You can hate “the Donut” all you want and resent PL’s “tight purse strings” in yer demand for chucking money at a competition we’ve been systematically cheated in year after year.
This is not the time to spread or encourage division amongst the Celtic Support.
Those issues need to be dealt with after we’ve stood up to our attackers. Aye, bring on the comments about the silence of the Celtic Board. Show your naievety.
They (the Board) aren’t relevant and they never have been.
So if you concentrate on them, you’re weakening the Celtic Support at a time when we are under a full throttle attack.
That needs dealt with first. That’s the priority just now.
If we can rescue ourslelves from that, then any issues with the PLC can be attacked.
Anyone that insists on dividing the Celtic Support at this particular time either hasn’t thought through what they’re proposing, or worse, has an agenda.
Absolutely simple stuff.
KevJ,
You too amigo.

I would also say that, Graeme Spiers who said on the Clyde phone-in that, “it’s part of the Celtic DNA to sing TBOTOB, that reflects the very essence of the, origins of the club!”
Fair play to Graeme Spiers as well!

I don’t intend to, cross swords with you Amigo but, has it ever occured to you that….
the establishment have their guns trained on Celtic FC because, they know that CFC is a, rudderless ship with a, chocolate fire-guard/PLC/CEO to protect us ?
Maybe, just maybe….the establishments current siege of CFC will shed the light on the fragility of ‘our’ club that has taken some Celtic fans a wee bit longer to, cotten-on to ?

Is Dermot Desmond, an investor of no small amount of money, a target for the disappointmen of Celtic Supporters.
Or should we be focusing more on the Scottish Establishment – especially after even the Scottish Legal Est. & the Polis have revealed their true colours in recent weeks.
Should we really be targetting ourselves and dividing our entity while every legally established body in Scotland is attacking us.
And the meeja.

We need to focus on the fights we can win.
This is an orchestrated attack on more than Celtic. It goes much deeper than that. We are seeing this more every day on many different levels.
We need to be smart….and sometimes we will need to be patient……and we need to Unite for the fight……and not be distracted by those whose sole purpose it is to divide us.
It is not a time for egos….it is a time for Unity

Am not saying stand by them.
They are completely irrelvant in the supporters eyes.
That’s how it should be.
If they still to prove to be an issue in a few years – we’ll deal with that.
In the meantime, concentration needs to be on the thousands of enemies banging at our door demanding we leave Scotland, and destroying our reputation to drag us down to their level.
Celtci FC is about the support. We need to organise ourselves. Simple.
And that should appeal to PL haters as that would be the same movement that would inevitably move on to CFC after pounding back the bigots from our front feckin door.
Grrrr. Me angry now ……….

I have to disagree with you.
This has not descended upon Celtic this season. The signs were there in 2005.
After 2009 I became convinced that the bored are Charlatans. They have NOT
chucked money at anything. They may have spent like idiots to camouflage their naivety
and ignorance. The whole Celtic “business” has contracted in this time frame.
What is obvious to me is that they only understand on how to operate on an OF
dimension. They have no vision or ambition other than technocratic fulfillment.
Since the bored determine the Celtic agenda this is why you are wrong here.
That’s why I worry for Neil. I would love to see him manager for many many years. Nurtured, funded, encouraged, assisted given a chance. Somehow I dont get the feeling that there is a camaraderie between them. Not sure that there is even a dialogue.
KevJungle @ 03:59
Nope.
The likelihood is they are all more tied in together in ways we couldn’t even imagine.
It’s not a time to unite the Celtic Support against the Celtic Board.
It’s a time to unite the Celtic Support against our enemies.
Mags,
Again your points are fair.
Should we bring the PLC down then?

At the end of the season
2010 Never Again
Night is dark as just before the dawn
Hail redemption Ireland is reborn
And as we’re all Celtic anyhow
And we’re going to stick together now
We’re on the one road
Maybe the long road
We’re on the road to God knows where
We’re on the one road
Maybe the wrong road
But we’re together now, who cares
North men, south men, comrades all
Dublin, Galway, Cork and Donegal
We’re on the one road

Singing the soldier’s song
Altogether now!!!……….Soldiers are we……..

