Faux civility and pathetic winners

169

I don’t know what’s worse, football fans who crave affirmation so much they indulge in faux acts of civil spirited behaviour, and who tell themselves they are loved by everyone, or a set who even though their side win their Euros group, boo and throw plastic cups at their manager.

The reality is, no one in the UK really cares about international football, at least, not in the way we care about our clubs.  If it was Celtic, you would not be caught dancing to disco music to try to convince yourself you were not a deeply miserable person (I’m not talking about you, obviously) and it wouldn’t matter how we topped a group, only that we actually achieved the feat.

The evidence is overwhelming that Scotland football fans were on holiday in Germany.  Good luck to them, I doubt there is a great deal of crossover between them and those who buy club season tickets.

England fans protesting about how uninspiringly they topped their group is even more pathetic.  They have qualified for two major finals in history (both on home territory).  That’s fewer than Czechoslovakia, which only existed for 74 years, and one less than the Czech Republic.  England fans have as poor a grasp on their own history as Davie Moyes has on the Czech-Slovak dissolution.

    RIP Landry Nguemo who has tragically passed away in a road accident aged 38

  5. Oh dear

     

    Is it , wating for financial results, the Euros, Covid, russian invasion of Ukraine, general election, just what is stopping us getting players in, ridiculous state of affairs.

     

    I mean, pre season starts in a few days, and still no-one.

     

     

    Just who is in charge of recruitment.

     

    Get a grip ffs

  6. We have known we needed a keeper for 6 months.We have known we needed a LB for a year.New CH,a season.We have known the terms of Bernardos deal for a season.

     

    No one is saying we should have all the wanted players on the list signed,but these have been out there for a good while.

  7. lets all do the huddle on

    celtic plc exist as a profit making organisation to divvy out bonuses and dividends to execs and shareholders.

     

     

    what happens on the pitch is of secondary importance.

     

     

    as long as they keep getting the income (and i am guilty of that) then they will keep filling their own troughs quicker than players get signed.

     

     

    it is classic capitalism at work

  8. Kinglubo – Has anyone in the UK bought anyone of note so far this transfer window? Our friends across the city have added a couple of squad fillers, nothing more. Hang in there, we will be just fine.

  9. fanadpatriot on

    Maybe all the players we are signing are still playing in the Euros ., just a thought.HH

  10. This should be really easy.

     

     

    Can anyone tell me how much the largest shareholders got in dividends in the last financial year ?

  11. See the guys who pelted the England manager after toping their group, they might have some lineage to the morons who have already picked up their pitch forks concerning the lack of new signings. Pathetic
