Kill the Celtic Puppy?

So, its the new season yet again.
Seems like only weeks since the last one finished.
Has anything changed in so little time?

Well for a start, Peter Lawwells stepped away from the SPFL Board, leaving a space in which Rangers are eager to fill. Who knows whats in store at the OK Corral that is Mount Florida HQ? Its clear lots of Celtic fans are praying Lawwell finally goes Mega-Fergus and starts dishing out real justice over there on the South side but an equal number are fearful that he will just slide away into the background of Scottish football and continue to tell the fans “Just hold on a wee while” for yet another period of inactivity and empty promise.

A Celtic legacy awaits you Mr Lawwell, you can grab it or you can forever be the ignored guy, sitting alone in the pub saying “Aye that didnae happen but mind I also did this….”

I admit the pub in this instance will be a 5 star golf resort somewhere warm and lovely but you get the drift. Peter will not be known as an Invincible. He will not be known as the saviour of Celtic, at present he will be known as The Man in the Suit who did okay overall.

Good is not great and good does not a legacy or legend make.
We wait to see but given the last few years, no-one is holding their breath.

Team wise I’m reading lots of people saying they see a big difference in the team from the same stage of the season last year ( Red Imps anyone?). Given the Invincibles have had only a month or two off it’s not surprising we seem to be at least a little bit more up to speed. The 4-0 win against Linfield was professional enough but the team in blue were rank rotten but we did the job accordingly. The line-up was a little surprising with Broony playing centre half from the outset but with every man bar Gordon in the Linfield half for 90% of the game, it wasnt anything to be concerned about.

Seasoned professionals like Scott Sinclair showed bow to come out the traps flying but overall we are still rusty, with players taking a touch too many or being a yard off the pass here and there. No worries though, we will get there; Brendan and his meticulous ways will ensure it. Rosenborg will be another step up and have a decent defensive record so hopefully Griff and Moussa can work their magic along with Sinclair and Tom Rogic when we face them at Paradise on Wednesday 26th July.

Personnel wise, We await the outcome of the Armstrong contract saga but already we have started seeing the fruits of new signings Ntcham and Benyu so the impact of any departure involving the man with the golden mane may already be tempered.

The Patrick Roberts signing desires are still strong around Parkhead and who knows, could the Armstrong cash swing the deal to bring the wing star back up north to join Sinclair, Forrest and new bhoy Johnny Hayes out in the wide areas. Again its a case of wait and see but theres plenty of time and there is bound to be a few more changes between now and the end of August.

Hopefully we will have another centre-back and a forward to ease areas of limitation within a squad but its weird how we always seem to bring in midfielders first every season. Theres only so much juice you can squeeze from the same orange and all that.

And so to the elephant in the room, or more like the puppy in the corner.

The Green Brigade.

I was at the game last night and the Irish songbook was getting it big big licks, a lot lot more than during any games against Rangers or Sevco. The songs were being sung all round the stadium, bar the away corner of course.

Then the Banners were unfurled and the singing continued. Oh how we all laughed when Linfield sang “We are the People” and then we all headed home happy at the win and progression in the CL.

I then came back from the game to my wife telling me that the dog had peed the carpet, Honestly. The wife really was not happy but I just shrugged given theres not much you can do. The wee soul hadnt got out due to the rain and needed to go and all that.

Hows that for life setting up subtle metaphors!

After walking the 4 legged piss culprit, I then checked my phone and sure enough there was the lashing and wailing of people bemoaning the Green Brigade for showing a wee daft banner of an IRA man ( please dont give it “it represents a GB member”).

Im a middle aged man and duly gave out a solid sigh. I wasnt sighing at the so called stupid antics of the Green Brigade.

That would be like sighing at the puppy.

I was sighing at the moaners.

Im not defending anything the green Brigade do, they dont need me to do that.

Im simply telling the moaners that you cant have it both ways. You cant sit and say “We have a great atmospheres, the best in Europe!” without adding “Thanks to the Green Brigade”. You cant say “Oh I wonder what brilliant TIFO the Green Brigade will do tonight?” and then say “Booh…bad bad bad bad boys( name that singer?)” when they put up something you dont like.

