CSA will not be alone in boycott call

982

Celtic Quick News fully supports the decision by the Supporters’ Association Executive Committee to ask an Emergency Delegates Meeting to vote on whether to selectively boycott clubs which vote for a Newco to be admitted directly into the SPL next season.

We discussed the idea of a boycott on this basis towards the end of last season.  It appears the only appropriate action if our ‘sport’ can be subjugated for financial ends.

I am sure Celtic fans will not be the only ones considering a boycott.  If Newco gains access to the SPL next season there is likely to be a schism between supporters of clubs who opposed the move and those clubs who vote for Newco, despite the wishes of their own supporters.

Kilmarnock might be able to look forward to lower costs for stewarding and turnstile operators, from their own support as well as others.  Still, they would be able to open more than one stand when Newco visit.

What a great five days Walter Smith had.  His attempts to buy assets from Rangers administrators failed, sigh, but he managed to undermine the guys trying to sell tickets to Ibrox next season, so it wasn’t a complete waste of time.  Legned.

    Let’s hope ratboy had a massive EBT and Hector sets about him. Comments like that only reinforces how much better life is without them around. A disgrace. Thank God. HH.

    I don’t usually get many responses to my posts because they aint very interesting or controversial. I don’t mind that.

     

     

    However, I needed help tonight with a wee computer problem and the number of offers of help were fantastic!

     

     

    You ghuys, all of you, are really a wee bit special!

     

     

    Thanks again.

    Absolutely!

     

     

    Had to wait on the phone for about 15 minutes, but as soon as I got through it was sorted very quickly.

     

     

    So, many thanks again!

    Fans who go to away games,imo,are representing us,decisions which affect us all should have the blessing of the majority,the last time the support talked seriously of using its ultimate sanction,Hampden fell over itself to avert it.

  8. Polish side are going to ask UEFA for minute of silence for James Nolan before quarter final games in Poland.

     

    RIP James

    If someone said to me I can help you pay less tax to the taxman and old Lizzie and its legal Id grab it!! Did those fiddling thieving MP’s pay tax on their fiddling & thieving? I think not!!

    Unless matters have changed since I last met you are wrong. Work had begun and had it not been for a couple of bad results last Oct before the agm we would all know more.

    I don’t think anyone is claiming that people who are unable to go to games through financial or physical disadvantage are less valued as Celtic supporters.

     

     

    This afternoon I renewed the season cards for me and my two oldest daughters. I’m not poor, but it is a considerable amount of money for me to lay out.

     

     

    I know people in similar financial circumstances to me who choose to spend the money on Skysports subscriptions (which I don’t have) and watching games in the pub (which I don’t).

     

     

    Fair enough, it’s a free country. Does it mean I’m a better Celtic supporter than those guys? Frankly, yes, it fecking well does ;-)

    I think there should be a secret ballot to see if there should be a secret ballot.

    For what it’s worth I always read your posts. I’m fine buddy just back in from the P7 prom and need to reply to James F’s post to me earlier so things may head downhill shortly :-))

    enjoy yourself and make sure to show off the hoops where ever you can!!!

     

     

    Hail Hail

    Zbyszek – I haven’t had a chance to read back, what happened to the lad?

  19. Here’s part of a reply I received to a recent email to the SFA about Sally , Sandy and Mark HATElys recent comments which lead to panel members safety being compromised.

     

    “In answer to your original question, the matter that you refer to does not fall under the new “fast track” protocol, so that does not mean that it is not under consideration. As I’m sure you can appreciate, there have been a number of complex and time-consuming disciplinary processes on-going in recent weeks and months, which, by necessity, have taken precedence.”

     

    Not part of the “fast track” protocol – must be just Neil Lennon who’s on this new “fast track ” system .

     

    Just another way of saying – ” we passed the complaints to Campbell and were sure he will deal with it when he gets time” NOT

     

     

    Hail Hail

  20. Evening bhoys, very warm, but hun free as ever.

     

     

    I wondered what odds the bookies would give that the huns would/wouldn’t be playing football next season.

     

    I tried PP, Ladbrooks, WH, Betfair, Bet365, not a single one would give me odds, me thinks they know something….

    Whats this news, comedians not paying their tax, how’s that news?

     

     

    maybe partly because of his condemnation of people avoiding tax!!!! everyone should pay their taxe except me….maybe he is a hun

    At least he has opened up the debate. Not ever have been a Tory but each to their own political beliefs.

     

     

    Don’t recall any of the other mainstream political parties broaching this subject.

     

     

    A disgrace to society the number of well paid, financially fortunate people who pay less tax than the standard working tax payer in UK.

     

     

    Why should an individual earning circa £2m per year pay less tax than you or I (assuming you are not a MBB ). Morally bankrupt or insolvent to use a popular term.

     

     

    Yes you can criticise their historic and current policies and potential associated conflict of interest within the Tory party, but at least it is being raised for debate and addressed.

    Appreciate that!

     

     

    My wee girl goes to the Academy after the summer holidays!

     

    She’s ready!

    I think all Celtic fans should boycott those SPL clubs that vote yes to Newco in the SPL. Including Celtic. However, I am comforted by the fact that Paul67 says such a secret ballot wont happen, therefore, Celtic “wont” do it.
