ballwinningcentrehalf Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well there goes the theory the club has been supporting and encouraging everything the GB do. They've wanted the Green Brigade disbanded for a long time. But really.. Another Celtic thread? Just gives the same old people a chance to post their pathetic, biased bile.

BRISTOL86 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hilarious, but ANOTHER thread about Scottish football? They're going to start to think we actually care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 AFAICS, it was closed because of fans standing up, something that would never happen at the Gate Having said which, I have no time for sectarianism in football, whichever foot it is most comfortable with.

East End Old Boy Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I guess they came to their decision to close due to the fearsome debating on OTIB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on good authority it was entirely due to the collection of random Irish Republican pictures one user put the effort into collating on that other thread.

Flaxbourton Red Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hate their politics - but this just highlights the failure of all seated stadia as the nanny state steps into protect those that do not need any protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miah Dennehy Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I was at the Cliftonville game, and it was a great atmosphere. Fireworks at a football ground are obviously not a clever idea, but the banning of 'lateral movement' is pathetic, I sit at the opposite end to the ground from the Green Brigade and it looked brilliant. Celtic have blamed presuure from UEFA, I would have hoped that UEFA would have more important things to worry about that fans jumping from side to side and having a good time. Depressing.

GodEmperor Palpatine Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 'Body surfing' haha. But on a serious note isn't this just UEFA clamping down on Celtic with their other misdemeanours in Europe as well? The club are just trying to keep them happy without the threat of playing a European game behind closed doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 And whats funny is UEFA don't give a flying tit about Celtic fans safety, this is an ass covering exercise in the tiny case it may collapse and kill fans. No brainer really all the UEFA structural engineer had to do was 'hint' at the possibility. Yeps that'll do, this is an personal attack at the Club. Celtic fans are going ape shi+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a slightly different note, I see Walter Smith has resigned from Rangers after the latest bout of in fighting. Sad day for Glasgow football, much as I dislike Rangers as a team, Walter Smith is a decent man, and just the sort of bloke who should be on their board.

Can't see McCoist lasting long as manager now with Walter Smith gone and especially with Charles Green being reappointed to the board or is he now the financial consultant? In any event he had some damning words for the manager and playing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 They're even allowed to stand up at CRICKET matches now but not, alas, at football Constant complaint of mine. We supposedly have the same law for all in this country, but no.You can stand to watch, with a beer in your hand at first class cricket & rugby matches, but not football. Is that because they are "elitist" sports? They even stand in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot!My son lived in Huddersfield for a few years. Go to the Galpharm to watch the Giants and you can stand, drink and banter with the stewards. Go a few days later when Town are playing and those same stewards make you sit down, alcohol is banned and they are no longer pleasant jokey types.Someone will prob now post that we football fans have brought this state of affairs on ourselves.......

ballwinningcentrehalf Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I think you just did exactly that! Ha, made me chuckle. Apart from the fact I am far more willing than the average fan to criticise the club and members of the fan base when it's merited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
