- Celtic fans have come under fire for their use of anti-monarchist banners during their champions league game against Shaktar Donetsk.
A banner in the Celtic end was unfurled that read “F**k the Crown” while another one said “Sorry for your loss Michael Fagan”, a reference to the intruder who broke into the Queen’s Buckingham Palace bedroom in 1982.
The away fans also chanted “If you hate the Royal Family, clap your hands” during the game in Warsaw.
TalkTV host Ian Collins slammed the anti-monarchist protestors as "full blown halfwits."

Do Celtic fans have a right to protest?
Yes it's called "freedom of speech"
Yes, we have the right not to be silence
Yes absolutely even if I don't agree with them
yes they do and its at a match so what is the issue,
Better question, does ian collins have even an ounce of common sense?
"Why would you display your anti-monarchy credentials in such a graphic, public, and clearly offensive manner" well because it's the correct thing to do. Pretty simple if you ask me
@tam james oh wow that's even better! christianity is also bad
@tam james lololol way to make our point
@tam james Fuck Christianity I am with them,
Have some respect for the dead,Celtic scum
@@wozzer3wa i will never respect any member of the british monarchy, dead or alive, thank you very much
Why he asks? You had the three BBC presenters talking about the Royals murdering Catholics in Scotland and then all laughing about it live on air. But now gettimg all upset about a banner! 🤦♂️
Ian Collins the Snowflake
Hey! This is the family that knighted Jimmy Saville and which the current King was best friends with. Is THAT cause for criticism?
And just because Prince Andrew was great friends with Jeffrey Epstein, is that a reason to dislike them??
This is a well regarded, mafia family that took over the country through brutality over decades. Show some respect for the monsters.
Spot on🍀💚☘️
Which catholic
Cheeky fk like you that cause trouble it’s true what he said thought it was funny we don’t forget 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
As an Ex Servicemen who Served the Queen and lifelong Celtic Fan I had absolutely no issue with this.
A great many men died so we could have freedom of speech and freedom to express our opinions.
Why are people mourning someone whom they never met or never even knew?
Very odd behaviour.
Exactly
the Celtics fans displayed a level of intelligence and understanding of politics here that goes above and beyond anything inside Ian Collins' brain
Hater opportunists.
You actually believe that intelligence was involved in Celtics shameful display?. The same idiots disrupt the minutes silence for Remembrance every year too. This despite the fact that Celtic had former players who died in WW1. They claim Irish heritage but ignore the fact that 49,000 Irish born soldiers died in the same war. Intelligent? LOL.
@@WHU63 yes but they think the monarchy is bad whereas Collins think the monarchy is good. what else story for babies does he belive in? the tooth fairy? santa claus?
@@atn_holdings You sound like you believe in the tooth fairy. Collins has his opinion, these Celtic fans have theirs. We're allowed to differ, but to go out and be totally vile and disrespectful is at a different level than differing. You can't insult people in the street because of their race or religion or colour. Nor can you put up offensive banners mocking the dead. I'm aware it's not all Celtic fans that are involved in this.
@@WHU63 you are *always* allowed to mock the Royal Family
The Michael Fagan one is funnier and wittier than anything Ian Collins has said in his entire broadcasting career.
You think Rape is "funny"..? What a piece of human waste you are...

An Irish identity has been strongly imbued in the fabric of Celtic since its formation as the club was established by an Irishman. Ireland gained its independence from Britain in 1922, ending eight centuries of political and military invasion by the UK on our country. Unresolved trauma can become generational. Colonisation is a trauma. This may shed some light on the response by the Celtic fans.
Not everyone is as disciplined as Sinn Fein. I was dancing and singing myself when I heard the witch had died. Our only Queen is Ériu.
You're talking Absolute shite 😂😂😂😂
@tam james I live in the south of Ireland and I don’t see anything of what your talking about😂😂
@@kevobrien4329 are you trying to make us British aware of something we don't already know? It's well known how the Pathetic irish feel about the United Kingdom. Disrespect on a constant basis is expected from people like you so it's nothing new to us that your country is plagued by low life's!
@@kevobrien4329 The pope screwed you aswell ,
This guy on tv, whoever he is, is such a pleb. He failed miserably at trying to mock the club, seems his intelligence is also pretty low.

