LP
And I will be there with you bud, as I have been since ’68.
PL is doing his master’s work ….he is an employee…he us under instruction
I’m not a fan of PLs only because of the decisions the club makes with him as CEO …. I’m sure he’s a decent enough guy .
As an aside what have the GB got to do with CFC stewards flinging fans out for being fans and censoring what scarves some of them have on …….some people need to open their eyes
CP will be like a sparsely populated library next season ….and …yer previous balance sheet will loom a whole lot worse
I like the fact they everybody on here is congratulating the 25k or so who trooped along today in what was amongst the worst weather I’ve ever experienced at a game!
They all deserve a 10% reduction on next years ST….well done!

I was at the game today, but if the club continue their tirade against my fellow supporters, I’ll take the hit and not go. Their vision of Celtic is entirely different from mine. Thing is when they have moved on to a new career path, I’ll still be a Celtic supporter.
Erin go brach is a Belfast CSC and the biggest in Ireland. I see elsewhere they are considering a boycott. The support from Donegal has fallen away over the years , with Belfast and Derry now the largest.
Jimmibhoy you touch on a key point about Celtic. Lawwell runs it from top to bottom including controlling every signing that is made. He controls the purse strings and decides on the level of investment. When John Reid was Chairman he was a buffer to Lawwells financial approach and pushed through the spending one january transfer window to secure 3 in a row for Strachan and Celtic.
Lawwell risked CL qualification by not signing replacements for the best players he knew would be sold. Pukki when he did come was a Lawwell signing – there was no pushing the boat out for Fingobasson ; Lawwell killed that deal by offering £2M below the asking price.
Lawwell has taken a decision to sanitise the clubs support. It is turning many of the fans against the PLC. It will have commercial income consequences and a very significant impact on season ticket sales next season.
Alienating the Irish cscs and the many close contacts in Scotland will cost Celtic 10k season tickets.
The manager is a Lawwell puppet and has taken Celtic as far as he can or will be allowed.
The weakness in Lawwells power at Celtic is that it’s one mans vision and it’s not the inclusive Celtic way.
Sadly Lawwell is slowing killing our club even tho it’s not his intention.
Next season will be pay at the gate.

Up to a point.
But I don’t think PL is a mere cats paw. I think he’s given a broad remit and allowed a degree of discretion as to how it’s implemented. Furthermore he’s adopted a fairly entrenched position and it will be difficult for him to move from that without a loss of face.
If today’s crowd represents the average for next season with a commensurate drop in season books ….I doubt that anyone at CP will think today’s crowd was good …
Today’s crowd was good because thousands of season books are already paid for …even tho the seats weren’t taken up today
I’m thinking that maybe the donuts remit to PL and co is to keep Celtic in mothballs till Celtic can get into the EPL or future equivalent. Then the moustached Munster maestro can take center stage in public. Just a theory that explains the current 4 Condiments of:
EPL Fodder
Nice turnover
last 16 in champions league if yer lucky
wonder what the huns are daein.
as its going now the Lawwellists consists of the happyclappers and the battered wife hun addicts who cant wait for the huns to come back and batter us.
Would also explain the unmerited pay raises and salaries.

Fair enough, I’ll take your word for it. That is totally unacceptable and will alienate just about everyone, myself included.
Imo the criminalisation of our support is almost complete
to the point you feel you need to prove your innocence
when you put your green and white scarf on.

Celtic Nation won again today.
Neymar again,,2-1 the barca
Lots of bandwagon mischief-making by those opposed to the Club………

See where you are coming from however take me as an example of today’s low attendance. I have four SB’s in my car and three were not at the game because today is their Xmas party. As regards me I knew I was not going to make today when I hit the double figures on pints last night on my Xams doo………

is that the Carlisle thing?

I will be there till my last breath, don’t like the current position. Think all tiers of management of Celtic need to improve.
There seems to be a vacancy for our Hibernianesque club. The Edinburgh club seem to have took over the guise of the Oldco, with their WATP chants.
Celtic targeting Celtic fans – sorry no, doesn’t compute. Can’t get my head round this one. I believe all the reports from you guys at the game but I just don’t understand why.
Margaret McGill
Yip. Five years from League 2.
Tonight for me is a true low on the blog. I would be happy if Paul pulled the plug.
Delaneys Dunky
I understand that stance. Problem is the club seem to be targeting us.

Change to what….hooded Ultras sweeping round the slopes of Paradise, chanting…Tories out, Labour out ….Monster Loonie Party in…..to hell with watching the Football with pride in our Club, instead of a competition for the most outlandish poster to CHANGE THE WORLD….’time and place’ springs to mind….

