The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[ned]

Ffs tying a scarf to a post is nothing in the grand scheme of things. If a Linfield player did same a CP it would be seen for what it was. I think the only people needing to look at tempering their behaviour are the neanderthals in the stands who shout and spit abuse but then get upset at a scarf. Griffiths did f**k all wrong.

I agree.It was almost like Celtic appearing at the shit hole was what some of these soap dodgers have been waiting all their lives for,a dream come true,for all the wrong reasons.It was my intention to park in the city centre and actually walk down the Donegal Road to the cesspit,I abandoned that plan while driving up the Donegal Road and observing hordes of red white and blue zombies gathered on street corners boozing away,pre match,nearly three hours before kick off (should this be allowed prior to an explosive fixture like this?).

In any event I have submitted a report to kickitout.org and included a good few seat nos of the worst offenders.

Fair play to you Tony but you should not have been near the place, if owc boys had seen you, you could have well been in trouble.

I was not going to miss out on the opportunity to see Celtic play a mere 20 miles from my home.I honestly thought things had changed but it's as bad as ever.

[The Subbie]

Tony was in a very cunning disguise for his behind enemy lines jaunt to the sectarian cesspit.

Yeah what has changed is a massive effort to play down the sectarianism that is alive and well in NI soccer.  It is along the same lines as 'Orange Fest', turn a blind eye and report all that is rosy with a good dose of deflection. I was listening to Radio Ulster this morning and they reported that Griffiths had been charged in their 7am headlines with no mention of Linfield's charge.

And just like that I catch this nonsense:

LG's being charged with provoking the frothing mob.
Did anything of note happen after he tied the scarf around the post?

[Hectic]

Yeah if you watch it in rewind after he tied the scarf to the post there was an attempted pitch invasion, there were missiles being thrown from the crowd and their was naked hatred/sectarianism/racism from the stands.

I don't know why anyone would believe that Windsor could be anything other than poisonous, it always will be no matter what the IFA say, its in the blood.

The match the other day had noting to do with the IFA.  It was a Linfield match.

[Targetman]

Does anyone know if its televised by any station other than Celtic TV?

They don't.  Chances are the fuckwits there last Friday were not even Linfield fans.  Also, NI fanbase is not necessarily made up of folk who go and watch the Irish League clubs, let alone Linfield.  Sadly, the fixture ran the risk of attracting a minority of scumbags intent on causing bother.
