Maybe you should worry more about the shite atmosphere at Ibrox and working on improving it somehow instead of looking over at us and trying to get offended at something that doesn't affect you. And the are dangerous and banned from football grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did I say I was offended? They're banned from football grounds for good reason. I'm quite happy for the Celtic fans to get their club into trouble yet again. Kind of puts the "greatest fans in the world" guff to bed though, as they can't really claim that when they need banned fireworks for atmosphere.

Usually the only people I ever hear use the term "greatest fans in the world" about Celtic fans, are non Celtic fans funnily enough. So I don't think anything needs put to bed. Our support shites all over Sevco's though, as does our team and to be perfectly honest with you that is all I care about.

Mox Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The display today and then the flares and the smoke bombs, tremendous. We are leading the way in british football in terms of particpation. Can't wait till we give those no voting teuchtars a right pumpin next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I really don't get the bed wetting about flares at games. Some folk need to stop being offended about everything. I thought the display was cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the display did look good, but a bit dodgy with the flares so close to the plastic sheeting (at least that's what it looked like) Also, was it not a bit shit for the people in that section when the sheeting was put down a few minutes before the 67th minute totally blocking their view of the game - I know yourself & at least one other on here are in that section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have a problem with it if it was every weekend or done in a game that's on a knife edge but yesterday was a carnival type atmosphere so I was fine with it. And even then, folk had plenty of notice in which they could have moved for a few minutes. I think the plastics sheets were more being used to cover the folk doing pyro rather than being a necessary part of the display tbh It seemed to have went down well with most fans, even ones who normally like to have a moan about that kind of stuff.

I hadn't seen it, looked it up there. Was quite good. Seems to have got a relatively positive reaction from the press too. "pyro-packed" and "filled the ground with a light smoke" were 2 particularly uncharacteristic lines used to describe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my reaction is irrational as modern stadiums aren't the wooden tinder-boxes we were in back then, but it makes me uncomfortable all the same. More rationally, smoke gets in your eyes ...

In my time following Celtic, from 1993 onwards, it most certainly is. Not just the Scottish players either, you'd think guys like Lustig and Izzaguire grew up in Royston, Coatbridge or Port Glasgow the way they embrace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
