The Don Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Listening to Real Radio, i know i know ill take the flak for it, but decided to tune in to hear whats being said about the manks digracefull decision to applaud today instead of respect a minutes silence. Fair play to Ewan for once he is saying it as it is and that its an utter disgrace. Even cut one manky septic off the phone. Everyone in this country that is appalled by celtic decision to applaud today should be making as much noise about this as possible in the media. This is not for point scoring. I would feel the same no matter what club did this for those reasons. I think it is an utter disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want "celtic's shame" creating a sideshow wit***** and giving a few mindless individuals in their support the publicity they crave. We can all get on with respecting the people who fought and died for us, after all that is what it is about, not about silences or football team's or minority groups extremist opinions.

Sherlock Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I can see, and agree with, the argument to celebrate someone's passing by appluading their life and achievements. But to have a minutes applause instead of silence during a time of reflection for those that gave their life in defence of our freedoms and liberties (about 1,000,000 in the Great War alone) is reprehensible. This is not the time to celebrate their life's but to reflect on their sacrifices. Celtic should not have bowed to any faction within their support hellbent on disrupting the minutes silence, minority or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not all the same -- and he is proving it. I was pleasantly surprised when he started speaking, I half expected the same sort of stuff that we've heard a zillion times before but the man sounded genuinely ashamed of the whole affair.... Nobody's doubting anyone else's right to protest against things they don't agree with (even if their logic is a tad warped) but the way in which they responded to the situation is what shows them up. If small pockets of fans had enough time to organise any sort of protest, the club themselves also had enough time to communicate with them and tell them what was considered to be expected behaviour. Fact is that they would have made themselves look like cretinous idiots, so they took what may well have been the best approach in terms of damage limitation. So they just look like sneaky, stupid, disrespectful idiots instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 A huge amount of the septic support are **** and this just shows them up for what they are. The supporters of other clubs should demand that they are removed from scottish football and let them play in the country that they appear to have a love affair with. They have given themselves the tag as best fans which everyone in scottish football knows is a lot of rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't agree with something, pick a point and go for it...otherwise you just look like you're being a gratuitously argumentative sod. In response to your point, I can only suggest that the difference between the two situations is that tomorrow, we're very unlikely to witness any disrespectful behaviour - and for me, it's the act of respect that underpins remembrance.

Yes I do, a vocal minority Everyone always claims its a majority, however I bet loads of us know hundreds of celtic and rangers fans and very few will act like this thus proving it is a minority. Unfortunately I think that rememberance day is abused by two sets of people, and not just celtic, the other side are just as bad in their empty over gestures just to wind up the other side. for example, rangers parading of war veterans at Ibrox last week, imo that was simply to stoke the profitable fires of bigotry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
