Are you looking forward to the AGM tomorrow? As always on these occasions, the questions after the votes will be far more interesting than the formal business of the day. The Living Wage appears on the agenda for the third year, courtesy of the Trust. Celtic now pay at or above Living Wage rates, although they have not signed up to the Foundation and the pay increase for lower-waged members of staff was accompanied with the withdrawal of a discretionary bonus.
Not sure what the cost of this was, or the impact on staff, but we’ll no doubt hear about it tomorrow. I should also say that I’m not signed up to the Living Wage Foundation either, as it has no relevance for my business.
The performance of the team (imperious domestically, impervious to improvement in Europe) will be the central concern from the hall. Celtic are a Champions League club, this is our focus. We need to be competing on that platform regularly.
I expect, and hope, shareholders get an update on Resolution 12, which looks increasingly relevant. You can bet questions will also be asked on whether or not there was a conspiracy to break tax, SPL and SFA rules, and to subvert an SPL Commission.
There’s not a great deal Celtic can say on this matter for now, beyond their statement last week.
Many thanks to Jim Craig and Brendan Sweeney for joining us on the blog last night. These events see the blog at its best and last night’s was no exception. You can buy Brendan’s book, Celtic: The Early Years, or Alex Gordon’s latest, The Winds of Change, Managing Celtic from 1991-2005, at the CQN Bookstore.

For all Apple devices an ‘Ad Blocker’ for Safari eliminates all ‘pop up’ advertising the best one for iPhone was posted this morning by Twists n Turns its called Crystal Ad Blocker
All gone for 79pence, on iPhone or IPad.
There must be PC/Windows blocking equivalents out there, happily not needed on a Mac.
Awwy Wammont – shame……………………
Please say that it’s an issue for all Scotland Paul, please……………………….
Evening folks, re the issue of pop up’s, I use ADBLOCK on google chrome on my laptop. No problems at all. Hope it helps some folks.

*** LAST MAN STANDING 5 ***
With the agreement of the 9 who are still standing I am now able to let everyone know more precise information than usual regarding this week’s picks.
This is something we’re now able to do as the numbers are now at a manageable level.
This week’s selections are split across 5 different teams as follows –
Manchester Utd – TheCelt45, stpatricksbhoy and bognorbhoy
Hearts – Dannymac, jamabhoy and Setting Free The Bears
St Johnstone – The Token Tim
Ross County – leftclicktic
Celtic – GG
Good luck to all.
that dick, Wilson spinning the “mechanism”get out pish………..
BT,
In all fairness, things were different 40 years ago and what is considered unacceptable now, was considered witty then.
I,d give Paul67 8/10 in a pretty hostile interview old Macintyre laid the trap but Paul neatly side stepped it. Well done Paul. H H Hebcelt
P67
Well done
Unfortunate when D*** was talkin pi**….Kenny has director in his ear saying ‘move on’

I enjoyed reading it 0:-)

Is that not something to do with subscribing to the CQN Magazine?
Beatbhoy
My forensic analysis of your post leads me to conclude that you do not share my view.

Can you contact bt – i might have something that you might be interested in
No Hebcelt Paul ducked the issue entirely.
All sound and fury in his articles.
All old firm in public.
Cqn betraying the Celtic support alongside the board.
Discuss?
I thought Broony was excellent in his ” No comment.” response to EBT`s. Hopefully, other players will follow his example.

The ole Christmas lights on the Celtic way looking fabby……..don’t let them huns know
but….big Petesy got them wired up to a lampost on the London rd.
everylittlehelps c.s.c
This latest nonsense about no rule to get them seems to be the way they are going.
So you can behave criminally (literally) but there is no rule against it. Wow. Scottish football. A legal free zone.
Magic!
Paul67 ….TAKE A BOW …… ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT …….but, please don’t ever lower your standards by agreeing to appear on the ssb comedy / bigotry show …..what a farce it is…..again, very well done…..what a Celtic ambassador you are….!!!!
On the pop-ups, it seems to be just about OK on a laptop – but any tablets or phones are verging on the unusable.
If you can actually get onto the site, trying to navigate the minefield of adverts and pop-ups with just a podgy finger is nigh on impossible.
I thought Paul did remarkably well considering the opposition rallied against him, hard faced Sevconions as well as the “Soup Taker” McLeod.
So well done Paul!!
HH
Whats wrong with the ads,i find them very informative,
I now know loads of celebrities that don’t wear underwear,
I know lots of good looking people that were average looking when younger,
and also if I ever change job I want to take pictures of cheerleaders for a living
Jungle Jim –
You’re bang on. I had forgotten all about that! Anyway, whatever it was for I’m happy to continue paying it ;-)
CAn anyone give a synopsis of Paul`s interview?

67 Heaven
Thanks,
JJ
No 67 heaven I just don’t buy into the desperate sychophancy on display here. He ducked the issue. Didn’t address the question, said we are jumping the gun.
Where was the clear message that, of no,appeal then titles should be stripped as a consequence. Dead simple, what Paul purportedly believes. But no……..
I remember Paul last year getting all old for my on the news wires about the Huns game.
All those words on the site. All fall away.
Dear Jim Craig
What is the best cure for the next 12 hrs as i have toothache
Cheers
Neganon2 no I will not be discussing anything with you, yuo,ve got your view I,ve got mine, end of. H H Hebcelt
Yuo,ve = you,ve doh
I have no issue with that Hebcelt. I just don’t think we should be hypocrites.

” I remember Paul last year getting all old for my on the news wires about the Huns game. ”
