    shut up about the boycott already, its arrogant and makes us look as bad as the huns, some clubs are bound to vote yes since they have to worry about their finances, they dont have the money we do and no rangers will hit them hard, personally I wont be that mad if rangers are let back in as long as they have heavy sanctions

    Last of my rant posts but are Celtic fans really going to let what happens to rangers dictate when they support their club. Absolute * joke if this happens..... We would playing right into their petty little hands. Which ours are starting to be appear to be. * sake.

    Seriously. It does. The shear level of arrogance it takes to dictate or pressurize clubs without the level of financial comfort we enjoy * astounds me.

    Ok - we shall just bend over and be happy knowing that other clubs will totally bypass moral codes just because they have no money.

    I'm a supporter, and I'll say who gets my money and who doesn't......regardless of who finds it "arrogant" or whatever other nonsense....

    it's nonsense to use the financial clout that our club enjoys to force another club into voting the way you want. That's exactly what the orcs are doing. I can't understand how you can't see that.

    Or are your moral codes conveniently absent when they suit you?

    Aye - some comparison that:bbpd:

    Is it in the rules that you can't abuse the system? Yes.

    Is it in the rules that I have to pay and attend games? No.

    Kilmarnock got more than enough cash from the league-winning game from us...infact, did it not get them a new pitch?

    Explain your statement about MY moral codes?

    Im all for you spending your money however you want, completely your prerogative but what you're talking about is threatening to withhold something from another club unless they do what you want.

    You're bigger so they should do what you want.......

    That goes against my moral code. It's called bullying.

    What does the size of the club have to do with anything? You do know that you don't have to be "bigger" than someone to be a bully...

    So, are people who go on strike i.e. unions etc. bullies for using boycotts and striking actions to get what they want?

    Should every club depend financially on the 2 bigger teams,of course not.They should run their club within their means and do the right thing and not let any newco clubs start off in the top division.It could be the making of some of them.

    No, they're not even remotely similar and if you can't see the difference you're never going to.

    We are the ones in the drivers seat. If we are forcing clubs to go our way then that puts us in the employer role, not the union.

    Really? When it comes to football the fans are the little people - if you can't see that then you're never going to :rolleyes:

    Does it really?

    And as to your previous comment about us being "the employers" - that is garbage.....it's the employers of these football clubs who are voting......
