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.

It is no longer the same pub, if you’ve never been you should try the Storey Bridge, good pub.
Time for a break, Golf beckons. Fairly foggy here, just as well I don’t drive the ball too long.
Kit..,
Please don’t confuse matters after providing the clarity.
You mean have the owners read the charter surely?
The answer would be the majority of the owners know the charter very well however the most powerful minority of owners appear to be ignorant of the charter and view it as a PR brochure.

Well… when you put it like that.

You don’t have to be a member to agree with them and support their aims. People vote for political parties without joining the party.
What a effin busy morning that was.
few thousand phone calls taken from irrate, individuals, charities, groups, organisations, countires, continent’s aggrieved at my support of their various causes without them having previously given their personal consent to my support of their respective situation\s.
busy busy busy. So so busy.

see thats what we expect from you pair.

new article posted.
if the celtic trust has 2,000 plus members, thats a big big number of shareholders and a collective voice.
that strong,
wow.
#A Ceiler Gonof Rust – you and others like you, e.g. Janette Findlay, who attach themselves to our club, are akin to what the Militant Tendency were to the Labour Party, a number of years ago. You would destroy us for your own ends.
You think you know better than everyone else, only your view counts ( just like your SNP mob) and everyone else is an uncaring wretch.
As you said in your last post, you would see our club damaged in order that your ‘so called’ political views are met.
Well, your NOT the Militant Tendency and Celtic FC is NOT a political organisation.
Leave your politics at the gate, or, don’t come in – that is if you ever do.
There are too many of our number, to my utter disgust and astonishment, who would vote SNP and have an independent Scotland, just for the ‘tit for tat’ against the Ibrox legions.
The Ibrox legions are NOT the UK, in fact their behaviour and practices are reviled by most right-thinking people across the UK.
Let me assure you – a independent Scotland would not be in the interests of our ‘kind’
Name me one direct Celtic employee who is complaining about the ‘living wage’? All employees that I know confirm that they have excellent working conditions and real value ‘perks’, which far outweigh another £1 per hour.
NegAnon2. If you can’t wake up to yourself, I will indeed move on.
Whether you agree with macjay1’s view or not, it is a sincerely held view from a Celtic man who was at Celtic Park long before most of this blog was born.
The bile that has come from certain posters who disagree with him is something that would never have been tolerated here.
This place has been hijacked by a faction who are anti Celtic in many of the club’s positions.
Whilst Scottish football is probably scheming to facillitate a third incarnation from Govan, this blog seems intent in creating internal discord.
Can’t get my head round it.
Will the activist Celtic support once again rely on other clubs’ supporters to thwart the SFA?
Don’t back against it.
And no, I don’t attend Celtic Park regularly, so the usual suspects can discount my opinions as being invalid.
I’m away back to TSFM blog, where the important football matters are discussed.
