I see Celtic’s name was dragged by the media into what some low-life vandals did outside Ibrox this week – and a few years ago, for good measure. There are low-life vandals out there, and we don’t have a way to filter them out of the Celtic support, so I‘d not dispute any of the tangential links, but vandalism like this happens all too often without media coverage.
When stories suddenly appear to be so well framed in the newspapers, you have to wonder why? Or who is behind them?
There’s a big play underway for what, in this context, should be called Supremacy in Scotland. Celtic have it right now and no one else is strong enough to eclipse them. The best way to achieve this is to destabilise the club. It’s worked, but only to an extent.
I read Paul Larkin on Hail Hail Media this morning who raises some interesting questions on what’s going on and what we should do about it, “as a collective, cannot be beaten”. It’s hard to argue with.
We’ve got two exciting bits of Magners business for you today………..
First, if you want to win two Premium Seat tickets to the Jock Stein Stand for Sunday’s potential league winning game against Aberdeen, courtesy of main club sponsor, Magners, answer this question about our last 9-in-a-row campaign:
Against which team did Celtic win the first of their 9 consecutive titles, in 1966?
It was a famous game, settled by a famous scorer. Email the team name IN THE SUBJECT LINE of your message, to celticquicknews@gmail.com
Competition closes at 17:00 TODAY, so you only have a few hours…..
And there’s more…… How do you fancy playing on Celtic Park in 12 days’ time? Go to Facebook and enter this Magners competition to win a place in the end of season 7s tournament.
You get to grace the place that McGrory, Johnstone, Dalglish and Larsson did their stuff. Do it.
Now I’ve got you in a good mood. If you’ve a spare £1 in your metaphorical pocket, go stick it into the CQN Mary’s Meals appeal Those CQN school kitchens in Malawi feed over 2,000 kids each day. That’s food needed every day………

North C yprus Bhoy
I think the best thing to do is to contact your broker and ask that the shares are actually registered in your personal name but held by them if you so wish.
If the shares are in your name, then the notice of the AGM should come to you and you alone and so you can determine who has any proxy to vote the shares and obviously they take your instruction.
If the shares remain in the brokers name, then the stockbroker would have to be instructed how to vote the shares.
But best cheque with whoever holds your shares.
Hope that helps.

Liverpool playing well, got lucky there but, wheeewwwwww
Liverpool getting in about Villareal in the
first half,they don’t like it up em
CorporaljonesCSC.
Liverpool not playing anywhere near the way the commentators are saying
If you ever wanted to see the definition of ‘high pressing’ then Liverpool’s first half has typified that.

Fantastic earlier post.
Can I thank TTR who pointed out at 5s tonight the glaring error in my post at around 4:55pm.
I would of course have preferred option A!!!!!!
I hope those English scousers get hammered
Liverpools ” high pressing” had achieved the desired early goal. However Villareal are very comfortable on the ball and although the keeper looks a bit rattled, there is a threat about them.
If Liverpool get a head of steam up in the last fifteen minutes then they should be too powerful if they force a procession of set pieces. Well set up for the second half as the commentators would say..
Embramike, I have just read your letter to the Peter Lawwell formally referred to as the sharp suited man.
Thank you, it certainly hit the mark with regards to justifiable concerns some of our support have with the long term direction of the club.
Offshoregame.net twitter account raising the lid on SFA but STV and BBC “correspondents” as usual hiding. One has “lost” his internet connection.
Keep up the pressure lhads. HH
Thanks HT but should you not be out getting the law changed :-)
PS Almost typed ‘the law charged’ then I thought ‘that’ll do nicely too !’ :-))

For anyone interested this is a recording of my stint on Desert Island Tims with Billy Nowell .
It was a recorded in May 2013.
If you have insomnia or whatever feel free to listen and hopefully enjoy — sorry the songs are not on it and it is just my idiotic talking.