I agree with you that the bored are charlatans but, in terms of spending money…….
I think that the bored are afraid to bring in a, sharp suited manager who knows his way around the block, someone like Brendan Rogers ?
A poster earlier called Lawwell a crook ?
IMO, Lawwell invites that type of charge!
Hail! Hail!
Yep.
Now’s the big question.
If our supporters are getting arrested all over the country, due to the political agenda to implement the so-called anti-sectarian bill, what should the Celtic Support do?
At the moment, we have a few people doing their best – the CSA and other smaller groups. Of course CFC PLC is contributing, but in silent ways, because the huns see that as supporting terrorism, being diddies and what-not.
If not for them (the CSA), our fellow Celtic supporters would just be additional statistics, and would be spending time in jail purely to even up the figures.
There’s some seriously sinister things going on just now. It’s not the time to be launching attacks at PL.
It’s way more frightening than that.

I view the bored as the enemie’s of the Celtic support!
If the bored were the allie’s of the Celtic support then, why are they toe-ing the establishment line in spite of, the Celtic support standing strong in the face of the establishment ?

Why dont they buy RANGERS?
whatever the going price is.
Bury them.
KevJ/Mags
Sorry folks, but the arguments you two have been pushing are absolutely miniscule to the situation just now.
If you both care as much for your agendae as you have both been doing your best to sell, you’ll see that this is the best opportunity for you both.
Unite all just now against a multitude of enemies, and then attack the inner circle to your hearts’ content.
While you both sort out your method and approach, Celtic Supporters will keep on being arrested on their way to Celtic Park for being …Celtic Supporters.
Let me know how you plan to deal with that before the numbers reach ridiculous levels.
Luvvin yer work btw, both of ye.

Why don’t Celtic FC ban the police and, ‘police’ the games themselve’s ?

ok fair enuff. We are all behind our beloved Lenny.
We really dont need something Scottish to hate.
We dont. Does not have to be that way
Think out of the 18 yard box.
If you have money you can buy anything. Capitalism at its best.
Last I heard they were going for a pound.
As for the rest (The SFA, SPL, the police etc etc, ) who cares ..we dont care what the animals say
As long as Celtic pay their taxes to HMG on such a purchase there’s nothing to worry about.
OK FFM I am going to pull you up on this next year.

Sorry pal, but that’s the usual condescending stuff from you.
We have a more immediate and serious battle at the moment.
Like I said, if you want to raise a movement, it would be much stronger after dealing with the current, serious issue.
THAT is simple.
Afterwards, turn the attack dogs on whomever.
KevJ @ 04:38
That’s the kind of thinking we need, as you well know.

If, PL and the bored are the type of people you think they are…..
why haven’t any of them come out and asked, ” what songs offend and, why ?”
The bored/PLC/CEO have to be seen to be in the same movie as the Celtic support. So far, thats not been the case!
Hail! Hail!
Fortune. I never would agree about throwing money away
But in the case of Peter lawell he stole 5m of our money to ensure his target of zero debt was maintained
He us a crook and a liar
Always better to attack establishment as scotlands top club ie the champions
The top enemies of our club are DD and PL
United against them 1st then we can be united against other forces against us
They are just loving this
You are suporting PL and huns 4 in a row

