    If I paid for a ticket to see a show at a theatre,and the person next to be caused a disturbance and was asked to leave ,would I also be thrown out ?

    For every buyer there has to be a seller and for every seller there has to be a buyer.

     

     

    That’s why it’s called a market 😉

    “so he didnt transfer his shares and get them back ?”

     

    |

     

    Yes he did sell them after realizing that he was the last man standing holding his Celtic integrity candle.

     

    And he would have died a pauper trying to be the only honest person left in the Celtic building.

     

    So he dived into the big reality pond.

     

    And we’ve all seen how principled on every issue Celtic have been since DEMPSEY walked out in May 1994.

     

    Sadly, The Celtic Fairy story died with Billy McNeill. RIP.

     

    Now Celtic fans are like SNP/SinnFein getting smaller and smaller….

     

    Sad are the homes….

    AN TEARMANN @ 9:58 PM – Awaiting your thoughts. Sharing perspectives helps find common ground. There’s a few folk on here who should give it a shot. Maybe we would find some of that unity that keeps getting mentioned. Nah, it’ll never catch on.

     

     

    BLOGGA @ 8:14 PM – Gaslighting? Yer at it!

     

     

    The majority of Celtic fans regularly access the internet for their fix of Celtic news – they would’ve needed to avoid clicking on one of the many links to the BW stories. So, I dismiss the notion that they don’t know what is going on. The GB (not my mates incidentally), met with BW in an effort to resolve the well documented issues related to the ban. I already did spell out the illegal position BW is supporting, but to quote him directly: “There’s also strong concern from the police about anti-police activities, photographing police, pig watch campaigns and so on within the ground”. The reports have indicated that as part of the terms floated, the GB have specifically been told that they cannot “photograph police”. This is the reason why I labored a potential solution for that point, in an attempt to demonstrate how they could find some middle ground.

     

     

    I don’t know that I would use “trampled upon” type rhetoric, but, the police making this a condition to lifting the ban is absolutely in contravention of the Human Rights Act 1998 (Article 10 – Freedom of Expression). If the GB need to lawyer up in order to get this resolved, I’m confident that they will have no problem finding someone to represent them. While also noting that if they need to take that step, then BW has demonstrably failed in leading negotiation to find a solution.

  14. An Tearmann on

    Gedinte.will do a paragraph at a time.

     

     

    I don’t know all of the issues, but the one to which I make specific reference is the requirement that the GB cease with their unfortunately named “pig watch”. It’s mildly offensive, but perfectly legal behavior. Give it a new label, and turn it into a point of compromise or even a means to promote agreement with requirements. Perhaps confirm the headcount for police and stewards that will be in their section, then the GB are assured that adequate policing and stewarding is present to assure fan safety. The GB should be free to document their presence, and nobody should feel attacked or offended. Simple.

     

     

    Breaking that down, the Celtic fan group have an issue with police and stewarding.

     

    -Calling a polis a pig isn’t unfortunate G thats common knowledge in any council scheme alas as far as it being used against part of the licensing body(the polis) i would suggest may/may not be mildly funny the unfortunate part is its they are wanting to carry on, sadly they will but on the outside where they are now with 4 league games left.

     

    -The celtic group want autonomy for their section,

     

    control of policing and stewarding.They wont get it.i am sure the conciliarity irony won’t be missed

     

    The Group have already impacted movement of fans with north stand round away fans.i can not go round to 106 due to stewarding.i know loads who cant move to sit with family elsewhere,that was not the case last season.

     

    To your point on a reconciliation could be construed as a smart ass jibe by a group havin a go at part of the gov body(polis)

     

    They could be smarter

     

     

    They will not be treated any different from any other Celtic fan who buys their ticket,supports the team and rules of the houseDD(our board) will have that corner blanked out on the stadia map he’ll have on his phone.its a tap on a return key!

     

     

    All good in chat as I said earlier I want them there,

     

    HH

  15. flynn on

    Nothing changes until 40,000 unneeded seats are removed.

     

    Lego stadiums are a bigger psyop than PLC boards.

     

    All delivered by Maggie Thatcher.

     

    Sad are the homes….

  16. An Tearmann on

    GEDINTE- As far as I’m aware, the GB have always been faced with different levels of policing and stewarding. They should be. It would be negligent to not recognize that they are a different animal. That said, it needs to be reasonable and appropriate, and it seems that incidents have caused it to grow beyond that prior to the ban, and there are concerns over methods used.

     

     

    – They are Celtic fans no more no less.

     

    Not bigger Celts or lesser.Celtic men&woman,

     

    -They may be given such attention due misdemeanours, folk argue the cost to club of fines,they see the fan group as not following the rules of the house.

     

    They will be outside and that is a shame,though the fanbase share a lot of the same thinking re refugees and our ethos to the poor(emotionally)i would say it looses kudos as they choose not to adhere to rules.What makes them different?

     

     

    It was coming G,goin round to 106 last year i witnessed stewards coming under physical grief on several occasions,on folk on £9 an hour(ffs).The polis stepped in.it was not a good look.

