0% Villa - Classless Celtic supporters

[AV82EC]

I'm happy for them to display their banners as we live in a free country but you do have to say who won them the right to retain their frredom of speech.  All thats being asked is to show a bit of respect.

i think this was from last year about 1.09

Seems they have a "bit of a record" for being classless twats.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I'm amazed that the H&V paradox hasn't been invoked, where at least one person sticks up for something indefensible and congratulates the Celtic supporters.
I always imagine that if you had a 'Hitler was a shit' thread in off topic, a few would sing his praises.

Whether you agree with the Poppy Appeal or not, it's a sensitive issue that can so easily offend, so why not simpy ignore it as opposed to protesting against it, especially as it's not something that actually hurts anyone?

I agree - classless and stupid!

[PeterWithe]

It will never cease to amaze me why some seem so keen to publish youtube videos so the world can see them and their mates looking utter bell ends.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I can't belive they all didn't get thrown out for something like that

[darren woolley]

Just a bunch  of fcking wa***rs.

I was going to post this today but 'markus' beat me to it!

My Brother-in-law was at the game yesterday as an Aberdeen fan and he told me about this last night. To be honest I was not in the least bit surprised as they had previously shown contemptuous behaviour towards Simon Weston last year. Celtic fans need to be reminded that Scotland is still part of Great Britain.

They are a classless bunch indeed but I think they just crave the free press that this story provides. Every club has their imbeciles but Celtic seem to reign supreme on that front.

Morons. Over 50,000 Irish Catholics died in the First World War fighting for Britain in the hope of winning self government for Ireland. More Irish died fighting for Britain than ever died fighting against Britain.

It disgusts me to see them wave the tricolour at matches. It's a flag representing Green and Orange and the white stands for peace between them. Most of the idiots have probably never been to Ireland yet embarrass the hell out of us with their sectarianism etc. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't wear a poppy and wouldn't be a huge fan of the British army based on stuff that happened in the past in Ireland yet I recognise that it was on the right side in both world wars. The past is the past and there's no use raking over it again and again. Also I prefer to recognise the similarities between the British and Irish and think the British are a fair people who are home to the club that I've supported all my life!

[Jimbo]

Perhaps Celtic fans would have been happier if the British army had drawn a ring around Parkhead and handed it over to the Nazis instead of fighting against them for the benefit of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Europe, the world...etc.

Wankers indeed.

Sky News have just reported that Celtic FC has apologised for the behaviour of its fans for displaying such appalling behaviour.

[cdward]

Last year i was in a pub in Dublin watching the Villa with fellow Villa fans and some Celtic supporters starting having a go because we were supporting a "British" club and we should be ashamed, when i pointed out to them in a language they would understand that Celtic is in fact a "British" club and not Irish they didn't seem too impressed.
There is this strange misconception that Celtic is an Irish club, i know Irish lads who support Arsenal, Manure etc that will wear a Celtic jersey on holiday, the same way that people wear England tops abroad.
 
I know a lot of decent lads who follow Celtic, including family members, but this small minded bigotry really needs to be stamped out, before it grows too much.
As someone said, i would hate to see either of Celtic/Rangers in the PL because of the amount of hassle they would bring with them.

[Lee]

What a bunch of fucking idiots.

Exactly!.

Thought that we have passed all of this. There are many Irishmen from North and South and also many of their descendants that have served in the Armed Forces. There were lots of Irishman that served in the 2 World Wars fighting against the views such  as these.

Yes there is recent history, but there Poppies are becoming more popular in Ireland to remember their War Dead and many Irish people working/living over here that are also wearing them to show a mark of respect.

Want they going to do next, burn an effigy of Louis Walsh?

<I>Want they going to do next, burn an effigy of Louis Walsh</I>

Wouldn't we all agree with that?
