Stimpy 0 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 These petitions are the biggest waste of time going. What's worse is there are a number of sites offering up free online petitions, so which one is the most credible? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Most likely the overall cost. Not a problem when it is the Celtic park coffers being boosted. Are they not reported as being the most expensive football stadia to use in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,348 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The petition has now been closed with under 400 supporters and the guy who set it up no longer has his profile active. I guess it didn't go he way he hoped. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 If the sfa hadn't been so desperate to hand Celtc easy finals and cash they would have had a closer look at sporting integrity and this wouldn't be a problem. To late now though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,267 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Great. Two wins at the piggery this season. We unfortunately bowed out of the League Cup at the expense of Forfar, way back in August (?). Our only defeat this season so far. So we are still in for one win at the piggery, though one wouldn't want to tempt Fate. That said, any final without them at their ground feels like a win too. BTW, rest assured that we would indeed make it to the finals, our support will be put under the micro-microscope with regards to behaviour and leaving the place intact. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I don' t really think it's about giving Celtic an easy final, Lawwell showed it to be transparently an attempt to self-aggrandize Celtic Park as the premier ground in the country. It wasn't so much the money either, although two finals should bring in more than two semis, but the prestige is the more important thing as shown by the location of the Challenge Cup final. The latter was totally illogical when Lawwell's fantasy logic is applied. The really ominous part is that it shows how much grip Celtic have on the SPFL and SFA with licence to exclusively promote only one club in Scotland, which itself claims not to be Scottish. They are killing Scottish football and the the rest of the clubs are sychophantically kissing their collective arse while they do it. Motherwell are already paying for the reduction in second place prize money which paid for some of the bribes. I just can't wait till we make that despicable reap what they sowed in that instance. The irony is that when we are back on top, the income for the other clubs will start to drop off even more when many are already struggling with their effective blue subsidies from our elective prize money, TV rights and ticket purchases. I do hope we turn that knife with lower uptake of away tickets in the top league as I have now have no love left for the teams who kicked us when we were down. Scottish football is moribund in the three senses of competitive level, finances and integrity. The sooner we leave for a more international league, the better. There is nothing left to really play for in our own country apart from our own self respect. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Five signatures there. Two Aberdonians, one from a wee village in the Dons' hinterland, one Raith - what's he doing there? - and one other of dubious origin trying in an oppressive and bigoted way to undermine people's rights to be heard. In fact the petitioners make a reasonable point. In the grand old days of yore the venues were not allocated until the teams were known. If Rangers were involved the venue was Hampden the other tie going to Ibrox or on rare occasions the Stadium of Blight. Simples. Francis Pope ROME, ITALY about 9 hours ago Liked 2 Because Celtic fans love obsessing about Scotland's Most successful club Glasgow Rangers 1872 What is bigoted about that. Are you not allowed a sense of humour any more. Or was it not this post you were talking about? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
