ON ABOUT????

    Who has mentioned anything about the GB's royalties for the JCGE stuff?

    :56::56::56:


    My section? Who said it was my section?

    And, I'd NEVER deny singing a song about the IRA - not to any uncletomsouptaker * in the world.

    Not a * chance.

    How much truth do any of us really know?

    Why are a small group of ultras our only form of atmosphere?

    Was something found in some form investigation that warranted the closure of the section after persistent warnings?

    In all of this Celtic to me just come across as the potrayed evil parent who is out to ruin it's kids life while the GB play victim and throw around threats like legal proceedings.

    There is only so many warnings a parent can give before it's disobedient child must be punished at which point people may not agree with but is needed as under no circumstance should our stadium's safety certificate ever be brought into question.

    The Celtic board now seem to be very right wing which is against the majority of the fans who have socialist tendancies. They are tugging at the very fabric of the club when banning free speech. What's next, no tricolour flying over Celtic Park. Lets just change our name to Glasgow Hibernian.

    Being right-wing has nothing to do with banning free-speech, and, some would say, it's the opposite. See [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_correctness[/ame]

    It's a non-issue anyway. Celtic board members, staff and fans, contrary to what certain groups would have you believe, have every right to hold right-wing political beliefs.

    There is no check-list for who is and who isn't a "real" Celtic supporter.

    Besides, the action taken by the board doesn't curtail the free expression of Green Brigade supporters, instead it's free assembly, which every venue manager and business owner has every right to dictate within their premises for health and safety reasons.

    **Disclaimer**

    I'm not a left-wing revolutionary waging a war against the patriarchal capitalist control system. And since I'm not for those who are, I'm against, which makes me a Hun, I suppose.

    There are people on here who claim to have been on the Gb web site and when they said anything the GB didn't like they got booted.....free speech works both ways.
    What has the board done to make you believe they are going after the tricolour next or are you just scaremongering like others.
