There are 3 constants in the universe - death, taxes, and that whenever a sweatie thread is on Charlton Life some wally sitting behind a keyboard in some leafy English suburb will pretend to be a Tim for no apparent reason.ValleyGary said:

Also enjoying reading the usual sour grapes response on here. The hypocrisy is stunning!
Haven't you got some high horse riding to do over on the Brexit thread?2 -
"Locking up human rights activists is not conducive to the public good"Stig said:Here are some more fucking arsehole scum protesting, probably not from an informed standpoint. Tossers the lot of them, the very worst kind. Love to see them do that in the away leg.

I think they're going to have to get snappier slogans for their placards !1 -

I thought the boys in green and white had been knocked out to the mob from gibraltar but clearly not
they had a standing area there last night that looked like banter , prolly a bit too much atmosphere for your average charlton fan1 -
Vile club, I detest that club and its anti British, IRA loving plastic paddy supporters more than the nigels and spanners.

I really don't agree, at least not as a blanket statement. This was seen as a very powerful statement regarding the treatment of African Americans in the US by the Olympians Carlos and Smith. Still quite evocative for me.
As to the original purpose of the post, if this is a genuine feeling of wanting fair treatment and the end of apartheid in Palestine, then fair play to the Celtic supporters. If, as has been suggested, this is an attempt to wind up the opposition and is disingenuous, then it's pretty shit.11 -
Come on.....unless I'm very very much mistaken they are hand of Ulster salutes are they not!?!guinnessaddick said:.

Of course it was done as a wind up.
There was a Celtic fan with a Russian flag goading Leicester supporters in a friendly recently as a Leicester fan had been stabbed by a Russian at the Euros.
No different from when Millwall fans bring Galatasaray flags to games against Leeds.
Just scummy, c*nty behaviour and cannot be justified.7 -
Of course it is but don't expect the plastic paddies on this forum to get nearly as apoplectic over that macro as they do over any insinuation that the Tims might have an ulterior motive.The Organiser said:

Less widely known, though, is the extensive fundraising work of the group to help bring Palestinian youth to the UK to take part in football tournaments and cultural tours. Numerous members of the group have also visited the occupied West Bank.
"From our work with Palestinian groups and visits to Palestine, we know the importance of international solidarity and the positive impact that it has for those living in occupied Palestine," a Green Brigade member, who wished to remain anonymous, told Al Jazeera
"We know that our actions send a message to Palestinians that their struggle is not forgotten.
"Football and sport do not live in a vacuum, separate from wider society," the Green Brigade member explained. "It didn't during the 1980s when the authorities excluded apartheid South Africa from football … nor should it now. Israel must be held accountable for its oppressive and brutal 68-year occupation of Palestine."
Bunch of thugs, just goading the opposition, know nothing about the issues, keep politics out of football etc...15 -
For such a politically astute group of young men, they do seem conflicted over whether the flag should be green on top or black on top?

Of course since most of them can't even get the tricolour the right way round that isn't surprising.4 -

On another thread a person is said to be another person's 'beard', and on here some people are Tim's. I don't know what either term means.1

Kids these days...seth plum said:On another thread a person is said to be another person's 'beard', and on here some people are Tim's. I don't know what either term means.
Wait, I think "beard" means cover for being gay. e.g. Katie Holmes was allegedly Tom Cruise's "beard," as she was his wife and yet his was gay "on the dl (or 'down low')."0 - Sponsored links:

Good, fair play to them, and for raising Palestinian flags during a game with FC Reykjavik a few years back during one of the incursion into Gaza. Always nice when football fans have a conscious and greater sense of the world around them.ateamofcorygibbs said:http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2016/08/celtic-hapoel-sheva-sport-politics-collide-160816055716847.html

Not a wind up, they meant it alright, that mob will jump on any political bandwagon they see fit, they've been flying the Palestinian flag at the paedo dome for years. This is a bunch of supporters more interested in obsessing about anything Rangers do or say and political statements than supporting their own football team.cafctom said:Of course it was done as a wind up.

Just scummy, c*nty behaviour and cannot be justified.
This is a bunch of supporters who regularly disrupt the armistice day silence, this is a bunch of supporters who heckled and booed at the minutes silence for the queen mother, this is s bunch of supporters who were caught on camera doing airplane impressions with their arms at Rangers American players after 9/11, this is a bunch of supporters who after British soldiers were shot dead on duty by fake pizza delivery men, then turned up at the next old firm game carrying empty pizza boxes.

You're just a typical mind-reading lifer trying to curry favour with the crowd. Those honest intelligent Celtic fans were clearly just showing solidarity with pizza delivery men.DA9 said:

As I said Celtic are the media darlings, "good craic", "friendly bunch" is what they're portrayed as for some bizarre reason, guess it's quite fashionable to be anti British with the likes of BBC etc which might be why they also love Liverpool.
They're no better than our pals from south Bermondsey.5 -
true but were talking about a few jocks that see some affiliation to it, i would imagine because they view it in a way similar to the treatment of ireland. get there point to a certain extent with the similarities but i honesty think they view is a way to express pro ireland and piss off the israelis. for the record im a celtic fan of sorts well more celtic then rangers, and this sort of thing really pisses me off get the catholic/protestant banter, but this is too far. and makes them look like a shower of wankers.SDAddick said:palarsehater said:politics really should stay out of all sporting events.

Fair enough, going on the AJ article, it seems as though they feel genuine ties to Palestine, but honestly, I don't pay much attention to the Old Firm, so I'm not in a position to ascertain the actual sincerity of the act versus it being a wind up.palarsehater said:

some rangers fans play up and sing anti irish songs famines over why dont you go home, cheeseburger bobby sands and that.
some celtic fans sing the huns are going bust, fuck the queen etc and latch on to anything that puts the english/british in a bad light
majority of it is tit for tat, no one gets offended.
some of the people we get down charlton 18 year olds doing the red hand salute i find embarassing, they probably dont even know where northern ireland is or know what its all about, but it is what it is. in the words of roger johnson if i dont like i shouldnt go.
been up to glasgow a few times for work, grandads brothers still up there etc, and i dont blame the youth for getting involved heavily with these clubs its a depressing place.
celtic should get a fine and parts of the ground closed.2 -
Celtic will never achieve any major footballing achievements, they aren't good enough to compete with the big clubs in Europe and winning the SPL is far from a memorable footballing feat.
That leaves their fans absolutlley thriving off of any media coverage they get when they 'act up'.
Jumped up little men making banners to rile other teams supporters. Sad.6