I cant say “I love watching that wee dog playing about the garden” and then fall to my knees and cry out “Why..oh Why!” like a fallen soldier in Vietnam, when he does a piss.

And so we come to the “Fuck You” element.

Remember when Celtic used to have it? and it wasnt Celtic fan vs Celtic fan.

That’s right. Back when the current moaners about the Green Brigade were the same age as the Green Brigade are now, Celtic fans were proudly displaying that “Fuck you” attitude en-masse. We showed it to Authorities such as SFA and Jim Farry and we even showed it to Thatcher on Cup Final day. We didn’t care about sanctions and sanctimony back in those days, did we?

That was then..we have all moved on” is the cry from todays middle-aged middle-class middle-spread Celtic fans. Strangely many of these same people can be found moaning about Resolution 12 and Sevco based injustices and yet are deaf to others duly saying “That was then..we have all moved on“! If that’s the attitude then they would be as well saying “Lets all just play nice” and take a knee. You cant have it both ways. Either do what you feel is right or join the herd in silent obedience.

The Green Brigade are not owned or owe anything by the rest of the Celtic fans or the Club and its Leadership. People cannot cheer and smile proudly when they hold up Palestine flags and raise enormous amounts for Charity and then say “Booh…No friends of mine!” when the Roman soldiers of “The Establishment” start asking questions about previous allegiances when they hear a song they dont like or see a banner they care to disapprove off.

Cards on table, I think there’s also an element of jealousy within some of the Celtic support regards the Green Brigade. That tall poppy syndrome that Scots love so much. Not all Celtic self harm is by the Green Brigade. I know most people deriding them do so out of love and protection for the club rather than any other feeling but ultimately they cant have it both ways. You cant be “I like the Green Brigage…but..”,it just doesnt work.

If you love something, you shouldnt try to change them or make them sit on their hands, or rub their noses in pish.

Modern football has become so commercialised and sanitized that any rocking of the boat is immediately frowned upon by any and every member of “the Establishment”. Lest we forget the Establishment are the people condemning Leigh Griffiths for tying a scarf to the post after having a bottle thrown at him. The Establishment are the people making us play football on a Friday night at 5pm in order not to upset a bunch of horrible people who hate Catholics. The Establishment are the people who love fining our club for any assumed indiscretion yet happily turning a blind eye to the so called bigger clubs being corrupt to the core or breaking every rule and guideline as they wish, without fear of repercussion. The Establishment are the people picking out small elements and highlighting them as headlines hoping fans turn on each other.

We used to be proudly against the Establishment, now its not quite clear where we stand, which is exactly where the Establishment want us.

So, what lies ahead?

Time will tell soon enough, especially with Peter leaving the SPFL Board.

As for the dog..well the wife has calmed down already and is back spoiling it while I remain on my knees mopping up the mess with a smile on my face.

While I agree with most of what you say whoever is responsible for the banner\songbook needs to have a wee think about it. UEFA are shite we all know that and we have been on the sharp end of them a few times, if they decide to investigate this we could be playing Rosenborg without the green brigade or anyone else for that matter. I love what they do, they are sensational and they are a credit to the club however sometimes they drop a wee clanger and if that could be reigned in a bit then the detractors would have to moan about something else. The y have created enough freat songs about the players, club history without going down the party tunes route…ffs we laugh at that other mob singing all about derrys walls for 90 mins because the have nothing else, don’t think we can be on a high horse if we are using the other page of the songbook….

a good an interesting article. I am not sure about the tall poppy syndrome but accept some fans perhaps feel that the GB see themselves as more important or more of a fan. I don’t, I think they contribute a great deal to the overall support.

I am not in support of the establishment and appreciate the Fuck You approach in many cases. I see Celtic as all inclusive, for everyone, with a support who stands up to injustice, I didn’t feel that was the purpose of the banners or singing last night and didn’t feel it was about supporting the team either.

