The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Hectic]

On the contrary I am bemused by heated arguments from the floor in recent years at the AGM,led by one or two academics,that the club should pay the living wage to all employees at Celtic Park,while never once alluding to the fact that other employees are grotesquely earning hundreds of thousands and in one or two cases,millions,annually.

Fair enough though relatively speaking I do not mind the idea that the living wage would be a good start however I am not brutally passionate about it to push it to the forefront of my concerns. I suppose in that sense there is a going rate for different sections of the industry but ultimately the majority of us are concerned primarily with the entertainment value on the pitch and the associated success that comes with it.

Yes.But the people who are so passionate about the living wage for some employees would be celebrating if the club could afford Messi and give him a £600k weekly contract! I believe the advocates of the minimum wage view themselves as socialists!

[tonto1888]

I think we should pay the living  wage if we don't already. As for footballer wages and the wages at others at the club and football clubs in general, it's a disgrace that people are being paid that much.

How did we play today. Didn't see the game as I was at a crossfit competition.

Southderryman,I have been at more Celtic games than you will ever see.

This is a ridiculous comment. And not just that its from you. I see posts like this on various forums. How do you know?

Well I've seen Lennox,Dalglish,Mc Grain wear the Celtic jersey in the flesh.

I bet few enough people on this thread can go back that far,or have regularly caught buses at 4am in the morning to head up to Larne,pre high speed ferries,to sail across on a raft in stormy seas,stumbling off in Stranraer or Cairnryan with the stomach churning and legs about to give way.

So you're older. Good for you. I'm assuming we played well today as you I've t been giving off about Rodgers?

[T Fearon]

No point in giving off.Once again,with an important Champions League game coming up in midweek,it might have been better to have put mighty Motherwell to bed by half time today,so that key players could have been withdrawn and properly rested before midweek.

Good performance today,created loads of chances and but for the woodwork and a couple of excellent saves from the keeper it would have been a hammering.Motherwell offered very little threat going forward and thankfully Celtic didn't have to exert themselves ahead of the CL game.

Saw most of it. Didnt kill the game off when they had loads of chances to do so but were well on top throughout. In terms of Wednesday BMGB (the germans) were held to a scoreless draw at home, Barca won well and City drew. Think positive - we could be 2nd by 10pm Wednesday

I've been on  that sailing many times but unlike most I've had to come back and do a days work on the Monday.  In fact I've been to the Sunday late k.o. in Ibrox and been back for work on Monday morning, while the so-called civil-servants supporting Celtic and Rangers on the boat laughed at the fact they would all be phoning in sick the next morning.  Never was there a better example that the NICS existed primarily to give work to the otherwise unemployable.    Its doubtful if Lennox, Daglish or McGrain could identify with their slothful, leech-like and shameful work ethic.

Lol bit refreshing to see someone throw something other than the unemployed into the mix for that gripe. Not sure there is a civil service thread on this, maybe should be one, I saw a teachers one the other day but I am sure come Monday evening you had the satisfaction of having done and honest days work safe in the knowledge that Lennox etc could identify with you.
