Paul.....not sure if you saw my post towards the end of the last thread, but if so, is this an issue that was discussed by the Slavic FA's?

Any feedback on how this US trip is being handled by the commercial side of the Club?
Previous trips to the US have been missed opportunities according to some of the posts that have appeared here from excellentCQNers of America.

Hopefully the new BBC deal will mean an end to the amateur hour that is Scotsport.
No Gordon Smith on their coverage either will be an added bonus.

Hi Paul
You are a man of integrity and have my full respect for all you have done with CQN. I wish you all success with CQN.
I assume you want the Collie issue from the last post just to go away. I'll make it easier for you - I'll take another few months away from CQN. I'll miss CQN more than CQN will miss me.
It isn't enthusiasts like me who should feel uncomfortable here - you have the power to root out the cancer.
All the best to you and the other CQNers - I'll miss you.
-
Check out Hugh Sproat of the Mothers, now thats TACHE!

Hope the bhoys do well in the US tonight. Another opportunity to enhance our reputation in that massive market.
I've had the pleasure of watching quite a few hoops games in the US over the years, mostly in New York's famous The Parlour. While many fans are Scots/ Irish ex-pats there have always been a comsiderable number of Americans who are coming to love the game. Whether soccer can ever make it to the big time in such a crowded market (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR etc) is debatable, but I think we can enhance our global name and games like this will certainly help.
It will also be interesting to see how young Jospeh performs against us. I have heard that we retain an interest in signing him.

PVSDP stick around and don't take the huff, mate. I'm half black and I welcome these debates from time to time as people sometimes need to know when they are out of order unintentionally or not. I had a book till I moved to spain a few years back and I heard stuff from our support and didn't get much back up when I challenged it.
Speaking of Spain - this is the land of taches but the new generation don't seem to be taking up the mantle. Can't think of one Spanish player with one. Anybody?
There is the wee guy with one on Futbol Int on catalan telly though...

Hang about mate you’re putting Paul in an awkward position.
Paul has already taken what he believes to be the appropriate actions.
It is up to Collie to do likewise. Whichever way he chooses to go.
But don’t throw the toys out of the pram just yet .
Give Collie his chance to respond, after all he did take a few hits and as you know from your own experiences, it is not particularly nice.
As far as I see, Paul is trying to stay above it and give broad licence to debate, to those of us on here who wish to do so.
Lets wait and see.

LoveJoy's a legend - thanks for that 'Tache' compilation. As well as the terracing, lack of diving headers & heavy pitches - i really miss seeing players with taches.

On that page, George Reilly and Paul Atkinson were mixed up by Panini - Paul Atkinson may not have 'a Sproat' but salute him for services to tache two years in a row. I suspect the beast influenced many of those taches. Rab Kilgour of St Johnstone looks like one of those photos from barbers in the 70s and those Scottish players with cloudy skies behind them always scared me a bit.
On top of taches, the first names of your modern footballers are a bit too formal - James and Steven and David not Jimmy and Steve and Davy. Andrew Cole indeed. There are a couple of Clives on that page - you don't get many Clives to the pound in the EPL - a Jeremy, a Hector even less. And the 70s gaves us Drews.

"Don't take the huff" "Don't throw the toys out of the pram". We're dealing with racism here guys - no excuses.
I'll hang about for a while in the hope of an unconditional apology from Collie. Has he the integrity? Otherwise, I'm better off out of here- life's too short fot that sort of dross.
-
lets get back onto the celtic debate.
i mean, he wont retract his statement. he had his chance already and didnt.
paul has already done so (well done, sir)
its also not the first time hes posted a racist remark on here, is it?
take him or leave him thats your choice. i know mine.
paul, (or anyone) do you know if we are still looking for a
top predator? i personally think we should be.
also on the bbc spl package.
stv legals are looking into their contract at the moment as they are not best pleased with the spl over this.i will post more when i hear more.

At 19/07/07 12:47, pvsdb
Don't bother leaving mate, it will be the same old same old when you come back.
The dug is racist. Every 3 months we have the same nonsense going on from that mongrel and we will again. And again and again.
Persistent inflammatory contributions hoping for a reaction and some sort of acceptability and understanding. Scrolling by is not the solution, hounding it out of town when it spews its manure is what is required, but you will never change its ways.
I can't believe anyone who has read this site for a year or more could give it the benefit of the doubt. I don't consider the coterie as Celticminded, just constant BS.
Hope we can get a good result tonight for our US fans after last years fiasco.
2-1 to the Bhoys!!
-
pvsdb - well, thank goodness there are people like yourself always looking for the opportunity to throw a strop over "racism".
I can't believe people read Collie's impenetrable prose never mind take any of it seriously.
-
So a lot of you agree he's racist and that he regularly posts stuff to provoke a reaction. Why, Paul, do you allow it?
Phil, what is your point exactly?
-
"Phil, what is your point exactly?"

