Green brigade banner today an embarrassment

Ha no doubt....because there is a time and place for these sorts of thing....just personally don’t think it should be at a footie stadium.

I actually don’t sit too far from the GB, they are abso brilliant, just frustrate me with wee things like this 🤷🏻‍♂️
We have a board who really don't give a ffff about anybody or anything that doesn't make money Lord Livingstone who voted for and backed Tory Bedroom Tax. Brian Wilson ex Labour MP who voted against giving staff Min Living Wage and receives Thousands a year in his part time position Ian Bankier who attends functions and Garden Parties with Tory leaders so pls don't try to tell me politics and football don't mix All three people do not agree or don't want to.run or club in the ethos it was started for GB are correct with there banner regarding Rod Stewart people are judged by there actions and GB will be remembered more for standing up for Injustice and Intolerance and helping people

A lot of truth in what you say.

But and its a big but

the style of the out put doesn't help their fight for justice if its not understood

If it just comes across as expletives and feck the system with symptoms of anarchy and division then imo its counter productive.

Justice cannot be served by tarring all conservative rational as evil

The lack of communication from board is the problem

The lack of communication from GB is equally a problem if its bedlam they offer

Im no saying thats what GB offer, I just dont understand some of the vitriolic banners

And it seems to me they are just as big a problem with their recent soviet style leanings

History suggests that Soviet system is the worst form of government ever attempted

Hence a sniff of soviet style opposition turns the central belt fascist

Some of the banners by GB are not Celtic minded

imo anyway

I understand the hatred of tory governments

I dont understand anyone demanding singer feck off when they clearly dont understand that Stewart is a different kind of Celtic fan with love of Jacobite cause. Not my cup of tea. Just like my catholic views are not other peoples cup of tea. Just like some celtic fans dont think GB anarchistic leaning are Celtic minded.

Celtic isn't the board
Celtic isn't the GB
Celtic isn't catholic
Celtic isn't Irish
Celtic is open to all types of politics and craic and philosophy

When one section think they can dictate the politics of Celtic

It is no longer Celtic

I love GB at times
I dont have clue wtf they are on about at others
And I dont like their way of expressing their opinions at other times

Putting up offensive banners is not on
Just like making offensive gestures to away fans is poor show by certain football players

Emotions can run high but when emotions override reason and communication is the victim then nothing good can happen.

Who anybody in crowd vote for is none of celtic fans business

You aint a Celtic fan if you think your brand of politics is the only option

I dont like tory mindset
But I accept its their vote and opinion not mine

if GB cant stick to positive political message banners then why do they think that represents Celtic

Do they think they can hijack history to suit a certain paradigm

I can assure you brother walfrid was no Soviet style anarchist

Neither was the easter uprising in Ireland

So when did anarchy seep into celtic politics?

Are they trying to make Celtic look like political extremists?
 
I recently found out that Tory was whig term for Outlaw, bandit, on the run

And it was name used by planters for the disposed in Ireland


Strange that it means opposite these days

Just like unionists hate everyone and love division

And rebels were the ones fighting on side of the King against the republican forces of Orange



the people of south armagh were traditionally the tories and the orangemen the opposite of tory


Seems to have had a switcheroo somewhere in history

Covenanters of Scotland and puritans of England were anti royalist parliamentarians and were ERepublicans

But the orangemen claim to be loyalist to the king

thats contrary to their love of Cromwell and their oath of allegiance to the covenant to kill catholics

So modern use of tory is opposite of what it used to mean

the dispossessed were the Toraigh bar stewards of Ireland and the starved them whenever they got the chance

As usual TET , bang on point
 
‘If you hate the fucking tories clap your hands’ this was the loudest chant from the stadium last night. This is what Celtic stands for! Rebels against the evil and corrupt conservative system. We won’t conform to a mind set that thinks it completely fine for the rich to get richer and the poor and hungry stay in the gutter. We the fans are what make Celtic and the Majority totally accept and agree with telling the tories to go fuck themselves. Well done the Green Brigade!
 
The tory proclamation was not the problem

It was the offensive gesture to a celebrity fan, who just so happens to be rich.

Singing about hating tories is one thing.

Telling a fan they are not a fan if they dont agree with hating tories is quite another.

I have no idea if Stewart or the other Tory fans of club are philanthropic win their own way.

Who they vote for is their business.

Has nought to do with Celtic.

Holding up a banner to tell a fan to feck off is not Celtic minded

Telling them their politics is not your cup of tea is one thing.

Telling them to feck off is another. And if the reason is he votes Tory then its bang out of order.

Who they feck thinks its ok to dictate who he votes?

Politics is fraught with machiavellian connivance and if Green brigade are more political than Celtic minded then they really aren't fans either in their own definition.

Freedom requires choice

Dictatorship of what constitutes the correct choice is not Celtic.

I dont like Tory system.

I am probably more victim of their system than most of green brigade.

I will never vote Tory ever.

But I won't tell anyone to feck off if the do vote that system in their freedom

And its not correct to suggest Celtic football club are anti tory

We were never anti anyone.

Pro freedom of choice. pro education, pro virtue.

Anti nothing except evil

And voting tory does not make you evil

It doesn't make sense to me.

But who the feck am I to dictate anyone else freedom unless they are promoting slavery

And soviet style socialism is slavery to state much more than any tory policy

Tory may seem wicked if you are victim of the system

And I think I am victim of the system

But I will defend any tory voter choice to vote for their choice and ill welcome them at celtic even if they look down their nose at me, which they never ever have to my senses.
