Celtic Thread - 2023/24

Seems the powers that be at Celtic have have enough of the green brigade gobshites and have banned them from home and away games…

Keep politics out of football … can’t get my head around some of the daft cNuts that pine for the bad old days in Belfast etc …

About time!

Celtic and Rangers is 95% politics, 5% football. There's guys in SCOTLAND (Rangers) who pretend they love England, the Royals and the UK as a whole just because of Celtic's Irish roots. Embarrassing.

Then there's the people on the other side (Celtic) who excuse Hamas' murders of innocents because they equate Palestine and Ireland as the same in a struggle vs Israel/England invaders. All politics, all unable to think freely/critically and follow the hive mind.

CRINGE

Funnily enough during The Troubles there was no REAL appetite for militant Republicanism in the West of Scotland. Rebel bands / marches were relatively rare.

Now after a couple of decades of not murdering innocent women and children in our shopping centres and the support is on the rise.

I saw a speech by the late Martin McGuinness recently talking about men in their 40s and 50s supporting armed republicanism. He said he didn’t know them. He didn’t recognise them. Where were these very people when The Triubles were actually happening?

Celtic have allowed this to go unchecked for years. They’ve actively supported the Green Brigade and their banners. Some may not know but The GB are allowed access to the stadium to make these banners.

Going to be very interesting where this all ends.

You think I’m a Unionist because Celtic have Irish heritage?

Bwahahahaha

Celtic actually only exist because Hibernian started a club for Irish immigrants and an Irish priest , backed by local Irish businessmen, copied them. Rangers had a very close relationship with the Edinburgh side LONG before Celtic even existed.

Yes, I do.

Welsh people and Scottish in general can't stand the English. You like them because your rivals are Irish loyalists.

Yes, I do.

I'm not trying to be rude, but you clearly have no understanding of Ulster Unionism, Irish Nationalism, the history of Scottish politics and the difference between England and Great Britain.

You have absolutely no idea about how most Scots feel towards the English. Your sweeping generalisation is actually insulting to most Scots!

48 out of 52 constituencies voted against Scottish independence in 2014!

It’s like claiming most Old Firm football supporters choose their club due to religion. I was a Rangers supporter long before I knew what religion is! I’m actually not religious at all. My children are Roman Catholics but support Rangers with a passion!

I support the English cricket team as much as any average English cricket fan!

Don’t follow any International football teams. I only ‘support’ whoever I’ve bet on.

I do dislike your Rugby team right enough but that’s it I’m afraid with my ‘hatred’ of the English

I spend quite a fair bit over an average season coming down to watch City. Last time I looked they were an English club with quite a few English internationals

My football club have no bearing on my politics. If Rangers had ceased to exist in 2012 ( yeh yeh) I’d be a Queens Park or Raith Rovers ‘supporter’ but I’d still be a staunch unionist.

Think that was glaringly obvious with the ‘Irish Loyalists’ in his quote.

I have lots of Jock and Taff friends, bit of an odd claim that.

Bit of a sweeping generalisation that. From my experience once people get to know each other they usually get on.

I’d say Glaswegians have a lot in common with Mancs and scousers in particular. The only really hatred seen is via football matches

As much as I love the Highlands I’d say I’ve much more in common with Mancs etc than I have with your traditional Tuechter.

It’s actually rare to meet a real Tuechter these days as the Highlands are full of English who love it and settle there / retire there and feel welcome there.

I’m not blinded to a very vocal minority of rabble rousers that we unfortunately have to put up with.

I’d also add that the leader of the Scottish opposition at Holyrood , Douglas Ross, is one of Scotlands top linesman and I can’t remember him being involved in any controversy and he gets what I’d call friendly banter like you’d expect the panto Villain receives.
