  1. See the harm to the club last time we got fined for Palestine protest and keeping the cause in peoples heads? They then raised about 10 times the amount we got fined donated it and that got worldwide publicity and gained us a much higher reputation than any harm it brings.

    Pyro we have a weird thing with over here, condemn its use then verbally * about Dortmund’s yellow wall.

    I can mind seeing the Suns (probably them was on the table on the site canteen) European round-up wee insert thing have this picture

    The week before there was about 4 pages dedicated to us using a much smaller amount. As it is, its that common now at all grounds they largely ignore it and only make a noise against it if anys thrown on the pitch. SFA pick their battles.

    And GB have used it in the past but honestly I know the * that would do it at away game for years, and he’s defo not GB. Was him pished loving it and whoever asked for one out his bag standing near him, usually * he didn’t even know outwith the way you see same fans at away games :56:

    Actually asked him to stop it at the time, cos a thought we’d get stands closed and * due to all the * going around, got told * up ya shitebag, I couldn’t argue with that really.

    I think they were also technically smoke bombs instead of flares or actual pyrotechnics. End result on camera looks the same so it’ll always just be called pyro. Or one time from Andy Devlin in the papers - devices that release toxic smoke:56:

  3. Cockroacht was never away, was told by DD to lay low for a while after the 2020-21 disaster and brought back in when the heat was off. Nicholson was/is a stooger doing what Liewell tells him. Tell me that summer transfer window wasn't hallmark Liewell.

  4. Has anyone seen or heard anything from Nicholson since BRs press conference?

    * has disappeared off the face of the earth.

    Lawwell fully back in control. A puppet as a
    CEO for him to control and his incompetent * of a son as head of recruitment.

  5. Look at Nicholson's previous job - Company Secretary - thats admin, corporate governance stuff, he was really just a Stepford wife kind appointment, malleable, compliant, happy to follow instructions. DD tried out someone who was clearly his own man (that guy McKay), decided after a few weeks he didn't like it and defaulted back to what he knew (Liewell & co)

  6. I long for the day this * is out the door for ever with DD and someone interested in taking us forward football wise takes over..
     
  7. Thing I don't get is .......if the board are after the GB wouldn't they just stop them altogether by totally disbanding them in the ground? If it was their intent they could set about identifying all the people who have those seats and reallocating them to other fans. I think that there's too much of a symbiotic relationship there for them to really have that intent.

  10. * would steal the hole out of your last polo mint.
     
  11. No chance though. Only need to look at the time served by many on the board to see that Celtic is a cushy wee number for these * and no amount of incompetence will lead to them being removed.

    You're spot on, but sadly can't see it. The Liewells must know where DD buried the bodies....

  13. We all act like we know what the board are thinking/doing and what their motives are; but probably they are just doing their jobs: maximising shareholder value. I was absolutely sure they would stop the display last night; but I was totally wrong, they didn't. It seems plausible that they decided a sea of Palestinian flags at a time when several thousand Gazan civilians have been killed is probably not harmful for the business while pyro that might be deemed a breach of safety regulations and an ambiguous banner that could be interpreted by some as support for HAMAS on the day of their terror attack might well be.

    Maybe we don't have to complicate it more than that. We don't really know much about their own personal opinions on the GB (with the exception of Lawwell). The same board that was so fanatically against certain kinds of coordinated movement in the stands pioneered the introduction of safe standing in the UK; we don't have to agree with them (I don't) to take them at their word that it really was about Health and Safety for them rather than a vendetta.

  14. This needs to be the first question at the AGM. He came back acting like he had just popped on holiday for a year.

    Typical tory revisionism. Everyone know he stepped down in shame after his decades of penny pinching came back to haunt us.

    He really needs chased out of Parkhead. He's gonna * our whole squad again.
     
  15. I would love it to be. Can't stand him.
     
  16. I find it bizarre as a guy with an ego like his and his highly placed positions in European football that he'd be embarrassed how a team under his ownership is performing when he goes off to these uefa/FIFA meetings.
     
  17. Totally. I mentioned something similar on the match thread. Surely Lawwell and the rest of the board must get embarrassed in the company of other club's board members who run their club properly. They must know that they all rub their hands in glee when they are paired up with us when the draws are made and laugh like * behind their backs at their pre match buffets

  18. To him, they run it impeccably.

    Dividends to the shareholders is the only metric they use. You need a bit of domestic success to achieve that.

    Trust me, if we could get away with delivering a substantial profit without challenging for any trophies, it would already be happening.

  19. This is one I definitely got wrong.

    We were all celebrating the effectiveness of Nicholsen under Ange. Transfers done pronto, good signings etc etc.
    When Lawell came back I honestly thought, and said as much, that this was a "ceremonial" position. DD looking after his pet.

    It's obvious, to me at least, I was entirely wrong. Everything about this club reeks of his influence at the moment.
    As one poster said, Nicholsen has literally fell off the map since his return.
    And as another said , the last window had Lawells signature all * over it.

    Disgusted right now.

    Every * time we see to be moving forward as a club, Desmond and his gang if * scarecrows conspire to pull us back a couple of years.

    * scumbags , the lot of them.
