    How are we ever supposed to win trophies with a corrupt place like the SFA? If we lose fair and square fine, we have to take it, but losing unfairly is just not on!

    FIFA's about as corrupt as the SFA to be honest.

    do what santos used to do and play the top teams in the world selling the tv rights which will also promote the club even more or would you rather sit in this league and be cheated and treated like inferior people every week by a bunch of corrupt rats

    Most decent teams are to busy with league and European games to consider friendlies on a basis anywhere near often enough. Oh and Santos are a bad example as there league runs at a completely different time from ours.

    ATM, Celtic are trapped in a catch-22 situation.

    Ideally, we should be party to the establishment of an newly-formed league, such as the oft-mentioned 'Atlantlc' League. However, until such time as such a proposition looks closer to becoming more than just a speculative exercise, the reality is that Celtic needs Scottish Football, as much as Scottish Football needs Celtic.

    mate that is just an example of what we could do maybe not great but better than being cheated besides it wouldnt take sky long to sort the sfa out they already did it with the league being reformed saying they would only give them a contract if celtic and rangers played each other 4 times and what do you no they will only reform the league in a way where the old firm play 4 times a season. with out celtic sky would tell them to get two * because at the end of the day the old firm make this league investable without us its nothing

    celtic should apply for the lower leagues in england i think much of the opposition to us changing leagues was that we would place ourselves above a lot of clubs down there,which i thought was wrong ,but if we entered at the very bottom i cant imagine there being much objection with the fact that our support could fill lots of their stadiums,and from there work our way up through the leagues a huge risk i know but one worth taking in light of years and years of dodgy decisions

    My point exactly. Joining the English lower leagues would be of no use to us since they are based on a pyramid structure which is designed locally. Since we are not in any of the National League geographical regions we cannot join any of their leagues to thereby gain entry to the Football League. Even if we were somehow allowed to join one of these low level leagues we would still have umpteen promotions to go through to become a Premier League club.

    Do you think that 60,000 fans will turn up to watch us play a home game against Ponteland United in the Northern Football Alliance League?

    The way to get change, as always, is to follow the money.

    We need to inform UEFA that we are withdrawing from the SPL beacuse we believe blatant sectarianism exists and that we only will come back if and when non-scottish refs are used.

    Without Celtic fans most of the SPL teams will go to the wall within a season as the banks will threaten and force bankruptcy if they see a reduced cash flow.

    We would need to follow thru by withdrawing our team and setting up a new league and football hierarchy

    I predict that within just a few weeks the other clubs (including Rangers) will leave the SPL and the SFA and join the new league. Their other choice will be to close their doors.

    This is a radical step but the time has surely come. Lets create this doomsday scenario. The other alternative is that we just shut up and live with the injustice. If we do that it will be our fault.

    Boycotting away games is our best bet.
