Celtic banter 2

Av noticed David de Gea still hasn't got a club, does he carry an injury or price himself out of a move somewhere. mb worth at least an enquiry 🤷🏽‍♂️.

The most over priced, overpaid, overrated goal keeper of all time.

24 Apr 2024 09:29:07
Well, he is 3 years younger than Hart so, if he is interested, might do us a turn.
Bit overrated sometimes but not a bad goalkeeper.
Worth a shot?

In the midst of the beautiful game's most thrilling moments, the integrity of football is put to the test by the decisions of those entrusted with upholding fairness and justice on the field: the referees. Yet, in Scotland, this fundamental pillar of the sport is crumbling under the weight of incompetence and suspicion.

For far too long, Scottish football has been plagued by the specter of dodgy referees whose decisions not only mar the game but also raise serious questions about bias and even corruption. It's a scenario that has left fans disillusioned, players frustrated, and the credibility of the sport tarnished.

Despite widespread outcry, the Scottish Football Association (SFA) has shown a reluctance to address this pressing issue effectively. The status quo persists, leaving fans and stakeholders alike feeling powerless and disheartened. But all hope is not lost.

Enter UEFA, the governing body of European football, with the power and responsibility to ensure the integrity of the game across the continent. While UEFA may be hesitant to intervene in the internal affairs of national associations, the time has come for them to take decisive action to restore faith in Scottish football.

A proposed solution lies in the implementation of a rigorous assessment system overseen by UEFA, whereby referees' performances are evaluated both on the field and through the lens of VAR technology. Referees would be held accountable for their decisions, with only those meeting the highest standards of fairness and accuracy being permitted to officiate in European competitions.

This system would serve as a powerful incentive for referees to uphold the principles of integrity and impartiality, knowing that their future opportunities in the sport hinge upon their ability to make correct and just decisions. It would weed out the incompetent and the biased, ensuring that only the best and most deserving officials are entrusted with the responsibility of officiating at the highest level of the game.

By implementing such a system, UEFA can send a clear message that incompetence and bias have no place in football, regardless of national borders. It would demonstrate a commitment to upholding the integrity of the sport and safeguarding its future for generations to come.

To the fans who have endured countless injustices on the field, to the players who have suffered the consequences of dubious decisions, and to the integrity of football itself, the time for action is now. UEFA must heed the call and intervene to rid Scottish football of its referee crisis once and for all. Only then can the beautiful game truly flourish.

Uefa are as bent as a bottle of crisps.

23 Apr 2024 21:49:18
I wouldn’t be surprised if Celtic made a complaint to UEFA, no matter how clear cut complaint was, Celtic would finish up punished. The Masons and Orange Order members would conspire to rule Scottish Football Association fair and right .
We know what it’s like in the Demi-Province to bang your head against a stone wall to try to get fairness.

Just this week they have decided that even though all ranks of Brit’s Army told lies (yes perjured themselves) in Bloody Sunday Enquiry, they wouldn’t be prosecuted. Their perjuring cost Brit Gov £191 m, if truth had been told cost has been estimated short of £20m
This shows authorities can rule as they want.

A Spectre is haunting Western Scotland . . . lol.

Nice, Weejoe.

23 Apr 2024 14:18:38
Regardless of all that we supporters say Celtic will not come out and question any decision made with regards to officials in charge of our games. Even the SMSM who can see the same collusion that we can write nothing or call us paranoid we'll with no official at uero 24 obviously Uefa can see that they are all sub standard. My money is on Sevco financially unstable and the establishment hoping to clear their debt. Or someone has£20 quid on sevco doing the treble.

23 Apr 2024 15:03:38
I agree, and when they saw the injury and recruitment problems we had since the start of the season, they fancied their chances.
This would have been boosted by our inconsistency in the first half of the season and some very controversial intervention at Tynecastle and Ibrox to guide the points away from Celtic.
Add to that the amount of crucial penalties awarded to Sevco and the rotation of a small band of selected officials hand picked to try and influence games and you can see a pattern of manipulation.

23 Apr 2024 13:53:19
. No Scottish Referee's at Euro 2024 as it clashes with marching season.

23 Apr 2024 14:30:03
UEFA were concerned that even if they were on VAR they would still try to award a penalty to the rangers. 🤣🤣🤣

Sad indictment of Scottish referees, even with twice the number of officials required SFA has NONE not 1 official involved. Enough said.

23 Apr 2024 15:30:24
I just seen we also have none at the Olympics. The Solomon island's have an offical picked! SFA and Crawford Alan in hiding.

23 Apr 2024 16:32:18
Just shows everyone what Eufa think of the standard of the officials in Scotland.

23 Apr 2024 12:29:34
The SFA are being serious in the run in Cheating as ref and baby Dallas on Var for the Dundee game how predictable.

23 Apr 2024 13:13:00
Yet WC hasn't had a league game since that mobs complaint.

23 Apr 2024 20:05:46
With Celtic once again playing after Sevco, appointing notoriously biased 'officials' sends out a clear message of intent.

