i8hibsh Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Just like their little pals from Lochend (who copy almost everything we do, say and sing), Celtic really do have nothing they can call their own. As they all took their mobile phones out last night and turned the lights on it really is apparent they would take absolutely anything of any other team in Europe in order to feel accepted and part of the elite. Can you think of anything else they have er…..borrowed from other teams? Here is what I have: · The Huddle · You Will Never Walk Alone · The Hoops · The Poznan · Doing an applause at a certain time in a game to somehow commemorate something or someone (possibly the cringiest thing to ever happen to football) · That Warrior type chant that they do that started (I think) in the Euros by Iceland???? · Their flags of _____insert left wing/separatist cause country here_____ · Their absolutely horrendously pathetic banners they have at Parkhead – this all started when they started being in the Champions League every year We all, as fans and clubs take something and claim it as our own but Celtic seem to adopt whatever is ‘in vogue’ at the time by Europe’s elite. It is truly pathetic. Like a little black sheep of the family brother that wants to fit in who copies and mimic everything their elderly more important brothers do. If the guy that took a shite at the Stadium of Light was a Bayern Munich fan then the Green Brigade would start shitting on their seats to follow suit.

Dalstonjambo Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The clap thing was started by Motherwell. Been discussed pretty widely, both at the time of the euros and then almost every time someone else starts doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans of the Reykjavik-based side were first introduced to the terrifying terrace chant in a Europa League game with Scottish Premier League side, Motherwell.

Placid Casual Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I wouldn't care at all if we copied good ideas from other fans. Who gives a **** if it means we are having a great time and supporting the team. Obviously true about performances on the pitch. Think we all pine for the feel good factors of 1997/98 and 2005.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Were we one of the first to do the twirly.

Buffalo Bill Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Lots of teams, including Hearts, borrow chants from other clubs and I have no problem with that. But their statement banners are incredibly cringey. Bunch of wanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic take whatever is 'in vogue' just to feel like a Euro big boy. They also have nothing original. Even the Beatles copied songs - but they had their own stuff. You gotta have your own stuff.
