This morning’s images of a chain of people snaking around the Celtic Park ticket office and out towards London Road is remarkable. Even more so when you consider more people were buying season tickets online than queueing from the small hours to make sure they can support Celtic next season.
Frankly, I didn’t think we’d see sights like this until we saw a change in playing environment.
Season ticket sales, together with recent commercial deals concluded with Dafabet and Magners, puts the club on an enormously better financial footing, but the benefits extend beyond what we see today. Peripheral income, such as match day spent at the superstore and at kiosks, will have a corresponding lift.
Now if we get Champions League income on top of this………….

“Hello,is that The Acme,We Sell Everything Under The Sun Company.Yes,well I would like to order a Crystal Ball.

Do crystal balls work in the bath haha
It is quite interesting to see the transfer strategy of both Celtic and the Rangers over at Ibrokes they appear to be trying to build there team based on free transfer players now these players are free transfer material for a reason and that is because they were judged not good enough for the club they are leaving.Now some of these players may succeed but it is a gamble they obviously are not getting any injection of funds from Dave King assuming he even has the money.Celtic on the other hand are taking there time about things we still await Brendans first signing and we appear to be taking a measured approach to who we bring in I believe we have a decent transfer budget but we need to spend it wisely if we are to succeed. H.H.

” A 24 team competition is yet more absurdity from UEFA .It is only a matter of time before all 55 countries get to play in the Finals . UEFA could have 11 groups of 5 with the top 4 in each group progressing to the next round..The 11 teams who finish last in their group could then play each other in a league style competition with the first ten gaining a place in the next round . The team that loses out could be the ball boys in the Final.”

The only fact that concerns me is that Celtic have said nothing and done nothing to contradict the same club narrative.
Which of course is entirely consistent with what The Great Desmondo has said about the huns.
And with the Club’s position on the five way agreement.
The Club have treated the fans like mugs, and frankly, I can see why.
BRTH – thanks for replying. We are in Garmisch-Partenkirchen for the eek before – have our own car, so getting about is easy.

Some very funny posts through the night.
Thank you Mrs Nilloc.

File under things you never thought you would see at Celtic Park!
eek = week :-)
Descending into Vaclav Havel – first time in Prague – very overcast.
Looking forward to next couple of evenings – get a wee bit of site-seeing done.
Wonder if our resident night-shift Security Guards are still in their Inflamed cerebral condition – I have never read such puerile rubbish – that’s what happens, I suppose, when you are just sitting around on the minimum wage.
Got to go – big news today from TO – “we have sold out” HH
BobbyM,
Perhaps it is because we are older now, or that we now know more of what goes on behind the scene, but even the joy of beating them doesn’t wash away the disgust they invoke.
When I took my 1969 sabbatical, we were in the middle of our glory years, so it wasn’t due to watching us suffer at their hands that stopped me.
Since then, we have seen an increase in the venom and hatred that flows between both camps.
The situation in the North certainly heightened tensions and, of course, in the last four years, the media campaign fuelled a sense of grievance amongst them.

Miss Hunderbirds got two tickets frae Marc Crosas for an OF game at the hundome when MC played (not, lol) for us. She was a Facebook friend of his. Her and her Granny who were both season book holders at the time, went together.
Their access was fairly central in the main stand and they had to walk past lots of Huns to get to the Broomloan end of the stand. She had green trim on her trainers and was freaking out. Reminded me of being stuck in a “blue” train High St to Airdrie, in a carriage full of them singing the slash.
In these situations you feel like you’ve got “KAFFLICK” stamped on yer forehead.
Drat thought you mentioned the Crystal Bell not Ball.
Nevermind I forsee a fortune tellers dance would be quite well attended by CQN’ers.
One man’s mug is another man’s Celtic supporter.

