I made a suitable alteration:

Sorry but the Iraq and Afghanistan comments are spot on there. Can someone explain to me when those 2 countries last attacked Britain prior to the invasion? Both were illegal invasions.

 

I do feel for the people in the forces who are made to go and fight someone else's war based on a pack of lies.

 

Anyway thats nothing to do with football.

 

As for the result, absolute joke. Bet Lennon and mcGhee were humping each other after that.

How can you spew such drivvel? Do you know anything? Iraq and Afghanistan would have followed Ireland in bombing our country, and since have, only difference is Iran and Afghanistan send in suicide bombers whereas Ireland plant them then run away. Every one of them are cowards, you numptie. It has nowt to do with football but somehow Celtic Football Club allow that piss,.... and ban poppies.

Firstly, given the context they are presented in, nothing is spot on. To bring such matters into the issue of rememberance day is ridiculous.

 

Secondly, they were not 'illegal invasions', do some fucking research. You can only illegally invade a LEGAL regime and political entity. Britain and America were and are well within their rights to invade these countries.

 

How the fuck can anyone moan about us invading a country like Iraq which was completely undemocratic and persecuted many of its inhabitants. Jesus get a grip.

 

Ironically there is one democratically elected government in the middle east with good living conditions. Who is it? Big, bad evil Israel :giruy:

 

PS - I can't really believe what you have just said, given you've seemed sensible in the past. It's as if some half-wit has taken over your computer.

 

Honestly, socialist apathy in this country is out of control as it is without it flowing into forums like here where we should have strong and intelligent values.

How can you back up that Iraq and Afghan would have bombed our country? By listening to the script fed mainstream media???

 

Its you and Totti that need to do research. The supposed reason for invasion of Iraq was WMD and it was PROVEN there was NONE. So how does that justify invasion? And now they are trying the same story with Iran, will they be a threat to US and UK also? Wake up!

 

Another fact! Those Al Qaeda bombers are a creation of the CIA - go look that up!!!

 

For me, wearing a poppie is all about respecting those who fallen at all wars - WW1 and 2, falklands, Gulf War 1 where invaded Iraq was justified after they invaded Kuwait...

 

Celtic banning this is another matter and story, yes they are incorrect to do so but Im purely talking about the banner about Afghan and iraq...Im against both these invasions. If you want a discussion about it then PM me, we'll leave this thread to the football.

You have completely missed my point. Bombs or no bombs, you cannot illegally invade an ILLEGAL, UNDEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED REGIME.

 

Possibly best we leave this, I get the impression you're drunk and ranting nonsense. This banner is atrocious and need not be remotely justified in any shape or form.

Green Brigade statement:

 

 

At half-time during today’s match against Aberdeen we displayed message banners calling for ‘No bloodstained poppys on our hoops’ in protest at the Club’s decision to once again wear the poppy on our shirts during next week’s game at St Mirren (a match our group will not attend because of this decision). This is in support of an appeal by Poppyscotland to all SPL clubs. Poppyscotland describes its role as ‘supporting heroes’ and state that ‘the poppy has become a symbol of remembrance and for the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces’. Our group and many within the Celtic support do not recognise the British Armed Forces as heroes, nor their role in many conflicts as one worthy of our remembrance. Earlier this year, the Saville Report on Bloody Sunday confirmed that 14 unarmed civilians were murdered in Derry in 1972 by the Paratroop Regiment. They were among hundreds killed by the British Army during the most recent phase of conflict in Ireland. More recently, the British Armed Forces have murdered and maimed many thousands more innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. The poppy remembers not just our grandfathers who fought the Nazis but also those who bombed the Belgrano and brutally occupied the streets of Belfast and Basra. While we recognise the right of individuals to remember their dead and that many within the Celtic support will wear the poppy in memory of family and friends lost in WW2 and other conflicts, we cannot accept the imposition of the poppy onto our shirts.

 

As far back as April, representatives from the Green Brigade, Celtic Supporters Association and Celtic Trust met with Peter Lawwell to express our united opposition to the Club imposing the poppy on the first team jersey. We also know that the AICSC and many other individual supporters had called on the Club to reverse their position of previous years and take the poppy off the shirt. Following our meeting in April, the Club were contacted on several occasions for further dialogue on the issue but informed us that they were still considering their position and would get back to us. The first any group knew of the decision was after it had been made, and publicly announced. We share the views of the AICSC whose recent statement on the poppy stated that ‘to see the jersey being used as a medium for such a divisive symbol and the message it communicates is deplorable’, and that it showed a complete lack of respect for the support, further highlighted by repeated declarations on the official website of Celtic’s delight to be wearing the poppy and supporting Poppyscotland. It appears rather than leave his politics at the door, chairman John Reid, the former Armed Forces Minister and Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and Defence, has forced his onto the first team jersey.

 

As you may have noticed at today’s game, we mistakenly missed out the ‘D’ in ‘bloodstained’. This happened in the rush to finish two displays for todays game (with our ‘Show the SFA the red card’ action before the match). The real mistake, however, is the Club forcing the poppy onto our shirt
