well m8 as a person who has lost uncles and my grandfather though war, i would like the green brigade or whatever they are called, put on an island with no support from uk troops an let the rest of the world go there an do what they want wi them. its a total insult to men nah boys that have given up their lives for freedom. they ought to hang their heads in shame, never having witnessed the horror of war. cant tell you how angry i am about this

Banned from all future games in Scotland for a none abusive banner???

Fans who fight, riot, shout racist remarks, sing bigoted and racist songs should not be??? but fans who unveil a none abusive banner should be???

Is this not a democratic, free country 5life? or do you think sport & politics don't mix?

Ps I'm sure living in Scotland you know who the Green Brigade are. Like the Blue Order at Rangers & the Ultras at Aberdeeen they are a 'singing section' if you like, a fans group that sit together bring flags & banners into the stadium and sing all game.

Oh and by the way like many/most people living in the UK members of my family fought against the facist Nazi's in the 2 world wars.

sorry for the double post, but the more i think about this the more angry i get. all british troops deserves respect. ok maybe some wars are not right in the great scheme of things. but our troops go where they are told (im ex r n) and do a fine job, and a bunch of hand knitted, peg rugged hippys dis our armed forces and spit on our dead pisses me off big time. just give me 5 mins wi one of these mo fos grrrr

and this is not about rangers or celtic i dont give a shit, its about respect

while it not be racist ! It still is disgusting from point of view! All because they pay for the tickets... Means they are allowed to act like this? Just out of interest do you agree with them?

Sorry mate. Not trying to wind you up, but this is a democracy.

I have never said that this was a Celtic or Rangers thing. And just to pick you on on your belief that "all british troops deserve respect". So the troops that carried out the 2 bloody sundays in Ireland derserve respect!???? I will not even go into some of the other atrocities committed by 'some' British troops in Ireland.

All british & allied troops fighting in the 2 world wars deserve all our respect and thanks for ever, for what they did in defeating the evil nazi tyranny. But to say that all British troops fighting in all conflicts derseve respect - I just can't agree with you there & that is the point what I think the green brigade was trying to make.

**lfc4life** · 8 November, 2010, 14:39

well still stains the poppy and to choose a football took alot of thinking! So you are saying cause of bloody sunday and other some acts they were right to do this?

**mattybhoy** · 8 November, 2010, 14:45

In answering your question No, but I don't think they should be banned from watching games in Scotland.

Is it a crime or an arrestable offence to do what they have done? You tell me.

Now will you answer some of my questions?

**lfc4life** · 8 November, 2010, 14:53

well we know that we have the right to freedom of speech! But still not this sort freedom of speech!

**mattybhoy** · 8 November, 2010, 15:09

So what I think your saying is

-
1) This country is a democratic society, the sort of society what the many millions who fought in the world war against the Nazi's were actually fighting to achieve!
2) What these fans did was not a crime or against the law.
3) You don't believe in a democracy of freedom of speech unless it's what you want to hear.

You never did get back to me about the racism, bigotry, roiting and fighting at games. Ok for those such fans to keep coming to football in the UK then??

mattyboy what the hell are you going on about rangers and aberdeen fans for. this disgraceful act was carried out by celtic fans nobody else. its about time the real celtic fans self policed themselves and booed and reported this behaviour. Celtic are a british team playing football in britain whether you accept that or not its a fact. The very freedoms you take for granted are there because of the sacrifices of the british army and all the other various armies who stood up against dictators. Ps check your passport it says you are british so if you dont like it here then go home.

Johnboy the racist.

Look at my previous posts in this thread and try to read them before getting on you high horse. As you and your likes sing the famine song - which is outlawed in Scotland.

Btw I do not have a British passport, so you or wrong again there - but what has that got to do with it anyway????? Is this a British only forum? God you remind me of the old adverts in the 1950's & 60's - Blacks & Irish need not apply. Do you vote BNP by any chance?

**mattybhoy** · 8 November, 2010, 15:42

I knew you were a Rangers fan because of your racist remark Jonyboy, no need to assume there...

Oh you don't answer any of the 3 questions I asked you, but you would like me to answer you?

What question are you referring to? - I ask you again, please read my previous posts on this thread - you will find the answer if you read them.
