The board need to confront the GB face to face and plead with them nicely to stop getting the club into bother, if failing that then they should face perma-banning if they still decided to do what fannies do.

Glenconner Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Btw i regard the GB as a Trotskyist version of the Boy Scouts. Look at us, we're edgy. Seriously how could anybody compare them to the crew that went on the Benny's Bar bus from Gorbals Cross or twenty others places i can think of. No harm to the GB but i just don't see them in the old terracing in places like the Beach End at Aberdeen or the cowshed at Easter Rd back in the day. A lot of this is beyond me.

What ever happened to the Jungle bhoys. I know they split with the others forming the green brigade, but did the Jungle Bhoys not keep going? Was it down to lack of numbers?

Drew Brees Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I'm out the loop in Belfast for the weekend.....what's happening with the GB mob? Following the club statement on Friday, we take this opportunity to accept full responsibility for both the pyrotechnics display to celebrate the achievements of the Lisbon Lions at the Hearts match in May and our 'Brendan's Undefeated Army' tifo during the match against Linfield on Wednesday evening. While we are disappointed to hear of the impending two match ban that we face, we know that in the sanitised world of Scottish football the actions of an Ultra group like ours may have consequences for our members. We do however completely oppose collective punishment and a blanket ban on all fans in our block is disproportionate and unjust therefore we call on the board to revise this decision. As a group we are defined by our style of support and our politics, both of which the club are happy to benefit from when it suits their agenda. Almost a year ago, after much immediate criticism, we brought worldwide adulation on the club for our show of solidarity with the people of Palestine and the subsequent charity fundraising which was endorsed by the Celtic support. What isn't common knowledge is if it had not been for this incredible response, we would have faced the same punishment as we currently face. In light of this, and of the condemnation of banners and songs from Wednesday, we refuse to allow a discredited and corrupt organisation like UEFA or a board which has welcomed war criminals and Tory Lords to dictate our moral compass. Our decision to mark the achievements of 1967 by using pyrotechnics was not taken lightly. We took the required steps to ensure that this was carried out as safely as possible and in the knowledge that we as a group may face potential consequences as a result of it. We believe the scenes that day and the response from the Celtic support proved it to be worthwhile. We have engaged in regular dialogue with the club over this matter throughout the summer and believed to be reaching an amicable outcome, however it seems as if events outside of our control on Wednesday have impacted upon the decision which has now been reached. The Green Brigade exists to support Celtic in a positive manner and we believe that this current confrontation is unnecessary and avoidable. We welcome Peter Lawwell's call for dialogue as we have been waiting on his availability for some time. One of our first talking points will be the unnecessary and unsafe policing operation carried out during Wednesday night's match, which we believe must be the source of one of UEFA's charges (blocked stairwells) and could only have been designed to antagonise fans in the area. As the evidence below proves, it is bizarre and shameful that the club have not only blamed the fans for this charge but have cited it as a reason for the ban. Other pertinent issues to be addressed are the club's response to the biggest cheating scandal to shame Scottish sport; the insulting of the Celtic support over the Linfield away debacle and negligence of the safety of those they knew would travel; and the silence over the racial and sectarian hatred directed at our player of the year and manager. Typically, the club are quick to bite the hand that feeds them yet reluctant to unite against common detractions. We have built a positive relationship with the Celtic SLO however we are concerned that his position is nearly untenable due to the manner in which he is continually undermined by Celtic security staff. The SLO is required to ''collaborate with the security officer on safety and security-related matters'' however has been deliberately excluded from discussions of this nature which is in breach of the UEFA SLO Guidelines, as per article 35. His exclusion is a deliberate tactic adopted by the police and Celtic security to facilitate the targeting of our members. For over 10 years now the Green Brigade has withstood attacks from Police Scotland and sadly this will always continue. This also will not be our first ban or forced absence from Celtic Park. The Green Brigade has not only survived through the years but we have thrived - we are currently as large and strong as we have ever been. We can assure all that we will be back in Celtic Park soon enough and that we will never allow our style nor our politics to ever be diluted.

ICTChris Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 That statement...Just to clarify, the Green Brigade are group of adults who watch football, not the Sandinistas or ANC? Am I right there?Heavy minter from them over all this. From what they say there it sounds like they want Celtic to behave like Rangers and have them issue long, seething statements about how everyone is against them.

Jacksgranda Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I'm surprised there was no mention in the GB statement of "brave Irish patriots still labouring under the yoke of Anglo Saxon oppression." Maybe the next one will include it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 In fairness we have very little serious issues or problems in Scottish football but yet we are always greeted with way over the top rhetoric from our own media and own Government. As for Uefa they just see small nations like Scotland as easy pickings when the real problem countries such as Greece, Turkey, France, Italy, Spain, England and most Eastern European nations are permitted to run riot. Yes, we still have some sectarian issues but in reality a few chants and songs from some half witted clowns is far less to worry about than knife wielding gangs and rival "ultra" gangs literally maiming and murdering each other. As for the Police, they can be far too heavy handed and to treat every paying customer as a potential criminal is just bang out of order but sadly is where we currently stand as football fans in this country. Please note I'm not condoning the use of flares and smokebombs by the GB or anyone else as we also have this problem at Somerset from time to time and it can be extremely uncomfortable and dangerous for those caught up in it, especially the elderly and youngsters, however a note of reality is needed when we look at the so called "shame" and "problems" of Scottish football.............

wingnut Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 For atmosphere alone they will be missed but surely Celtic no asking for much apart fae behaving in the ground and not getting the club into more bother as the beaks and others sitting there praying it happens and still confuses me why a support would do this to a club the seemingly love,the politics are taking over,keep that for somwhere else,the last thing we need is our own support falling out,let the other lot do that.

Is there not another group going too, at the opposite corner to the GB? The Jungle Bhoys kept going for a season or two after the split with the Green Brigade. Think it was to do with numbers as to why they packed it in. At the same time there was another two smaller groups known as the Comrades and the Shamrock Bhoys. They lasted barely a season. The opposite end of the ground house the group the Bhoys who were formerly known as the Style Mile Vandals, snigger, before they split from the Green Brigade.
