Sounds like you are justifying it to be honest
Not really, im telling people why their doing it. Im just saying that they are booing for a reason, which most people can't seem to get there heads round on here. People love to criticize the old firm, and surely being fans of another club that everyone criticizes you can appreciate they aren't as bad as the media make them look.
See my earlier post and you'll see that I am more than familiar with the set up at Parkhead, and 2 of my best mates are real die hard Celtic fans, as is my brother in law.
You're right they are not as bad as they are painted, but they do themselves no favours either.
Celtic are an incredibly politicised club, and have sub factions within the support that are at war with each other and the board ( see the upside down banners etc)...not to mention Rangers!
Today we saw another example, whether inside or outside the ground, of the political arm of the club coming to the fore. What annoys me is the fact that so many right minded/decent Celtic fans are reluctant to condemn this chanting, and try to justify it.
I like most people
can understand the Catholic community in Ireland feeling hatred and resentment towards the British army , but a minutes silence for the dead is not the time or place to voice it.
As I said they frustrate me, as they are my second club. When Celtic travelled to Seville we saw the best of the club. They were superb, they were a credit to the club and made a lot of friends over there, but then they turned up at our place pre-season smashed up seats, and a large percentage of their fans acted like complete dickheads before during and after the game.