     

     

    HH

  17. flynn on

    The stadiums are full of stewards because the SNP/GREENS secretly reduced the polis numbers cutting them in roundabout ways and doing away with regional polis forces all now under police-scotland.

     

    And today’s Celtic suporter’s act all stupid and unknowing because they are sleekits.

     

    Sad are the homes….

    Yes, BW should be doing more. He certainly should not support a position which illegally restricts their rights, and he needs to advocate for them generally as fans, unless he is wholly committed to a position which bans them until further notice. This would effectively commit him to the mantra of collective punishment, which should surely be avoided, while emphasizing individual responsibility, holding offenders to account and ensuring due process.

     

    ——-

     

    BW I am sure does what our board does.its laid out.

     

    Are those rights being restricted illegally the same rights obeyed by the vast majority of Celtic fans?

     

    Why do you deem it illegal?

     

    What precisely is illegal?

     

    I think Celtic fans get plenty of kudos,the group have plenty of kudos 125,4horses,lions50 alas that is fading the more they attempt to assert control over part of a stadium they dont own,the more the group cause Celtic grief with licensing gov and the polis the more remote they are becoming

     

     

    Celtic I think will always deal with individuals,looking for them to follow rules the rules of house.

     

    The groups narrative to Ultra i feel Celtic won’t deal with at all,they dont need to deal with it at moment.its outsideThey deal with Celtic and those in its culture,they have been doing that since 1888.

     

    When the group are out i hope they review their own outlook,stamping and screaming on the outside is not heard,and as we head for a title they have a bit of pressure to meet themselves.

     

     

    All just out there G.disagree away:-))

     

     

    Ps no heard any updates on Wullies plan? Its v quiet.

  23. Gedinte on

    AN TEARMANN – you are saying little with which I would disagree.

     

     

    To be clear, none of their rights are currently being violated – they are banned, and that decision is supported by evidence under consideration by the club and the authorities. Justified or otherwise, for now it stands.

     

    At the request of the BLOGGER FORMERLY KNOWN AS GM, I reviewed reported understanding of the terms for lifting the ban, and that would appear to expose a violation of their rights (as explained up above at 12:01).

     

     

    I’m sure that the GB and BW (representing the club), could both do better. Truth is, on the back of the SC1/4 game, I doubt that there is much appetite for working very hard on this.

     

    I would also agree that their star is waning, and the GB may never regain their place and priveleges as they existed before.

    Good morning CQN on this fine “spring” morning

     

     

    Another fine day to be a Celt.

     

     

    Interesting weekend.

     

     

    Yang took the plaudits but I thought Daizen, although still a bit short technically, looked far more energetic.

     

     

    Hopefully a consequence of one game per week and that he can come onto a game in the run in.

     

     

    He was huge for us this time last season.

     

     

    For his chance from Yang’s set up he took an extra step before shooting.

     

     

    A year ago he would have sprinted and swiped instinctively … and probably scored.

     

     

    Squad seriously down to the bones (this has to be our player availability nadir surely?)

     

     

    Auston back next week, maybe Julian too.

     

    (Colby had a poor game Saturday)

     

     

    Then international break.

     

     

    Then hopefully Callum M, Kelechi, Arne, Alastair and Callum O coming back.

  27. The Blogger Formerly Known As GM on

    MON was saying CalMac will hopefully be back this week. He also mentioned JA had a thigh strain that hopefully isn’t as bad as Engels’. Unfortunately that suggests to me JA might be out for a little longer. Hopefully I’m wrong.

  29. vale bhoy on

    Donovan did indeed have a very poor game.

     

     

    The worst was when he gave the ball away, in his full back position, then abandoned his winger to chase and try to win back the ball. He lost all discipline and left the winger totally unmarked.

     

     

    When he dived in to tackle the Motherwell player, he was in our left back area.

     

     

    Criminal defending.

    Nope.

     

     

    Unless you piled in while the person causing the disturbance was being asked to leave.

     

     

    Good point though Fanad, IMHO.

     

     

    One (medium size) concern I have with the Green Brigade?

     

     

    As an organisation, it feels nebulous.

     

     

    Assumed membership feels large and connected when proactive statements are issued by the GB or (to a lesser extent) praise toward the GB is being dished out.

     

     

    When it comes to responsibility and accountability for behaviours that others have issues with?

     

     

    … The GB projects more as a loose gathering of people defined by shared location in the North Curve.

     

     

    When that happens (extreme end of the spectrum admittedly) we occasionally witness this

     

     

    “Don’t look at me – He’s Spartacus” thing.

    Dangerous, delusional, ignorant.

     

     

    Started a war he can’t finish.

     

     

    Maybe the Nobel Committee could create a new category – the War Prize.

     

     

    Would this guy go after both simultaneously?

     

     

    Last time I looked the N and A in NATO stood for North Atlantic and the Strait of Hormuz doesn’t flow into that body of water.

     

     

    China’s fault too apparently.

    Reminds me the only time I saw a fight in a picture house. Was at the GFT and two guys went at it on the stairs while the flick was showing; one guy belted the other and he tumbled down to be met by a GFT staffer who threw the punchee out (not the puncher). Only in Glasgow.

