Hugh Keevins continues the sheer hypocrisy of the Scottish Mainstream Media as he calls for Celtic to ban the Green Brigade…
Fresh on the heels of Bill Leckie having a pop at the Green Brigade it’s now the turn of Hugh Keevins. Auld Shug loves nothing more than a rant against our club. He continually has a go at us and this time is no different. He really is a sad old man.
Keevins has said the club must get rid of the Green Brigade, in fact he came up with a three point plan how to do so. How pathetic is he to want rid of a group of supporters who help the most vulnerable in society?
Shug reckons that politics don’t belong in football. Fair enough, but what about the outpouring of support for Ukraine? And of course only a few weeks ago we seen British army personnel abseiling from the roofs of Ibrox.
Indeed yesterday was the start of the poppy season. An event which seems to be starting earlier every passing year. The fact that the same support displayed a Totenkopf banner just a few weeks ago without any mention from Keevins and his fellow comrades is further proof of their agenda.
Isn’t that all politics and hee – haw to do with Football? It doesn’t bother me, but the sheer hypocrisy of hacks like Hugh certainly does. In football these days it appears that an anti-fascist banner is worth of a fine yet a fascist one is not.
Supporters have a right as civilians to air their feelings at football, within reason of course. We can showcase support for those in need, there is in my opinion nothing wrong with that, and it’s a view that I am confident is shared by plenty of Celtic supporters.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
I’m positive there were Palestine flags all around the stadium not just in the GB section. Is this eejit proposing every single fan should be banned or just the GB? Celtic banned the GB from a domestic away game that had nothing to do with UEFA, why? Surely if their concern was the flying of Palestine 🇵🇸 and a resultant ban why not rescind their tickets for Wednesday nights game? As per usual it’s double standards from the club. They know it’s the GB who make the atmosphere at celtic park especially on European nights and wouldn’t risk losing that atmosphere. Instead they collectively punished a group of fans for something they are still investigating! As for Keevins and his ilk you can almost predict what they’ll print about us. They’d be better placed working for the beano.
Great piece, agreed with every word of it!
I’d love to hear someone put that exact question to him on Clyde🤭
As a veteran of 25 years service aCeltic supporter and a share holder I don’t see what soldiers abseiling and supporting the poppy appeal has anything to do with politics. The armed forces should surly be supported in a apolitical way by the whole of the UK public.
Thanks for your service. Surely someone has a right to voice their opinion if they view wars such as Iraq, Libya and Syria as being not just illegal but crimes against humanity. If you support our involvement in those wars that is up to you, I do not. Do not try and invoke the argument the poppy appeal is in remembrance of those who fought in world wars one and two, it is for all military personnel, and for me that includes the wars I mentioned.
I’ve got a better idea.
BAN HUGH KEEVINS.
Don’t ban him just ignore him absolute shite of a man.All he is trying to do is make himself relevant,when was the last time he wrote about anything else rather than Celtic.Too afraid to tell or print anything about Huns as knows he would end up in trouble or so called Board welcome clowns like him Gannon,Jackson do yourself a favour,don’t purchase any rags in Scotland or listen to Radio Clyde your life will be a better place HH
Thought he was against bans ? pretty sure he was when he was banned. I have never liked Keevins, a snob who could barely conceal his disdain for all football fans, conveniently forgetting if it was not for those same fans funding the game in various ways parasites like him would have had to find a real job, and pay to watch football like most people.
Hugh Keevins’s views have often been derided, but he’s right this time. The Green Brigade has its own agenda and Celtic FC is merely a means for it to achieve its aims. I have supported the collections for food banks, but I’ve come to suspect that the GB is simply using those to distract people from its wilful and repeated failings. The CFC Foundation, The Saint Vincent de Paul Society, and any number of other organisations could surely take over the food bank collection. And as someone whose grandfather actively assisted in the War of Independence I am sick of hearing pro-IRA songs. The Celtic board has indulged the GB for far too long – the GB has used the club, it has caused the club to incur repeated fines and opprobrium: it’s time to say “Enough!” Mr Keevins may not be viewed as the ideal messenger, but the message is spot on.
He’s playing to his audience- Sevvies. If you have an anti Celtic agenda there will always be work for you in The Scottish Media. Keevins knows this. If he started to treat Celtic better and wrote articles praising Celtic or Celtics achievements the work would dry up. Again, Keevins knows this. He will spout any pish about Celtic to keep the cheques coming in.
Absolutely Not Good Enough shows his level of football knowledge.
Go to North London and tell the Spurs fans what ANGE stands for. He would get laughed at and sent packing like the fool he is.
Keevins is just a coward, he knows the truth.
I understand the GB handed out thousands of Palestine flags last week? Who funded that, I wonder? I despise them and, as someone who attended his first Celtic game on January 1st 1953, who has attended hundreds of Celtic matches, home and away, who has had two season tickets….I will never go back as long as these terrooist-loving people are there, chanting their love of the IRA etc etc…
Also, I have written to Mr Taylor, on three occasions, asking for an explanation why we are the only club who do NT have their name on a poppy pin badge, absolutely disgraceful. To date, Mr. Taylor has not afforded me the basic courtesy of a reply.
