The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

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?

Nobody but the person who did it know. However, some Rangers supporters tied a'doll' to the ibrox gates during their descent to liquidation, some suggestion this is the reasoning for the 'hanging'.

No I don't know he people who done it but I can safely say it wasn't directed at the suicide of Kris Boyd's brother despite what Huns, the media and seemingly some of our own support want you to think

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!!!

As my friend Hugh Jordan, himself a Glaswegian,said yesterday in the Sunday World,there are far too many Celtic "fans"who think owning a season ticket entitles them to do what they like.I said a few weeks ago I wish the political activists etc would stop using our club,which is totally apolitical.They only tarnish the reputation of the club.

Meanwhile this is a Godsend for the Rangers Board.The attention is deflected away from getting a hammering from a mediocre Celtic side as their dimwit fans are outraged by the display of a couple of dummies,the perpetrators of which are too stupid to link it to anything tragic like real life suicide.

Just how do you figure our club is totally apolitical?

Refresh my memory but was Michael Davitt not made an honorary president of Celtic and in fact invited to lay the first sod in the new Celtic park in 1892 ?

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!

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 .