“more immediate and serious battle at the moment.”
Hasnt changed in 130 years mate. Sorry. Check yer history. Same as it ever was.
Problem is..you dont get it ..like the 3k Celtic supporters that showed up at Tulloch today.
The only reason you think its serious is because the Scottish institutions are attacking Celtic
because of the Taxes Rangers and the media have decided the agenda. Wise up.
I apologize if I come over as condescending it is not my intent, however, I cannot be held
responsible for the conceptual difficulties of fellow Tims.
The Green Brigade
Celtic Trust
Celtic supporters association
The above groups have, displayed the collective type of will that is sadly lacking in the boredroom at present.
I personally think that, I have seen more coverage of this attempted on-slaught to the Celtic fans than I was aware of after the recent, hun be-fouling of the city of Manchester ?
I mean, If we had a statesman like, Desmond White on ‘our’ bored then, I think the tables would be well and truly turned by now!
DD, PL and the rest of the faceless wonders who, constitute ‘our’ bored are, exactly what the huns need at this moment in time! IMO

Fholks,
ST/ Mags/ KevJ
Three of my favourite night-time posters disagreeing with me all at once.
But you are all missing what I’m getting at.
We’re in a situation that hasn’t been seen before – hard to believe when you consider the mince our Club has had to tolerate in the past, but true.
And of course I’m glhad to be discussing it with fellow Tims like yourselves.
Am asking you to see that things are down a sinister road at the moment, that are way beyond what we’ve discussed in the past.
What I’m saying should be (forgive the metaphor) a carrot to your fat donkey arses.
A chance to unite the support when it is absolutely crucial….and then take on the Board if that is still your want.

What is going down with you tonight ?
The Celtic support in the shape of…..
The Green Brigade
The Celtic Trust
The Celtic supporters association have ALL snubbed the police/establishment/SNP etc…
meanwhile back at Celtic Park, the nodding(churchill)dogs have aligned with the police etc ?
The bored have not stepped up to the plate yet and, I don’t think they will!
The trail leads back to when Lawwell signed Celtic FC’s soul to the devil in the shape of the new, un-workable parliment bill!
In a room of about, forty freemasons and, one catholic(Lawwell), I think Lawwell should have said…”we at Celtic FC will NOT be party to this rhetoric….”
If Lawwell had told the parliment to, sfuff it then, I would have been one of the tousands of Celtic fans who would have carried Lawwell all the way along London Road!
Hail! Hail!
Fortune. We started this battle a number of years ago, the fans are nearly all united
I have heard that some members if the board are delighted with this battle and have been actively stoking the fire, anything to take away from the upcoming transfer window and keep our club debt free and trophy free, but ensure high salaries are taken out the club if the debt free is continued
One battle at at time
KevJ
Can’t disagree with you there.
ST,
That’s the worry.
To both of you, like I said before, we’ve a real battle on our hands. The Board/PLC are completely irrelevant,
That’s a battle to come many moons after the current war I’m afraid.
We’re uyp against it now, and it needs the Celtic Support to prove its’ credentials.
That’s another reason why the first victim of attack has been the GB.
The first sign of unity and subversionagainst the establishment.
ST & KevJ – I know you both appreciate that,

To get the gist of what you are saying, I think you mean that, we should sort Celtic FC before we look over the wall ?
If that is what you mean then, I’m with you all the way!
Celtic has to become Celtic again!
To do that, might mean some bloody-noses have to be dished out as per the historical baggage attached to ‘our’ club. By that I mean that…TOO many hands can currently be found in the seed-box and, that has to stop! It has to stop now!
Until Celtic is run by, CELTIC-men then, we will continue to stumble along! IMO!

The Celtic support who, imo, showed the b#lls that the board are lacking when, the Celtic support told the police to go and take a walk!
There was a stand-off between the police and, the Celtic support with the Celtic support standing STRONG!
Maybe if there was some of the Celtic supports spirit in the boardroom then, we might have been out of here a long time ago!

Fortune if we don t fight the against the board now, many more transfer windows like the one we just had will come and go
Leaving us a battle to finsh 2nd in the league and half empty stadiums and the police and Sfa will have indeed won
To fight this battle you want and leave our board alone, will allow the Huns to march on to 6 in a row
Is that what you really want?
Of course not, fight the real battle and then, 60,000 fans who are the champions will unite against the establishment
Then and only then will victory be assured
Fight from 2nd Place and empty stadiums and there will be only one winner
