For those who ask “why did he go all extreme on this Twitter account?” this is the answer.

It is such an important fact that I’m pinning this. I haven’t moved.

@bphillpotts @codney67 @jckeysport7 @ttmygh @ElliotR1971 @DerbyshirePhil I know what my money’s on.

Always a classic.

@bphillpotts @codney67 @jckeysport7 @ttmygh @ElliotR1971 @DerbyshirePhil Or conversely, that’s all they do.

“A bit dry”

No kidding there. Jeez.

[Roger Mitchell @RPMComo]

Flavietto. Truly outstanding.

A potential superstar.

The moment Flavio Cobolli became a Grand Slam semifinalist at Roland Garros

He's up to #10 in the live rankings and will make his top 10 debut if Mensik doesn't win the title

This is his year.

@jonnyrmcfarlane Just as well the game is played in conditions that suit us more than them eh?

[Roger Mitchell @RPMComo]

@StickyFingerr55 Nobody pulls my eyes open in sport. Get that clear pal.

“Only now?” Try this from a year ago.

The violence of language, intolerance and general hatred in the comments here is telling.

Now many say this is only a very small part of the support. And I should relax.

I just don’t buy that.

But even if true, this is not the club “open to all”. It is dogmatic exclusion.

[Roger Mitchell @RPMComo]

Not a club that thinks like me anymore. This is a simply ridiculous statement as I see it. And I am entitled to that view.

Very very hard to keep the fire burning for this club.

[Roger Mitchell @RPMComo]

@paulmcb1971 I get that but the brand damage to the club is huge.

They are the brand ambassadors to the world. I’m frustrated people don’t see that.

[Roger Mitchell @RPMComo]

@paulmcb1971 But you will agree that when the other side say nothing, let these people dominate the narrative, that becomes “the club”. It is for me.

The board seem to want to bury their head and hope all this goes away. It will not.

@gth1508 @michaelsavage This article from 18 months ago I think was a good “tell”

@TheTributeAct I have no idea how good Robbie Keane is.

But I am so upset by all this that I’d fund part of his salary myself just to see these c**** meltdown.

And then be faced with an existential conundrum about wishing him success or not.

Celtic Fans For The Liberation Of Palestine (CFLP) has released a statement opposing the potential appointment of Robbie Keane as Celtic FC's new manager:

“As Celtic fans, we oppose the proposed appointment of Robbie Keane as manager of Celtic Football Club.

Celtic supporters have a long and proud history of solidarity with the Palestinian people. For us, Robbie Keane’s decision to manage Maccabi Tel Aviv during the genocide in Gaza is impossible to ignore. To choose to manage a club in Israel while, less than 40 miles away, the same country was using indiscriminate weapons of mass murder against a defenceless people is unconscionable.

Celtic was founded by a community shaped by the legacy of genocide, displacement and famine. Our club’s roots lie in solidarity with those who suffered injustice and oppression. We cannot forget where we came from, nor turn our backs on those facing genocide today.

At a time when Celtic requires unity and collective purpose, this appointment would be deeply divisive among the support. It would also represent a predictable and uninspiring choice at a moment when greater ambition is needed.

We urge the Celtic board to listen to supporters’ concerns and reconsider this appointment.”

[Roger Mitchell @RPMComo]

Graham is of course right.

But look at her standing there like that. The aggression. That face. The worst kind of nippy sweety.

Desperately desperately unpleasant.

Can’t believe so many went for that.

Literally just a criminal gang that was running Scotland for a time

@c_mcdonald3 🙏

[Roger Mitchell @RPMComo]

I can’t understand why the club, the plc, the “silent majority”, allows this. Dont they see how damaging it is to be represented like this?

Because these people are very vocal and visible.@JimSpenceDundee @jonnyrmcfarlane @Heavidor @GrahamSpiers @kmckenna63 @DannyUNIAharlem

[Roger Mitchell @RPMComo]

@vinstar @RogerPielkeJr @AndrewJWHaynes I’m sick of it Vincent. Couldn’t have been more vocal on the “disprezzo totale” I have for that brand.

[Roger Mitchell @RPMComo]

3 in the last 8. Not including Sinner and Musetti (also absurdly handsome).

The juxtaposition of the success of Italian men’s tennis with the failure of the nation’s football should be a Harvard case study.

[Santiago Capital @SantiagoAuFund]

So the Brits are finally waking up to what happened to one of their sons. Wait until they find out what has been happening to many of their daughters.

[Roger Mitchell @RPMComo]

@fergustp So I’m told Thomas. But being the silent majority and dismissing this is a huge error.

The brand of the club now is represented by these people. I can guarantee you that. I don’t live in scotland. I don’t meet the silent majority.

I see only this and the flags.
