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.

Where is Liam Scales
Is he the new mod on here😱
Bada – that saddens and maddens me.
WITS,
If you get the number to question 3 before 2:10, can you let me know please? 👍🏼
Fairhill
Think mod should report these monotonous clowns to P67 and he decides the course of action, like banning👍
Bada, that’s the PLC saying to Timmy….
“We, Celtic FC under a PLC stewardship, are the OLDFIRM and now the ball is in your court, Timmy!!”

“Who would win a fight between a Mod and a Rocker”
——————————–
Not sure but I reckon in the fight between the Mod and the Rockets, its the latter that’s winning.
I respect that there is a no swearing rule but this blog is not dying on its feet because of this rule or breaches of this rule.
It is dying because racism is tolerated as a legitimate right of expression.
I find that terribly sad and not in keeping with my idea of Celtic FC values.

Caught a train from Alexandria
Just a broken man in flight
Running scared with his devils
Saying prayers all through the night
Oh but mercy can’t find him
Not in the shadows where he calls
Forsaking all his better angels
That’s how every empire falls
The bells ring out on Sunday mornng
Like echoes from another time
All our innocence and yearning
And sense of wonder left behind
Oh gentle hearts remember
What was that story? Is it lost?
For when religion loses vision
That’s how every empire falls.
He toasts his wife and all his family
The providence he brought to bear
They raise their glasses in his honor
Although this union they don’t share
A man who lives among them
Was still a stranger to them all
For when the heart is never open
That’s how every empire falls
Padlock the door and board the windows
Put the people in the street
“It’s just my job, ” he says “I’m sorry.”
And draws a check, goes home to eat
But at night he tells his woman
“I know I hide behind the laws.”
She says, “You’re only taking orders.”
That’s how every empire falls.
A bitter wind blows through the country
A hard rain falls on the sea
If terror comes without a warning
There must be something we don’t see
What fire begets this fire?
Like torches thrown into the straw
If no one asks, then no one answers
That’s how every empire falls.
Saint Stivs
I hope you might reconsider your choice. This place is really deteriorating rapidly and we can ill afford to lose any more good ghuys.
If you decide not to come back then I hope all the very best to you and yours.

moderator1888 got off to a good start.
Identified the miscreant and hit him wi a sanction
Keep up the good work!
My dad would have been 82 today.
To all the trolls on here,my dad would have said you are all insignificant
And you are 👍
SS -we didn’t get along but you being a Celtic man means a big loss for this place.
💚
Happy Paddy’s Day All

Here’s an AFL coach mate of Ange’s, going a journo for unprofessional and partisan attacks on his team. He calls out the the journo supports an opposing AFL team and how he trades in gossip and gutter journalism.
Gotta love Bevo’s ‘Chopper’ handlebars too ;))
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwFU4y2lV5E
Wonder if Ange will ever be inspired to do similar? Starting with English or Keevins would be a good step.
Tabloid hacks beware!

Reinstate Big Jimmy
Those who he personally attacked wer worthy of it…to ban him for sttaight talkin is nothing short of disgraceful on your part
H.H.
So…Big Packy1….has not been banned?
U do understand that he tried to solicit sympathy on here s by claiming he was dying (aint we all)
But Big Jimmy called out arseholed….where am I shocked ;-))
Happy St Patrick’s Day to all who associate with the Island of Ireland.
No swearing and no personal attacks?
Seems pretty straightforward to me.
Good morning cqn from a lovely crisp, sunny Garngad
Well it’s not really a good morning.
Another good mhan gone SAINT STIVS.
Whilst arsehole/multi moniker sleekit get free reign.
Saint Stivs good luck fella I always enjoyed your posts.
TLT – I echo your posts, ban these nutters and free Big Jimmy, only when we ban these winkers maybe this blog can get back to some sort of resemblance of which it once was.

D :)
St Patrick’s day the whole thing is a shame
https://youtu.be/TuliPrHmyjU
Big Packy was banned I remember a while ago
Obviously Big Packy1 IS NOT BANNED and he occasionally
rubs all our noses in it with a brief appearance on here
His last brief appearance led to Big Jimmy being banned
for telling the truth about that chump
Disgraceful
St Stivs, get back on and I’ll get George Galloway to clue you up about lies that others want you to believe.
Na.i think racists like George Gallochov should be told where to go.The idiot is not even a Celtic fan.but like all else he touches its handy to him
Happy St.Patricks Day.
Be good

Happy St Patrick’s Day from a beautiful sunny but chilly North Staffs.
Ignore the disrupters – welcome Moderator 1888 – are you a Hun ?
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
My only comment on that stupid song that has reappeared is:
What decent practising Catholic would say such vile stuff and use the F word as they express that faith? Furthermore, the term ROMAN Catholic is actually a derogatory remark. It implies that that version of Christianity is not truly Catholic (catholic = universal) and is a form of slavery to Rome, with the Pope being the anti-Christ. Talk about scoring own goals?
Johnny Thompson, Jock Stein, Tommy Gemmell, Danny McGrain, Henrik Larsson, Paul Lambert to name but a few.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
I suspect Big Jimmy had a major fall out with Paul over BP1.
Might not want to come back.
Hope you’re well Big Jimmy.
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who
thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who
speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me
BIG JIMMY should come back as LARGE JAMES – that will fool the blighters…
Good morning all from Govanhill. Thank you St Patrick for another excuse to drink gallons of Guinness. So you all at the Scotia Bar at 12.👍
Ffs see.

Doubt very much if adherents to the “Roamins” have even a little or any understanding of the history of the Christian Church, far less the Roman or indeed any catholic church . No point in trying to discuss theology or indeed much else with those comfortable in their own, whilst indulging themselves. I tend to see them as the true Old Firm fans, keeping the old tradition alive and in so doing have much in common with the present day Celtic Board.

Sadly, you are probably right. In one way, being a Club that is open to all is not necessarily a good thing.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day and HH
I recently read an article in the Irish News (supposedly a nationalist newspaper in the North of Ireland) that talked about the Old Firm and referred to ‘Rangers’ as a club that had suffered a financial melt down in 2012.
Happy St Patrick’s day to all.
St Stivs I read with sadness you have had enough.
Haste ye back, you are needed on here.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day…. used to be the day I came off my Lenten Fast – long, long time ago.

Unhappy SAINT STIVS Day. The most Celtic man on here….. please don’t go! We all need to be more Saint Stivs.