I am a relatively new poster to CQN and have quickly learned to scroll past any of his posts.
If more football minded people do this and ignore his posts , he may well soon get fed up and leave.
-
pvsdb
Like you, I have gone into self-imposed exile because of the holier-than-thou attitude of the poster(s) you refer to, but checking in occasionally to see what's going on.
For what it's worth, I believe that poster to have posted the phrase intending it just as his/her/it's explanation was, but the other, more offensive meaning was not lost on him/her/it. After all, has he/she/it not had previous for the same thing in the past?
I'm sure he/she/it is enjoying the attention his comment intended. This is, of course, just my opinion!
Stick around my friend. You are more valued than he/she/it is...
-
Thanks Mike for yr support but why do so many of us have to put up with his manure?
Its up to collie and Paul to do the right thing. I'm not attacking Paul, I just can't see why he tolerates these constant controversies without a demand for an apology and a promise of acceptable behaviour.
CQN is Celtic site and should be dedicated to Celtic chat. Thats all I want.
-
And now to football...
Isn't it a bit worrying that Thomas Graveson is looking more and more like he is going to be content to sit on £45k a week for the next 2 years, when it's patently obvious that Gordon Strachan is not going to use him again.
I read today that Bryan Robson has given up on signing TG as he is waiting on Celtic to pay up the remainder of his contracted wages.
Now I might be getting some of this wrong on the minor details, I'm sure more enlightened posters can correct me on those, but do some players have no scruples? Is the money more important than his self-esteem? TG is in danger of losing any support he may have had from Celtic fans if he sticks to that standpoint!!!
-
If Collie isn't banned, then I shall join pvsdb on a self enforced permanent absence from CQN.
Celtic websies must have standards.
Kind regards

pvsdb...
The more people entertain those particular posters, the more they will stay around and feed on the oxygen supplied by it.
It's not up to Paul to ban certain individuals, although I'm not even sure he can. Where would he start? Where would he end? I think all he CAN do is delete posts, and if he went down that route, he could find himself deleting posts all day, when he is already a very busy man.
IMO he went down the right road by deleting the offending post and admonishing the poster as soon as he became aware of it.
-
PVSDB - We're trying to have a debate here about bringing back the Tash.
Put some effort into that. You've made your point about the offender, You've made your point about the offender again & then you've made your point finally about the offender again. Everyone agrees with you, why continue?
-
pvsdb
I'm with you on the coterie debate, however there are too many regular posters here who, i think, give kojo et al deference because they think his is, or is close to some one famous and they like to wallow in some sort of reflected cyber glory, sad sooks that they are
-
miketw10,John, PVSDB
The best way to treat posters like this is to completely ignore there posts , they will hopefully get fed up as I beleive they are very much attention seekers..
I usually just scroll down past there posts and read/respond to football topics about celtic..

miketw10
Good man so lets draw a line and not mention them again as you and I and many others know that they enjoy all this infamy.
Football stuff...
I would keep Balde until a decent replacement was bought , as TFOD are building a Smithesque bully team and we need guys like Balde to match them.
Also IMHO
Pressley and McManus are too slow and just SPL average stoppers..
O'Dea and Kennedy are at least a season away from being the finished article
Caldwell...no comment
-
BSCP
I agree, to an extent, so are we all going to ignore the poster in question, in the future, regardless of how attention seeking his posts are?
-
back to fitba...
I think if we play Kennedy and McManus together for a period of time, then they will develop into a great centre half partnership for the bhoys.
-
John
I do and the other two posters I know personally also ignore his and his merry bands posts...
It is an entirely individual decision to make.
Its Celtic and football that matter to me on this site...

I believe TG is on around 30k basic, still a fair whack.
I don't mind him staying as he still can make a decent contribution now he has some better players around him.....as long he stays in the opposition half as he has proved to be such a liability when in ours:)
-
Glen, your scenario might cause problems for some, but it is only one scenario. Don’t get too hung up on details at the moment. If something like this can be pushed through there will be a solution to accommodate.
Psv, your carefully worded “he’s racist”….”Paul, why do you allow it?” is unfair on me, I did delete the comment remember. I have taken a considerable amount of personal abuse on here without once asking my attackers to leave the blog. I force no one to read or contribute, and I have never blocked an IP address, no matter how aggressive that source has become to me. I do impose rules and when the rules are broken I delete the comment, which I do a couple of times a week, mostly for minor offences.
As such, Celtic Quick News reflects magnificently on the Celtic support for the standards on display.
-
just seen the most fantastic tache at Victoria Station. Very 'Harry Enfield' scousers esque
-
Well said Paul! As one who has had a pop at some of the things you have said in the past I would concur that you treat the site as an open forum and in an environment that fosters open (but courteous) debate. Even if you do point blank ignore some valid points ;-)
Hopefully, this tedious, tedious matter can be put to bed now.

BSCP/John
I feel a bit 'uneasy' about being part of a plot to ostracise certain individuals. I'd rather just do something like that of my own volition.
I know that might sound weird, but I wouldn't want to be branded as being a member of a 'lynch-mob'. I'd rather it was left to each person's own conscience.
That poster has his/her/it's own agenda to follow, just as you, I, and everyone else does.
Live and let live is how I see life, and an apology is all that should be necessary, although I can't see that happening! One can't, after all, apologise for something if one doesn't think they've done anything wrong... can they?
-
I think the attention seeking of certain individuals on this site is quite shameful. They say something to provoke a reaction and then we find there is no truth in them. Do we get an apology? No, we get more of the same nonsense and people lap it up every time.
As a result of this I will not be back on this site until John and Pvsdb enforce their ‘self imposed’ ban.
I cannot even scroll past their posts, as that very action confirms the lies they have spread and the hurt they have caused.
Shame on you gentlemen.

A bit in the paper over the weekend on the male/female prizewinners at Wimbledon. The winners receive the same amount, and one article pointed out that Federer won 52 games in total, Williams 17.
I asked my 8 year-old how many games she thought Federer won on his way to becoming champion this year. 'Them all, dad' was the reply.

I hear what you're saying, but my point is that it doesn't look at all like GS is going to play him (Graveson) again, or surely he would have brought him on at some point during one of the friendlies.
The fact that he has flown out to the States with them is confusing me no end!!!!

