The Final Straw! ( or How I learned to love hating the SPL Board<\/em>) by Estadio<\/strong><\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It is the wider world of Scottish football and the disgusting contempt with which we (and fans of other clubs) are totally ignored.<\/p>\n

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 “.<\/p>\n

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

I am NOT<\/strong> happy.<\/p>\n

This is what has got my gander up.<\/p>\n

“The amount of money distributed to member clubs in Scotland’s top league fell by \u00a31.6m, a drop of about 9% on the 2010-11 season.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

The SPL’s directors said: “The tough economic climate<\/b> within which the company (SPL) has operated in recent years l<\/strong>ooks likely to continue for some time<\/b>.<\/i><\/p>\n

“This is exacerbated by the absence of….” <\/i>you know who FC<\/i><\/span> “….from the league competition for several seasons ahead………”<\/i><\/p>\n

“The latest SPL accounts show directors <\/i><\/b>pay and benefits increased by 16.5<\/span>%, despite a 6% fall in revenues<\/i><\/b>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

…….Pay and benefits for the SPL’s board of directors, which is approved by the member clubs, increased to \u00a3200,000.”<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Neil+Doncaster\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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\u00a0merry-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\u00a0of a \u00a0of eyeless and\u00a0brainless\u00a0extremeophiles scurrying in sulphuric acid spouting\u00a0fissures somewhere in the doom laden denizens at the bottom of\u00a0Chernobyl’s polluted crater.<\/p>\n

SEND THEM PACKING NOW……fuck it….just broke my keyboard……shite!<\/p>\n

Hail Hail<\/p>\n
