Che Guevara

[i8hibsh]

Any particular reason why the Mhanks always have a banner of him at Parkhead?

[lewis2006]

Because he was sellik minded a tell ye

[Boab Mugabe]

Their Hitler banner is in the wash?

 

How silly of me - none of them have access to cleaning facilities.

[JamboSean]

I think it's, long story short he stood up for the poor and needy against capatalism. Fighting for people's rights ect. Something the Sellick fans like to join themselves to as they feel so hard done by.

 

Oh and he's part of the Sellick fhamily.

[clanmac]

I believe that when he was a young doctor he travelled around south America helping people with leprosy I can only assume someone told him about parkhead.

[boabyarsebiscuit]

I find it wholly ironic given the context of the South / Central American revolutionary struggle in the 1960s and the institutions Castro, Guevara et al found themselves opposing (a wee clue kids, it wasn't just governments they were up against).

"right minded" football fans don't do irony...they just take the moral high ground.

[billco98]

Hands off El Comandante - Che Guevara.

 

He was a one of the good guys.

[cosanostra]

Same reason as they fly palestine and eta flags.

 

They think that the IRA are freedom fighters and revolutionaries so they try and associate themselves with other revolutionaries / terrorists (depending on your perspective of course).

 

Che Guevara has precisely nothing in common with Sellik or the IRA but it shows how these low lives think.

Che Guevara has his pseudo-marxist politics in common with the IRA/Sinn Fein.

 

interestingly, he's also from part Irish stock.

 

but yes, you are right in saying that their misguided support seeks to identify themselves with other "revolutionaries"

[ToadKiller Dog]

Its just the sad world off the old firm fans ,the smellies wave Palestinian flags the uglies bring out Israeli flags .If one of them waved a pakistani flag the next game the other would have the Indian flag.

The Aberdeen sanitary towels the red ultras also have a Che flag.

To be honest, i didn't know that Sinn Finn were a marxist party, always thought they were socialists, but not marxist.

 

I did know that Che had Irish blood though.

[Mister Dee]

Was the banner upside down?

They're good at that.

If you think the IRA/Sinn Fein have anything to do with marxism,you have never studied Irish history.

Connolly was hated by the IRA

I'm not talking 1916 - I'm talking 2008. I also said "pseudo-marxist".

[billco98]

If you take a broader view of history you will find a common thread in their allegiances - past and present imperialist persecution of subjugated peoples.

 

The Irish Nationalist cause in Northern Ireland

The Great Potato Famine

Palestinian cause

Basque Separatist movement

Chef Guevara socialist revolutionary

 

Some naturally are predisposed to support underdogs often because they themselves or their ancestors have been on the receiving end.

 

Of course all of this is acentuated by the fact that the Huns normally display imperialistic sympathies i.e. they support the bullies..

Where does Artur Boruc's t-shirt tie in with all of this?

 

The US Government

The Mob

The Catholic Church

 

All enthusiastic and active opponents of Che Guevara's attempts to "export revolution" to the oppressed peoples of South and Central America in the 1960s.

Really?

 

Ive always been a fan of Billy.

 

Very funny man!

aye what a great statement for the sellick fans to make whilst wearing their nike tops.

[Therapist]

Any particular reason why the Mhanks always have a banner of him at Parkhead?

 

They latch on to any individual or organisation that's non-Protestant and perceived by their warped minds to fit the definition of "rebel".

Correct... Alot of IRA member were more marxists than fighters for Irelands Freedom in particular.

 

Prob could have worded that better but there Marxists beliefs were prob more of a catalyst for joining the IRA than any thing else.

 

ck - I've read alot about the history of the IRA and there growth through out the 60s / 70's and 80's Marxism played a big part during those decades.

[Colonel Kurtz]

 

BC is a celebrity Tim apologist.

The Fenians as a political organisation were originaly predominantly protestant.

The Tims in Spain were also attacked by the police as a result of an ETA/IRA one struggle banner,and believe it or not getting involved in a local environmental rally about a grounded tanker.

One wonders how this reconciles with having John reid as chairman

A lot more were criminals, drug dealers, psychotics, and general all-round small time organised crime type "hoods".

[Bomber Harris' Best Mate]

Because of their victim mentality, any one individual or group percieved to be victims they will be all over like a rash, worse than scousers, and in fact I also noticed a 'justice for the 96' hillsborough banner at parkhead on Sunday aswell.

 

Thats why the most moaning, whinging and paranoia comes from Celtic FC.

[K1874M]

A lot more were criminals, drug dealers, psychotics, and general all-round small time organised crime type "hoods".