I will say no more on this matter

I like to think TG could do a job as it sometimes takes players a season to settle , lets give him at least until january to prove his worth...
Although WGS may already have decided..

Now equal prize money at Wimbledon: that is pc nonsense gone too far.
Let's get back to centre halfs.
I would sell Bobo, say thank you and goodbye to Pressley, start with McManus/ Kennedy and have O'Dea and Caldwell in reserve.

I suppose footballers reflect society at large where there are few 'taches these days.
Goatees are more common, I see Benitez has one now. Many goateed players ?

Agreed... on both points!
On another point, the centre half one, I see Elvis not only harbours hopes of extending his contract, but of being skipper too... Pressley charts Celtic captaincy

He's planning to send TG ahead of the rest to Newcastle....Oklahoma

Sorry to disappoint you John, I am just as happy being a hypocrite as you.

Indeed, and very, very few (any?)shaven-headed players in those Panini pages. Did Duffield not have a goatee for a bit, but as a pundit?
Anyone read 'That's me in the corner' by Andrew Collins, about his life as a music journo etc? Pretty good.
-
miketw10
I certainly hope he does not get it..no harm to the guy , just dont think he is good enough for us.
I personally would not know who to give it to..
no stand out certs...maybe Boruc to help keep him and the fact that he is almost guarenteed a game.
-
The baldest I remember from the Panini days was Armstrong of Middlesborugh.

BillyStarksCurlyPerm
That's always generally been my view on TG, that he would improve in his 2nd season and have said as much more than once......but seeing another headless chicken performance in our 1st pre-season game still has me shaking my head.
-
Bloke109
Does THIS count? ;o)

It's also hard to see where TG will get a game ahead of Brown, Donati, Hartley, Sno, Jarosik, etc...
-
sdstim
I know , I was using "its because hes palying beside a dead legged Lennon" excuse to my mates last season.But after the pre-season game I had not a leg to stand on...
I think he would be better in a five man midfield..but we cant just change style for him..
-
I very much doubt TG will ever play a competitive game for Celtic again.
-
danny
YUP!
He was follicly challenged!

danny, top work, i remember him.
and lovejoys, how could I forget the comb-overs! uWE sEELER OF Germany, Noel Brotherston who played for NI was up there too, Johnny Metgod of Forest etc. Wilfred van Moer of Belgium in Europa 80 - but he was about 50. Archie Gemmell I spose, Eamonn Bannon lost it up top too.
In that book I posted about, Andrew Collins mentions Barry Venison as a tv celebrity of his time. Now I know with his mullet it's the other end of the follicular scale, but anybody know what happened to him, tv wise?
-
eh.. bobos contract. What age is he and when does it expire. I love the big man but he hasn't seemed fit/comitted for a long long time. Will anybody take him on?
Fans here in spain really rate him from what they've seen and he's always quoted.

Paul, well done.
Re VAT and all that....one of the causes of 'confusion' is that agents sometimes work for more than one party in a transaction. This is mental. I mean, completely nuts.
FIFA say you can't do this. People do, and are quite open about it. Inland Revenue seem to use FIFA's logic to disallow VAT claims where clubs pay agents who are also working for the player. IR's logic is, you can't be employing the agent when the agent works for the player, so we are disallowing the VAT claim.
I really do think that UEFA could create a 'Transfer Center' and require every transaction to go through this center.
Chelsea are reported to have paid AGENTS 16 million pounds over 3 years!!! When there is no transparency, when you can act for more than one party, and when the numbers are huge....then you have fertile ground for corruption.
The amount of money going out of the game should be of real concern. While few people outside of Leeds seem to have much sympathy for that club....does anyone remember the Harry Kewell transfer? Leeds ended up getting very little of that fee.
The clubs are allowing this to happen. They compete off the park as they do on the park. They enter into crazy deals aimed at short term solutions to promotion, relegation or CL qualification problems.
A central clearing house that allowed only club staff to participate in transactions between clubs, that required representatives to have clear contracts with one, and only one party.....and who publicised details of deals once they were signed....that would be a solution.
In North America, contract details are commonly published. Doing this, and including the agents' cut would bring a spotlight on the vultures that are feeding off our game.
OK. That's me done....:)

Ha! Just beat ya! 80P
-
Weeron,
I agree totally that transfers fees, and all fees, payments, etc., involved should be made public.
The big difference in U.S. sport is that there is no transfer fee. Players are either traded (swapped), become free agents (Bosmans) or are released to join a new team. CLub to club payments just don't exist so there is no cut there for the agent, who works exclusively for the player.
Will we ever abolish transfer fees in football?? A big question and one with enormous ramifications for the game world wide. I can see a day when a challenge will come to the current system, perhaps under restraint of trade.

