CammyF 8,175 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 If you remember last season, the Jungle Bhoys imploded over the anti-sectarian and racism banners that were unfurled at Parkhead in gte final OF game of the season. In their remaining home games, sections of TJB indulged in sectarian and racist chanting (I'd rather wear a turban than a sash - soon there will be protestants at all and various IRA ditties). Well, now parts of the Jungle Bhoys have set up a splinter group called, wait for, Bhoys From The Green Brigade (I kid you not). Here is their manifesto - it is fucking hilarious reading guys and gals ; "Out of the ashes of the Jungle Bhoys, comes the Green Brigade. I was involved in the JBs last season, but after Bannergate, I, along with many others, could never go back. So the 'splitters' decided to hold a meeting, where it was decided we'd go ahead with a new group. In recent seasons, there has been much debate about the atmosphere, or to be more accurate, the lack of atmosphere at Celtic games. To counter the perceived apathy amongst our support, a group named the Jungle Bhoys was formed. For various reasons, we do not feel that this group will be able to fulfill our aspirations and properly reflect the true nature of our support base. We are not set up in opposition to the aforementioned group and wish them every success in what they hope to achieve. We aim to offer an alternative to them. We are open to everyone who cares passionately about our great football club. We acknowledge and embrace the traditions of our support and hope to get some passion back into the stands. For some following Celtic is a hobby akin to going to the cinema or watching their favourite group. Their pernicuous influence has taken root and now it has become fashionable to come in late and leave early and spend the time in the stadium chatting to your mates via text messages. We do not intend to tell anyone how to support their team but if you are one of these people then our group is not for you. If, on the other hand, you still view going to the football as an experience to be savoured then you will find like minded people within our ranks. Here are a few bits of information about our group, as well as some of our aims. -The Green Brigade is an ultras group. We admire the way that fans in Europe support their team, and we would like to add some of that passion to our support. -We are an all-inclusive group. We will not discriminate against people because of their race, religion, political stance, etc, though nazi's/fascists are not, and will never be, welcome within our ranks. -We are not run by a committee. Every decision goes to a vote in which all members can have their say. -We believe Celtic's history is firmly rooted in Ireland, as well as Scotland. -We believe we should be allowed to sing about the struggle of the Irish people, without fear of ejection from the stadium. -We will not be dictated to by the PLC. -As we refuse to co-operate with the PLC in any way, our displays will be limited, predominantly, to away grounds. -We aim to support our team through song, whether we win, lose or draw. -We aim to add colour to Celtic Park, and whatever other stadium Celtic play in. -We aim to make going to watch Celtic fun again. If you want to help out in any way, whether it be hands-on, like helping out in the making of banners, setting up of displays, or helping with fundraising, donations, acquiring materials, then visit or messageboard at greenbrigade.proboards77.com We welcome any constructive criticism and ideas from our fellow fans, as "football without fans is nothing".

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! If you don't wish to be Scottish, hand in your passport and **** off to Ireland - if that doesnt seem suitable, then please accept that you are Scottish and stop all this irish pish As for the second one, anyone wanna forward that to UEFA! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 8,175 Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 It gets better, the more you read about them - this is classic ; "We are a predominatly left-wing, pro-Republican, anti-fascist group.'' So much for - We are an all-inclusive group. And on their messageboards they are trying to drum up support for songs about the Ibrox disaster - They All Fell Down The Stairs (repeat) and If You Cannae Do The Tumble Your A Tim... Typical vermin.
