    Or we could have done none of that and just been normal human beings 🤷🏽‍♂️

    The optics of how we are viewed matter.  It matters in attracting players and managers and new support from outside our traditional fan base.  The Billy boys and famine song give other people the opportunity to demonise our support.  
    celtic fans behaviour and their clubs behaviour is of no interest to me.  
    There are a few songs that are now categorised as socially unacceptable and we should not be undermining our club by singing them.  
    Also there is a risk that individuals are fingered and banned in the aftermath.  
    At times we make it too easy for others to attack us.  
    The Billy boys was sung once or twice but many other songs on Sunday were more impactful. But the focus goes to TBB. 
    I agree with psb and will get pelters for being an apologist or for being weak.  Yet I’m trying to support our club. 
    Also we have learned to support our players of colour for taking the knee.  which is good. 
    We should support our club in their everyone anyone endeavour.

    Not posting the name on a public forum for obvious reasons but there is an excellent private Facebook page that streams every game in HD. Just use facebook watch app to stream on the tv it's great. 

    Can u pm me mate. 

  3. I agree.  
    In this social media world we need to be more savvy. It’s the optics. How it will look. 
    the Clydeside flares were simply spectacular. 
    we just shoot ourselves in foot. 
    We need to be less naive.  Gerrard is presenting us as a multicultural modern club.

    The George square drunken fights with supporters of own club, were shameful.  
    The only defence we have is what about .....

    I think we need to be smarter.

    Bar scum everyone is entitled to an opinion. For me Alfredo is our best player. He will follow whatever instructions he is given by management at the weekend to the letter. He may get a hat trick or through little fault of his own may get sent off.

    Did I mention that I am a big Morelos fan and do not like to see criticism of him ?

    I love wee Alfie the most!!!

    Are you a few brain cells short?

    No he isn’t lol.

    Phil Fodden corrected. Our players are assets. We punish them internally. Gazza beat his wife and Derek Johnstone went awol years ago.  The manager should be allowed to manage these issues. The SFA may also punish them. I work with Covid patients. I get the seriousness of the breach. 

  6. Our captain on a famous day. 

    O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,

    The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,

    The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

    While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;

                             But O heart! heart! heart!

                                O the bleeding drops of red,

                                   Where on the deck my Captain lies,

                                      Fallen cold and dead.

     

    O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;

    Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,

    For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,

    For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;

                             Here Captain! dear father!

                                This arm beneath your head!

                                   It is some dream that on the deck,

                                     You’ve fallen cold and dead.

     

    My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,

    My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,

    The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,

    From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;

                             Exult O shores, and ring O bells!

                                But I with mournful tread,

                                   Walk the deck my Captain lies,

                                      Fallen cold and dead.

    Captain Fernando Ricksen

    I have never heard one single person say anything negative about that top till now.

    I like it. Just the blue is too dark. I prefer the blue of the Baxter era, 72 top. Or now.  Just think it was a bit dark.  I think maybe you “ grew up “ with that top and Gazza and success. So you associate it with happy days. 

    I was colin stein!

  9. I think we are missing the point here. Many of these signings would have occurred without Mark Allen.  Kamara for example was a stand out in a poor Dundee team. Jones is a NI Rangers supporter. Davis and McGregor are explayers.  

    Katic and Aribo have been good value.  

    I think every one of us given his budget and time and club profile could have done better. 

    I think he has not found the sort of players I expected. 

    By that I mean Morelos like. Thanks JJ for that one. 

    celtic  seem able to find dembele Wanyama van dyke etc. This is the type of added value he should have brought.  

    There is something we are not seeing here. I suspect there has been a fall out with the management team and I also suspect Gerrard disappointed with his role. 

    I don’t see this as a loss to the club and I suspect the parting was precipitated by the club  

    But good luck mark

    If it’s him singing it, makes no difference if it’s three years ago or not. 

    We don’t know the context. We don’t know even if it’s real.  All we know is someone is trying to get our fans against our player. The evidence is sketchy. I cudnt make out the song.
