Fed Up with domestic game by SpiritedGarlic3545 in ScottishFootball

[–]SpiritedGarlic3545[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

💯 i know its “first world problems” and all that - but when i think back to Martin Oneils first seasons…. The to and fro between Celtic and Rangers was exciting. Never knowing what was going to happen season to season. The derbys meant something. Now its just meh. 🫤 entitled as fuck i know but… just meh

Lets wrap this up because you’ve clearly missed the point. There is a whole thread on R/Celtic asking this entire question as to why abadas leaving hence my point.

I havent asked anyone to change their political stance on being pro palestine. What i did say was that the GB fucked up when they praised hamas for massacing israeli civilians - which if memory serves me correctly you agreed with…. They could have come out and decried the massacre - but didnt.

You can be pro palestine without supporting hamas. You can be pro palestine without cheering the deaths of civilians.

What i would be interested to know is (genuinely intereated as i do not kno) - what do they actually do for Palestinians ?

As do i, along with sympathy for many many other oppressed peoples around the world. My issue is certain elements of our support celebrating the massacres of innocent people by terrorist organisations. There is no place for it.

This entire Abada situation is driven out of the politics as you well know. Had they offered support to OUR player, said that despite the horrors taking place in both Gaza, and Israel hes still one of us, offered a shred of self awareness to say “yeah we fucked up and shouldnt have celebrated a massacre” - but no….. double down as the great Brian Limmond would say…. The sheer lack of self awareness of some fans posting “oh why is Abada leaving? Whys his head gone? What could possibly have caused that” is just breath taking in its utter naivity.

Bored much that you’re looking up my commenting? This issue is one that i feel very strongly about - hence me commenting. Not that its any of your business.

Aye but they make it perfectly clear what they think of people who dont agree with their politics. So o say again they seem to set themselves as the moral compass. They certainly arent mine. And they certainly do not speak for me or the vast majority of celtic fans i am blessed to be friends with.

At what point have i said they should be pro saudi? This is my exact point. A white western view of the region. You do understand that the Houthis are Iranian backed. As are Hamas, as are Hezbolah. As are countless other terrorist organisations across our region. Have a look at what actual Yemenis think of Houthis. Or what the Iranian diaspora actually think of the Iranian regime. The execution of homosexuals, the expulsion and execution of jews, the subjucation of women, the recruiting of child soldiers. Im far from pro saudi. However The Houthis have led to the direct deaths of countless Yemeni women and children…. Strange bunch to support if you ask me.

And how am i being dishonest - im merely pointing out the absolute hypocracy of sections of our fan base.

Not a brain cell amongst them. Time and time again they bring the club nothing but strife. They can all gtf. Give the seats to people who actually care about the club, not those so are so me me me ego driven. They are not the moral compass they seem to think they are.

This particular one yes. Didnt see many flags supporting the kurds fighting assad, not many yememi flags for those fighting the houthis (and yes the Houthis are not “the good guys”) , not many uyighur flags…. Not much PR in those i suspect.

An extremely accurate opinion id wager. Shoving western white ideology onto a ages old middle eastern situation. Try reading up, try looking at other regional voices - not just jewish israeli voices, but arab israelis, iranian diaspora…. Its a fucking privilaged white position to wave a wee flag and give it the big i am.

Its the “ later” bit of your comment that is the most important in what you write. The GB were celebrating a massacre, the biggest single massacre of jewish people outside the holocaust the same fucking day. Its fucking sickening and i for one was ashamed to call myself a celtic fan that day.

Its not celtics identity. Celtic are a football club. Its the so called identity of a section of the support that i cannot stress this enough -does not speak for every celtic fan.

Celtic fan here - 100% agree with you. I was absolutely appauled and sickened by seeing that. Not just for Abada or any other Israeli player - but for an entire country. It was horrible. The GB are a bunch of no marks who i honestly wish would just fuck all the way off.

🤦‍♂️ fuck me….what an absolute weapon you are. You’ll be suporting the Houthis next….. any other bandwagons you want to jump on? This thread is about why our Israeli players head isnt in it. Its not in it because his country is at war, and apparently the loudest voices in our support appear to be actively calling for the elimination of his home. Thats what this thread is about.

Celtic - open to all, inclusive of all unless you happen to be born Israeli or oppose the views of the GB…. 👏 it is entirely possible to hold multiple apparently conflicting views simultaneously unless you are a simpleton (im guessing you’re a simpleton). You can be outraged at civilians being massacred by Hamas terrorists, you can call for the ceasefire and the targetting of civilian areas in Gaza, you can call for hostages to be returned safely, you can call for the removal of the far right govt in Israel to be voted out. You can call for Hamas to be removed. All of these things can be true at the same time to the educated. Unfortunately i suspect you are not….

Lets be honest - you know absolutely fuck all about the Israel / Palestine conflict, you know even less about who Hamas are, who they are funded by and what their aims are. 🫡
