By the the time we played our second or third it would be like asking us to play Montrose on the way to the Champions League (sorry Montrose).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500893471245_3735\">I have seen the SMSM blow this tie out of all proportion acting like it was some powderkeg European Cup Final where there was so much bad blood it made a match between K\u00f6ln and M\u00f6nchengladbach seem like a daisy picking picnic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500893471245_3736\">To what end though, what was the point? Surely they wouldn&#8217;t honestly have us believe that the powers that be in &#8220;The New Northern Ireland&#8221; couldn&#8217;t handle a couple thousand Celtic Supporters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500893471245_3737\">It was bait. They were baiting a part of the Celtic support that are so passionate in their support they couldn&#8217;t see it for what it was. A cunning age old ploy of divide and conquer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500893471245_3738\">Why?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500893471245_3739\">Celtic fans across the country have been trying to drum up support for something to be done about Scottish Football&#8217;s governing bodies and quite frankly we were gaining some traction. The SFA and the SPFL were headed for the ropes, they had to do something. So they started calling in favors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>They remembered that once news got to the power brokers at Celtic that the top clubs in Europe wanted a closed competition those power brokers crapped themselves. We had just flopped in Europe over 2 seasons and in no way could be considered one of those &#8220;top&#8221; clubs. Let the timing of that, the sudden involvement of Dermot and the arrival of a TOP MANAGER sink in. I mean we couldn&#8217;t beat a 4 year old club in a Scottish Cup Semi-Final forget about giving Barca and Man City a scare&#8230;..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>So it would make sense that when our board were presented with a situation whereby our club&#8230;&#8230; OUR CLUB would be running the risk of being too much trouble for such a competition of course our board would react, but that was what the SFA and SPFL wanted all along. They wanted a rift, they wanted everyone to stop talking about them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>They are trying to fracture AFC. They have someone hanging the planning permission for the new stadium and resulting sea view apartments in front of Stewart Milne (possibly, remember I might be delusional).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>It won&#8217;t take long for them to try and do something to AFC&#8217;s neighbours in Dundee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>This isn&#8217;t a new tactic, this tactic has been deployed for centuries by the British, let&#8217;s take a look at a few examples:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Malaysia and the Philippines over North Borneo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Myanmar (formerly Burma) military rule with multiple Coups<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Cyprus North vs South<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>India and Pakistan over Kashmir<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Sri Lanka multiple insurrections and race riots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>The leading role that the British took in cutting up Africa by straight lines and NOT natural geographical borders. Thus ensuring war after war, civil war after civil war and famine after famine in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>The role the British played in creating countries in the Middle East with absolutely no regard for religious divides.<\/div>\n<div>Iraq<\/div>\n<div>Iran<\/div>\n<div>Syria<\/div>\n<div>Israel<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500893471245_3741\">Palestine<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500893471245_3740\">The list in the Middle East is practically all inclusive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500893471245_3742\">Everytime there was a revolt the British did their best to crush it, when they couldn&#8217;t they ensured continued fighting in most cases over centuries. It meant the resulting country or countries left the British alone due to being too embroiled with in fighting and unable to target the cause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500893471245_3751\">You will notice two examples have been left off of the list, they are still employing this tactic. If you truly wanted to rebel stop letting them do this, stop taking the bait. We are not rebelling we are doing exactly what they (the SFA and SPFL) want.<\/div>\n<div>They caused this, we need unity!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We must stand as one, and recruit our fellow supporters of Scottish Football everywhere we go!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>TAKE THE POWER BACK!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Take football back and make them pay!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uralius has been thinking&#8230;.\u00a0 After sitting back, necking pain killers over this past little while and watching things unfold I have decided that my drug&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":11741,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/etims.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/1-QjC-Fuw3XEFeUcVlbI7QNA.gif","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2J7If-33m","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11740"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11740"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11740\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11742,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11740\/revisions\/11742"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etims.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
