I give up on this pish

I changed it from turn of the century as well... doh!

 

The * are you slabbering about ya moon unit?

Edit.

Ah right, Gazza. It's not his alcoholism that annoys me, it's the multiple chances he gets just because he is a class clown. Even though he is a wife beating mess who has squandered more on rehab than people make in a lifetime he still can't keep it together.

If you had read the rest of my post you would have realised I advocated that alcoholics more deserving should be given the chances he has. Obviously that doesn't fit your agenda though.

Who the * are you anyway?

 

I believe soup takers was first used during the time of the penal laws but became prevelant during the famine. The English people thought of the Famine as *'s way of punishing the Irish for being Catholic, soup kitchens were set up, but many of these soup kitchens were only for protestants and one would have to convert to Protestantism in order to drink the soup. The people that converted were called "soup drinkers" or "soup takers".

 

Same here.Think the CL was our one thing too look forward too this season but the board has went and * us twice on that already this term.Cant see any silver lining to this except a change from top to bottom.Just cant be arsed no more,we have always had biscuit tin mentality but this board wouldn't even buy a packet off Jaffa cakes for their own * tea meeting the lousy *.

 

I always thought it was someone that went against their own beliefs and principles in order to get an easy ride or more favourable treatment.

Pat Nevin is an example of a soup taker: Celtic fan by childhood but roundly criticises us and now claims to support Hibs just to get an easier ride in the media because he distances himself from affiliation with either ourselves or oldco/newco Rangers.

 

I would never advocate giving up on Celtic but I totally understand why people no longer feel they want to hand over their cash to the club. The board exploit our loyalty at every turn(releasing a new strip every 5mins and persistently asking us to #BeCeltic) and what are they giving us back in return?

Not a lot from where I'm standing.

I never bought any of last season's strips and I won't be buying any of this season's either. Trust me when I say that is a first for me. Altogether it costs me in the region of £400 to attend one Celtic match, why the * would I want to spend that amount of money to watch the * poor footballers we currently employ? I'm sorry if it sounds harsh but paying £29 to watch Jo Inge Berget, Callum McGregor and Anthony Stokes play against St. Mirren or Ross County does not represent value for money. It's not even close to being value for money. When there were players like Larsson, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Boruc, Wanyama or Hooper on display then I didn't mind paying the money so much because you're watching some proper footballers and.......well.......it's Celtic. This team does not inspire me at all and it certainly doesn't inspire me to the point where I want to travel hundreds of miles and spend hundreds of pounds to watch it.

The board can * off. I will not #BeCeltic. Perhaps it is them who should take a look in the mirror and ask themselves if they are #BeingCeltic.

 

you surely have gotta give the manager the chance to turn this round end of the seasons is when the prizes are handed out remember it worked out well for us once getting to the final not saying we will do that but who woulda though we would that year

 

The Hysteria is unreal on here. Those idiots who were protesting the Board last night can go and * off, or maybe they want to be LIQUIDATED spending money they don't have.

We hit the Bar, missed a close header and had a point blank save last night and everyone is calling for heads. The boos at Half Time were a disgrace, 0-0 was good enough and with the poor quality on show it would have been enough.

The Board have done a fantastic job in difficult circumstances. We are limited by the environment we operate under.

Instead of canning your money towards Celtic, I recommend the same fans tell Sky to * off and cancel that instead and set up an association were we have a true say in the Boardroom, instead of just complaining about slim margins in a difficult business environment, don't give your money to the Hulls and Fulhams of this world then wonder why Celtic are struggling.

Football as a sport is truly dead now. All we can do is pray that we'll get into another League that befits the Club and its support.

 

Away and give yerself peace for * sake.

We have spent NOTHING this transfer window, on a team that was crying out for investment, after Peter Lawwell guaranteed money would be spent before the qualifiers.

Where the * are you getting liquidation from? People want us to spend wisely but we need to actually SPEND.

You're living in cloud cuckoo land.

 

Spot on mate

I don't want to contribute to efe ambrose wages either that's why am not spending another penny on then

 

I follow Celtic, love them, but rarely go to the games so I don't contribute financially so I can't possibly feel the same level of anger as those with season tickets.

Wait till you have to deal with the online streams and you'll be wanting your season tickets back. Between Celtic TV cutting then off and countless ads it's even more frustrating than watching Celtic.

 

"We cannae spend money in case we end up like Rangers." If I hear that one more time I'm going to vomit. It's an absolute * lie and I'm tired of seeing it used as a scare tactic to try and silence disgruntled supporters.

Excuses excuses. Over the course of 180mins we deservedly lost. Knocked out of the same competition twice in sucessive rounds. It's a * embarrassment no matter how you dress it up.

Yeah the board have done great.

Ki - £6million
Wanyama - £12million
Hooper - £5million
Forster - £8million
Two Champions League campaigns - £30million(approx)

WHERE'S THE * MONEY GONE?!

It certainly hasn't been invested in the team. The board are a bunch of cheapskate *. They are about to find out that a great many Celtic fans have had enough of it.

 

Spending doesn't guarantee success. It's not easy to spend when the Ross McCormack's of this world cost £11m (excluding Contract/Signing On Fee/Agent fee)

Deila explained we have money to spend, its the contracts that * us up. Oh but lets sign another Pukki just to keep the fans happy. Our signing Policy does not guarantee they will be better than what they have.

It's a sensible strategy to keep the money for a Rainy day and monopolise the Champions League spot in this country. We know our biggest rivals domestically and their "Business Plan". Money will be spent when the time is right (ie when it makes sense). The loan signings can become permanent if they go well (ie Forster), and can be easily released when they don't (Brafheid).

I'm defending the board because they have done a good job and deserve the benefit of the doubt. I was critical in 2011 when we lost the league and felt we should spend then, oh how wrong I was!

 

Are there really some Celtic fans who are still obsessed with the Huns? * me. Get over them.

 

No one is advocating stupid, hunlike spending. No one's even advocating going back to the MON days. But under Strachan and Mowbray there was a sustainable level of investment in the team. Under Lenny and Deila there's not only no investment, we actualy made £30 million in 4 years with Virgil still to go!

Now I'm not an idiot (hopefully), I know the board isn't stealing money and I know we're not sitting on a massive pile of cash; but I want to know what has changed. I want to know is it because of a drop in turnover (not for the last two years with CL football!)? An increase in running costs (if so why)? Has the money been invested elsewhere (and if so, where)? We have a right to know what is going on IMO.

 

We've found Peters login.

 

The money is there when the time is right it will be used. It does not guarantee success. If you don't think the Board have done a good job in the environment we operate under you are mad.

Professional footballers are getting paid shitloads to avoid relegation/play in the Championship and we cannot compete with that, no matter how many times you tell the Board to * off. That's our competition. We have enough battles to fight within looking inwards.

 

What evidence do you have that we're saving money for a rainy day? Is that normal for a large PLC with a decent line of credit? What use is the CL spot if the team is too * to qualify?

 

The money is there to be used when the time is right? :smiley-laughing002:

Ok, care to tell us when you think that time might be? I'd love to know. I'm sure we all would.
