j1mgg 3,766 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I see the online daily record have blurred out H** in the Tim's banner today when showing a picture of it, which I believe wasn't done in publications yesterday, but they have outdone themselves today and also blurred out peadophiles in our banner, which may even lead you to believe we had a banned word on our banner when we didn't.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I agree with the sentiment. However, I agree with Adrian Durham on this in that neither of those banners belong at a football match. Both sets of banner makers engaged in an unseemly " race to the bottom" to try and be the most offensive with their banners and I dont think either is warranted at football regardless if one has a banned word on in and one doesn't. I always feel that if you give the cellic fans enough rope they will hang themselves. So instead of trying to compete with the utter shite they come out with, we have to be more original. For example, if we hadn't had our banner and therefore given the press no cause to attach a moral equivalence to both banners (rightly or wrongly) all the negative press would have been on their banner and their behavior. Instead, we provide ammo to the press to allow them to treat it as "both are as bad as one another" and we have Durham having to critisise both sets of supporters in a national column. If we start to think and act a little smarter we could use the national coverage Durham gets in a really positive way for the club - and in a really negative way for Cellic. Thats what MW is trying to do by going direct to Talksport for interviews. I dont think a banner competition to see who can sink the lowest is the way forward in that respect.

Briton 394 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Anyone who thinks using as a point scoring tool is acceptable needs to take a good look in the mirror. The people who made that banner let themselves and, more importantly, the club down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more with this post. Our fans conduct themselves in such a manner im proud to be a bluenose. Over the course of the last 4 years we have constantly sold out Ibrox and most away stadiums, made the most noise and passionately followed the team no matter the circumstances. Our banner was pointless and went down to "their level". We are better than that and always will be. Leave the printing of shyte scummy banners down to them!

ForeverAndEver 71,457 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Zombie's are fictional and Peadophiles are real, of which Celtic employed. Banner was true. BJK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would have to be honest. This was screened to 100 Million people. Its not something easily subdued by a local press corps. A little word in someone like Durhams ear would have done the job easily, in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpStepsTheHammer 93 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Anybody who thinks that if we hadn't had a banner and that they would have been vilified in the media are seriously deluded!

plumbGER 24,518 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 So 18 arrests then? That will give the Scottish goverment something to moan about,bigotry and terrible sectarian behaviour has no place in Scottish society these days etc etc...... Meanwhile they subsidise T-in the park and promote the wonderful event etc etc..... T in the park had 54 arrests last year(18 per day) and also a death from overdose and reports of an attempted rape on the campsite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
