At this point, given that Celtic benefit financially from these people, I can only conclude that they don't want to. Celtic fans, what are you doing as a club and as a fanbase to prevent this? A more pertinent question is why on earth would any adult who condemns bigotry support Glasgow Rangers or Glasgow Celtic ? The vile idiotic element don't attach themselves to these clubs by accident. Their support has been encouraged at Ibrox and Parkhead as a business model for over a century. Rangers & Celtic have neither the will or the wisdom to rid themselves of the stain of bigotry. It's up to those who despise that bigotry to rid themselves of Rangers & Celtic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't you better than that? I certainly couldn't sit in amongst that shite weekly and feel I was part a a special support. Part of going to games and supporting a football club is the camaraderie you get with fellow supporters and enjoy the good times and suffer the shite. I don't understand a non-bigot old firm fan just sitting there listening to that and actually enjoying themselves.

Lets be honest your both more than happy to be big fishes in a small pond. Now we are getting to the crux of it. For a while the domestic set-up suited this pair of parasites down to the ground. First and second guaranteed every season and a media deal which paid out massively top heavy towards positions 1 and 2. Not a huge amount of money still, not to them anyway. Then a big gap to third and everyone else much of a muchness. The poor financial rewards for everyone else keeps them slitting each others throats season after season and nobody really able to pull away within that ten. It was all about the Champions League money and a twenty to thirty million windfall from the group stages. Money that had another club been able to snatch, would have opened up a three horse race. Now the financials in England have increased so much, even thirty million each season is not enough to compete with the big boys. This might actually prompt some kind of change now because the cosy little system is no longer enough for them. I expect some more squealing about an Atlantic League soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Don’t think the IRA stuff is a relevant or helpful retort to the pitch shite. The real question for Celtic is if they are so concerned about driving standards in Scottish football as a whole, then what do they propose they do to allow all clubs to invest in the appropriate infrastructure so they can pay for and maintain a grass pitch whilst putting a competitive first team out on the pitch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the radio pre match saying he doesn’t like it, it takes away the quality of a game and it’s not fair on the paying fans. I haven’t heard him talk about it post match. There’s also been multiple reports of plans to have them banned in the top flight, which if true you can probably guess where it’s being driven from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_K_97 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Well, this thread didn't become mind-numbingly tedious at all... A brilliant win for the stripes, and in a very pleasing manner. I don't think I've ever seen a Killie team be as poor in the first stages of a game and then come back to not only win, but totally dominate the proceedings. As soon as we equalised there was only going to be one winner and if we had scored a couple more goals it wouldn't have been surprising. In the second half every single player in blue and white was brilliant, and while Armstrong deservedly got MOTM you could have given it to Kennedy, Lyons, Deas or Findlay to name but a few. A very good week with a very unexpected 6 points out of a possible 6 has stopped the rot and put us back in a good position after we had started to slip back down the table. As others have said, the inconsistency and away form have meant that McInnes hasn't been able to win over all of the support, but big results like that will put a hell of a lot of credit in his account. There have been times where I've been scunnered with him, such as the defeat to Inverness in the cup, but on the whole he has achieved all his objectives (get promoted and stay up, with the addition of the League Cup run). I hope that this really is the start of a consistent run where we can finish strongly before the break and then come back strongly in January in the cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more that we just point and laugh when an Old Firm fan hyperventilates about artificial pitches when their big shiny expensive team loses on one to a diddy. Thistle lost 4-3 on Friday night against Raith. The pitch looked a bit odd on TV but it was a brilliant game of football which entertained everyone who watched it. From memory there were a few comments on the match thread about the pitch (from fans of various teams) but I don't remember many/any folk tearfully calling for a national ban.

I haven't seen the pitch at Starks so I can't really comment on it. I mentioned the other day about Falkirks pitch looking decent and it didn't seem to affect the play in their game against Dundee United. The two premiership artificial pitches are terrible though and even Kilmarnock's current manager has previously slated them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not aimed at any Celtic, or indeed Rangers fans in particular, it’s just an opinion. Very obvious and entirely correct. People get very upset when you point it out though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
