Listening to all this junk over the past few months has left me in a quandary. But a quandary with an easy decision! Quite simply, if RFC (IA) are allowed entry to the SPL next season I will not be renewing my season ticket at Paradise. Not only that, I will never attend another SPL/SFL game as long as I live. I am almost 54 and have followed my team through thick and thin for most of my life. This will come as a huge regret to me, but I just cannot stand this any longer. Celtic have been incomparably cheated against for most of my life, my father's life and my Grampa's life. Sporting integrity has always been questionable in Scotland in my folks time but this is, surely, the nadir of them all - how low can you go? This is another blatant disregard of rules and regulations, morals, ethics and anything that is good about people - whatever colour or creed. It will pain me not to watch the bhoys at the weekend, but we have to make a stand against this. Quite clearly this is akin to to racist/sectarian discrimination - will Salmond & Co make any mention? Now that the season is over it is high time Mr Lawell (as spokesman for Celtic) made our intentions quite clear. Celtic, the SPL/SFA/EUFA have been stunningly silent on the issues. It his high time, we knew. No integrity, No morals, No ethics. Sorry - Not for me, Keep your seat.
Mick, if that is the sacrifice I have to make then, as much as I will hate it, so be it. We have to make a stand. No longer should we be lambs. Stand up and be counted for. If you accept whatever they are about to let go of, you, also, should be ashamed of yourself. If it hurts Celtic (in the pocket) them I am sorry, but ethics and morals come first. It will hurt me more as a devoted fan. But, what is the point if there is quite clearly no fair-play rules. Celtic have a clear and simple avenue of attaining my support and revenue, as ever, by simply letting us all know that they will protest against any misdeeds, either in the past or future, involving any member. Make a statement next weekend against the wee huns (soon to be big huns lol) by letting Celtic PLC know that we will not tolerate this. I'll be taking my daughters and my grandson in the full knowledge that it might be my "last game". Hail Hail.
That's a harsh line you're taking Hoops440 but believe me, I do understand your frustration. However, I do hope you will reconsider - after all, it is Celtic we support and our club has had to endure all the shenanigans over all the years since its inception. It has managed to survive well and in doing so has shamed the bigoted attitudes of many. It may well have to put up with more to survive, continue to shame the bigots and hopefully bring about change, however so slowly - but Celtic FC needs it fans/supporters so I hope that you will keep the faith.
Understand what your saying , I am a wee bit younger than you,watched Celtic home and away for nearly 35 years.Part of life is Rangers will cheat to achieve their aim , the last thing any Celtic fan should do is walk away from OUR club , who are blameless in this corruption that had brought Scottish football to its knees.
Why? at least our reason for walking away from the game is a real reason. Not like your threats to stay away from away games because those mean boys are punishing us. Anyway i don't blame you scottish football is already a laughing stock and will only confirm it by letting a newco rangers stay at the top. If gretna are sent to the bottom so should rangers. The chairmen know the average fan will still turn up and pay there money, but thats because most fans are genuine mugs who believe the media hype and spin. We'll im with you OP im not getting took for a mug either. It'll be just one big pantomine. you've got no history... oh yes we have... oh no you don't... ad infinitum funded by gullible people
