Scott Brown’s comment that the players will “look to do any talking on the park” is what you want to hear from the captain this week. Scott’s only just returned from a lengthy absence and is yet to get into full flow, but on form, he is the difference between an anaemic and an effective Celtic.
It’s always hard to judge from the stands what a team is missing when it’s off form but it’s clear we need leaders on the park to grab hold of games and dominate opponents. Scott is our most effective player in this role; a lot of responsibility lies on his shoulders in the coming weeks.
Saturday can’t come soon enough. It’s a far more important game than the semi-final I continually see articles on.
I’ve been in touch with three of the Res 12 guys and hope to pick up on this shortly.

Fair enough and each to their own.
But consider this?
During the time of Rangers cheating (22 trophies) take away the monies lost and defrauded from clubs from the equation in prize money as well as the priceless trophies they would have won.
Think about it in terms of the amounts of money defrauded from the pockets of fans (or in your case customers) across the country during the years the Huns cheated. The millions of pounds in season tickets, league cup tickets, Scottish cup tickets, travel to and from games, merchandise bought at stadiums, food and drink purchased on match days, bets laid against fixed matches by punters and fans etc. And here you are happy to back a board as the least of your concern who are happy to sit back and allow the established resurrection club begin to reform this cheating all over again.
It’s no longer the back of the the bus for guys like you. It’s lie down on the outside lane of the motorway at the Plantation junction and let the buses run over you at 70mph while you smile and wave and shout bring on more.
It’d be fucking laughable if it wasn’t so pitiful!

Just my view of all the comments
My worry is this;
Are Aberdeen distracted?
Are Sevco distracted?
I have only made 3 league games this season(so I am no innocent) but by god I won’t miss one now.
Where is the 2008 spirit? The players are not daft and they know we are AWOL

Auldheid . brth . All the other guys who put in a tremendous amount of work on res 12 , I thank you all for a great effort . So so sad you were peeing against a wall looking for backing from that shower installed at celtic park . It also comes as no surprise to me , as I’ve posted on here often that IMHO the absent landlord is the cancer in your club , What I quit can’t understand is , what are uefa doing ,do they only waken up when a flair goes off . Am I correct in thinking that it’s up to spfl to inform uefa that a member club has a grievance . Surely I’m not calling this right , that would be like the krays calling the polis . also just my opinion , but as far as I was concerned over the past few years ,celtic weren’t the same club I have been brought up watching . Certainty that someone will pick me up on this , I just think it’s a bad omen when the guy who owns the majority of the club , can’t be bothered turning up for AGM ,S .

I will go on the record and pledge £20 as a start – However the wording on any ‘flyer’ must be easy to understand – BRT&H is clever and understands the whole issue, however some will find his explanation rather convaluted.
I think it is worth a try if it can ‘smoke out’ the ‘guilty’ parties.
Pog…,,
I’m in the UAE so won’t be much use handing out anything and I don’t think 40000 will be used. In fact I expect woes of mouth would reach more people.
However there is more to come, it’s not over by a long shot
Plenty can happen in a fortnight, we may be surprised yet.
If there is one way to unite the support it’s taking on the corruption of the SFA, I doubt this has been missed.
Coneybhoy,
Don’t forget to tune your fiddle. You’ll need it when Rome starts burning.

Happy to help / chip in.
However, if we are serious about enacting change at Celtic, a concerted campaign is necessary.
As I asked last night – are there any potential front-men out there to lead a second revolution?
Last time there were plenty candidates (some more credible than others) – the Weisfelds, Fergus, Brian Dempsey, etc., were all arrayed (although not jointly) against the existing Board.
The difference now seems the abject apathy amongst the rank-and-file support, and the lack of a focus / Celts-for-Change-type movement. No-one is out there, in public, talking about all of this – no-one is even voicing displeasure about the Board or club’s broad direction in the wider media.
Most of the SMSM gleefully-reported criticism, and there is plenty, is about the team/manager; nothing addresses the Board’s leadership of the club, and the frighteningly steep downward spiral that we are absolutely intent on following.
They don’t actually want to highlight it – the Huns have certainly learned from the SUPPOSED Celtic Board approach – “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake”.
Inaction of the Board is complicity – simple as that.

