I’m sure there are people all over England wondering why their manager is apologising for anti-IRA chants by England fans last night. Someone likely pointed out to Roy Hodgson that his fans were breaking the law in Scotland by doing so, hundreds, if not thousands, could be criminalised this morning.
Their names and addresses are known to the football authorities, the match was televised and the chanting received widespread media coverage. Police Scotland were all over the ground and had the England fans surrounded.
All this took place in front of the First Minister, whose government decided laws against bigotry and sectarianism left them unable to “equalise” fans of all colours, most of whom never chant bigoted or sectarian words.
Alex Salmond left the stage caring nothing that the police have no interest in applying his law on this occasion. It wasn’t designed to criminalise the English, it was to criminalise Celtic fans. If the Offensive Behaviour Act can be flouted in front of the nation, the police and the First Minister, without censure or action, it is an absurd nonsense. The SNP government has refused to debate a review into the Act, never mind repeal it. They are defending the indefensible.

Macjay, sometimes I enjoy your posts, but you have a great way of making a complete dick of yourself and you’ve managed it with some style today.
10/10 for agitation and attention seeking.
Freud? He was a dick anaw.

No answer to the question.

I’m neither happy or unhappy about that point mate , an intrusion is carried out by intruders – fact . You claim to deal in them .
fourgreenfields
Thank you.
As mike in Toronto said yesterday when I agreed with him, ‘it takes a wise Mhan to agree with a wise Mhan’

Those Sevconian chaps are really a despicable bunch.
Not only have they and their former club bumped us tax payers for £millions they have to wage another attack on the public purse costing Glasgow City Council £280000.
The costs of this unwarranted and malicious ‘ state aid’ campaign are yet again being funded by Celtic supporters and other innocent tax payers .
These people should not be allowed to have a football club under any guise.
Totally reprehensible and shameless
Personal vilification.
The only shot you`ve got.
No answer apart from the erudite Jamesgang.
Respect,pal.
The rest……………..
Pathetic.
Macjay
I answered your initial question in my post just before 9am.
Would you kindly answer my questions in it please?
Look guys this thing with Macjay is getting really tiresome, he,s made his point you,ve made yours now move on. Hail Hail Hebcelt
Macjay,
The question.
Have the employees of Celtic F.C. requested external intervention into their conditions of employment?
……..
Nobody has personally approached me requesting my intervention.
Macjay:
Why do you imagine that I would care what you think of me?
…………….
Because you seem to enjoy the attention when you stir it up.
Fanx
Opinions are a bit like guns; not everyone can be trusted with one, and there are definitely too many of them out there…
Don’t you point that opinion at me!
Hebcelt, are you in Glasgow tomorrow?
BV swally after the living wage vote.
Have we got everyone back and available for Dundee game?
Heard Lustig is injured? Asked yesterday?
HH
ACGR afraid not, given up going to the games totally dillusioned with all things Celtic/football and to a certain extent CQN at the the moment. Perhaps it will pass. Hail Hail Hebcelt

Some good points there.
In response…….
Charitable motives are always to be commended.
Africa,Far East and Beveridge………..Those situations should be compared to the working conditions of employees of Celtic C.F.C.
Really?
You see,my opinion is that this is simply the latest manufactured issue for the Celtic Trust.
Another cause celebre to fire up decent Celtic supporters.
What is the motivation?
Have the employees of Celtic gone on strike?
Have they complained about their wages?
What an extraordinary intrusion into the rights of working people.
The upshot.
Redundancies?
Natural “wastage”?
A halt to taking on new employees.
Who cares?
Not the Celtic Trust.
How many of these guid fholk who did the right thing by signing the petition will, continue to do the ‘wrong’ thing by carrying-on with their sheep performances and financially backing a kow-towing ‘bored’ of directors who sold them out behind their backs with their participated rubber-stamping of the OBA thingy?
As for the AGM – guid, well meaning Celtic supporters(my family included – except me) bought shares from Fergus to help build the stadium and didny look for anything in return apart fom some renewed hope in their hearts. Now what, 20 years down the road, guess what?
Despite the promises from Mr McCann that he’d sell back his shares ‘to you’ for less than he bought them to ensure that no individual or family will control Celtic ‘ever’ again…how did ‘you’ let that one slip past?
As I’m fed-up telling ‘you’…the ‘bored’ view ‘you’ as sheep – toothless sheep not the best fans in the world.
There are thousands of grand ole fholk amongst the Celtic fan-base but, ‘you’ are viewed by the kow-towing ‘bored’ and their, hun-establishment bedfellows as sheep – nothing more.
Btw…I hope Lustig is one of the players to be moved on in the next window. Players who are always injured are just that – always injured.
All of the above is – imho
Off oot, bye.

