    if the profits keep rising and we keep doing well in competitions, i bet none of us would be concerned about our ''war criminal'' chairman.

    Actually I am anti-Reid cause I dont want a political figure at CP. Its worse the guy was a major player in a virtual tory government that should not have borne the labour name. What the *, we will have to put up with him now. Wonder if Murray will resign now and Nick Griffin will step in:icon_mrgreen:

    He is a "once" political figure. As I said in an earlier post, people are quick enough to spring upon those who dare to mention Irish Republicanism, and songs of that sort being sung at matches, which I have previously said should be a separate issue.

    John Reid has moved on from politics, and I do not see him bringing any of his previous interests into his new employment. So, as we are constantly reminded, leave politics aside, and let the man get on with his job, which is in the interests of Celtic.

    Tend to agree. I don't like Reid BUT he's got the job. Let's judge him on how well he does in the job and at least give him the chance to be a success in the role.

    Yea so you love the club so much your happy for 2 armed guards to attend every match Reid attends as he is a potential terrorist target! So hey lets give these * an excuse to come to CP. THERE SHOULD NEVER BE ANY GUNS ALOULD INSIDE PARKHEAD REGARDLESS WHO YOU ARE....THEM BEING THERE IS A THREAT TO FANS THAT ARE SITTING NEARBY.:47:

    The job is an irrelevant one - you cannae be good or bad at being a chairman - your actual decision making or day to day duties are Nil.

    He's a figurehead - he's the person who says at meetings 'any other competent business?' and that's about it. He's basically the board's janitor.

    Now I do not want this immoral, ambitious * in Britain never mind at CP.

    Can we not find someone decent to do what's basically a non-job - I could do it.

    surely it would have been in the best interests of celtic if they appointed someone capable of doing the job but didn't bring any baggage to the club.john reid is a warmonger and is always gonna attract unwanted attention and i don't want his armed guards sitting 20 yards from me either.look at the bad press we get in the build up to our big games already,these journos will have a field day:54:

    Who gives a shiny * who the chairman is. Darth Vader would do. Jack and Victor even. Isa at a push. :56:

    It's results on the park that count.

    Those concerned with security.........do you never fly. That's a concern

    That's about as relevant as asking would I be happy if Reid was the kitman and we won the CL? Or the Queen having input to England winning the World Cup.

    He has nothing to bring to the table, it's a fecking part time job that doesn't affect the success or otherwise of the club.

    Now, would you be happy to have Johnny Adair as Chairman if we won the CL?

    Buckie's right H&J. That * is going to need armed security for the rest of his natural (that we all pay for) and they will be there at CP when he is there
