    ————————————————————————-

     

    Let’s try and bring about some semblance from within before trying to change your God forsaken capitalist world.

     

    One battle at a time.

    —————————–

     

    You concurred, thinking anything original as that is way beyond your capabilities.

  3. Totally agree with BR about the fantastic attendance .

     

     

    HH to all, and especially to those who made the effort last night.

    Just saw the two controversial banners from the game last night – a disgrace!

     

     

    ===================================================================

     

     

    Thanks , Scully .

     

    Needed to see for myself.

     

    Come on , Peter . Do your duty .

     

    Protect Celtic from the wreckers .

  7. The last para of Herald article is interesting.

     

     

    Suggesting behaviour fell under the OBF bill.

     

     

    How can folk argue so strongly against that bill, which I fully support removing fom statute books yet provide those wishing to keep it so much justification for doing so?

     

     

    That just makes it stupidly short sighted.

  8. Marrakesh Express on

    I sit right next to the away dugout and as is usually the case for CL games l was in amongst the Linfield coaches and physios. For the first twenty minutes they hardly watched the action, mostly taking in the GB spectacle. The young subs were laughing and pointing toward them with that look of amazement, having probably never experienced anything like it before. When the rebel songs got cranked up to levels I’ve not heard in twenty years, you could sense their feeling of intimidation, but in the main this would be a stress free night for Linfield’s staff, with little or no harrassment. Somehow I can’t imagine a similar scenario over by if Shamrock Rovers pitched up.

  9. The Herlad just evenin’ up the score………………….

     

     

    Their Oranj Ordure piece created a bit of a stink…………………….

     

    but, their narrative is conveniently and comfortably……………. forever…

     

    “Wans as bad as the ither”

     

     

    Aye.

     

     

    Shameful.

     

     

     

    However, why give thum the…… *cough*……… ammo…………….?

     

    Why don’t we pick off our targets with a little more care and a bit more cunning?

  10. WHAT IS THE STARS on 19TH JULY 2017 9:57 PM

     

    They usually get fed up after a few weeks fighting with everyone .eventually run out of ways to prove their uber timmery.

     

     

    WITS, that’s true but it happens much sooner if people would just stop answering him. Trolls feed on getting a response – don’t engage at all, on any level. Just smirk, snigger and totally ignore. Job done!

  11. The Inane Rambler on

    Nice start to the season. Possible banana skin avoided. This tie always had the potential to embarrass on or off the park. Onwards to Rosenberg, who’ll be no pushover.

     

     

    We’re creating lots of chances. A wee bit rusty in front if goal and yer man Carroll has already had his season high game.

     

     

    New guys looking promising.

     

     

    Tying scarves and naughty banners? Silly, though not a huge drama. No need to repeat either again this season.

  12. Lol, I honestly don’t see why people are surprised at the usual bampottery from the GB , next up will be the backing up from the CT, then from the GB representatives (no names of leadership of course) they will never go away from they’r agenda, keep an eye out for another Match the fine, or a food drive (all to make them look good) it’s in they’r DNA, i’v said it for years, it’s not all the GB it’s the leaders (the Uni Mob) all they want is publicity.

     

     

    More of my season ticket money gone on paying another stupid redundant idea from some clown who thinks he/they are political geniuses, the irony of it all is it’s not done just off the cuff, believe it or not, they have meetings about this, that’s the scary thing, dullards.

     

     

    Again, that’s only my opinion, and I didn’t need a meeting .

  13. The Terracing troll(s) are not tims but hun(s) with an agenda.

     

     

    Faux voices with fake accents from an imaginary past and access to Celtic Wiki.

     

     

    The Jimmy Cricket’s o’ Janefield Street…………

     

     

    ;)

     

     

    Good for a laugh.

     

     

    HHH.

    Saw your brother Tam on TV yesterday, Las Vegas.

     

    He looked a lot more cheery than you are:)

     

    Im putting you forward for admittance to the GB, you will love it:)

     

     

    HH

  15. …and leaving aside the serious social issues self evident with some of the night time crew……

     

    …..this Dear Green Place is beset with recurring and repetitive trolling under a couple of guises but with the one objective…disrupt the blog and dissipate Celtic Supporter influence.

     

     

    Not the negatonians or the grummlers……….they are tims…but the Jimmy Cricket turns…

     

    ….. with their sleekit routines.

     

     

    Drop the curtain on thum!

     

     

    Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaruuuuuuuuuuuuumph. CSC

  16. northeast ghirl on

    Don’t get the moaning ‘re the banners. The Scottish media are hypocrites, Orange marches with children barely out of nappies taking over Glasgow and other parts of Scotland wearing what I would describe as military style clothing. Celtic fans once again an excuse to hide real stories in Scottish football by the press. Scotland will never move on if our fans continually give the msm oxygen to their petty stories.

    Northeast Ghirl

     

     

    The Scuddish Meeja are worse than hypocrites, they are churnalists.

     

    Huns with crayons.

     

    What can you expect from morons.

     

    Lets see how much they have to say, when the Celts thrash them again this season:)

     

    That should be fun:).

    Auldheid/Tony,

     

     

    How true.

