So you feel we should back off from taking the corrupt to task on this, on account of the cowardice of the chairmen of other clubs ? Do you know what the definition of character is? Doing the right thing when nobody's looking. We're doing the right thing.We have smart people at our club and among our support. We have right on our side, there is overwhelming evidence of malfeasance. We were cheated, we were lied to, we lost income, we lost prestige, we lost leagues and cups that we should have won, we lost good players, we lost access to the CL, we had to " know our place " when we were ridiculed by Sir  tenners for fivers, and by those excuses for journalists still churning out their Sevco PR We were told we were paranoid, our kids came home devastated at coming so close, but ultimately losing to a financially doped, hubristic shower of cheats. Oh and just to crown it all, once the cheats were rumbled, those tasked with implementing the rules, ignored and bent the rules to facilitate the cheats, to more or less carry on as normal, even to the extent of declaring them the same club. Yeah, let's back off because it's going to be difficult. Eff that.
Well said lady. Thanks

"Apart from one [club] I haven't had a single phone call, email or letter on this subject,": Stewart Regan quoted here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/scotland/41228081
Think this needs to be remedied, but also think it would need an organised and concerted campaign to have any effect.
Anyone aware of any plans afoot to encourage fans to pressure the SFA directly?

All this talk of boycotts, threats to other clubs, non cooperation etc etc is all a bit hunesque if you ask me.
Carry on as normal and let our legal team deal with it and see what happens - there is a pile of shampoo about to be brought out here and the SFA acting outraged and appealing to everyone to move on isn't going to change eff all. Totally agree. Let the legal team go about their business while we go about ours on the pitch. This will be a slow burner and all the SFA can do is shout and bawl. It won't change anything. They're in a corner and they know it.
Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.

Anyone aware of any plans afoot to encourage fans to pressure the SFA directly? How many of the clubs the SFA represent, I think he mentioned 108 last night, phoned, emailed or wrote a letter, before he signed the 5 way agreement on behalf of the SFA?

Anyone old enough to remember the vituperation visited on Fergus and Celtic when it became clear he was going all in on the Cadete affair will recognise what is happening here. We have always been short of friends when facing up to injustice. But we always win, and we will win this one. Indeed, we already have. Regan and the clubs which have backed him against a review of the utter clusterfeck that is Scottish football governance already look ridiculous. No one with a three-digit IQ can possibly argue that moving on from unraked coals will resolve all that ails Scottish football. The SPFL has called for an independent review, FFS! Heads will roll, new clubs will be recognised as such, trophies will be stripped -- maybe not today or tomorrow but inevitably -- and Regan, Bryson and LNS will be joined by Petrie and Milne, probably Budge too, in the bad joke repository that already contains George Graham, Jim Farry and Harry Swan. Doing what is right always wins out in the end. And that is what we will do. hell yeah !!!!!

No need to apologise and no one else is behind what I post. I haven't explained myself too well but it really doesn't take the sharpest! Would we win on our own? Would we weaken ourselves in the process?
So you feel we should back off from taking the corrupt to task on this, on account of the cowardice of the chairmen of other clubs ? Do you know what the definition of character is? Doing the right thing when nobody's looking. We're doing the right thing.We have smart people at our club and among our support.

Outstanding. Sometimes when I think back to some of those games against them we narrowly lost I actually taste the disappointment, an actual physical sensation . There can be no giving this up. to think we had to compete against players that just shouldn't have been there and on many occasions matched them only .............. for the men in black/red/blue/yellow to intervene and ...... well that's my paranoia back . never give up celtic we will prevail !!

Outstanding. Sometimes when I think back to some of those games against them we narrowly lost I actually taste the disappointment, an actual physical sensation . There can be no giving this up. It was the tears and devastation of my bhoy during those years that was the worst thing for me. They ruined what should have been happy childhood memories for all our bhoys and ghirls.
I also felt for the players, and still do now. They were deprived of honours which were rightfully theirs. I wish someone would ask them what they think when Mols is claiming he'd have played for petrol money and when the rest of the EBT brigade are giving their opinions on " won on the pitch " How any of our former players can spout the party line about moving on is beyond me. I wonder how Davie Provan would feel if it were he who'd been cheated after he'd slogged his guts out and given his all.
It's well seen Tom Boyd never gets a gig on the radio, he never misses a chance to " get them telt " Great Celt, great Celtic captain and great guy. I wish more of our former players would take this stance.
Right, enough from me, I'm away to look at shoes. 👠

I dont care if we have to go it alone, hell it may even get us out of the shampoo hole that is Scottish football. Im not surprised that Hibs and Aberdeen have came out and admitted that they want no part in it, but the thought that not one other club will come forward worries me. Then again, as long as we pursue it to the best of our clubs abilities then I'm happy.

Then again, as long as we pursue it to the best of our clubs abilities then I'm happy. I wouldn't be too worried about any club supporting us. The allies we need are the fans of other clubs. I have said before that all our bloggers, fan sites, supporters clubs and associations with some of our legendry players, such as the great Tom Boyd, need to sit down and prepare our strategy and find areas of common ground from simple things like not buying Scotland merchandise or programmes at Scotland games and then progress it to possibly include no loans, press ban and all out boycott of all grounds and SFA sponsors. I am not, for now and with a bit of reflection, in favour of the more extreme measures, but I can be talked into it. By the way to those saying a boycott is a hun thing, you really need to do a bit of research. For my family it is very much part of our DNA.

Anyone old enough to remember the vituperation visited on Fergus and Celtic when it became clear he was going all in on the Cadete affair will recognise what is happening here. We have always been short of friends when facing up to injustice. But we always win, and we will win this one. Indeed, we already have. Regan and the clubs which have backed him against a review of the utter clusterfeck that is Scottish football governance already look ridiculous. No one with a three-digit IQ can possibly argue that moving on from unraked coals will resolve all that ails Scottish football. The SPFL has called for an independent review, FFS! Heads will roll, new clubs will be recognised as such, trophies will be stripped -- maybe not today or tomorrow but inevitably -- and Regan, Bryson and LNS will be joined by Petrie and Milne, probably Budge too, in the bad joke repository that already contains George Graham, Jim Farry and Harry Swan. Doing what is right always wins out in the end. And that is what we will do.  hell yeah !!!!! veteransacktheboarder cfc Well said Torq. Celtic are strong enough, with our without the support of others.
