    Fair enough ...but there's a lot of messages through it that basically say such yer mouth n stop moaning.

    If people are not happy , then they have the right to complain , especially if they are paying 300 quid to go... And the outlet for that is the media . How else , make a compliant to Celtic !

    And whilst I do not think Celtic should be pumping teams 1o nil each week , we should defo be playing a hell of a lot better. We have been ****in dire for a lot of this season .

    In his eyes , that makes me less of a supporter . So be it ... But I'm not the only one.

    And I don't need to grow up to make that point , so nah nah nah nah.

    We'll need to agree to disagree on this Dev as I think it's a poorly written peice from an uber fan .

    The MSM are desperate right now for us all just to get our Old Firm fix, and then we, the Celtic support, will all just forget about the years of cheating and we can all just move on like nothing happened!

    If our board don't at least become more vocal on this, I think I seriously will consider walking from the game. There are times when you need to be able to complain/criticise, right now is certainly one of them unfortunately. I don't think the board realise the depth of feeling on this, and if they don't get their finger out, thousands of us will stop paying to watch a rigged game! **** THAT!!!

    I see it as a piece written by a guy who remembers REAL bad times at Celtic. He feels imo complaints to the degree Celtic are getting make a lot of our fans look like huns with a sense of entitlement

    Yes , Celtic have had some horrible times to be a supporter ...

    But he says we should publicly show our support - no matter what - aye alright super hooper !

    Some might have a sense of entitlement, and that's fair but some are pissed off that there is no major signs of progress And the football this season has been turgid.

    I don't see an issue with people moaning about that .

    I think that the argument is that even though we are onto a double this year, following last year's, Celtic get no credit, only abuse. Saying we should turn over these teams and win doubles and trebles every year is arrogance befitting the Hun. Rubbish football has been the Celtic way since the end of oneils tenure. Strachan is hailed a genius yet his legacy was the last minute winner. 8 in one season I believe. Too many miss the huns and that says more about them than fans who will support the team no matter what.

    Besides the article does not say don't moan, it's criticises those that only moan. We could do 10iar but it won't be easy with groups of fans backing the media hacks over their own team

    If the board don't put justice ahead of ****ing having them in the same league, we'd be as well closing the doors, cause the game truly is up.

    The club is tearing itself apart over this, and people are preoccupied with our style of play! there are far bigger problems facing us than winning this title.

    Celtic do get credit, but expecting an entire support to become one collective, supportive entity is the opinion of an overt moron. Everyone won't always be happy, and the ones that aren't are entitled to moan, complain, and protest, be it in the pub, online, or by voicing their concerns at games. You're a fervent supporter of the GB and let's not kid ourselves that everything they complain about, more so at matches, is in the interest of the club, be that on or off the field.

    It's a ****e article designed to paint those that mindlessly support the manager and team just because we're top of the league and in the semi-finals of the cup as the good guys, and those that can actually see that little-to-no progress, particularly on the pitch, has been made at the club, as the bad guys, the lesser fans compared to his support.
    He's the kind of guy in the pub who sits on his high horse because he goes to all the games, buys all the tops, went to Seville with his da, and helps the priest hand out holy communion on a Sunday. The sort of guy who nullifies a point by asking when was the last time you went to a game.

    I'm not happy with where we are, and that's nothing to do with wanting to win the league by 20 points. And in not being happy and moaning about it, mainly online, does not make me less of a fan or oblivious to when times were bad.

    He doesn't say you can't complain. He might well be a super fan and good on him. He has invested in his club so probably deserves more of a say.

    Constant negativity towards a double winning team who could win another double and are favourites to do so is not helpful at all. Demanding sexy football and 20 point leads and European runs tells me that some fans really have forgotten the bad times

    Will constant negativity towards the players and staff when they are top of the league inspire them or demoralise them? I'd say the latter

    He says it matters not a **** how much money you spend if you moan ... As you don't know what it means to be a fan!

    So is his point more valid because he spends more cash than others and because he's a cheerleader ?

    Those who spend cash n moan , their opinion invalid ?

    Those who moan but spend no cash , they are not allowed a say ?

    We've had a chance to properly dominate and almost guarantee champions league qualifying...

    However , the board are happy to be just a bit better than 2nd in Scotland

    We never kick on from a position of strength .

    Rangers could be a force again ... We should be miles ahead and they should be a non entity . The cup game against them will be interesting.

    However , ignore me , I'm not a real fan.

    Why is his money worth more than mine? What do you know of my contributions to Celtic, be it shares, Celtic TV subscriptions, or anything else?

    The guy is a clown, BUT he's entitled to his opinion on Celtic, their form, or anything else, regardless of how much he spends, so to chastise others for daring to have an opinion, no matter how negative, smacks of someone with a pretty high opinion of themselves.

    Even better is that you seem to think the squad all have Not606 accounts and seemingly do care about what ****** the Dog says about their progress these past 2 seasons. I bet that's why Broony has being playing badly: because he can't cope with the negativity of my opinion in regards to the style of football we play <doh>

    I bet Ronny struggles to sleep because Pud isn't his biggest fan <doh>

    These guys are paid handsomely to play football - if the manager or the club can't get them to perform well, i think the last reason why would be because some fans aren't happy.

    I do think that if you spend more and go to more games you should have a louder voice on issues

    Fans who are up in arms over being top of the league have learned nothing from the days when we finished 4th.

    This guy can see a campaign to derail 5iar that other fans are jumping on and has surmised that these are the O'Neil generation of supporters who only knew the treble Europe and larsson. They only went when we were winning

    We do have those fans

    I think it's worse though

    I think older fans are having the Real Madrid mentality of sacking managers who don't perform in Europe

    Maybe you're right and we should kick down the door and demand the entertaining yet unsuccessful Burns style or the over spend O'Neil style or the boring Strachan style but I get the feeling we won't stop complaining even then

    You don't think players are inspired by the mood of the fans?

    So the 80 year old who spent 60 years going to games but can't anymore should have less input than some 30 year old dribbling spastic who goes home and away?

    A campaign <laugh>

    I remember the early and mid 90s when we were ****, but hey, this guy's just assuming things about peoples' age range so he must have a point <doh>

    I can't believe you champion idiots like the GB, regardless of what they do, but support some chump who is putting down others for daring to be negative about the team <laugh>

    You're unreal, man. You have to be a troll.

    I havn't said you can't have your say or that some voices are worthless but there are supporters and there are fans and supporters should have the louder voice
