Thanks for contributing to it. Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that the booing of Shinnie was light hearted and maybe it was. Not sure what type of person thinks that chanting 'Miles Storey is a paedo' is not distasteful though.

Charles Bannerman gives the young team a talking to

Are we talking about the same guys who,at the Aberdeen home game last season,when the pie shop went up in smoke,had the whole North Stand going and out sung and chanted out the away end. That was good atmospere . Best chant was a take on Sheep are on fire when the smoke came across the pitch. More of that without the nasties is what the stadium needs.

I generally have a lot of respect for the young guys and the atmosphere they bring to the games. I for one salute you when your all in fine voice and drumming and I really feel its something that was lacking from the games previously, however I was at the Aberdeen game and there was a small minority of the group at the front who were giving the fingers and W*nkers motions to the Dons fans on both sides, as well as shouting obscenities and behaving in a threatening manner. To me, that does NOT justify creating an atmosphere, that is purely thuggish behaviour which does nothing to promote the team they are supposedly there to support. Most of the guys I seen, and a few of them I was getting a good laugh with on way home, were very well behaved. There is no excuse to act in a threatening manner towards opposing fans in the name of support. Also on the way out, the ones who decided it would be a good show of support to overthrow the barriers did nothing but create fear and alarm to the CALEY fans given where we all were, and I've got to be frank here, I was with my 7 year old son, and one of these boys threw a barrier just in front of us, and I swear, if that had hit my son, the boy responsible would have gone home with a very sore face

I don't see what the 70's has to do with this discussion. Sure football hooliganism was a lot worse then but that doesn't make the lesser level of hooliganism now OK. Cable Guy has it spot on and it is unfortunate that some of the youngsters cannot distinguish between good vocal support for your team and being threatening and/or offensive to the opposition and their supporters. You do not need to be offensive to create an atmosphere. In fact you absolutely need not to be offensive in order to create a good atmosphere. The picture of the young lad "flipping the birdie" ictfcsince94 posted is an appalling example of how the behaviour at football matches still remains at gutter level in some quarters. I absolutely agree with nopyronoparty94 that the lack of any sort of vocal support from some of our older supporters is pathetic, but what he doesn't seem to understand is that the more subdued supporters are much more likely to join in with any vocal support if the singing and accompanying behaviour is not offensive. He also seems to miss the point that offensive behaviour actually keeps a lot of potential supporters from going to games in the first place. I'm no fan of Rugby as a game but boy can we learn a lot from them about creating a proper atmosphere. Go to any of the home internationals and you will experience an electric atmosphere with both sets of supporters singing their hearts out and cheering their teams on. Not only is there an absence of being offensive to each other, there is no segregation of the fans who, as a result enjoy a lot of good humoured banter at the game, followed by a drink or ten after the game. In terms of creating a good atmosphere we are a million miles away from that. The singing of the young lads at TCS is really welcome in developing a decent atmosphere, but as soon as the exuberance gives way to abusive songs and behaviour which is or is perceived by others to be threatening, then all the good the singing does is more than undone. As for the booing of Shinnie when he went off injured, well, words fail me. Shinnie gave brilliant service to this club and gave us lots of excitement over the years. He had every right to move to a club that could pay him more and he deserves our continuing respect. Is it any wonder more people don't attend matches when we get our own so called supporters showing such disrespect to the very players who have done so much to make the club what it is today?

I have to admit when the boo-ing of Shinnie started I let out a great big BOO ! Possibly the loudest one. A split second later I did wonder what I was doing and started laughing. Definitely a spur of the moment fun thing to do on my part. All this carry on with the young team though I feel is getting blown out of proportion. The stewards were to blame from everything I was observing, Even half of the stewards were very young themselves. There was hardly a crowd disturbance of any magnitude to merit such stewarding. It didn't stop me enjoying the game, it was 5 mins worth of handbags, get over it everybody. I am not young!

Evident their minds were on Sunday before their match even kicked off last night. I predict a 3-1 victory for us.

A rendition of Barcelona and the Magnificent Seven should be sufficient to wind them up.

Mmmmmm can anyone remember the 70's ? I mean 1970's Would be like a cemetery without the yoof. And they create an atmosphere whereas I am more annoyed by adults who have a "go" as the players but keep deadly silent otherwise!!

I trust the "94" isn't a reference to your year of birth, since your rather simplistic conception of what constitutes football support would seem to indicate the maturity level of an adolescent far below the age of 22.

I'm actually quite optimistic that we could have half a chance here, as long as we play like we have at the back and have more pace and belief up front and play Doumbouya or Sutherland (doubtful) up front instead of Fisher. Its sensible to think that Celtic will come ready to make amends and justify their position in the league, however they may not be in a physical or mental position to have any influence on that. Its going to have been a terribly long draining week for them all, now made all the harder by having to make that nightmare journey up the heavily congested and slow A9 late on Sunday, to play a team I'm sure by their admissions they could see far enough after the midweek falterings. If we play our game smart, keep it tight at the back, and sharpen up the balls into the box plus getting Mulraney back onto the wings, and take the chances that we create for ourselves....I genuinely see no reason why we cant provide the weekends biggest football shock headlines. I think we also need to drop Polworth for this game, and go back to playing King and Mulraney on the wings with Draper and Tansey in the middle, with Vigurs behind the striker. MacKay also needs to start again, thought he was great on Saturday.

We might need to pull back the celtic players like we did in that semi final. Any chance of getting that lady celtic fan to the game to see if she has forgiven us yet....

The biggest shock was that Celtic lost a game and didn't blame the ref!

Also, just noticed, in National League, Liam Hughes scored last night (13 Sep) for Barrow, in a 4-1 away win at Southport

The result was unsurprising in some ways as Celtic although a better team than last few seasons with more potent attacking threat, the back line has been a weak link since Van Dijk left. Hopefully we can play with a solid back 4 and central midfield and use our wingers pace to try get balls in the box and exploit the weaknesses. I think its worth having a go at them, we may score and get picked off into a thumping but better than sitting in and still loosing 1 or 2 nil. No guts no glory.

Tobi Sho-Silva scored for Bromley tonight (13 Sep) in 2-0 away win at Maidstone

What, trying to damage property and shouting unnecessary abuse at members of the public and rival fans to goad them into fighting............perhaps not, or are you going to deny that this went on outside the ground? If that's your idea of creating an atmosphere then you are going about it all wrong!!

These wee boys are a joke ,watched football factory and begged mummy for a stone island jumper from Santa and suddenly they're football hooligans !

Does your mummy know you've been posting your passport photo online?

**** Off! We generally have the worst fans in the Scotland! You do realise we get slated from other teams when we sit in silence? ohh! but its fine! we get praised from you boring twats for 'behaving' and when we do get an atmosphere we get praised by other fans but slated by our own fans!? You's all continue to sit in silence like boring ********, its like a ******* cemetery in our stands! Until it changes We will continue to do what we want to do. Without us home games are *****, You do what you want and sit like a miserable ******* talking ***** and munching into a pies for the whole game. Mon Slate us all you want! but you can't stop us doing what we want to do.
