    Now that makes sense. I wonder why anyone on our esteemed board hasn't thought of that - but, yet again, they feckers don't think about our club or it's fans unless it's to make money. Clueless feckers the lot of them

    Outside of Scottish football i dont want anything to do with these rats but we always get lumbered together for some reason. Poor show from the plc after the positive vibes from them for most of the season.

    Peej, I think everyone on here understands the rivalry and the reasons for the hatred towards sevco and their fans.

    However, the celtic board have to rise above that, whether they have these feelings or not, and do what's best for the club on a professional level.

    If the Australian organisers approach celtic, inviting them to attend the tournament the reply "only if we don't play sevco" just seems pretty petty to me. I guarantee you the vast majority of celtic fans will watch the game despite what's being said on here.

    Putting aside the ‘friendly’ aspect of this, it does seem like an odd move.

    We’ve got more than sufficient presence in both Australia and Japan to simply tour and play a few friendly’s against sides with their own profile there, which I think would be massively preferable for the fanbase.

    Seen we’re getting a similar amount of cash from these two friendlies as we do an entire spfl season.

    Spfl negotiators need punted.

    One good thing about this is they’ve basically bent over to accept being the sideshow and their fans canny handle it, Espanyolification complete

    We don't have to rise above the Huns
    We always are above them

    But we shouldn't be facilitating them or helping them with revenue.

    Sure the organisers may have wanted both, but we can easily have said no

    We could easily have arranged our own, completely separate from them, and still made good business decisions


    In fact, I'll go as far to say, this is a bad business decision for the board. It's yet another thing that will drive a wedge between the board and the fans.

    Short term, lazy, money is the go to approach by this board. Has been for years. Yet again we see it happen with no care for the fans at all.
    They'll get that short term revenue, but inevitably it's another thing that's getting added to the long list of things that this board should be removed from office for.

    That state of origin game you talk about
    Was one team diverse an welcoming of refugees and immigrants while the other was a racist rancid cesspool of hatred?

    Mate, i despise everything that the scum stand for and every one of their supporters I have met have been bitter, sectarian bigots. But they are so bitter that it is actually laughable. It makes them a joke in the eyes of most football supporters in this country.

    Us showing ourselves as being every bit as bitter is wrong and hopefully we as a club and support are far better than that.

    I know you hate the board mate but tbh I personally don't think this decision is a bad one for quite a few reasons.

    Would love to know how this offers more money than the full spfl season. Whoever’s coming away with this pish is just adding everything together Celtic could make from this and comparing it to the £1/2m prize money you get for winning the SP. Not taking into account you can’t sell 50k seasons tickets worth 10s of millions etc if you don’t have W regular season. Not to even mention prize money from UEFA that comes along with it too.

    I assume they are just comparing SPFL prize money for winning the league v revenue from this tournament.

    To be honest, the cinch deal is garbage. It's embarrassing for the league and the prize money is laughable.

    Should not be helping those * make money! We don't need them, we would be a big enough attraction on our own.

    * board trying to keep the old firm * going and keep the huns out of liquidation. Shameful.
