I don’t understand this fad of bringing flares to the game; one landed in the goal yesterday afternoon. It’s embarrassing, dangerous and is gonna get us banned. What’s to be done?
What’s the point in these Flares

I love the green brigade; they remind me of the old days in the jungle terraces but some of them think they’re bigger than the club and that’s just goin too far

It's the height of stupidity to light anything dangerous in a packed stadium. We've seen football ground disasters before and don't wish to see another.

Don't know about the jungle. I've lost count of the amount of drunk pissheads just releasing themselves and being stuck standing in a flow of urine as a result. But yes, they think they are bigger than the club. For one they are aware that the majority of real fans oppose it for all the issues raised so far in regards to health, safety and the potential for sanctions being imposed on the club. But those responsible just continue to do it. Effectively imposing the will of the minority on the majority, (where have we experienced that before). I did have a conversation with a smoke bomb thrower once, who sits in the Green Brigade section - whether or not he's in the GB, I don't know. An adolescent in first year at Uni whose mummy and daddy buy his season ticket for him and otherwise haven't a clue what their wonderful son gets up to when he goes to the games. Little selfish t@ssers like that stand to tarnish our good name - but the truth is they couldn't give a f@ck anyway.

My non authoritative understanding of real fans are those who respect the values of the club, the opinion and wishes or the majority of supporters and aren't out for their own childish agenda. Not those who just go "F@ck it - let's do our own thing regardless. The club can just pay the fines and absorb the reputational damage."

If you can watch a game without knots in your stomach ,
if you can shop while the game is on ,
if you can eat before playing the Sevco ,
if you can sleep after a bad result ,
if you can ignore the criticism of your club from non-entities ,
if you can happily go on holiday during the season ,
if you can accept that E and B and T are just three letters of the alphabet and nothing more ,
if you think that 'honest mistakes' are just honest mistakes ,
if you think that BDJ is a football pundit ,
...if you believe all these things my son - then you are no Celtic fan ..and no son of mine . Get out !

Plagiarism on "Old Square Toes " a pseudo masonic poem from that arch empirist and 32nd degree free mason Rudyard Kipling. Clever none the less. Hats off to you sir

Folk complaining about flares being thrown ,in my day it was bottles most folk wore hard hats at games if you weren't getting pished on you were getting a bottle on the back of yer napperYou could see clearly that there was going to be a green brigade. Some guy even took the time to rig his out for the cold weather.
