Disunity once again?

Robbie Keane for Celtic?

If so, then King Dermot could be on the brink of grasping discord from the jaws of unity.

It is worth remembering that it was a united Celtic Park that proved to be an impregnable fortress in the title run-in.

I understand that both Keane and Martin O’Neill were interviewed in London last night.

My information is that the man who just delivered an improbable league and cup double for the Hoops was in the building AFTER the ex-Maccabi Tel Aviv boss.

Dear reader, make of that what you will.

As for Keane, even if we park the Israel issue for now, would his managerial CV suggest he could take Celtic forward?

I will leave that one for knowledgeable folk, like, for example, the Huddle Breakdown.

Last season, Martin O’Neill saved Celtic TWICE.

Moreover, he did it with, in all probability, the poorest Celtic squad in a generation.

If the ONLY alternative is Mr Keane, then it should be no contest.

However, the Israel issue cannot stay parked.

This statement puts it rather well.

Robbie Keane was the manager of the club with fans who are notorious for their racism.

This piece in the Guardian from last October is worth your time.

For this Fenian, it’s Martin and unity or toxic anger.

Unfortunately, only one person makes that call.

  1. Disunity, disillusione and total disgust. This is what DD, and his son waiting in the wings. These are some of the factors, our fearless, and frightening, leader, has brought to CFC. When will it stop?
    That must be made possible, by all Celtic supporters taking the ultimate step.
    Not A Penny More was a bold step.
    Alas, not decisive. The Board proved that by banishing a vital section of supporters who showed their love of all aspects of CFC, on a weekly basis.
    The only thing that can drive the point home, and hopefully get rid of these bastards, is a total boycott of all games.
    It may hurt us for 1-2 years, but leaving these these people in charge, will hurt us for how long….?

  2. Where were all these faux outraged Justice warriors when we signed the likes of
    Eyal Berkovic, Hatem Abd Elhamed, Rami Gershon, Nir Bitton, Beram Kayal and liel Abada?
    Who, btw, will at some point, all need to do national service within the IDF.

    What’s going on in Israel has been going on since the 1930’s. Up until Oct 7th Israel has murdered thousand of Palestinians and stolen thousands of home and acres of land.

    And for all you smug Huns reading this page whilst ironing your Star of David flags. Don’t get too cocky.

    Israel murdered nearly 800 British military and police personnel, between 1939 and 1945. not including three ex British military just 3 years ago. Lest we forget!

    Robbie Keane worked in Israel as a football coach. He never joined Shin Bet.

    As Celtic fans, we can be our own worst enemies at times. Pathetic.

    • Elhamed and Kayal did not serve in the UDF as Muslims are not allowed to. Berkovic has used his blog to call for the expulsion of all Arabs from the occupied territories. If Desmond brings in Keane I will not give him any support. He has built his managerial career on the back of money generated by genocide and decades of ethnic cleansing.

  3. Billionaires have no moral other than accumulation of ego, power and wealth. The last spending spree occurred after sevco dented the said ego. Maybe Tony Bloom will present another challenge to ego in the season ahead.

  5. Desmond and all connected to him should clear their desks and gtf out of Celtic Park.
    A consortium of good Celtic men with the clubs interests at heart would happily take their place and get this football club back on track.
    The current mob have shown how little they care about fan opinion. Considering Keane for the vacant managers job underlines that.
    King Desmonds son insulted the fans at the clubs AGM so the contempt is reciprocal.

    Get them out and get Martin O’Neil in the managers position and get the club running properly again. Celtic fans put their anger to the side to help the team win the league. But nobody should be under any illusions that it has passed. If these clowns who have damaged the club think differently then they are in for a rude awakening. The fans are still annoyed and they are not going away HH

  6. can we not focus on the football and fully support the team instead of creating a split in the support by a few people with an agenda that they want everyone to listen to there voices;

  7. Judging by who he has worked for, Robbie K seems to have a similarly laissez-faire attitude to right-wing politics as his cousin – Morrissey. The lesson is a stark one – the Mancunian crooner has managed to alienate most of his own fanbase….

    • Have i missed something? A club for all, is surely a non judgmental club, no?
      Don’t get me wrong i am very anti Israel, and not on anyone else’s say so, not like a sheep following the crowd the way i believe a lot of people are, and i do believe their pm is guilty of war crimes against more than one nation, but to judge someone, and then judge their political stand based on an employer seems like something that the other side of our City would do. You cant pick and choose when we are an open to all club! By no way saying Keane is the man for the job, and i do have serious concerns about MON being appointed, and what ambition that shows for progression, and do i trust the board to make the correct decision? No, i believe a competent board would have announced a new manager the Monday after the cup final, but fans trying to influence the decision, is only going to make the decision tougher for the board, and lets be honest, they can make bad decisions when not under pressure, so who thinks its a good idea to put them under pressure with this important decision?

  8. What else would you expect. The board are completely detached from the Celtic fan base. His taking the genocidal shekel does it for me and as a coach, I’ve seen nothing to give me any confidence. Just renewed two season tickets but I won’t attend CP if he is selected as manager.