Give me 1 good reason why these fans should be respectful! That banner is nothing compared to the stuff rangers fans sing and chant, and 90% of rangers fans carry knives.
yep
i am a celtic fan ur a disgustingexcuse for a human being crawl bk under the rock from where u came from
Celtic should be banned for this. Freedom of speech is an American law and we don’t have it here. This is just disgusting plain and simple. It gives Glasgow and Scotland a bad name. Everyone knows how backwards parts of both Rangers and Celtic fans are but there is no excuse for this. It’s not 1900
Show some respect, if that banner was unveiled anywhere near me I’d have beat ever single one of you filth and wrapped your corpse in it. You deserve a lifetime ban from all football competitions for this and is something anyone with any dignity will push for.
You don’t have freedom to hate speech something you lot are good at your fuck Lee rigby song your banners, your scotland shame !! Club that’s riddled with paedophiles and fuelled by hatred
You lot are scummy rats and the whole world knows it 🐀 🐀
Why should anyone care about a banner? Hey remember that time the queen paid our bills? Or the time she cooked for us when we were starving? Remember when she came to our relatives funeral to console us?
When did she do anything for ANY of you crying on here please? I can't wait to hear what she's ever done for you
If we all dropped dead overnight she wouldn't give a flying f**k
She recently spent our tax money on paying off her sons victims. Short memory this lot
But my tax money alright for paying for your benefits
If you hate the Queen so much, take out your wallet and throw away all the money with her head on it.

You can't bow to the Crown and Oliver Cromwell.
Why not? Cromwell was pro-Constitutional monarchy. The only thing he did with the monarchy was remove Charles I from the throne. He accepted the accession of Charles II.
@@martynblackburn9632 No, he wasn't. He believed only parliament was sovereign under the monarchy of God. He supported the King's execution: any acquiescence to the monarchy was due to expediency. Cromwell's body was dug up and desecrated under Charles II for Regicide and leading supporters of Cromwell were hunted down. Catholic Ireland rebelled in support of Charles, but at least the Stuarts were legitimate kings. An English parliament would again remove a Stuart King - James II. Loyal, my ass.
@@vincentmcnabb939 Well said.
@@vincentmcnabb939 Wrong! He supported the execution of a tyrant king. That is all.
@@martynblackburn9632 Charles was brought to trial, a trail and execution supported by Cromwell, on account of the King's "treason" not because he was a tyrant through that maledicta was subsequently added. That is a fact, a recorded fact, whatever spin your Whig historians then give it.

Maybe if you look into the history and the Irish connection with Celtic you we’ll see the Irish we’re treated worse than blacks by the British army that’s why,why are you not questioning blm or the left you can’t just jump against the Celtic fans
Were you born in 1679?
Where any of blm
Nothing new here. Celtic traditionally support Scots and Irish republicans. Rangers support the Scots and Irish monarchist unionists. 🇬🇧
There IS right to free opinion but there is NOT a right to display abuse in public = gottit ?
Someone has died why they do that is beyond me it's awful and shocking it's a disgrace to Celtic football club
Against the institution, not the late Queen herself.
Because her ancestors caused the death of about a million Irish people you 🤡
There's nothing disgraceful about protesting inherited privilege. The Queen "reigned" over some of the worst atrocities in history, committed by "Her" armed forces and the various Government she's headed.
Argentina and Scotland one heart
When you consider the atrocities carried out by the English, in Ireland over the last 500 years, you have to ask why? Could you explain that? What was the psychology behind it, and why did they feel the need? So many questions about England's actions in Ireland.😅
it wasn't just celtic fans,shamrock rovers fans did it too,so much for the friendly Scottish and irish
Here you dumb racist do you know the amount of crimes the English have committed to the scottish and Irish? They're song we're upto our knees in fenians (catholics)blood surrender or you'll die ?

