Uefa still on the pot on fixtures

668

Lots of frustration around today at the possibility the first leg of the Champions League qualifier will be switched to Belfast.  It will be no comfort to those who booked travel yesterday but we are in this situation every qualifying game.  The draw is made and confirmed a day or two later, which is why clubs (including Celtic) and CQN yesterday ran a “Don’t book travel until…” piece.  On most occasions nothing is changed which means fans are caught out when change happens.

No reason why Uefa can’t deal with this on the day of the game, or exclusively on the basis of strict criteria.  I hope they deny this request, which is not in Celtic’s favour and clearly not in fan’s best interest.

Two items to draw your attention to today:

Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust

Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust are undertaking a sponsored cycle of all SPL grounds this September in attempt to get to our £100k fundraising target. This money will be used to help on the battle to fight skin cancer working with organisations such as Beatson Cancer Centre. The event is called Tour for Tommy and will span 5 days, 12 clubs and 380 miles of cycling before returning to Celtic Park on Sunday 15th September. Ex-Celts such as Packie Bonner and Frank McGarvey are joining in as the full event and Bertie Auld will be completing the last day. The event is looking to team up with the fans of each club to join them on a leg from their stadium to the next.

The group have much of the logistics in place and most of the riders, but they need more help. Each of the four main days are being offered for sponsorship with day one already taken up. In return the 30-40 core riders will get their clothing made with that company’s logo as well as any signage on press releases at the stadiums among other benefits (full pack available upon request). The Tour has already received great coverage from Sky Sports with further commitment to track the whole event.

In addition the charity are looking for donations of anything from water bottles, energy bars/drinks to medical supplies and biking mechanical supplies.

If you are interested in getting involved in any way you can contact scottmcgarvey@gmail.com. You can donate here, follow on Facebook and twitter (@tommyburnsSCT).

I know many of you will be aware of the work done by Celtic fans for the people of Haiti as part of the Hoops For Haiti campaign.  This is another aspect of the incredible work done by Celtic fans and a credit to our club.  You can read their blog here and get involved here.

    I am more and more convinced THE MACHINE has deployed a massive COVER-UP to hide their nefarious torts.

    Any hoo

     

    Read the daily record article and was amused by the description of our hero Craig Craigy Whyte… Disgraced former owner, shamed former owner.. How long before Charlie has the same description?

    Yeah the first part was with you in mind but the last part too – the joining the dots – well that is looking for a kind and bright owner too.

  6. Via twitter.

     

     

    Why has the Record started using the @CharlotteFakes output now? No Audited Accounts, Smith wants someone out, ST sales slow?

     

     

    Quite amazing from the Record today. They have all those @CharlotteFakes leaks to choose from and they pick the one that nails Stockbridge

     

     

    I mean, it’s almost as if they’ve been allowed the leak by the Rangers press office because the board want rid of Stockbridge

     

     

    Suddenly there’s no problem for the Daily Record to use the @CharlotteFakes tapes(uncredited). A Cynic would think it suits The Cardigan now

     

     

    Disagree; yet another PR puff-piece painting spivs badly. Walter & Jack; just like old times.

     

     

    The DR Charlotte “revelation” seems to be the start of the “Rainjurs men” using it to oust the final spivs. Note the “Forensic” disclaimer!

     

     

    Years of tax avoidance, bent refs & officials, corrupt media and the teams from Ibrox still couldn’t beat our 9 in a Row or win the Big Cup!

     

     

    Can we all not simply ignore the SMSM on here when they want to discuss @CharlotteFakes since they didnt want to know last week.

     

     

    If Charlotte tweeted a while back spivs out then what does that say about Charlotte ?

  7. seatim,

     

     

    to get engagement, you must first pass the “are you a hun” initiation (no goats involved).

     

     

    then its best if you insult some of the long standing old timer posters , by saying something about their age group demographic “your all pass dit, whit de you know abut celtic” ,

     

     

    that will get a response, usually spilling the posters, who take sides at a moments notice “leave him alane, i know him and he is a good tim” or “your right , i nver liked him, nothing good to say about cellic ever”

     

     

    alternatively befriend one of the moonhowlers , we , i mean they, will talk to anyone.

     

     

     

     

    now are you a hun ?

    Its funny how no one reads the MSM (As main stream media’s Phil puts it) and theres recent stories of folk in that ‘MSM’ on the pay role of one of the rangers, YET people still read and copy/paste pieces from said ‘MSM.’

     

     

    Surely folk cant copy and paste articals from the ‘MSM’ when they are only reading a copy that was lying in the barbers?

    Sometimes when l Read Charlotte Fakes..

  16. Cliftonville looking to increase the capacity for the visit of Celtic to 3500, and given our average crowd of 1200 last season i reckon most people will be accommodated.

  17. “We have held talks with the Irish FA and the local authorities and we are confident the capacity can be increased to 3,500.”

    Great place, going for a holiday or work?

     

     

    Ive just discovered this place, brilliant for apartment world wide, just booked great digs in Miami and NYC, must better prices than most hotels. The good well placed hotels in Dubai can get pricy.