We are discussing whether the Huns should have been banned from CL in 2011 are we not?
Celtic lost the league in 2011 with the black over the pocket
Canamalar has consistently said Res12 is about the SFA and if they bent rules in 2011.
Your comment covers a whole load of issues over many years which I have not commented on and ate nit affected by BRTH post today
I hope you reconsider dropping your support of Celtic.
It is a passion you will miss

TBJ@8:08 – You reinforce the point I have made many times on here – our problems are football department problems – they are well financed but don’t deliver – the title IS in the balance – no question!
The Celtic team is not a team. Issue: lack of a manager.
If there is solidarity.
If there is any desire for change
If there is any chance whatsoever of getting rid of PL and lackeys.
I will be there.
Get these PLC snakes out of Celtic.
Save Our Celts
Mr Pastry,
The basic info would be sufficient – what Resolution 12 is/was and that our Board have asked the shareholders to write to UEFA instead of acting on their behalf, and the fact that the Board appear to be dragging their heels.
Let’s not beat about the bush, guys who go to games week-in, week-out and every single person who puts money into Celtic should be represented by the Board whether they are shareholders or not.
Canamalar, with all due respect and you have my respect. Is there any point of waiting any longer? I am in Germany and unable to hand out leaflets but I would pledge £100 towards the funding.
Canamalar
Im hoping you guys come good as you have put a lot of work in.
My opinion is that our team are struggling FOR FORM just now & given scum press coverage & there is now an outlet of nerves by supporters & we are now talkin about how to get SFA and all other parties exposed.
Totally agree on gettin them exposed.
But I believe we will win the league & possibly cup & team need our support.

Disgusted reading today’s res12 news.
Financial support withdrawn from the current incumbents.
Next few articles should be interesting,,,to tackle or not to tackle.
As I posted earlier I am not up to speed on this one.
What exactly occurred today in relation to Res 12?

I’ve got the An Gorta Mor quiz night tomorrow and a couple of the EC of the Trust will be in attendance.
I’m sure it’ll be discussed.
Why not a plane buzzing ipox at their next home game, like was done in the past…”WE KNOW YOU WERE CORRUPT AND STILL ARE…YOU MONKEY BASSAS.”

Pog..,
As I said before, there is one goal here, getting the CFCB to investigate the SFA, everything else is secondary including replacing the board, currently getting the board to bring the complaint to the CFCB is the best and likely only way to get that to happen, on the 31st March it could be all over for res 12, if nothing is done to advance res 12 then I will look at why and what I can do about it.
…and another thing – quite apart from the collusion – the management of the football “part of the business” (hate that) has been rank rotten. Constant downsizing, further away from being a strong European outfit than we have been since the 90’s.
No redeeming characteristics.

Great mate. Some action and something to get the ball rolling.
I’m sick in the pit of my stomach just now. It’s the thought that supporting Celtic is a farce, a charade, a money making Old Firm Enterprise.
Count me in.
Every time I think of the boards inaction and sleekitness on res. 12 I feel sick to the pit of my stomach .
Cheated by SFA
Cheated by RFC (il)
Cheated by a refereeing cabal.
We just bend over and take it.
Why is Desmond not seething in anger, or Lawwell or any of them?
I really despair, and fear justice will never be done.
Good God

