Reagan stood up to this guy who sadly has returned to power.
Thirty killed by his regime.
Maybe Reagan was right ?
” The 2018 Nicaraguan protests began on 18 April 2018 when demonstrators in several cities of Nicaragua began protests against the social security reforms decreed by President Daniel Ortega that increased taxes and decreased benefits. After five days of unrest in which nearly thirty people were killed, Ortega announced the cancellation of the reforms. ”

Missed the game but I’ve seen the goals and the blatant penalty.
Why the discord? It’s all coming together as we undertake a taxing number of games up till the break.
Broony back to fitness.
Christie and McGregor on fire.
Wee Jamsie has found Joe McBride’s old boots.
Leigh back. And with a goal.
Steady Eddie, calm confident and imperious
Ntcham back to boss the midfield.
A choice of Centre backs. Now there’s a novelty.
Tom being rested after his mid week travels.
No matter the circumstances of the McGinn or Christie debate, it’s obvious that our gifted manager and back room boffins have created a three dimensional destruction machine.

When VW skewed their diesel emissions figures to satisfy the EPA and sell more cars, Ford, Mercedes etc did not get involved in seeking punishment.
When GSK were caught in a Chinese bribery scandal to increase their market presence, Merck, Sanofi etc did not undertake their punishment.
With these and many others, the courts and or regulatory bodies are the normal recourse for compensation, punishments and oversight.
So the Res 12 guys have rightly focused on the SFA UEFA authorities rather than force the board to make isolated statements or actions against the Sevco Swindlers.
The only problem is the reluctance of the SFA to acknowledge wrongdoing from their pet project.
The board bashers on here who base their support or lack of it on the board’s actions, or lack of them, are focused on the wrong target.
Our primary goal is to become the singular prominent football club in Scotland with a team, a venue and facilities fit for the next phase in the growth of European football.
We are doing it without the crutch of Sky revenues, instead reliant solely on the constant steady support of revenue from season ticket sales and other imaginative streams.
Look around you and see where we are.
Look at the improvements in the environs.
Look at the improving facilities for all fans.
Look at the football department and their expertise.
Organizationally on and off the field we are a generation ahead of our nearest rivals.
We won’t get every single step right but we will continue to improve.

Exactly how I feel.
Plus…………………………..
A huge debt of gratitude to the Club for giving us Brendan .
This bit is where the real personal disappointment at how Res12 has been dragged out comes into play.
” Personally I see last season’s OST initiative as simply another indication, along with the recent appointment of a Supporter Liaison and Service Officer, that progress is being made in an ongoing process of bringing the Celtic support even closer together using the wonderful communication tools we now have. I find that something to be excited about as a force for spreading good in a world where ethics (which is derived from ethos) seem to have been forgotten.”
Disappointment because the ethos I thought I was signing up to doesn’t actually exist, well not in a forceful form for spreading good in a world that has all but abandoned ethics.
I think the OST (Overseas Season Ticket) is no longer available but I had to stop buying it when it became obvious in 2015 the ideal (idol ?) I had signed up to had feet of clay.
One of the reasons for persisting with Res12 was the hope that the club I thought was created to do the right thing would be true to its birth right, so I could feel the same way about it, so in a way my personal Res12 motivation was selfish.
However I/we don’t need to throw the baby out with the bath water, the other good things in the article are still there and my Costa Del Sol local is a great place to watch the games with really good company and I mean good.
It was the ethics that to me justified calling ourselves more than a club and by God the support are more than a support.
Perhaps the division between The Board chaps and the support is a disconnect between what the support feel at a spiritual level were doing the right thing isn’t always easy but is always worthwhile and the Board being of the world?

AULDHEID @ 4:00 AM,
Great post and excellent response GG @ 5:35 AM…
The values and ethics of Celtic Football Club have been lost to a PLC Board… Auldheid pointed out a book that highlighted difficulties business structures present to Football Clubs, it is all too easy when using the PLC structure to manage and control a sporting organisation to fall into the “Titanium Metals” trap…
This is exactly where Celtic PLC Board have ended up.
Res12 is a microcosm of what went wrong in our game. Was this UEFA licence cheat as big as the side contracts cheat? No. Was the sums involved in the WTC in line with the BTC? No. We are talking 5-6% of the BTC.
The thing that was great about the wrongdoing that the Res12 ghuys focussed on was…
It was not owned by the authorities.
No SFA Inquiry
No SPL Commision
No police fraud investigation
No Tax Tribunal…. etc etc
No, the Res12ers had a prima facie case and a smoking gun. With no “investigation” to hide behind, kicking cans down the road.
Of course ironically that’s just what happened to it… and it was “ours” that facilitated the can kicking – tragic:((((
The fact is though, the Celtic PLC Board seemed to treat this as a business issue first an issue of sporting integrity later.
It’s what PLC Board’s do.
They looked at gains that could be made by pursuing Res12 v damage done to business partners.
The SFA, the SP(F)L, the Rangers franchise etc are some of Celtic PLCs business partners.
This model is not congruent with running an elite Football Club, so many examples, not just Res12, we all could see what happened during the summer’s transfer window. This is why the Celtic business model has to be restructured.
Let me elucidate…
If you look at Celtic’s organisational structure, at the top you will have a long rectangular box with…
—————-CELTIC PLC————–
Below several perpendicular silos…
1. CELTIC Football Club
2. CELTIC Foundation
3. Operations and Administrations
4. Strategic Planning and Development etc etc
Of course the relationships between the PLC and each of the silos are different in legal and financial terms but in broad brush stroke terms that’s where we are. It’s why we think and act like a PLC.
Now how I believe it should be structured is something like this.
Inside the long rectangular box at the top should be…
—–CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB——-
The perpendicular silos
1. Football Operations
2. CELTIC Foundation
3. CELTIC PLC Financials, Operations and Administion etc
4. Strategic Planning and Development etc
That way we can start thinking and acting like a sporting organisation, an elite Footballing one, one that’s more than just a Club…

It’s what PLC Board’s do.
They looked at gains that could be made by pursuing Res12 v damage done to business partners.
The SFA, the SP(F)L, the Rangers franchise etc are some of Celtic PLCs business partners.
This model is not congruent with running an elite Football Club, so many examples, not just Res12, we all could see what happened during the summer’s transfer window. This is why the Celtic business model has to be restructured.
Let me elucidate…
If you look at Celtic’s organisational structure, at the top you will have a long rectangular box with…
—————-CELTIC PLC————–
Below several perpendicular silos…
1. CELTIC Football Club
2. CELTIC Foundation
3. Operations and Administrations
4. Strategic Planning and Development etc etc
Of course the relationships between the PLC and each of the silos are different in legal and financial terms but in broad brush stroke terms that’s where we are. It’s why we think and act like a PLC.
Now how I believe it should be structured is something like this.
Inside the long rectangular box at the top should be…
—–CELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB——-
The perpendicular silos
1. Football Operations
2. CELTIC Foundation
3. CELTIC PLC Financials, Operations and Administion etc
4. Strategic Planning and Development etc
That way we can start thinking and acting like a sporting organisation, an elite Footballing one, one that’s more than just a Club…

I am a self confessed Harry Potter fan.
It has its advantages. Did you know Gobbledygook is the native secret language of the goblins.
Subsequently I have a vague knowledge of it; it helps on here sometimes.?
