If only Scottish journos had the balls to hit out at these songs, but instead their "amazing noise" gets praised over here, so fucking backwards it's unreal That's because Scotland is full of shitebags Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, i'd say they were happy enough with that. our usual crowd for a euro tie is about 5000 will have no impact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't do Twitter but someone should send that to UEFA explaining what it is and why it's offensive and ask for it to considered alongside the other evidence of political activity by Celtic fans at last night's game.

Indeed, because remember what happened to us when we were convicted of singing sectarian songs... banned from Eindhoven. Surely if we were banned UEFA MUST act on this as well.

Inigo 33,338 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 In fact, at the same time it's brought up, UEFA should be reminded of their duty to be fair, equal and impartial in their treatment of clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as though journos and editors are afraid to deal with the reality of what happened last night. To the uninitiated reading the press, they will know the banners were judged illicit but perhaps not understand why. It should be explained that they portrayed an IRA volunteer and compared Brendan Rodgers to an IRA sniper. That's a huge failure on the media's part whose job is to inform the public. You're correct, but I'm not sure it would make a difference even if the press spelled it out. Remember the England - Ireland game last year. A few fans sang "Fuck the IRA" and the English media united in condemnation. Now I get that there's a certain amount of fear about stoking tensions with regard to NI, what I don't get is why it is entirely one-sided. I'd also add that this "romanticisation" of the IRA as some sort of cuddly folk heroes seems to have caught on all over Britain. Which is astonishing when you consider how recently they were blowing us to bits in our own towns and cities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If you think about what they did they basically promoted PIRA pictures in a football stadium in clear daylight with everyone watching it (not that I bothered, I never watch them). Just imagine if Ibrox in a months time had a huge UVF banner, imagine the uproar, the front pages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone from here or West of Scotland or Mars would be able to see that. It's actually unbelievable at the sheer audacity of it. Just imagine it was the other way around. It's actually one of the most open promotion of terrorist symbolism I have seen as far as football goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
