Ronny Deila is wasting his breath when trying to warn those who throw pyrotechnics that they damage Celtic’s reputation. That fact is already well established but is irrelevant to those for whom throwing pyrotechnics is part of their football experience.
There is a clash of culture here. ‘The Man’, whether that be Uefa or the Health & Safety Executive, forbids pyrotechnics at football, but the consequences are visited on Celtic, not those who bring the pyrotechnics. No one has been brave enough to put their name to the pyrotechnic culture and I suspect no one ever will.
The last 24 hours has been a huge success for this unclaimed culture; it managed to grab some of the little space alongside the David Bowie news on Radio 5Live this morning, and many other places, adding fuel to the fire, if you pardon the pun. Someone is glowing with an “I did that” sense of achievement, although, of course, he’d never say so openly. It will continue unless the consequences are moved away from Celtic.

2012 – establishment club die and the
Celtic board start to apply the brakes .
———————————————————————————————————————————
In all those years it is the Celtic supporters that have “applied the brakes” – crowds dropping every year!
The board have adapted to conditions to keep the club strong and solvent.
Should we have ramped-up the debt to a level of £50/60 million during this time, leaving us at our weakest when the Hun returns.
Celtic has a facility at the bank if it needs it – if and when it is needed when, not if, they come back, we will respond and accelerate away from them.
Last two CL qualifications have been a disappointment – but against Maribor and Malmo, we were in eminently winnable positions – management and players MUST shoulder the blame – NOT the board.
67heaven…,
the most pathetic in your life ? really, why do I think your pants are on fire right now.
your clamor to appease liars and cheats is palpable.
Many times I have stated on here.
When you were a wee nasty ned running around pishing everywhere, singing sectarian and racist songs, getting involved in violence. Most kids mature in their own time, you were given that time but turned into the perfect example of the worst kind of holy willie. Revisionist to the core and a sad auld clown who will claim to have never been involved in any of those things, liar.
The kids go to games to let off steam and feel like big men in the relative safety of their tribe, most will mature quickly enough and move on, (hopefully they dont become as poisonous as you and many on here) the ones that don’t usually end up in the jail anyway. If these kids came from money it would be called high spirits and probably by people like you, but they don’t, so they are simply termed neds like you.

For a wee example: How much money do you think Celtic fans raised for the hunger strikers?
So…Lets stop pretending please.
The GB, are first and foremost fanatical Celtic fans….they are not political revolutionaries.
===================================================================
Would you happen to know who was responsible for the Irish tricolour which featured Che Guevara ?
Brilliant song from the 70’s & 80’s
your gonny get your flucking head kicked in
Oh there wont be many going home
Those were the days
Hopefully…..Auldheid and his res:12 rebels will bring home the bacon coz….it looks as though, Timdom’s only remaining hopes lie in their hands ?…….Hmmmmmmm ?
Or, maybe we’ll at some stage….face the huns in the SC and, the mibbery-assisted-magic-hat w.ill prove too strong for Ronny(heaven forbid) and, that disaster will pull all the Celtic supporters who are sitting on the fence re: the board / PL etc…..off the fence and, doon to the Celtic Park car-park for a – Sack The Board demonstration ?
Conclusion….the board won’t condemn all the hun scandals and will, try to brass it out in the hope that this tsunami of evil cheating will blow over and that, the board won’t need to get involved.
Either the huns will cheat Celtic out the SC this season and, at the same time….push the Celtic support over the edge – or – we’ll have to wait until we endure a season of horrible / ugly / rioting / cheating and, then have to restructure the club.
PLC stands for – Robin Hoods in reverse…bin it.

Re your reply from JP yesterday do you think our PR department will brief John Collins now for future conferences or let him state his opinion rather than that of the club as a whole?
After all we have been advised that the PR dep to a good job

I was as I said happy with the Response I got, but reading between the lines, I would imagine JC got a talking to, am I 100% sure of that? I have to say no.
McJay
My point was, that there is no comparison between the political activism of Celtic fans in the seventies and eighties and the GB.
As for Che…..Che is a humanitarian icon……you will see his face in many places all over the world, not only at Celtic Park.
I dont see the problem…..Nelson Mandela springs to mind also.
HH
Jeez the irony of the oldest ned in town calling anyone a ned :oD)))
Physically assaults a Celtic supporter in the pub and then accuses everyone else of interfering when they condemn the violence.
Now can anyone remind me of the violence these wee neds at the game were accused of ?
anyone, any violence ?
NAW because the neds were in the pub watching the game, wee bhoys went to support their team and get a bit wild like countless before them including the old neds.

