The Gang of 10 SPL club who will meet next week will decide whether or not we have a morally sound and ethically administered league. The meeting wasn’t announced three hours before overtures were being made on terms a Rangers Newco would be prepared to agree to in order to win their backing.
Effectively, the other 10 will asked to hold their noses, put all moral judgement aside and tell Rangers Newco the terms they need to agree to in order to get back into the SPL, retain their history and limit consequences of the alleged improper registration of players. Some of those hoping to front a Rangers Newco are prepared to do whatever is necessary to get back on a level playing field with those who have spent the last 20 years playing honest football and paying their taxes.
The question to be considered is not just what is ethically right in sport; it’s more personal than that. This is about what is going to happen to your money, the football club that defines who you are, and your relationship with the game for the rest of your life.
The schemers and cheats are not beaten and they are not going to give up. There is no honour, no ‘dignity’, no moral compass that understands there are consequences for decades of rampant abuse. All there is, is a sense of entitlement that I struggle to comprehend.
That sense of entitlement is about to promise bucket loads of your cash to someone else in order to restore the old certainties. This time, they are not even going to use the tax man’s money, they are going to use YOUR money. The money you put into the game will be distributed and used to flush the smaller clubs, who will in turn restore Rangers to their position of ascendency.
This is not sport, it’s a disgusting abuse of Celtic fans. You are not even being asked, you are being expected to open your wallets and pay whatever price it takes to put Rangers back on top.
I have never called for a boycott of a newspaper, never mind a football game, but this is not football anymore. We cannot be party to this. It is not a passing-issue either. Rules are being made with consequences that could last 100 years.
You have suffered from decades of malpractice and have earned the right to go to Ibrox in two weeks to enjoy the reflection of honest endeavour. After this, our next away game will be at Kilmarnock. If the Gang of 10 attempt an insurrection using your money, join me in a picket outside Celtic Park when these tickets are available for sale, and outside the away gates at Rugby Park on game day, to explain to Celtic fans the consequences of supporting the clubs who would use your money to establish a new Rangers.
Unite and bring the full power of Celtic against those who would rather do a deal with the devil than establish an honest, even, playing field.
If the Gang of 10 give Rangers Newco their way, using your money, we cannot go back to an away game, not this season, not ever. We must demand this discipline from each other and insist the club refuse all away tickets.
Having paid our taxes, registered footballers in an honest manner and brought international acclaim to Scottish football, the Celtic Movement is being corrupted by the lowest common denominator.
Our magnificent sporting institution is being destroyed. For the love of all that is decent and meritocratic in the game, we need help from England, Europe or wherever to move out of Scottish football.
I am just about finished with the entire, corrupt, shambles that masquerades as a sport.

People said we couldn’t play
The called us foul-mothed yobs
But the only notes that really count
Are the ones that come in wads
They all drowned when the air turned blue
‘Cos we didn’t give a toss
Filthy lucre, ain’t nothing new
But we all get cash from the chaos
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rock’n’roll swindle
The time is right to do it now
Any money I put into football is for the benefit of Celtic.
No one else.
me?
Hail hail
Get in
When is the meeting being held?
Excellent summary.
BHOYCOTT
P67. I’m in.
A bhoycott will save me a fortune in Champagne and smoked salmon.

