Thedelldays Posted 10 November, 2008 Share Posted 10 November, 2008 (edited) the dirty horrible gits...I hated them anyway but this is another reason to add to the list.. during this weekend games the mins silence at the Celtic game for rememberance day had to be changed to a mins applause (despite pleas from the british legion and many other groups) due to fears that Celtic fans would disrupt the silence....this came about after ge club received many many letters and phone calls from fans saying they would be prepared to walk about of the ground should the club conduct a mins silence...those fans who moaned claim that the mins silence and rememberance day as a whole promotes british imperialism and its history.. do these people really live in the UK? another reason why I hate that club and SOME (not all) of their fans... Edit - Looking into this even more...over 200 fans walked out of the game during the mins applause....unbelievable Edited 10 November, 2008 by Thedelldays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 10 November, 2008 Share Posted 10 November, 2008 Seems weird tbh. There were plenty of Catholic Irish and Scots fighting in WWI, WWII, the Falklands, the Gulf, etc. What's their point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintwarwick Posted 10 November, 2008 Share Posted 10 November, 2008 Had a Rangers fan sat next to me at SMS on Saturday, he doesn't like Celtic fans either Seems those Celtic fans need a lesson in History. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 10 November, 2008 Share Posted 10 November, 2008 Surely the only possible 'beef' the Celtic fans could have is with the Easter Rising that took place during war time in 1917? Of course, they could have a problem with using rememberance Sunday to remember the British soldiers that died during the troubles in N.Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, they could have a problem with using rememberance Sunday to remember the British soldiers that died during the troubles in N.Ireland they were talking about this on the radio and one bloke (irish) came on applauding the guys who walked out...saying rememberance day disgusted him blah blah...despite the fact that over 50k irish people died in WW1 alone.....he said he could never forgive the English for what they did to his country etc... after the presenter saying he understood but felt the english cant go on saying sorry for what happened 100 years ago..he asked this chap what part of Ireland he now lives in.. he replied he did not live in Ireland....he lives in......LONDON...

Mole Posted 10 November, 2008 Share Posted 10 November, 2008 The Protestant/Catholic "thing" (for want of a better word) is nothing now compared to how it used to be. It's all just posturing in the main. Ironically 9/11 was probably the best thing that coould have happened for the UK of GB & NI because in a matter of minutes the IRA's revenue stream dried up - supporting terrorists became unfashionable in the USA.

I don't believe other wars are the problem for them. However, it was only around 200 fans out of the 60,000 there who made the fuss, I heard.

They're complete and utter c*nts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
