Michael Nicholson has swooped to sign up a full team of Internet Bots for the new season.
It seems that Brian Wilson was correct in his claim on June 11 about the club being very active over the coming weeks.
Most fans assumed that meant signing players and strengthening the first team squad.
Chairman Wilson is a lifelong Labour politician. As honest and sincere as Anas Sarwar and Peter Mandelson.
Rather than prepare for the start of the SPFL Premiership and a Champions League Play Off Celtic have other priorities.
A whole squad of Bots
Internet bots (short for “robots”) are software applications programmed to automate repetitive, structurally simple tasks on the internet. They execute these actions much faster and more efficiently than humans, making up more than half of all global web traffic.
Have been signed up to share the good news on the Celtic X/Twitter account.
All liking and retweeting on today’s glamour friendly. How ‘unusual’.
All with very similar profiles. Nice, well balanced types. Ordinary ‘fans’ most with an interest in music, politics or both. The Bots don’t stand a chance.
NICHOLSON BATTLING AGAINST THE CELTIC SUPPORT
Within 10 minutes of any post on X/Twitter the club is inundated with critical replies.
Many refer to Not Another Penny, others feature images of Chris McKay and Nicholson. All are genuine and highlighting the complete disconnect between the club executives and those pesky anti-establishment customers.
The social media team at Adidas must be well aware of the hostility to their product launches.
The cash cow of two years has turned nasty. No longer will you read about fans pleading’ take my money Mr Adidas’.
Every Adidas launch is met with cynicism and hostility. Adidas doesn’t help itself with their contrived links to Lisbon. Alas the Lions are now viewed only as a marketing tool.
Less than 15,000 fans are expected for today’s glamour friendly against AC Milan reserves.
No signings have been made since the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough a week ago.
Meanwhile the Bots never stop. Unfortunately for Nicholson and Wilson Bots don’t buy £20 tickets for friendlies or rush out to spent £80 a week on the latest Adidas launch.
Take a look at ‘Conor O’Brien’ sounds like a genuine Celtic fan even if @aparicioKaro is an unusual title.
On Twitter for 12 years with just 19 followers. But prolific at liking, and retweeting. Rarely quoting or replying. ‘Conor’ has turned his attention to various languages down the years. He never shares anything on his love of music or politics.
Brodie Stewart also seems very shy about his own love of politics and music.
Fifteen years on Twitter and just 29 posts, Brodie also reposts for Boston Celtics.
There’s an inflexible, immovable and very restrictive system being adhered to at Celtic with no one having the authority to challenge.
It’s either being implemented by MN or he is under instruction from DD and hasn’t the minerals to challenge it.
It just isn’t feasible that an entire board can possibly act in this way year in year out without realising that it is inflicting severe harm on Celtic both financially and structurally.
Someone somewhere has laid down strict guidelines that cannot be strayed from and the lemmings that wear the suits follow them diligently.
The 300k story reinforces my view on this.
How can a deal that only needs a nudge in that direction to get done, for a player they obviously deem worthy, not get done for the sake of 300k?
And another thing, what does that attitude do to the players feeling of worth to his suitors?
Whatever fiscal rules the suits are adhering to, and the inbuilt inflexibility, is harming Celtic.
I just simply refuse to believe we have a board so stupid as to behave this way without something that binds it all together in the background.
Editor: July 2012 binds them together, closer than ever.
True, but what is it? Or what may it be?
I’ve started reporting the club posts as spam/fraud on every platform.
It may be as simple as the establishment club can never be allowed to fail again, and a strong, wealthy winning Celtic threatens that very existence.
With every league and cup victory we push them closer to irrelevance and financial disaster due to the fact they cannot access the only big money on offer to keep the wolves from the door….the CL.
And not only do we stop them accessing that money, we commit footballing suicide by seemingly deliberately missing out on it ourselves.
You’d swear it was orchestrated, if Sevco can’t have it, neither can Celtic.
The 5WA will have been written with a view to keeping Sevco solvent and relevant, even at our expense.
Give that man a CEEGAR…..
Bhoy4life, Post of the day…….
I’ve been saying this since the law was.changed to allow multi club ownership. Suddenly bloom at Hearts and the new Hun board (yanks) how do we know there hasn’t been a backroom business deal by desmond and the others to make the league more competitive at Celtics expense but desmond will be recompensed in other ways, competitive league, tight run ins, more sponsorship. It’s the only way to explain the last few transfer windows.
And just like MN they dont reply to a query.
