jamtart1972 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 On 11/2/2018 at 00:12, Ludo*1 said: Barely been a mention of Celtic fans disgraceful behaviour other than PoppyScotland bizarrely coming out with the, 'it's only a minority' chat. (https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/local/dundee/756426/celtic-fans-slammed-for-throwing-fireworks-and-chanting-anti-poppy-song-at-dens-park/ )This isn't a minority and it is quite a regular thing. It is absolutely Scotland's shame and nothing seems to be done about it. On Tuesday night, Celtic had the full IRA song book out and they particularly enjoyed this new ditty: Then there was the throwing of fireworks at the Dundee fans, to which the police responded by going to the Dundee support and warning the puckle of fans that weren't happy about having firepoppers thrown into the stand where they were seated with their kids. This isn't a one off thing. It needs to be talked about. It needs to be addressed. It's embarrassing that it has barely even merited a mention as it's now just an accepted thing that happens with fans. The other half are just as bad, this isn't an anti-Celtic thing - it's fucking shocking quite frankly that scenes like this now regularly pass without incident. They'll address the sectarian and bigoted issues in Scotland once they all calm down from the ' Tommy Robinson to Visit Hearts ' wind up that was doing the rounds of late.

Imagine being such a snowflake that wars that took place before your time still turn you into a seething, tear stained mess. Grown men still require nannies it would seem. They clearly aren't stable enough to live independent lives if history older than them has such an impact on their emotional and social well-being.

Good point. Having respect for the military or giving money to charities is in no way bigoted in and of itself. Says a lot about the west coast and Ayrshire that so many people conflate these things.

I don't really understand our link with the armed forces if I'm being honest, but I'm struggling to see what the problem is unless you're of an Irish, ergo Celtic, persuasion with a problem with British troops stemming from the Troubles.

This stemmed from G_Man1985 saying that he thought football and politics should be kept completely separate. I gave the original camouflage shirt as an example of Dundee mixing football and politics, and I'm following it up with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
