Blogging on the move right now but want to pass comment on one part of the statement by Aberdeen chairman, Stewart Milne. As he confirmed his club would place the fifth and decisive vote against Sevco being allowed access to the SPL next season he said:
“Reorganisation of the game is a priority and is something we have been actively involved in for a long time, but it is not something that should be rushed through just to deal specifically with one club.
“As we have indicated there are a number of other areas that we feel need to be addressed openly in the coming period if Scottish football fans are to feel that their views have been properly taken into account.”
Those well-paid executives who work for us and on Friday met to discuss a way to reorganise the league structure in the next couple of weeks should pay heed. As Mr Milne suggests, we are the game, not you.

Fair play if that’s the way you see it mate. But when Hearts come to Parkhead and repeat their vile chants when they see paramedics rushing to the assistance of a Celtic supporter in need of obvious urgent medical attention, I wonder if your views will be the same.
Question, if we come out and say yes, will we bhoycott ourselves? :-)
Reckon, we will be last and be guided by the views of Scottish football.

You are 100% spot on there bud.
One of my Aberdeen supporting ‘mates’ (a facebook mate) posted a link to the Aberdeen statement earlier and commented:
‘Happy days. Can we just get rid of Celtic as well please?’
He is extremely bitter towards us as well as the huns and so have other Aberdeen fans I’ve come across down the years.

Christianity adopted art and architecture, because it was the most powerful way to get your message across to the masses, the majority of whom would have been unable to read and even if they could, would have been unable to get a hold of a book – which would have been hand made.. They probably didn’t get to see all the art, because much of it would have been for private consumption, but there was enough to explain the bible stories.It would have been the equivalent of TV today.
Architecture was just as important as it was intended to project a powerful image of God. It got the message across and still does. I’m not religious in any way but I love visiting churches and cathedrals.
What called an end to the age of religious art and architecture was the invention of the printing press. Once books became more accessible and more people learned to read, then the need for art and grand architecture gradually dwindled.

Let’s not forget the banner in the Hibs end when we humped them 5-0 on ‘Jelly and ice cream Sunday’….
ONE DOWN ONE TO GO….OF GTF!!
Oh the joy the joy.
Doncaster cannot survive. He put money ahead of integrity and it’s likely that ALL his chairmen disagree. A vote of no-confidence must be in order.
Like that the Huns are now getting narked that Celtic won’t declare. I think they want us to save them. They think we might vote for them to protect voting rights. THEY want US to save them.

From school football to top international level – once a player wants to leave – they have already left. Ki or Vic can go.It would be a mistake to retain either if their hearts are not in it…

Easily the oddest question I’ve ever been asked on here mate! Haha.
hamiltontim:
The great thing about all this is that there was never any back-biting or bitching here. None of the fans statements mentioned the OF term, none of them slagged rival clubs, none of them used this crisis to score cheap points off the others. The spirit of the debate has been exemplary. Over on RTC fans of every shade and opinion have been posting the details of their own efforts, and all of it has been done with one goal in mind.
You and I might not have done it for them, and they might not have done it for us, but we didn’t get in each others way, cut each other off at the knees, it never became an OF issue and therefore the victory DOES belong to the supporters of every single football club in the land.
Even when we threatened the boycott, how many fans of other clubs did you see whining and wailing and throwing mud at us?
And yes, I understand that Hearts are now our biggest rivals, and with the collapse of Rangers now beginning to resemble that of the Nazi Party in April 1945 there is a dreadful possibility for that to morph into an even grimmer rivalry than it is now … that is for tomorrow.
Tonight we are all flying one flag, and like with every successful revolution the various factions will descend into acrimony soon enough … enjoy the moment for what it is. Has there EVER been a close season like it?
And this is all without us signing a superstar striker ….

Spiers is grandstanding without context. That tweet would be all very well if those clubs had just taken a whim to vote out a club. It’s a million miles away from that. The bus companies will miss them, the pubs and chippies near to away grounds will miss them, maybe Scotrail and Citylink then there’s BP and Little Chef. But they shouldn’t of course blame SPL chairmen or fans, as Spiers and others would have us believe. All of those companies may have seen a wee peak in profits based on lies and cheating in years past. What comes around. In sum, no-one will miss them.
A wee anecdote. I know fans of another SPL club who didn’t go to their home games when thems were in town – ‘too posionous’. No, no-one will miss them. And if they return, maybe they won’t be welcomed back.

