Supporters Association launch at Holyrood

850

The Scottish Football Supporters’ Association (SFSA), an independent body of pan-club football fans, yesterday launched the first independent evaluation of Scottish football governance, at Holyrood.

The SFSA’s nationwide survey will assess, for the first time, supporters’ views on the current position of the game, including the performance of the game’s governing bodies in Scotland.  The research will become an annual benchmarking & reporting exercise looking at all aspects of the game.

The SFSA’s online survey has been created in partnership with Prof. Dr. Axel Faix and Dr. Joachim Lammert, two experienced German academics who have undertaken similar evaluations on a national level in Germany and on a European level.

The SFSA, whose board includes former First Minister Henry McLeish; former MP and MSP Cathy Jamieson and Maureen McGonigle, Founder of Scottish Women in Sport and first female Scottish FA Council Member, has over 67,000 members supporting clubs across Scotland.

The SFSA is Scotland’s fans’ representative in The Football Supporters Europe network (FSE), an independent, representative and democratically organised grass-roots network of football fans’ in Europe with members in currently 48 countries across the continent.

You have invited to Have Your Say by getting involved with the project here.

Most importantly, you can participate in the survey itself here.

    Well, you have now.

     

    I get the serious thing but come on, your better than that.It’s not a closed shop.

     

    HH

  2. I feel sorry for some of the knuckle heads who post on here who don’t get Celtic. They don’t have what many on here are fortunate enough to realize. Supporting Celtic is a personal thing for me that no-one, player, executive, supporter, no-one, will ever take from me. I was born into it, I will live my life enjoying every moment of it and I hope my own bhoys take something of it with them. I feel truly privileged.

    fox, I’ve been back and forward for years on here with Macjay. I have no doubts whatsoever about his Celtic credentials, that’s never been in dispute, not once. I just know how to wind him up with the “fan” tag.

     

     

     

    Macjay,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,soreeeeeee. Ha ha, just jigging you bruv. Geis a kiss x

     

     

    Fox off

  4. Alasdair McLean. Hilarious. I am well trwv led in Scotland and abroad. Scotland hates Celtic. And it’s not a west of Scotland thing. In fact Catholicism weakens outwith west or Scotland and it’s worse. It’s a fallacy of a lie. A construct of the racism.

     

     

    You are all being played for fools.

     

     

    Guys like alisdair with a d are the true enemy. The ones who pretend to be someone else. Like paul67 feeding you squirrels and telling you lie after lie.

     

     

    Celtic are already dead. They committed suicide when the Huns died. It’s just taking you all a while to realise you too are following zombies.

    HT, no apology required but ffs stop pumpin yer new bride on the return key.

     

     

    Pervs so they ur.

  6. Karen must have asked for them to be allowed inside as she is a steward there – and as it was Linfield. She is most protective of her 3 Sons.

     

     

    Incredible pictures.

     

     

    I should never have worried about Anything.

     

     

    Superb.

     

     

    The Irish Comments are the most Important.

     

     

    CETIC PARK – ALL sing Loud.

     

     

    I’ve read with interest.

     

     

    I’ll hold Back for a while.

     

     

    I’m much mair likely to believe Tony D than so many.

    SA

     

     

    Some fkwit nearly brained LG with a bucky bottle, thats after SS has been subject to vile racist abuse.

     

    The PLC had nothing to say about it.

     

    I cant respect people who wont defend Celtic.

  8. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    Just a wee reminder

     

    I canvassed the SFSA for advice and help regarding Resolution 12 which has a direct impact on Scottish Football governance, I an Res 12 were dismissed by the SFSA as an old firm issue. The SFSA has no interest in Scottish football governance other than to use as a self-serving cause to advance their leaderships personal interests, power and prosperity. Identical to the leadership of the failing football governing bodies.

    Bada The GB are the future of Celtic. Next time you are at CP look around you and see how many supporters are under 40. Hh

     

    ================

     

    Indeed. but by their fifties the green will be greying, life will have corrected them and some young mob will be where they once stood and danced as the grey brigade take their seats. :)

  10. How dare you criticise the GB when you’ve sang a Rebel song at a Celtic game.

     

     

    Absolutely laughable.

