Atletico, Malaga, “breathtaking hypocrisy”

1307

I was pleased Hearts won last night as all season I’ve been telling people we will win the league by double figures. Dropping the ball on Wednesday night put that in jeopardy but the gap is back to 12 points ahead of the visit of Motherwell on Sunday.

Ronny is likely to deploy more first choice players for his final game as Celtic manager against a Motherwell team who staged a remarkable recovery after a dreadful 2015, which would have seem them relegated if it weren’t for the huge gap between Premiership and Championship.

It looked like farewell from Emilio on Wednesday but you have to expect a few more will possibly make their final competitive appearances in the hoops this weekend.

I see a “Five-in-a-row but Peter Lawwell just cannot win” article in The Scotsman. Aye, fair enough, but the article ploughs into the Resolution 12 guys, and accuses other Celtic fans of “breathtaking hypocrisy”.

It appears to imply Financial Fair Play rules are not applied elsewhere in Europe (citing Atletico Madrid), so there should be no issues with the rules not applying to Rangers in 2011. I don’t follow Spanish club licencing too closely, but you will remember Malaga being banned by Uefa for having “overdue payables” to the Spanish tax authorities.

The rules ARE applied, clubs are banned from European competition for overdue payables.

I’ve been in touch with both the Res 12 guys and Celtic on this matter this morning (they continue to work together on a daily basis). It’s fair to say both robustly rejected the tone in the article.  I don’t know how this matter will end, but it will not be decided at Hampden, or in a newspaper office – cards marked one more time.

Zlatan on ending his stay at PSG, “I came like a king, I leave like a legend”. And then some.

    The Huddle I checked the Celtic website and saw no mention of Resolution 12. Poor reply from you amigo. Expected better.

    Expecting better, that was your first mistake :O)

    Lawwell being involved in hiring the manager means it is fundamentally flawed. He selected Deila ……….

     

     

    ==============================================================================

     

     

    P.L. denies that.

     

    Specifically.

  3. I am reminded this evening of the clash song death or glory.

     

     

    The line about nuns and later joining the church.

     

     

    Are the luminaries on cqn too close to the board?

  4. Until we see the Celtic FC statement on Resolution 12 we should hold fire on what we are being asked to support.

    The CQN support appeal isn’t linked to the Celtic statement, it’s what the Res12 folks want. I assume those guys are ok with the advert

  6. Peter Lawwells time is up at Celtic in my opinion. That being said some of the abuse he takes on here is well over the top and really nasty truth being told.

     

     

    If he does go he’ll leave us on 5 in a row , the biggest sponsorship deals we’ve ever had and financially one of the best run clubs in Europe.

     

     

    Sometimes it takes someone to leave us and we don’t appreciate what they’ve done until years later.

  7. For anyone interested, Glasgow’s tribute to the 1916 Rising will take place tomorrow.

     

     

    The parade will leave Kelvin Way at 12 noon and make it’s way to Glasgow Green where Geraldine McCann will give the speech.

  8. Why is this site so fond of bashing Celtic supporters?

     

    Do they dislike these Celtic supporters for below reasons

     

    For not having blind faith in our custodians.

     

    For not being impressed with duff coaches.

     

    For not being impressed by signings,

     

    For not being impressed by 2 years of poor football.

     

    For not being impressed with European humiliation by average teams.

  9. The Huddle I understood a joint statement was being made by the club and the supporters.

    For not trusting our custodians

     

    For being impressed by the decent coaches Lennon Ronny

     

    For being impressed by signings like Virigl, Vic, Forster

     

    For being impressed by winning 2 titles

     

    Ok give you that one, but be prepared to be humiliated by many teams in Europe

  12. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    Fan a tic,

     

    There is a flip side to every one of those

  13. MoonbeamsWD on 13th May 2016 11:44 pm

     

     

    Surely you mean – ask Canamalar, Morrisey, Auldheid or BRT&H.

    Yeah it was assumed they’d been asked

    Much looking forward to it. Look out for me, I’ll be wearing a lily on my lapel :-)

  16. God Bless The Glasgow Republicans

     

     

    In Bodenstown Churchyard there lies a green grave

     

    And wildly around it let winter’s winds rave

     

    Small shelter I ween are the ruined walls there

     

    When the storm clouds roll in on the plains of Kildare

     

     

    Once I lay on that sod, it lies o’er Wolfetone

     

    And thought how he perished in prison alone

     

    His friends unavenged and his country unfreed

     

    “Oh bitter” I said “is the patriots mead”

     

     

    For in him the heart of a woman combined

     

    With a heroic life and a governing mind

     

    A martyr for Ireland, his grave has no stone

     

    His name seldom mentioned, his virtues unknown

     

     

    I was woke from my dream by the voices and tread

     

    Of a band that came into the home of the dead

     

    They carried no corpse and they carried no stone

     

    And they stopped when they came to the grave of Wolfetone

     

     

    There were students and peasants, the wise and the brave

     

    And an old man who knew him from cradle to grave

     

    And children who thought me hard-hearted for they

     

    On that sanctified sod were forbidden to play

     

     

    But the old man who saw I was mourning there said

     

    “We come sir to weep where young Wolfetone is laid

     

    And we’re going to raise him a monument too

     

    A plain one yet fit for the simple and true”

     

     

    My heart overflowed and I clasped his old hand

     

    I blessed him and blessed everyone in his band

     

    Sweet sweet is to find that such faith can remain

     

    To a man and a cause so long vanquished and slain

     

     

    In Bodenstown Churchyard there is a green grave

     

    And freely around it let wintry winds rave

     

    For better they suit him, the ruin and the gloom

     

    ‘Till Ireland a nation can build him a tomb

     

     

    Good Night & God Bless All.

     

    Keep the Faith.

    BTW…this story about the American guy who shot and killed a black teenager and who is now auctioning the handgun with which he carried out the shooting…and getting a great response, many hoaxes but still! ,,,obscene!

  18. Cairde na hÉireann (CNÉ)

     

     

    Join us tomorrow as we march through Glasgow to remember the men and women of 1916. It’s sure to be a massive event and if you are coming along to take part then we would encourage you to bring tricolours and Irish Republic flags to make it as colourful as possible.

     

    Assemble is 11.30am at Kelvin Way and we will finish with a rally at Glasgow Green where our main speaker will be Sinn Féin’s Jennifer McCann, a proud republican since the 1970’s and former political prisoner.

    I agree there is a flip side to most of those.

     

    But this site seems to have the most supporters who bash fellow Celtic fans.

     

    Dissent is no bad thing when viewed in context of events.

     

    There is certain irony that some will not accept any criticism of Celtic but feel perfectly comfortable directing it at Celtic fans.

     

    Debate should be welcomed.
