The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[STREET FIGHTER]

Will someone tell me why the name of Celtic FC has to be dragged into political conflicts or issues even at home or abroad.I doubt if the club or its owners (Billionaire Dermot Desmond or Tory Lord Livingstone) even privately as individuals have the remotest sympathies with any of the sides involved,so you can be sure there is no official endorsement,so that means it is sections of the support that are hijacking the club for political purposes.

Unbelievable attention seeker.....surely you had something else in life......

If you think the club and fans are a representation of the private thoughts of Dermot Desmond and the current (temporary) owners of this great club then you really don't know much about what the club is all about!

There is a disconnect between the club in terms of its owners and supporters some of whom think that Brother Walfrid is still in charge and do not realise it is now a multi million pound commercial entity run by Tory Lords and Captains of Industry.

While I am all for respecting heritage and roots I do not believe sport and politics should mix.Celtic FC is now solely a football club with a global fan base the majority of whom have no time for the relatively few who spread political messages at games about injustice etc while at the same time worshipping players and managers taking home 5 figure weekly wage packages

I have no problem with people venting political views but they shouldn't be using a football club to do so.The only thing they do is land the club into trouble with UEFA.

Meanwhile those getting excited about a couple of decent wins in Scotland (not overly convincing either) helped by players with multi million pound transfer fees,might like to reflect that a guy playing for Cliftonville in the Irish league two years ago is currently the leading scorer in the SPL by a distance.

Big test on Tuesday night as Hapoel will give it a real go knowing full well that the manager's cavalier attitude will make the route to goal easier for them.An early goal for the home side will pose a severe test.

Wind your neck in you clown, why would you bring an employer into a discussion about a football team, wise up and how many times have you been on the internet when employed by someone, if it is once you are being a hypocrite.

The two biggest leaders in this board are Fearon and O'Neill, Tony is winding and laughing his area of at your expense.

I'm not talking about what he's posting on this thread specifically I'm talking about what he posts in general.  We are constantly telling young people to be careful  about they post on social media as employers and potential employers now look at social media sites like FB etc to build profiles of job applicants yet this guy seems confident to post what he wants, when he wants and I don't see that as being right.

You are just indulging in indignation provoked by a troll.
Ignore the troll.
ignore Stew too

cough up a few quid main street. sometimes a fine is worth it for the right thing. Flying the flag of Palestine should not be deemed an illicit banner irrespective of what UEFA say. No issue with a tricolour, the star of David, the saltire, the union jack or red hand of ulster flags so why a Palestinian flag, a country recognised by the UN.
