Celtic banter 9

04 Oct 2026 10:43:19
While I do not approve of the "tennis balls revolt" it has obviously annoyed Mr Desmond, he has ignored us Celtic fans for months, yet a few tennis balls spoiling his golf has him raging. The silly guy does not realise what his angry reaction has started, as the fans know it annoys him, EVERY time now he is playing in public out will come the tennis balls, he is lucky it could have been BEACH BALLS.

04 Oct 2026 11:21:44
Just read that despite the tennis balls DD FINISHED his round of golf, BEFORE being "whisked away"
A lot made of a silly incident.

04 Oct 2026 18:28:21
@1967 Timalloy, he's lucky it wasn't cannon balls.

05 Oct 2026 01:37:58
DD, Little baby Desmond and ALL the board should worry now. Yes, it was a silly prank, but by God it worked! Bring it on c###s! We want change! They know that and are batting down the hat he's to preserve their own interests.

Sound familiar? I just don't get the change/ lack of investment from when MoN took over in 2000 to today. Boycott European games! This mob needs a message!

05 Oct 2026 09:16:12
I honestly never thought we would go back to a time like the Kelly's and White's where people out of there depth are hanging on to power in the boardroom.
But here we are, only this time it's worse.

Before they had no money but now the board have all the money behind them and they don't need to go anywhere.
I hope everyone is prepared for this to go on for as long as DD is still breathing.

04 Oct 2026 09:13:12
If DD approves cuts, bans, sanctions of the fans or/ and activities related to the golf issue, would he be doing it for the betterment of Celtic FC or to maintain his ego?

Falling attendances, share price drop and reduced income must be making their mark and his embarrassment in World football must be taking a hit.

There's a difference between pig-headedness and being a major influence at a football club. If he's in it for the long haul then his standing in the sport is going to diminish along with his investments - and it may bring Celtic's repute down to a whole new level.

04 Oct 2026 15:36:11
The thing I don't understand is why would a demonstration on a golf course have anything to do with statements about behaviour from a football club? If DD, for an example, went into Tesco and did his shopping and there was a demonstration in the store why would it have anything to do with Celtic?

If the golf course or Tesco have an issue then they should be dealing with it - not someone from an entirely different entity. Just because it irked DD's ego, it shouldn't have anything to do with Celtic.

Hey you amazing folks hope all is well, I know no one will listen but I feel Kim Hellberg would make a great manager.

03 Oct 2026 21:12:05
Those guys that threw tennis balls at DD got it all wrong it let's him play the victim

No what they should have done is put lots of golf balls beside his golf ball, and if he played on with wrong golf ball get him disqualified.

03 Oct 2026 22:50:56
I've just seen the CFC statement. For those that are saying tennis balls will do nothing. well it has proper embarrassed the Desmonds! Obviously! The sooner they are gone the better. I am now in favour of a boycott.

Maybe European games. Obviously people that have spent on season tickets won't want to lose money. The share price has dived. I genuinely hope this is the start of change, but fear we may be in for a long battle.

03 Oct 2026 23:28:51
Have you seen the statement? that's the collective banned. Why they brought up the green brigade is beyond me. But grouping the bhoys in the same section? Speak out? Get banned! Dictatorship.

04 Oct 2026 04:21:25
More communication over a diddy game of golf than anything else over the past 6 months.

04 Oct 2026 08:13:24
I have just read the statement from Celtic FC on this minor incident and i can't believe how angry I feel about it.
The Celtic Collective should be applauded for the demonstration. No one was hurt, and in a very playful way, the Collective was able to get people to stand up and notice the 'Dictatorship ' of the Celtic board.
Going back to Celtic FC though. I think that statement is now the nail in the coffin for me. This group of people running our club have no desire to engage with the fans and shall not be moved. There sole intention it seems is to ruin our great club.
I have decided I shall not renew my season ticket next season. I have had enough of 'Desmond the Dictator and his Minions'

One last thing, to the Collective, keep up the good fight, the Celtic fans are right behind you.

Keen to hear the thoughts of fellow hoops. My view on Brendan Rodgers is complicated. Leaving for Leicester left a bad taste, though I gave him a clean slate when he came back. There’s no question the board has major flaws and failed to support him properly, but I’m still skeptical about why he walked away again.

Rodgers isn't blameless—his talent identification in the transfer market has always been questionable, and his self-preservation takes centre stage. Arranging a live Q&A event with ACSOM at a time when things are already fractured only fans the flames - is it to mend old wounds or give a new platform for his ego?

{Ed007's Note - You might very well think that - I couldn't possibly comment .}

03 Oct 2026 21:24:38
Or as rumoured, he is part of wullie haughey/ mcstays consortium that is buying shares? I personally thought it was nonsense but why else put himself in the firing line? It could be a sales disaster? Or building bridges?

