    It appears Paul67 is about to get his collar felt…

     

     

    Interesting wording on the statement, but the reality is Jabba is totally out of his depth with this stuff.

     

     

     

    From the Sevco website.

     

     

    “SEVCO Football Club is aware of wildly inaccurate stories circulating on various websites and would like fans to know that these flights of fantasy will be monitored by our lawyers.

     

     

    “In particular, they are examining a malicious piece which seems to suggest that the Club does not own its facilities.

     

     

    “We urge Rangers fans to treat these idiotic and lumbering articles with the contempt they deserve. Better still, ignore them completely.

     

     

    “But we must also stress we cannot waste time responding publicly to every blog or ridiculous claim against this Club. Also, there is a dangerous proliferation of anonymous obsessives on various social media sites and we will not give them any credence.

     

     

    “Nor can we react to every journalist and publication who appear to pursue an anti-Rangers agenda, publications such as the Daily Record which today boasts yet another headline which does not accurately reflect what manager Ally McCoist said in his press conference yesterday.

     

     

    “This paper’s intent is clear and we urge our fans to see it for what it is. If Rangers fans want the truth they will find it only on the Club’s official platforms.

     

     

    “Finally, Jack Irvine of Media House does not speak for this Club.”

    I trust the fools who set off the flares were arrested and will be kept away from future games

     

     

    ——-

     

     

    Those ‘fools’ made the effort to travel to Aberdeen to support Celtic where were you??!!!

     

     

    Wanting Celtic supporters arrested for letting off a smoke?? Pathetic.

    What is the Celtic party’s ETA?

     

     

    Would I be correct in assuming that it is about 0515 local time tomorrow morning?

     

     

    Or am I way off?

     

     

    HH!!

    But I do think that a certain triumphalism has set in for a good portion of the posters …

     

    I’m not sure about the use of triumphalism in the Rangers or NI Orange sense.

     

    I think we all feel, victorious and even vindicated.

     

    The accusations of paranoia can no longer be leveled against us after the liquidation of Rangers, the revelations of collusion within the football authorities and the continuing circus act downriver.

     

    The internal battle now is on how the board can best use the position of strength to build a team capable of competing at CL level while maintaining a balance and a perspective of our relative financial weakness when compared to teams from Italy, Germany, Spain and England.

     

    The eternal struggle between prudent investment and reckless spending.

    I have no problem with anyone expressing their opinions. I don’t consider myself important enough that everyone should agree with me.

     

     

    But not everyone on the blog has the best interests of Celtic at heart.

     

     

    Although many people who constantly have a pop at the board are clearly Celtic fans, there are also some Zombies on here and they are pretty transparent in my opinion.

     

     

    I think it is hysterical that posters go to the bother of creating a persona – although there is something creepy about it as well.

     

     

    But each to their own. Nothing wrong with a good debate as long as it doesn’t get ugly

    That article from Sevconia Towers is truly amazing.

    I know I’m getting more than a wee bit obsessive in my dotage.

    Magic! That’s Wee BGFC sorted for the evening :-) I’ll expect updates from him every 30 minutes on location, population density, local teams, local beer options, etc. – hours of fun!!

  10. hamiltontim- around 4000 Celtic fans there today, yet only a few felt the urge to bring pyros jus to help the atmosphere.

     

     

    The guy who let the flare off when the penalty was awarded was in section R only a few rows from the front. The belching smoke pretty much a give away on his exact location. If the police who were standing only yards away have not identified him then it will be negligence on a pretty impressive scale.

    Again, I agree with most of what you say.

     

     

    I agree about the whole persona thing… as you may know, I had a disagreement with the blog’s resident persona, but he and I agreed to simply ignore each other … as you say, life is too short…

     

     

    And I agree that some of the dissenters do not have Celtic’s best interest at heart… but I would say that equally applies to some of the (overly) happy clappers… you know the old line, the greatest lie the devil ever told was convincing the world that he doesn’t exist…

     

     

    anyways, I’m not working today (in fact, this is probably the laziest day I have had in memory … I’ve already watched two games today… and I’m going to watch the second half of the man u game…

     

     

    then I’m off out to enjoy this beautiful day here (sunny and 80 degrees)…

     

     

    enjoy the rest of your weekend

    Thoroughly enjoyed the game today, although the dug is dismayed its back to being early out of her basket, with me shouting at the telly again in the early hours of the morning.

    That is some distance to travel. Flight currently just passing north of Stockholm.

    Good evening bhoys & ghirls. Excellent performance from the team today. We showed composure and patience and no little skill at Pittodrie where, I think, not many away teams will win this season.

     

    Granted they were a man short for all of the 2nd half but we can only beat what’s put in front of us.

     

    Let’s hope we don’t sell FF and that we bring a striker in. We could be a right good side this year.

     

    Kojo, I try to scroll past your posts but keep the gratuitous religious comments for a blog on religion.

    Didnt think much of Aberdeen …no better than last season

     

     

     

    Not impressed with BT sport …Mcallister and assoc souptakers

     

     

    Job done …but that ain’t good …apart from Mouyokolo whom I thought was decent …

     

     

    Certainly not playing the Glasgow Celtic way

    I was in section R in the front row so you’ll obviously be aware that the smoke blew in our direction.

     

     

    I’m not an advocate of smokes or bangers or flares being set off in football stadia but I will take exception when Celtic supporters are labelled as ‘fools’ and others express a desire to see them arrested. That’s pathetic.

     

     

    I agreed with your post that it was a minor miracle that they managed to get past the searches with them.

    So we now know where the Karagandy money has gone.

    Glad your trip north was worthwhile ;-)

     

     

    For what it’s worth I can see away fans behaviour becoming an issue, because of the closure of section 111.

     

     

    Not blaming the GB, which is a lot smaller in number than Celtic fans (or anyone else) believes.

     

     

    It’s a tiny majority of flare throwers etc who hang on to the GB’s tails that are the problem.

    Paul hasn’t said that the Zombies don’t own their ground. He has only said that he has seen fairly detailed plans for the sale.

    I don’t see their ETA on the flight data. Kazakhstan is 5 hours ahead of UK.

     

    Distance is about 3k miles.

     

    Say 6 hours flight time.

     

    Midnight CP time 5am Sunday in Kazakhstan. Give or take half an hour.

     

    Early night for some of our players.

    Wow. I assumed you had majorly “awe nawe’d” that sevco statement.

     

     

    That really is an embarrassment. It’s the kind of thing you could not take seriously from an old pish stained alckie who blogged about sevco, but from the official website it is simply bizarre

     

     

    Although they have previous in the bizarre stakes.

     

     

    Normally when they release something like that it’s to try to divert from more real bad news coming their way.

  24. Paul67 et al

     

     

    Need a response on this one. I sometimes book Celtic tickets Online, can anybody tell if it is possible to buy both adult and concession tickets in this way. I only seem to get the adult price option for each seat chosen.

  25. paolosboots Good Luck Wee Oscar on

    nice to see Cliftonville putting the money to good use with a few new signings and great result away to Linfield 4.2, maybe balance of power will shift again this season.

    It is truly incredible that Jabba thinks that statement is appropriate in any way.

     

     

    Even more astonishing – he is paid a decent wedge for that stuff.
