Celtic Supporters Thread (contains GB chat)

Well sorry but that's mine. There's nothing wrong in aspiring to be the best we can be in my opinion............

You and I are never going to agree to disagree on this are we

 

Well good for you

 

Would love to hear that new song getting belted out at Rosenborg when we go 2-0 before half time. Also note lads that "Pyrotechnics are officially not a crime in Norway

All fair points. I wouldn't be embarrassed by anything someone else did either. Someone else's actions, opinions don't define me as a Celtic supporter or as a person.

 

No, you're spot on - i agree with that! Except the only part that interests me is what happens on the park and INSIDE the stadium.

What happens outside is of * all concern to me. As I say, if the outrage and embarrassment is going to spread to what happens nowhere near the ground or whatever, where does it stop? Are we going to be concerned about the reputation of what happens in "our" support to the degree where we are judged by what goes on in pubs/neighbourhoods/ even people's own houses ffs?

Is the Celtic support "tarnished" because some auld guy is sitting in his armchair at home wearing his celtic top whilst calling the latest Asian family to move in to Eastenders "pakis" or some * like that????

 

I wouldn't say I've taken more interest at all, it's a case of I've seen that chant and feel embarrassed about it, like the majority of Celtic fans I've seen so far.

It was the game against Brentford a few seasons back when a Twitter rumour went around we were chanting something about Lee Rigby, it turned out that this was a lie formulated by a Hun who was nowhere near London at the time. At the time our fans were both denouncing and shocked at this behaviour, before the truth came out. Whilst I'll be the first one to advocate freedom of speech and to reject those that are easily offended, I find that behaviour and chants like these do not do us any good, and neither does condoning or trying to find a way of justifying this behaviour.

 

Oh stop it

 

I'm being serious!

Tell ye what, you have a look at the Gallowgate after a Hun's game. One occassion it will be great, everyone having a great time - the next game? Carnage. Celtic supporters acting like arseholes, all fighting amongst themselves hitting both men AND women.....

 

Fair point, but I'd argue a lot of people who are indifferent to us/them will see this as a definite negative. I've seen a lot of comments on social media along the lines of people saying they "liked Celtic but now will follow Rangers [sic]." Not that it bothers me really, as these people aren't actual supporters.

In the grand scheme of things though, it's come at a time when there's already enough * going on with the behaviour of supporters, rightly or wrongly, and chants like these really don't help matters.

 

No, you've CLEARLY taken more of an interest in this than anything else - how many posts have you put on regarding the Bradley Lowery singing/chanting in any thread related solely to that? Probably none, I suspect. Yet here, you're expressing your disappointment over a song that has recently been brought to light that includes.....what.....two people? Granted I haven't actually seen the video, but I don't need to to know what it is.

For the record, I personally WOULDN'T be singing songs about Lee * Rigby, but I neither care if others do, especially what they do in their own company.

IF it were to become a case were it is chanted INSIDE stadiums, then I'd be one of the first to condemn it.

 

So to take an interest in something I have to publicly write about it on a forum!? So presumably that goes for everyone as then too who has written thus far? Pretty silly logic...

To me, if you're wearing the Celtic shirt, you're representing Celtic. You're a Celt in the stadium and you're a Celt outside of it. If you're making a * of yourself then it's fair game to receive criticism.

 

Absolutely not (especially since not everyone uses an internet forum), but's pretty strange that since YOU do, and haven't posted anything positive in regards to the "love-in" shown for Bradley Lowery, yet are posting plenty of hostility towards a cupla guys singing a daft song.......one can only speculate.

You know what? You tell me of ONE institution in the world, or in history where not ONE single person who wears the "uniform" of the institution they represent hasn't acted like a *? And what the * makes being a Celtic supporter so special that it is flawless from idiotic behaviour?

Time to park your unicorn, and stop eating Snozberries...

 

Exactly, remember the banner we held up about Griff singing racist songs in Edinburgh, it went something along the line of "If a man is not a Celt on and off the pitch then he is of no use to us" same should be for supporters both in and out of the stadium.

 

Which meant absolutely * all then, considering the fact that he was in no way associated with Celtic in any respect when he did what he did...

 

Honestly, if you're clutching at that fact I've not posted about Bradley Lowery on here being in some way of an indication that I don't see it as just as important (or more so) as a few morons chanting an embarrassing chant then you're being ridiculous. It looks like we won't be able to get to the bottom of that anyway, as you're view will not change on that matter, somewhat unfortunately I must admit.

There's no perfect institution, I'll be the first one to agree to that, but how in anyway does that mean we can let behaviour like this go to pass, or not view it in disdain?

See, the people that let this behaviour pass or think it doesn't matter because it's a few are the reason why this behaviour happens and could occur more frequently.

 

Sigh!!!!!!!! he was * playing for us, when we held the banner up, we was reinforcing that now that he was a Celtic player, the standards of behaviour we expected, But it seems if you are a fan you don't have to uphold the same standards. I would enter into a battle of wits with you, but I hate to fight an unarmed man!!!!!

 

You're embarrassing yourself now, little one.

As I said WHEN Griffiths did what he did, he was in NO WAY ASSOCIATED WITH CELTIC IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM.

Fact.

That a banner was held up at him during a match, probably affected the square route of * all.

 

So Celtic players can act how they wish then?

So the flak Bitton gets for being a Zionist is totally out of order and unnecessary then?

 

So banners affect the square root of * all??? then why do the Green Brigade even bother? or is it only banners that suit your agenda that affect things, listen its a waste of time debating with you and your septic knuckles, continue with your vile defence.

 

I'm not clutching at anything, I've gave my opinion - which in all honesty is a side issue compared to the main issue here. But since you've touched on it again, I'll comment: it was YOU who originally mentioned how "proud" you were of how our fans reacted to the wee guy, which I find strange that you would not have commented on the internet forum that you use, but you have no qualms about touching on the NEGATIVE slant of a cupla dafties singing a bad song, as opposed to thousands singing good ones? Doesn't sound very impartial if I'm being honest.

I've never once said it wasn't to be viewed in anything other than disdain - you'll note that every time I have commented on it, I have labelled the singers "dafties" and the song itself "silly" - but I'm not about to go way overboard with any faux-outrage over some stupid nonsense like it.
