This is a difficult one,
We live in a country of free speech yet at times can’t accept free speech.
The GB are a bunch of young boys mixed in with some older heads and they’re Celtic daft and at times daft. They do a lot of good too but the thinking behind them is not too clever at times.
my old man says the other day to me sometimes people need to remember themselves at that age. You behave differently when your young, you want to take on the world. You protest whereas when your older, you change the channel.
There were very few complaints when they showed solidarity with Palestine a few years ago and very little criticism. The timing of Saturday was crass and stupid to say the least. A few seasons ago was solidarity and rightly so, Saturday was akin to glorifying some horrific acts that none of us want to see.
In these situations it’s always the innocent that are the victims and it’s been like that since time began.
But akin to the Troubles replace UK govt with Israel and IRA with Palestinians.
The other thing to remember is the circumstances on how Celtic came into existence. We were formed to help the ‘oppressed’ and its in our DNA. I’d rather politics didn’t come into Celtic Park, but I’m nearly 50 now, go back 30 years and i’d give you a different answer.
I can only speak for myself, but I’d have a cheek to ask someone not to do what I did when I was there age. Sometimes if we look close enough you can see a younger version of ourselves in these kids
