Guest sozzler Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Copied from FF- This was sent out to various media agencies today, I wonder whether it will be picked up by the Scottish Press? Calton Resources press release: Celtic FC in secret deal with fans to 'tackle terror problem' Calton Resources has received worrying information about an attempted "secret deal" between Celtic Supporters Groups and Celtic Football Club. It has uncovered a meeting between Peter Lawell, Celtic Chief Executive, and representatives from Celtic Supporters Groups. Mr Lawell has insisted to fans representatives that the meeting remain top secret. The supporters representatives suggested to Mr Lawell, that in the event of Celtic fans singing any racist or sectarian songs, they would be met (and drowned out) by a chorus of "Hail Hail". Mr Lawell was in total and emphatic agreement with this idea, and insisted that the media be led to believe that the idea came from the Celtic Supporters as opposed to being a joint initiative with Celtic Football Club. He requested that instructions be posted within ALL Celtic Fans' football websites, including (but not restricted to) Celtic Minded, Kerrydale Street and Jungle Bhoys. All of these websites are crammed with sectarian and bigoted references to fans of Rangers, and indeed, Protestants in general. With IRA supportive insignia adorning members profiles. The continued references to "Huns", "Orange Bastards" etc, would indicate, that while Lawell is happy enough for Celtic's fan-base to frequent and indeed, run these websites, he wishes the wider community to believe that sectarianism in Glasgow is a one-way-street. At any rate - Celtic have at last admitted they do continue to have a major problem with fans supporting terrorism. http://www.caltonmedia.com 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Celtic have to address the problem just as we do. Unfortunately we are trying to eradicate our sectarian problems in the open and Celtic choose to hide in the shadows. Then again the terrorists have always hid in the shadows. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Yep, don't see an awful lot wrong with this other than them trying to make it appear they dont have a problem - but everyone knows they do. Ours is being aired in public whilst they are privately going about their business - if we succeed in our efforts then airing it in public should be a major PR boost. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmck 117 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 mental though. you've got to love the "we've no got a problem", "lets drown out the problem" paradox. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
