royalbluebell 38 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Why is there nothing in the press about this? If the tables were turned it would be splattered everywhere and the hierarchy at RFC would be hounded for a statement. We'll see what happens today but right now it seems that they are to be protected at all cost right enough. I agree there is a notable lack of mentions of this in the majority of the press that I've seen (most disappointingly - The Herald). But let's be fair, the following is in Scotland's most popular tabloid: Unfortunately, this breathless encounter also came with a degree of sectarian baggage that too often blights our game. Only around half of Celtic fans had taken their seats in the build-up to kickoff as the other half chose not to join with other supporters, players and officials in a minute of collective remembrance inside the stadium. That, of course, is their democratic right, fought for by the generations they chose not to honour. However, there can be no excuse for the couple of dozen rabble rousers who chose their time in the car park to belt out a Republican anthem as Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell was spotted on television shaking his head in disbelief. It was a selfish and shameful gesture that desecrated the memory of those who made the greatest sacrifice of all, including those Celtic players, the official Parkhead website poignantly reminded us yesterday, who fell in the First World War. Fair play to Gary Ralston. A couple of dozen, what were they using....loudspeakers? The record reports it ok, but emphasise it was a minority then go on to show the club in a positive light. We are never afforded the same from them. I don't believe Lawell was shaking his head in disbelief or disgust. He fully expected it hence the reason they tried to push for an applause. His contempt was on display by his refusal to wear a poppy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadaready 9,437 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Seems that Sky is now saying it was outside of the ground.. yet have no video evidence of this. I have heard it other places but, seems pretty pre-determined. Either way, it isn't an excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUEDIGNITY 33,723 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Reporting Scotland: The minutes silence was well observed inside the ground, but some Celtc fans outside the ground did disturb proceedings. They played a couple of seconds of the singing and showed Lawell shaking his head. I have reason to believe it wasn't as quiet inside the ground as they say, but the report wasn't too bad, in fairness. Liewell still didn't have a Poppy on, been told some left their seats and went out to the back of the stand to have their rhebelfest ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broxibear87 129 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Was on NewsNow and saw an article saying that video is fake. It's been 'doctored' apparently so they are saying this one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG6dbz2bvEA...player_embedded - proves it was impeccably observed. They're trying to say the singing is from people at the turnstiles just about to get in. I suppose their song about an Irish Catholic getting shot from a soldier was just a coincidence. Also, that mobile is low quality and doesn't give you the actual sound. How they can deny it is beyond me; I heard it live on a French channel. At the end of that video you can hear one of them saying ''thats terrible''. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougieJ 0 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories but I can't help noticing that Graham Speirs, whose The Game column is normally published in The Times on Tuesdays, seems not to be available this week. That has spared him a big decision on whether to make a comment about a topic of much current interest, namely the non-silence at Falkirk. Shame, as I'm sure it's a subject he would have loved to have tackled ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
