Chairman a disgrace...again.

meh, its a storm in a tea cup imo. yes it doesnt look good that he may be using tax payers money but then again i'm willing to believe there may be some nutter who'd want to do him especially as he's the celtic chairman and since he was NI minister afterall not to mention his role in the whole Iraq business; put another way, it could be a lot worse and the Scotsman's agenda is pretty transparent; would we be hearing any of this had there not been a certain result on sunday? somehow i doubt it.....

i'm no fan of John Reid by any stretch as some have said his chairmanship has presided over a very bad spell for us on the pitch not to mention his very dodgy political career but lets not use this to give the media what they want, celtic supporters fighting over our chairmen who lets face it, isnt leaving any time soon

 

dont like the guy but lets not be manipulated here people.the huns have just suffered an embarrasing home defeat to us,hun media networks are go!

 

To be honest Reid is merely the face of the club, Desmond is the real power broker so I couldn't care less what he decides to do. Of course I disagree with a lot of his decisions but this is nothing but sensationalist rubbish which is being taken as it was intended - to cause trouble!

 

This is 100% correct and everybody knows this, including the media,typical non-story hun media *.

 

This.

 

My * I think I must have met you outside CP a couple of seasons ago, were you the guy pushing leaflets in my face demanding the removal of Reid. You obviously have an agenda out-with any connections to Celtic, I'm not an admirer or otherwise of Reid but your highly emotional rant is not one I can relate to,your terminology is over the top, "war monger, blood on his hands,stain on our club, unfit for office etc etc.
I think you will need a lie down after that, in the meantime I look forward to your post that has relevance to Celtic.

 

Well the slaughter of tens of thousands - in a war deliberately drummed up on faked evidence - may not greatly disturb your enviable emotional balance. But do you really feel it's so appropriate to scorn someone who seems to care?

 

at least he gets to the games!

 

* * here we go again. Seriously would it kill us to talk about football on a football forum once in a while? He's entitled to it, I don't have a problem.

 

Don't remember him at the Aarhus away game back in early 1980s.

Could have been on the Sons of Donegal bus right enough.

 

Perks of the job maybe.

 

Didnt like the man but kept a open mind when he took the job. However i like him even less with his treatment of the fans whom he disagrees with. Just confrims what kind of man he is '*' and yes a war criminal.

 

He has a political agenda which he is entitled to have, my objection is using a Celtic forum to push same, the same way I object to having leaflets with a similar agenda being pushed on me outside CP.
Maybe I have misunderstood the forum title, that being Celtic Chat, if his rant qualifies then I apologise for my transgression.

 

So no matter how good a job he is doing as Celtic Chairmen ,his past job is always going to haunt him in the Celtic fans eye's.

 

Yes

For the record, the job he has done so far has rarely seen anything to shout about.

 

Dunno about that his actions towards the famine song were worth something, considering when it was in it's prime he did not hold back in making his intentions clear about getting it looked at.

 

Well the bare fact is that John Reid is the chairman of Celtic.

I think what I simply don't get - and you may well be in the majority on this - is the ability to divorce the man's acts from the post he holds at the club.

If we had appointed as our chairman the chief of Pinochet's secret police, would we still be saying his political past is not relevant, it's nothing to do with Celtic?

What if we'd appointed Joseph Goebbels? Political past still not relevant?

At what point do we take our fingers out of our ears and make the blatant link?

 

you know what at the end of the day would any of us or even any football fan really want a politican as their teams chairmen honestly?
