The increasingly annoying rise of the social media Celtic fan; Price to pay for being the new 'establishment club'?

I think the threat became real when the tarpaulin was peeled back from the upper tiers. Before then - the threat was benevolent, not-real, and confined to the virtual-online world. But when those sheets got stripped back to reveal the seats of shame - a tide of vermin poured into the stadium. The threat was no longer imagined - they were coming. In fact, some of them are here - it's real. If we're not careful and do something the guy sitting next to you at Parkhead next season might still have his lycra on. Or worse, he may be wearing hiking boots. There have already been saltires spotted inside the stadium during European games. This is the Celtic equivalent of finding mice droppings under your sink. If we don't do something quick - our club will turn into a nest for these people.
*a chill goes down the spine*
If I remember correctly, Only an Excuse did something along these lines some years ago, where they had Jonathan Watson playing their stereotypical Celtic fan, eulogising about the scenes in the stadium in Seville in 2003, [paraphrasing] "...a great sea of green and white, thousands of fans in their hoops, waving Celtic flags and Irish tricolours and there, in the middle of it all, a single Scottish saltire...wasting it for everybody!"

So three Celtic Das would be a Trio?*

Back on topic...
(Engage serious mode)
FFS, it's Twitter (and/or Facebook which I eschew)
There are zoomers everywhere, and technology allows us to step into the limelight for a second, possibly get attention, and then disappear.
Some make money out of it.

If you're going to get precious over some less than erudite kid bamming up some celeb or other, or trolling some site on a whataboutery mission, then maybe you're not doing it right?
You don't need to use it. You don't need to read things you don't agree with. You don't need to follow folk.

The effwittery evident in replies to perceived slants isn't exclusively a Celtic thing.
Some threads I've seen on innocent subjects can produce the same ignorance and hilarity as any other.
Just check the replies to ANYTHING Trump has tweeted to see that it's a global phenomenon.

Tweet by someone/something well known stating some "fact"
Reply by one or more people disputing said fact by quoting some other fact.
Replies by others saying "Good fact" or "shampooe".
Replies by others quoting stats sites or a link to such.
Replies by others consisting of whichever GIF satisfies their emotional reaction to the reply that suits their point of view.
And so on until the next fact is stated by some other person and the circus rolls into town again.

The problem with Twitter is that it's mostly polarised if ever an argument comes up. No room for debate, just "GIRUYe", "Naw GIRUYouuuuu","Ma da's", "Yer maw" etc.

However I'd be lost without Twitter as a news feed. I don't invest time in reading shampooe, and if you've read this post thus far, then you probably do, so good luck to you in your Twitter rage!

































*Only real Celtic Das will get that.
shampoo that's me then. #CasioCSC :lol: At least I fit in somewhere.

A close relation to the absolute weapons who suggest we get a blue or orange strip to show how little we care about the huns.

She's the type, that cannae watch the Huns game or listen to the tranny whilst it's on, and just parades around the house saying a Rosary for the duration of the 90 mins.

If it's a cup final , the Novena starts nine days before it.

Maybe stick to the relationship patter, Belgrano.

Referring to Celtic fans as "sub-human scum" would be enough to get many posters a holiday.
There are posters openly discussing buying tickets to Ed Sheeran in Entertainment mate.

Guys that call Sinclair " Sinky"

Instant ban. There's plenty of names you could call him.

And you've used most of them. :lol:
