The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Milltown Row2]

Still talking about a match that might not happen! And how if it does who will chant or not chant! Bizzare

[T Fearon]

It will happen.The Linfield hordes will have the wind taken quickly out of their sails by a couple of early Celtic goals,and with no opposing fans to taunt,this should develop quickly into the non event it really is.

Did I miss the fines for sectarian chanting/banners?

Did I miss the fines for sectarian chanting/banners?

When the FA and IFA  got done for the poppy celebration last year, did you accuse them of  behaving in a sectarian manner with sectarian celebrations and sectarian symbols etc? you probably didn't. Celtic were charged under the same offence, singing illicit songs and displaying illicit banners of a political nature not allowed by Uefa. The 'boys of the old brigade' is not a sectarian song, it is perceived to be a political song, displaying a  banner with the images of Bobby Sands and William Wallace  are not a sectarian act but a political action, flying a Palestinian flag is a political gesture, not a sectarian gesture. Singing some republican folk songs are regards as political by Uefa, not sectarian.

Sectarian chanting is what Rangers Fc got done for , racist behavior is what Croatia FA got done for, illicit banners, political songs are  what Celtic got done for.

[T Fearon]

No need for political displays at any football game.Celtic fans come from a diverse range of backgrounds.

It was a sarcastic question mate. But a very good answer all the same and hopefully shows the fella who mentioned sectarianism chanting that he was wrong

Sorry Tonto, I missed the sarcasm bit.

How long will it take for the zealous Strathclyde Police HQ to find fault with "Grace" and condemn it to be a most devious sectarian, pro-terrorist, IRA apologist song masquerading as a harmless love ditty?

No problem mate. Hard to convey it over the Internet.
I'm surprised they haven't already done it to be honest

Hate to break it to you, but Bobby Sands was in an organisation that carried out sectarian murders.

Stop digging. Celtic haven't been done for sectarian chanting as you said they were

[From the Bunker]

Any hope for La Fiorita beating Linfield looks remote they have played 10 games in Europe. Their record is 0 wins a 10 losses. Scoring one goal and conceding 35.

They are 22/1 with the Bookies to win tonight!

Yeah know absolutely nothing about them but I imagine the bookies would have a better idea so in that case I would say no chance.  Suppose the one thing that might work in their favour is that Linfield have their eyes on the next round though this could work the other way as I am guessing Linfield players have been all back and at it full tilt to ensure they get a crack at Celtic.

Not digging at all.  Just highliting the fact that portraying Celtic fans as lily-white innocents is absurd.

you said Celtic fans were done for sectarian chanting and have tried to rationalise that point a few times. I don't know anyone who thinks Celtic fans are whiter than white. However, compared to fans of certain other teams we sure are
