I was at a lecture in Glasgow a few years back on certain mental health conditions when the presenter claimed 1% of the population met the criteria for psychopathy. In a theatre with 700 people, he noted, that meant 7 of us.
My mind immediately did the sum; 1% of 60,000 people: 600! You would think 600 psychopaths littered through a football stadium would create mania, but it doesn’t work like that. Even psychopaths learn to moderate their behaviour to conform in most circumstances. The power of those around them is important.
I was not at Tannadice on Monday and did not hear any of the offensive material I am assured was sung by some in the Celtic support. This was an issue (although not always viewed as a problem) for decades, before the move the new Celtic Park stopped it. That hiatus ended in 2011 when we listened to Oldco fans signing their songbook at Hampden, convinced the book would be thrown at them, before hearing then-Justice Secretary, Kenny MacAskill, praise fans for their behaviour. The floodgates have never been completely closed since.
What matters most is not that you have some who stand among you who are prepared to tarnish your reputation, but how everyone else responds. If even psychopaths moderate their behaviour, the almost universal condemnation of the behaviour Celtic fans have shown since Monday will help us police ourselves. All of us who care about Celtic, have a responsibility to raise our voice.

Think the new mods remit is reasonable, seems clear that the autonomy on banning posters is P67 and his alone, it is his blog afterall.

Maybes he does, as I said I don’t know the man.
Aye the pool is a pain, it will take an age to get sorted, had the leccy not skyrocketed I would have filtered it over a week or so, but it’s cheaper to empty it and fill it again, but I bet by the time I get round to it they hike the price of water, empty shelves at the supermarkets today, was in town first thing, then we hit a lorry drivers blockade who are on strike cos of the fuel prices and it took an age to get through, the polis didn’t have a scooby how to control it, ejits they were.

I have been involved, both directly and indirectly, in building communities on social media/forums for a number of years now
I cannot only be seen here as a negative presence, and nor do I want to be
I will interact as much as I can – just maybe not as much as I have tonight
Thank you for your response Moderator,
I hear what you say but regretfully it doesn’t give me much encouragement.
If a guy gets banned and can circumvent the VPN & return within days or even hours with a new Moniker then he can simply continue where he left off, but an elderly Tim who might not be Tech Savvy is permanently banished .
Doesn’t sit well with me.

………………..
A very heartfelt post and a very good read. I think I may be the poster who broke (your) the camel’s back. I did call you an arsehole on Saturday morning for your posts regarding the Census. I now apologise for that.
I logged on not very long ago and I read the reaction from other posters to your post. It’s clear that you have a lot of people on here who would miss your historical posts which they – and I – find interesting. We’ve had a couple of verbal skirmishes in the past and it’s obvious that we rub each other up the wrong way. I’ll say no more in order to avoid further unpleasantness but I would ask you to reconsider your decision to leave the blog. I am more than happy to do so as I have other factors in my life that keep me fully occupied at the moment.
I hope you will forgive me though if I come on at the end of what has been a surprisingly brilliant season so far – against all odds – to congratulate Celtic and Ange on a Double or Treble.
I’ll leave it at that.
Brilliant post St Stivs.
Respect.
I still enjoy the blog (some days immensely so) but the sense of community has diminished somewhat.
For me, it’s symptomatic of the internet age.
Anonymity mixed with impatience, intolerance of other points of view and need for instant gratification.
Toxic mix.
Nonetheless still worth the effort IMHO.
On a humorous note …
… for some reason the comments about blog rules reminded me of the episode of Porridge when Mr MacKay tries to set the tone with the recently incarcerated Godber.
“There are only 2 rules in here
“You don’t write in the walls …
… and you obey all the rules !”
🤭🤭
TOSB……………
Fair Play to you.
Hope you don’t scoot – we all have busy lives.
Exiting the site doesn’t help the cause.

BelmontBrian,
John Peel was in Scotland and The Delgados took him the the Electric Bar in Motherwell.
Late in the evening one of the local drunks cane up and and started spouting to Peel how X song (maybe a Stranglers song) was the best song of all time.
When next on the radio X song opened the show and Peel dedicated it to “Jimmy” from the pub.
Hail Hail
My bed is calling
I am half way thru 14 Peaks, but am desperately trying to get into the new series of Peaky Blinders (which my oldest daughter loves and I just can’t get into)
Daft article.
Are we supposed to believe that with all that is going on at the moment the most pressing threat to the reputation of the club and the support is a few narky young upstarts singing a couple of dodgy add ons?
If only.
ST STIVS
Heartfelt post,i enjoy your comments and pictures will miss if you go,reconsider or they will win.
TET
Cops……….see Ottawa the protesters built a village in the city and scared the shit out of some locals.Went on for about three to four weeks.
Ernie,
What else is threatening the reputation of the support?
Timbhoy163,
I’m glad you kept asking about the hotel etc. I had been wondering myself. Here’s hoping something comes of it soon.
ST STIVS<
Nae flouncing now.
Been a few flounced fae here.
I would imagine a lot of them still lurk.
You have positive input.
I have been on here a lot of years.
You are never a scrollby.

