Re: Pre Season

Thanks ddevil, the shop is closed right now but I'll try again Monday thanks. The hill is bad news, the kids will be annoyed enough being dragged away from the xbox to see a real football match!

Glasgow Guy.....

I went to Lincoln, with my kids. The only violent or threatening behaviour I saw was when I was threatened (in front of my kids) by 3 Lincoln City lads. Fortunately I was able to calm the situation and ended up getting on ok with them.

Apart from that, I saw many Celtic & Lincoln fans talking to each other around the ground. We got there 2 hours before the kick off. There was kids entertainment going on in the playing fields next to the ground, my kids were playing with Lincoln City fans kids. Afterwards we went to a pub with some of them & had some dinner.

On the way back, I spoke to a Lincoln City fan (a season ticket holder) who spoke about the trouble in the town before the match. He told me that some Lincoln City fans had started throwing stuff at Celtic fans who were sat outside a pub and that's how it started.

I'm not trying to present our fans as being squeaky clean. Every club has an element of violence in it and Celtic are no exception.

But I do wonder what you're trying to incite here.

There will be tricolours being waved, and old rebel songs being sung, but that is the history of our club, they are our colours and have been since we were formed in 1888. Even the Queen has paid respect to the men who are referred to in those songs during her visit to Ireland recently.

I bet you love your username being in green btw.
