Contact UEFA over Salmond's Interference.

Postby Joe O'Rourke » Fri Feb 17, 2012 2:07 pm

[COLOR=#000000:7f83e169]I am getting a bit bored with the entire media furore surrounding the plight of the establishment team, I would much rather be writing about Celtic and our drive towards the treble in Scotland; than the EE.[COLOR=#000000:7f83e169]But the interference of Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond needs to be addressed. He has said in the past that politics has no place in football; I certainly think politicians have no place if football; unless it’s in the stands supporting you team.[COLOR=#000000:7f83e169]UEFA regulations I believe state that there can be no political interference in football of any kind; in fact I think Celtic supporters were convicted by UEFA of singing political songs; and our club were punished for it.[COLOR=#000000:7f83e169]Another strange point to ponder is the regulations within UEFA regarding financial fair play. How could they impose punishment on a club for spending more than they receive in income (Manchester City for instance)? And then ignore a club who blatantly evade paying their taxes; and who continue to buy players with the knowledge that they don’t have the funds to pay for them.[COLOR=#000000:7f83e169]I have this morning written to Stewart Regan of the SFA, and Neil Doncaster of the SPL regarding the interference of the King in waiting Alex Salmond; I have also reminded them of the duty to act in the best interests of all the clubs in Scotland; but most importantly; I have copied in UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino into the mail; I will be interested in his comments; if indeed he replies at all.[COLOR=#000000:7f83e169]I would encourage all Celtic fans to do the same and contact the SFA, SPL, and Mr Infantino, Mr Infantino can be contact at [/COLOR:7f83e169][EMAIL="Gianni.Infantino@uefa.ch"][COLOR=#0000ff:7f83e169]Gianni.Infantino@uefa.ch[/COLOR:7f83e169][/EMAIL:7f83e169][COLOR=#000000:7f83e169]

The buns are going to get away with this due to the fact every team in the SP HELL bar Dundee Utd will vote to keep the mankies in and with salmond getting in on the act there a cert to walk away from this intact. The 10pts means nothing there still 2nd and were always going to finish 2nd so were is the punishment. If the SP HELL are backing the buns lets as 1 unit have a vote through our supporters clubs and boycott every away ground in scotland except Dundee Utd. Hail hail

I wonder what would happen if Rainjars are relegated to the bottom tier of Scottish Football and the SPL members hold an EGM and vote to allow them back in. Do you end up with 2 Monkey teams?

The Celtic Supporters Association

The Celtic Supporters Association was the idea of Willie Fanning whose dream became a reality back in September 1944.

These were dark days on and off the pitch with the Second World War still raging and in comparison to those horrors rather more trivialy Celtic were not providing much joy to its supporters and defeat was a regular experience. Indeed the idea of a supporters association came to 27-year-old Willie while watching the Bhoys get thrashed 6-2 at Hamilton.

Willie decided to write to the Daily Record calling on fellow Celtic fans interested in establishing a supporters club to get in touch. A total of 14 people replied. Consequently a meeting was arranged at St Mark's and St Paul's Hall, Chester Street in Shettleston. The meeting proved to be a success - a provisional committee was installed and Willie was elected as President.

By the time of the second meeting at the A.O.H. Hall in Alexandria Parade in Townhead the word had spread. The hall was packed and car loads of supporters from across Glasgow and beyond eager to attend created a traffic jam along the parade.

A constitution was drawn up which allowed the new organosation to become an amalgamation of supporters clubs. Within 12 months membership had rocketed to 700 and the association had won the official endorsement of Celtic FC who handed over the responsibility of distributing match tickets to affiliated branches of the CSA.

The CSA remains a strong and influential body. Apart from following Celtic in massive numbers it has a social club in Glasgow and its annual Supporters Rally is a highlight in the Celtic calendar.

True to the traditions of Celtic FC the CSA also has a proud and continued ethos of raising funds for charity.
