Docco, the supporters are always going to be the blood flowing through Celtic's veins.
The support will always be the heart and soul of Celtic, but sometimes it's fun just to watch the football.
When folk start going to games just to watch the fans, then they'd be as well going to a zoo or, heaven forbid, watch Love Island.
It's great to be a part of something bigger than yourself, but that only makes up one part of being a Celtic supporter. A lot of what makes us fans is in dealing with days like today and knowing that tomorrow might be a little better and that Our Team will play well and make us forget about some of the other shite going on.
It's still about the football, mate........always about the football.

I was thinking more of the die hard man utd fans who became disillusioned about what their club had become and formed FCUM... Celtic fans need to take control of Celtic and bring it back to what it once stood for instead of a modern day corporate driven theme park

Docco, FC United are as bent as a make watch. The clown that financed Salford and Valencia was backhanding them to high heaven and the lads that were all high and mighty about the Glaziers were soon kicking aboot in decent cars and the like.I was thinking more of the die hard man utd fans who became disillusioned about what their club had become and formed FCMU.... Celtic fans need to take control of Celtic and bring it back to what it once stood for instead of a modern day corporate driven theme park
Love the theory, but I also like theory that dizzy Lizzie is a lizard person.......no entirely sure that that's the case though.

I hear what you're sayin but it's a wee bit too radical. I don't think it's that bad yet. Some want us divided but we'll always be united in the good of Celtic.I was thinking more of the die hard man utd fans who became disillusioned about what their club had become and formed FCUM...

Even in that scenario, Docco.........do you no think that once money starts getting thrown aboot that folk aren't going to be open to persuasion?
Fuck, we can barely agree about what day it is on here, can you imagine the clusterfuck if we were in the boardroom?
We'd bankrupt the club by lent?

It can be achieved in modern sport though....I know it's not football but I'm pretty sure the green bay Packers in the NFL are owned by or are at least run by fans and they are one of the most successful team in that league and I'm sure the only team in any sport over there run this way! I could wrong?

Tell that to the biggest capitalist bastard in America in New England.
I'm sure he'll patriotically tell you that you're wrong.
Barcelona, Real Madrid, The Packers.........they're all fronts, Docco. The voting block is with the major shareholders. It's like Sharia Law, your one vote is worth one tenth of theirs. It sounds great, but it's a hoax, mate.

Aye, Docco.....sounds great, but NFL revenues are generated entirely by media sales across the globe.Have a wee read of this...I know it wiki..however quite interesting..I was sorta right

It's a multi-billion dollar industry and anybody that thinks that someone isn't getting fat off of that grift is living in cloud cuckoo land.
The secret to financial success is keeping the financial success a secret!
By the way.........non-profits in the USA get tax exemption (as do organised religions). Have you ever wondered why all those TV evangelists have private jets????

First of the resolution 12 questions
Shareholder describes the board’s approach to the matter as “strange” and asks if they are “accepting cheating”.
The shareholder also says Bankier is “dubious” for recommending to vote against.
Lawwell responds:
Lawwell states that UEFA have no interest in the matter, as it’s outwith the five year period so any sanctions would have disappeared.
What will be done to take on Green Brigade?
The shareholder wants warnings outside the stadium about bad behaviour.
Lawwell:
A small minority are a challenge in terms of safety and protecting club’s reputation.
Societal issues manifest themselves through football.
We built the standing section for safety.
The Green Brigade provide youth, colour and passion but the concern is they don’t believe they are doing anything wrong.
They are breaking the law. We have closed 14 rows because of this. When you see certain banners and hear certain songs my heart sinks.
It allows our enemies to put us in with our rivals. We are not the same, we are different.
We had to take action to avoid stricter sanctions from UEFA.

I've always wondered why God has not made them crash for the way they exploit his people and use him as the bad guy dishing out rules that no-one seems to care about and threating to put people in fires.
