John Reid For or against

So he invited a Loyalist MP to CP. Why was that? To show that we are the bigger club who dont have a problem with anyone form anyside of the religious divide. The MP now looks like a * for knocking it back. Think JR comes out looking on top in that one.

The Sexual abuse. Read a few things, as far as I can see he pestered some females about wanting to pump them. He also admired a few arses and thought he would get laid by telling them. Big Deal. If you are a bloke you have pesered some chick for some action. You have also peered over some bird more than you really should have. Get a life my friend.

On the war, ho do you know that he wasnt against it behind closed doors. I have heard people saying that on a few different tv shows. Obvisouly I dont know if that is true. But if you have ever sung an Pro-IRA song then you cant really have a thing against him for the war in Iraq.

 

HEAR HEAR

 

Well said.

For the OP. I posted for. I dont have an issue with Mr Reid. I also went to school with his son Mark. He was a good friend.

HAIL HAIL

 

dont care either way with him. My issue with him is he was a career politician and happily moved to the right with the rest of Labour. Am not bothered about the foreign policy issues.

 

Again (so far) the poll shows the loud ranting against Reid is nowhere near the majority you would sometimes think. I love these polls.

 

i went for against simply coz i dnt like the man for different reasons

he isnt really important tho the main man for me is Peter Lawell this man has worked wonders at Celtic

 

Its a bit unrealistic to start a thread like this, and then to say "Lets not start a political debate", it smacks of * stirring to me.

But if you want non-political reasons why I'm personally against Reid, its because he has no business experience of any kind whatsoever, the man is a School teacher-turned-politician. Hardly the man that should be running one of the Worlds best known and best loved Sporting Institutions.

I'll happily listen to anyone though that can tell me what qualities he brings to Celtic Park, and how those qualities will guide Celtic through to the next level that we want to acheive.

 

He seems to have Celtic at heart and carrying out the club's best interests. As far as I'm concerned, in a chairman's capacity that is all that matters.

Not the biggest fan of his politics but that's a whole different thing all together.

 

I personaly can not, will not support a man who activly participaed in & sanctioned an illegal war. which has resulted in civilian deaths on an unprecedented scale, as well as some of the most despicable human rights abuses the country has seen. Who as Home Secretary was ultimately responsible for some of the worst infringments on domestic Civil Liberties in over a hundred years. A man who has demonstrated a willingness to lie & decieve the citizens of the country he purported to serve. This man was a senior cabiet minister in a government that elevated cynical manipulation of the facts, duplicity & mendacity to the leval of art-form."Toeing the party line" is no defence, as was established in Neurenberg in 1946.

Err, so that's a NO!

 

That's really an awful lot of hyperbole, strawmans, and nonsense. I suppose if you think a foolish war is foolish, you must think all wars are foolish? Brilliant logic there.
And as Martin more or less points out -- there was no terrorist connection to Iraq prior to invasion.


I'm skeptical having a politician officially associated to the club. Celtic have this line of wanting to keep politics separate from football, and I'm fine with that... but then you have Reid. Seems rather counter-intuitive to me.

 

If we did not have him it woukd be some other F####r that half of us won't like.

 

Couldnt care less!

I do respect peoples views as to why they dislike him and dont want him in charge though, hes had a questionable past.

 

again, a surprisingly even split. I voted for him. I actually dont like him but I think its misplaced to judge him on his political life in his new football role. These polls are really interesting. There should be a section where all the poll results are kept together so we can check everytimes someone says 'EVERYONE hates this or that'.

 

Dunno much about his political life but if Dermot Desmond rates him, thats good enough for me

 

for

 

also pretty certain he is no longer a politician

 

against

 

i clicked for but meant to click against lol

 

couldnt really give a * tbh........but i voted for him,he is at he club so lets just get behind him
