isn't the whole conversation "Whataboutery"?
No one knows what's going to happen after all...

Well Semi Colon; Joe says they're boycotting stadiums if we're allowed to remain in the SPL without sanction.

"Celtic fans chief Joe O'Rourke plans to organise a boycott of clubs who fail to vote for sanctions against a newco Rangers staying in the SPL." (Daily Express)

Find it amazing how his comments on Protestants drowing on the Titanic was swept under the carpet, imagine the uproar had a Rangers fans representative said something about Catholics.

Not even season end, and this thread is a train wreck.

Can't wait until August.

Where's the "Sporting Integrity" there?

correct the proposals by the 'other 10' serve knowone. They are afraid of the short term hit monetary hit rather than see the potential of growing their clubs while Rangers work their way back to the SPL. This proposal will kill the scottish game if it goes ahead.

The point I was also making is that some Rangers fans feel that there should be no further sanctions if they restart in Division3.

Starting in Division3 is rightly where any Newco should start regardless of their past.

Punishments need to be considered after that depending on the full severity of Rangers financial cheating.

I love it when you guys try and take the moral high ground!!!

Strangely you guys always seem quiet when this kind of thing (yet ANOTHER Rangers player getting done for being a sectarian oaf) happens - http://m.scotsman.com/the-scotsman/s...hant-1-2276772

Wasn't the Titanic largely built by Rangers fans

For example, any discussion regarding something happening at Celtic quickly turns into "Aye but you's had a sectarian signing policy".

Somehow I don't think the tit for tat stuff will ever disappear.

Yes, when the topic is about sectarianism.

But potential punishments for financial doping getting linked to child abuse FFS

Bobby - Look back a few pages, it's been discussed. One Celtic fan calling for his head on a plate.
Havnt seen anyone mention Semi Colon Joe before now.

Yet another though? Who else?

I don't see that as a Rangers fan taking the moral high ground, thats a Rangers fan reminding Celtic they're not whiter than white.

The majority or Rangers fans acknowledge that we have/had problems, how many Celtic fans acknowledge problems they have had, past or present, very few in comparison.

The thing is I am not trying to distract from any reasonable discussion but theScotlands Shame crap does not come into that category

Well getting back to things Celtic. One more match left in the season. It seems like Lennon is treating next Sundays final game seriously and I would expect us to field a very strong team with the likes of Scott Brown returning and Victor Wanyama in from the start. Hopefully we can put on a real show and finish the season on a real high. It has been a terrific league title to win given how badly we started the season and how far behind we were at one point.

Neil Lennon named manager of the year. No surprise whoever wins the league usually gets that award. Still when Celtic were 15 points behind last November and Lenny was under pressure, he battled hard and his team came out on top in the end. Well done Neil, onwards and upwards from here.

The writers award I presume? Derek Adams won the manager of the year at the league awards on Sunday.

I'm guessing Mulgrew will win writers POTY as well.

It was the SPL awards last night. Derek Adams won the PFA awards.
