REAL RADIO> CELTIC'S STATMENT ON REMOVAL OF BANNERS ETC...

Don't worry, no dig taken. That article does dumb things down a bit, plus the assertion that 50% want separation isn't actually true. Support for it has been declining since 2003 and the last elections in 2008, suggested 37% were in favour.



As for the flags, I personally see no meaning in a Basque flag for me either as a Celtic Supporter or as a political activist if I'm honest. Not even as a learner of the (extremely difficult) language. I just hope the GB's use of it is not as a link to ETA, who are anything but freedom fighters, believe me.

Anyway, I still take election results as something concrete and factual. Still, that was a nice wee exchange of views anyway, and I did realise what you were saying to Messi. Just wanted to clear up the misconceptions and falsehoods that get passed off as fact, that's all.

 

Now you can.

And no i'll refer to where i'm from as the North of Ireland, if thats ok with you of course

 

its a joke this tbh the gb try and get the atmosphere going but there are too many fans that look at you a funny way when you start to sing,these people need to get a grip and as for celtic they have to get the finger out and work with the gb and other fans and help to generate an atmospher at cp,but as per usual the board dont want to comment.

 

listen sonny,ive been going to celtic park longer than youve been alive,judging by the immaturity of your posts,ive been politically active for many many years,i decided a long time ago what was right and wrong,and if terrorism,wether it be car bombs,bombs in bins,shootings or any other way of killing people for your "cause",its wrong,plain and simple,shovel a body into a black bag after a car bomb and tell me about a cause,all you armchair revolutionaries,keep you causes in your heid or your house,protest in george square,freedom fighters my *,one mans,blah blah blah,its victim mentality with you lot,not once have i read anywhere,even on the web,about a police horse charge outside c.p,not once!!!
anyone in a uniform is a target for you lot,you are a joke,political amateurs,i was a shop steward at 17,one of the youngest ever,i was politiscised when you were a wet dream in your ddaddies fevered imagination,so dont lecture me on being unable to decide,glad i got that off my chest

 

yet again the celtic fans are being picked on by police, i think that the green brigade statement sums it up well, i was in a section just next to the gb at the weekend and also agree that the action that the police/stewards took was uneeded. my mate was in the jock stein stand and he told me that there were alos fans at the back of lower tier with banners and a drum who had them confiscated before the game had even kicked off.

 

So after all that, it's completly wrong to show your support for actual human beings being slaughtered on the Gaza strip?

 

You should work for sky news, after all, if its not on sky news it didn't happen.

 

okay,first of all,what were the banners,what was on them,did you have flags likely to embarrass or upset anyone,or of a political nature,prove that the police picked on someone,do you feel that by buying a ticket to a public place of entertainment,you feel that you can do and say what you want?no you cant,you have to observe civilised norms to some degree,too many people think they can sing and say and do what you want,no,the club issue a social statement,a public guideline for exactly that reason.we are run on a professional basis now,i worked at cp at the time of the old board,and thru to the early mccann years,it was night and day,and when you usher in a new era,as happened,you end up with a new broom,and part of that new broom was to sweep away the pro ira,sectarian songs that used to be sung regularly at games,and to most of us that was fine,to a loud minority,it was castrating them,removing the right to shock,to enforce their political and ned agenda on the majority,because its never been a majority,i defy you to say it has,outside of a particularly vile old firm atmosphere its never been a majority singing political or sectarian songs,so the club changed and you dont like it now?trouble is ,now all you do is emabarrass the club and dare i say,yourselves.

 

now if that made any sense it might be worth responding to,butseeing as its nonsense,and you probably have a victim/personalit y complex i will pity you,sad boy:bbpd::bbpd::bbpd:

 

so you wouldnt object if someone brought in a star of david to show some support for the embattled people of israel,who have been slaughtered by bus bombings in the recent past,or rockets fired at them by a terrorist organisation,dont give me the usual answers,tell me how you would react if someone pulled out a flag supporting israel,does democracy only go your way?

 

I personally did not see the banners that were removed from the jock stein stand before the game had begun, it was my mate that told me of this happening and according to him they were non-sectarian and non political banners and a few basque and palestine flags. However when I was over at section 111 i cannot recall hearing the green brigade or anyone else to that matter singing any songs of a political or sectarian nature. I support the green brigade in their political beliefs and the idea of getting a good atmosphere back into celtic park, Also your point about us embarrassing ourselves I disagree with as we are simply making our point of what we believe in.

 

even the aiden mcanespie song,and that was sung ,is political in nature,and ludicrous in incidental fact,not the aiden verses,but the loughgall and gibraltar references,read into these incidents and decide for yourself,loughgall was an ira active service unit intent on death and destruction,who were caught out on a counter sting operation,gibraltar also,they were scouting for a place to plant a car bomb to massacre an army band,and the tourists who watched them,and they were caught out,,and the sas did what comes natural to soldiers,they killed them,the ira knew this and do you think for a minute they expected anything else,no they expected it if found in that position.so aiden mcanespie is a political song,and boys of the old brigade,and any other,sean south,as they relate to an organisation that has ,it claims,political aims

 

I certailnly dont recall either boys of the old brigade or sean south getting sung at the game at the weekend or any other home game in recent months, Aiden McAnespie may well be classed as 'political' by many due to a few refrences however it is a song created in honour of a man murdered by the british army.

 

No need buddy, just do yourself a favour and don't be so narrow minded ye, don't just seat on your * all day believing the world is in a television. Get out more.

 

Id be lying if i said it wouldn't be sickening if people were to publicly support the bombardment Isreal are performing. So your view is if the government order the killing, it's correct. If the missiles are fired by the official army weapon, that makes it ok?

Also for the 'if it's not celtic it shouldn't be here brigade' what do you think of this item being sold on the official website, bearing in mind it has nothing whatsoever to do with CELTIC FOOTBALL club?

i realise that you are only singing and shouting for what you believe in,but thats the same line used by the other side,rangers fans say that they are singing songs related to their culture and beliefs,nonsense,their beliefs are abhorrent to most normal people,as are the songs in support of the ira,respectfully i ask you your age,if you did not live thru the nightly litany of news broadcasts from the north in the 70s 80s and 90s,right up to omagh you cannot comprehend the disgust and hatred that most of britain and the world felt for the atrocities done by both sides,if you are a young guy with a romantic vision of it,read and learn about the horror of it,songs are cheap propaganda,both sides did horrific damage too each other,and your gb songs are disgusting and abhorrent,in the same way the famine song and no surrender and any others they sing are

 

as you dont know me ,and i dont know you ,we cant seriously comment on each other,but honestly boy,ive lived a life you can only dream of,good and bad,go see your mammy,shes shouting you in for the night

 

good night lads,ill be back tomorrow,think on you might come up with something sensible,ha ha

 

I am a young guy but I know more about the topic than you may think as my dad aunties uncles and grandparents all grew up in the troubles and experienced them first hand. The green brigade never sing sectarian songs and only the odd time you will hear a political song. However rangers on the other hand have no excuse as near enough every song they sing is SECTARIAN in one way or another
