How Boycotts Work

Re the boycott points from last night on various threads.

Celtic fans from ‘Ra loonies to Jumping for Jesus Tims were under one

banner.

For a boycott to be successful there must be utter and disciplined fan

unity.

The boycott was successful.

Rangers fans are nowhere near this level of unity IMO.

Doing nothing is not an option.

There were ‘We Deserve Better’ banner when the squad was well

funded and still winning trophies.

They even make a rse of sacking a manager these days.


1. Unite.

2. Apply pressure / boycott.

3. Plan for Fan Ownership.

Alright pal.

Us lot are no good at boycotts......to oirishy!

I tried to boycott Eire goods, but the butter, bacon and bread did for me😁

Seriously though, us lot are not like yeez, in that we are not homogenious😉
We are Individuals, freethinkers, lonerider Clint Eastwood types, who do our own thing.

Basically, hard to control and organise.

No Curly.

Winter of 1993/4 there were several anti White/Kelly

individuals and groups.

The cornerboys had been in with Weissman and others but they fell out.

They thought they were smarter than McCann and asked him to join.

Useless toxic land owned by them was to be the new Celtic Park

McCann put his 5m in to stop the padlocks being put on the gate.

The cornerboys kept their hands in their pockets.

The real battle after that was won outside of the UK

Thousands of balance-tipping shares were held by old dolls.

Billy McNeill, Jim Craig and others went to see them and persuaded

them to sell.

Curly McCann was never in any fold.

He was a maverick and he brought himself in.

He had no allies and made no joint statements.

He had plenty of ‘spies’ and he was frequently in Scotland on business.

He used the media as well.

BBC Scotland and STV were fighting over him just before the takeover.

Both made special one off documentaries about him.

Curly

Only met him a couple and it was quick handshake and tourist photie

stuff.

He was affable but other folk who saw him more said he was a bit weird.


Heigh ho.

If I was getting a heart op I wouldn’t give a fvk if the surgeon had a

sense of humour or not.

We needed a triple bypass and a double colostomy btw.