23 Apr 2024 12:25:42
If celtic can NOT see what the rest of us can and do nothing about it well he'll mend them. Time to take them to task don't do it privately do it publicly , grandstanding works for them about time we went public still no collum at greyskull yet we get Beaton, Robertson and Dallas rammed down our throat, time to grow a pair celtic or are you waiting on the supporters doing for you.

23 Apr 2024 13:03:15
I've said several times before it's tantamount to attempted match fixing and why Celtic have accepted this cheating is incredible.

23 Apr 2024 14:28:24
Drews163. If both the Board and our supporters worked together to highlight the anti Celtic pro Sevco bias, I think we would be able to mount a far stronger case
Surely both supporters and Board should work together to foil what
Onceabhoy4 correctly claims amounts to match fixing .
This is far too important to try to point score or leave to someone else.

23 Apr 2024 14:31:55
Even UEFA knows, no refs involved at all in Euros even though this tournament requires more due to VAR.

23 Apr 2024 16:35:19
Wee Des
The problem with your statement unfortunately is that you mentioned The Board, until there is a total overhaul at boardroom level there won't be anything done as the current board just accepted everything that the SFA throw at us.

24 Apr 2024 12:38:36
Jonbhoy, At this point in time we have the Board . This Board has evolved over the last 20 yrs or so . The Board are not going away and certainly until us supporters are able to put together a credible alternative, we are going to be stuck with them . No amount of dissatisfaction with Board by us supporters will achieve anything, until we have alternative finance ready to move in .
We haven’t even a notion of level of hatred and wanting rid of the Board exists amongst the 60 to 80k that frequently attends our games either every home game or 6 - 10 games a season.

Feelgood day yesterday.
In Glasgow waiting for a bus on Sunday, so went for a wee wander.
Down by Wellington Lane I saw what looked like a card holder on ground.
Picked it up and seen it was full of cards (bank, licence etc.
It also had 2 Celtic season ticket passes.
Called Parkhead, left a contact detail, and, long story short, they got the owner who came by my house and collected his property.
A very relieved, grateful and happy chappie went on his way.

23 Apr 2024 11:40:41
Brilliant TinyTim, good guy. 👍🍀.

23 Apr 2024 12:06:40
What would you have done if it was Sevco ST 🤔😂.

23 Apr 2024 12:35:14
Wiped his number two's with them.

23 Apr 2024 22:45:46
Troy, tbh, the same thing.
I have my standards.

23 Apr 2024 07:38:46
I saw Dermot Desmond was photographed in an Irish pub in Italy watching the semi final on Saturday.

Hopefully he is taking an active role in our recruitment and was over trying to get us some Italian maestros for next season
👍.

23 Apr 2024 08:36:47
I have honestly no idea what he does regarding Celtic - apart from appointing certain managers.

23 Apr 2024 08:53:37
As long as he hasn't done any of the scouting himself.

22 Apr 2024 19:04:24
Thats as bad as av seen our back 4 on Saturday hopefully that's it out the road and we kick on. its Been a funny old season with not much consistency.

22 Apr 2024 19:55:31
Celtic have only won 6 league games in a row this season and that was back in September and October, just before the Board banned our own fans.
Celtic can only equal that amount if we win our last 5 league matches.

The Green Brigade and our other Ultras have now been back for our last 19 matches and Celtic have only lost ONCE to Hearts at Tynecastle in that period.

Maybe it was only a coincidence, that Celtic lost 10 points in 10 league games without Our Ultras present.

22 Apr 2024 20:36:16
It was no coincidence. They were sorely missed. 🇮🇪🍀.

23 Apr 2024 08:45:14
It certainly was a factor, but to be honest far too many of the players have either been injured or have played below their best and we rarely keep clean sheets or 'blow teams away' like in the previous seasons. The poor recruitment and cover in key areas has also obviously affected our consistency. We will need a big improvement on Saturday for sure, to finish the season successfully.

23 Apr 2024 14:37:05
Onceabhoy 4 The biggest minority Shareholder should not necessarily be seen to do anything because the facts are he hasn’t the power to do anything . We can blame him when he does wrong, unlikely as it may seem we can praise him when he does right . But remember although he owns more shares than anyone else, he still has to have Board approval before he does anything .
He wanted to prevent Ange leading team out before Cup Final in May but the rest of the Board stopped him .
He is most powerful man in Celtic, but doesn’t always get his way .

22 Apr 2024 18:01:06
5 years ago today we said farewell to Celtic Football Club's greatest ever captain, Billy McNeil.

A one club man, his achievements and accolades cemented his place in Celtic's rich history as both a player and as a manager.

The pinnacle being that he was the first British player to lift the European Cup along with his fellow Lisbon lions in 1967.

Hail Cesar 🙏

I'm getting old, I would have sworn it was only 1 or 2 years since Caesar's passing.
