I really really hope that's not an image of it on the front of tomorrow's programme. Its ficking hideous and nothing like him.

I'll see the front of a programme tomorrow, but is there somewhere online to view the image today?

Why would they put it on front page of programme?

Must have been on the sherry when that was designed.

Disnae look great: he's smiling, which is a basic error.

The organisers should consider how this might affect donations to the fund.

On the other hand, maybe the media dept are playing an early Hunty Gowk.

Hopefully its not the design.
Very poor

Arabnophobia · 29/3/2019 7:44 pm

I hope it's just a bad artist's impression of the future design.

Would be a disaster and waste of money if it turned oot like that.

Doubt it's been created yet. If it has at least it can be melted doon and reformed into something that looks like it has to.

bowers · 29/3/2019 9:55 pm

Its still a long way off being made but that picture doing the rounds does it no favours at all.

Neither does the tshirt they are punting or msd Mike being involved

If this is the statue they intend to have built, who the fuck gave it the go-ahead, was it a concensus among the steering group?

If so I have serious doubts about the people running this, and as people who know me will tell you I have a great love of all things Warhol, and if this t-shirt is supposed to be a cool representation, I think it's a lazy, pish poor design that smacks of "they're United fans they'll buy it because of the cause, doesn't really matter what it looks like" for me it smacks of let's play on the heartstrings,and lets make you feel like a cunt if you don't buy into it.

I love the idea of honouring "Wee Jum," and not before time, but let's make it something we can all take pride in being part of, not what seems to be a "if you don't stand too close and the sun's no' in your eyes and if you try to squint a wee bit, and read the inscription on the base, you'll ken wha it is, type o' deal.

I really hope the steering committee haven't signed up for this abomination, and I hope I can meet some of the steering committee tomorrow and direct them towards Specsavers, because as it is, from reaction towards this and the t-shirts I think they've showed a complete lack of taste.

I don't know if folk will buy the tshirt because of the cause. Only 1 sold in the snug last week. It isn't the best tbf.

Ask one of them to come on here and explain whats going on with the tshirt and design please mate.

On holiday so not at game myself.

The t-shirts look like they've been knocked up in MS Paint in 5 minutes. I reckon you could knock up something a lot better in 10 minutes on an iphone app!!

Boiling the kettle and having a cup of coffee during that 10 min period also.

Bit of infighting amongst the steering group seemingly. One boy saying that's not the final image another saying it is.

that loony being involved will do them nae favours, hows he involved in every single united organisation onyway? How did anyone in this steering group think it was a good idea ti get him involved??

bowers · 31/3/2019 10:06 am

Very strange that they have a Celtic fan on the steering group also. Whos attitude on social media last night towards another lad on the steering group and others was ridiculous.

blackandtangerine · 31/3/2019 11:18 am

Never gonna raise the money needed while mb is involved.

Shedtastic · 31/3/2019 1:18 pm

I won't put money into any venture that Barile is involved with.

Beharder · 31/3/2019 1:25 pm

Time to start up Steering group for Change.

what happened there? any links loon

bowers · 31/3/2019 5:58 pm

It was on the facebook page. The post was taken down today.

If anyone from the steering group is on here can they explain why a Celtic fan is involved in the group?