The new boys all impressed last night and it would be good to see Benyu getting a start. Although it might be aq bit risky against Rosenberg but he looks an assured player. I think the Roberts ship has sailed, if we were going to make an offer we would have. If Celtic surprised everyone and pulled out 8 million he would be our player. If Celtic pulled 8 million I might drop dead of a heart attack though. But that will be the price. As for Lawwell. Please do not be so naive. Big Peter has already negotiated them keeping their titles but does not want to be accused of giving in to them so, in keeping with the cowardly way that the club has acted in over the past 5 years, he is walking away to take the shame off himself. To imagine that some how this is a prelude to a fight is delusional. I could tell you verbatim Lawwell’s address to the shareholders at the next meeting, verbatim. ‘It is not us the other clubs did not want action. Now a new Rangers man will probably take his place. One thing you can guarantee from them is that they will support new Rangers, not the continuation of some version of the Old Firm. I have a feeling of dread that this failure to deal with the corruption will come back to bite us. If they can get away with cheating on this scale what have they planned for the next 20 or 30 years.

I am 62 years of age,and supported Celtic for 57 of them.
I come from an Irish working class family background.
The fans have every right to disagree with the antics of the GB.
It is an embarrasement to see these disguised references to religoius bigotry.
The GB think they speak for the fans,well they do not.
Celtic Park is world famous for it,s atmosphere,thanks mainly to the GB,and I personally appreciate what they bring to the atmosphere.We can all unite behind them,but it is thete own stupis sence of self importance that is setting Celtic fans against each other

You are spot on here. Last night was about getting it up and insignificant club like Linfield and by association a club we actually believe are dead. My question is Why bother. I mean it is Linfield who cares if they are an uber-Orange team. We wouldn’t unfurl special banners for Airdrie if we drew them in the cup. I have no problem with almost everything the GB do but we cannot stand back and feign shock when the press and establishment in Scotland don’t like it. We are also guilty of pointing the finger at the banners flown by them. I am not equating the two as usually they are sectarian and racist but their banners are more acceptable to the majority of Scots than banners depicting or praising the IRA. Is this really a surprise to anyone? However, UEFA is a corrupt and ridiculous organisation and if the GB continue to display banners then eventually it will result in the closure of a stand or the whole ground. And it will not matter how aggrieved we feel about it. But some people in the GB might be happy with this as they can revel in this.

I think the majority of Scots and English see no difference between songs of the IRA that are 100 years old and those that relate to the troubles. You are right, we will be tarnished with the same brush and I do think that the pretence that the banner was an ultra and not a paramilitary is just the same as when oldco claimed their orange strip was in honour of their Dutch players!

You are right and to be fair most folk need to find something that offends them or even worse on someone else’s behalf.

Politics in football doesn’t bother me but at the same time find that it is absurd to think that everyone that supports a team shares all views political and even moral. Religion has no place in sport for me as again each to their own, the one common cause is the shared team.

Celtic should remember and celebrate both their origins and culture. This includes the bonds of immigration in many cases forced.

What is or isn’t acceptable is a really good point which I think john highlighted. Most Celtic fans will (and rightly so in my opinion) point at the sevco song book and identify it as offensive, bigoted and distasteful. However, I reckon most Celtic fans are capable of deciding what they think is acceptable to sing. Equally a song can be acceptable but inappropriate……I am glad I don’t have to decide but have no faith in the authorities to do this either!

here montit, these guys want you to fuck off…I concur

CELTIC have this afternoon issued a statement after receiving notification from UEFA that the club had been charged after an illicit banner was displayed last night at Celtic Park.

And the decision taken by UEFA today to order the closure of a stand for Linfield’s next home European Tie should be a real concern for the Celtic supporters who occupy the standing section at Celtic Park.

Here is the Celtic statement:

“FOLLOWING Wednesday night’s European tie at Celtic Park against Linfield, Celtic Football Club have issued the following statement.

“Any support for a paramilitary or proscribed terrorist organisation has no place at Celtic Park. The Club has been consistent in condemning such conduct on the very few occasions in the past when it has occurred at Celtic Park. It is unfortunate that such a small minority of the crowd at Celtic Park last night behaved in such a way.

“We know that the Celtic support will join us in condemning such behaviour. Events last night have resulted in charges from UEFA in relation to the paramilitary banners and unsafe behaviour in a section of the Celtic support. The Club has commenced an inquiry and will take appropriate action.”