 

Correct but alot of the more... educated, IRA members were driven to join the IRA thru there Marxist beliefs... which is how I meant Marxism had aided the recruitment of the IRA.

[WalterEgo]

Pretty sure it's something to do with Buffalo Bill's pants IIRC.

[12XU]

C.H.E.

 

Campaign for Homosexual Equality

 

Its rife....Boruc had on t shirt ?

[heartgarfunkel]

I enjoyed the fact that the last Scottish International Brigade volunteer who passed away this year was a Hearts fanatic - a Sellick minded [filter edit] at my work almost stated it was impossible! In his warped mind, anyone who stood up against fascism and had socialist ideals just had to be a follower of Brother Walfrid's self-righteous band of hooped moral crusaders. Or the lochend small soccer warrior poets. I think Che would have enjoyed a conversation with oor Tommy Walker, a man of intellect, reason and decency, far more than with any of these Parkhead spanners.

[i8hibsh]

They really are quite pathetic

 

I'm surprised they dont wave Mandella flags and Mother Teresa banners

 

Anything to try and make their halo's shine brighter

 

What a pathetic bunhc they truly are!

 

Next Rangers will have a john smeaton banner:confused:

Most of them just do it because they are as fecking thick as s h i t in the neck of a bottle

[upthehill]

He is clearly celtic minded when you realise that he is, in fact, brain dead.

[Groatallar]

Guys you are all wrong - I'm pretty sure he was quoted in the Daily Record as saying

'I've always wanted to play for Celtic'

[Boris]

He is clearly celtic minded when you realise that he is, in fact, brain dead.

 

Just like Maggie almost is now?

 

I found the irony of ra sellic and the way they try to square their circle of Marxist revolutionary/devout RC at that semi final we had against them.

 

Wanting a minutes silence for the recently deceased Pope, yet flying flags (tricolours) with Bobby Sands face on them.

 

Didn't seem right to me....

[Dr Ian Malcolm]

Che Guevara has his pseudo-marxist politics in common with the IRA/Sinn Fein.

Aye, but did he chose to play for them or Argentina?

[Ulysses]

interestingly, he's also from part Irish stock.

 

Correct. His real name was Shay, but he changed it because "Che" was much better for pulling.

[Deek]

A lot more were criminals, drug dealers, psychotics, and general all-round small time organised crime type "hoods".

 

A bit like the Pitch Fork murderers then.

[Scallywag]

Che's mother was Irish.

 

I don't have any idea what that has to do with Celtic football club !!!

[AlanB]

Guys you are all wrong - I'm pretty sure he was quoted in the Daily Record as saying

'I've always wanted to play for Celtic'

 

I believe this to be true, also as a boy growing up in Argentina the young Che was a member of the "Buenos Aires Shamrock" sellick supporters club and played the big drum in the Fray Bentos Brigade Republican Flute Band.

[K1874M]

Dont you mean the Bowie Knife murderers

It was, but they couldent find the pitchforks at the farm for some reason.

Wasnt there some one who admitted to it all?

[Only a Game]

The Provisional IRA were gradually cast adrift by the real politcial thinkers in the republican movement around the time of the Brighton bombings when the more radical amongst the political wing realised that the politcal aims could not be achieved through terrorism, no matter the level of atrocity or the success of individual acts against the British the crown. In fact the worse the atrocity, the less likely the aims would be to be achieved.

 

Within a couple of years, drug dealing, previously frowned upon by the Provisional IRA, at pain of knee capping, became actively encouraged, well organised, and the major source of "fundraising" although by then the fundraising was primarily being used to line the top boys pockets.

 

Adams and co continued to support the IRA until even they realised that the political aims of the movement would be achieved by a simple accident of the birth rate amongst the RC population in about 15 - 20 years time.(when the RC population in the North will be in the democratic majority).

[Mr Quagmire]

Any particular reason why the Mhanks always have a banner of him at Parkhead?

 

Because they actually think its a picture of Billy Connolly.

[jamboinglasgow]

Che's mother was Irish.

more likely to be a Man Utd fan.

[Toggie88]

Does anyone else find it ironic that they support all of these different struggles, and revolutionarly movements...yet don't seem to care a bit about the one in their own country.

 

The Old Firm are ****ed up, everything about those clubs are rotten to core. We should just get them to feck asap.

it is the bizarre that the club that claims to help and champion minorities is a huge destructive majority in Scotland, but of course the whole of Scotland is out to get them.

[Deek]

3 Scottish soldiers were jailed for it.
