As far as I am concerned they have about as much reliance to Scottish football as the great potato famine or the American Civil War. I agree,there is many songs at football matches that have no relevance to the game,20 years after the IRA were disbanded you get pretty irritated?

Mince and tatties are excellent with a nice rich gravy and strong mustard or mint sauce (if using mutton). Sorry; what was your point again?

Every year Celtic send £10.000 to the poppy appeal because Celtic do things different from other clubs do you have a problem with that? Brendan Rodgers exercising his individual choice just like every other person in the UK. Very little offends me, so I’m certainly not offended by anyone singing about the IRA. What I can’t, and never will understand, are “football” fans singing songs and chanting at football matches about things that have absolutely NOTHING to do with football, nothing at all. I’ve heard this supposed justification about Celtic not putting poppies on their shirts every year because they make this special donation that they make sure that everyone knows about. Do you honestly think that no other clubs make a similar donation without shouting from the rooftops about it? I understand and am totally happy with individual players making personal decisions about not having a poppy on their shirt, like Adam Rooney, Kamberi, James MacLean, etc, but why are all Celtic players forced to not have one. Last season Ryan Christie was happy to have one on his shirt, this season he doesn’t get the choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Im sure if any player wanted to request to have it they would have been allowed so yes they would have had a choice, as Rodgers wore one anyway.

Given that no player had a poppy, I doubt that you are right with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Personally I would imagine The Poppy Appeal are more interested in getting the funds to help those effected by conflict either physically o.r mentally. Whether you wear one or not is, I suppose, a matter of personal choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's right that the GB continue to use the club as a vehicle to air their political beliefs. These are the morons that forced me and many others to stop going. Celtic are a Scottish football club, not an arena for idiots to protest their political and religious beliefs. The GB and the thousands of other fannies couldn't care less about football so perhaps the club should make attempts at attracting football fans and getting rid of the fannies. Wearing a poppy could be a small step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
