If I was there I suspect I would just miss the start - the last thing we need is to hand the media, with their agenda, our heads on a silver salver to quote someone else (whatever a salver is???)

Quiet and dignified is the way forward.

If Reid wasn't involved I suspect that Celtic would feel they had been painted into a corner, however, given his involvement I wouldn't put it past him to have made the suggestion in the first place.

just a wee bit for anyone heading up to the match, the ground will be leafleted by TAL before the game.

please take a leaflet.

there will be a walk-out protest led by the green brigade, and we are being encouraged to follow it or protest in our own way, by turning your back, holding up the leaflet or missing the start.

i'm undecided what i'll do yet.

At last, a bit of integrity. I'll have the utmost respect for anyone who would walk out of a game on a matter of principal. I don't give a flying feck what the scottish meedja make of this, all the arse -licking of the past 10 or so years has (predictably) been a fultile exercise. When are people going to wake up to the fact that we'll never be accepted in Scotland? We should be true to ourselves.

I can see it now. We, the fans, are painted into a corner about this whole thing and it will be us that is blamed for the protest when it happens in the media.

I honestly don't know what Reid is thinking. The buck stops with him here. Whether he instigated it or not, he certainly agreed to it. Is he really that deluded that he thinks there will be no reaction? Is he of the opinion that the media will overlook any reaction? I think in all probability he is probably banking on the "reputation" angle and the keeping up of the "good name" of Celtic fans thing. Now we will see just how many supporters are sheep in these matters and who go along with it despite disagreeing. For those who want to celebrate it, fair enough, at least they can say they believe in these things, and the support is big enough to handle diversity.

Easier to have just issued a dignified "supporters can remember this in any way they like" statement and just let it be. He and the board have acted in such a divisive manner in this case and it is them who need to look at what they are doing for the reputation of the club.

It is the whole "look at me, what a good establishment man I am" thing that gets me. The club would never have been here if that type of thinking had taken place in 1887. Rats like this in charge? Gets worse every time you look at it. :banghead:

Thanks for posting those. Point properly made I think. :thumbs.up:

As for the media's response, very much as predicted.

Who has dragged Celtic's name through the mud? The people who agreed to take us down this stupid course. Utter morons to a man. How could they not see this series of events taking place? Surely they cannot be this stupid.

Maybe they did it on purpose. :shrug:

Maybe for all those who think this board actually has the best interests of Celtic in mind (and don't carry some some self serving/self aggrandising/money grabbing/returning political favours (delete as appropriate) intention) will now have to make a decision about this. The actions are therefore as political as they get and divisive in nature, much of what you would expect from the career politician and spineless bully who we have at the helm at the moment.

Not interested in the slightest where someone's heart lies, and if they are a fan or whatever, only interested in what they do about it. That pillock who ran onto the park and slapped Dida last season was a Celtic fan as well I am sure. I am sure he loved the club more than many. What he did was both harmful and moronic, damaging the reputation of the club, and he is joined by the current board who have set into motion a series of events that will similarly lead to problems. Public relations? Don't make me laugh, these type of things are more out of the Ipox book of PR than anything else.

Action is everything, and these actions are harmful, simple as that.

Thought you had no idea about what KDS is? :rolleyes:

Everyone of the folk on that thread on KDS are entitled to their opinion. However, 99% of them are kants for their Uncle Tim bullshit.

Used to really enjoy reading KDS, and never bought into the criticism that was levelled at them. However, I cannae read it for more than 5 minutes at a time these days.

They have some fantastic posters, but by Christ they don't represent me as a Celtic fan and indeed most Celtic fans I am sure.
