While I don't agree with the silly chanting that went on during the minutes silence, I do have a problem with the governments politicising of an event by turning it into a public relations campaign in an effort to gain public support for the illegitimate wars that they have been involved in recently. You're always going to run the risk of a reaction when you force it on people during a football game, particularly when it involves a team like Celtic who have a long history and association with Ireland's plight against British occupation.... you're playing with fire in a situation like that.
