Ross County v Celtic, Saturday 6th August 2022 at 3pm BST

[Steviebhoy67]

Fuck the media. I havent heard the chants. If they were aimed at Walter Smith and that, and the media have called it out then that's a fucking first. I've never seen them call out the peado chants aimed at Jock Stein, Scotlands greatest manager, who did everything in his power to rid scotland of the sectarian shite, even confronting his own fans....but they will defend a bunch of sectarian bastards that openly hated Celtic and Catholics. I havent seen the media defend scotlands greatest ever players. They get the opportunity every single week to do that. The scum sing the same songs about them at every match. Where is the media condemnation there??? Fuck the media.

As the man said our supporters DID sing that song. I heard it. Despicable although it wasn't the majority. We say we're better than that. Let's show it ffs. Dignity.

 

[Espiritosanto]

I’m not saying in anyway this excuses it but the further away the match is, the more it happens. This is due to the fans having longer on the bus to get pissed with the Rebs blaring, by the time they reach the venue they feel like an invading army and ready to go to war

At last!!!hit the nail on the head mate!!

 

[LC20]

So you think football fans will accept they're rivals songs or chants and just all stand there and won't retaliate???

I understand, but then do we just sink to the lowest common denominator? Then point at the other lot and say it's all their fault ?

Surely as a support we are better than that, or at least we should be! Those who sang that vile chant at Dingwall have shamed the support and everything that Celtic are meant to stand for.

 

[boab1916]

The media stirring the pot for a story, the SFA as usual will always look for any excuse to hit back at Celtic, wonder why that is?

 

[BarrowfieldBhoy]

You don't defeat ignorance with more ignorance, or hatred with more hatred, or stupidity with more stupidity.
How huns act should be no benchmark to how we act. Thankfully it's a tiny minority of Tim's that copy hun conduct, but whenever they do they embarrass our club imo.
I want everything about Celtic to be better than the scum, not as bad as the scum isn't good enough for me.

You‘re spot on on Hoopy... you won’t defeat their ignorance or stupidity..EVER.
It’s ingrained into them from childhood.
I agree we should be better than them kants but sometimes it’s hard to accept this philosophy when you see how they behave and how our totally impartial media treat us versus them.
The temptation is always there (at least for me) to say fuck it let them have it...sometimes not just in chants either.

 

[Cairnsybhoy79]

I don't think that all will be able to do that but it would be so much better for us in the long run if they did. The guy that wrote about our chants yeaterday was the same guy that called out the Ibrox folks last year -

Rangers, the 'superiority syndrome' and anti-Catholic bigotry: Why it cannot go unchallenged any more​

Fair enough but he wrote about them once last year was after they got a police escort thru the toon singing the famine song??? I'm not reading his piece mate but saying it once a year ago then go all out on us now isn't acceptable where was all these news paper stories when they spent years singing about the lions not seeing this or that won??? Its too one sided and there's far too many idealist in out fan base to call our own scumbags or witever

I get that mate I really do but this is real life individuals 50 odd thousand sometimes at games we are all different there's noway that our more militant fans will accept being the first to put the tunes away all the while they have free reign it's pure fantasy after 30 years of abuse its a society problem not a football one only so just calling our own scumbags and all the rest is pure pointless personally im getting sick i
Of all the ira shite at the home games from the young bhoys mob but I would not call them names we have to interact with these fans get them to change the song book but for yous all on here expecting our fans to be the first to put the songs away Is a fuckin nonsense imo after all these years of abuse from the other side

We can't control how the huns act, we can't control how the media act, we can control how we act.
As long as even a few of our fans act like them then we'll be seen as part of the problem, just as bad as them.
It's almost like a jealousy thing with some of our fans, if the huns get away with these sort of chants so should we. Is it really that enjoyable to mock a recently dead person? Is it life affirming? I don't really see the appeal personally.

Hoopy I've noticed it's a younger mob that have took on all the old tunes even the bhoys mob in our stadium all they sing is about the ira we have youths running about all the schemes spray painting and putting up the stickers this young mob want to be ULTRAS so just saying oh we must be bigger than them I'm sorry mate but it's a bigger society problem than just say our home fans not singing a naughty song so hiw do u tell our youth to stand down all the while they union bawbags get police escorts it's just not gonny happen I'm realist I grew up in a scene in glesga since moved but it looks like the young are trying to reinvent the hooligan culture all be it they ain't as hard but as I said last nite until there's a line in the sand drawn for us all then nothings gonny change and no amount of calling our young mob scumbags is gonny change it

 

[Cairnsybhoy79]

North men South men comrades all
Until the young mob sing a fuckin song!!!

