The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

It would have been enough to have the (sniper)  'Rodgers at work' banner to get the message across clear enough and there would be no threat of a Uefa fine.

Actually i agree. Esp as the celtic view had a similar photo a few years ago featuring Paddy McCourt.

Lovely banner with an image of an IRA terrorist at Parkhead tonight - Another fine coming for Celtic?

I'm just wondering if it was Brendan Rodgers or the cartoon skull you were calling a terrorist???

Imagery like that has no place at a football match ffs - Also, I wonder if UEFA will pick up on the sectarian chanting too.

Why is this necessary at a football match?  Got f**k all to do with football.  Pathetic.

Some people have mentioned that the line 'soon there will be no orotestants at all' was sang. I wonder if there's truth in it. Disgraceful if true. Tony you were there, did you hear it.
I'm assuming that's what you're referring to

And why does an image of the manager have no place at football?

"If you hate the orange bastards clap your hands" was clearly audible.  Does that constitue sectarian chanting in your book?  As for your comment relating to the image, act your age ffs.

It's certainly not a nice chant and I would hate to think that it and the protestants one would start to be sung at matches again. And yeah. I'd say it is.
Now, why is a banner of the celtic manager unacceptable at a match?

It constitutes a depressing reality amongst tribal groupings when one side showed zero respect and vile hatred to the opposition from the get go. There is always going to be a reaction sadly. Surely you're not blind to that dynamic? I'm sensing faux outrage if I'm honest. The hatefest started back in Belfast. Id have loved to have seen Celtic fans rise above it cause aping apes only keeps it going

[MoChara]

That banner with the Volunteer is pathetic to be honest just a cheap effort at riling "the other side". What the f**k does Brendan Rodgers or a Football match have to do with the IRA.

I often agree with the expressions of a political opinion at Celtic Park, but only so far as there's a point and a cause behind it.

I have to admit there was sectarian chanting from the green brigade last night.I do wish so called Celtic supporters would not stoop to the same level as bigots like Linfield,even though the provocation was severe.Also I wish the political crap was dispensed with.What has it got to do with Celtic Football Club.

What were they chanting Tony? The no protestants line? Or something else

[screenexile]

Wee Seamie Bwyson has a video of them singing the broad black brimmer . . . It's disappointing you'd expect Celtic to rise above the nonsense of 1500 or so lads from Belfast. The banner was stupidity as well. The supporters talk about being the best fans in Europe but last night's match shows they still have a long way to go!

[T Fearon]

Tonto that line sadly was sung as part of the On the one road song.I know there was provocation in the extreme after the first leg,it's a pity the Celtic fans responded.

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.

Exact same people turn up to watch Are We A Country.

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.

Yeah look it is always the hangers on that you will see the worst from.  The majority stopped at sectarianism and racism.

Not with Linfield. They've a right amount of scumbags that follow them. Home and away. Can't blame that on a few c***ts that latch on every time there's a big game.

Linfield, and Cliftonville, both have the problem of the "2 games a season fans" who rock up to sing sectarian songs at each other.

So when they travel to Portadown and attack a Catholic pub, is that the fault of Cliftonvile? Or when they assault GAA fans in Portadown train station? Also Cliftonville? Linfield are largely supported by scumbags. I've sat in the family section at Windsor and have heard sectarian abuse directed at the opposition management. I've met manys a decent rangers fan but Linfield supporters are a different breed

[general_lee]

Can't be too happy with the GB last night. UEFA will fine and rightfully so. I'm all for creating atmosphere and intimidating the opposition but singing sectarian songs is not the way to do it. Shameful

Stupid stupid stupid. I hope it was only because of the oppositions fans behaviour in Belfast - not that thy makes it ok - and that way of thinking isn't gonna creep back in
