Backbones, Jellyfish and Celtic's Ultras

So Celtic face another big fine from UEFA after its self-styled 'ultras' defied the club with a show of support for the Palestinian resistance - currently led by murderous death squads from Hamas who target innocent Israeli civilians, and are doing nothing to help their own besieged citizens.

Do they really care about the club?

I say 'No', but it doesn't really matter as they think they know better than everyone else including those charged with running Celtic FC.

To my mind the Celtic board need to get themselves some backbone - because the 'ultras' are given special privileges which include unsupervised access and early access to the stadium.

Bonkers or what?

The underlying problem is Celtic FC is dealing with a faceless, nameless group who behave as if they are only accountable to themselves which, at present, they are of course. 

And if the 'ultras' continue to thumb their nose at the club, Celtic should remove all special privileges and make plans to return the stadium one that is all seated again.

I mean, do we really need a group that strikes up a chant of, "Ooh, ah, up the 'RA" when the Celtic team were struggling to conjure up a famous victory - in the dying minutes of last night's otherwise fantastic match against Atlético Madrid at Parkhead?

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

Hi. https://t.co/yuA2cY109e — Brian Spusk (@BrianSpanner1) December 16, 2022 Brian Spanner (aka Brian Spusk) shares a tweet from the SNP's chief executive and husband of SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon) criticising secretive party donations. What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
