    Guy's a moron if he thinks Celtics history does not contain Irish Republican links....who put down the first bit of turf on CP?? Where did the tricolour that flies at CP come from? What about Celtic getting Wolfetones to write and record official songs, to play at cp and even record a music video on the pitch!?

    Not to mention the millions upon millions spent by Republicans on the club!!

    Got a feeling he will struggle to let this go away.

    So a flag, a music video and a Republican laying some turf mean that Celtic are inextricably linked to Irish Republicanism?

    The flag, well that's just nonsense. We were founded by an Irishman

    The Wolftones <laugh> Get a ****ing grip on yourself.

    There are supporters who think that Celtic are a Irish Republican club and they are 100% wrong. While the club has fans and tenuous links to Irish Republicanism it is no more relevant today than Chinese Communism.

    If you're still mixing your fitba with your politics in 2015 then you're an irredeemable mongo. End of story.

    Read the first line of the quote from Lawwell - that's what I was responding to

    The word 'accept' in the context Lawwell has used it means belief, ipso facto the man believes that Irish Republicanism, while a part of the varied history of Celtic, is not indistinguishable on the whole.

    Basically he's saying it's as relevant as any other political or religious belief in that it's not relevant to Celtic now in the year 2015.

    I have to admire Pete's stance on this, a little too late for my liking but welcome all the same.

    Keep all that ****e for where it belongs, in Irish politics. Not something I will ever accept as being part of the Celtic I support.

    Well said Peter<applause>

    There are a minority of morons in our support who refuse to accept change and integrate as part of said change. Time to ostracise them as they've been given ample opportunities yet they still continue to embarrass the club.

    There are appropriate times and places for political expression and football isn't one of them. We're no living in some oppressive ****hole where there are no other outlets for it.

    I have to agree, Politics have no place at Celtic Park, not now or ever. People who can't or won't accept it should **** off and support another club where their views will be welcome. I predict they will have a long and fruitless search.

    "I don’t accept that Irish republicanism is in Celtic’s history – anywhere in Celtic’s history. I don’t recognise Celtic being associated with sectarianism. I don’t recognise Celtic being associated with Irish republicanism."

    Maybe not in Celtic's history but defo Celtic Fan's history. There has always been a link between supporting Celtic and an affinity with Ireland, Irish politics and Irish Republicanism...

    We have a large % of fans from Ireland as well - republic and the North, so the link with those fans who support republicanism is still there.

    But this is a supporter issue and not a club issue. The % of those fans who support Irish republicanism, in my opinion is now in the minority and it's about time the majority are listened to i.e. keep it away from Celtic games (home/away and abroad) and leave ALL politics at the front door.

    For some it is Pud but it is neither integral or essential to being a supporter of Celtic.

    That's the point of all this. Don't tar Celtic or the entire support with the Irish Republican brush as it is both inaccurate and unfair.

    Just had a wee look at Talk Celtic, seems that in the main people have agreed with Lawell but a few ****ing bams are still stuck in the 19th century and are upset that he called the IRA a "proscribed terrorist organisation."

    The fact is they are a "proscribed terrorist organisation" whether they like it or not, and as has been stated on here (Mostly by me) many times, ordinary people do not see any difference between the misty eyed fables of the late 19th and early 20th century IRA men and their modern counterparts.

    People can argue all they like that there's a difference, but to Joe Public there is none.

    Well, look a this little lovey-dovey love-in for fake Celtic fans rimming one another whilst outright lying about the great role Irish Republicanism has had in Celtic FC.

    It's historical FACT that Packie Bonner was a high-ranking IRA commander AND Celic's No.1 goalkeeper, keeping the ball out the net and chasing the Brits out of Ireland.
    John Collins was sending 50% of his weekly wage to Sinn Fein - proven in the release of his bank statements.
    Jimmy Johnstone was GUN-RUNNING during the years 1970-1977. People think he was in the boat pished in Largs 1974 but he was rowing a consignment of WWII Browning M1919 Machine Guns to THE CAUSE.

    If you ****s are going to sit there and ignore these Facts THEN you're not welcome at Celtic Park on the one occasion I nthe next decade that you decide to go.

    UNTIL THE LAST REBEL. CHUCKY AR LA. UP THE RA. FTQ. YNWA. SUPER JAY BEATTIE. STOKESY'S DA IS IN THE RA.