Ernie,
What else is threatening the reputation of the support?
###
It will be used as a stick to beat the support with.
Those who are going to criticise will not discriminate. Just as they don’t discriminate between the 58,000 or so silent majority and the few dozen singing the naughty songs.
It will be Interesting, being on the HCTS, if me and Aidan can get more than 1 ticket. Shay Given that there husnae been any Hame games. It’ll be a miracle.
When we hud hame games with very small crowds. What wis the Criteria!
No Hame games so dinnae expect anything.
As Long as the Celts turn up. Kyogo is Born to Play @ Hampden.
Its freaky efter seeing Kyogo’s workrate and seeing a Faster version Touching down at Celtic Park.
Scarey for Scottish Defenders.
Daezen when he slows down a bit will be OOH AAH UP the CELTS.
St Stivs
•••••••••
Get back on here mhan!!
I miss awe the irn bru bottles rattling aff ma napper thrown by you and many others lol 😶
I don’t know what happened to Big Jimmy but he used to throw full bottles too mhan 🏃
But it was bottles of cyber face slaps, could be a lot worse than that, but it isn’t imho.
I can’t recall your census posts, my mind is all foggy?? loads of folk have been red carded, Awe Naw, Mags McGill, KoJo, The Singing Detective, BMCWP, and loads more, even Kev J resigned from the blog?? Can that happen?? Well that’s what it said on his final post on CQN, would he be allowed to return?? SFTB thinks that I’m Kev J, what?? Some folk seem to be living on in others heads, rent free as well. Very strange.
St Stivs, get back on and I’ll get George Galloway to clue you up about lies that others want you to believe.
Maybe not, but get a big piping hot cup of tea into you, don’t drink it when its piping hot for heavens sake, then get back on here and get they irn bru bottles raining down again, keep well St Stivs, I know you are like a few others on here who just don’t get where I’m coming from, why would , or should you care?? Well if folk build walls then they send out a not very welcome message, don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those who shouts for all the doors to open, to let in all refugees, without adding the context that I too would personally open my door and let the refugees live in my house especially when its the lying media and politicians who are banging the refugee drums, the same drums being banged by the same lying media, and the same lying politicians who’ve spent the last 2+ years banging the lying drums about a killer virus with a 99.9999997% recovery rate, yeah they did, so switch the TV news off, the real viruses that they are, Celtic fans should have gold plated PhDs about the lying media, banging their lying drums. Take care St Stivs 👍
True FACTs 👇
____________
It’s simple:
Iraq WMD is lie.
Afganistan a lie.
Cuban decades sanctions lie.
Anything you think you know about China is a Western lie.
You think Western version of anything else is true?
Keep using the same sources and you keep getting the same answer.

Deleted. debate the content not your opinion of the poster
—————————–
I am here for
1. No swearing on this blog, regardless of provocation or circumstances (we can surely debate without resorting to that – IRL I swear like a trooper lol) This is a core value of this blog and has been for as many years as I can remember.
2. No personal attacks on the poster based on who the poster is (or is not)- we debate/negotiate/ jibber jabber/argue our points based on the content not the man. Again this is a core value of this blog
All the other stuff (hunterlopers, multi names etc etc) regardless of what I think,it is not what I am here for
If you don’t like the poster and can’t debate on the content, then scroll past
SS- sad to read your post,a sign of the times i suppose, hope you are back on here some day,HH

Thats disapointing to read that Mod.It is that cancer that is killing this place.it can be dealt with swiftly.The tech is there.
Good luck mate.seem to recall old mods would say for eg, moniker your hh:mm post,has been removed wi a write to Paul line if you want to query.would that be it?
All the best.

On the subject of some of the words to some of the songs………….
The best Tim I had the pleasure of knowing and supporting Our Great Club with was a non-Catholic from Ersha.
Jackie loved life and Celtic was central to his life.
Win Lose or Draw during every game I think of him and marvel at the huge draw Our Club has.
St Stivs , keep on keeping on. I hope you keep posting but understand your reasons for wanting to leave. It’s not pleasant place it once was.
Too many posters give the impression , their egos , a desire to be proven right/ I told you so and causing division are more important than the blog being an enjoyable place to read about Celtic .
Ernie, cheers for getting back to me.
I’m not sure if I agree with you. For example I think if Celtic fans booed any sectarian chants/add ons most people/commentators would agree were trying to do the right thing.
Who would win a fight between a Mod and a Rocker
Where is Liam Scales
Who will win the 2.10 at Cheltenham tomorrow
Those 3 above are my contribution to the quiz

Didn’t take long…..
You won’t find the answers in the MSM

“Where is Liam Scales”
He’s weighting somewhere, okay, okay, I’ll get ma coat, St Stivs wait for me…:))) por cierto
