Celtic fans sing songs about the Provos and interrupt minutes silences for dead people.
Compare Celtic fans behaviour to normal peoples behaviour innit.
Some Celtic/Irish fans/people sing rebel songs. Some of which mention The 'Ra.
But then again 'normal' people listen to the violent lyrics of certain musical genres. What's your point?
Presumably you don't know the Rangers equivalents? They make rebel songs seem benign by comparison.
And a 'minutes silence', Hmm, the last one was for the Ibrox Disaster on 2/1/11, impeccably observed on all sides.
Your rank pulling (as someone who goes to Parkhead basically as a tourist three or four times per year) is a bit silly. I grew up with Old Firm fans- my (then predominantly Rangers supporting) primary school was next door to Cliftonville FC, the next school along was Celtic. I've been watching, listening to and reading about their games- and talking about them to people who actually live in Glasgow- for decades.
As ever, you're wrong about me! And you're telling me children no older than 10 indulged in the most extreme rituals of Celtic & Rangers. Even in '70's "Beal-feirste", that sounds a major stretch of a fertile imagination. ;)
And the 'watching, listening to and reading about' is an even bigger distortion of the truth, given your claimed apparent apathy on them.
It's hardly relevant to now, the subsequent behaviour of both sets of fans(& clubs) by comparison since and if you're so 'knowledgeable' on the subject it's hardly reflected in incisive opinion of such. Just the usual tired cliches they're "both the same".