     

     

    On here we’ve had Celtic supporters described as parasites and knuckle draggers.

     

     

    Where was their condemnation of the monkeys?

     

     

    Embarrassing.

    Spot on

     

    I called it out.

     

    I spoke the truth.

     

    They dont like it.

  12. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    HT

     

     

    And the same wee clique, have previous using the word ‘parasites’ in reference to Celtic supporters.

     

    Its clear as day.

    Honestly my friend I’m astonished and embarrassed by most of the comments on here. They certainly don’t represent me and most of the people I know who follow Celtic home and away.

     

     

    My Twitter account is the antithesis of Cqn and many of them are faithful every week.

    It’s up to UEFA and Linfield to say and do something about it. That’s their problem.

     

     

    Fcuk what the others do, let’s look after ourselves as best we can. We’ll end up a circus if we turn out a statement on every whim.

    =====================

     

    When was that Canman? Has to be 4 years ago.

     

     

    Attitudes then are not attitudes now. Res12 was not a priority then, but good governance most definitely is now. It has been in the SFSA manifesto since Jan 2016 and having dealt with them I’ve no doubts they want what we want and as matters stand might be the only way to get it.

     

     

    I’ll introduce you to the guy whom Regan got rid of because he was viewed as a thorn in his side. It will take you five minutes to be convinced its not about them.

    You’re fighting a good fight my friend please keep it up.

     

     

    I love Cqn but I was reluctant to post initially because I saw it as middle class and middle aged.

     

     

    I’m now middle aged but my political opinions haven’t changed and I’ll never be determined by class :-)

    I filled that survey out, i was happy to do so.

     

    However, when i checked out the ‘board’ members, McLeish and Jamieson.

     

    I dont think i will bother, ive seen enough board antics to last me a lifetime.

     

    Deja Vu?

  20. Honestly we were in receipt of 5 charges over the 2 Linfield games only one of which was related to supporters behaviour. Despite that the club only make one statement and it’s only to criticise their own supporters. It’s embarrassing.

    We all know the reality of how football is run in Scotland.

     

    Its foolish to think you can change the system without tackling the root causes.

     

    The real issues are avoided by all manner of backhanded skullduggery.

     

    Its screaming injustice. Thats my opinion.

     

    I know not many will agree, but you cannot make an omelette without breaking some eggs.

  22. See to be honest if that arse hole Donnelly is criticising the Celtic support then I know we’re doing something right.

    How dare you criticise the GB when you’ve sang a Rebel song at a Celtic game.

     

     

     

    ================

     

    I was laughing at myself on Wednesday as I joined in The Soldiers Song. Its a song I like the tune of and one my dad told me to watch a reaction to when it was played as the national anthem in a Scotland v Eire match in the late 50s. That was my introduction to them being offended but powerless.

     

     

    What I was laughing at was I knew their powerlessness must be annoying the bluenoses no end.

     

     

    Me bad in a schadenfreude kind of way.

  24. This is the Story.

     

     

    Everyone is a part of it.

     

     

    All Kids go straight to Heaven.

     

     

    I dare not say that to an Incredibly friendly person, that helped me so much… Lost a Daughter then gained a Daughter and then Lost a Daughter.

     

     

    It is so hard. He helped me so much.

     

     

    He is now Helpless.

     

     

    Pray for Dave & Lauren please.

    Brendan being used is DESPICABLE. Utterly Despicable.

     

     

    I listen to the Old Crew.

     

     

    They are not so easily led.

     

     

    Last Chance…… LMFAO

     

     

    Agenda Brigade is obvious now.

     

     

    The Antifa Agenda.

     

     

    Oo er

     

     

    Christ is Clear.

    P I hope you’re well my friend, keep fighting your fight.

     

     

    We partake in a very middle class blog with middle class views. It’s fine but they don’t represent the views of those I know who attend every week.

    You think you’ve got problems?

     

     

    We’ve got Roy MacGregor…..without whom we’d be nothing.

     

     

    No problem with Roy……apart from paying off apprentices halfway through their training.
