I’m a bit confused at the chat this morning of reintroducing the sale of alcohol at football games. Alcohol is available for sale at games at Celtic Park, you just need to have a ticket for an expensive enough seat. If you’re in the cheap seats, you get to queue to pay for some cola. Is people’s ability to pay an indication of their likelihood to behave in a dangerous or criminal way with some alcohol in their blood?
This implication has always troubled me.
Alcohol, wherever it is sold, inevitably leads to over-indulgence and potentially dangerous behaviour, and requires strong stewarding, whether that is at a night club, or in the No. 7 restaurant. Scotland’s licenced premises have changed beyond recognition in recent decades. They are increasingly well-lit, family friendly and safe places to be. They now sell better beer too, but our nation’s problem with alcohol remains acute.
Society needs to be educated on how to use alcohol responsibly; good venues are part of the solution.
While we are on the subject of facilities at Celtic Park……. I go months without buying food or drink in the North Stand, Upper, for good reason. Last week (pestered by one of the boys), I left for the kiosk with 40 minutes on the clock, didn’t get served until the second half started, only to be told there were no hotdogs or pies left.
You know me, I’m not one to get angry at Celtic, but the sheer frustration pushed me over the top, and I didn’t have a drink! If you’re charging circa £4 for something that’s costing less than £1, make sure stock is sufficient. Have two people serving each side of the kiosk, not two on one side, with a single person making hardly a dent on the queue at the other.
Needed to get that off my chest.
The ‘news’ this morning that Rangers International are trying to sack commercial director, Imran Ahmad, is more curious for being news than in itself. Is it even possible for this news to be anything other than a leak from a director against another director? These newspaper people don’t do irony, they just take careful notes and go write up their story.
This whole episode is beginning to feel a bit like sitting out the back when the neighbours don’t realise their bedroom window is open. You can hear the noises and you looked up and caught a glance at something horrific looking. It’s something you’ll laugh about later with your friends but these people really need to acquire some dignity.

Zaragoza have moved from bottom to third-bottom, still a relegation place, but equal on points with the two Galician teams, Deportivo and Celta.
Kojo-
So what would you say is more of a “bad mouth”?
Calling someone a wa**er, who constants indulges his own ego boring all and sundry with verbose, nonsensical drivel, OR…
That same bore mentioned above actually writing filth like *ig-*og on this blog?
Example 326 demonstrating that the English Premier League is not the best in the world:
Gary Caldwell 1 game short of 100 appearances
Being a Celtic supporter requires character
and a view of the world where we stand up
for what is right.
Fortune thrust hand in Ramires’ face. He must’ve been aiming for his chest
Just staggered into the usual CQN debate. I said a few angry words a couple of weeks back as I was still fizzing after the Gallowgate policing. BUT Iove Celtic with all my heart, I love social equality, I love AntiFA. There are some on here who represent everything in the hun.
IGNORE!
Fortune and Fox sent off…
Danny Fox and Mark Antoine Fortune both sent off in the same game,

You may support the Celtic
buy you are not a ‘Celtic supporter’.

I think Clarke is a touch of class at WBA. Given NFL’s apparent desire to go down south, I’d have Clarke coming north in a heartbeat
Jordan Rhodes scored a golden goal for Blackburn against Crystal Palace. I was hoping they got relegated and maybe get him on the cheap.
Lest we forget.
Stevie Clarke. Sort that accent out, bhoy. Please.

You having a laugh? Neil going nowhere. All he said, was sit with the board see what happens. He has said the same thing every season.
Brilliant day with the CQN boys good to put names to faces, my apologies to anyone I embarrased in bar 67 my dancing is not what it used to be, in saying that my choice is not too poor.
MWD whatever you need. :-)
Hail hail guys many many thanks for your company
Did the New Seekers get all the Seekers’ Number ones and golden discs?

Just hypothesising, but its on the basis of my opinion that NFL craves an EPL job
i was up at the forge today, and as i do took a detour to Celtic park.
which was harder than it should be , due to the other detour roadworks,
the emerites stadium is magnificent.
our frontage with the 3 statues is magnificent.
the edwardian school is still magnificent.
and should be retained.
save the school.
it saw gallagher, mcgrory, thompson, tully, stein , evens, mcgrain, and every other celtic player .
save the school

No direct link between the Seekers and the New Seekers.
Actually there is and it’s Keith Potger who was a founding member of the Seekers and also founded the New Seekers as you say to fill a gap in the market when the Seekers disbanded.

If we lose big Fraser, I would have Darren Edward Randolph in a heartbeat.
Young, Irish, free, and is a decent keeper IMO.

surreal as it was.
i played pool with eve and bobby ball in what was the Livi Hilton way back in the Mimtec early 90’s.
she was lovely,
he was a drunken nightmare.
A good memory can be a curse.
Our fascist fantasist has told us that he was only resident in Glasgow for less than two years, when he was a teenager.
While he was here, he used to go to visit Willie Maley, who was then in a care home.
Willie Maley died in April 1558.
He was also in a street gang ( The Hedge Gang) at the time, which included Bob (‘Bert’ to his close friends) Crampsey. The gentle & scholarly Bob died 5 years ago aged 78. (RIP)
Now he tells us that he was a privileged visitor at Celtic Park in the 1960’s & that he simply strolled through the main entrance as a VIP.
I have to admit that I am suitably impressed.
I also want to congratulate Uncle Lou, the oldest known resident of Australia.

Save the school, agreed, I hope they can incorporate the new museum with the old building.
Che, did anyone video the dancing?
Need a laugh.
also noticed today, big sign posts about retail availability at the new stadium, and “last few units left” .
did we miss an oppurchancity with not doing the triangle earlier.
one of the tennants is a hotel.
Jaysus wept we have the blog bigot calling people bigots, ill tell you what the majority of bloggers think, your an arse hole, a total waste of space, the fact your allowed to even post on here is more about technology rather you being welcomed, you purport to be something your not, you pretend to be in Vegas when you were called out twice by the same blogger, you Kojo are a racist bigot your an arse hole you are a typical if what is big welcome on this blog, use one of your 7 fkn ip adds to defend yourself, do us all a favour leave the blog and feck off back under your stone
Joe Hart. I ask you. It’s not as if he doesn’t have competition.

You have become a distraction.
And you enjoy it.
IMO You are a self indulgent expat
with no love for the CELTIC.