Hear Hear.
KevJ on one of your recent posts you said some had hit a “premature brick wall” can you explain to me what exactly that means or is?? H H Hebcelt
Macjay..,
How can an unrepresented workforce raise the issues you identify ?
The board refuse to recognise or allow a union therefore anyone wanting to make such a case is more likely to be made redundant.

If you find the post for me – I’ll explain.
No time just now to scroll back – sorry.
Off oot, laters….
Kev jungle.
You need to get some joy in you heart.
Your rants are getting worse.
When you off oot take a wee moment to get some perspective on life and breath some.
Celtic and Celtic supporter’s will still be here when you get back.
An tearmann,
Lustig came off at halftime for Sweden with hamstring injury. Can’t see him making it.
Kayal injured in development game. I don’t know how serious it is.
Broony suspended. Other than those 3 we hopefully have no others missing.
Heb.
He could always try getting a life and gives us peace.
Tiresome mocking bird.
I can’t wait till the snp bring in that no emigrees return policy.
It’s a vote winner for me.
macjay
Uber briefly.
I’m not having a dig at how far you away you are from Celtic Park. But please be assured that many people in work are struggling to make ends meet, often with several jobs, zero hours contracts and wages carefully set to be legal. Just.
Many people in situations like that will take on weekend roles, like those at CP.
We as a club could help – if only a little – for the projected sum of £600k pa. That’s a medium investment to achieve something I believe should be at the core of our Club’s values. It would be open ended but not unduly onerous.
As for Fenian agent provocateurs. Here I do believe that distance denies you perspective. I’m usually on the front pew of the happy clapper choir. I have no involvement and marginal interest in the Celtic Trust et al. and/but I signed in a heartbeat. So too did any others though I can’t provide the actual %!
HH jamesgang
Is there any point to getting answers from macjay?
When his inconsistent or incorrect statements are noticed or pointed out to him on here, he just shoots the craw.
Fenian agent provocateurs.
Brilliant
Where would we be without all of them who came before us.
Great name for a band.
Hebcelt
I am sad to read you are disillusioned with things at Celtic.I only hope people at Celtic Park sit and take note.It is worrying to me men of your Celticness are feeling like you do.i hope you find resolution to them.
:-)
HH
Kayal injured? Hadn’t heard that. So with Scott Brown presumably suspended who comes into midfield alongside Mulgrew?
I guess the options are to move Johanssen back (is Kris Commons fit to take the more forward role?) or to bring in Biton or Henderson?
AN Tearmann thanks for your comment but I fear I am not alone .Hail Hail Hebcelt
Macjay
No, I’m not aware of any employee actively seeking (in public anyway) ‘intrusion’ into their employment conditions.
Does that make me and others wrong because we attempt to have those employees paid a living wage?
Does it make the thousands who’ve signed the petition in support of a living wage wrong also?
Do you think Celtic should sign up to be a LW employer?
Geodie Munro
Cheers for that, didnt realise kayal was hurt.
Take it that will be a change in midfield.commons or henderson.
Sad Lustig is out, maybe Darnell fisher could come in.
Choices eh Ronni
:-)
HH
Another day another fight over at Ipox.
Today Sir David and The Lying King are having a
wee spat over the £20 million that Mr King
put into the club.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
KING wants to claw back the £20m he invested in Rangers in 2000 on the basis of non-disclosure of the club’s true financial position – but Murray says the former director had every opportunity to question the finances.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Geordie
Doh! Apologies
HH
Gordon j,
I heard he came off injured in reserve game. Dunno severity.
I’m assuming Bitton will slot in. I’d like to see Efe play there or (what others have suggested) Efe at CH and deneyer in the broony role.
But I’m thinking with Efe playing last night, to do the suggested formation would see O’connell play at CH
hebcelt
It WILL pass sir:)))))
Have a great day.
following the Hoooooooooooooops is like a heart monitor, up and down ,up and down if you were always the same i.e flatlined ye would be , well ye know :)))
have a Tim filled day all.
Lots to do so Till tomorrow
Hail Hail and as ooooor Lennybhoy would say Keep The Faith.

King was using Rangers to transfer money in an attempt to evade his tax responsibilities to the SA inland revenue.
Hebcelt
Keep the faith sir, it’ll pass.
Hail Hail
Has anyone had a look at the christmas 2nd class stamp? Young lad on it wearing a Celtic tammy. Has there been no complaints yet?
Surely the Post Office must be added to ‘The List’
Macjay 1002-
The income deficits arising from losing 17000 season ticket holders in the space of 5 years and failure to qualify for the CL and receive the consequent £20 million income represent a larger funding shortfall than the costs associated with adopting the Living Wage.
In my view loss of revenue due to falling attendances and poorer results on the park are a greater threat to the retention of jobs at Celtic than the adoption of the living wage.
Just my view.