Jimmynotpaul,
‘Although I noticed the troll Ryecatcher/ Rudicantfail sneaking on again.’
I noticed that too. Was Rudi the poster responsible for comments about John Harston and yet was criticising someone else for the same thing yesterday?
Short memories these switcheroo posters.

MATS NILLOC
That sums you up,you miserable pile of excrement.
My only surprise is that you didn’t agree with every word MRS NILLOC said about you.
I thought you were beyond parody-once again you prove me wrong.
Pretty much in the same way that. MRS NILLOC did last night.
As an aside,yer “wife” is hardly on minimum wage. Even were that the case,is that any reason to look down your nose at him/her?
Morning all. HH
I think it’s correct to say that probably BR wouldn’t be celtic manager this now if it wasn’t for the new huns. Not to say it’s entirely an ‘old firm’ thing. Just that before, there wasn’t any meaningful competition really, and correspondingly, little external interest.
Maybe if Aberdeen or Hearts had actually won the league / came really close / done well in european competitions because they were good, BR would have joined.
Maybe if there was no budget for players, even with the hun in the league- he wouldn’t have joined. Only BR can say.

Do you anticipate that Celtic will ever do or say anything to contradict the same club narrative?
If not, does their failure to do so concern you?

It only quietens down when they are truly rubbish.
The Greig/Wallace Mk2 years for example,the White years you reference. The appointment of Souness had them crawling out from underneath stones.
My friends in Celtic,
Only BR knows his reasons for coming to Paradise. Even if the new huns formed part of his decision making process. So what.
Karma.

Clogher Celt 10.39.
Yes that’s your man.
When he was Ryecatcher he posted the worse abuse I have ever seen on this blog towards my good friend Hamilton Tim.
All because H.T. had sussed him out to be a troll.
He then disappeared for a,while but has returned as Rudicantfail.
P.S. Thank you for kind message the other day.

Try watching a Celtic v Rangers game in the local Orange Lodge only because there isnae a Celtic pub in town.
And celebrating every goal.
Wore my good trainers that day,I can tell you!
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
Leave him to his bile mate. Every time he posts it reveals a limited, shallow and inadequate character.
JIMMYNOTPAUL
HAMILTONTIM is more than capable of looking after himself.
But….
Ryecatcher crossed a line with that stuff. Once,aye,apologise it’s no problem. But it was relentless.
He was deservedly hammered by poster after poster.
Hope yer fine and dandy,T.
BMCUW
Tickety boo my fhriend. Hope you are also. Bliddy fones on Friday, nuisances. Lol. HH
MATS NILLOC – Do you think because you post HH at the end of a post it’s excusable to abuse people on minimum wage? Not that a person’s pay packet is any measure of a man.
It reminds me of Bloombergs TV, where some psycho american CEO, losing an argument, will simply say: ‘But I earn more than you,’
Bobby M,
Just a wee post mark to the 1969 cup final.
For some reason, the hun fancied their chances.
Remember, they weren’t a bad team back then…we were just different class.
Part of their confidence was probably due to the absence of Jinky and Yogi.
Anyway, my father and I approached Hampden from Mount Florida, after arriving by train.
This meant passing through the hordes coming in the opposite direction.
What we noticed was the amount of families amongst them, with pristine, just out of the packet scarves.
Those that weren’t, we imagine reeked of moth balls.
They really were up for it.

I didn’t side with anybody, I have my own opinions.
From what you say you are obviously happy with the way things are, being cheated sits Ok with you, you said so, you don’t want to rock the boat cos it will upset those who cheat us.
It’s attitudes like that that allows them to cheat us.
Our chairman uttered the words ” Those Days Are Gone ” seriously powerful words from a Celtic chairman, yet they were never carried through, and yes I did want the club to challange them and their cheating.
When they had the referee strike was the time to destroy them, they were at fault, they lied, they cheated, we had them on the ropes, Dr John told the world they cheated and that Those Days Were Gone.
But you want to let them carry on cheating us.
How feckin sad is that.
