Rawrrrrrrr Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 They should have done the right thing or nothing at all. Celtic FC are a bunch of hypocrites and I would love to think that at some point someone , somewhere will have a chance to take John Reid to task and ask him why Celtic FC are embarrassed about having a minutes silence on Armistice Day. C'mon Salmond : speak up for Scotland. You clearly just want to embarass celtic as to actually being bothered about the events from my reading of that post. Imo that is just about as bad as what a minority of celtic fans would have done/did do. Abusing rememberance day to win brownie points over celtic is quite sad really and just shows that you are every bit as disrespectful as their fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Palmer Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 In my opinion, applause is absolutely inappropriate and a minutes silence should be made the norm. I don't think these people know their history and the numerous people from Great Britain and Ireland that took part and were killed in the 1914-18 war. Any chance that we could nuke the Thellick supporters? I think they stand against everything British and as such... (of course, I am reluctant in mentioning the word 'treason' which would bring the death penalty). I think they will be treated as heroes which they will be regardless of the overwhelming amount of evidence otherwise. Do not attempt to dress this up as a triumph from Cellick fans.

The Don Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 So you would prefer a silence which was booed? And your last point, sadly I think thats exactly why some people are outraged, not because it happened, but because they will now not be able to go with the celtic booed the silence stance This is the last time i will respond to you because quite clearly you havent the intellect to discuss matters and see points without trying to develop threads into an argument. Im judging that not solely on this thread i have read a lot of threads where inevetibly you seem to turn it into an argument and a chance to have a go at fellow Jambos. Bo i would not like a silence to be booed, however to change what has been in plave for decades to accomodate ONE club because of its sectarian/bigotted views is disgracefull. The very fact the SFA/SPL allowed celtic this oppertunity to applaud is disgracefull. The fact Celtic went ahead with an applause is disrespectfull. Do you know why it is called rememberence day? Remembering the millions who have died fighting for this country to allow us and give us the freedom we have today, if it wasn't for those millions there is every chance we would not be on here now discussing this. It is not an applause in CELEBRATION of life but a silence to reflect on the millions that died to give you and everyone other person their freedom.

redm Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I think a minutes applause today was better than allowing the minority of celtic fans to destroy the silence yes. Sad situation maybe but I strongly believe that a few on this forum are just upset that celtic didnt get a silence to boo as opposed to their not being a silence. Rubbish. If people were determined to get up in arms about Celtic's behaviour this weekend, the fact that they applauded is every bit as good a reason as booing would have been. If you can't understand why people would be irritated by their actions (either actual or anticipated), I don't know what anyone can possibly say to you.

jambopompey Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 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 i offered you in a simular thread about celtic and their as you call it minority fans to visit winchburgh deep in the middle of west scotl (sorry 5 miles west of edinburgh) and witness 'the best fans in the world' come off their supporters bus, but as usual you have ingnored it. i have already heard it on the news tonight on BBC scotland that a minutes applause was done all over the country, no it was not, it was a minutes silence all over the country bar one ground. the minutes silence is for reflection on those who have made the supreme sacrifice for us to live our lifes in relative peace and freedom. those that lost their lives come from all walks of life, all religious backgrounds, all colours, but you would rather bow down to a few mindless bigots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romanov Stole My Pension Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 There is no way Celtic would have had a successful minute silence, so it was probably the right decision for Celtic as a football club to have a minutes applause. It's definately better to show respect in a non-traditional way than to not respect it all by interupting the silence (although I do think it's terrible that they cannot respect a minutes silence for the men that fought for the country that they live in). The main problem that I have is that there had to be a minutes silence for Pope John Paul II (I completely disagree with any non-footballing minutes silence that affects a minority of football supporters - especially if it's to do with religion which apparently they want to kick out of football!) when the SFA knew that there was no way certain Hearts supporters would respect it.

Cade Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 This is really simple. If a club cannot trust it's fans to keep a minutes silence, the minutes applause may as well be a minute's booing.

husref musemic 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. Well said sir. 100% correct, i'm sick of the constant bending of the rules and norms for the supposed 'minority'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romanov Stole My Pension Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Question for you If the clock was rewound and we could opt for a minutes applause for the pope rather than a silence would you have opted for it? Yes definately. I don't know how I came across in my previous post. Ideally I don't think there should have been anything for Pope John Paul II, especially in a country which is predominantly not Catholic and has so many sectarian problems, but a minutes applause would have been far more appropriate for that game than silence. I personally think that he was a very good man (again whole different thread) and didn't deserve to be treated that way by Hearts supporters, so surely a minutes applause would have allowed those who want to show respect to show respect, and those who don't to be ignored.

Remembrance Day is an event of national importance, and never has been a purely private affair. To criticise people for changing avatars to display poppies is akin to criticising people for wearing poppies. The day we stop remembering the many lives that were, and still are lost in conflict, whatever your view on war, is the day we lose a part of our humanity in my opinion.

To a certain extent, I can appreciate where you're coming from but the remembrance services etc. need to be kept in the public eye and this ultimately involves promotion of some description. In terms of the current uncertainty surrounding our own memorial at Haymarket, it's absolutely essential that as many people as possible are informed so that lots of people turn up and the powers that be are left in no doubt that it's a very special memorial indeed. In these times, even war memorials and remembrance services need to be marketed some way or another. It might seem slightly crass when put like that but it's the only way to ensure that interest continues. I can't speak on behalf of those who are currently 'wearing' poppy avatars of course, just thought I'd chip in whilst we're on the subject. P.S.

Libertonian_II Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Do you believe it is a minority at Celtic (and rangers) who would get involved in such things.? Biggest problem we have in Scotland just now regarding sectarianism/bigots etc is that the authorities go on about the minority at Rangers/Celtic who take part in such things. The quicker they realise that it is the minority(very very small) of Hearts/Hibs/M'well/StMirren/Killie fans etc who indulge in such things but it is a majority when it comes to Celtic/Rangers fans the better. Unfortunately that will not happen as the media in this neck of the woods are too scared/in the pocket of the ugly sisters I came across an article in the daily mirror on whatever day it was, by a columnist who rightly criticised the mhanks for their support of the IRA, but then went to say that the hearts supporters were just as bad because they sang the 'famine' song. So by implication we are just as guilty, even if it was just a small minority, even if that song was sung. I didn't hear it.

portobellojambo1 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I made the same point earlier today. I think it was the right decision. I understand what you are saying dave, but today wasn't about having the choice to stand silent or offer applause. Today, was about reflection, as tomorrow will be. The only way to show respect to the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice, and reflect on exactly what they did for us, is in silence. The groups at Parkhead who organised today's protest hide behind pseudo Irish republican politics, and are vehemently anti Nazi, yet failed to understand the significance of today. They also tarnished the names of those Celtic players and fans who have paid the ultimate sacrifice over the years. For people who steep themselves in history they seem to be very naive with regards to the early history of their own club. For Celtic Football Club to give into them was effectively the club tarnishing themselves, and the aforementioned players and fans no longer with us.

I didn't hear hello hello either, but we're still painted by the media as being bigoted. Mhank minded media deflecting criticism from their own? My advice - don't read leftie rags!! The "fashionable" establishment hate everything to do with Britain....but they will be crushed eventually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
