Celtic brought a young and very capable team down to Shielfield on Sunday July 27th and beat 'Gary's' Berwick Rangers XI by a second half goal from the very impressive James Keeting. A good crowd of close to 600 enjoyed a very competitive game in which Gary produced a number of fine saves before he left the field after 80 minutes to a standing ovation. At the end of the match Gary was presented with The Berwick Rangers Supporters Trust Player of the Year Award for 2007-08 which was a very fitting way for him to finish off what was a magnificent day for him. The Testimonial Committee are very grateful to John McLaughlan, Chris McCart, Stevie Woods, Miodrag Krivokapic and all the Celtic FC players for travelling down to Berwick and participating in the match in a most fantastic spirit.

I was being serious, is that some kind of fashion thing?

I've said before I quite like some of the Green Brigade displays. The banner they made when Benfica came was awesome.

Sorry I thought you were joking given it has been the subject of much talk in the past.
It was put upside down upon the appointment of John Reid and remains so.

I actually think the Green Brigade are great, and they really remind me of the Ultras you see in Italy and places, which I think is the look they're going for.

I like how that bunch of rhejects have blanked out their faces, like they're trying to give the impression of being dodgy characters or something.

Their politics is slightly controversial and cyberspace is dangerous.

They are a group of supporters who are not who have been targeted, harassed, intimidated and treated disgracefully by the club. The less they know about them the better. Also of course, there are some nutcases out there on the internet sadly.

You don’t tick a box saying you are a Green Brigade member when you fill in your application form.

The Green Brigade aren’t recognised by the club other than targeting members of it. The Jungle Bhoys are the group who have the official backing. A pocket of Green Brigade sit near each other at Celtic Park and others come from elsewhere to join them during games.

I think those pics are great and exactly what should be seen on the terraces. It's a shame more clubs don't have fans like 'ultras'. The Green Brigade are the best in Scotland IMO, better than the Red Ultras, the GB seem to have a better mentality.

I agree, it's was good to see them at Berwick they certainly enhanced the atmosphere and i'm sure Gary O appreciated their presence.

Basically it's a site run by neo-Nazis that hosts pictures and adresses of political opponents. I don't know if they were Green Brigade folk or not, but there was a picture of some guys with a "Celtic fans against fascism" banner posted on it.

It's undoubtable that the site has sinister intentions. It has no other purpose other than putting people in danger.

I would have thought that a person flagged on that site could complain and have the site shut relatively easily