Was this article one of those parabolas? Slightly off colour banner by the GB making a defiant but futile point and was slightly better than opting to physically sorting out the non footballing Lambeg drummers polluting our city and stadium. I reckon their main point was to highlight the attempts to class GB football fans as terrorists of a kind by the local establishment, police and some politicians. Nothing more nothing less. Our enemies are outing themselves by their over-zealous critique helped by some less than thoughtful tims. You can see the GB Skull behind the mask, what terrorists are represented by that skull? Bog standard fans hauled before the courts, from their beds and airport arrivals, while Murray and Ogilvie lie in their beds. Get focused on the real issues here not the squirrels. GB slightly risque, but no bottles thrown or Linfield fans set upon. If Dundalk had treated a visting Rangers team as some Linfield fans did Celtic, we would be hearing a different story. Griffiths is similar, should have known better, but what criminal act did he commit?
The wagons need to circle, and we need to retain our common decency whilst fighting back, and give some thought before being hooked by Level 5 divisive dross.

1st time poster so be gentle! Let me say that I am a passionate Celtic supporter for all my life, 53yrs and counting. I like the GB and 90% of what they have brought to the match day atmosphere/experience at our great club – more than a club. However, all that great work/Tifos//singing by the GB counts for almost nothing if they continually and blatantly provoke/annoy the sleeping dog. The dog is growling just now with small fines, but we all know how this ends, the dog will eventually bite back and we will have to play in a closed stadium with no atmosphere! We all know the rules whether we agree with them or not! We all need to be pulling in the same direction. Can you imagine BR accepting a player continually transgressing his/club rules. In BRs team everybody has to contribute in a positive way, not one week good the other bad! Think of Di Canio, Van Hooydonk and McGeady all great players but only for themselves in slightly different ways! The GB have a fantastic opportunity to be legends and to enhance the clubs image and reputation round the world as ‘more than a club’

The Green Brigade have raised many issues, the Palestinians, amongst others. Raising the issue of unfair policing and illegal laws passed by this government, also providing the supporters with some great songs.
However they are part of the Celtic family. Not an overbearing spoiled child, which they are acting as.
There is nothing wrong at raising issues, but they should be smarter as all they will do is harm the club and the people that support the beliefs they espouse.
They will imitate the very things that are wrong In our sick society as seen over the last few weeks.
Grenfel Tower, the Tories and basically all the politicians that are feeding at the trough and ignoring the poor and the blighted. They will be used as a screen by the Orange scum to cover their ongoing hatred of decency.
I agree that UEFA and the Supine Farcical Association are a joke and need a clear out, but unless Celtic Football Club make a move nothing will happen.
All that will happen is the team and fans will be penalised, and once it starts they will not stop. There are many in the Establishment that hate our club with a vengeance,

I remember going to the jungle when I was a boy waving the tricolour etc. Older Celtic minded people (that hardly ever went to games) tut tuting about the fans flying the flags and singing the rebel songs. I thought the tut tutters were wrong then and still do. As for UEFA or any of the other football authorities telling me how to behave or how I should think! They would be the last people I would look to for a lesson in morality or ethics.

Hey Ralphy, leave those pups alone,
away and fetch them a bone,
take them a walk near yer home,
all in all they are just another pup without a bone!!!

Still talking about the storm in the tea cup allegorically I see. Let’s move on. Green Brigade I love your antics and your passion. Also consider the club and UEFA. Your passion will have to be displayed very cleverly to avoid sanction it seems. I’m sure you guys can do that. Good question was pasted earlier “what is acceptable” seems to be double standards at work here. Let the people sing I say

Weered is the type of person who I hope I don’t live near . He maybe somekind of a watered down Nationalist but he plays into the loyalist plan . Anyone who shows a bacl bone & stands up for our people is sectarian .
I am delighted that the vast majority of nationalists where I come from are not soup takers . Soup takers will only prolong our agony .

You need your senses recalibrated I think?
That question was for someone who actually knows the script about what’s going on over there.
Not some pseudo plastic paddy who once read a book about the IRA and listens to the Wolfe Tones on a Friday night efter a bender at bargain booze.

I’m all for delousing the undesirable elements of our support. 🙂