Paul....You're right cross that brigde if we come to it. I have heard that some members of FIFA (and maybe some of UEFA now we have Platini) believe regional leagues are the future, the world over if we are to keep football competetive at club level.
One thing I'd be keen on, which could go someway to solving the afforementioned problem would be a regional Division 2. Assuming an Atlantic League would have clubs such as Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV, Anderlecht etc (I'm speaking historically, not current form) I am convinced even a second tier of Antwerp, Gothenburg, Aalborg, Willem II, AZ Alkmaar, Boavista etc would still be far more of a step up for the likes of Hearts and Aberdeen in terms of finance and quality than playing St Mirren, Gretna and Inverness.
On another note, if Leeds go out of business (couldnt happen to nicer guys!) whats the possibility of taking their place in the English pyramid similar to what happened with MK Dons. We move Leeds to Celtic Park, change the shirts to Hoops and change the name to Celtic FC. Our SPL place could go to our u21's......pie in the sky but I'd be for it.
-
I lived near Ipswich in the early 70s and went to a fair few games for three seasons or so. Mick Mills was one player I could just never take to, though.
Several years later I was with a bunch of friends for a weekend in Manchester and we went to a Man U - Southampton game. Mr Mills was playing right back for the Saints that day and we decided to abuse him, just for something to do. At one point he took a throw in just in front of us and gave a bemused look as if to ask what the hell we were up to. Oh, how we laughed.
-
OK, one more thing.....
Edward, I love the fact that you feel comfortable on this board, and would never want to cause you any discomfort. So I hope this doesn't....
You mentioned the gersforum quite often. In fact, after you talked about it some months ago, I went in undercover. Don't tell them....:)
Anyway, as you say, there are some thoughtful posts on there, However, they do have a thing about one of Scotland's greatest managers. This doesn't fit with the rule you posted. No abusive, threatening, defamatory, racist, obscene or ilegal content.
Given the (deserved) beating that our canine 'friend' took on here, I really don't see that the standards there are equivalent to the ones that Paul sets here.
I needed to get that off my chest, not to have a go at you, but because I find their campaign to be among the worst things the supporters of that club have ever done.
I'll say no more on that subject. I should warn you all though, that I am at home today, and if it rains, it will be a long day for you all.....:)
-
Noel,
I remember you making a comment a wee while ago about us having our first bus run.
Didn't have a clue what that meant,but everything has become clear today.
If I know waht you meanttoday is like the way into Butlins,Ayr,on a sunny Sunday in the Glasgow Fair.
Or don't I have a clue what you were referring to.

I think the main objective tonight is to be competitive.
After the last couple of visits to USA questions were asked by organisers about how seriously we took these games.
They accepted that we were there partly for conditioning work, but, mainly for the exposure and money.
If we look as though we are going through the motions for a third time we will find reduced terms next time.

At least tonight we are playing a 'select' rather than a real team which should even things up a bit.

Thanks Paul for your comments at 14.30 and I'm genuinely sorry that you feel I have been unfair on you. I feel certain extreme behaviour deserves an apology with the sanction of exclusion - you take the view that it is better to cut the offensive item and await an improvement in behaviour. We disagree. But that's ok.
I promise no more from me on this subject. Unless provoked!
All the best!

Posted on old post due to senility!
Well done Paul for the action against Collie. I, like many others, just scroll past his postings and had done so re. this one but on reading the comments went back to read it. Absolutely not what,I would hope, the majority of Celtic fans would want to be associated with. I think Ritchie Donovan summed it up perfectly.
Collie, I hope your tail's been neutered.
On another subject this American insight into our history and present team is worth a read (like the Boruc comparison).

WeeRon ;- I agree that some of the content leaves a bit to be desired and I don't try to defend that in any way. I wasn't holding it up as an example of all being good, I just found it strange that so often on here someone will say of a post, leave that to the huns or that suits the other side better than us. Like the Scots and the Irish, Rangers and Celtic fans are a lot more alike than many care to admit.

On the Tache Memory lane jaunt - The funniest thing i have ever seen in Football was involving moustachiod St Mirren midfielder 'Tony Fitzpatrick' He was running with the ball in the now defunct Tennents Sixes when the astroturf carpet came away from under him. Next thing you know Fitzpatrick is lying on the deck with a bust nose & his brush mouser is all claret.
Edward - do you own footage of the infamous Alex Miller comedy cramp hop. think it was a Rangers v Aberdeen cup final in the late 70's. It was also a v humourous football moment
-
The view is there is an Astro-turf pitch laid and marked with floodlights. One grass pitch down and payable, the other three grass pitches are built and the grass is starting to grow. The main building needs some work as do the approach roads, but we will be in soon, then the view fae the windae will be wonderful.

Pulleeezzzeee all you shocked and stunned CQN'rs, Get a life will you?
Collie's fairly innocuous and only mildly potentially racist expression hardly deserves the head in the hands, gnashing of teeth and much worse we have heard over the past 24 hours.
To all of you righteous posters out there how many of you actually had heard the word Nig nog( hush ma mouth!!)before or at best since you were very young.How many of you knew what it meant. How many even noticed it.Many of you hear much worse at work, at school for those mortally wounded by the Mutt's utterance, and of course at that dear old green place Celtic park on a Saturday.
I don't see you all rushing into print then or shouting aloud at the game for the perpetrators to desist or you'll tell a steward.
Paul has made his decision( wee bit high handed I thought and a bit late) and that should have been enough to satisfy those offended by Collie's dastardly( see what I did there)outpouring.
Collie, if you read this, perhaps a small token of regret for any unintentional offence caused and a willing attempt to avoid any such wordsmith misinterpretations in the forseeable future or at least till next week when all will be forgoten and some other poor Chink, Paki, MIB, Pape, Fenian, DOB etc will be getting laldy for whatever offends the blogger of the moment.
I sincerely hope no one will leave the site especially 'the dug'.

