    Why? What's the difference between a fan and a supporter?

    I'm well aware of what the Record is, and what their ****in daily agenda is.

    Och I know mate..I just had too much time on my hands the last couple of weeks <laugh>

    Their attempts right now to sell us the Old Firm as the only thing that matters, are utterly transparent and pathetic. I'm far more interested in what the club are/aren't doing, than i am in the media's attempts to weld us and the huns together. <ok>

    I get more excited about playing Rangers (2012 - Present) in a cup semi-final than i do playing Ross County in a cup semi-final.

    Regardless of Rangers being a new club, they still have one of the biggest fan bases in Scotland, and even though they died, anyone who supports Celtic and says they don't care when we line up to play the new club is crazy. Old or new, i want to pump them and put them in their place (although it's beginning to look like that ship has sailed).

    This whining about the papers is ridiculous. It happened before they died, and it will happen again. In fact, i'll go as far as saying it'll happen EVERY time we play them. Writing an Old Firm headline sells more papers than writing "New Rangers to play Celtic in 2nd ever game between the 2 sides!", probably saves them losing even more readers, gets them more hits on their website, and probably leads to their postman not ****ting himself every time he delivers a package.

    Anyone who supports Celtic is entitled to an opinion, regardless of owning an executive box, streaming the games because they can't afford a season ticket, or having once bought a mug to drink their tea out of at the office. That's exactly why some people agree with (a limited) amount of your opinions, and also why some people disagree - because there is no scale anywhere that says your opinion or views hold less value than someone who bangs a drum each week in Section 111.

    That guy's article only cries out to you because it argues that every fan should blindly follow Celtic, never complain about the team or manager, and if they do then they aren't actually 'real' fans, which is an approach you seem to be quite a proponent of.

    I mean, come on, going on about a sustained campaign from the media? Which other club with it's own collective of dribbling, repetitive followers also thinks the MSM is carrying out a sustained campaign against their club to shed it in negative light?

    Also, fan is short for fanatic. You know, as in Celtic's fanbase. It's basically the same as a supporter.

    The press are desperate to play their part in getting us all just to move on like nothing happened. They have always been guilty of favouring one club! anyone who doesn't see that is just plain stupid. The governing bodies have ripped up their own rule book to accommodate the ****s, after years of financial doping! I could be wrong, but are you saying let's get back to that cause it's the best thing we have? Justice first!!! then I'll think about going to watch a competition that involves them. Going back to getting cheated is not an option for me..i've had enough.

    And unless our club state the same, my ST monies will be going on other things.

    When did i say move on? That wouldn't be fitting enough for Celtic or Rangers fans, most of whom live in the past as it is.

    Yes, you're wrong. At no point did I say "Haw, let's go back to a time when Rangers got away with financial doping, 'cos it's pyoor brilliant!"

    Fine, don't watch the Semi-final, matters not a jot to me. I'll watch it, I'll want to pump them, and whether they're dead or not will have little to no bearing on that fact.

    I'd like to watch a fair ccompetition, but it looks like it might never happen. Fair play to anyone who wants to watch/go, they are still the same fans to me. I just think my money will be better used elsewhere. I'm not kidding when I say that if the club don't act, when the time ccomes to speak up, I don't think i'Il be the only one not buying a ST.

    There will be plenty of Celtic fans saying the same thing, can the club afford to lose us all? ffs, the stadium is like a morgue just now!

    Right or wrong, my financial support of the club depends on the stance the club takes...i'm in limbo :(

    Again I didn't say only those that pay the most deserve an opinion. I believe that a guy who sticks his mortgage on Celtic probably deserves more of a say than wee Sean who only checks the results on sky.

    You don't need to take this as a personal slight. I am wee Sean and I respect that those that really love Celtic and go every week deserve more of a say, even if I disagree with it.

    The article cries out to me because we are top of the league going for a double and we have fans that think this is the worst team ever and want the manager sacked now. They clearly don't remember the bad times if that's what they think

    Faithfull froo n froo

    If you haven't seen the attacks on Celtic and on Delia over the last 2 years then I commend you on being able to ignore the Scottish press for so long. I aim to do the same one day

    Thanks for letting me know the definition of fanatic. I wasn't claiming it meant something else , I'm trying to say I believe there are categories of fans/supporters so I've categorised them myself. I don't think I'm the only person on here that thinks the same way

    I don't take it as a personal slight because I don't know you, and you don't know me, what I have put in the club or what I currently put in the club, but anyone who puts their mortgage on going to see a football team should be sectioned.

    I want Delia sacked, and so will most others once we are roundly pumped in European qualifiers this summer. Regardless of the double, he is not the man for the job - we haven't progressed on the pitch, his signings are suspect at best, and the cries about the media being out to get him are simply excuses by his more vocal supporters who are simply happy to scrape a title win.

    IF we lose to Rangers in the semi-final, it will be interesting to hear whether you all still think it's a successful season and he deserves time, or whether it was inevitable due to the players being affected by negative headlines.

    We all support the club in our own way, do we not? comparing levels of support seems daft to me. My view isn't more important than wee Sean who checks the scores on sky.

    The wee bawbag could get aff his arse and go to a game though! <laugh>

    I am convinced that the signings would be the same no matter who the manager is and I don't think we can progress if we keep selling our best players

    Would we still be in Europe if we had van dik? I think so

    If we get rid of our manager we need rid of lawwell and park too or next season won't be much different
