Is there something in the water in the Parkhead board room that turns executives into blithering morons who need to pinch every single penny? We have a history of higher-ups who refuse to open the reserves to spend when we absolutely need to. What the hell are we playing at?!

Almost like forcing people to grind themselves to exhaustion for every penny doesn't exactly make them feel romantic, want to fuck and create more little wage slaves to prop up this failing system. Little ones that are painfully expensive to keep at that...

![A screenshot of an e-mail/letter written to oppose the UK Supreme Court Decision; Screenshot reads:
"Dear [MP’S NAME],
This letter will be regarding FWS vs. The Scottish Ministers – link to judgement here: https://supremecourt.uk/uploads/uksc_2024_0042_judgment_aea6c48cee.pdf
I’m sure by now you’ll have heard of the recent UK Supreme Court ruling with regards to the legal definition of a woman. Through the course of this, I would appreciate it if you could keep in mind the following analysis performed by Jess O’Thomson. They’re a wonderful writer and their article on the matter explains a lot of the issues that our community has been faced with and that the Supreme Court did not consider
Here is the link to Jess’ work: https://www.wearequeeraf.com/uk-supreme-court-rules-that-trans-women-arent-women-under-the-equality-act-2010/ - “UK Supreme Court Rules That Trans Women Aren’t Women under the Equality Act 2010”
The history of transgender people has always come into conflict with regressive ideologies and they are often among the first targets of it as a “symbol of degeneracy”. They are the acceptable target of hate – they are the social group most currently vulnerable to fascism – despite what For Women Scotland would have you believe.
To quote from the draft of “On Defining Sex in Law” written for For Women Scotland by Micheal Foran; “Even Nazi Germany had a degree of tolerance for gender non-conformity.”1 – this is a gross lie and while it did not make it to the final draft of the letter it is both still hosted on the forwomen.scot website - and it speaks to the intent behind this group’s actions. This is not a campaign for truth or righteousness, this is a campaign of lies and hate. This is a campaign of misinformation perpetrated by those who would rather their son be a corpse than their daughter."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:k4sbv2kmnalceyuq2qwqhblj/bafkreifs4huho33nafmlfblsunu2zpxe5y6auxdo4hij4q4j6aimgi56k4@jpeg)

We had the biggest team in Germany on the ropes for almost the entire game and concede a scrappy equaliser right at the death when extra time was within our grasp.
You can't get a more Celtic way to go out of Europe than that.

I've said it before but I'll say it again - the Murdoch press are a cancer on society.
Chasing a charity away from an event with ill-conceived, poorly researched and horrendously biased 'journalism' - costing them possibly thousands of pounds - is low, even for them.
