Significant supporter relations initiative

577

Celtic’s statement yesterday (available on Phil Mac Giolla Bhain’s site) covered a lot of ground.  It explained the environment the club operates in, its policies and strategy, gave historical context of their objections to the Offensive Behaviour Bill and on-going opposition to the Act.  In short:

Where we are
How we arrived here
What we’re doing about it

Most importantly of all, the club again advertised the Supporters Complaints Review Panel, populated by Celtic fans to investigate and review complaints by fans.  The importance of this structure has yet to be fully understood but it is the most significant development in supporter relations since Brother Walfrid said, ‘How you do fancy starting a football club?’

I spoke to three prominent supporters yesterday about the schisms among us, all of us were so dispirited.  Fortunately, our good friend Jeanette cheered me up this morning and assured me we are pretty much on the one road (my words and not a cue for a song).

And it was Jeanette Findlay, not Krankie, before you ask.

The football will be back soon, hang on in there.

    Reaching the end of Holy Week jogged my memory of Jesus of Nazareth on telly years ago.

     

     

    Anyone remember watching Deidco play cologne at Ipox on STV and immediately after cologne scored a goal, an image of The Crucifixion appeared on the screen during the live coverage?

     

    I think the national itv channels were showing a trailer during their programmes and a guy at STV flicked a switch at the vital moment. Cue loads of phone calls from apoplectic sevconians.

     

    Always wondered if it was a tim did it on purpose.

  9. mackjay1,

     

     

    Thanks, wasn’t the football rubbish. Couldn’t hold on to the ball and not helped by Candid Cameron’s babbling.

     

     

    What a difference Jock made.

  10. There was a (wee) bouncer in shuffles

     

    that liked to get involved in the scuffles.

     

    Although he wasn’t tall

     

    he would fight a brick wall…

    One of my favourite Deidco moments not involving celtic.

    Truffles, my dugs alerted me to someone on our spread yesterday, I asked him what he was doing, he had a fair size bag with him, full of truffles, white ones, never knew I was a Truffle farmer >}

     

     

    He gets about 25 euros a kilo for them, wasn’t too informative about how to find them mind you.

     

     

    Tasted no too bad though, no worth anything like the money, but some folks like caviar >}

    Being from govan … the nearest ive got was trifle … the birds variety :(

     

     

    Are white truffles not similar to white dog do… an urban myth … or was that sir Walter

  16. Ggh

     

     

    He was accused of shouting … tal … at the baying hordes as he was huckled away …. brilliant

    Classic stuff.

     

    Big Tam Gemmell selling the jerseys for their first goal.

     

    A view of the old Cathkin stand.

     

    At 5.37 the chant of “We love you,yeah,yeah,yeah.”

     

    Must have been just after the Beatles brought out ” She loves you.”

     

    The ” prezident ” at left half.Big “Shooz” bursting through.

     

    Loved it.

    Jeezo, so I was eating Sir Walter…….well feck me >}

     

     

    Real enough, but white would be pushing the bounds, more of a cream hue to them !!!

  19. Tet

     

     

    You might need to ask ” MR MURPHY” to flag that up. ;)

     

     

    What do truffles taste of btw

  20. mackjay1,

     

     

    ………and Jim Brogan, the midfield maestro!

     

     

    The fitba’ might have been a bit basic, but being at the games were the highlight of the week.

     

     

    On the Saturday night would begin three days of analysing, followed by three days of anticipating the next game.

     

     

    I honestly think our generation had the best of Celtic….and the music.

     

     

    You kind of feel sorry for the young wans…….no, I don’t really, let them create their own memories and legends.

    Yer man found about 20 in the space of an hour, the rain pushes them to the surface apparently, each would have been about a round egg size.

    Off to bed, Truffle hunting in the morning.
