The Battle To Save Celtic: Part 6 - Brian Dempsey, Rebel Consortium

[@TheCelticExchange]

Brian's the latest guest to join us in our comprehensive coverage of those dramatic events from 30 years ago! Please share your feedback with us in the comments section here 👍

[@pml5164]

Excellent work by Tino byreway. Brilliant series that will live long, I'd suggest.

[@ParadiseView24]

Amazing...from start to finish. Reflecting back perhaps the best way to remember both Brian and Fergus is the image of them on steps, on 4th of March 1994, should be a stain glass window to the entrance of newly upgraded Celtic Park. He maybe didn't want sun to shine on the goalie, Brian shines brighter than sun over us all still 🙂

[@michaelcourtney121]

Could you post a link to the audio from the save our Celts meeting? Great series of interviews, a must watch for all Celtic fans.

I've watched all of this series, and every guest has been fantastic. Those were very difficult times back then for us, but a lot of good people stepped up and got us through it. I do believe Brian is an unsung hero and a great Celtic man

[@TheCelticExchange]

Totally agree TheTone! 🍀

[@robertarbuckle8493]

Before seeing this interview I thought Brian Dempsey was a great man. He's gone up even more in my estimations now. Tino - you clearly hit the mark with Brian several times and got some great exclusives for the celtic fans.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Brilliant comment Robert, thanks!

[@fudroaster6291]

Absolutely Fredo. Brilliant stuff!

[@francisgreen8925]

Great to see Brian Dempsey. Most fans back in the day were drawn to him. I believe we should have a figure of his ilk on the modern day board who listens to fans and forwards their opinions. There has always been a detachment from the board and support. A great communicator. He maybe older but he still has the fans at his heart and soul. 🍀

[@pml5164]

As a lot of us do him, mate. A great man.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Agreed Francis. Madness that the old board decided to remove him. Tells you all you need to know I guess

[@MarkMcCann1888]

Micheal Kelly and Chris White sounded like a couple of scumbags to me

[@LT-nd3ov]

Brilliant series. Getting Fergus would be monumental and the icing on the cake 🍀

Unfortunately, I doubt the wee man has any inclination to do it. I'd imagine he's not watched a game in about 15 years.

Cheers Lewis, good to hear you've been enjoying the episodes. Just take the afternoon off work for this one, its a Friday!

[@mrgogolbordello]

All who have appeared in this fantastic series are such a humble group of men and hopefully, they will get even more recognition for what they did because it's the least they deserve. The people in positions of power at Celtic now could learn a few lessons by listening to how these men conducted themselves and the sacrifices they made for the club. Great work by Tino and all involved.👏👏 HH

Wow I didn’t think I would tear up at this but I did .

No matter what tho the famous lines he said was so perfect . Thank you Brian , also what an absolute masterpiece this whole series has been , this channel should blow up and rightfully so , the production values are really brilliant.

[@frankbhoy]

Still sharp as a tack and remembers it all. I’m surprised though he seems content with the current board’s vision given the foundations set by Fergus and he did his bit only for the fans.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Very sharp Frank, and a great storyteller!

[@1066wastrel]

I can`t believe in this entire series, that no-one has mentioned how badly we were mislead by the press back in the day & IMO, were the reason Fergus was booed, I believe the prospect of a strong Celtic both on & off the park was seriously worrying a predomenantly protestant ergo biased press, who gave us nothing but bad news, when in fact, the Celtic machine was gearing up for total domination, enter Martin & then Brendan who, with the financial backing we could always afford, showed just what could be achieved when the playing field was indeed level! Thank god for the internet!

[@TheCelticExchange]

Agreed 1066, the media played a huge part and we’ve tried to throw some light on that with the episode with Hugh 👍🏻

[@COYBIG1967]

We all matter as fans but there’s really something special about so many of the Glasgow born guys who were around the club from steins time on, I think it’s that the Glaswegians like me 😜 are such good story tellers . Not me tho 😂 Again I have to say Brian really is a special man , even if he doesn’t think it. One massive thing these videos have shown me is even tho I thought the old board was naive but I’m seeing more and more they were actually totally aware of the wrong things they were doing . It actually sickens me more and more . No matter what I say ppl will not agree but I truly think this current board although no where near perfect are not as bad in any way as the old board.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Cheers for watching @anthony and glad you enjoyed the episode with Brian

[@Multijoe84]

I was 12 in March 1994. Can remember going occasionally with my dad to games at the old ground. It was dire stuff. We are light years away from that now and it’s thanks to the foundations McCann and others laid in place. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either mad or bitter (like Michael Kelly still seems to this day!)

[@TheCelticExchange]

Haven't heard anything from Michael Kelly in a long time Joe and would be a good one to explore. Regrads what Fergus done though, he set the foundations in place for Celtic to be successful for decades after his exit.

[@TheCelticExchange]

Lot of 'ifs' there Martin, but the reality is that Rangers are struggling for a decent striker and that Joe Hart is doing his job, That's what its all about. The last two transfer windows have been poor but we still find ourselves in a position to have a big end to the season. Everything else can come after that.

Jungle was that empty under the kellys . The game on show must have been bad, Cause I can remember as we kid playing way my cars up and down the jungle steps and that was a game against aberdean. My full family are from birkenshaw . Dempsey must have loved living there . A loved my nana taking me to birkenshaw every week. Something was as always going my granpa my was the oldest brothers of the Docherty sadly my papa died when a was six months old but through my nana taking me to vist my papa brother and sisters . So felt like a knew my papa they installed old school values and morals and beliefs . A can see why my aunt aggy says uncle jj loved been round the Docherty house hold . There was always a laughter and good craic going on . Sadly all the community have been broken up they should have passed the house down to the next member of the family coming up . Thats my own opinion why community are all broken up you dont no your neighbor these days sadly . But weirdly birkenshaw has still got that old school community you could chap a door for some milk or sugar. Now everywhere else its sadly broken up Mr Dempsey a genuine gentleman class act had the pleasure of meeting him a few times also in my local church st brides in Bothwell.