Celticlover,
Just read that article you posted. Their explination of the scotish mix of football and religion is infuriatingly over simplistic. And phrases like "for Protestans, Rangers are the only bet". Hardly a insightful view from them really. And I agree with you on the Boruc compariosn. I very much doubt a man who has sucsesfuly kept the likes of Rooney, Ronaldo, Kaka, Saha, and Boyd (spot the odd one out) for considerable periods of time, is inferior to a MLS keeper, even if he is their "All star". And with regards to the stadium, I fail to see how comparing a 26K seater stadium to the second bigest club owned stadium in the UK represetns an advantage to anyone.
Thanks for posting this. I love having soemthing to whhinge about

Previous visits to the USA have seen Celtic teams fail to generate either passion or panache, perhaps with one notable exception three years ago in the city of brotherly love.
Tonight however, I hope the trips to Switzerland and the South have enabled the team to gain match fitness and work out the short close season rustiness.
The midfield, from my brief views, seems to be in fine flow and form. They will be opposed by a collection of players who are well into their season and are obviously in peak form, otherwise they would not have been chosen to represent the best of MLS. This will prove a stern test for Brown and Donati and a good 45 minutes from both will augur well for the season ahead. Shalrie Joseph will be eager to retain Celtic’s interest in him and will relish the physical contact and contest with Brown.
The strikers have found the net, even the goal shy Miller, and I look forward to our midfielders pushing forward to create openings and supplement the front two.
The nature of tonight’s game will almost certainly see a high number of players being used, especially in the second half as legs tire in the thin humid atmosphere and the MLS team is rotated to accommodate the whole squad. The probable starting XI should be a reflection of the team which will see us through the qualifying stages of the CL.
Initial responses to the pre season programme have largely been positive, but tonight will be the first real competitive test we have faced. A lack luster showing will bring forth the cracked crests, doubters and mineshafters who are quick to pass judgement on Gordon’s signings, team selection, interviews and choice of footwear. There is no doubt that any weaknesses in our preparation and team makeup will be highlighted and exploited tonight.
Management will have a real chance tonight to view our preparedness and still have a window in which they can take remedial action if necessary, whether this be in the form of signings or the promotion of fringe players to a more prominent role.
ESPN will provide national coverage for tonight’s contest and the hoopla associated with the game will help raise our profile, providing we show the adventurous side of our game and decline from being negative and cautious. We need to play football the way Gordon has promised we would with team three. The Celtic way. Forward.
Hail hail.

Celticlover, see the auld hauns!!!
Edward, please. Call them Rangers, not “huns” :-)
Hugh, 1986, Arsenal 0-2 Celtic.
We went there as champions and took an absolute pasting but Arsenal could not put the ball in the net. We scored two late goals with Alan McInally getting a cracker.
Great trip. Down on the overnight service bus. We stopped at a service station and the police, wary of football traffic, waved down the driver the entrance:
PC: “What are you carrying?”
Bus driver: “Passengers!”
An urban hero was created right there and then.

The problem is with the dug is that it is not the first or even the second time that he has displayed more than a hint of racism. If it was a singular incident then it could be construed as 'unintentional'.

Some comments offend some people more than others,regardless of topic.
To presume that one insult is worth calls for bannings and public flogging,whilst other,far more offending(to some)insults are ignored,is just as offending as the original comment.
Good grief people,you ought to gie yersels a shake.

Repeat offender,that's me.
As I said,some things offend some people more than others,but at least Paul deletes them all with equal gusto.

That 4-3 at OT was brilliant. Sutton on Beckham, Lubo was great and we bullied them.
Worst was Ray Montgomerie's testimonial at Rugby Park. I think Weighorst got injured and Montgomerie didn't as would be customary applaud the Celtic support which, as per, outnumbered the home support. I think I may have booed him. A good day out was Jimmy Phillips testimonial at Bolton, another conundrum - I went but again came away knowing we were being used.

a poor Celtic support at Rugby Park that day (perhaps the absentees were right) but they missed Larsson scoring. I defintely remember that. It was also wolfbhoy93's first ever away match.

I'm in a quandry about tonight's game. Confident and at the same time almost apprehensive about being confident.
Then again, MON THE HOOPS!
3-1 Celtic.
Has anyone signed Sionko while I was away? :^)

Paul
That road story reminds me of the only funny thing my brother in law has ever said (only kidding Peter).
After some jostling on the queens highway, they pull up at traffic lights. Irate taxi driver winds window down for exchange of verbals, Peter reciprocates.
This is the cleaned up version.
Taxi driver. "Whit you playin' at pal?"
Peter "Taxis."
Andy, those are my two also. I think Man U was 4-1. August 1966, my first game with Dumbarton Phoenix CSC.
Did we not also beat wg's other team 2-1 or something at Celtic park in the nineties?
-
The way I see it. Paul is in a difficult position as one of his fellow happy clappers has made a racist remark.
A poster who under his many guises is always praising Paul.
Oh and the "lets close ranks and ignore him brigade" Can you people not think for yourselves?
-
I'd say wanting to sign Sionko shows independent thought.
Nobody else thinks they should sign him :)
-
mr angry
No.
Ban the banners.
We also had a good game against Derby County, must have been around 1968. Anybody remember that? The score was 2-2,3-2?
-
Winningemmell, you better believe I do.
Hugh, Peter has talent.
Mr Angry, some people do seem obsessed by one particular person. I fail to see my difficulty, the comment was deleted with comparative ease.
-
Paul your pre-season choice is a good one.
A few of us went down on the overnight bus a few days before the game to drink heavily with friends in London.
We went to catch a train about 7.30am and the station was full of black and blue Rangers fans sleeping on the floor.
Rangers had played Spurs the day before and it all kicked off, hence the wreckage we found.
Scary time back then with those half and half ned hats.
-
Paul, it's true some people are obsessed with other individuals. I personally have no time for such people.
Now back to the subject of Sionko.... ;^)
Seriously though, what's your scoreline prediction for this evening? Even add some scorers if you feel particularly prophetic.

