Boycott call as Celtic fans money promised to re-establish Rangers

1670

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.

    Maybe we should expose FF to the sacrament of reconciliation after explaining to them that it cannot be defrauded by insincerity or crossed fingers behind your back.

     

    Maybe we could redeem them all, getting it all over and done with in the one day. We could ask Glasgow City Council to lend them Belahouston Park for the purpose of a public humilification. (made up word)

     

     

    I wonder if more than 12 would bother to turn up. I wonder if the Pope would be interested in doing the gig.

    Rather than deal with the actual issues on the table or stop and listen and take into consideration what the Marginalised Person is saying, they just whip this out instead!

     

     

    Essentially, what you are doing is claiming that any endeavour by Marginalised People to improve their standing within society and the treatment they experience is a “conspiracy” “against” the Privileged and that the ultimate objective of this fearsome “conspiracy” is to ultimately oppress the Privileged.

     

     

    It is a common misperception of the Privileged to believe that any effort by the Marginalised to gain equity undermines the Privileged and their lives. It is a very unique and special trait to personalise something like Black History Month, for example, as being an effort to make the history and accomplishments of white people invisible. Although this is obviously ridiculous when white history is so prominently covered in every aspect of culture from film, books, monuments and education, it is a great way to once again make the dialogue about the Privileged and the Privileged’s perceived ill-treatment, imaginary though this may be. This way you manage to keep the focus off the topic at hand and on your own sense of wounded comfort – a lovely way to remind the Marginalised their issues are thoroughly unvalued.

     

     

    Naturally, it is of extreme frustration to Marginalised People ,when all they are attempting to do is draw attention to the extreme discrimination they are obliged to face, to have it characterised as a calculated attack on the rights of the Privileged.

     

     

    You can further underscore and intensify this frustration by accusing them of a conspiracy, the ultimate objective of which is to make your life as a Privileged Person a living hell! Go so far as to suggest they intend to turn the tables – that if given an inch they will simply take a mile and if the Privileged budge or relent, in the blink of an eye the Marginalised will overthrow and oppress the oppressors!

     

     

    After all, how dare they think they are entitled to the same human rights you enjoy automatically by virtue of your Privilege!

     

     

     

    Another excert from ‘Derailing for Dummies’.

  3. I forgot how brilliant Connie Francis was and is. My way to becoming a Celtic supporter I have said on this blog before. (Bad grammar and English usage but I’m half ways over) but it makes me thing of Pablophanhge? A love of music and football. they are so interrelated it’s not true. Don’t believe me? Messi, Best, Jinky, Maradona, Cryuff–need I go on? Oh!–and Paddy McCourt.

  4. Me? I think it’s all a fine obsession,but here’s my other half’s take on things after nearly a month of it :

     

    “Yeah…every day there’s a new story about Ragers,but how much can be said? They’re dishonest & they’re broke. That’s it,in a nutshell.”

     

    This,from a woman who’s been in the stands at Parkhead,singing & roaring with the best of us. But she’s right,and she keeps me sane.

     

    They are dishonest. They are broke. And like any dying animals,they will do and say anything for one last breath,one last glimpse of light in the face of eternal night. Because,that’s where they’re headed. Oblivion.

  5. kitalba,

     

     

    you’re obviously alraedy well-informed, maybe from reading about the crimes inflicted on the indigenous population in Australia…

     

     

    I would recommend, if you can get hold of it,. John Waters’ Dancing at the Crossroads. He writes about the colonial cringe, the sense of inferiority held by the Irish after years of subjugation by another culture, and how that manifested itself first in the strong assertion of “Irishness” through the oppressive teaching of Irish language, Irish dancing, and the repressive strain of Irish Catholicism; then we saw (in the 80s) the vehement repudiation of those aspects of Irish culture as backward and primitive, only to have them subsequently reclaimed, but some would say undermined, by “modern” culture through the likes of the Pogues and Father Ted.

     

     

    Great read, great writer. And there are huge parallels to be drawn with Scotland and how it presents itself to the outside world, and how it reflects on itself (“Scottish cringe”, shortbread tins, unmerited obsession with “London / Westminster”…)

    I can’t find a link for the masonic dollar bill film (last in series), you will have to watch it in individual parts.

     

     

    Theres a much much bigger battle going on but we must try to win as many small battles as possible.

  9. You say you got a real solution

     

    Well, you know

     

    We’d all love to see the plan

     

    You ask me for a contribution

     

    Well, you know

     

    We’re doing what we can

     

    But when you want money

     

    For people with minds that hate

     

    All I can tell is brother you have to wait

    brief response to one of your specific points…I have stopped being surprised at how many people – supposedly intelligent, thirld-level educated, liberal, middle-class – moan annually about the MOBO awards (“why isn’t there a Music of White Origin Awards?”). I haven’t stopped patiently explaining the answer, but Jesus, that I need to???

    Wipeout soundtrack, whats not to like.

     

     

    Leftfield/Playstation whats the difference.

  12. In the beginning the universe was created,

     

    this has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

    So whats Celtic’s business plan these days embdy know?

     

    I am sure its based on the various Newco outcomes.

     

    However, it looks like the SPL 10 are hatching there business plans right now with Celtic excluded.

     

    So

     

    a) newco in SPL ..whats the plan?

     

    b) newco in 3rd division …whats the plan?

     

    c) No newco ..whats the plan?

     

     

    or are they just going to wait and be out manouevred by the usual bigoted cheating scum suspects of Scotland? Hope not.

  14. I hope that kitalba has not started watching the movies now. I was meaning when he has spare time to watch.

     

     

    Those documentaries are very long.

  15. Margaret McGill on

    Look…there are two types of Celtic Supporters in this world.

     

    a) Those that can extrapolate from incomplete data

  16. the last thing i want to do is stir,

     

    i just like to make people think,

     

    it’s not against the law…….yet.

  17. Margaret McGill on 10 March, 2012 at 02:11

     

     

    I’m reckoning that Paul67 put up todays article to frighten the sneaky 10.

     

     

    Celtic will lose at least 10000 fans if they don’t do the right thing. They are not daft.

     

     

    P8ddy made a great post yesterday, perhaps someone will know where it was located. I’ve not been able to keep up with all the stuff, probably like most people.

  18. Almost everyone would say they believe in freedom,but they don’t.

     

    They believe in their version of freedom,which is usually not freedom at all.

     

    This is a crucial point.If we don’t know what freedom really is,how can we ever secure it?

     

    Most people are frightened of freedom in its true sense because it means that people they disagree with,or who choose lifestyles that they condemn,have the very same rights and freedoms that they do.

    I posted this last week.

     

     

    I am a great believer in free speech.

     

    One thing that most free speech believers believe is that there is such a thing as free speech. Free speech is defending the most ignorant arrogant violent disgusting scum to say what they want.

     

    I think this should be the case.

     

    Let them sing their famine song

     

    Let them sing about knees and blood

     

    If you do your time will come dont throw it away.

     

    Defamation of character, the judiciary, the anti sectarian laws…all cannon fodder for the dumb!

     

    oh yeah and sweary words for the religious like it actually meant something

     

     

    heh its the Coo Clutch clan

    And you are so right.

     

     

    Disable their views on the podium. There can be no more emphatic finishing move.
