The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[ned]

Who gives a f**k what the Sevco board or fans or the SMSM think? The act was crass and insensitive at worst. It was a couple of supporters out of 60000. Move on.
Barca tomorrow night? 2-2 for me......... in my dreams!

Strange way to depict a death of a club?

It may not have been about that but it certainly wasn't about the suicide of anybody. It has been rightly condemned. On a related matter the statement from Rangers FC is laughable. Do they really want to open that can of worms

How do you know what the intent was behind it? Do you know the person/ people?

Doesn't matter the intent the fact that it happened leaves Celtic fans open to criticism... There were thousands of Celtic fans around and they didn't stop it.

Best fans in the world my arse!!!

Actually they did. It was removed by celtic fans who saw it and reported to stewards. Get your facts right for once

The blow up dolls idea was absolute stupidity in the extreme, whatever the intention behind it there were loads of ways to get a message across or to wind up the zombies, and that certainly was not one of them.

I cant possibly think that someone would be so low to intentionally do it in refernce to boyds brother. You have to be a really horrible person to even consider that.

I think given the hands tied behind the back it was supposed to be a reference to getting lynched. No matter the intention, it was completely stupid and wrong. I personally didn't know it was suicide awareness day, but the timing just makes it all the worse

Foreby that, it is being used as a convenient deflection tactic by the usual suspects, a pity the idiots who did it gave them such an easy target

The Celtic fans utterly debased our national flag and its sentiments in a display of utter bigotry .  True Irish republicanism defaced by these mooks . I hope Barcelona hit them for six .   Celtic fans sully Irish republicanism and its noble intentions .

I happened upon an article based on what was claimed to be "the David Moyes' blueprint on how to beat Barcelona".

Now, if there really was a blueprint existing to beat Barca,you'd expect  that it would be advertised in the sleazy pages of the tabloids  for a special price alongside ace betting tips and escort services. But here it was for free on the Herald newspaper,  the blueprint for beating Barca http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/14736368.Exclusive__The_David_Moyes_blueprint_on_how_to_beat_Barcelona/  for free, i.e. if you turn off all your adblocks.
A blueprint is something that has worked and is a template for others to follow. What worked for Moyes was Barca conceded an own goal in the first minute and Real Sociedad defended for their lives for the next 90 minutes.

"The January 2015 encounter in the Anoeta saw Sociedad take the lead via a second-minute Jordi Alba own goal then defend resolutely for the remainder of the match, gaining a clean sheet despite Lionel Messi and Neymar joining Luis Suarez on field for the last half hour."

That all sounds very doable, i certainly will consider Rodgers an utter failure if he isn't able to equal or better the dour Scot's record at Camp Nou.

It was more than a couple of fans, anyone who was near those knackers and did nothing are part of the problem.


I expect more from Celtic fans than I do newco fans, I am appalled at what I saw from some Celtic fans, true fans need to out these arseholes and forever rid this Vermin from Celtic .

If only you knew the hard work the security staff at Celtic work trying to stop this shit happening, I have been there with them and the amount that actually gets confiscated is unreal but unfortunately there are some that slip thru the net. When someone wants to display a banner then the security staff at Celtic must see it first and approve it before it's allowed to be displayed...You all know that there are dickheads everywhere and we have enough of them here on the Board too but that you can only Police them so much and there will always be a time that they get their stupid way.

Use a bit of common sense would you Ffs.

Hundreds of flags and banners hung of the top tier. Unless you're in the front row and looking directly down you wouldn't know they are there. Equally, if you were in the bottom tier they wouldn't be seen unless you're looking directly up at that them. Most people would be looking at the pitch.

They were seen, taken down by supporters reported to and given to stewards.

They shouldn't have been there in the first place, but given that they were it gives people ammunition to slate the entire support which will keep some people happy

I see our super clever manager is banging on about Suarez being the best player in the World.What a way to build up your own players for an arduous challenge,talking up the opposition😡

[uimhr ocht]

We will do extremely well to keep the result to  a narrow defeat tonight,you have to laugh at rangers statment regarding feeling offended after sat match,they sang "up to our necks in fenian blood"paedo,trashed toilets,sang about jock stein etc and went away offended lol,its clearly a distraction tactic played out also by the media.
