Yes wrong song for the second one sorry - it was "Dublin in the green.....something about the queen and her sons...featured quite a bit against Valencia......now I do think it is bigorty when the Govan crew say the same about the Pope
I see a lot of the hatred and still waiting for the reconciliation - we should be above all that and leave it to those across the city.

It takes generations mate. Look at south Africa still coming to terms with apartheid. Did you think it would happen over night.
Betty Windsor and her family are a completely different debate, maybe one night I'll crack a bottle of malt mate and we can get our teeth into that quagmire, good talking with you Dagurney, we can't all agree on everything on this forum or it would be shite, but we can agree to differ.

A small but nonetheless historic moment in Celtic history occurred on the evening of April 10th 1995 in a small field in the tiny Donegal townland of Mullachdubh, in the beautiful Rosses region.
Hundreds of people from across the Celtic heartland that is Donegal gathered to witness members of the Rosses CSC cut a sod of turf to be laid in the centre circle of the newly revamped Celtic Park. Local Fife and drum bands marched to the field accompanied by hundreds of Celtic fans and the local parish priest who blessed the turf.
The sod of Donegal earth then travelled with 50 supporters from Gweedore and the Rosses on a bus to Glasgow. To ensure the sod made it to Parkhead in good health the grass was watered in Larne. The party was met at Celtic Park by Fergus McCann, along with Donegal’s own Packie Bonner and other Celtic Officials.
The Sod was carried through the corridors of Celtic Park, down the tunnel and onto the new playing arena. Once at the centre circle a simple but poignant service was held and the turf planted in the heart of Celtic Park.
This ceremony echoed one which took place back in 1892. Then Irish patriot Michael Davitt laid a piece of shamrock sprinkled turf in the centre spot of Celtic Park to mark the opening of the ground at its present site.

I think the point I was making, and I fully understand the history, is that singing these outdated songs publicly, makes us look and sound like the very mob we despise, because of their intolerance. There are great new celtic songs that the fans and the players love. We don't forget our history but we have to recognise that times have moved on, and we have to move on with it.

Gives all and sundry the ammunition and opportunity to lump us in with that lot TGS.
Also imagine trying to entice a top manager to come in and take over then he hears our fans chanting about how we want our previous manager to be killed in his sleep by the IRA.
Do these fucking idiots realise the harm they're doing to the club? Do they even care?
HH mate.

Not the time for Rhetoric. Damien ?Damien Duff: "I'd swim over to work for Celtic" These are the type of people you want in and around the club
Pity you never took swimming lessons as a player, just do the job you are paid to do. Suffered enoughh bullshit.

Sorry l don't live in the past. But you have to educate where people came from and understand history to take them forward that's the point am making anyone that forgets the past repeats the same mistakes.

I agree with you but it needs to be taught in a constructive way not shouted/ sung with venom - education is of course the key for both sides and if a wean sees their parents being tolerant (yes even of idiots) and explaining despite what was done in the past we forgive and move on then we are building a better society.
