Of course he has a right of protest, but if he choses to make it by interrupting a minutes silence it just gives the completely wrong impression, no matter how legitimate his protest. I'm not saying that's the way it should be, but that's the way it is.

Most of the people who have issues with this political stunt will stand outside or turn the TV over. The rest will stand and be silent sticking their chests out for SKY TV showing off their poppy on the Hoops , looking daft as if they've won the high ground or something. End of the day , who cares. Skint Huns eff them Why will anyone that does decide to wear a poppy look daft??? If you don't care don't post. Allegedly these wars you go on about won your freedom. Freedom of speech. Whether you like it or not I have a right to have my say on it , protest or otherwise. This is what comes with democracy. Can't have it both ways.

Did i feck, didn't say anything about freedom of speech either. All I asked was why any celtic supporter that wore a poppy at the game would be classed as a bunch of dafty's by you?? Hopefully you'll be outside protesting or in the house.

The perfect opportunity to demonstrate the difference between ourselves and those fandans is tomorrow. Regardless of opinion, if you are at the game tomorrow, keep yer gob shut for just a minute. Please.

If someone breathes loudly then quite rightly the entire Celtic support will be taken to task with the castigation led by the chicken hawks over the other side of the city and their fellow travelers. If everyone turns up wearing a poppy, in their old military uniforms, carrying the ashes of their relatives who have died in various British campaigns, observes the minutes silence perfectly such that the death throws of a fly near the centre circle are picked up by the TV microphones is heard then.... The entire Celtic support will be taken to task with the castigation led by the chicken hawks over the other side of the city and their fellow travelers. What people do as ever is up to them as it should be; the result is in no doubt and will be as it will be.

The Huns hijacked the Poppy and most Celtic fans realise this, so any Neds that step out of line will be set right with a good smack around the head. No worries!

It's part of the DailyMailification of the UK: linky Being a Celtic Club, it should be no surprise that some of our supporters have a problem with the distribution of the Poppy Fund money; whether they need to make that problem clear during a tomorrow's minutes silence is a different question. Whether there is a need for the silence at any football match is another question again.

I personally dont wear the red poppy but if any arseholes give it laldy tomorrow I hope they get huckled one way or another. Dont give the club a bad name. Remember we are an inclusive club not like those bastards in the South Side.
