This morning’s article in the Daily Record is not a work of fiction. They reported that SFA chief executive Stewart Regan’s “bid to deliver a broad consensus over the way forward also involved discussions over the appellate tribunal’s transfer embargo on Rangers.”
In short, the SFA discussed changing their rules to disband the Independent Appellate Panel process before instructing Lord Carloway to sit in response to the Court of Session’s rejection of his previous judgement.
With two further Independent Judicial Tribunals still to sit in judgement on the actions of Rangers, for the illegal registration of players and non-payment of social taxes during the EBT era, the SFA will also subvert these rules before ‘Rangers’ are expelled from the Association.
After the meeting Regan left for his summer vacation without instructing Lord Carloway to convene the Appellate Panel.
That’s not all.
The scam to establish an SLP 2 in order to allow the SFA and SPL to co-opt ‘Rangers’ into that league is what the governing bodies have planned for your game.
If rules are changed AFTER a club is found guilty and in receipt of a penalty in order to nullify that penalty the game in this country is broke, ethically and financially. Having established independent judicial panels to deal with serious rule breaches the SFA cannot do Rangers bidding without removing all judicial oversight.
We’re back to the days of George Peat walking in and out of hearings for the Celtic manager.
Most disturbingly of all, YOU are the cash cow for this outrageous enterprise. With Rangers gone from the SPL Celtic fans bring all the commercial and television income into the game, and are set to buy more away ground tickets than all other clubs put together.
You are expected to continue to cough up for tickets to Tynecastle, Rugby Park etc, and subscribe to ESPN and Sky Sports – money which will divvied up among SPL 1 and SPL 2 teams, as well as they rest of the Scottish Football League clubs, to compensate for them missing out on a ‘Rangers’ game.
You will also pay more money for those tickets than any other group of fans in the league. Why don’t you just write a cheque to Kilmarnock, Falkirk or Cowdenbeath today?
This nonsense will not bring another £1 into the game, all it will do is redistribute money from your pocket to clubs who care nothing for you. Partick Thistle yesterday released a statement on their site, “We believe Scottish football needs to be restructured, financial distribution needs to be fairer for all clubs”.
“Financial distribution needs to be fairer”! Patrick Thistle get to keep all their ticket sales, commercial and other income. By “fairer” they mean they want some of your money. If you agree with them, write them a cheque, but if you disagree, you better figure out what to do next.
Thoughts that some great victory has been achieved are premature. Prepare for the next instalment.
Our domestic competition is, at best, uninspiring. This disgusting land-grab for your cash will destroy our ability to compete in Europe, and it’s not just the senior team who will suffer. The Celtic youth system costs millions to operate each year, don’t fantasise that it will survive intact.
Celtic currently employ 27 Scotland youth internationals. They are almost single-handedly carrying the future of our national team. This attempt to bleed your club dry will devastate all areas, with subsequent consequences for the Scotland team.
It’s not often I’ve told you the Daily Record have nailed a story but this one is on the money (your money). I’m at a loss as to what to do next.
We cannot accept this.

‘I trust our host, do you?’
Depends what you mean. Is he dishonest? No, not so far as I’m aware (which is a qualification I would add in respect of anyone I don’t know personally). Do I accept his opinion on everything? No.
Do I trust those from whom he gets information? Not necessarily.
On this occasion I think the change in mood has come from the board, and as such it should be taken seriously.
Is that clear enough?
Never a penalty for me bhoys.

Do you have a problem with using instalment plan to pay or am I excluded from being a Celt as I find it difficult to fund a ticket with a one off payment.
Yours in Celtic
Hi Paul67. Hope you enjoyed the circus. Hard to imagine it had as many surprises and madness as the SPL but hope it was a release from the day-to-day mayhem. You are one of my heroes and I salute you. Did I tell you that Alex Thomson saluted me for alerting him to issues here a few months ago? Sorry, I’m getting big-headed with the drink!
I’m really unsure where we go from here but I suspect the smart move from Celtic is to hold fire and let the eejits condemn themselves. They need to be expelled from Scottish football for a year while we set up a sustainable and equitable league system.
Irrespective of what pans out there is an absolute certainty.
The Zombies will not be in the SPL next season.Their support will dwindle.Monkeys who supported them all their lives will go and they will disappear where they belong.In the gutter.
Paddy g : for what it is worth, I would think Celtic would always prefer to sell a seat rather than knock back a buyer. They will also have things arranged that they will at least break even if not make more cash by giving the ten installments deal.
They are not always quick at processing things. I paid our tickets in full by cheque before the deadline and it took almost a month before the cash left my account. It is the same every year.
I would expect you would be fine, but just basing it on my experiences.

I haven’t read back the blog, but I take it you are referring to Paul’s leader !
I have to agree that it’s a worrying turn of events.
Maybes the board could have been a little more pro active, maybe they feel they are at a dead end, who knows, maybes they are hurting that there is no more OF, maybes they have decided to give up the fight, who the feck knows.
If what Paul is saying will transpire, some serious thinking needs to be done.
I can’t and won’t call for boycotts, being exiled, I am in no position to do so, but the only way to make the other clubs see sence is to deprive them of the Celtic pound, it is the only thing that will open their eyes.
The game at large is at serious risk here, they have to make the right choice.
Friend or foe.
They would be very foolish to choose the latter.

Just rediscovered Glenmorangie after a few years absence . Jeez that slips down nicely. And makes a trip to the loo akin to climbing Everest. Planted my flag in the loo roll.
Hhc : sorry, thought that was one of their packages.
Steinreigns…,
The memory of quite a few on here has me worried, the denial of quite a few on here has me worried.
Aye a lot of things going our way at the moment like many times before, seems to be conducive to memory loss.
A few on here tonight are having a pop because I dare criticise the board, they are trying to instil the notion that the board are the club, LIARS
None of them have addressed a single charge I’ve laid at their door.
Telling me it’s a privilege to support this board makes me puke, ignoring the charges is a Hun attitude, do you know anyone who was accosted by the terrorist squad two seasons ago? With our boards blessing.

There is a mini bus that comes from the Glasgow way,I got a lift up to the Ceder Inn one year Blantyre Kev is the man to speak to.

The fishal site makes reference to a ten-month instalment plan via Zebra Finance (subject to status). Best bet therefore is to call or visit the TO.
