Of course it matters where it came from, the minutes silence was taking place in Falkirks stadium not across the entire country ffs 
And Oliver I have no intention of having an argument with you whilst you wish to call me scum without having a clue who or what I am. I'm Scottish, not a fan of any terrorist organisations and respectful of those brave men and women that died fighting for the basic freedoms we enjoy today. That doesn't mean I'm not allowed an opinion though.

A bunch of drunk neds sang outside a football ground when there was a silence taking place, how does that equate to Celtic being disrespectful of dead soldiers?
Pile of nonsense and although I'm not happy we've provided the ammunition it absolutely reeks of tit for tat because once again Rangers fans disgraced themselves on an away trip.

If the only thing Rangers fans did whilst travelling away was sing outside a ground when a minutes silence was taking place they'd be given a badge of honour for good behaviour.
I'm also not saying that no but it will be used against the club and blown up to be a massive life or death issue when it really isn't.

And I feel Rangers fans are using a ruined minutes silence as a get out of jail free card......hence the reason this thread exists in the first place yet not one word was said about the thuggery midweek.

Martin Bain released a statement within a day which stated that the heavy handed behaviour of the Romanian stewards was the catalyst for the rioting. Do you take an interest in your club?

If it is true then Rangers must encounter some amount of shit luck whenever they travel because everyone and their granny seems to be out to provoke them.
The Hamburg fans brandished a massive Union Jack covering an entire stand yet Celtic fans carried on regardless in the face of that provocation.

I think you missed the part where there were no heavy handed stewards......and if there were it would have been actions based on the past history of the fans they were stewarding on that particular night.

It was disgusting what the celtic fans did singing IRA songs during the silence shocked me. The fans seem to forget a bit of history with the club.
Willie Angus who signed for Celtic in 1911 and played for the team during seasons 1912-13 and 1913-14 became the first ever Scottish Territorial soldier to win the Victoria Cross. Willie won his VC on June 12th, 1915 in Givenchy. He lost an eye, damaged a foot and was wounded 40 times in the process of successfully rescuing Lt James Martin, a fellow native of Willie's home town of Carluke who was lying injured a couple of feet away from the German front lines. A visit to the Willie Angus website gives the reader the full details of his deed and provides a unique insight into his truly amazing story. Needless to say Willie never played for Celtic again after this. There were other Celts who fought and unlike Willie never made it back to Blighty. Of the 908,371 British and Commonwealth soldiers killed during the Great 1914-18 War, 7 of them were on the books of Celtic.
Spare a thought for the following ex Celtic players, Patrick Slavin, Leigh Roose, Donnie McLeod, Archie McMillan, Robert Craig, John McLaughlin and Peter Johnstone they gave their lives in the bloodiest war of them all.

Who sang an IRA song? The song that was as clear as day was a song about a young Gaelic footballer called Aiden McAnespie who was murdered by the British Army as he went about his daily business as an innocent and free man. The British Army have attemped, to this day, to cover up his murder by saying he was hit by a ricocheted bullet. It has absolutely fuck all to do with any terrorist organisation.
