You traded mediocrity for immortality – Never a fraud, always a Celt

Disappointing stuff from The Green Brigade earlier today, this is surely not the time for division. They could have re-arranged the wording on their 2019 Tynecastle banner to read something like this…

THEN…

AND NOW…

NEVER A FRAUD, ALWAYS A CELT

The North Curve aka the Green Brigade made their feelings pretty clear on the reappointment of Brendan Rodgers today.

They tweeted a picture of that banner from 2019 just after Rodgers left us for Leicester. The Banner of course read ‘You traded immortality for Mediocrity, never a Celt always a fraud,’ but perhaps the amended version we’ve rather helpfully provided them with above would have been more appropriate today. They can use it anytime they like.

It was a fair description of Brendan’s departure and one hundred percent factual, no one is disputing the statement, but to bring it up today is helping no one but our detractors who as we know fine well, need no ammunition to have a go at us.

If you were unfortunate enough to be supporter of theRangers then the Green Brigade’s message on the news that Brendan Rodgers – a manager that they fear – is returning to Celtic would be the only crumb of comfort. United we stand, divided we fall and all that.

The North Curve are well within their rights to make their feelings known, and hopefully that is all it is and their unhappiness with Brendan isn’t a regular occurrence. They will have made their point and now as a support we should be giving our manager our support.

We need to all get behind Brendan Rodgers and his players going into the new season. We need to all be united in our quest to have another successful season. We all want the same thing, so we all need to be singing from the same hymn sheet, quite literally. This isn’t the time for differences.
