An oversimplification I know, Mrs C, said to me yesterday,
“But we won the European Cup with no money.”
It reminded me of this,
September 1913
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
What need you, being come to sense,
But fumble in a greasy till
And add the halfpence to the pence
And prayer to shivering prayer, until
You have dried the marrow from the bone;
For men were born to pray and save:
Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone,
It’s with O’Leary in the grave.
Yet they were of a different kind,
The names that stilled your childish play,
They have gone about the world like wind,
But little time had they to pray
For whom the hangman’s rope was spun,
And what, God help us, could they save?
Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone,
It’s with O’Leary in the grave.
Was it for this the wild geese spread
The grey wing upon every tide;
For this that all that blood was shed,
For this Edward Fitzgerald died,
And Robert Emmet and Wolfe Tone,
All that delirium of the brave?
Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone,
It’s with O’Leary in the grave.
Yet could we turn the years again,
And call those exiles as they were
In all their loneliness and pain,
You’d cry, ‘Some woman’s yellow hair
Has maddened every mother’s son’:
They weighed so lightly what they gave.
But let them be, they’re dead and gone,
They’re with O’Leary in the grave.

Hands up here if you care a jot about other clubs?
Most stupid comment I read on here today apart from some earlier ones from the same poster. A poster who joined me in non-attendance yesterday.
Were you at the game caller?

Bobby, are ye seriously trying to tell me that the same Celtic hierarchy who hid behind the curtains during all the Rangers cheating will take the on the Celtic support, the pissed-off, Celtic support ?
Ye see, a bhoycott means that for the hierarchy – the jolly is over – they’d have to embrace the real world.
They would try to trade they’re way out of it – who could they sell if,….the player didny want to go ?….ala,…John Collins when Fergus tried and, failed to sell him to Derby County ?
HH
Morning all.
What a day yesterday.
Inept performance followed by PL entering the dressing room and topped off by bedlam at the POTY shindig.
Allegedly, it all kicked off when CKR took exception to being called a “big Jessie” by Leigh Griffiths, and promptly nutted him!
All hell broke loose, and a mass brawl ensued.
Wee GMS hid under a table, and Nir Bitton hobbled off holding his hamstring.
Ronny and the two Johns tried to calm things down, but were told to “gtf!”
PL climbed on to a table to try and restore order, but it collapsed under his weight! This caused much hilarity and cries of “fat b******!”
Ian Bankier was heard shouting “behave!” This had little effect and was met by “f*** off ya w*****!”
Order was finally restored and it was decided that next year’s event will be held in Bar 67.
Cheerio!
HH!!
TRADITIONALIST88 on 25TH APRIL 2016 10:55 AM
For me, it’s nothing to do with what is going on on the pitch.
It’s all to do with the whole game being a sham and Celtic being a leading player in ensuring it’s a sham.
I’d be happy with a third rate team playing in an honest set up than a team of world beaters in a corrupt farce of a league.
Celtic used to be important to me, and if things change it might be so again in the future. But at the moment Celtic are just about irrelevant and if I’m honest I don’t see much likelihood of change.
I do feel sorry for those for whom the Club still means so much. They deserve better.
THE TONALD
You were more accurate with yesterday’s sign-off.
Chug-chug-chug-chug.
A nightmare image,certainly. But accurate nevertheless.

The Green Man
I think you are deliberately mis-representing my posts. I am not the one staging a boycott of all things Celtic, whilst doing nothing about it. Collective action is the way forward, if you have the courage of your convictions, why wouldnt you do something about it?
Just waiting for NegAnon and it’ll be a full set – funny how you’re all so quick to respond to posts on CQN calling you out, yet you won’t come out of your bunker to do anything about your allegations on here!
All this Aberdeen loving ,feel sorry for, a fraction of our budget, ehhhh not Celtics problem, there’s a team down south doing very well on a fraction of a budget thay at least ten clubs have on them so don’t be spinning that crap on us, we can only play who turns up, how they exist, what they have, how many of a squad, nothing to do with us, we’re the better team, and are going to win the league, but as I said, keep putting the fences up, keep the negativity going, I’ll be partying while you dullards are in here moaning. :))