andycolo @18.38,
I remember the thrashing of Man U very well. I remember the Spurs game even more because I was suffering the worst case of toothache I ever had all the way through. It was a lovely sunny day at Hampden too, for some reason. What made it even better was a comment by one of the Spurs team, who had played our sou' side neighbours the year before and reckoned their football was then years out of date.
At the risk of causing offence, (I think it was funny), the best, saddest comment I've ever had to endure was when Mikelechenko (sp?) took the field at Celtic Park. The youngster next to me was bawling the odds at this "orange atheistic hun" and was utterly confused when I said that, since he hailed from the Ukraine, he likely to be either a Catholic or an Orthodox atheistic hun.
-
CelticSephiroth, I am told this will be a touch match. MLS All-Stars have an excellent reputation to defend against European teams, however; Celtic by a goal.
Lostrambling, that must have been a scary sight.
Lovejoy, excellent idea.
Toonbarmy, I’ll post a link.

The History (Up To 1996) - Feel Free To Scroll Past
Celtic first met Arsenal in a friendly match at the Manor Park, Plumstead on Feb 15, 1897 and the match was to be indicative of many a Celtic trip down south. Arsenal, who featured former Celt, Jimmy Boyle, were cruising at 4-1 but the Bhoys returned fire to win 5-4 thanks mainly to a Davie Russell hat-trick..... on the Christmas Day of 1906 (officially the 20th anniversary of Arsenal's founding) Celtic again triumphed in London by 2-0,,,,,,,, the defeats must have hacked the Gunners off, for as the century wore on the Londoners formed something of an unholy alliance with the darnel, interrupted only by Celtic's legendary win in the Coronation Cup on May 11, 1953, Bobby Collins scoring the only goal of the match.... fast forward then to the summer of 77 in Australia when the Bhoys and Reds clashed in a 4-team pre-season tournament. Paul Wilson's brace put the Celts two ahead after only 25 minutes before Malcolm MacDonald reduced the deficit on the half-hour only for Ronnie Glavin to restore the two-goal margin almost immediately. Pat Rice countered for the Londoners in the second period but Celtic held on for 3-2 and the trophy (minus King Kenny).... Arsenal gained more than a modicum of revenge a year later at Celtic Park when they unceremoniously dumped the Hoops 3-0, 'nuff said....on November 25, 1980 the Bhoys were back in the Big Smoke for Sammy Nelson's Testimonial which ended goalless.... on August 4, 1984 Charlie Nicholas returned to Paradise in the yellow-and-blue of Arsenal, scored (a penalty and rather reluctantly) for the Gunners but lost by 3-2, the home goals being shared by McClair, Colquhoun (!) and Melrose (!!)...... in the summer of '86 it was back to the Clock End to see the Hoops outplayed for long spells but still register a fine 2-0 win (Iscariot and McInally)..... the archgubbing occurred at CP a year later when Arsenal thrashed us 5-1 on August 1st - incredibly Martin Hayes got two for Arsenal, Charlie scored and ML2er, Tony Shepherd got our consolation..... finally Liam Brady took his new charges down to his old stomping ground in a match to honour Paul davis which ended 2-2 and featured spectacular goals from Wdowczyk and Nicholas, by now happily back in the Hoops although we wore green shorts that night, I watched from the North Bank, ah the memories

I can swear to you in all honesty. Not once.
However the word I used was "publicaly", I supose its true that a couple of guys waiting in line at Ladbrokes may quitely engage in an unpleasnt racist crack, tho Iv never heard it, Id be niave to say it dosnt happen.
But the way you wrote your post I asumed you meant chants, or loud shouted outbursts of racism, and that I can asure you not once have I met at Parkhead.
And I can also promise you that my old man is not on the board (he suports the other side as far as I know) and my collar hasnt come through the post yet. ;-)

I'd forgotten about that 5-4 game. What a comeback.
I'm not sure if February counts as a pre-season friendly, but in the spirit of the thing that's the one for me.

Anyway, if I go to bed now I can finish my Ballantine's (makes me feel at home), read a bit of my book, get a good night's sleep and still be able to start the day the Celtic way.
Goodnight all.

Paul, guys...
Celtic's visits to North America have been disappointing. Tims travel for thousand's of miles, bring the kids, grand kids, neighbours, friendly locals, etc..... with a view to showing off our pride and joy.
Sad to say, we frequently diasppoint. Usually because we should be playing easier games at that stage of our fitness.
I was lucky enough to be at 2 games where we didn't fall on our faces. The most memorable was against Roma at Toronto's Skydome. 50,000 plus in one of the world's most unique stadia. In my view, given the demographics, we should be playing an Italian side in Toronto every year.
But anyway.....I get the sense that we are a little farther along both in fitness and in shopping. The USA team will be fit and skillful....and motivated.
I'll be happy with a result that doesn't have me hiding in my office tommorow.

