See No... Hear No... Speak No...!

Postby franton » Mon Apr 27, 2015 1:18 am

Well now. That is a full working week and not a word from the Scottish Football Association regarding the game changing / season changing / Treble busting referees' blunder against Celtic in the William Hill Scottish Cup Semi - Final at Hampden Park last Sunday. No surprise though! The easiest thing to do in a crisis... is nothing! Just like sticking your head in the ground and hoping that it all just disappears!Comforting... but not solving any problems! That is where the S.F.A. seem to be at though!

Last season I wrote to them to ask why no action was ever taken against the Aberdeen Fans for their persistent and repeated nauseating obscene chants towards the last former Celtic Manager, at each visit to Celtic Park last season. Hardly conduct of the highest repute! But, no answer came back. So, presumeably they made no enquiry into that matter! Hardly surprising! Perhaps the S.F.A. just didn't hear them? Just like their match officials didn't see the obvious deliberate hand ball last Sunday! Or perhaps they just don't think ten thousand or so fans chanting obscene hatred is anything to get upset about. Good for them but you could hardly say they were doing their jobs properly!

Whatever way you look at it, the S.F.A. are seeming more and more like a dead - duck in the water. One wonders where it will all end? Or perhaps the game is up for the S.F.A. Blind to the obvious, deaf to the things they would rather not listen to and nothing to say about it all either!

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.