They did that at Easter Rd as well, its some of the “section 44” mob, bunch of weans with plooks and no brains………..
Feel absolutely dejected tonight, disgusted and dismayed at where we are as a club.
My day started off poorly with the trek up from the bus park at the velodrome with my boy in tow his first game back in about 18 months he is only 11 and went for 2 seasons then decided he didn’t fancy it which is fair enough; when I take him it keeps me off the drink!
We got absolutely soaked, drenched in the time it took to walk up to the ground, there were 3 adults with 4 kids and our intention was to go into the Kerrydale lounge out of the weather, we arrived there at around 1335. There was a que of about 30 – 40 supporters waiting to get entry as it was full already. The ground wasn’t opened yet and we were all standing out in the mercy of the elements, it was 1 out 1 in.
Now with no available facilities queing frozen, soaked and miserable we inched up the que until around 1355 when there were around 60 – 70 fans now waiting to be told the lounge was now shut and nobody else would gain entry today!! Unbelievable………..
At least the ground opened at 1400, by this time we were soaked through. What business in the world leaves between 70 – 80 customers standing in conditions you wouldn’t leave a dog in, who are all waiting to spend money on your product services, absolute and utter madness, especially on days when the weather was so bad?
Right fair enough we said tried to dry off a bit get some hot drinks and food for the kids, 3 pies 3 Large juices, a burger and a Bovril – £19 ish, £19 bloody quid!!
I sit in section 123 the game starts and a group of around 6 young guys are half way down the front tier standing trying to start songs, all Celtic songs not one rebel song and no add on’s, doing absolutely nothing illegal or causing any hassle. I turned to the guy i sit next to and said i will give you 5 minutes before the stewards move in.
Sure as fate, 2 stewards move in to have a quick chat and tell one bhoy to keep the aisle clear, the bhoy complies and they go back to singing. They young guys must have decided they would be better up the back of section 123 where they can stand and not cause any hassle for other fans.
They move up there and again i turn to my mate and say i will give them 10 minutes this time, before the thought police will be up there!
Sure as fate they go up team handed and hassle them again, this time section 123 is getting a bit tasty with the general supporters now getting angry at the harassment of these bhoys for doing nothing more than singing, even my lad asked dad why are they lads getting bothered, will we get bothered if we stand up and sing?
Next minute 2 of the Focus unit i think but 2 of Police Scotlands finest move into the very corner section of 123 where it meets the south stand and starts to film them for the rest of the game, why? What for? Supporting your team is not a crime!
Is this our club, is this what we want Celtic to be, is this the club we want to hand to our sons and daughters?
This is 100% the truth with no spin or agenda.

Strange comment …if you’re not happy just stay off
We’ve all done it from time to time
Today’s crowd was down to wether/Christmas saving money happens every year simple. Those who won’t renew won’t be missed.

or you could log out.
Congrats GB, mission accomplished, return to base.
What gets me is people coming on here announcing they won’t renew their SB. They want to come across all fierce and indignant but how pathetic is that? They’re saying, ‘Look at me, I’m a superior type of Celtic supporter because I won’t support Celtic.’ And, invariably, they’re looking for applause. Attention seekers of the silliest species.
I’m usually quite pro-board but things have really had me questioning my stance over the past weeks. The first is the continued silence over the almost 100% infiltration of our football media by that guy Jack Irvine. It’s all very well saying don’t buy papers and don’t listen to the radio, but when most of the people you come into contact with on a daily basis believe his garbage it becomes tiresome. This is bad enough, but when it gets to the stage when he is writing Campbell Ogilvie’s SFA press releases, it is time to speak out.
Supporting the Green Brigade, HH
Deary me….. ffs Paul post your match report, give us
something to debate…….I’m getting stupider with every
post I read on here.
5 young fans were ejected by the stewards……..stewards looked to have checked their tickets……most probably they were seated or standing where they shouldn’t have been……spoke to a few guys who were at fir park……one said his club had booked 12 seats together…but on arrival they were taken up by the GB, who insisted they go and find themselves a seat elsewhere…….one remarked that 80k had went to Seville….with no trouble and that they had only brought shame on the club
All very depressing and I said long time ago; that the carry on with the bigots from the South-side have hurt us more than them. They’re crowds great and ours poor and going down fast. They have galvanised (because remember they’re crowds were mince before their trouble) and the Tic fans are leaving in droves, disgusted with all that is/has gone on. As I said all very depressing.
I reckon the board think they are running a city centre club: no-one under 21 welcome and no colours. According to reports the youths were standing and singing…wait for it…Celtic songs! Green and white will be a no go soon.
No damage to seats today and no smoke bombs yet youngsters are ejected and the video unit are busy sticking a camera in their face. Too many good ghuys are feeling the disconnect now between the board and the fans and are voting with their feet.
Well that was freezing today, my ghirls are still trying to heat up.
Thought Biton looked good today and Izzy too.
Stokes just looked as though he was in a huff all game. Any time a move broke down or he didn’t get a pass he was looking so annoyed. He needs to put in more effort sometimes and show more desire, and not let his head go down.
As for the stewards- what was that all about? The bhoys singing were right up the back in the South West corner. They were just having a sing song, all perfectly acceptable songs. Yes they may have had a beer before the game for all I know, but what’s wrong with that, we’ve all done it. Thought it was a total over-reaction from the stewards.
Official attendance on the BBC website says 46,000 were there !!
Try 25,000 absolute max.
Well done to those that braved it today.
I hope there is a better attendance against Hearts next Saturday, it’s a 12:15 kick off
Hail Hail

That is quite sad mate.
Home, dried oooot, fed & bathed.
Still glad I went even on a dreadful day for football, got to spend the day with my nephews Bhoy an 11 who just loves to watch the celtic.
He said he didn’t fancy Teemu at CF ,I said he would probably score now and always try and KTF.
He said “if Teemu scores I will give you all my money” which is a big statement for an 11 yr old & was overheard by witnesses I may add:)).
Welllllllllllllll after celebrating the goal together I turned to him singing “Give me all your money ,give me all your money”to which he replied and I kid you not”I HAVE NO MONEY,I HAVE JUST GONE IN TO ADMINISTRATION” :)).
After a bus ride home in which the steam was rising off us as we dried out. I said what time is your wee sisters pantomine wee mhan 7 says he they will have all had a McDonalds probably as they were there earlier with my wee sister she is on twice.
They got a McDonalds by you wee mhan ehhh ,and he replied ” Aye but they never got to go and watch the celtic with you:))
I could have wept with pride.
So excuse me if I dont get involved to much in the (debates):))
celtic crosses the generation gap and I had a day I will never forget.
Thank you celtic.