It's called freedom of speech.
@Norge 4
It's not freedom of speech if you can only say it when it doesn't make people uncomfortable or upset. People are getting annoyed with being forced to grieve for a Queen they don't want to grieve for. It's giving North Korea.
I find this hilarious actually. Liverpool fans booed through the minutes “silence” to the point where BT had to mute it, and the referee had to cut it short. Not a word has been mentioned about this. That’s right, focus on Celtic.
Not all Liverpool Fans booed just a small minority of Republican sympathisers and far Lefty Reds they have little respect for Liverpool Football Club or its Legends or the Hillsborough Families so get your information right as the club was founded by Orangemen in 1892 so if a few fools want to disrespect the club and the 97 just treat them with contempt they are supporters who won't remember the Queen presenting the team with the FA Cup in 65 dressed in Red and Septic FC leaving Anfield after throwing bottles onto the pitch after getting beat.
@@Jungleloyalscouse don’t talk nonsense! Actually do your research on the club you claim to support. Liverpool fans, and scousers in general have always felt let down by the crown, and government. From the Hillsborough disaster, to the mistreatment of dock workers in the 80s and 90s. That was far from a minority the other night. I’m going to guess you started supporting Liverpool when Klopp arrived.
Celtic + Liverpool = 🤡
You and the scousers absolutely love being victims, don't you. Irish blood is a helluva drug.
@@MickeyRedNose Uppa the Gunners. ❤️
how about the freedom of speech?
It’s not all Celtic fans
Why can't the monarch be Catholic? The British monarchy discriminates against Catholics. Why not discuss that Ian Collins? Maybe it might explain somewhat what you find inexplicable.
Not just Catholics, also some Protestant denominations.
You don't really believe that if the Monarch was Catholic it would make a blind bit of difference to these racist bigot's? This is pure racism against another nation and its people - the UK. Of course it's really England they hate. The Queen did more than anyone in her own gentle way, to try and mend relations between the UK and Ireland, and is totally disrespected by these igonaramus'.
That’s as mad as saying, why can’t a Protestant be the Pope.
@@ononewheellad So the protest against the Queen wasn't anti-Monarchy, but sectarian anti-Protestant bigotry.? That's what we all thought anyway.
@@ononewheellad It’s far from the case given that European monarchy was gifted by the pope.
How would they feel if we said something mean and nasty about someone they loved who had just died?!
I guess that would depend on how EVIL that person had been.
These royal families killed many who protesting early also they are not only similar to terrorists but making uk people slaves for them
Don’t think they mentioned the queen. Only the crown in general.
@@woooooooo9061 And the banner is miraculously displayed just after she died? Some coincidence, eh?
@@acm1137 not a coincidence at all. If they’d displayed that sign 3 weeks ago, it would have had no impact. It was a calculated and very important protest, in the name of freedom.

Did he not see the parties when thatcher died?
Of course the Junkie Wee Jimmy's can say whatever they want .

With all the police there they couldnt take the banners down? or were they just there to watch the match for free
Most busy hunting young girls down
First match was in Poland, dimwit.
If you review the accession speech in Scotland with King Charles ‘ Defender if the Protestant Faith ‘ however Mr Collins outrage was with a halfwits football fans who protested about the monarchy. However Collins didn’t see. Point in mentioning the bias and sectarian against Catholics by the establishment.

It’s a chance for people to come out into the open, everyone’s entitled to their view, and usually people who make these types of statement show their ignorance of things, but it’s their right.
a lot of people saying that it was in poor taste? possibly, but giving medals to the british soldiers who shot civilians in Derry on Bloody Sunday is a little more than poor taste, and given one of the paratroopers an MBE in her honors list is poor taste and a little more than offensive to the families of the civilians he killed, people who were subjects of the Crown, her subjects, and she didn't give a fuck about them, so the people have the right to have their voice heard regardless of offending the monarchy or assholes like you.

It’s not just a case of saying they are morons for doing this. As an Englishman married to a Glaswegian I can say that you need to know how strong the religious divide is in that city certainly as far as football goes. It’s like in no other city in the uk. Kids have been brought up as a royalist or not - and those that are not it’s because of the history going back years. I don’t like the banners and think it’s disrespectful but I understand why it happens and as a lot of other Celtic fans on here have said it’s not all fans of that club that would act in this way. And the club itself did the right thing in terms of statements and flags at half mast to show respect for the death of the monarch.
Such behavior reflects on the person expressing it, the rather than the message itself. 🇺🇸
Nahh, she spent our tax money the other month paying off her sons victims and kept the polis off Saviles back for a half century. Get real.
That’s nonsense.

this banner is typical of celtic fans who still sing and chant songs supportive of the terrorist IRA. celtic fans are even supportive of and celebrate IRA bombings of civilians. celtic football club do nothing to supress or ban these people from celtic park.
celtic are as far as i know the only club in the world who felt the need to send out a letter to their season ticket holders reminding them to wash properly. do you think i say this as some kind of joke? google it, celtic fc really did send out a letter to a certain area of the season ticket holders. some other season ticket holders had to complain to the club because a group among season ticket holders actually stunk from not washing properly. this has been a great thing for rival team fans who have for decades called celtic fans "the great unwashed"

Ian Collins sits in front of his microphone and completely derides the Celtic fans for being ‘toothless morons !’ He clearly doesn’t have any understanding of the motives behind why the banners were created at all. Whether you agree with them or not, people are allowed to have an opinion and are allowed to show their feelings about the death of a Monarch who they view as a figurehead of an oppressive state. We live in a society where free speech is allowed and that free speech shouldn’t be stamped out or covered up just because, as in this case, it doesn’t go with the narrative of the vast majority. Some people might not like this fact but, not EVERYONE loved and respected the Queen for lots of reasons. Many Irish catholics were murdered by the Queens troops, ie Bloody Sunday..Ballymurphy Massacre etc, and their families had to watch her majesty handing out medals to the perpetrators. Basically, you are entitled not to like what these banners said but they are the free held views of some people and that also has to be respected.
Well said Martin.
