I disagree.I really do not know to be honest. I know what we think of them all. However when it comes to the crunch we are at opposite ends of the scales over many things but when comes to it they will love their club as much as we do ours.
They are still scum though.
they just wouldn't have coped at allWe have seen the old paranoid Celtic fans come back with a vengeance since 10 in a row is no more for them. The gathering outside the stadium and calling for heads to roll.
it got me thinking how would they have coped with what Rangers and the fans have endured over the last 10 years? In the main our fans have been far more level headed. We have backed the club in attendance even in the lowest leagues. We have been fantastic. We dealt with all the Mike Ashley and the spivs (I still wonder what would have been if we had Dave King in at the start of this).
We have had fans of all clubs mock us for stuff out with our control and by in large took it on the chin knowing that our time would come again.
I don’t think Celtic would have had the same loyalty with the fans. You can see them asking for refunds already because of this season alone.
as for this 10 in a row, we have had that disappointment of not doing 10. We were disappointed but I don’t mind any great fall out or having the notion it was rightfully ours.
what are your thoughts folks?
Exactly. Politicians in Scotland would have hounded HMRC into submission with subsequent sackings by the dozen. Celtc would have demanded financial compensation from the Government. It would have been portrayed as anti-Irish Catholic persecution.Politicians would never have allowed it.

And that's it nailed.Politicians would never have allowed it.
There was a guy a dozen years ago, showed the average attendancies from the 1920s up till the 60s and they were third behind Hearts and sometimes fourth behind Hibs.Yes .. also in the early sixties when Baxter was taking the pxsh their crowdx were circa 10 to 15k .

Its perfectly feasible their church would've stepped in to help out. After all, having a sporting wing is a clever form of crowd control. I can recall being in a RC school in Greenock interviewing the head teacher c 1977. I found it very odd he had two framed pictures on his wall....The Pope and Pele. They fuse the two interests together and use them to very good effect.....at least they used to.We have seen the old paranoid Celtic fans come back with a vengeance since 10 in a row is no more for them.

Would govt help not be against UEFA rules ?In the exact same situation they would have had political assistance from the Scottish government. Any attempt to smear the club would be met with the "anti-irish racism" card.
The whole club/company argument would be in full swing. They have previous for this with their "separate entity" nonsense. They might have been given a points deduction but the placemen in football governance and politics would have see them weather the storm.
If it went tits up the way it went for us, they would be rioting on the streets.
Since when have rules been a factor in anything they do? It would be cloak and dagger stuff as per usual.Would govt help not be against UEFA rules ?