Is that in the second part of the game, when you were both standing still as we ghosted past you to score all those goals? :-)

OFFSHORE HERTZ FAN’S ALL OVER IT.Plenty people in Scotland, media included and especially, treat this as a contentious issue – as if the different club argument is only kept alive by a few Internet saddos motivated by hatred or bigotry. But this isn’t a question of faith or interpretation. There is only one truth here, one reality. By the rules and regulations as they were in 2012, and crucially, by the way those rules were interpreted by EVERY SINGLE PERSON with even a passing interest in Scottish football, this entity is not the same as the one that existed prior to 2012. In every case previously when a Scottish club got into financial difficulty everyone, and I mean everyone (officials, media, fans) took that to mean the existence of the club was in danger. The idea the club could separate from the endangered business simply didn’t enter anybody’s head. You might think it’s boring, fuelled by bitterness, or even pointless, but it doesn’t change the undeniable truth that this isn’t the same Rangers.

Right, just had a long dicussion with Mrs BGFC, and very happy to say that BGFC and Wee BGFC are 100% approved for the 2017 Lisbon pilgrimage :-)
Excited already – our vote would be for Tue/Wed through to Sunday. May weekend, so minimal school truancy required – HT won’t mind if it is a combined ‘stag do’ anyway (given the timing of his recent trip, looks as if that might be where the question was popped!!!).
Wee BGFC thinks he’ll look old enough to blag a sneaky wee shandy.
Will email you BRTH.

PS, Wee Nicola thanks you for your support at the ballot box today :¬)
Embramike,
It will be interesting to see if our illustrious CEO will be gracious enough to reply.
There is no defence he can offer—-apart from Level5 are destabilising the club.
It’s amazing how he has hung Ronny out to dry and will soon roll out the next puppet.
I wonder if Ronny blames level5 for his exit or Saint Peter.

Did you know a family from Bellsmyre called Ferns? Just asking like.
Hi BRTH
I’ve never had any direct communication with you previously Sir, however, follow your contributions especially in regard to “Res 12” and I’ve shared some “off site” communications with Auldhied re same – ALL supportive / appreciative of collective efforts to date – 1000% behind “the cause”.
Anyway…………noticed your communication to another CQN “stalwart” – Tontine Tim – re the Ferns family from Bellsmyre ( presume…..Iain / Rita + Sons & Daughters ) and as a Old Bonhill man myself + another Ex “Tradamus Lampada” veteran of a certain vintage, I can confirm that I knew them very well – especially one of the aforementioned daughters in particular – whit a babe she wiz !!!!
There’s a right good few punters on this site from The Vale / The Renton / Dumbarton….no doubt Balloch / Helensurgh / Cardross also……….and I reckon we must ALL know each other somehow or via our shared connections – family / friends / parish activity / supporters club events……….
If you don’t mind me asking, what would have been your own connection to The Ferns family – perhaps we know each other from a previous life ?
Hail Hail……..

witness statements “the janefield street riot”
http://www.thecelticwiki.com/page/Witness+Statements+following+the+Janefield+Street+%27Riot%27
I have to say that some of you chaos are pretty ungrateful for the effort and business sense I have instilled in celtic plc
On top of the financial results we have won 5 spfl titles in successive years while continually reaching scottish and league cup semi finals with cup finals thrown in regularly.
I would suggest you all get to the match on Sunday to celebrate then purchase your new replica shirts and season tickets this month.
BRTH, thanks for the advice.
I live abroad, and my wee daughter has only recently found the shares documents, which she “mis-placed” on their arrival at my old address. I’ll check the papers, and get in touch with the btoker (Hargreaves Lansdown).

