Celtic v St Mirren SPFL PREMIERSHIP 1/11/23

[shull]

Prediction

2-1 to the Super Saints.

[W6er]

Are all the tickets definitely sold out for this? 

[faraway saint]

IF we beat Celtic we'd be 5 points behind them with a game in hand.

Just saying. 😉

Pump them 3-0 with Stav Nahmani getting a hat trick.

The GB losing their shit over an opposing player being an Israeli could be box office.

Yes wonder if the Celtic winger is really injured....looks like they got over Bobby Sands

I'll answer my own question - the club's website has stated that we have sold out our generous allocation of 300 tickets with an unrestricted view. There remained, this morning, a further 100 tickets which are essentially behind a pillar...for a bargain basement price of £30. 🤪

I'm going for a barn storming 2 each draw. 1 red card each and a fox to invade the pitch. @faraway saintwhat's the odds on that including the fox 🤣

I've been up all night, still trying to get the odds on this......the fox is proving to be problematic. 😉

Plenty seats available now

Green Brigade banned

About time they took a stand against that mob , the displays against Remembrance Day etc are disgusting , not going to tell me that some taking part didn’t have ancestors that were in the world wars unless everyone of them came over from Ireland.

I don't agree. What would be disgusting would be to stifle their right to free speech and expression. Celtic were founded as an Irish Republican club. 

Quote

As seen in the extract from the handbook, Celtic invited Michael Davitt to perform the penultimate action of the day, when he laid the first sod of shamrock smothered turf, imported from the town of Mullachdubh in Donegal. Michael Davitt was the founder of the Irish National Land League and had served 15 years in a Dartmoor prison for ‘Irish Republican agitation’ and ‘gun running’.

That was the man they appointed their patron! 

Ironically, the Palestinian display is probably the only one of theirs I would have endorsed. I understand from Twitter that it ultimately comes down to a fear of losing advertising and sponsorship revenue. How sad that is what the club has become.

This "free speech" pish really rattles my cage.

Utter fcukwits use it as a way to spread hatred and utter bile.

If someone, or group, are spreading this type of shite they deserve to be banned.

Not a remnant of football in their veins.

I think you would like North Korea...three generations of a family can be punished there for a single family speaking out of turn! 

This is probably not the place to have this discussion.

 

My prediction: Celtic 3 Saints 0

Typical response quoting an extreme case, or in this case, regime. 

If this green brigade REALLY believe in the cause the like to bring to a football match, which IS THE WRONG PLACE, they should use the normal lines of protest.

My prediction, no sure yet, I'll wait till tomorrow night. 

[Albanian Buddy]

Have you @W6er read the full description of the reasons of the ban?

No, though I'm guessing it's going to highlight the most egregious aspects of the protest, such as a single flag which purportedly represents Hamas, or something?

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of your speech.

Everybody is free to say what they want, when they want and where they want. If what they say gets them banned from somewhere, charged with something or kicked in the somethings then that is part of the price of freedom of speech.

[Albanian Buddy]

All that was missing was a GIRFUY “Hail Hail” at the end 😂 

Is there not a splitter faction of the GB called “The Bhoys”? 

I think this decision may help us tomorrow night as there will be protests outside about this decision. Don’t forget that the GB have been very unhappy in the past resulting in protests against their team when Lennon was manager and they failed in their 10 in a row challenge. 

I hope we pump them!

Marchin on to the title! COYS

[Slarti]

All that then "Best wishes"!!!! [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

I see, so North Korea also has freedom of speech...you're free to say what you like there, but the consequences are three generations of your family will be interned for life in a slave labour camp or killed.

Yeah that really made me chuckle. 

I can only imagine that was Chairman Lawwell.

No, North Korea has laws against free speech. They specify things that you're not allowed to say. Here it's a more generic "likely to incite" sort of thing. Even then, you are still free to say them and take your chances in court if charged.

Good on Celtic FC for taking action against the GB.

If only the other half of the ugly sisters would take similar action against the singing of mindless sectarian songs as wintnessed on their recent visit to the SMISA Stadium. Apparently they find it quite acceptable for their fans to be singing in earshot of national TV cameras ....."up to our knees in ******** blood".

Yet again the football and police authorities also choose to turn a deaf ear to this bile - I wonder why that is.
