Celtic Supporters Thread (contains GB chat)

Remember they got done for lateral movement..

That was a classic..

 

Lateral movement? I've heard the wording when regards to a company /organisation but what did Celtic mean by it?

 

Aye, but wit do you really think

 

Haven’t heard Toytown for a while

 

Ultras will always be under scrutiny, its a shame some clubs (Italian ultras are known to be violent and some of their clubs seem in fear of them), football clubs in England have a terrible issue with Racism, they don't hold their fans under such scrutiny. Most don't doubt the good that has and can come from the green Brigade whether it be political or moral. However silly little things c,rightly or wrongly, an undermine good works.

 

6 of one and half a dozen of the other.

The club are covering their arses with Uefa
The GB are spitting out the dummy.


We have this merry-go-round every season, frankly im * bored of both sides.

That being said the GB have * up with their "statement"... which was tantamount to sevcoism in its deflection and denial. Calling club out publicly for withholding their tickets now FORCES the club to act if the GB infringe again in ANY capacity. Shot themselves in the foot... much like they do at least once every season.

I love what they do. And i love my club. But both parties need to take a step back and grow the * up.

 

The board can't be all over the GB yet do * about resolution 12.*.tories on a * Celtic board.if my poor dad had lived to see Tories at our club he would have died of shame * bless him.

 

A whiff of self-importance about that GB statement, imo.

The pyro issue actually takes away from all the good work, political messages and charity that the GB does. That's a shame. As I said before, pyro is banned so whether you agree or not, by continuing to do it you're knowingly hurting the club financially.

 

Genuine question here. What are peoples objections to the continual use of pyros?
I get the safety issue. The answer surely is for the club to engage with the proper authorities to introduce safe pyro like other progressive nations/leagues. It adds to the matchday experience for me. Imo I love it.
I honestly don't get the fans who continually moan about fines.
FFS man the board more or less treat supporters with contempt with their lack of action in tackling key issues which we all know about.

 

You don’t understand why fans have an issue with their club being needlessly and negatively impacted, financially?

 

That's right mate I don't. Not when all member clubs were massively financially impacted by oldco being given a european license, and our board won't do * all on that, but will act on uefa being upset about banners and pyros. If you can't see the obvious hypocrisy in that I'm a bit miffed tbh.

 

Like a couple of kids they are. Relationship between them breaking down because the board take the * huff over the investment banner and the GB can somehow actually be that close minded to the other side of the Pyro arguement.

Point remains the club are well and truly at it enforcing section bans on 3 days notice on a support that travels from as far and wide as ourselves.

 

They suspended them for moving side to side..

 

The pyros would kill me with my asthma if I were anywhere near the GB.

Great atmosphere and visual display.

... The pyros, not my death.

 

Keep seeing * say the GB need to stop damaging the clubs reputation

Getting fined of UEFA for setting off a flare is hardly damaging our rep, unless of course your a EPL tourist fan boy or something. And let’s be honest the fines are peanuts.

Pyro will have to stop of course before we are punished more severely or even worse lose our great ultra group altogether.

Club should maybe look into the safe use of pyro.

 

Awful, craven behaviour by the board. Actually looking to do us down in key games. Dunno why I expected better but I did. Rolling together the banners with the pyro issues is wrongheaded and dangerous.

 

If our game wasn't run by dinosaurs we would be looking at safe pyro. No doubt in my mind.

 

I get your point now you've elaborated but I think it's possible and logical to object to both.

The Celtic board are spineless cowards for not pursuing resolution 12 and I think they should be taken to task; but that doesn't mean I think the GB should fire up sparklers because they think they look good and 'cause we've previously lost money in the past. That's an incredibly weak argument.

Pyro does nothing for me personally but if the GB want talk with the authorities and club on implementing safe pyro then I'm all for that but in the interim the pyro should be binned.