I suspected this.
Powerful stuff Paul – and I agree with every word of it.
Credit where it’s due.
Step forward, Charlie Nicholas – The Cannonball Kid
In the Daily Express/Star
Charlie says ” Livingston were dumped into Division Three after going into administration for a second time in 2009 and the same should happen to any Rangers team that re-emerges from the current club being dissolved.” Charlie went on ” There can be no special clauses. No rewriting the SPL Rule Book to suit certain agendas because there’s currently nothing in their regulations about dealing with a club that went into liquidation.”
Well said!
The Cannonball Kid
Hail! Hail!
P.S. I apologise can’t do the link-thing :o(
Paul fine post..sound the warning loud and clear…hh
Time to mobilise (or not if you see what I mean)
Paul –
Do you have any idea what is behind the cancellation of the media conference?
Why dont we pull out of the TV deal also and go our own way with PPV..?
Powerful stuff Paul.
We can’t stand idly by and let this happen. We as a support must unite against this disgrace. I was against a boycott before but if this is the alley that they and the rest of the SPL dross a willing to venture down, then it has my full support.
We can’t let the cheats win.
Hail Hail!!!!
It´s a sham so it is.
For once in my life I’ve got something to say
I wanna say it now for now is today
A love has been given so why not enjoy
So let’s all grab and let’s all enjoy
If the Tims are united then we’ll never be divided
If the Tims are united then we’ll never be divided
Just take a look around you
What do you see
Tims with feelings like you and me
Understand him, he’ll understand you
For you are him, and he is you
If the Tims are united then we’ll never be divided
If the Tims are united then we’ll never be divided
If the Tims are united then we’ll never be divided
If the Tims are united then we’ll never be divided
I don’t want to be rejected
I don’t want to be denied
Then its not my misfortune
That I’ve opened up your eyes
Freedom is given
Speak how you feel
I have no freedom
How do you feel
They can lie to my face
But not to my heart
If we stand together
It will just be the start
If the Tims are united then we’ll never be divided
If the Tims are united then we’ll never be divided
Hail Hail
Go Paul …
Oh Oh, bhoycot!!!!!
Keep telling it like it is Paul
Paul67
You sound surprised??? (Rhetorical)
Bhoycott the bigots and their supporters.
Happy to stand at Celtics side at this time and picket the away games.
MWD
I will join any picket line any time, anywhere, and do everything in my (small) power to stop this state-sponsored corruption in its tracks.
Surely our hopes lie with Europe – they are not about to sit idly by and watch such a disgusting abuse take place?
Paul67,
Shoulder to shoulder!
I’ll be there, on the picket line, every game from now until the end.
Celtic, as a club, should refuse away tickets too, to make it official.
I said yesterday that meeting was to agree a fait accompli and screw us.
I hate being right.
With you all they way there Paul, if that’s what comes to pass.
Powerful, powerful stuff Paul. Well done – leadership of the highest class!
Well said Paul
I would rather watch Celtic in the Junior League !
Paul 67
I will be surprised if Aberdeen and Hibs go along with it, but wait see time I suppose.
We hold the cards. a cash strapped hun is just that, it will not enhance the other clubs bank balances, they know that.
I would be surprised if the club are not in talks with uefa either.
As for a boycott, that would work, no doubt about it.
now, that is a post worth saving !!!!!
there is a lot of dumb and dumber in our country.
you only have to see how the last weeks have unfolded
to realise this.
keep telling it, how it is…. CQN.
protecting our integrity, ethics and morality should always be no 1.
we have the power… to change things for the good.. long term.
BHOYCOTT

Strong stuff Paul, we must stand together in this.
“any part of Celtic that needs rangers, l am prepared to lose”
It is over l fear, Scotland would much rather have a *anger than a Celtic.That my friend is what is going to finish football for me and many others in this country.
Mtt
Dirty bottom feeders the lot of them.
BHOYCOTT 100%
Yesterday’s article had the gang of 10 screwing Ranjurs, today’s is saying they will save them. I’m more inclined to believe this one.
If a newco is allowed to compete in the SPL without sanction it is a very short sighted decision. Scottish Football would be an international laughing stock…. all credibility and sporting integrity (such as it is) would be gone. No one wants to buy a rigged competition, the public who watch the game here and abroad are not stupid and should not be treated as though they are. It would take the Scottish game at least a generation to recover from this. Think very carefully and look ahead before allowing this.
Well said Paul
it is increasingly obvious that there is no limit in how low the hun can go
Paul 67
I take it…just now would not be the right time to tell you what the DARTH VADER type-voice was saying to me in my bad dream last night ? :o)
Hail! Hail!
Paranoid my erchie CSC
No to a newco in the SPL.
Yes to a boycott of all away games.
Let’s do this.
