    Clowns like him is the reason this club is special and loved worldwide I honestly couldn't give a rats how much they fine us the more the merrier because it will generate more exposure and help put pressure on Israel to stop Killing.






    On a side note if the tri-colour was banded would it be any different to you

    See tbh, I'd gladly take a fine for this.

    Celtic has always had a political aspect to the support. If * want to change us into Glasgow Hibernian or Glasgow Green and white socks they can get tae *.

    What rules are those exactly? Palestine is a nation, not a proscribed organisation. National flags are allowed by UEFA. National flags of participants in that particular conflict aren't even banned by UEFA (as witnessed by the lack of fines at Ajax and Spurs for flying Israeli flags). What specific rule does flying the Palestinian flag break other than UEFA being able to censor anything they want without needing to give a reason?

    And so I repeat my questions: are you arguing that UEFA have the same right to arbitrarily censor football fans attending matches as they do to define and enforce the rules under which players sit out suspensions? Are you arguing that we have no right to raise issues of morality and fairness because it's UEFA's competition and they can do whatever the * they want?

    It seems to me that this is what you are arguing.

    On that basis you won't have a problem being punished for trolling this forum then, will you?

    Palestinian people seeing these flags, marches and demonstrations in support of them helps them to feel the world hasn't abandoned them.

    I'm not saying I disagree with waving the flags, or that we should be punished. I do genuinely disagree with the whole thing. But I seriously do not believe its worth the hassle.

    No I am not arguing that, as I do not agree that they do.

    Would rather be a clown and have voice on the subject than a mug who will follow the sheep because they tell you what to think.

    It's clowns like us who have been supporting Celtic since it's inception so you can politely * off.

    I do not disagree with Celtic fans waving Palestine flags. We have the best fans in the world and I am a firm believer of that. However, in a UEFA competition where it is banned to wave the flags, I think it makes sense to simply not take them. You go to the game to watch a game of football, does it really make any difference to anyone if you can't wave a certain flag at the game? My point is UEFA made rules and we disobeyed them. I don't think its right but I can understand why they have and I find it utterly pointless going against them.

    You called 'fans like us' 'clowns'. No point back-tracking now.
