I don't particularly like the OO or the band associated but as far as I know they are breaking no laws much like when rebel bands play at Parkhead and dong say they don't

When was the last time a rebel band played at Celtic Park?

Loyalist Shankill Defenders may not be illegal but neither was the KKK when they were kicking about (just after the match today)

They're the loyalist flute band who are marching to a very different beat. For the Shankill Road Defenders are on the attack - against racism against ethnic communities who have made their homes in Northern Ireland and against the stereotyping of their own culture.

The 35 Shankill musicians are banging the drum for a major new cross-community initiative designed to tackle the scourge of division in Belfast and to cast off what they say is the tired and unfair sectarian image of loyalist bands.

Under a project called Music Unite spearheaded by a community group called Beyond Skin and several other organisations, the Defenders have been playing for eight months alongside people, including Muslim musicians, from a wide range of countries across the world, such as Jamaica, India, Slovakia, Ghana and Kurdistan.

A uilleann piper has also crossed the divide in Belfast to play with the flute band on the Shankill.

Sound like they are really into the KKK

Not sure about a rebel band but do you not play the Athenry song, to name one, before or after your games?

Are you for real? Im not sure what rebel bands play at Celtic Park either, i think the wolfe tones recorded a video years ago but no way it would happen now

Charlie and the Bhoys were regulars up until recently but hey that's fine.

No, they were not, what your understanding of recently?

Certainly within the last four or five years not much longer than that

You are very wrong then

For someone whodoesnt care what a bunch of faux offended people think anymore you sure do seem to spend a lot of time defending the indefensible. You've been pulled up on your spoofing and throw a tantrum as per usual. One can only imagine the hysteria if it was Celtic players posing with a RFB at a match in Belfast.

AS

I am defending nothing I said clearly in my firstly post on the matter I didn't agree with the OO or bands but they are not breaking the law and I merely pointed out when ADIG put up that photograph the simple fact this particular band is nvolved in all sorts of community and charitable work they'll also a couple of years ago were involved with a joint Irish and British StPatricks day event.
As for Celtic posing with a Repuplican band I couldn't give a shot to be fair

Pulled up because I may be a a couple of years out yeah ok so you lot will refrain from bringing up anything involving Rangers that happened more than five years ago because obviously after five years it doesn't matter

All set for the game tomorrow people? Was thinking about our line-up and formation. I think Warburton might approach this game a little differently and start with Miller up front on his own. Will be interesting to see if he plays Senderos or not. Given the defensive issues that both sides have, I think we'll see goals tomorrow; one more for us, of course. What odds on Griffiths being out for them?

The most important game in your history, not even our most important game in the next week.

It's true, we're playing Barca during the week.

Can't argue with that result, defence is a ****ing joke.
