The Final Straw!

The Final Straw! ( or How I learned to love hating the SPL Board) by Estadio

The farce gets farcier by the day. Ridicule becomes a norm by which the mandarins in the SPL seem to live their lives. From our own standpoint (the Celtic fans) we have to ask if Peter Lawwell or any other board members have a clue about the real lives of the sad, devoted, lovestruck heartbroken, pathetic unrequited devotees who actually follow the club to the point of serious damage to our personalities, pockets and psyches?

Platitudes are no longer enough; being dragged kicking and squealing to a microphone to utter some keech meaningless drivel that the Peter and Dermot show believe will keep us in our places, forelock tugging and bended of knee.

I couldn’t give a flying fuck at the moment for the faeces that is putrefying the shitey lands round Edmiston drive…..they are screwed and every day tightens that screw into the sarcophagus.

It is the wider world of Scottish football and the disgusting contempt with which we (and fans of other clubs) are totally ignored.

If you didn’t think new faces, new thinking and new relationships in the game…(Those who pay and those who play), then the crap and the way they deposited it on our doorstep via the BBC, surely has to be the tipping point that screams……”no fuckin more “.

I would run every one of these bastards out of the country and into the ocean….I wouldn’t even give them a lifebelt.

I am NOT happy.

This is what has got my gander up.

“The amount of money distributed to member clubs in Scotland’s top league fell by £1.6m, a drop of about 9% on the 2010-11 season.

The SPL’s directors said: “The tough economic climate within which the company (SPL) has operated in recent years looks likely to continue for some time.

“This is exacerbated by the absence of….” you know who FC “….from the league competition for several seasons ahead………”

“The latest SPL accounts show directors pay and benefits increased by 16.5%, despite a 6% fall in revenues.

…….Pay and benefits for the SPL’s board of directors, which is approved by the member clubs, increased to £200,000.”

If that is not a cause for storming the citadel and kicking every well fed and fat padded arse in sight then I don’t know what is.

When are we going to repossess this game….it is ours not the plaything of the bunch of fancy suited failures who have allowed it to become an underachieving laughing stock. Two UEFA cup finals from two of the richest clubs in Europe in over 25 years, last qualified for a major international finals in 1998, a merry-go-round of has been managers and never will be coaches that would do credit to disneyland carnival of animal crackers, and a vision rivalled only by the scurrying troglodytes and of a  of eyeless and brainless extremeophiles scurrying in sulphuric acid spouting fissures somewhere in the doom laden denizens at the bottom of Chernobyl’s polluted crater.

SEND THEM PACKING NOW……fuck it….just broke my keyboard……shite!

Hail Hail

Can I just say that I rarely swear and normally proof read!

Apologies for the temper and scatter gun language. But I was very very annoyed.

Loved it; they see themselves as the indespensible BWankers, you know, those with foresight, ingenuity & Money making credentials & of course money taking. Our game teeters on the brink yet the Fat Cat Suited Footballing hirearchy just shuffle the decks..

Our best bet is to get away from this God-forsaken League, who knows maybe Englandshire’s bankrupt league may need some rub of the green sometime soon.

Lastly Lastly, It’s common nowadays to label anyone blogging about this issue as a ‘Rangers Hater’ or ‘Obsessed’. I can assure the reader that I am neither. I am simply a football fan who wishes to understand the rules, and one who would like to be certain those same rules will be applied without fear or favour before I continue to invest – both emotionally and financially – in the game I love. As a Celtic supporter I welcome the day that a team playing in blue from Govan can challenge us again…just as long as it’s on a level playing field.

How do we oust them? Are the club CEO’s working on this now or is it being left up to us the fans? It would be nice to think the former are leading the charge but for now I doubt it. I have been in the doldrums for the past 5 days, the LNS conclusion is beyond belief and yet clearly we are expected to believe. Neither am I gullible nor a fool but Hampden expect me to swallow their hogwash.
I want every office holder at Hampden sacked. Now. Everything else proceeds as what passes for normal until such times as new office bearers are in place. Once again, how do we go about it,any ideas?

These suits have no shame, the contempt they hold for the decent honest people of this country is disgusting. Enough is enough. Satan’s little helpers, helping Satan’s favorite club.

We need a Scottish Football Supporters Union.
That would be a start!

Agree with you about the rewards for Board members. They should have fixed salaries and pre-agreed incentive rewards. Mind you, I’d apply that to more than football Boards

Disagree with the minutiae of mentioning Uefa finals only. There were 3 last 16 appearances in the CL which, given the names of clubs making UEFA finals (Fulham, Middlesboro, Espanyol, Alaves) the achievement may not be as prestigious as it was enjoyable.

The only way to remove these guys is to stop attending away matches and never to buy a ticket for hampden again. I am sorry to say but any Celtic supporter that does continue to fund the ever increasing sectarian army is an utter fool. The fans must also unite to remove Lawwell and Desmond as they have now blatantly demonstrated that they are not in the slightest bit interested in trophies, purely cash.
I plead with every Celtic fan to not turn into Zombies like the other mob by continuing to folo folo when they should be walking away with dignity and pride.

Stevie, I know what you mean but at the same time cash means continuity. I don’t go to away games, finance and logistics are contributing factors. Staying away from cup semis and finals would be hard, its great to see a cup lifted. I want to be able to support Celtic with a respected governing body in place.

Celtic has been a major part of life for around 65 years but we all need to stand up for our roots and origins. Heaven(?) forbid that Celtic and Scottish football fold but in the name of decency I am prepared for the worst rather than compromise

I hear your pain and that is the reason I have refrained from posting. I have a lot of anger and grief to overcome before commenting on any of the craziness of the last week. I now find the whole football issue so serious that I only wish to form or express calculated opinions. As for your language, proof reading and keyboard, I am still trying to erase the teeth marks.
