The uncomfortable truth about many Celtic fans

M8 that's the kind of thing that makes Celtic fans different from any other in my opinion

 

He'll need to be quick :icon_mrgreen:

 

:snack:

even the burd says there are loads of good points here.

Edit..

she doesn't like Strachan like some people cause she can mind how much he wound us up.. but she's auld! lol

 

What's she wearing? hahahaha

Only jestin m8, didn't mean any offense

 

you make me laugh m8,,yer brill

 

Av been hangin about wae Jim The Tim too much m8, a used to be quite a boring * lol

 

Good post mate.

There is definitely an element of the support who dislike him because of his Aberdeen playing days, including one regular poster from TC who is conspicuous by his absence tonight.

But I think there is also a new more radical section of younger fans who are desperate to play the Republican card.

Hope and sometimes outright desperation for success at Celtic has been replaced by expectation of it and this new 'oppressed minority' mentality.

 

I do and so do several moderators and no offence mate, we've been watching all threads, even ones we dont post in for years now and we see alot of this *.

You dont see the worst of it as we have been banning these bigots and removing their posts from public consumption. The amount of bile from supposedly "Celtic fans" is sickening to me and has led me and others to question why we are supporting Celtic. Yes, that bad.

 

Who was is goal for mot of those games??

 

Foe me it's not a religion issue. No one has ever mentioned his religion to me, whether they like him or dislike him. For me Strachan is just a very unlikeable individual, he doesn't generate any goodwill in a lot of people.

I don't recall religion ever being an issue for Venglos, Jansen or Barnes.

 

well mabye the way u post reflects that,,if we dont see what your seeing ,then we are at a dissavantage are we not?

the question being posted by a supermod seeing the * only you can see it seems a tad unfair to ask us to comment on it ,

 

Found him.

 

If we dont delete, it ends up in the papers and TC looks like it in support of such comments which is the furthest from the truth

Some comments arent deleted but are punished, it depends.

I know know you've seen the Stachan GTF threads after every bad match and all the non regulars come out of the woodwork to spout inaccurate *. These people were probably banned from other forums aswell

 

Respect is a two way thing. Some supporters feel, and IMO have reasonable cause to feel, that WGS does not respect the support.

Likewise his conduct in the media, which someone dismissed as being a daft reason, is at times inappropriate.

 

Good post...I can empathise with this. As a team we have definitely lost our way.

 

True and I've seen alot of fans and media take his comments out of context when he refers to the fans.

I've seen alot of respect from him towards the fans when he comments

 

well there you go,,something new ive learned about you today

 

See that oppressed minority thing. Its another case of people pretending they are from a generation or so back. The statistics show now Scottish catholics are socially identical to protestants in terms of income and class category apart from the pension age category. Young catholics Scots no longer have a social disadvantage according to the stats. The chip on shoulder has been past down the generations even after the problem has gone. I just have no time for it.

My own Irish descended family just got on with it several generatoins back and have been doing OK for 4 generations now. We never made a song and dance about our origins nor did we get much discrimination or dwell on what we did get. We didnt set ourselves apart and get a ghetto mentality, only marrying other catholics etc etc. We just got on with it, integrated and ignored the people of similar origin who formed negative chip on shoulder politically minded groups.

I think a lot of people like to think their 'lot' in life is down to discrimination but I know loads of catholics who got on well 2 or 3 generatoins back and most people had a hard time in those days not just catholics. People blame their own failings on this sometimes. Lastly, although there is some genuine bigotry, I do think many many tims are paraniod and hypersensitive, actually looking out for any possible percieved slights. Its a terrible mentatility to have but a lot of people just thrive on the victim thing. Its sad. It is a state of mind because other guys from the same background can live in Scotland without all this tribal victim feeling. Thank * my parents and grandparents had common sense and didnt go in for the 'this is us, that is them' type stone age thinking. Anyone who brings up children like that should recognise it for what it is - sectarianism in its broadest sense. It creats a sectarian mindset where they will think of one lot as us and another lot as them.

 

Good or bad??