3-1 Seville
The Janefield Street ‘Riot’ (1985)This is a featured page
Incidents, Events & Controversies | About Celtic
Brief outline
1 May 1985 Celtic 1-1 Rangers
Match page
Aitken penalty on 2 min; scored but retake ordered because ball moved;
2nd one saved off the Rangers keepers legs;
52 minutes Davie Cooper sent off (2nd yellow) for foul on Peter Grant;
71 minutes Dawson off for an off-the-ball against Johnston;
77 min penalty to Rangers Aitken handled
So an interesting game leading up to ensuing “riot”.
4000 plus Celtic fans exit via Janefield St. Crowded. (in the past many more had exited this way without problems)
At some point a mounted police decides there is a ruck developing between opposing fans (denied by all subsequent statements by those involved). He orders 5 mounted police horses to charge through the crowd.
‘Balaclava’ style charge through absolute mobbed street. Mayhem results.
They turn at the top of the street and charge back down again.
People already panic-ed start in on police and second charge is met by coins and stones
Police, not content and they call for backup – more mounties and plods arrive. 2 further charges follow. Open battle breaks out with police. Police start snatching people when full marias arrive. Numerous examples of excessive force in arrest. Many innocent bystanders nabbed.
100 yard of brick wall topped with steel railings collapses; people being let in and thru houses to get away from police, people handing kids up onto verandas to get them out the way
9 police injured including the original 5 mounties, 1 police with broken nose requiring hospital
39 fans injured, 10 requiring hospital treatment
69 arrests made (41 for breach of the peace – all the police figures confusing as it also includes arrests made inside the ground and pre-game also, 19 for carrying drink, 9 for minor offences.)
Strathclyde Police Chief Constable Sir Patrick Hamill launches immediate full police enquiry.
Kevin Kelly, Celtic Director, makes immediate call thru Celtic View for eye witness statements from those involved and gets statements from Janefield Street residents. Next 2 Celtic Views publish 4 pages of statements all stating that there was a peaceful but crowded exit before the police decided to charge.
Results of Police Inquiry published December 1985 exonerate police – no action to be taken.
Dennis Canavan raises question in House of Commons. Now alleged that 21 police injured and 12 “civilians”. Solicitor General for Scotland dismisses Canavan’s charges and 62 yet to appear at courts
Celtic set up Police Liason Committee in January to meet regularly and later appoint Security Officer (ex-Strathclyde Police inspector)
Independent action brought against Chief Constable of Strathclyde Police by Easterhouse solicitors on behalf of a young girl injured

Apologies if I missed a reply but BRTH, Auldheid and Canamalar I asked earlier whether, given the position of res 12 and Celtics continued refusal without explanation to,take this to,UEFA, you had a view of whether renewing st now is a good idea?
What a peice of skill from Firminho there!

A quick call to Paul67 to put some propaganda out about Level5 and attempts to destabilise the club. What immature nonsense.

CATHEDRAL VIEW on 5TH MAY 2016 8:42 PM
It may be worth considering that not renewing season books does not necessarily equate with a boycott of the club and can simply be a decision not to pay for tickets for every home match upfront before the start of season and at the same time send a powerful message to the directors of our club.
——————————————-
That’s precisley my current thinking. It’s linked to the ole supply and demand thing. A season ticket gets you both a guaranteed seat and also first dibs on tickets for the “big games”. Over the last 3 or 4 years how many of our games have actually sold out? A couple of European ties maybe. The particular seat I currently have in the ole main stand was primarilly to ensure a quick getaway after the Saturday 3pm games as I played the piano at 6pm vigil mass. But as I’ve recently (ahem) retired from that there’s no particular reason for me staying in the main stand where the seats are a bit dearer than mostother areas anyway.
This season, single matchday tickets were generally £29. My season ticket cost me, I think, £505. 19 home games, bought individually, would be £551. If you know who finish top 6 next season I’d attend a maximum of 17 at a cost of £493. And individual tickets would allow me to get a different matchday experience at various different parts of our stadium.
So looking very much like it’ll be a pay as you go deal for Jobo.
Oh, and my decision to move (if I do) is nothing to do with the eejit that sits a couple of rows in front of me ;-)
