Hats off to Killie
I've lived there too but live in the East now. We'll just have to differ. I was hoping that my post implied that, having heard the lyrics in full recently, I also found them disgusting. The danger in joining in a thread like this is that inevitably people try to read into your words that you are one side of the fence or the other. Back in the days of fanzines I remember issues from both sides of the OF being passed around at work, and seeing how zealous they both are in their propaganda. Both sides can reel off lists of so-called injustices and conspiracies. Only last week there was one who rang Traynor and his whole case was based on an incident involving a ref back in the 1960s. They both claim the moral high ground but one's as bad as the other. It's a game of fitba. naw i'm certainly not saying you are in favour of one or the other and like yourself i read their fanzines and thought they were funny because all they do is potray themselves as the poor wee victim

Hats off to Killie
i've just read the words of the song and they are disgusting IMO, would these people sing about the famine in Ethiopia or The Congo and get away with it. what happened to one Scotland many cultures? is just the Irish or is just because these people think they Mantis since i live in the west of Scotland i know a helluva lot of tims and never have i heard ANY of them seem desperate to tell me they're not scottish. just for the record the words are not true, the Irish were not welcomed in Glasgow. if they were then Celtic would probaly have not been formed.

Walter Smith loses his cool
is this the same man who won the CIS cup last season because of dodgy refereeing? did Barry Ferguson not touch the ball with his hand on his way to goal? did his team not gain when the linesman ruled offside against Dundee utd when it was a mile ONSIDE? and he and his team have had more than their fair share of dodgy penalty kicks from referees over the years as well as goals which were a mile offside. to name a linesman in the press is a disgrace, we have had more decisions agianst us than his mob but do you see Brewster running to the tele and naming the officals who are paid a pittance for the work they do and abuse they get from ALL the fans especialy his team and celtic i think he should have kept his big mouth shut imo

Johansson to Hibs
aye he's a great player, this is a great move for the hibees imo

Mark Brown
His current managerial team don't believe in him otherwise they would not have sought out the american. if that was the case the american would have played last night but he never Mark was in goal last night as well as the weekend and the American wasn't even on the bench, it was a guy called Fox. Am i right in saying he played against us recently in a reserve game? so that Makes Mark no2 choice Fox no3 and the American No4 (if he has signed)

Lest we forget...
here here my man........... however as long as we try to remember other people have different views

Lest we forget...
That came through quiet and clear on the radio today. well done to both sets of supporters. unlike elsewhere where a minute's applause had to be observed to drown out those who would disrupt it. Well maybe things are not so clear cut, and maybe some among that support would have little cause to celebrate the memory of lost British soldiers, who until very recently had been considered an occupying, enemy force. We no doubt all have relatives who have died in wars, and we honour them, but other people's experiences are not necessarily the same as ours. And of course half of Glasgow's citizens dont have relatives who died in war. And no soldier of the Irish Rifles was killed either. This rememberance is about reflecting on those who fought to protect the Islands of Britian and Ireland and should have nothing to do with anything else. quite wrong today was all about remembering the fallen of ALL conflicts where british service men and women have paid the ultimate sacrafice for you and i as well as the rest of our nation. these conflicts include Ireland north and south where the british forces were saw by most of the nation as invaders from across the Irish sea. Thousands of Celtic supporters come from all over Ireland every week to watch their team and many have people who died in that conflict. now ask yourself this Would you wear the Easter lily to commerate the fallen Irish men and women of 1916? if not then why ask them to wear our poppy?

Red or Black?
we'll be staying up so we're not getting that windfall............

Poppies this Saturday.
It may be interesting to see how this goes down at Celtic Park on Saturday, given the strong Irish links of a large slice of the Celtic support. Antipathy towards the British military establishment on the part of those of an Irish persuasion is, fortunately, receding but has deep historical roots. For instance it was the British Army which put down the 1916 Easter rising with considerable force and which played a large part in its aftermath which in turn led to the War of Independence in the early 20s. The Black and Tans etc from that period were also recruited from ex British World War 1 soldiers. Responsible for, among other things, the Croke Park Massacre, they were hated by the Irish. Indeed the Gaelic Athletic Association (hurling, Gaelic football etc) for decades discouraged its clubs from competing against representatives of the British forces or police and the GAA also for a time banned "British" activities such as rugby. (Now thankfully the Irish play rugby internationals at Croke Park while Lansdowne Road is being redeveloped.) In World War 2 the Irish Free State maintained complete neutrality and rebuffed an attempt by Winston Churchill to get them involved. Then, of course, there was the role of the British Army in post 1969 Northern Ireland with Bloody Sunday etc. It therefore wouldn't surprise me if at least some people with a (non unionist) Irish background didn't have a great deal of sympathy for anything relating to the British Military, irrespective of how fundamentally worthwhile it is. I read this evening that the Irish celtic supporters association are not too happy with the poppy on the celtic shirts and have released a statment saying so, they were saying a lot of their members have negative views of the british army's operations in Ireland and some lost family or friends as a result

David Murray puts his foot in it
David Murray has apologised to both teams and stated that his comments were taken out of context by the press. Sorry to take the wind out of your sails but at no time did he refer to bigotry, just the abuse levied by both sets of fans at each other on internet forums. bigotry? sorry the word i was looking for was sectarian, appolagies.......... :018: Thread title says bigotry, here to help. sorted now...... ;)

can we survive this season
Can we survive this season and stay in the SPL? let's face it, if hamilton wern't so bad we would be in deep trouble but if they sign better players than us in January then we could be up the creek without a paddle. i had high hopes at the start of this season after we beat Aberdeen thoughts please folks