I have often chuckled at the clever couplets of Collie´s posts though i didn´t always get the meanings. What has been irking Collie and his aliases for some time is that Bobo is picking up a big salary whilst standing on the sidelines. But whose fault is that´s? Not the big Man´s. This frustration has led to this less than fortunate choice of words. Collie and the coterie have always stressed the importance of getting into order Celtic´s dosh, cash, dough, readies......
Maybe the problem is the colour of money. Those who put money before equality are on shaky ground.
I think you are dealing with this correctly Paul, but I just wanted

Use of the term 'Nig Nog' in the 21st Century is indefensible and you know it. It requires an unconditional, sincere apology, not one of your vaudeville rhymes. Your failure to do the honourable thing does not surprise me - you are a sad, racist bigot.
Your continued presence here means I have to leave and I expect you will wallow in that.
Good luck to you, all you genuine CQNers, I think we have great season ahead, the best for many years. I won't be celebrating it on CQN but that's my loss.
It is not about seeking publicity, not about being precious, not about being 'PC' - just about having standards of decency and intelligent social communication. As I said before, I will miss CQN more than CQN will miss me.
Here's to the Tims - with Scott Brown our best signing since Henrik!
Bye.
-
Collie,
have always been a fan - missed the offending post - but if you really called someone a Nig Nog, you are a disgrace to the jersey. You took a racial slur, used it in a pejorative way.
There'll be a don't-take-it-so-seriously brigade, but c'mon, it's wrong. Donald Findlay used to argue that using the word fenian was in fact jocular.

And if no-one gives any signing rumours or talks about 1970s taches, and unless Bloke109 stops typing nonsense, then I'm off.

Here's a crazy concept Collie - serious ideas need serious language. When you stand accused of racism by a group of fans to whom it is completely unacceptable, it is time to drop the high school poetry and communicate like an adult.
It's bad enough having to scroll past your cryptic drivel normally, but particularly annoying having to wade through it looking for an apology.
And never mind apologising about people's "sensitivities", as though we're a bunch of old aunties who overheard a naughty word.
It's not sensitivities that's the problem, it's racist language.

We have a game tonight.
Post was made with offensive intent.
Offense was taken and occupied many bytes on the thread.
Comment was deleted.
Apology was made, if somewhat reluctantly.
So let's concentrate on what brings us together.
Tonight could give us a clear indication of how well we do in the season ahead.
Someone earlier posted about the 4-1 annihilation of a ManU side at CP in pre season game 1966/67.
ManU had a host of stars, the English players fresh from winning the world cup, alongside Best, Crerand and Foulkes. I can't remember if Ian Ure was with them at that time.
We didn't know it then but it was the harbinger of a memorable season.
'GG hoping tonight is a watershed moment.

WGS being interviewed by a US "soccer" expert on 5 Live. The guy just asked why 2 of the world's greatest clubs, Celtic and Chelsea, would choose to play MLS sides.
We can criticise the Yanks for many things but this guy has obviously been doing his homework!
The match is kicking off at 2am UK time.
3-1 the Hoops. Two from wee Scott McD and a "PK-goal" from JVoH.
Hail Hail y'all!

Sorry Collie.
I meant WITHOUT offensive intent.
'GG chagrined.

Firstly, Paul was absolutely right to delete the comment. The expression used by Collie is widely recognised as racist; and even if Collie’s position is accepted it was an unfortunate coincidence, at the very least, for it to be used to describe an African person.
However, to my clear recollection, my mother (who died last year aged 79, to put it in context) used to employ that expression in the way described by Collie – as a race neutral piece of mild criticism of someone behaving idiotically (such as her son – I’m Caucasian by the way).
So, on balance, and for what it's worth, Collie gets the benefit of the doubt from me. But only just.

So in your view it's ok to be offensive? And then give an unambigious apology?
Perhaps if, perhaps, you have been on this site you would know that it's not the first time it has offended in a totally racist post, so before you get on your high horse...think.

As far as I am concerned it is time to draw a line under the Collie/racism issue. The point about the offence lying not in the intent but in how it is received is well made. Having said that Collie has apologised both for the offence and for the problems it has caused Paul. The apologies were explicit
“Tae all the offended Souls.... I am Sorry for whit ah done tole!
So ah repeat it loud an' clear....
All ye who's Sensitivities ur Offended.....
Please Forgie Me ,for it wiz NEVER Intended!”
and
“Paul ah am sorry ah goat ye inta dis Stramash “
If some would prefer this was not expressed in verse then in my view this is immaterial. The meaning is clear and unambiguous and that is what matters. I know Collie/the Coterie are not to everyone’s taste but I feel this has gone on for too long now. Collie has been accused of being a serial offender but this is not something I have picked up in my admittedly infrequent visits however I shall bear in mind this episode Ok as far as I am concerned it is time to draw a line under the Collie/racism issue.

So bottom line from me Collie is you have apologised and the line is drawn but be careful from now on.

To answer your earlier question. Yes the intrepid M.T. Good company. I know you will enjoy his big day but don’t be conned into going to Ibrox’s gates to have your photo taken prior to the wedding. You might live to regret that.
Collie
We used to have a saying when I grew up in Glasgow.
Never say sorry. It is a sign of weakness.
What a load of tosh.
I have grown to realise it is the very ability to accept that one has made a mistake or whatever and apologise with sincerity and without reservation that shows strength of character. It may also go a long way to maintaining credibility.
I have found that people will hold you in higher esteem if you can be honest in your failings.

We'll all draw our own conclusions on the person who made the comment and the actions of the Blog owner who removed them without hesitation.
I think that this place has shown that it has high standards. I'm sure they will continue long after your umpteenth promise to exit stage left.

Okay You're right. Blueberry is blue. But remember how many thousand years people had to wait for a success. Only several dozen years ago they got the bush which is about 1 yard high. Even if there are blue fruits they are small. Green fruits are big (melon) as Celtic is.

That Manchester United friendly in August 1966?
Their team was :-
Gregg, Dunne & Brennan (!), Crerand, Foulkes & Stiles Best, Sadler, Charlton Law & Connelly.
Celts - Simpson, Craig & O'Neill, Murdoch, McNeill & Clark, Johnstone, McBride, Chalmers, Lennox & Auld.
Scorers - Lennox, Murdoch, McBride & Foulkes (OG). Sadler for United.
We ran them ragged that day!
Ian Ure din't sign for United until 1969 (for £80000),
He ended up at St Mirren.