{Ed007's Note - It's on June the 14th next year, putting himself in the firing line at a paid for PR controlled Q&A is hardly earth shattering. The sheer gullibility of the Celtic supports is astounding at times. Imagine paying money to listen to it, will he bring up the Danny McGrain story?

03 Oct 2026 22:25:32
Wasn't that bothered when he left the first time, it's football, managers come and go. The reaction from some was embarrassing you'd have thought their wife had left them. I wanted him gone the 2nd time and was glad he left.

03 Oct 2026 22:52:58
What story is that then?

04 Oct 2026 08:20:39
Dc7591

I was one of the dummy throwing people. When he left the first time. Many occasions he portrayed himself as a Celtic man. Danny story, boy named Anton and family Celtic daft.

Then walks with 11 games to go. No Celtic man walks out with 11 games to go to win a treble. He played the support rat.

04 Oct 2026 08:49:02
The Haughey/ Rodgers takeover is a non starter and would never happen even if it were true.
Has anyone seen the David Lowe interview on the Celtic Exchange? It's very interesting in what he has to say regarding the buying of shares, as Lowe mentioned, it's all very well Haughey saying for every 10,000 people signing up he will put up £2m to buy shares but exactly where are these shares coming from?
Lowe also mentioned that their website does have 3000 signatures but he knows Sevco supporters logging in and signing up with fake details.


He also mentioned that the Desmonds would Never sell especially to Haughey and Rodgers.

03 Oct 2026 23:34:47
I think he is stupid doing it Ed as per sales disaster comment. I was in the no crowd about bringing him back. My personal thoughts were he went against Desmond. And Desmond who shouldn't have access to official club media made a backside of himself. Fans will buy tickets thinking Rodgers will spill the beans.

More fool them. After todays events at the golf? Desmond pulled more rank, collective banned, green brigade brought into it? A right to protest Not on our watch. The bhoys were lumped in there to silence the peasants. Carpet ban.

{Ed007's Note - Rodgers - like all managers - will still be bound by the confidentiality clauses and NDAs in his contract.}

03 Oct 2026 19:00:00
Not Celtic legends anymore after losing 7-1 to the Ibrox club in the Tennent Sixes.
They should all hang their heads in shame.

03 Oct 2026 19:43:10
Why did they keep leaving the sevco player upfront on his own. Hope Tom Boyd isn't in the running for manager next season lol.

03 Oct 2026 22:26:18
Sack the board.

04 Oct 2026 09:59:03
Probably down to the biased refereeing and not because Celtic are $hite….

04 Oct 2026 13:12:17
The will have a DVD on the shelfs by tomorrow morning.

03 Oct 2026 17:16:52
Heard DD got a bit of abuse at the golf load of tennis balls chucked onto green 🤣🤣.

03 Oct 2026 19:05:44
Poor show imo.

03 Oct 2026 19:11:31
They should’ve thrown golf balls next to his.
Definitely a good showing.

03 Oct 2026 20:03:12
So what's next Buzz. Pan his windows?

{Ed007's Note - That would be breaking the law though.}

03 Oct 2026 20:42:36
It would indeed Edd but I wouldn't put it past some folk.

{Ed007's Note - You would need to throw a stone at least 30 to 45 metres from the public roadway - or so I heard...

03 Oct 2026 17:04:20
Big Boss DD ventures forth to enjoy a golf tourney. Balaclava wearing 'Celtic Fans' throw tennis balls at him. That should bring him to his knees and show him we mean business! Really?

03 Oct 2026 17:02:36
When we return we need to get hoping with a victory at a difficult venue but we really need to get rhe midfield sorted Martin needs to stop chopping and changing sorenson ain't been great but maybe he needs a good run get rhe ox in with baur and get a settled 11.

03 Oct 2026 19:53:07
Captain Undropable in his usual position, How can Martin O'Neil not see what everyone else can see, Mc Gregor has not played good for quite a while now, now he sometimes plays in the middle of the 2 centre halfs, wanting the ball and playing it to where they could have or taking the ball from the left and right backs at times, and again playing the ball to where the defenders could have, Celtic have not played for nearly 3 weeks, it will be interesting if there are any changes for the next game, or will things remain the same.

03 Oct 2026 20:43:35
I think something isn’t right at Celtic.

Is MON really the manager? Is that why Captain Liability is always picked despite being the worst player in our squad by a country mile.

My worry is after a 3 week break we just resort back to the same old pish we’ve had to watch for the last 15 months.

I’d love to see MON go back to his old formation, go direct, get crosses in for Hogh and Duran, high and low and see how that goes and of course drop McGregor from the squad.

03 Oct 2026 16:09:03
Think dd got a bit hard time at St Andrews, that I can get behind, harmless but noticeable (embarrassing for him)

03 Oct 2026 16:03:39
Yang and South Korea won Asian Cup

I hope that gives him taste for winning trophies.

03 Oct 2026 19:40:47
Think he already has the taste he's won 6 with us already. 😂.