    Monday 16th March

     

     

    I had a wonderful visit today with my mother, father and Marcella. Wonderful, considering the circumstances and the strain which indeed they are surely under.

     

     

    As I expected, I received a lot of verbal flak from Screws going and coming from the actual visit. Their warped sense of humour was evident in their childish taunts, etcetera.

     

     

    I wrapped myself up well to keep me from the cold. My weight is 58.25 kgs today, but I burnt up more energy today with the visit. I’ve no complaints of any nature.

     

     

    I’ve noticed the orderlies are substituting slices of bread for bits of cake, etcetera — stealing the sweet things (which are rare anyway) for themselves. I don’t know whether it’s a case of ‘How low can you get?’ or ‘Well, could you blame them?’ But they take their choice and fill of the food always, so it’s the former.

     

     

    They left my supper in tonight when the priest (Fr Murphy) was in. There were two bites out of the small doughy bun. I ask you!

     

     

    I got the Sunday World newspaper; papers have been scarce for the past few days.

     

     

    There is a certain Screw here who has taken it upon himself to harass me to the very end and in a very vindictive childish manner. It does not worry me, the harassment, but his attitude aggravates me occasionally. It is one thing to torture, but quite a different thing to exact enjoyment from it, that’s his type.

     

     

    There was no mirror search going out to visits today — a pleasant change. Apparently, with the ending of the no-wash protest, the mercenary Screws have lost all their mercenary bonuses, etcetera, notwithstanding that they are also losing overtime and so on. So, not to be outdone, they aren’t going to carry out the mirror search any more, and its accompanying brutality, degradation, humiliation, etcetera.

     

     

    Why! Because they aren’t being paid for it!

     

     

    I’m continually wrapped up in blankets, but find it hard to keep my feet warm. It doesn’t help my body temperature, drinking pints of cold water. I’m still able to take the salt and five or six pints of water per day without too much discomfort.

     

     

    The books that are available to me are trash. I’m going to ask for a dictionary tomorrow. I’d just sit and flick through that and learn, much more preferable to reading rubbish.

     

     

    The English rag newspapers I barely read, perhaps flick through them and hope that no one opens the door. A copy of last week’s AP/RN was smuggled in and was read out last night (ingenuity of POWs again). I enjoyed listening to its contents (faultless – get off them ! – good lad Danny (Morrison)). I truly hope that the people read, take in and understand at least some of the truths that are to be regularly found in it. I see Paddy Devlin is at his usual tricks, and won’t come out and support the prisoners…

     

     

    Well, that’s it for tonight. I must go. Oíche Mhaith.

    Just scanned this article briefly.

     

     

    Three things jumped out for me.

     

     

    A guy who first got into this 23 years ago is still today promising jam tomorrow.

     

     

    Reminded me of recent SNP pledges for upcoming elections.

     

     

    42% turnout isn’t amazing?

     

     

    48,500 votes cast translates to total eligible voters of less than 115,000.

     

     

    For some reason I thought (wrongly) the Barca fan membership ran to 1 million plus?

  41. bognorbhoy on

    140,000 members

     

    As of the latest update, FC Barcelona has over 140,000 members, known as socis, who actively participate in the club’s governance and enjoy various benefits. This membership count reflects the strong support and loyalty of the Barça fanbase.

  42. ADVERTISEMENT
  43. bognorbhoy on

    From Barcelona club site

     

     

    In Sunday’s elections the 14,504 FC Barcelona members with voting rights will be able to choose between the candidates Joan Laporta and Víctor Font at any of the five polling stations located in Barcelona (Spotify Camp Nou), Girona, Tarragona, Lleida, and Andorra. The ballot boxes will be open from 9.00am CET to 9.00pm CET.

     

     

    The electoral census is made up of all members of legal age, with a minimum membership of one year, who have not had their membership suspended and are not legally incapacitated. It is a universal census; therefore, members may vote at any of the five locations, regardless of their place of residence.

    ===============================

     

     

    Say Celtic

     

    Say Green Brigade.

     

    They are 2 different things.

     

     

    Celtic speak for Celtic,have done since 1888

     

    They deal with Celtic supporters and have done,since 1888.

     

     

    Celtic support speak for themselves.The semantics and false positioning(in sumdi else’s house is a non starter).No course or line pursued while outside.

     

     

    What would you suggest they do if it remains?

     

     

    Could anything be done about behaviour?

     

    Re pig watch?

     

    Re polis grief?

     

    Re Stewards pile on?

     

     

    Celtic are weak board wise I mean.

     

    DD has new folk to place in control.

     

    So things will change that is for sure.

     

    How it affects the group will be down to them

     

    To support the team and follow the rules.

     

     

    Sadly I dont see that happening so there is a stalemate with DD/return key and various Celtic fans outside.in club terms there are bigger priorities.i want them in there again exploring our immigrant heritage and being a beacon to refugees the world over,and to carry on the world’s focus of shining a light on Genocidal child killers.

     

     

    Time is running G,Celtic and the support are in selfish pursuit of a title.
