Celtic Supporters Thread (contains GB chat)

This has obviously been in the pipe line for a while..

The fact that season tickets are sold and we just played our first home game is perfect timing for them..

I honestly don't know where the club can go from here to sort out the bad relations of fans they've disbanded for not a lot in my opinion..

 

This is from 2 years ago. Hasn't happened in ages but it'll all work in the interest of getting rid of the GB

 

Good bye atmosphere. * joke.

 

Statement just released from Celtic

 

How bollocks?

The figures and true attendances were even released last Spring, also for Rangers matches last season as they were doing the same.

Sorry to break this earth-shattering news but this is very old hat now, only the blind or in denial ever tried to argue its "bollocks"

 

Fake attendances were not released, it is complete bollocks to say it was. Only fake attendances released about us were from the BBC.

 

Now watch us penny pinch over signings not qualify for the champions league because of penny pinching and not find any suitable replacements for our best players Bravo board great job and no more green brigade eh ? sounds like celtic football club is really giving back to its loyal fans {not} why would anyone want to pay money in this current economy to go watch a team that sells all its best players that we loved watching bans the supporters who actually make the games fun and get alot of respect around the world for there support and efforts { all be it a few iffy moment } but what club doesnt have iffy moments with fans? - Cant say im looking forward to going to celtic park to see a half empty stadium minus the green brigade

 

Surely they can solve some of the problems such as the broken seats by adding a safe standing section considering Scottish clubs were permitted to create safe standing areas in 2011. - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16248937

Also they have said "We will be happy to continue this dialogue and if the Club were to receive assurances on safety then we may look at this situation again in the future." So hopefully the GB can sort something out.

 

Lawell and co are not stupid, they knew what they were getting. I just don't think they realized how little those fans would conform. The fact is after every incident the papers have reported several meetings have taken place between the board and GB representatives. I have no doubt they were warned on every one of these occasions, but the GB did nothing to police their activities. Now, they have been punished in a near draconian manner, although the truth is they left the club next to no choice.

 

All the praise has gone to their heads. And that * poppy banner was an embarrassment, not just for the * spelling.

If they stuck to the singing and the decent banners then brilliant. I love the atmosphere they create but they are just another reason we'll never play in England, not that i necessarily want to.

Keep the political * for your pubs.

 

Yes its utter rubbish....

This sort of lets the cat out the bag

At the match against Ross County a section of supporters engaged in lateral movement. It may seem to some that lateral movement is not unsafe. As noted above, that view is not shared by the Safety Advisory Group, or the Club. The Stadium is not designed for movement of that sort, leading to an increased risk of falling and injury. The movement led to seats being broken, which also presents a risk of injury. We are sure that supporters will agree that this behaviour is unsafe, particularly where there are young supporters in the area in question.


If we are to accept the argument regarding "movement of that sort" then clearly The Huddle has to be considered "movement" as well, this is simply Celtic hiding behind a solicitor drafted letter in order to justify getting rid of 111 by foul means.

Poor statement!

 

Another one who obviously thinks it's ok for clubs and Scottish football to have political expression, yet not the supporters.

Top man

 

You can bury your head in the sand and forget the fact the GB are breaking rules constantly all you want.. They were given every opportunity.

 

* England, lets not start that debate!

No idea why you single them out as "the reason"

Dont seem to think it was them on the pitch at Brentford, that gave us more bad publicity that the GB ever had to the English eyes!

 

I've seen similar "lateral movement" shake the entire stadium since it was built everytime we scored against the huns or in a European game.

In fact, I'd say that was for more "dangerous".

 

Some people will just listen to anything the board tells them. If you believe this is to do with health and safety you're wired to the moon.

 

No lateral movement means moving out into the stairwell and blocking exits.. Again this is not a rule celtic have made up... it's been made by health and safety.

 

190 seats broke in 4 games my * *. Im in 111. And I never seen one!

 

This is the part that stood out most to me but I feel I may be clutching at straws
