Thread: Celtic plan ban for poppy protest

Celtic aim to ban those found responsible for a giant anti-poppy banner displayed at the weekend.

Expect nothing else from the spineless PLC board.
They put the poppy on the hoops without asking the fans for an opinion,
Lawwell said there'd be no poppies this year at one of his much publicised meet and greet sessions. Liars and cowards. Fuck em.

I wasn't there myself , but i doubt he said that .

What i believe he said was "We got caught out last year, we wont let it happen again"

which is completely different

Then he let it happen again. Except worse.

or he was talking about the green brigade , not the poppy on the shirt and now he has them all in one heavily stewarded area , where he can keep an eye on them and take action if and when he thinks its necessary ...... like now

Fuck me, did we win 9-0 at the weekend? You wouldn't know it. This poppy shit is taking a lot of shine from the fact we dismantled Aberdeen on Saturday. Fuck this poppy debate and let's get back to the matter at hand, which is Celtic.

The poppy issue is important, as is freedom to protest when you disagree with an international symbol of hatred. The brits hav committed the worlds worst atrocities all through history and most decent thuman beings find them offensive. Now the team are told to wear them by the Bastard War Criminal John Reid! He has aslo insulted everyone by making a big show of it an issue with the media when his views don't match the fans.

Welcome....and goodbye.

If you're so anti British army, go picket a barracks.

Celtic Trust statement re the Poppy
Celtic Football Club was established by Irish immigrants in Scotland. Its founders instigated a club that would forthwith be open to players and supporters regardless of ethnic, national and religious background. Our supporters include people who have a broad range of community and national backgrounds and histories and all are welcomed into the Celtic family thus enriching our cultural environment.

Mindful of the variations in how war can be understood, interpreted and remembered and sensitive to the multiple experiences and perceptions of those that constitute the Celtic community as well as beyond, the Celtic Trust has been against the forced and manipulative nature of poppy wearing in latter years, not least amongst the football community in Scotland. We are particularly against the practice of using the team shirt to promote this symbol and we welcome the news that this practice will end this year. We note that a broad public debate appears to be opening up on this question and that other individuals and organisations outwith football are concerned about the coercive atmosphere around the wearing and display of poppies.

We further note with dismay the demonising of those people who exercise their right to free speech and dissent on this question and we oppose any action which may be taken against anyone who chooses to peacefully demonstrate their point of view, whether in a football ground or elsewhere.

Close enough on the money for me

Wonder how many good Irishmen and women work in the BBC? Do you think they're up in arm(oops) over all the broacasters wearing a poppy?
