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.

Actually at one point.
We had a poster who decided to post the views of the Ulster Unionists to back up his attack on the GB.
Scroll back would locate it, if its not been zapped.
Its rife on this site. Loads of good Celts, but a lot of lizards as well.
I will paraphrase another poster, you will know who it is, who said, in a flippant manner, ‘Well, Fascism was certainly easier’.
He likes the odd Enoch Powell quote as well.
And this supposedly, is Celtic Quick News.

Where on earth did you get the impression CQN was the domain of the middle class, whatever that is.
It has always been classless, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Eccentric and eclectic yes but never have I felt it restricted by a division of income.
Is it because I live in a society in which class in the classical sense is non existent?
Maybe.

It’s fine but they don’t represent the views of those I know who attend every week.
————————————————————
What will they do with their time the next two home games under suspension? Hope they take their protest somewhere more appropriate. Would be great to see them on the streets where political battles are won or lost.

I could give you a wealth of source material, academic, but i wont.
Its not my core belief, its historical fact.
Any cursory glance will confirm.
A Football association and referees run by members of a secret society, do i have this wrong?
No, not at all. Its a simple reality.
HH
Middle class…..
How do you think the middle class got middle class?
Grow UP.
Ditch it.
The upper class Iz the problemo..LOLOL. Even then they are just Humans and will find it harder to find Favour with the Lord.
Time to stop Judging methinks.
Then I saw
Auldheid,
Aye 4 years ago and it betrayed his two sides of the same coin attitude and lack of independent critical thinking, another sheep bleating to the MSSM tune.
Now though after four years of persistence he’s on the bandwagon not because it’s the right thing to do but because it is becoming fashionable and potentially bring a bit of publicity.
I know your on their bandwagon but that won’t discourage me from telling the truth about another sleezy little outfit no better then the SFA trying to further their leaderships personal ambitions for profit and power.
Being dismissed as a typical “old firm” supporter actually typifies their commitment to justice and transparency. Played the player not the ball.

This is a great place mate, trust me I’m on honeymoon with the most amazing woman I’ve ever met because of it! :-)
However, it’s populated by folk who hold world views completely opposed to mine.
We’ve got guys from Ireland who rarely attend calling Celtic supporters ‘parasites’ and regular attendees calling them ‘knuckle draggers’ (I’ll happily introduce you).
Panty wettersCSC

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
===================
Attending every other week means what though?
Don’t get me wrong, my stance has always been that without folk like yourself, folk like me would not have a team to watch.
But you don’t attend to satisfy me, you attend because you want to. You enjoy the experience in a way that suits you and I enjoy the experience in a way that suits me. There is no order of merit or altruism involved. What you do get from attending is the views of others of the same mind.
I remember a few years back at meeting at the Celtic Supporters club saying something about my type of support and a big lad as passionate as you are looked at me and said “I never realised there were other ways to be a supporter ”
Football is interdependent by nature and we all depend on each other for our kind of enjoyment. As Shankly said its a form of socialism, which for me has a consideration for others as a prime value.

Fcuk the banners at Celtic Park, if it’s not all about ego’s get out on the streets and make a difference.

Does Macjay want Celtic to succeed any more or less than you do?
Come on ffs.
I detest Macjay’s politics as he does mine but I respect he’s a Celtic supporter, like you and I, like all of us on here.
There has to be common ground going forward otherwise Celtic are in the shit with the UEFA. Surely you can see that?
We can organize protests against the Brit occupation of the Six counties and march all day for that cause. Take it to the streets! That would actually mean something as opposed to cowardly hiding behind a Celtic game demeaning the Cause in the process.
=============================================================================
If I were there I might well join you .
A peaceful well organised street protest .
Instead of hiding behind the safety net of Celtic in cowardly fashion.

All you bhoys have my utmost respect.
I just see things from another angle.

=================
It wont discourage you from telling what you think is the truth not what you know is the truth. We all do it.
I’m on their bandwagon because they represent the best available bet to get a result I’ve been pursuing because I love football and hate being cheated.

That’s what I’m saying but our thoughts create the reality we live in.
If you don’t like that reality change how you think or at least be open to the possibility you might not be right in what you think.
Macjay
Why should any Celtic supporter put up with you calling them ‘parasites’
Ask yourself that.
I certainly wouldnt.
That abuse is something id expect from a hun.
Id put an end to it even quicker in that case
Spot the difference with the previous?

Im right, sorry about that.
I dont mean to sound like a dk, however, believe me, i know what im talking about.
Its not just a case of some morons at the SFA.
Its much bigger than that.
Maybe you should be willing to consider the possibility of what im saying?

We need Every Celtic Supporter there on Wednesday.
Waiting for info but likely a seat beside the Pete will be avail. Enticing I know.

You and Canamalar, BRTH, and Morrissey
Have laid it bare, in explicit detail….The whole kit and kaboodle
What we are up against, is a corrupt elite, who know every dirty trick in the book, and then some.
Its not only about football.
Its about control, and the very fact that we can be stymied at every turn, aint no coincidence.
You know all this.

At 01:37…post.
I’m not sure what you are trying to say
I spell the name AlasdaIr with a “d” because it is the name my father spelt it with.
I believe this is the correct Gaelic spelling of his name.
On the birth certificate it spells “Alexander”.
Because his father was “Alexander” (born 1869 Caithness), he got called Alasdair. To differentiate.
Anyway, from Alexander…you get:
Alasdair
Alexander
Sander

Alec

In no particular order.
Etc.
And apologies for the ones I’ve missed.
And, by the way…
All us Highland Republican Protestants love the memory of Wolfe Tonne.
And Napper Tandy too.
Jealous in fact.

Why should any Celtic supporter put up with you calling them ‘parasites’
============================================================
The organisation has parasitic elements .
Many of the individuals are politically indoctrinated sheep.
( or maybe lambs )
More to be pitied than despised .
Have they heard about the peace process ?
How about the Shankill Butchers ?

Sticking to my guns.
Needs must.
I wont be there on Wednesday.

Do they care about the safety of Brendan ?

Do you have any evidence for your vile nonsense?
Or are you just smearing without foundation, as usual

Funny how the results of that collusion have harmed those who are part of it much more than they have harmed us. I’m not saying it has not happened, I’m saying its not as powerful as its cracked up to be.
A simple evidence based reality that suggests the secret society approach to life isn’t working too well for them. If it was, their freemasonry approach would see more than 5 titles at risk from 2003.
Their core belief is crying out for them to revisit but as “the people” they cannot surrender it.

You actually know nothing, apart from the dung you read in the right-wing press.
Its all poorly constructed baloney, from someone thousands of miles away, thats it.
You have no conception of anything outwith your restricted understanding of life, which has been coloured in, with a wee blue pencil.
You dont have the intellect to be clever, stick to your fascist bs, General Franco.
Aye.
Ya. Basta.
The Green Man says SACK THE Board on 22nd July 2017 2:46 am
Indeed but I think it has more to do with their greed and a mistaken belief in their superiority.
Its probably our best weapon.
