Claims like ‘World’s most successful football club’ are meaningless to most football fans, as the vast majority are not attached to a club which can make such a boast. We are more concerned about who is winning and the direction of travel at our club.
When Newco made a totem of this claim by plastering it all over their properties, they clearly never considered what would happen in the event the claim was no longer sustainable. Losing it to a club in Serbia, or Egypt, would be awkward, but losing it to your nearest rivals? Going from ‘World’s most successful’ to not even being Glasgow’s most successful overnight! That’s going to sting.
The indignity of being forced to redecorate because Celtic have won more trophies than you is symptomatic of the mindset which caused Oldco to march off a cliff. They could not deal with playing second fiddle to Celtic to the extent that they gambled ever-higher stakes instead of paying tax bills.
What we are talking about here is identity. If your identity is intrinsically fixed to holding a position of primacy over others, no amount of red flags will stop you self-harming. The need to be No. 1 is so great, you spend everything you can trying to achieve that status.
Every football fan wants their team to win, but if you cannot cope with losing without losing your sense of future survival, you should find another way to spend your weekends.
The problem Newco have now, is how to convince thousands of fans to climb off the summit and accept their place in the food chain is that of a cash cow for other clubs and a coefficient monkey for Celtic’s Champions League campaigns.
That message will not be evident this summer, but it’s coming to a stadium near you soon!

Clearly you are a fan.
Whilst some of what you say is definitely true. It is not quite so black and white I would suggest.
Brendan not whiter than white. Board etc not all black.

Good one. I’ll make a guess at the FDA’s spokeperson”s religion.
Good morning all from a dry at the moment 10 degree Garngad
Sĥhhurely the hun cannot get more cash in CL for finishing 2nd in our league.
D. :)
Off to work and still smiling. A great time to be a Celt.
Thank you, Brendan.
Thank you, DD.
Thank you, fellow Celtic supporters.
3 weekends in a row on the lash…Time for a break and a content smirk !!
A wee question for any regular travellers to Ireland
Has anyone left their car at Cairnryan car park and walked on boat if so was there plenty spaces or is it rammed? Going 1st Aug
Good morning all from Govanhill. A fine day for Hamilton races and trying to keep Leggy reasonably sober. Will we spot any hun or are they still hiding?🤔
Vinniethedog
Been over twice recently with the car and there was plenty room for all passengers. Their lounges are big and comfortable. That is April and May though but I can’t see you having any problems in August.
BRRB
You will probably spot a hun or ten. Maybe hunners of Huns.
Will you see a handsome hun?
Nooooooo
Great view of the goal from Videocelts.

Be able to smell em before we see em. And that’s just the wummin.

Looking back at the goal, that wee barsteward Raskin really made a big effort to trip Bernardo and stop him from running towards the area. Well done to Paulo for not going down, it ended up being a great assist for Idah.

I can’t remember, was Raskin on a yellow card or did he receive a yellow for an obvious attempt to impede an opponent?
⬆️ Neither ⬆️
Also, the Dirty Diomande and Lundstrum red card offences happened in stoppage time when Celtic were leading.
At that stage I suspect the officials had had enough and just wanted full time and our of there.
Am not saying this is appropriate behaviour, rather, human nature.
Raskin got a yellow card at 90+2 mins.
I don’t remember it.
How that obvious attempt to trip Bernardo was not a yellow card is beyond me. He could have done it after play stopped. Although to be fair to the ref many of his ‘fraternity’ would not have played advantage but would have stopped play. It shows how little faith we have in the refs that playing an advantage is considered (at least by me) as worthy of comment, it happens across the world every day!
New kit gets brief intro

Approaching brigton the announcement is “mind the gap”. Ffs hahahaha 😆
Bigrailroadblues…I wanted to leave car at Cairnryan ( getting picked up ) and wondered if there were plenty spaces at Cairnryan to leave car
It says first come basis but has space for 300 ..I just wondered if anyone had left their car for 4 or 5 nights ?
https://x.com/Pmacgiollabhain/status/1795748824163762628?t=WD7FmUsC1ITTJgSF2ggCaw&s=08
Well said that man
Vinniethedog
Sorry, didn’t pick up on your query. There appeared to be lots of parking spaces on both my visits to Cairnryan. If you arrive an hour before sailing I’m sure you’ll get a space.

Very true, no stomach for R2gers red cards in Bobby Tait time
Queens park not releasing new home kit this season.
Austerity still impacting families. Better things to spend money on that football shirts.
Only a matter of time till Sustainability becomes a choice regarding mass over production and wasted football kits.
With our small in numbers but highly paid executive we need a chief sustainability officer.
Good morning all from the Academical Vaults, Hamilton. Awaiting the arrival of the EK rabble.

Jimmy also said in his book that, “Mc.Grory of Arsenal didn’t sound the same as Mc.Grory of Celtic.
Dear moderator
I respectfully request that you remove tearman from this forum.
I feel strongly that he should be prevented from abusing posters like myself.
Last time he horribly denigrated my late father.
Sadly he possibly encourages others to join his ranting, and I don’t appreciate being called a hun by another poster.
This is a public forum and I believe you owe a duty of care to people who read articles posted thereon. It should not be used for trolling and abusing others.
I would appreciate a reply.
I would also be grateful if you could somehow spare me from a rabid reply from the named poster.
