Celtic Supporters Thread (contains GB chat)

I don't, I think it's more important to give the manager and players the freedom to get up to speed with the new system they're working on. Panicking at this stage is only goanny hold us back.

 

So, we shouldn’t sign any players? Or we can’t do both simultaneously?

 

Lol what? The GB 'holding the club to account' will achieve absolutely * all. The club are doing business in a way we all know has not worked in the past, whatever reservations we may have don't come into their thinking in the slightest.

We need to focus on supporting the manager and the players, otherwise we risk making things harder for them.

 

Sorry, I’m missing something here. What is spray painting walls around Glasgow achieving? I support a lot of what the GB do and stand for and calling out the board, like they have done numerous times before, would at least make it clear that what we are seeing isn’t good enough. We all know Ange needs support, as do some players. We also know he’s been vocal in his need for signings, with none coming his way so far. Use your position to actually achieve something instead of going about Glasgow with green spray paint like wee neds.

 

It looks to me like they're marking their 15 year anniversary mate, and making their presence felt in the city. Nowt wrong with that in my book, especially since they've already put their name to a statement a few weeks ago that states they will support the team/manager, while also letting the board know they are watching them.

Every * is constantly so full of rage man, I canny be arsed with it.

 

The GB have called the board out on many occasions. As for spray painting. That’s also part of certain GB members street culture that they are into. Stop being a * because a group are partaking in what they see as their thing....these guys have been graf artists as long as they’ve been Celtic supporters

 

That's quite a minimalist view, I daresay.

Graffiti has been used by countless cultures, all over the world, for centuries, to convey a huge variety of messages that have political or social overtones.

Graffiti has always been a method of the working class to convey either support or opposition to those in positions of power and governance.

For example, it's was recorded that Brutus was highly influenced and indeed motivated to conspire against Julius Caesar, after noticing the growing number graffito around the Forum and the Rostra, many of them proclaiming Caesar as a tyrant.

Ironically, the much of the graffiti in Rome after the assassination of the dictator, portrayed caricatures of Brutus with * in his mouth, declaring him a traitor.

In my home city, Belfast, graffiti has been used, widespread, for decades to both communicate republican messages and to remind the occupation forces of the popular resistance to their presence. The same as in many such territories, the west bank among them.

As regards to GB. I've absolutely no qualms with the use of graffiti to declare their continued opposition to those running our football club. It's a highly effective method of reminding those in their perceived ivory towers, of the popular sentiments toward them by large sections of the support. As well as reaffirming certain aspects of our shared culture, which has been deemed unpalatable for the masses by imperial minded law makers.

So yes...

FTQ.

 

The board will not pay one bit of attention to that statement, and they will give zero * about it. They showed last year they don’t care what the fans think. The ST money is in the bank, that’s all they care about.

 

Cringe

 

Mega cringe

 

Tell you what was poor to see today,
After not being at a football match for 16 months, with new manager, young talent to see etc, a stadium less than a third full, on a Saturday afternoon, folk still * off early.

Sure it was a defeat, but * me, some folk really will just walk out of a football match early, regardless?
Not buying the rush to get out, the public transport or the congestion when the stadium is less than a third full.

 

444 Crew doing what they do

 

When will the main stand be open, anyone know?

 

UEFA are due to review the crowd limits end of this month and for domestic fixtures it's when the so called joint response group decide all restrictions can end. When the latter will be is anybody's guess but i'd imagine all clubs are pushing for things to be allowed back to normal asap.

 

Was anybody surprised about the amount of people still in their same seats around you? I did think almost everybody renewed last season but you never really knew yet its probably 95% the same as it was 18 month ago.

There is even one older guy who looks barely alive thats sat near me for maybe 5 or 6 seasons now that with the virus and 18 months, I was wodering if he'd even still be alive but he's still there.
