The GB (and the Bhoys) haven’t fathomed out yet that:

Sing Celtic songs and everyone can join in

Sing IRA/Davie Cooper songs and only some will

So, stick to Celtic songs and the GB will get the improved atmosphere they’re looking for. Sorted 👍

Thoughts on the demands from the Green Brigade yesterday?

I sit next to the GB and have done so for 14 years. I have never heard them sing the Davie Cooper song.

cowabunga1-2.bsky.social•39 days ago

The sweetie paper rustlers are getting all indignant about the green brigade. Kind of sad.

onceatim67.bsky.social•39 days ago

Classic avoidance of the point. Kind of sad.

cowabunga1-2.bsky.social•39 days ago

Fwiw there are some green brigade songs I prefer over others, but who am I to tell them what to sing? Or who are you for that matter? They have been a massive positive force for the stadium and I think they do a brilliant job.

onceatim67.bsky.social•39 days ago

I didn’t think u got the point

stairheedrammy.bsky.social•39 days ago

Do you have an approved song sheet and I will pass it to them?

cowabunga1-2.bsky.social•39 days ago

Well you posted a factually incorrect statement so it’s better avoided no?

onceatim67.bsky.social•39 days ago

Did I? Explain?

cowabunga1-2.bsky.social•39 days ago

Can you show me them singing the Davie cooper song?

onceatim67.bsky.social•39 days ago

I also sit near them and have heard them sing it.

Have you heard them sing IRA songs?

I didn’t think they’d been going 14 years?

stairheedrammy.bsky.social•39 days ago

They have been going since 2006 and I spent a couple of seasons in the section when it was further back in 111. They haven't sung that song and the Irish songs are part of the clubs traditions. If you don't like them don't sing them.

onceatim67.bsky.social•39 days ago

I don’t. Just like most fans don’t. That’s the point.

IRA songs are part of the clubs traditions. Ur having a laugh.

2006. Time flies right enough.

stairheedrammy.bsky.social•39 days ago

Irish political songs are part of the clubs traditions and have been since we formed. Are you new to Celtic?

onceatim67.bsky.social•39 days ago

I’ll ask again. Irish Republican “Army” songs? Note the distinction.

erlno1.bsky.social•38 days ago

Rebel songs not an issue for me but the DC song is disgusting

onceatim67.bsky.social•38 days ago

Rebel songs! Be brave. Say pro IRA songs aren’t an issue for u

erlno1.bsky.social•38 days ago

Nothing about bravery nothing wrong with pro IRA songs rebel songs call it what you want

timthecelticfan.bsky.social•38 days ago

There’s a difference - Grace is a rebel song - ooh aah up the RA is a pro IRA song.

The armed rebellion died with the Good Friday agreement. What’s left is thugs and gangsters.

The goal, a united Ireland, will be won peacefully - violence is not the way and should not be condoned.

thebhoys.bsky.social•38 days ago

Oh ah up the ra

onceatim67.bsky.social•38 days ago

Oh look the daftie is up 😂😂

thebhoys.bsky.social•37 days ago

Seems you have been up for a while 👍☘️

indybhoy.bsky.social•38 days ago

100%👏👏👏👏

searriagh67.bsky.social•37 days ago

Your mention of the DC song. I stand in section 111. Have been there since GB formed I have heard that once, and it wasn't sung by the GB, but was quickly drowned out by them. Don't make out that it is some kind of regular occurrence at Celtic park because in my experience it is far from it

onceatim67.bsky.social•37 days ago

In the spirit of moving on I’ll state categorically that I have never heard at CP or any away ground the GB or the Bhoys sing a derogatory song about Davie Cooper or any other dead former Rangers player or manager. 👍

searriagh67.bsky.social•37 days ago

Pro IRA songs have been part of the fan repertoire for as long as there has been an IRA, and before that we sang songs about the Fenians. The inaugural meeting of Celtic was closed by singing God Save Ireland.

onceatim67.bsky.social•37 days ago

Read my post and you’ll be see I’m not arguing with that

searriagh67.bsky.social•36 days ago

My interpretation of your post is that, in your opinion the majority of the crowd do not want to join in with Republican songs sang by the GB/Bhoys. Is that not correct?

onceatim67.bsky.social•36 days ago

More simply

The GB want more people to sing

So sing songs more people will sing

onceatim67.bsky.social•36 days ago

There r degrees of Republican songs. Grace-yes. Overtly IRA songs-no. And it’s not don’t want to I think the evidence is the majority just dont sing them. So if the GB/bhoys, me, you and I would think every Celtic fan want a better atmosphere then the IRA songs should be replaced with Celtic songs.

searriagh67.bsky.social•36 days ago

There is a degree of mental gymnastics in that post that Fianna Fail/Fianna Gael would be proud of. Joseph Plunkett and Grace Gifford were proponents of violent Irish Republicanism. Yet you claim singing about them is different from singing about the Price sisters for example.

onceatim67.bsky.social•36 days ago

I don’t claim it. It’s a fact. Celtic fans will sing it and in fact the club will play it.
At the end of the day the GB have identified a problem I agree with. I’ve proposed and explained a solution. What’s yours?

falcarragh-csc.bsky.social•36 days ago

Seriously what a clown

onceatim67.bsky.social•36 days ago

Wow. The deep thinker is here.

falcarragh-csc.bsky.social•38 days ago

I have no problem with the irish songs either #letthepeoplesing

onceatim67.bsky.social•38 days ago

I love Irish songs. Molly Malone is a particular favourite.

falcarragh-csc.bsky.social•39 days ago

I have never heard the DC song, I sit at the opposite end, where do you sit

stairheedrammy.bsky.social•38 days ago

I sit near the GB and have never heard them sing it.

joedea.bsky.social•38 days ago

I am near the Bhoys and they sing it often. Dump it

onceatim67.bsky.social•38 days ago

I was beginning to think it was just me!

drkyogo.bsky.social•38 days ago

I haven't heard it much at home games, certainly not from the green brigade specifically. Tends to be random folk imo. Did hear it at one of the away games recently, pretty loud sang by a fair number.

606alfieconn.bsky.social•38 days ago

Ross County game was a fair number

drkyogo.bsky.social•38 days ago

That's the game I was thinking of. A really shit song.