I used to be very good friends with an Aberdeen supporter whose dad happened to also be marketing director of the club.
He despised the huns but his loathing for them was only a notch higher than the disdain he had for us.
At Pittodrie a couple of seasons ago there was a Dons fan on the other side of the fence from me. He had on an Aberdeen top with ‘Zenit 08’ on the back of it.
I shouted over to him that I was impressed with the art work. His response was to try and spit on me!!
As I said I’m thankful that other supporters have seen fit to do the right thing but in this country, as Celtic supporters and a club, we stand alone.
Aberdeen fans view the ‘OldFirm’ as 2 cheeks of the same @r5e…but if pushed most would admit to hating Huns more…in my experience of living in the City for 20 years or so…
I’m personally delighted that AFC and others are seeing this as an opportunity to compete more in the SPL…it shows ambition
Bloke109,
agreed some of those providing services will miss them,
but the league as a whole will not,i hope some of the teams are able to sell extra tickets when we visit to help lessen the financial cost of them being dead,
and as you say they may get more of their own support attending now
Sparkleghirl,
I really can’t get my head round the Doncaster situation.
Either he is scheming at the behest of one or more SPL chairmen – in which case all sorts of shit will hit the fan later this week – or he is acting on his own ‘initiative’. If it’s the latter, I would expect him to be sacked?
shallow shallow,
———————————————————————————–
You have taken the decision to hurt Rangers through nothing other than pure hatred for us. Not for sporting integrity. Not for the fact that the punishment is correct. Because you hate us more than you love your own club.
So your “national team”
How do you imagine they are going to cope going forward? SPL minus Rangers = less investment = less quality in an already poor league = less competition and a lowering of standard of player = direct impact on scotland’s team. There will be the few who move to england and do not bad, but not enough. You have just raped your own country.
Well done you morons. Not that I give a rats ass about scotland, I’ll be gutting myself when croatia pummel them. But these things will affect your beloved team.
Did you even stop to think about that?
James Forrest … Thank you. …. And thank you to the other clubs’ fans for also putting integrity first …. People power prevailed …… I honestly believe that, from next season, football rivalry will replace the behind culture …… And crowds will grow due to the new ATMOSPHERE ….. Our resistance is not required at the previous level

I’m ecstatic, I just hide it well :-)
I am flying a flag as you say but mine is green and white, there’s no maroon or claret and amber or red and white or tangerine, just Green and Whyte!!

Yep. Each club has done what is right but one big happy family Scottish football is not and never will be. However, the biggest and most poisonous part of the problem(on several levels) has been nullified. And the best part of it all…they only have themselves to blame!

Any idea when CELTIC FC will break cover??
Still amazed by the generalising about the attitudes of supporters based on the flimsy evidence of one banner,one comment ,one tweet.
Let`s face it.
On that basis,
Celtic supporters are Pope loving ,Queen hating,I.R.A.supporting,poppy hating,Brit hating,Catholic fenians.
No?
Ps Will it be a marquee event? That wd be fun!!!
Dammit,
I missed socialist.

I think next season is an opportunity to alter perceptions and change SPL culture between fans. In fairness to Celtic we ‘modernised’ quicker than RFC…I have been challenged by CFC supporting mates around some things I have said that I felt were inocious..
We will no longer be guilty by association with our Glasgow neighbours..
I’d say it is down to our fans and I dont have too many concerns on that front. We will be the only cash cow they have – so I expect, if not a warmer welcome, certainly a less hostile reception. Hearts will be the exception as I suspect them to make a play for the Old Hun mantle..
Traditionalist88
You are dead right. For months we’ve all beat the same drum, this is sport and therefore there must be integrity.
I would also say, this is sport so there must be competitiveness and there must be rivalry.
What we can now aspire towards, without the toxic nature of govan utd, is rivalry without hate and prejudice.

What evidence would you present for the supporters of other clubs then?

I’m with you on that.
I don’t think we should get to sensitive about other clubs two fingering us as long as it’s not based on bigotry or racism. E.g. Hamiltontims example of Hibs fans saying one down…. gtf. That doesn’t bother me in the slightest! In fact I would LOVE it if we could oblige :)))

I would like to think that the reception at away grounds would be less hostile from now on.
In all honesty I can’t see that being the case.
Spot on HT. I don’t expect a love in with Aberdeen fans and vice versa.
Off to dream of what may be in store tomorrow.
