There was no 'parachuting' involved from what I understand. They were an entirely new club which was inserted into the lower league - without having the requisite three years of accounts and in front of other, established, clubs which did. Parachuting infers that they were demoted. They weren't - they died. |

The Strip the Titles people are putting their weight behind the SFSA. Not sure that's a great tactic. |

How did a new club manage to leapfrog straight into the professional league system without being 'parachuted'?

According to the SFSA's website their board is made up by politicians (i.e. professional BS merchants with lots of establishment ties) and include one "3rd Generation Rangers" supporter (yes I thought that club died too). Call me a cynic but I have no faith in an organization with folk like that at the top who are required to overthrow the old boys network and to make some painful and potentially unpopular decisions to bring about change and justice. I'll put my faith and money into funding independent legal action with a clear objectives of ridding corruption in the game and stripping titles. |

It's a Morningside coffee morning group. Feck that. Conflating overall Scottish football governance with this absolute scandal is in no way acceptable. If Celtic need to go it alone over this, so be it. |

Agreed I will be more than happy to set up a direct debit for as long as this takes if it is the only way to get a resolution, they cheated and everyone knows they did the rest is smoke and mirrors. |

I know a lad who is heavily involved so I think that's a bit harsh.

The same SFSA set up by the guy who used to run Supporters Direct Scotland? The same SFSA funded by the SFA to be the voice of the fan? Hmmm... |

Previous people in charge of Celtic have had their faults and they've been laid bare over the years, but I don't know if they'd have sucked this up with nothing more than an ambiguous statement or two in response. |

Celtic are responsible for Celtic fans. That's the top and tail of it. If we're on out own on this, so what? Plenty of fans of other clubs know what it's about even if their scheidtbag owners and chairmen don't. If our own custodians don't act then they go down in Celtic history for all the wrong reasons. |

Do you think DD is the person who has to decide where we go with this and is there a possibility he might not want to get involved given the questions being asked about his own separate business practices? |

I don't know tbh. I'd hope not. Been out since this afternoon so probably best I don't speculate on any billionaire's business practices.

Ever heard of the saying plan long, act short? After any JR (if it happens) has done its job and disappeared, what will it take to give supporters an input into the many other issues that bedevil the game? One of the reasons supporters are ignored is that there is no capacity or platform on which they can legitimately stand. The SFSA, who are independent of the SFA and, unlike the Supporters Direct are not funded by the SFA, are the best bet for introducing that capacity and they have a plan for doing it. They are as much in favour as any other supporters for regime change but, having to appeal to supporters of all clubs, have to be seen to be more even handed in their approach. A true story on planning long and acting short. An Engineer was called in by the RAF to advise pilots where to place their bombs in bringing down bridges in Bosnia. He pointed out the best supporting structures to hit not just for maximum effect in closing the bridge but also where rebuilding the supports would be easiest after the war was over. The engineer planned long, the pilots acted short but they worked together. |
