John Reid's time at Celtic

It has to be said that the fella has had one stormy time as the chairman of Celtic Football Club.

Never fully accepted by a lot of the Celtic support and disliked by many others because of the spin he put on such stories.

There have not been many high points during his stay, quite a good few low points, but what would you say was his funniest remark or statement at the club.

There have been quite a few gems so work away lads.

Judge him purely on this time at Celtic.
--------------------
Would you be saying that if he was a rapist? Or a murderer (which I would argue he is)?

The man along with many others took this country into an illegal war, he has blood on his hands.

I couldn't care less if he was the best thing to ever happen in Scottish football (which he is far from) I would still like to see him behind bars.

In that case are you against Rangers fans singing Rule Britannia?

I don't care for it myself but I don't see why it's relevant.

If they were singing 'Let's all bomb Iraq' I could see your point.

John Reid has broken international law. Unfortunately like many who think they're above the law (like Bush and Blair) they will never be brought to justice.

If John Reid had committed an illegal act in this country that had resulted in the deaths of thousands would you be happy for him to be Celtic chairman?

so are you saying that he hasn't committed an illegal act in this country....good because the law happens to agree with you.

The government he was part of committed a breach of international law by using military force against Iraq. This resulted in deaths of thousands of Iraqis and hundreds of troops from the UK and other countries.

By going against international law the government illegally killed thousands of people. What's so hard to understand about that.

As usual when it doesn't happen on your doorstep people don't care.

How about we cut all the bs out and realise that his time at Celtic was disatrous.

His time at celtic will remembered as the "Dark days" similar to the 1990's.

But hey, he was great at spin.

Really, how exactly, all they did was get Lennon out of a touchline ban due to a technicality.

And what has all your winging actually achieved? You still couldn't win the league.