One of my incessant complaints is Lawwell’s total lack of vision. Therefore I am going to send one to him.
How I’d like to go about this is engaging with other fans to build a vision of Celtic in 2020.
I will send him a narrative that will be written in the present tense as if from the year 2020…
All suggestions welcome-
But here goes with a starter for 10
”After a challenging domestic season that saw Celtic claim our second 9 in a row- we are now poised for our assault on European football again.
Having made the last 32 of Championsbleague in the last two seasons, hopes are high that we can take a step in to the last 16 in 2021.
How has this been achieved? Careful management of squad means that Ctic are now viewed as one of Europe’s leading development teams.
The club is now the club of choice for aspiring top level players. The policy of 18 month loans is now well embedded. This has been a contributory factor in Celtic now having a waiting list for season tickets as fans are eager to watch the development of emerging top level talent.
However with a squad now capped at 33 with a stratified 3 player/ position policy, which has built in succession fans are also eager to see emerging home grown talent that occupies 3rd choice in every position. These players are paid £3k week a third of their number 2 and a 10th of their 1 st choice- providing enormous motivation to develop and improve.
The manager remains the highest paid employee at the club and reports directly to the Board.
Off the field income generation has also rocketed with Celtic controlling all TV rights to their home games. In 2018 Celtic entered a collaboration with STV to film all games. Celtic control all broadcasting rights.
Sales of merchandise have also rocketed and again this has been achieved through shrewd partnership working with key producers and suppliers. Again Celtic retaining distribution control has paid dividends.
The Board now has 2 fan representatives via election from season ticket holders and shareholders. Main shareholder Dermott Desmond does not have a vote but retains the power of veto.
To date this veto has not been exercised.
Key to achieving much of this has been investment in fan engagement and consensus building around key values of the club which are not too far removed from the principles of the founding fathers.
Looking forward what’s next for Celtic?
Leading the development of a world class ladies team has allowed Celtic to maximise the potential of the biggest growth area in modern football. Women league football has been timetabled for summer allowing Celtic fans year round interest and critically year round income for the club.
The next step is to cement plans for Celtic teams in the Indian, Chinese and US leagues.
Three short years ago none of this seemed possible but with a conserted effort to develop a terrace to Boardroom alliance- the potential seems limitless. It is expected that the commercial strength of Celtic will soon prompt an invite to join the EPL..”
Any Leicster supporters on here?
No?
Funny that. Who cares.
MWD
TRAD88
Collective action….Where?
Give me a shout, and i will be there.
Or shall i fly a bi-plane over CP and drop leaflets that say ‘The Green Man says Sack the Board’
What is it that you expect me to do?
The only power i have to protest…is my refusal to attend.
Thats the only stand i can take.
What more do you want?
ernie lynch on 25th April 2016 11:03 am
There are may who share similiar concerns, we read them every day on CQN. I am not questioning their veracity, just their tactics.
I can’t accept that you don’t have the time nor the inclination to do anything about it, when the posters I mentioned(and others) spend a not insignificant amount of time on CQN, reiterating their concerns.
If you didnt care that much about Celtic, you wouldnt be here. Therefore… the lack of action is unfathomable, when evidently, you care..a lot.

The Green Man says SACK THE Board on 25th April 2016 11:15 am
You told me last week ‘I cannot do any more’.
You started out with the wrong attitude, and are trying desperately to justify it.
You can always do more.
The GB, poor spelling and all, have achieved more in a matter of minutes than ayears worth of posts!
Everyone is a Leicester fan this season I would think, cept. For one numpty in here :)
After yesterdays performance,I think the board should act now,get Steve Clarke or Roy Keane,asap,bed them in take in the remaing games,see for there self’s,what needs to change,the players know Ronny’s away,so Celtic do the right thing,get the new man now,
TALLYBHOY
Where blokes go wrong wi flatpack furniture is their wrong choice of tools.
Screwdrivers,drills,dowels,etc.
Nonononono.
Bloody big hammer and some right guid long nails.
She’ll never ask you to build another one.
The GB do not, never have ,or will speak for me, they have cost the club tens of thousands of pounds, and they have a cheek to put up that banner on Sunday? #Ironic GB CSC.
TIMBHOY3
Maybe someone sees a cost benefit from not bringing a new manager in immediately.

KJ of the DR, is alleging that a so called bhoycotter is so fickle, he said he’d come back to Celtic Park if and when a safe standing area was completed ;)

Lawwell has cost us millions over the years,with the prospect of many more millions to come.
And his refusal to appeal the first fine-for the previously unused crime of illicit singing-was what started the spiral of fines. He wanted to get the GB back in line on a trumped-up charge,it came back to bite him-and Celtic-on the arse.
Hard.
TRAD88
I dont know what you are on about…but i will play along.
Where are you getting this strange idea, that somehow i need to give a flying feck about what you think?
There are thousands of supporters staying away…or havent you noticed?
And yes…im one of those who refuse to attend.
So what?
I wonder! Have you surveyed that fact or is that another lie?
MWD
12 Monkeys….Bruce Willis.
They wont believe you.
The Green Man says I Cannot Do Any More!
Well, you did reply…
I see you are rattled again. It was Lawwell who was rattled yesterday, and it had nothing to do with you.
In your own time…
What would be good would be a proper AGM…
A honest dialogue.
There needs to be some bridge building or there will be a very low turnout next season.
I’m the worst kind of fan. In a previous life many years ago I attended games home and away- prompted by my dearly departed dad who loved a day out supporting Celtic.
My circumstance have changed. I live 150 miles away. I am committed to my son’s football through coaching etc.
However I did make the effort for big games – yes Rangers and European games. I tended also to go to a couple of home games as we tend to have the odd Glasgow weekend. Occasionally I’d go midweek if I was working in Glasgow and it fitted in.
My son will be studying in Glasgow 2017 and I had considered a couple of SBs …
Now I don’t think the decisions I make matter but I think my story is the story of many fans who would be there more often. Add that to the diehards who are now apathetic and you can see £m’s of untapped income.
My belief is that Celtic Park could be sold out regularly. Further I believe that is possible with only a few changes – some of which don’t even cost money. Communication , shared vision etc don’t cost a penny.
TRAD88
Rattled….yeah, i certainly was last night, when i ran out of coffee:)
What am i supposed to be rattled about about exactly?
Tell me.
To play in the morgue that was Celtic Park on Sunday must have been hellish.I will be joining TD in celebrating like a maddy when we win this league.I can remember countless seasons when we won nothing,you know back in those “Good old days”the likes of nutty Kev J goes on about.
Thank God we had no internet back then in those horrendous years.Every League is a milestone.
Well! According to that ETims blog that I posted, the resolution12 guys and the board at CFC are not getting on? I’m hearing a totally different story than his version, to me, and I may be wrong, but I think there is a split with the resolution guys, my information, (for what it’s worth) is that both the res.12 guys and CFC are both singing from the same hym sheet last I heard, so someone’s telling porkies?
