0% Villa - Classless Celtic supporters

[Irish villain]

A lot of the "Irish" soldiers were protestant so wont "count" in the eyes of the Green Bridage.

I can understand why they have a bit of a siege mentality though so of the decisions against them have been ridiculous this season.

50,000 Southern Catholic Irish Nationalists died fighting for Britain in the hope of being rewarded with self government. The Republic of Ireland has honoured those men in recent years for their sacrifice. Celtic do not represent mainstream Irish opinion on this matter. They just perpetuate one, narrow, view of our history.

I don't disagree with you.

Ok so the the Celtic fans are classless, what are the Rangers fans who have used the poppy as a tool for point scoring today?

I really fail to see any problem with what's happening in that photo at all. They're certainly not hurting or offending anyone as far as I can tell.

The display is purely a reaction to the Green Brigade banner last week, surely using the poppy to score points is disrespecting those who the flower is there to honour/remind us of?

Are you suggesting that Rangers wouldn't have had some sort of Remembrance Day tribute at the game otherwise?

They're not really known for holding back on that kind of thing regardless of what silly things Celtic supporters have recently been doing.

Im not suggesting at all that Rangers as a club would not have had some sort of tribute, this was however arranged and paid for by fans.

[TheSandman]

Considering Rangers long term support of the armed forces it would have been done anyway.

Has anyone mentioned the anti-poppy songs and crowd trouble at Celtic's match against Hearts?

Football supporters honouring Remembrance is "classless." That's a strange thing to say.

Don't think you're gonna draw any popular support around here with that one.

Rangers always paint themselves as more British than Royal Tunbridge Wells, Churchill and Last Night at the Proms combined whilst Celtic supporters (or some sections of) define themselves by their anti Britishness.

Both are utterly dislikeable but I'm sure it's easier for some to gravitate towards the club that thinks it's Last Night at the Proms and the 12th of July every Saturday afternoon rather than the one signing rebel songs.

Both seem to be stuck somewhere between 1680 - 1920 so If I had my way I'd pack them off to parts of the world with a similar outlook, Burkina Faso, Kazakhstan and Ulaanbaatar would be my choice. With maybe Rangers facing a few cup games in the Falklands, Gibraltar and the overseas territory of Saint Helena. I'm sure they'd love all the bunting and ostentatious displays of  Britishness.

Never said that at all, said using the symbol of Remembrance for point scoring purposes is classless.

Who said they were scoring points? I would imagine getting a display like that together would have taken some time, and have to be started well before Celtic's idiocy.

That's not what they're doing at all.  They're showing their support for veterans and current servicemen.  If, in doing so, Rangers contrast markedly with a section of Celtic's support then that's really only the fault of those Celtic supporters.

The display was arranged after last Saturday.