Team,
Having read alot of the comments about Collie,
I think that we have all made mistakes one way or another in terms of our descriptions or use of slang language as we have grown up for example in the west of scotland.
We all know this is wrong given some of the treatment some of our fathers and grand parents received when they came to scotland, irrespective if they where from Ireland, India, Pakistan or Italy.
Being from one of these groups, having been subject to petty racism. Note that when we look back, without realising it on occassions we have been slightly guilty at times by use of slang ourselves.
So to conclude the man has apologised and we should get onto talk about matters on hand.
The score tonight

Thanks Gordon for the Manu team info.
I remember it as a sunny day. We were knocked out by just how easily we beat United. The media explained it away at the time by noting we were a week or so ahead in ppre season training and the English world cup members were a wee bit weary.
How could we know we were about to write a chapter in the history books.
ESPN2 9PM EST carries the game.

Can we please get back to advising people to stay away from the brown acid and re-ignite the nonsense Kris Boyd rumour? It seems more fun than the current debate.
It's the silly season, it should be about ridiculous transfer rumours, dogs on skateboards wearing shades, folk frying eggs on pavements and the like.
Interesting fact about Mark Twain, "He was born on the day of the appearance of Halley's Comet in 1835, and died on the day of its next appearance in 1910. He himself predicted this in 1909, when he said: "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it." Twain had a decent moustache if I am not mistaken.

You have to admire his commitment to his team and his sheer enthusiam for football.

Some posters were expressing concerns about the temperature that the game will be played in, but isn't the altitude a bigger problem?
I seem to recall that a lot of athletes, especially distance runners used to do altitude training in Colorado. Something to do with higher oxygen levels in the blood - any sports scientists out there?
Blantyrekev - any chance we can donate some of that cash you guys raised at the gowf for a deserving cause in Western Australia?
It's for an exiled Tim who urgently requires a partial facial reconstruction. A plate with four teeth should fit the bill....er mouth!

mick has now moved back over and bought a nice gaff down on the Gold Coast.
Saw him at MT's stag night.
That was a laugh.
I was the first to arrive and in dribs and drabs MT's mates duley arrived.
Most were Rangers supporters and although one or two of the locals knew which team I supported they said nothing.
I suffered about twentey minutes of them whinging about how Celtic were cutting them up in the transfer market.
I couldn't take it any longer and you should have seen the look of shock on their faces as I declared myself.
Really did take a while to get the grin off my face.

Complete change of subject........does anybody remember the football cards you got from Typhoo Tea ?
-
TTTT, the altitude may indeed play a part in tonight's game, at 5000' feet (Denver's height above sea level), the air is thinner and therefore you need to take a bigger breath of air to get the same amount of oxygen as at Sea level. It normally takes about a week to acclimatise properly, although if done immediately before a major athletics event, it can help competitors, as even when they return to lower altitudes, they continue to take bigger breaths for a few days.
One other aspect the thinner air changes is the amount of air resistance exerted on a moving object, so it'll be very easy to overhit a cross for those not used to it...
-
Thats a guid dug.....
So the nightshift are the ones with prime viewing rights the night.... I have been looking forward to this for a while. I was in Colorado in April for a week....The altitude is a problem....And I was just walking about...Denver, 'Mile High City' is 5280 feet above sea level
Strange American facts
John Adams, signed Declaration of Independence, 2nd President of USA, died on 4th July 1826...Fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Thomas Jefferson, signed declaration of Independence, third President of the USA, died on 4th July 1826....Fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence
4-1 to the true stars....

I was seeing that the financial rights for the England cricket team's test matches in India is worth 50% of their annual income. Celtic could also begin to increase their revenue with matches like tonight's. But we will only generate real income if we can entertain, amaze, enthrall and dare I say it , WOW the audiences in their armchairs or holding up a bar.
Today I showed some students Celtic in the Bernabeau from 1967. Pure entertainment. Thinking about it now, Jinky was like a bullfighter, as he feigned and accelerated as he moves in close, then jiggles around, confounding the rival. He stands there almost hands full on his hips, pouting in front of the adversary, aided by his 10 "bandilleros".
Meanwhile back to the future, it is not looking good a priori for tonight's tussle. We are going to be playing at a high temperature and we are maybe a wee bit carried away with the performance on Sunday. I know i am.
However the rest of the world is not carried away and makes us Underdogs which might work in our favour. The most important thing is the display, not the result. And our recent pre- season displays have been dire.

I'm afraid It's only the highlights from the Di Stefano match from a video on Jinky which a friend gave me. The commentary is by Bob Crampsey but it's like a studio voiceover. STV's budget obviously didn't stretch to sending him to Madrid. I don't know if it was from Spanish TV or Eurovision or what. Thankfully it never came within reach of BBC Scotland. What a sparkling occasion it is.
Tomorrow I'm going to show them Jinky in the company of Bertie Auld meeting up with Alfredo Di Stefano years later, from the Lord of the wing video. That might cheer them up a bit because they were fairly gutted to see that they lost 1-0, and even more gutted listening to me cry "GoooooAAAAL"

Tobi don't I know it. Them and Den Haag.
But you can't let them beat REAL football supporters. About 20% of home games are kids, but apart from the traditional top 3 teams, PSV, Ajax, Feyenoord no one brings more than a couple of hundred away fans. Terrible indictment of Dutch society, 30yrs behind the uk on football hooligans.