I’m sure you know I didn’t suggest the board spend 50-60m and ramp up the debt but we could and should have been banking Champions League money in the years since the bigots were liquidated , making us stronger for when the Tribute Act arrived in the same league as us .
We didn’t bank that money because the board downsized , if we had invested sensibly and stood up for what is right then crowds would not have dropped so much and we would be in a stronger position all round .
Can anyone answer a question re the voting power of our board. When voting as one, what % of the vote do they control?
( I did read a number suggested by an eminent CQNer recently which surprised me, so can anyone confirm?)
67heaven…,
yer havering again, I grew up a bit and am happy to let the kids do the same unlike you, you want them jailed and without a future, well done you.
Fred Quimby
I forgot to add , the Huns can’t return .
They died in 2012.
Get rid of the myth that these splinter groups are only kids, yes the kids carry out Manoeuvers , but the orders are not given out by kids, they are given up by so called grown ups, who are basically organising and grooming them, and CFC know this, post all the distractions you like, let the kids enjoy the games and supporting Celtic by all means, but stop using them from political gain.
McJay
Would you prefer it, if Celtic fans had Tricolours with Tony Abbot, or David Cameron’s face on them:)
HH
The board downsized coz….
….the board know that an apathetic Celtic supporter base wont challenge them on it.
Some of the fans even go to the AGM’s and moan about pies not being hot enough!
Maybe a right good rodgering from the mibbery-assisted-huns is what the doctor will order ?
To wake yeez all up!
Couldny tell yeez how many times I’ve came on here to told that I’m daft to worry about the return of the evil ones as, they’ll soon be died!
Even Phil knows the games up….that’s how he’s getting off oot….imho.
TD67
Come on ffs…”Manoeuvres”….”Grooming”
You cannot get away with that….its purile nonsense.
You are talking s***
Ridiculous.
Get a grip.
HH
Happy birthday to COSY CORNER BHOY and ROSS!
BMCUWP
I hope you are as handsome as your Dad when you grow up!
:-)
I want a massive Tricolour with a full size Elle MacPherson on the white bit.
Now, that I could hang on my bedroom wall.
Nae bother.
TD67
I make you a serious offer.
Let us…me and you…Have a sit-down with those you are concerned about.
Let us get to the bottom of your worries.
What do you say?
HH
Celtic fans should have tricolors with ….
Mr Stein and his shadow(pic)
Mr McNeill holding aloft the big cup
Mr Lawwell with a Dick Turpin eye mask
Twists
94%

What do you think of their dress code though?
To me they look a bit like Mods, though maybe not quite so snazzy.
I can’t help thinking that in 40 or 50 years time they’ll all be bumping their gums moaning about how bad the youth of today are and how it wasn’t like that when they were young.

Celtic’s wage bill has been consistent over the last 7 or 8 years (38 to 40 million)
Due to the inflation in football wages driven from England, it might have slightly decreased in real terms.
However, the club will struggle to increase it:
– It’s unlikely that the muppets at the SPFL will ever agree to a decent TV deal.
– Scotland’s coefficient will make CL qualification more difficult.
– There was no uptake in season books after the board lowered the price
Physically assaults a Celtic supporter in the pub and then accuses everyone – See more at: http://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/ronny-wasting-his-breath/comment-page-16/#comment-2752262 Lol, you listen to some shite, as I said, this is a day late and predictable, fire in any old crap, and at all times avoid the issue, no wonder res. 12 is on its knees with the likes of you involved in it, and I predicted that almost three years ago, your all wind and pash you.
From what I could see at the match on Sunday, three of the very young bhoys who threw the flares, were pulled out of the crowd and bundled into the back of a police van. All who threw flares were arrested. Only three landed on the pitch. Therefore we will know the identity of this heinous crime. Not a bit of violence in Stranraer otherwise. When I think what my generation got up to in our teens. Laughable!

Nothing wrong with thinking.
You should give it a try sometime, you might surprise yourself.

Come on T.
Are we going to meet the GB?
I will hold the jackets:)
They will just love you.
Could be a good one if we can come to an understanding.
And you can tell them, about you and Masty belting out the rebel tunes in the Brazen:)
You old rogue:)
HH
With a £40 million wage bill….we should be reaching at least the semi-final stage in the EL…imho.
And, we would be if,………Collins or, McGhee or,Keane had the keys to the dug out.
Ye don’t need a lot of money….ye just need to be …..cute.
Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on 12th January 2016 9:31 am
….hahahahaha…..thank goodness you haven’t lost your sense of humour …… …… I have a major issue with the dangers associated with Pyros only …. Youthful behaviour which doesn’t threaten to injure / kill fellow supporters / Stewards / Police is understandable…..
…..Bed time zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….
67Heaven
I dont think those kids were trying to ..er,..kill anyone.
High spirits id say, and two fingers to the coppers who harass them.
Ive done a lot worse at games in my younger days….and so have a lot of you:)
So dont give me that.
Whats worse….smoke bombs, or real ones?
Shhhhh

The green man
Worries? I have opinions yes but no worries, it’s a blog, as for sitting down with you, please don’t take offence, but the last CQN guy who sat beside me ( contrary unenvited by me) did not go to well, there are a lot of fish wives tails going about on what happened that night, a point that even that dafty Canamalar has started telling his version of what went on that night, and as far as I can remember he was in the Middle East at the time, but let’s not let the truth stop a good lie eh? It must be the Booz at these hootenannys that starts the stories, any way I got side tracked there, no I’m fine posting my opinion, and have not got a problem with you posting yours my friend.
Has there been a statement from Celtic yet regarding the Police intimidation of Celtic supporters travelling to Stranraer on Sunday? One bus convenor told me that they were stopped and searched three times on the 90 mile journey.
There could be a headline in a few years time HOW THE CELTIC SUPPORT FOUGHT WITH EACH OTHER AS SCOTTISH FOOTBALL WAS WASHED DOWN THE DRAIN.At a time when we need to be united and to agree to do something to try to stop the cheating by the Establishment the Rangers the MSM the men in black the SPL and the SFA.We are being led by the nose to argue about flares and the bad behaviour of the Celtic support and who is it that is diverting us from the real problems in Scottish football it is the MSM of course.It may well come to pass that this is the last season that many football fans in Scotland will follow Scottish football if the corruption is not routed out and we are arguing amongst ourselves. H.H.
Looks to me like the problems in the Labour Party are being reflected on here. The hard left loonies are trying to take over and hell mend the consequences. How anyone thinks those idiots can be defended is way beyond me. Celtic should stop taking any allocation for away games until the away support root out their malignant tendency. Some folk must know who these “young kids” (?!?) are. They can’t be so young that they can travel to Istanbul and cause trouble there. Get rid of them now.
