    that's like saying "I go to games to watch CELTIC and listen to fans sing CELTIC songs. Why the * do people sing JCGE"?

    You shouldn't give a * about what other fans are saying and doing if you there to watch a game of football

    You should ask the Green Brigade members that, im pretty sure they had the special branch turn up at their work and could be wrong about this.... had their work sacked I might be wrong!

    I don't think the whole support should revolve around me. I have accepted that others will continue to sing the songs, in fact here is the quote of me saying so.

    Exactly, it's actually ridiculous how much people care about the opinions of others....

    Get over it? It hasn't stopped me supporting the team as I'm not really that bothered. I would just rather not see it.

    This is a forum, aren't we all allowed an opinion? I'm not trying to change anyone else's opinions, just merely stating my own.

    Okay fair enough, what about Scottish rebel displays and Scottish rebel songs? do you not want to see that at games?

    Too many people on this forum think that if you disagree with them it means they aren't allowed an opinion. Everyone is allowed an opinion. That means people can disagree with you too.

    I agree mate, as I said - I was just playing devils advocate. I think some people are getting a rough time on here.

    I appreciate the variety of fans at Celtic, heaven forbid we became a homogenised brand.

    Are you a member of the Green Brigade:97:? Genuine question.

    I am using the letter "I" because I am stating my opinion, I have not claimed to represent the opinion of majority of Celtic fans.

    I am not particularly bothered about people assuming I am pro IRA as I will just tell them otherwise. I am just meaning in general with because I am a Celtic fan I am constantly seeing things about the IRA, I would prefer if it stopped but as I have said I don't see it stopping anytime soon.

    No. It hasn't been suggested it does.

    But the statement from the club is frightening. Our founding fathers, including Brother Walfrid, would be banned for life. Doesn't sit right with me, and * this 'reputation' if it means conducting policies such as this.

    You don't want politics at our club...Fine. But there is a large percentage of club's support that feel this is part of our identity. This political debate should be conducted between us, as fans ...Not forced by the club board. & lets be honest that's all they are...the 90s showed that.

    Our identity is far more important than reputation.

    Yes we have had Irish Republicans in our clubs history. I don't understand what you mean by the Irish Catholics and assuming it to have a baggage of Irish Republicanism.

    If the culture and politics of the club's support is banned, then we may as well draw a cartoon leprechaun on the badge and call ourselves the Glasgow Celtics. We will be just another club.

    Lawwell must go.

    Are the anti-IRA fans just against the Provos or are they against the 1920s IRA who were the actual armed forces of the government too? Would this song be acceptable to them?

    If Celtic was just about the football I doubt we'd be so popular throughout the world.
