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.

I think we are giving him more credit that he’s due. There’s been a lot flying round this week and the only conclusion I can draw is that he is hanging on by the skin of his teeth. Not to say that he won’t bring others down with him if he has to though
‘ Thoroughbreds should not be crossed with Plough Horses’.

100% accurate
Kojo,
God love you.
You are indeed “Still laughin, still laughin”. (in various different spellings!!! ho ho)
But old bean, you are doing so in an increasingly demented way.
Please, calm down, you will do yourself (or one or more of your alter egos) a mischief.
P.S. Check your spelling in your last few posts, your wayward spelling provides a few signposts to your overall health.
Please get yourself checked out, I think it will do you good, and it certainly wouldn’t do you any harm. Now would it? Of course not. I’ll consider it done.
I still have hope for you, and I will pray for you, in my own way of course.
Key Word – CHILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kojo has been on this site longer than most.
Ive met Paul on numerous occassions and he is not a bigot so for you to say it says it says a lot of him then you dont know him.
I stopped reading Kojos post years ago as he knows nothing about football.
I dont know if he is a bigot or not but Paul lets him post so the choice is you do your own blog or you accept what the guy who runs the blog accepts

well macjay when he called me a bigot, you declared Game, Set & Match to Kojo against overwhelming odds. In my eyes that constitutes agreeing with him. We have all been called Fenian Bastards, I have been victimised for my Political & Social views since I was 14 or 15 that is for half a century, nobody here including me is trying to act the Bully. We are simply fed up of Kojo et al coming on here night after night spoiling the blog for the rest of us with his nonsense.
Kojo,
ChhhiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMan.
I’m beginning to think your bigotry is the least of your issues.
Lots and lots of cries for help on here tonight.
If you are looking for help, let me know brother.
I’ve helped your type get help before. I consider it a charitable act.
Bigot. If you find a Bigot intolerable, then by definition, you are bigot. If you find anything politically left of center intolerable, you can call all who disagree with this outlook a bigot but at the same time claim your not a Bigot. I think if we are all bigots its best to be one with a small “b”. Ma archiebald has a sore head

You’re right, I saw that. He’s been a busy man at recording himself, that is for sure
i stopped reading gl2 posts years ago
me and kojo
guys!! why do you still answer koko the clown and the defective??? ignore the attention seeker and he will find somewhere else to pollute…….as for his claim to only having one log-in….it would be wise of him to remember who he is signed in as before he gives his still laughing sign off…………………….sorry koko but you gave yourself away
incidently I have a Spanish IP if I sign on in the office……but I aint in Spain……dont let the IP address lead you astray…one and the same……………….still laughing :-)
O.G.Rafferty,
well time will tell i suppose and keep up the good work, thank’s
Night Tims.
See ye soon.

We are all following in Craigy’s footsteps. Hopefully he will come good this coming week
St Stivs me also
The blog hijacked by a bigoted egomaniacal moron. Usually a lurker but nary a word about the team today. Sad and depressing.

I never said Paul was a bigot, what I said was he knows very well the type of shite Kojo posts. He is not ignorant of the stuff Kojo posts.
How he deals with it is up to him. You are 100% right, and I agree with you 100% when you say “Paul lets him post so the choice is you do your own blog or you accept what the guy who runs the blog accepts”
It is not up to me what is accepted on this blog, it is up to Paul. I agree 100%. It is up to Paul 100%. He decides what is acceptable. Not me. It is Paul 100%. It is up to him, not me.
My admiration to all CQNrs out there.
Jaysus TCC I’m blind from reading 100%, I’m not slagging you mind I agree 100% with what you say.

You make a reasonable point about ‘ game ,set and match.”
However,you say:nobody here including me is trying to act the Bully. We are simply fed up of Kojo et al coming on here night after night spoiling the blog for the rest of us with his nonsense.
Subjective or objective?
How can you speak for others and their intentions and motivations?
Who is ” We “?
Group think?
No worries,mate.We`ll just have to agree to differ.

“If our host chooses to accept racist sh! t”
In what other area of your life would you think that statement would be acceptable.
I think it says as much about “our host” as it does about the resident bigot
corkcelt
Thanks, I think 80% of what you said there is right.
However, looking over your posts for the whole night, that rises to 93%.
(figures may be rounded up or down)
Anyway, hitting the post button and then hitting the road jack.
Take care Adam Clayton Powell Jn, wherever you are.

Cheers,mate.
macjay, I’ve got no problem agreeing to differ, but you hit the nail on the head yourself when you mentioned “overwhelming odds”. You could clearly see that almost everyone posting tonight was fed up with Kojo, now ask yourself why that is. This is a blog full of people who are renowned for supporting charities and good causes. Have we all turned into nasty bigoted bullies overnight or just maybe, enough is enough and we are justified in saying it.

Heard tonight that the top tier of the east stand will be closed for league games next season and SB from there will be relocated
Greenlion2
It wasnt me, but The Boy Jinky on 00:37 on 28 April, 2013 who said
“If our host chooses to accept racist sh! t”.
Now if you dont agree that this statement is true, take it up with him old bean, he said it, not me. I simply responded to it.
Now if you think what he said is true, then I’ll ask you the same question I asked him, ” In what other area of your life would you think that statement would be acceptable.”
Surely unless there is work taking place in the top tier of East Stand they won’t close it if there is a demand for Tickets.
Just dropped in to say…
Is Kojo a popular ghuy ?
Or is he getting it tight cause the teams p#sh ?
PL – If ye release the Cellic fans money to the manager, whoever that may be when the time comes…to bring in – Johnny Russell and GMS, then you’ll no need to turn to drink :)
Oh, and btw…I don’t think you’ve thought about the pain in the ass aspect of folk drinking in the stadiums – fans having to stand up every other 30 secs to let sumdy oot for a p#ss ?
More gloom before I go…would I be correct in thinking that Glasgow Cellic will be playing the Hibbees in the SCF wearing oor(doom n gloom) black strips as, Hibbees were in the SCF 1st and will take on the role of the ‘home’ team ?
Away back to the darkened room – CSC

Apologies if I mis read the statement as you said it .
I saw TBJ say earlier in the week he would ask Paul about Kojo tonight at the Kano night. I can speak to him directly on the outcome.
I dont read Kojo since he talked a lot of crap about something I knew was wrong. If he is being racist then I believe I have the same decision as I said earlier.
I stand by my statement that Paul is not a bigot… So if you think he allows a racist to post on here what otjer reason do yo uthink he has to do that?
They cheat and deceive…we squabble :O(((.
It’s the Celtic way :O(((…….

Kev Jungle, I have it on good authority that you are a sound guy and a great Tim, so you will just have to drop your bad boy image. Funnily enough (maybe its my age and the bladder being not as good as it once was) but the thought of people heading in and out of the jax did very much cross my mind, at least, in respect of beer being available in the Stadium
