Fair play to the Indy Bhoys, they actually looked like they enjoyed themselves tonight which is more than can be said for the rest of the ground.

That's it, they're at least trying to generate something, kinda shortbread GB.

Have I missed something, was this taken down by the stewards, is that what was being discussed earlier?

The fact that nothing was done about this after previous incidents is a talking point in itself.

No political banners acceptable unless of course they do not concern Ireland.

The 'display' last night did concern Ireland as much as it did Scotland - both in the context of our club.

Then where was the Irish flag?
Then where was our language(ár dteanga)?

They had a tricolour the other side of the saltire.

 That would make things better but it would still only be a small corner of a couple of hundred people singing throughout the game with others joining in on the very odd occasion.

The total lack of edge to our games, no needle, no rivalry with opposition fans etc etc all help compound matters.

A few hundred people signing in a corner sounds a lot better than "Hello Hello" does it not? There is very few stadiums in Europe where it isn't just the one corner.

Then there's away games. Away games a few months ago were brilliant, constant singing. Last few away games have been awful.

They get a lot of people joining in compared to without them. There's been no Huddle since they've been gone, no COYBIG...

 I said it would make things better - which wouldn't be hard - but it wouldn’t make the stadium some great place in terms of atmosphere. That’s really lost for us now domestically.

Away games have been in a sharp decline for a few years now, it‘s not something that has just happened the past few games.

OK I was not there so could only go on the picture. However without the the use of the Irish language it was more of a Scottish display.

I have no problem with displays in favour of Scottish independence but I feel if there had been a banner advocating the return of the 6 counties to Ireland then the stewards or the police would have ensured it was removed and those responsible for it banned.

Roll of Honour Download Campaign to be launched 8th February

Fans Against Criminalisation are delighted to announce plans to release the single ‘’Roll of Honour’’ in association with The Irish Brigade for the duration of the week beginning on 8th of February. This single will be available for download on iTunes. We would like to thank the band for kindly allowing us to use their song to help aid our campaign against the criminalisation of football supporters and the suppression of political expression.

Download the Roll of Honour any time in the week 8 -15 February inclusive and let’s get it into the UK Top 40 Singles Charts and embarrass the hypocrites who seek to criminalise us.

This particular song is a ballad about civil resistance and a struggle for basic human rights and it has been a favourite of the Celtic support for over a decade. Shamefully, the SNP’s Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act has resulted in the song becoming a target for Police Scotland and numerous arrests have been made as a result. From its outset FAC has sought to oppose this discriminatory piece of legislation and to defend the rights of football supporter’s which have been continually eroded since the Act’s introduction.

We call on the Celtic family from all corners of the globe to support this campaign by downloading the single to help raise funds to aid the legal costs of those whose lives are being torn apart by this disgracefully illiberal law and to help further publicise the hypocrisy inherent within the government’s position.

FAC Statement
Fans Against Criminalisation have noted the statement released by Celtic yesterday and the media coverage of the events of Friday night at Fir Park. All of the organisations associated with this campaign (Celtic Supporters' Association, Celtic Trust, Green Brigade, Affiliation of Registered CSCs and Association of Irish CSCs) condemn wanton acts of vandalism and have no objection to those responsible, if identified and after a fair and transparent investigation, being suitably disciplined. There are stadium regulations and laws which deal with such actions and our campaign is not against those laws. We wish to make it clear that what happened on Friday has absolutely nothing to do with our campaign against the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act which is a campaign against the criminalisation of free speech and political expression. We note attempts by the media to conflate the issues of vandalism with legitimate protest and we are confident that fair-minded people will see that for what it is.

Imo there is no chance of a green brigade return but possibly a singing section run by the club similar to man united?

I presume by this you mean there is no chance of the club handing over a section to the GB rather than the GB not being back in the stadium?

I don't doubt that a club led signing section will happen and it will largely be ineffective.
