VB-The board and management have different ambitions than the support.
AT- What in your opinion are those different ambitions VB?
-Mine is to have future generations enjoy Celtic,this is important to me,after 1994,
If ever we meet(Championship day:-)) for a beer i will explain why that is important to me,continuous since 6thNov1887 and then became so close to becoming a memory,a 3rd Lanark in 1994
VB-I’ll repeat what I said last year, I have nothing in common with this board, I don’t think all of them are Celtic supporters.
AT- Thats fine to think that VB,but it is wrong thinkin buddy,shaping how you feel bout someone/have in common with them based on whether you deem them Celtic supporters,
i will speak for the 2 i know.
PL i was at both primary&secondary and i knew of him in professional circles,never met, tho i was in London,he up here.He travelled to games as a student on the GU and WillieONeil bus that used to be based around George Square
He was at the Ajax away game early 80s 2-1 game according to late Cqn’r Garry Duncan rip(Delaneys Duncan) He is a Celtic fan,no doubt
Chris Mackay,went to same primary and secondary a few years after i left,his wee ma still goes to 9.30mass on sunday,his father no longer witb us,He travelled often on wee Henrys bus – Carnwardric Csc.He too, is a Celtic fan no doubt of that.
I can only speak for those 2 Vale Bhoy
Michael Nicholson i would suggest is also,tho i havent met him
The difference being ValeBhoy you and i can argue the piece over anythin Celtic,from youth,thro to last saturdays game,tfer policy,board make up,activity or lack of
(am talkin shoite-naw your talkin shoite:-) too’ing and fro’ing and we can do that,they however have the short,medium and longterm planning responsibility to make my wish-a Celtic for future generations- is navigated to,ensuring we go on,we are fans,they are too,but with full responsibility that the likes of banking crisis,rivals self harming2012,Covid etc we glide over
If we win a trophy that is a bonus,not a right as the folk who gave me Celtic as a boy had their reward in Lisbon after many dry years/decades.
I think B2B meant unite behind the team now,as tfer windae is shut
All the best Valebhoy,keep questioning,you only need to see what happens along the river when you dont
For me Brian Quinn, Lord Reid, Ian Bankier and Peter Lawwell have all been different in the Chairman role.
The Chairman, even if a NED, does not have to be passive to fulfill his role, as some suggest, quite the opposite I’d suggest.
Hail Hail

Firstly, I enjoy the ” historic” debates between yourself ( Chairbhoy ) and SFTB.. They are normally informative and respectful .
They are in the best diverse tradition of CQN.
Secondly I am not sure about all the chairmen listed being Neds, but I had a good conversation with John Reid years ago when my daughter was the mascot.
Dead easy to talk to and very down to earth considering the very senior government positions he aspired to. Not at all passive. Hypothetically i can easily imagine John Reid if provoked sticking the heid on someone in a boozer, but as for the others , I will take your word that they are also Neds.
Am I a Ned because we bought a house in a regenerated housing scheme? But someone isn’t because live in Bishopbriggs ffs the more affluent area the more criminals live there.
A young person who sometimes acts in a violent or criminal way.
Awe right I see it’s a class thing.
It has to be right? As the biggest criminals in this country/UK are well educated private school politicians, lawyers, criminal justice system, running Scottish football, police, I could go on.
So do me a favour our board are all crooks time to trysomething different.

An Tearmann,
Thanks for your comments.
I’ll take your word for it.
However, I’m still not convinced about some of those board members. Charlatans.
I’m still waiting on a more intelligent poster sending me their remits.
We’ll see.
You and I would have buried the hun and enjoyed a pint over it. Not our board.
And, BTW, Lawwell may be a true Celtic fan but that’s always second to his own self-aggrandisement.

Vale Bhoy – just how would you have gone about burying “the Hun”?
As for remit of individual board members?
Honest answer : I don’t know.
Collective remit : Lead the organisation ensuring all functions contribute to success.
Definition of success : win stuff, don’t lose money.
The club with “momentum” has a dreadful track record on both.
Whereas ours is pretty impressive.
PS – is the above all (or even mostly) down to the board?
Of course not.

Seen Aberdeen’s goal on twitter again for the first time since the game. My goodness we were a shambles. There’s at least 4 players that could have prevented the goal. We badly need CCV back but there’s huge doubts now over his reliability.

At least the board are consistent. They aren’t backing brendan and they didn’t back the manager of the women’s team. Will brendan follow fran out the door?

You can tell there is nothing postive to report when the official club website is dominated by the women’s team result, well done to the ladies team but cmon

Lets wait and see the interim figures and how the stockpiling of cash is spun, maybe bin colection charges are going through the roof or we are keeping it to give to Westminster in corporation tax as McKay boasted about in the AGM videos.
SFTB, as I’ve said consistently, the best way to treat the Treble Numbered Hun is ignore him. Not worth the bother of a reply, not worth the effort. Deny him oxygen in any form.

Good morning all from a still very windy Garngad.
What or who decides who is a NED?
Guys get a grip, listen to yourselves.
Am I a Ned because we bought a house in a regenerated housing scheme? But someone isn’t because live in Bishopbriggs ffs the more affluent area the more criminals live there.
A young person who sometimes acts in a violent or criminal way.
Awe right I see it’s a class thing.
