ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ

Just recieved this via email

Apologies if repost

Seems more like an IRA splinter group than a footbal supporters club/Fans group

ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ

ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ is back in the limelight following off the field incidents during the Celtic-Aberdeen Scottish Cup semi final at Hampden.

Reports claim ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ prevented police lifting someone they believed to be resonsible for letting off a smoke bomb.

Those newspaper reports also claimed that when police eventually did apprehend the suspect, ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ staged a mass walk out in protest.

It has already been revealed some Celtic supporters disagree with the way ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ acts, but fear if they speak out it could lead to retribution.

So just what sort of people form ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ?

And what sort of football fans' organisation is ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ?

Well, it does not appear to be like any other football club supporters' group the length and breadth of Britain.

For a start, if you want to join any group which supports, Rangers, Rotherham, Motherwell or Manchedster United you apply, pay your few quid membership fee, and join.

NOT SO WITH ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ!

Anyone joining ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ is only accepted initially as a Probationary Member, and must serve a year before being granted full membership.

And during that year, ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ insist the Probabtionary Member attends classes in political education.

This gives a clear indication that ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ is more of a political organisation than one for Celtic supporters who love their fitba and their club.

Certainly some of the imagery displayed by ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ and slogans chanted by Green Brigade members display what many may believe is a committment to extremism outside of mainstream politics in Scotland, the rest of Britain, or indeed, The Republic of Ireland.

Until now they have appeared to be able to operate above the law of the land.

For instance, when Celtic met Aberdeen in the CIS Scottish League Cup semi final, ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ formed a march from the Brazen Head pub in the Gorbals, to the National Stadium.

It is understood they did not apply to the authorities for the permission needed to stage such a march.

It is believed there is a hard core of around 200 in ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ.

One of their most highly publicised protests was the rasing of the infamous Bloodstained Poppy banner at Parkhead during Remembrance week.

This led to a furious reaction from the Daily Mail's main edition, read by around SIX MILLION people throughout Britain, and damaged club owner Dermott Desmond's campaign to get Celtic into the English Premiership.

Celtic chief executive, Peter Lawwell tried to counter that dreadful publicity by pledging those who were guilty would be rooted out and banned. - I can find no record of such a ban ever being enforced.

There is also the question of how easy it appears for ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ to find such a large block of tickets so they can be seated together at Parkhead and elsewhere.

This would constitute a major admin headache for those distributing the briefs.

All of which adds the the aura of mystic and secrecy surrounding ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ.

Only so much of what their members are thinking and saying is revealed on their website.

The rest is hidden behind a security wall which can only be accessed by those who have served a year's probation and attended political indoctrination classes.

This chat room is called ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ's ASU, which co-incidentally is the acronym for the IRA's death squads, the Active Service Units.

So what has all of this got to do with football? With supporting a team? With debating the manager's tactics? With arguing about what a player's best position is, and who should and should not be in the team?

NOT A LOT! IN FACT NOWT!

Political indoctination classes, Bloodstained Poppy banners and a march where it is alleged the flags of Afghanistan and Iraq where flown, and open defiance of the police, is the area in which Green Brigade activists, extremists and zealots operate.

There is of course a time and place for this in a free and open democtratic society, such as the one ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ's members are lucky enough to live in. Though it is not at football matches.

Fuck all wrong with a smoke bomb tbh. And I doubt most of this is true, just the plod cracking down on the ultra scene in Scotland as it is becoming more and more popular.

Edit - I'm not doubting there were IRA members trying to recruit in the section.

I wasn't really pointing out the smoke bomb part mate, more so the 1 yr probation and political 'classes' for entry into ǝpɐbıɹq uǝǝɹb ǝɥʇ. I actually meant to bold a section or 2 for emphasis.

I don't see too much wrong with smoke bombs myself I'm in honest

I'm on another forum called ultrasuk where this was brought up. It was basically laughed at by them and they didn't take it serious. I believe the political thing is a common thing for ultras groups though. I doubt it comes in the form of a 1 yr probation and political classes though. Although I could be wrong.

There's a surprise.