 

[Cairnsybhoy79]

I've not seen one hint of a solution on here apart from oh we are better/bigger than them just leave them to it....
So where are all the ones calling our fans scumbags wheres your solutions????
I assume most of u dont see any sectarian shite day to day in your own lifes which is great I'm pleased for yous but the rest of us still stay next to arseholes who fly the flags we all hate and sing the songs we all hate so wits the solution do the ones who don't have to put up with this push want me to just fuckin stand there???

So if we act just the same as them will that make things better or worse?

 

[Cairnsybhoy79]

As I said until there's a broad change for us all then im not calling our fans anything so wit do u suggest we all become MLK we shall overcome???

I think its perception mate, I aint getting into a discussion with anyone about this as its my view alone , but most if not all Brits see the IRA and its leaders as a terrorist organisation, a good number of Celtic fans dont we see them as freedom fighters and as such have no problem singing republican songs, now I know there are people who just sing them and have no idea why.

They started trying to take the Irish tricolor down from our stands and weren't successful now they lackeys and media poodles are after our songs, if UEFA come out say its not on then OK stop, but not because it upsets the permanently offend.

LET THE PEOPLE SING.

I've said above that the ira chanting especially at home I think kills the atmosphere more nowadays I'm not condoning anything but im also not gonny start doing the old oh our fans are scumbags routine either I wid love to know when the protests and banners are being organised by the fans on here to force change in Scottish society I'm waiting on a flyer being posted so I can attend maybe people shudnae throw stones on a forum giving it big licks then do fuck all to change it I find that disgusting keyboard snowflakes all around who obviously live in cocoons in a magical land far far away

 

[Bridie Bhoy]

So anyone who thinks that singing repulsive songs mocking dead people are "keyboard snowflakes"? Oh come on! There really is no point in discussing this further then if that is where this is going.

All will say is that anyone defending our fans singing these songs had better not complain about other club's fans singing their nasty bile about Celtic ever again.

I'll send you a postcard from magical far far away land!

 

[John nó]

Can understand both sides of the debate upon this issue, yet what is the solution?
I've always stated that our songbook during matches should always remain in supporting the hoops at the current time, and that principle isn't likely to change either, yet on Derby day would be allowed in response to the scum and there constant vile chants.
Contradictory I know, but all bets are off when the scum are involved imo.
So as a solution?
A dangerous one but maybe a show of booing towards such songs/chants that are deemed unacceptable during match time, should be allowed to show just how the majority may feel upon the subject at present.
Of course it could and would be viewed as a split within the Celtic support, but already feel it is already there and reducing the atmosphere to where it could and should be imo.
The unity is still there within the Celtic support and that's highlighted in the full stadium huddle and the YNWA, but still times during matches that the atmosphere drops when the ra songbook comes out.
So maybe short term pain will bring about long term gain imo, but think that the majority really needs to start showing where there feeling's are upon the issue on match days while the game is actually on.
Outside of game time everything else isn't really an issue imo.

 

[Lubos left peg]

Isn't it mad that the media attack Celtic over a minority of fans chanting something and we all end up arguing amongst ourselves over rebel songs and being the bigger men
In the meantime 50,000 fans mock our dead legends and sing about killing us due to our nationality or religion every single week and there's barely a peep.
No one on the noise is condoning the chants at the weekend. We are only asking that coverage is fair.
If it was fair then I bet you it would be easier to shout down the MINORITY in our group of fans than it is at the moment...because the argument at the moment is..."well the scum can sing about wading in my blood and calling my greatest manager a peado so I'll sing what I fucking want!!"
The only people that can force fairness in the media is our board. They should call out the treatment of our fans at every opportunity. Yes, condemn the MINORITY, but at the same time condemn the MAJORITY that attack our fans on a regular basis without the same media scrutiny......but no. Our board will call US racist, they will ban the green brigade over flares and banners while inviting the scum the stadium to mock our legends, trash our stadium and fantasise about being up to their knees in our blood, all while the media celebrate a carnival atmosphere....but on yeez go lads. Let's argue about getting rid of the SAM song

 

[Winter]

Oh Celtic, my super Celtic
Were the best team every week
We dont hate rangers we just dont like them
And when they're bad
We turn the other cheek
NOT

Don't see any arguments as such lubos regarding the issue imo.
See it more about how our team should be supported in a vocal manner.
Couldn't care less about what the scum do as we ourselves do plenty to call out just how vile they still remain and always will be.
1 celtic supporter v 50,000 piss slurpers and the focus will always be upon that 1 individual, any more than that will be portrayed upon the whole club, the way of the Scottish Media and others and has been for donkey years and will be for the foreseeable also.
Could understand as it being viewed as a response towards Loyalists scum and OO fucks but believe that the real issue should remain about the manner in which we actually support Celtic during a match, anything outside of that plays into the hands of the scum who protects scum imo.