Good Evening.
I can now confirm that Celtic PLC have not written to UEFA and asked them to intervene in any respect re the matter of the UEFA licence granted by the SFA in March 2011 to Rangers Football Club.
Celtic PLC did raise concerns about the process with the SFA prior to Res 12 coming before the Celtic AGM in 2012 and, subsequent to the resolution being adjourned by agreement, the board of the PLC have openly accepted that information has come to light which is worthy of further discussion with the SFA.
They have discussed this with the SFA compliance officer informally and formally, and were very keen in encouraging shareholders to write to the SFA formally intimating both complaints and concerns regarding the licensing process.
On being advised that this had been done through a large corporate firm of solicitors retained by the shareholders for this very purpose, those representing the board advised that they would now be keen to discuss the matter further with the SFA.
A copy of the solicitors letter was obviously copied to Celtic PLC.
The SFA’s response to that letter and subsequent correspondence was that they would only discuss the issues raised with, by and through the member club – namely the board of Celtic PLC.
There have been discussions between the SFA and Celtic on the matters raised but neither party has seen fit to advise shareholders on the nature of those discussions and their outcome, or what progress, if any, has been made in clarifying what was and what was not submitted to the SFA in support of the licence applications.
Nor has there been any comment or fresh information provided on whether or not those discussions have clarified the steps taken – or not taken – by the SFA during the licensing process or the reasoning behind those decisions and actions.
The SFA conduct in relation to these matters remains of considerable concern.
At the outset, you will recall that the Celtic PLC board took the view that Res 12 was not necessary. That view was then changed as it became apparent that the board were not fully conversant with either the salient facts and information surrounding the application, nor the rules surrounding UEFA compliance procedures.
Following the resolution being adjourned, the board and shareholders worked together to put presuure on the SFA to address various issues including documents which were sent out by HMRC which, on the face of it, had not been disclosed to the SFA or UEFA as part of the then licensing process.
As mentioned above, the shareholders, with the agreement of the Celtic PLC Board and the compliance officer of the SFA, formally intimated all matters directly to the SFA. Consequently, the SFA said they were happy to take up all of the matters raised with the board of Celtic PLC.
Those discussions, may or may not, be ongoing.
In the interim, the board of Celtic PLC have encouraged shareholders to write to UEFA and in particular the CFCB who regulate licensing matters, and bring that body up to date with the correspondence sent to the SFA by the shareholders and the replies received from the SFA compliance officer – including those replies which state that the SFA will discuss the matter with the Celtic Board and only the Celtic Board.
The shareholders will write such a letter through their solicitors.
However, shareholders believe that this is really a function that should properly be carried out by the executive board of Celtic PLC. There is ample scope for the PLC board to explain their current position and ask that UEFA take note of the discussions and explanations provided by the SFA in correspondence and at meetings. Further, they are free to ask UEFA to examine all the documentation thus far presented and compare that documentation with their official records in relation to the licence application concerned.
If necessary that communication could have been sent in confidence with a request that the procedures to follow remain confidential during the course of the criminal proceedings instigated by the Crown Office.
For whatever reason, Celtic PLC have not written any such letter and are not, apparently, currently considering writing any such letter – but are encouraging the shareholders to do so instead.
Personally, I can’t fathom why that should be.
The executive function of the board of directors is to preserve, protect and maintain the interests of shareholders in the company.
It seems odd that the same board, who previously said that they would take all necessary steps to look after the interests of shareholders in realtion to matters of Governance in Scottish Football, should ask shareholders to formally write to UEFA instead of doing it themselves.
If they felt there was no merit in such correspondence they would surely say so?
If they had felt there was no merit in writing to the SFA in relation to these same matters they would not have facilitated and encouraged, such correspondence between shareholders and the SFA, have met with the SFA to discuss the matters concerned, or have taken such an active and supportive part in the Res 12 process from the outset.
If , as a result of that process and the subsequent correspondence between all parties, the board of Celtic PLC had received information from the SFA which persuaded them that everything to do with the 2011/2012 licensing processes had been completed in accordance with the UEFA rules and regulations, then surely they would have advised shareholders of their conclusions and on what facts and circumstances those conclusions were now based? Equally, had they been provided with such an explanation they would not be encouraging shareholders to write to UEFA as of today’s date?
For the avoidance of doubt, the Celtic PLC Board have never intimated that they have received satisfactory explanations in relation to any of the matters raised by them, or by the shareholders, and have at all times encouraged shareholders to further press the SFA for answers to the points raised.
Accordingly, the position of the board in not seemingly wishing to write to UEFA with regard to these matters and the application of UEFA rules is baffling in the extreme under these circumstances.
Some of us will be writing to Celtic PLC to advise that this stance is incongruous with their previous statements to the shareholders and raises serious concerns about the board’s desire to actually have the matters raised independently investigated.
For the avoidance of doubt, what is or should be the subject of independent investigation and scrutiny is the information submitted, and processes followed and considered by the SFA or the UEFA Licensing officials, in realtion to the UEFA licenisng applications presented in season 2011/12.
The same information and documentation concerned would have been germane to the commission chaired by Lord Nimmo Smith and would have been considered by that commission had the original dates of reference for the commission not been changed prior to the start of the hearings.
Why the oriiginal dates of that commission were changed has never been explained to shareholders.
If any shareholders wish to express their opinion on the board’s stance re this then obviously they are free to write to the chief executive, the liaison officer or any other representative of the PLC.
I wish to reiterate again, that the board of Celtic PLC have been fully supportive of the aims and objectives of Res 12 and have played a full and active part in having shareholders press the SFA for satisfactory answers which have not, thus far, been forthcoming.
However, the same board are not willing to take the same matters up with UEFA on any kind of official basis but are instead relying on the activities of individual shareholders.
Quonno
That’s only one of a list of articles from brth telling us the board are taking no part in it.
I advise to read back starting last night.
It’s not pleasant mind you

The biggest suprise to me it the fact that so many are suprised by the Plc lack of action and support.

Your persistence is admirable.

Lot of frothing at the mouth about Board’s perceived throwing fans to the wolves.
Is anyone really surprised that Board is adopting a CP version of what the musician James McMillan famously described as ‘the Catholic Cringe’?
Jungle VIP-I think your idea about fans turning their backs on the 12 minute
