The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[ned]

Ok. Calling out the overt sectarianism around this fixture is now trolling. Ok. Got it.

I've been to Celtic park
Many times and feel a strong affinity to their Irish and charitable origins.
That said, there are elements of the old firm rivalry which are dangerous and unattractive.
Scott Brown's  interviews are often hilarious and he's proven himself to be a winner , but like all old firm
Players , he has a responsibility not to provoke . It appears There is a man fighting for his life and a family in distress because of injuries incurred related to the old firm yesterday. That's reality. Celtic have much better resources and a much better team and I was delighted with the win, but Scott Brown's behaviour yesterday left a lot to be desired .
I'm absolutely delighted for Neil Lennon particularly, but Brown should remember that Neil and others have suffered enormously as a result of sectarianism, and I hope all of us genuine Celtic fans are big enough to analyse Scott Brown's behaviour yestersday, and though it's hard not to have a laugh and enjoy his goading of our rivals, we must be big enough to admit that it's not what Celtic is.about , as an institution .

That's pathetic. Brown is in no way responsible for what went on in town yesterday.
If some maniac wants to knife someone it wasn't because of what Brown did.
Gerrard's comment after the game about Halliday wanting to "protect his own people " was more dangerous.

Catch a grip of yourself. There is a man fighting for his life. It is nothing to Do with  scott Brown ffs. To even put the tow in the same paragraph is absolutely ridiculous

Everyone involved in this fixture has a responsibility to dial down the hate. Celtic, Rangers, the players, staff and most of all the supporters. But 100s of years of sectarianism is ingrained and as is evident on this board, a lot are blind to that which is sad.

[ned]

There is no doubt that people were stabbed because they were Celtic supporters. The attacks were carried out by seriously violent people. They did not do it because of what went on at a football match. They did it because they are hate filled individuals. Why do incidents like this happen in Scotland after a Glasgow Derby only? They don't is the true answer but that doesn't suit the narrative. If you believe otherwise then you are naive or working to an agenda.
More supporters are arrested percentage wise at Birmingham City matches than at any other UK ground. I suppose Jack Grealish shouldn't be so good! What happened to provoke the Roma fans to attack several Liverpool fans last year? That's just two examples, there's plenty more. Maybe we should just ban soccer matches?
What is happening in Scotland is nothing other than outright thuggery.

Why are so many against N Lennon taking it on a permanent basis? If he wins the treble surely you can't pass him, he's tried and tested. He's a brainy lad who knows Celtic and knows the players, if he doesn't win the two remaining trophies then by all means look elsewhere but some of you are sounding like Sevco fans

You are biased on this one mate and rightly so but I agree. He deserves a 1 year contract at least imo. He stepped into the breach and he is delivering. I love the fact it means so much to him. He is genuine.

Hes quute good, but I am not sure if he is good enough.

I was unimpressed with the substitutions on Sunday.
I understand why he wanted to bring guys on to give them a run, but you need to leave sentiment out of the equation.
He should have left hayes on and the team going for the juggler for the first 20 mins of second half, then make changes as required as lads got tired.

As for morelos..he was niggling away at players and lashed out when brown niggled him.

It's all brown did.
I saw a photo of a group of sevco players wildly celebrating in Scott browns face during and after the huns 1-0 win in December... so karma... there was no furore about this behaviour from Celtic or the fans. It was only about the poor performance.

Also no surprise that reports that all the stabbed fans were Celtic fans. Theres only one side that gets homicidal after a defeat... and that's the sevco crew. Disgraceful.

This proves they are not two side of a shitty coin... the siht is only on the huns side

[Over the Bar]

A crowd of them came to Belfast for a Glentoran match a few years back and decided to walk across the City to attack a Celtic bar armed with Stanley knives.   One innocent punter had his throat slit, thankfully not deeply, and another glassed in the face with loads injured. 

What did the police do? Rounded them up and put neck on the ferry.   That's some deterrent!

Did you actually read that?

[screenexile]

Yes

But please go ahead and tell me how it didn't happen.

[charlieTully]

Yes

But please go ahead and tell me how it didn't happen.

it was september last year, it doesnt say anywhere in it they were dressed in celtic colours, it just says one line of enquiry is that is football related. You are always on here trying to annoy and goad celtic fans, any reason as to why?

[ned]

There's no doubt we have our scummy fans, that can't be denied.
My issue is with blaming the players or fans generally for what happened hours afterwards away from the ground. Those attacks were by thugs, because they are violent twats. Sectarianism, football, players behaviour (no Celtic player did anything wrong by the way), none of that gives reason or excuses the violence.

[6th sam]

Ok. Calling out the overt sectarianism around this fixture is now trolling. Ok. Got it.

I've been to Celtic park
Many times and feel a strong affinity to their Irish and charitable origins.
That said, there are elements of the old firm rivalry which are dangerous and unattractive.
Scott Brown's  interviews are often hilarious and he's proven himself to be a winner , but like all old firm
Players , he has a responsibility not to provoke . It appears There is a man fighting for his life and a family in distress because of injuries incurred related to the old firm yesterday. That's reality. Celtic have much better resources and a much better team and I was delighted with the win, but Scott Brown's behaviour yesterday left a lot to be desired .
I'm absolutely delighted for Neil Lennon particularly, but Brown should remember that Neil and others have suffered enormously as a result of sectarianism, and I hope all of us genuine Celtic fans are big enough to analyse Scott Brown's behaviour yestersday, and though it's hard not to have a laugh and enjoy his goading of our rivals, we must be big enough to admit that it's not what Celtic is.about , as an institution .

That's pathetic. Brown is in no way responsible for what went on in town yesterday.
If some maniac wants to knife someone it wasn't because of what Brown did.
Gerrard's comment after the game about Halliday wanting to "protect his own people " was more dangerous.

Would agree totally re Gerrard's Comments and also thought his reaction to the sectarianism directed at Neil Lennon was begrudging at best. He's well paid as manager of a club that has loads of sectarian baggage, he needs to realise , as do all professionals involved that they have a responsibility to be aware of how their actions are perceived. As a Celtic fan i'd Prefer to see our players especially our captain being competitive in Europe rather than gloating over a narrow victory over a very average team. Unfortunately sledging and provocation is part of the game , but we don't all have to like it , even when it's coming from our own.
Tbf It was wrong to put Scott's actions in the same paragraph as the city centre incident , and Scott is in no way to blame for that incident. However I feel that there are elements of Celtic/Rangers rivalry which are ugly , and I'd love to see Celtic get beyond that nonsense.
European nights in Celtic park , beating Barcelona for example, is what makes Celtic great and that worldwide respect dwarfs our local rivals. Beating a "gather-up" with a late goal and allegedly celebrating in front of their fans doesn't float my boat.
