I think it's kind of different with Celtic and Rangers. Everybody knows what they are about, the history, the politics. They aren't football clubs, they are institutions. If you support Celtic you are going to get labelled a certain way just as if you support Rangers. Until fan groups of both clubs say they've had enough and cut it out of their club ethos then even "honest" fans who only support them because their da does or because it actually is their local team are going to get caught up in it. Both clubs even play on it, Celtic are forever slapping Irish tricolour's on their jerseys and the Rangers third kit this season sports half a Union flag. You could have seen this incident coming a mile off.

There's a 30 odd page topic on a main a Celtic forum right now about it, some people are embarrassed about it but a lot of people are delighted with it. Here's just a few examples.


'**** the British army and their silence.

Up the rebels.'


'I am scottish and have no affinity with Ireland. I don't look out for the ROI score or hope they do well in tournaments. I understand it part of our roots but apart from that I have zero affection for the irish.

However...all this fake outrage over a few wideos from people who are ****ing DYING for this to happen is ****ing disgusting.

Why the **** SHOULD they be told what to do. Their money is the same as anyone elses so if yhey dont want to show respect then thats up to them.

****ing stupid to have war and football mixed together. I can picture Aberdeen rubbing their hands at the lovely trap they've set the stupid fenians.

I used to feel a bit embarrassed when our fans broke the silence. Now I really could not give a **** if they do.

**** the huns and their fake celebrations of war and good on our support for refusing to be manipulated.'


'Not by choice as the majority of Celtic fans do not want to be British'

'Oh how I long for the days when we had collections for the hunger strikers outside the ground and the whole stadium belted out A Soldiers Song with pride.

What the hell is happening to our great club?'
