Want to add my support to all those who protest. The glorification of the British war machine is not something we should be crediting. 'You can stuff yer feckin poppies up yer arse.' |

What on earth happened to a Celtic support that had a real political edge to it? I think that is the real shame in this. I hope the support shows its quality and makes a real protest of this. For me this is one of those big issues, setting a precedence, the kind of thing that those who want to eradicate all vestiges of anything "different" about the fan base, would test the water about. It was lions led by donkeys back then, and for me it is a duty of people today to stop this kind of nonsense today, and organising a protest about this is one of the right ways to go about it. |

Its a sad reflection on the current sheep-like tendencies of our support that there will be no widespread demonstration against this at the weekend a) because rather surprisingly many people support it and b) many are spineless in believing that if we protest it will be portrayed negatively by the press (which is true, but I for one still have principles). I would encourage everyone to read the thread in KDS as it gave me a rathere depressing insight into the sheep like mentality of many of our support - let's not forget we, on TCE, are not representative of the wider body of Celtic support these days, we are the more enlightened ones I would assert. |

Tried to get my point over to those on the "other" board about this and the singing of Rebs and they just shut up shop on me by locking the threads Ah well! So much for freedom of expression eh?

James Stokes, I suspect, would be turning in his grave - he fought for freedom - this is dictatorship - I have no problem whatsoever if people want to wear a poppy, personally I don't, but that's my choice, just as it's individual choice to wear one - what choice do the players have in this? - none! |

Exactly. :thumbs.up: Doc, I am assuming you are referring to KDS? Not surprised in the least if it is. Mainser, I read that thread too, and I actually had to go out for a walk after it, it depressed me that much.

i don't want to keep sticking the boot into KDS, but it really is a joke of a celtic site. had a look a couple of times there over the last week and there's locked topics all over the shop, discussions getting nipped in the bud and a general shouting down of anyone with a dissenting opinion. if i remember this rightly, the don't even allow discussion of irish politics over there.is that right? strange, strange people. |

just a wee bit for anyone heading up to the match, the ground will be leafleted by TAL before the game. please take a leaflet. there will be a walk-out protest led by the green brigade, and we are being encouraged to follow it or protest in our own way, by turning your back, holding up the leaflet or missing the start. i'm undecided what i'll do yet. |
