Why don't you join the GB forum if you expect dialogue?

Mac_bhoy isn't here to do a Q&A, he gives people on here information on what the GB are up to, not opinions, and it's appreciated by many.
In not interested in joining the gb forum. I am interested in this forum however and discussing things on here.

It's great mac_bhoy acts as a representative for the gb on here however with that comes the responsibility of being the face for the group. Imo he doesn't handle himself well on occasions when people raise legitimate concerns.

If he's not willing to take the criticism and engage with people then the gb may want to get another representative.

Edit to say I said earlier I wasn't interested I n making things personal as they conversations tend to get so it's best to leave it
for someone not wanting to make it personal, you seem to be making it personal!!!

my view, macbhoy is on the KDS forum for the same reason the rest of us are on here, the fact that he has something to do with the GB is neither here nor there. I don't recall him ever claiming to be a spokesman for the GB, but as he is privy to the doings of the GB and as the fans on here are interested in what is happening with the GB, then he provides a service to us.

As has been said earlier, if anyone has an issue with banners being flown / not being flown, songs being sung that they aren't happy with, the answer lies in their own hands - create a banner and bring it to the game and sing over the songs you don't like. I keep reading that the GB aren't bigger than the club (I don't think they claim to be) - this is absolutely correct, but the fans that have an issue with the GB, should do something positive about it and not just moan about them. As far as I'm aware there is no ban in bringing in flags to any part of the ground and no ban on singing, so do something positive and make the GB just some of the fans. if you can't or won't do anything, then you're going to have to accept that the GB are going to be the focal point of the Celtic support.

People on here don't raise "legitimate concerns". All I see anytime I look in is people calling the GB, and by association, Mac Bhoy, NEDs, weans, not real Celtic fans etc...
I raised legitimate concerns. I'm constantly amazed how tolerant the GB are. I'd tell them to take a flying eff to themselves the sanctimonious prigs. . Set up your own effing group. Get in some Save the Daily Mail banners. A few flegs with Jeremy Kyle on them. A set of indoor fireworks. Knock yourselves out.

Exactly. Lazy winkers think it's a phone in. Excuse me I raised a legitimate complaint.....

There's literally no point in continuing this conversation. Nobody is going to agree.

Some think on occasions he doesn't deal with criticism the correct way other never see anything wrong with the gb.

Conversations on the gb should be put right next to Irish politics on the banned list
The criticism is entirely one way though, and it's constant. It's laughable to then complain that he doesn't deal with it in the correct way. At no point has he ever criticised anyone in response, as far as I can remember.

Most people are able to judge individual things on their own merits. I've had a go at the GB plenty of times, and I've defended them plenty of times. There are plenty of people who cannot give them any credit, or when they do it's still with a bit of added criticism. And aye, if anyone wants to see a flag at the game, don't greet about someone else not doing it on your behalf.
I agree with you that some, And a select some at that just don't like them but I'm talking about people with genuine critique. I would if your going to put yourself out there as a representative then imo you need to deal with things in the correct manner. Dealing with people correctly who only agree with your opinion isn't the way to do it.

And to be fair the reason that there is none coming the other way is because they dont particularly care what anyone else thinks or does at games if we are honest.

How many banners have the GB produced and out of that amount how many have folk taken umbrage with? The good and the great far, far outweigh the negative yet that's the ones folk are focusing on? Okay then.

It was right though. If someone thought that should've been the display against Linfield, why didn't they make the banner?
It's mental. If people want to have a go at the GB for one of their displays, fair enough. But it's ridiculous to have a go at them for something that wasn't in their display. :lol:

If anyone wanted an LGBT flag against Linfield, they could easily have taken one themselves. Don't blame other people for not doing it on your behalf.
And I wonder if saying this also says they should 'keep politics out of football'.

There's plenty of talking to me.

I don't get what the problem is saying that someone who puts themselves forward as the rep for a group has to deal with critism better rather give it the eff you attitude.

I've no real problem with the gb - they do wonderful things and some things that aren't to my taste I certainly don't get uptight about them or get offended by them like others do.

I don't recall macbhoy claiming to be the representative for the GB- maybe you could point out to me when he did?
He comes on here and gives updates to what the GB are doing.
If you want to indulge in a question and answer discussion with the GB, perhaps you should go to the GB webpage, or meet them in the social club before our next home game?

Again, if mac_bhoy is being seen as the GB rep on here, the the abuse the GB get on here should be seen as personally aimed at him... right?

In which case, the abuse he gets is far outweighed by any perceived lack of niceties in his responses - none of which actually resort to abuse.

He can defend himself well enough, but those having a go at him can't have it both ways.

Edit for quoting eff up

I'm not sure he's ever claimed to be a representative of the GB? In any case, if he is their representative, then surely projecting an 'eff you attitude' would be an entirely appropriate representation of a group that projects an 'eff you attitude' (which I'm fine with, for the record)
