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.

    You call it bashing but i see it as criticism.

     

    There is a huge difference.

     

    Criticism can lead to healthy debate and introspection on both sides.

    Am curious about the CQN poll concerning the available choices for our new manager…..who chose the 3 candidates….and under what criteria?

     

     

    Was it based on insider info…..I wonder?

     

     

    It’s a welcome initiative WC….hopefully Celtic Plc will chip in if required funds aren’t reached ;-))

    In my own experience CQN is a unique phenomenon with regards to the vilification of fellow Tims.

     

     

    I do think social media is a significant factor in this. When did a Celtic supporter ever refer to another Celtic supporter as a hun in the pub or on a supporters bus?

    You forgot Hooper and Ledley in your list of good signings.Though you seemed to omit plenty of duff ones.

     

    Lenny was a decent coach but beg to differ on Ronny .

     

    We have won the last two leagues and i know you can only beat those in opposition but we should have considering the vast resources we have over rest of teams in league.

     

    Do not agree i should be prepared to watch us humiliated by many European opponents as i think we have a capable squad who at least would make a game of it with a capable coach at the helm.

    HT…some of the exchanges on here, if they happened in the pub, would result in tables overturning and drink being spilled…

    In full agreement with you.

     

    This site seems to have many who take great pleasure in attacking Celtic fans with whom they differ.

    Your blinding wit is noted.

     

    And i would seriously never take advice from someone like you.

    I have not met many CQN’ers but I do not believe that many would do that!

     

     

    CQN has brought us together and paradoxically threw us against each other as we try to prove we are right.

     

     

    A right good night out is required to prove that I am right!

     

     

    And if I am not, at least go to a place with heavy tables!

     

     

    And yet we are still here.

     

     

    Hail Hail to you all

    All statements and activities are being carefully coordinated, will have the same message, will be written by the same author and will as I understand it, deliver not 100% of what we want but a significant percentage MORE!

     

     

    Celtic are completely onside.

     

     

    I have been hinting about this for ages but now am saying it.

    Only time ever seen that and didnt grimace was during a scene in “The Wind That Takes The Barley” when Black and Tans were shot dead as they supped their pints.

     

     

    Hate seeing drinks being knocked over but their blood spilled made up for it,

    No , pal.

     

     

    You called it ” bashing.”

     

     

    Perhaps you should take your own advice and call it “criticism.”

    Are we about to create our own media from within the media?

     

     

    Can we break free and have our voice shout louder, smarter and clevrererer?

  18. Macjay

     

    Sorry for the confusion.

     

    But i called the reaction to critical Celtic fans on here as bashing.

     

    If they had merely faced criticism i would not have asked the question.

     

    The response to them at times has been way beyond criticism.

  19. TheLurkinTim on

    Clunks,

     

     

    Thanks for that …..the bhoys have been discussing it…..just listened…. a saccharine disappointment ;-((

     

     

    Seems the plc have just realised that the media doesn’t need to mean printed…..welcome to the future ;-))

    Can`t help feeling sympathy for long suffering Hibs supporters.

     

    The Championship is not where they should be.

     

     

    Mind you , redemption , for me anyway , will come if they slay the hun dragon in the final.

  22. To every one going to the parade tomorrow,have a great day.Lots of my family going.Hope the weather stays good.

    The media we fight is mainly propagated by print, or at least kept alive by it in the main

     

     

    Therein our battleground lies.

     

     

    Which is why WC is going for it with another 2 print advert$!!

  24. Catching up on Bobby Gillespie standing in for Iggy Pop on bbc6. Playing some proper music.

     

    Just played Gil Scott Heron and told of his dad’s history with Celtic. Remarked that Celtic have Rod Stewart, Simple Minds, Primal Sceam and Teenage Fanclub as fans. And thems have Marty Pellow.

     

    It’s an old Alan McGee story, but sounded pretty damn good.

  25. Watched Sheffield Wednesday earlier and thought what happened to the Ross Wallace money
