Talk:Green Brigade

The group's 'support' of the IRA

None of the sources provided in support of this assertion (3,4,5) back it up.

My own knowledge of the group is that it may be pro-Irish Republican, but this does not necessarily mean it supports of the IRA.

And which IRA are we talking about here? If the Provisionals, they actually no longer exist, so they cannot support them now. I am aware of no evidence to suggest that they support dissident groups.

Therefore, it may be better to have the group described as pro-Irish Republican (if indeed a source can be found to prove this). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.30.175.46 (talk) 11:52, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Yes they do - the Glasgow Herald says the group had stepped up its IRA chants. The Irish Independnet notes they add 'IRA' to songs. Mattun0211 (talk) 02:16, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

That Glasgow Herald article doesn't mention the IRA at all. 87.194.31.160 (talk) 20:25, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes it does - sixth paragraph "One group called The Green Brigade regularly express republican views at games and in recent weeks has stepped up pro-IRA chants." Mattun0211 (talk) 07:19, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Headings

I tried to put the above piece under a new heading "Fans Against Criminalisation Protests" to give the page less of a muddied feel.

This didn't work as this immediately made a contents box appear as there is already a heading for "Poppy protest".

I decided to break up the rest of the page under headings of "Controversy and Reports of Disorder", "Palestinian Hunger Striek Solidarity Display" "125 Celtic Full Stadium Display" "fans Against Criminalisation Protests" and "Poppy protest". I have also moved "Poppy Protest" further up the page in order that the page reads chronologically.

i have also moved the sections regarding the views of David Hay and William Gallard (respectively of Celtic and UEFA) to the "controversy and reports of disorder" section as they are more relevant there than simply in the "Poppy protest" section.

If there are any objections can we please discuss before automatic revertings as this isn't really a massively controversial move. Its just a bit of editorial work to make the page look less cluttered.

Clear Vandalism on the page by unregistered addresses

As it says on the tin. There been a spate of deletions of information on this page in the last week.

Surely this is vandalism? --Omar418 (talk) 01:01, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
