Surely we should just respect the SFA/SPFL decision? After all, its their competition, their rules.

In the last few months, and this is off the top of my head, The Suits at Celtic are guilty of:

- failure to demand SPFL/SFA appropriately discipline Ibrox huns over the pitch invasion and throwing of missiles at Celtic players in the 1-5 game
- failure to demand appropriate retrospective action against the Aberdeen player who broke KT's jaw in the Cup final, and the officials who ignored it
- failure to stand up to UEFA over Linfield's inability to comply with the terms of the CL qualifier draw
- failure to allow Celtic fans the chance to support the team
- failure to condemn Linfield huns for the racist abuse of Celtic players
- failure to demand UEFA discipline Linfield huns over racist abuse of Celtic players
- failure to pressure UEFA to rescind Griffith's booking when he was protecting himself from missiles
- failure to instil confidence that they are seriously committed to pursuing justice over cheating huns & corrupt SFA
- failure to manage the fallout from the Linfield home game

I knocked this list up after reading about the PF's decision to wash it's hands of the Ajax scum who wreaked such havoc and caused so much harm to Celtic supporters. At the time, it occurred to many on here that the club ought to be demanding answers from Police Scotland as to why such a large mob of armed hooligans could be allowed to be at large, never mind evade it's police escort shortly before it approached the Gallowgate, and then get a clear 10 minutes to assault innocent victims. I don't recall any public record of Celtic even expressing concern that this could occur, never mind demanding an explanation.

This Board are not protecting our fans, not even protecting our players.

This board main concern is sanitising the Celtic support.

They are not interested in ruffling any feathers in any other direction. They want a Scottish version of Man U/City fans.
The Celtic support need to make their feelings known, either way....

Exactly

Celtic and PL were in on the LNS fix.

When you dont want to rock the boat and jepordise your million quid a year then the "staus quo" looks good.

Thats why nothing will happen.

The addressing of this issue relies wholly with the Celtic board.

Right now, the SFA/SPFL will do nothing because that's the pragmatic thing to do. This is the easy option. Taking titles away from Rangers will cause them far more grief than not taking the titles.

The only thing within Scottish football which has the clout to force the issue is the Celtic board. Will they do it? Of course not.

Board deciding not to sell TV rights to Norwegian TV totally screwing over RBK fans.

"Football without the fans is nothing"?

They'll tap into the history of the club when they pick and choose it seems. They're absolute hypocrites.

I am going to endow the Wailer Chair For Management Studies at Harvard Business School, because this is really the key question at the heart of the viability of any business: how much shampoo will your customers eat while still coming back to purchase your product?

Everyone has their own tipping point, but the Board is comprised of people smart enough to guess how far they can push things, and where they can let things slide, and still sell a ton of tickets to the largest potential customer base.

Pretty sure that statement wasn't a reference to people sat on their couch watching TV in Norway.

No problem at all with the club blocking TV coverage, presumably as the intention is to sell as many tickets to the game as possible.

This refusal to act from Celtic, the SFA and the SPFL could lead to armageddon this time.

Hope that chair is solid btw.
