The actions of that particular group on a regular basis and the club itself often flies right in the face of their supposed "Open to all" ethos and shows them up as the utter hypocrites that they are. What do you think "open to all" means just the people you agree with? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenlantern Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Again this is not unique to them. Generally anyone who loudly trumpets themselves as being tolerant and inclusive usually doesn't extend it to their ideological opponents. The seething MJC is blurring the lines between the views of a supporters group and the club itself. He knows this. But is clouded by his utter rage and contempt for Celtic. Incidentally, the very thing he pulls others up on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct and it's almost always done by the two types of people I cannot stand and go out my way to avoid at all costs...Politicians(psuedo or otherwise) and hypocrites. 5 hours ago, wastecoatwilly said: What do you think "open to all" means just the people you agree with? Open to all, welcoming to people from all walks of life, with different beliefs and outlooks. Celtic and the Green Brigade aren't very good at this from what I can see. 5 hours ago, Greenlantern said: The seething MJC is blurring the lines between the views of a supporters group and the club itself.

As I said last night, that supporters group don't half do a good job of getting their message across through their massive banners and displays inside the ground. The club don't seem to have too much of a problem in allowing them to do so either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pros outweigh the cons, it's always a pleasure to help hold their banners up high. are they? that section looks pretty big. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I think that 'normal' celtic fans sit in that section too. It’s the standing section. [emoji6] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only classify the immediate bit in front of corner flag as the gb up to the walkway. Im the other side of a stairwell from them in standing section but still was banned for that Rosenborg game a few years ago (along with everyone else in that bit). They keep their actual numbers to keep banner displays info before to a minimum amongst other reasons. Years ago some *** group had a banner at Ibrox leaked and the GB had a counter one humiliating them so keeping it tight is understandable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidentiality agreements being marked with an “x” amongst Celtic and Rangers fans must be a thing then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that did you not get a seat elsewhere in the stadium? I'm in the top tier front row looking over the standing section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the whole ultra thing which isnt exclusive to Celtic or Rangers but also isnt a common thing in Britain I suppose. 3 minutes ago, wastecoatwilly said: I remember that did you not get a seat elsewhere in the stadium?

Everyone in the banned sections were also banned from the match itself but I used someone else's client code so I could go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's also a good way of getting away tickets if someone else can't make it plus Celtic spares. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