     

     

    Surely now the Anti OBAF campaigners will be out in force, condemning those who blatantly undermine the campaign to repeal the Act.

     

     

    You are correct, Tony.

     

    It is not about Celtic, or football with them.

     

     

    They strive to be edgy, notorious and the centre of attention.

     

     

    Armchair warriors.

     

     

    Celtic should bite the bullet and get rid of them, especially the eejit with the drum!

  19. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    THOMTHETIM

     

     

    If Celtic ‘Get rid of’ the GB, where will the atmosphere come from…..Pensioners?

     

    So, somebody had a ‘banner’ you dont approve of, but at least the GB didnt throw any bottles at Linfield players, did they?

     

    I hardly think a banner represents the antagonism between them and us.

     

    Maybe Linfield should have brought a marching flute band with them.

     

    The GB are ultras, fanatical about Celtic.

     

    What more do you want?

  20. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on 20th July 2017 9:28 am

     

     

    I love the atmosphere generated by the GB but I question the sense of blackmail that goes with – tolerate the extreme political stuff or else. Can we not move on? Yes, remember our past and cherish it, but there is a time and place and it is not a football match. I live in the North of Ireland and supporting Celtic is part of my life but I don’t want to see such political displays at Celtic games – just how I feel.

  21. My first chance to get online after last night’s game.

     

     

    Thought we were a different class to the Belfast lot. We will have to be far more clinical in our finishing against Rosenborg next week.

     

     

    Thought too that our repetoire was dire. Do those who were chanting for the IRA want us banned from Europe or playing our matches behind closed doors? As for the idiots with the banners, are they the same ones as those who were lighting the flares last season? They seem to be occupying the same area.

  22. On a happier note, good to see the Herald stating unequivocally in the aforementioned article that Rangers died.

     

     

    “Rival fans have disputed the significance of the effigies stunt with some suggesting it was making reference to the Rangers plc liquidation in 2012. . . . . . “

  23. thomthethim for Oscar OK on

    TGM

     

     

    The atmosphere is meant to come from the events on the pitch.

     

    That was how it was done when us pensioners were boys.

     

     

    I want Celtic supported in a manner that doesn’t harm the club. Not much to ask.

     

    Unlike others, we strive to play within the rules, whether we agree with them or not.

     

    If they are wrong, demonstrate where they are wrong.

     

    Breaking rules only brings sanctions and more stringent rules.

     

    I dispute your assertion that the GB are passionate about Celtic.

     

    They are not. They are passionate about themselves and their own agenda.

     

    In fact, they are parasites on the body Celtic.

     

    They have no allegiance to the club or football in general.

     

    How in the name of God did we win 9 I a r without the XFactor audience.

     

     

    Last word. Too much to do to be repeating myself or arguing.

  24. I didn`t watch a great deal of the Rosenborg V Dundalk game but what I did see left me feeling comfortable about our prospects over the upcoming two legs.

    Scullybhoy

     

     

    I respect that, im not saying its ok.

     

    Im just say we should put things in perspective.

     

    There are a lot worse things going on.

     

    Look at the racist abuse Scott Sinclair is subjected to.

     

    Unfortunately, its all political.

     

    If it was down to me, there wouldnt have been ANY Linfield fans at Celtic Park.

     

    People can have opinions, we dont have to agree with them. Cant say i was too thrilled either, however, its nowhere near as bad as the old days.

     

    A few banners we can handle.

  26. TGM

     

    I didn’t see it but yes it was my brother, and yes like myself he is a cheery chap when everything Celtic is all good, as for the G B I have no problem with them as I keep repeating myself, it’s the leadership,they use the young fans to get they’r agenda, and now that the C T are in bed with them ( and have been for a while imo) then it’s all going to end the same way it does every year they bring the political slant that they have and take the enjoyment out of the rest of us who just want to be supporting Celtic in Europe, it’s just a joke, they get the propaganda from the media and in Celtic blogs and that’s them happy again, bunch of attention seekers, bottom line, they’r Ultras, don’t be kidded on, and like all Ultras in Europe, all they do is cause it, and care not a jot about CFC (that would be the nameless leaders of these groups) seems like no one has the credibility to put his or her name to this ongoing ,,,,fine the club agenda, ….kind of along the same lines of the SFA who have spoke to ….the top legal man in this country….strange days indeed.

     

    IMO.

    You are way out of line there, ‘Parasites’

     

    You sound like Mats Nilloch or Mr Pastry or Alfie Noakes, or a hun.

     

    The GB are Celtic supporters, End of.

  28. I notice Bendtner plays for Rosenborg, big guy, dont know how well he is playing at present,do they play direct to him with others supporting for the knock downs.?

    You cant condemn thousands of Celtic supporters like that.

     

    There may be a few who should know better, however, i ask you to remember who we were playing.

     

    I really do think your criticism is way over the top.

     

    They all pay their money to see Celtic, like you do.

     

    In my day, the Jungle was far wilder. You know the songs we sung.

     

    So, most of the GB are kids who live and breathe Celtic, give them a wee break eh.

     

    You speak about the GB as they they are on the rampage or something, the majority back the team with heart and soul, like i did when i was a kid.
