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.

MATS NILLOC (THE HISTORY MAN) on 13TH MAY 2016 12:45 PM
‘Will there always be a ‘Rangers’, in one form, or, another, in Scottish football?
The answer is of course yes, anyone saying otherwise is being disingenuous, or stupid.
So we must deal with this and concentrate our efforts on always being better and bigger than them.’
###
What does ‘in one form or another’ mean?
As far as the SFA and the SPFL are concerned they are exactly the same club as they were before the onset of liquidation. Same history. Same honours. The same club.
And Celtic have done nothing to challenge or contradict that view. Nothing.
I thought I just saw Neganon apologising in advance if he should repeat something.
I have called the emergency services. I think I will be ok.
Not a lot of folk know this, but…
Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye was based on Cole Porter’s experience of leaving the Army and getting a job down the pits.
He found the change, strange, of course.

I used to think Andrew Smith was weasily recognised as a Celtic supporter; it seems I was stoatily wrong.
I don’t even have any weaselable doubt about it.
BMCUWP – I’ve sent you an e-mail.

Thanks for your support,lads.
We WILL do this.
Lowell gets criticism and praise in equal measure.
Is he a great businessman?
Falling numbers and revenue suggest not.
Refusal to recognise dissatisfaction in your customer base smacks of arrogance.
My personal feeling is he is no longer up to the job.
The footballing world has and will change rapidly.
His strategy is to align with the past.
In a difficult landscape we need a progressive thinker.http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2013/may/28/rolling-stones-eric-swayne-in-pictures
We have a single purpose football remit which is to cultivate footballers for sale.
A disjointed approach across football operations that leads us to rear footballers for other clubs
The match day experience is poor as is our technology use.
To have a member on our board as head guy at BT who are heavily involved in the modern football media landscape and have the limited and decidedly amateurish Celtic tv beggars belief.
We need a modern progressive thinker in this role not a businessman with his ideology rooted in the past.
Hrvatski Jim i was of course referring to repeating anything anyone else had said. Have a wee read again.
Are you sitting your national 5 english?
Or do you write for the Scotsman under the psydonem Smith.
Maybe you will apologise to me?
Then again, bit like Smith in the Scotsman, you think the best way to negate someone’s point is to question their sanity.
Apologies about Guardian link in above post.
My computer is befuddling me.
Good pics though
For everyone who has already replied to my mail,please don’t think I’m ignoring you.
Jee-zoh,this is some place,seventeen mails of support already!
I will reply to each tomorrow with grateful thanks.
Straight after my imminent nightshift!
HH.
I don’t need to say KTF,cos my faith in human nature is now coming along nicely,thank you!
Zlatan would be perfect if only he had some more self ,eh!!

Sorry if I offended you.

I know you to be a clever enough fellow, so when you come to understand that the interview with Andrew Smith in the Scotsman was an open conference with journalists from other papers, and that, in contrast to the treatment given by other journalists, Smith has editorialised his copy to the effect you have commented on, you’ll probably want to withdraw your post on the topic.
You may want to read Stephen McGowan in the Mail, who presents only the questions asked and the answers given, and in the absence of Smith’s editorialising, it gives an altogether different picture.
As I say, you’re smarter than your post portrays.
We now have an agreement with The Guardian and are awaiting confirmation from the Swiss newspaper Neue Lurcher Zeitung.
We will publish a Statement in The Guardian on a Wednesday, with the target being Wednesday 25th May – that date might ring a bell or two!
The Statement will also appear in NLZ newspaper on the same date if all goes to plan.
The content for the Statement will be supplied by the Res 12 guys.
This will be paid for by crowd funding as was the case for the Statement in the Sunday Herald. We will ask someone like Celticrollercoaster to audit the funds received and payments made – any surplus to the CQN Malawi schools project.
We have added a NEWSPAPER STATEMENT option to http://www.cqnbookstore.com
You can contribute a minimum of £10 and you can up the quantity option to increase how much you want to put into this project.
We only have one week to raise the required sums.
Any books bought on the Bookstore over the next week will see CQN put £5 into this fund. Every little helps.
Hopefully Neganon 2 will get the ball rolling….
Here is the link…

TBB I didnt know that. But actually I think my point remains.
If Celtic disagree with the tone and facts of Smiths assertions lets hear it. What a great opportunity to put the record straight?
Winnings I am in work but will contribute this evening.
Dont you think celtic should openly complain about Smith’s article today?
Scripture 21C style?
Instead of Peter denying the truth 3 times before the cock crows is it 3 times before the squirrel squeaks?
Well we’ve had the first two….
Have we?
HH jamesgang

If as you first thought, that Pedro signed Smith’s article off, why would he then complain ?
Or am I just confusing masel ?
HH
Neganon
The record is straight. In the Mail.
In the Scotsman, it’s bent.
You want the CEO to put out a statement every time some 2nd rate hack gives a biased slant or an unkind opinion in print?
I dare say you might want that, but it doesn’t really add much value to the function he’s responsible for, does it.
WC
Thanks for the link. Very simple.
I would recommend that EVERYONE who believes that it is important that Res12 be given the utmost publicity should click on the link provided. Like I said, it is very simple.
Cheerio for now,

TBB
Do you have a link to the Mail article?

I’m no fan of Lawwell and believe his time is up, but I don’t blame him for Andrew Smith’s garbage article. I blame Andrew Smith.

Good to see some common sense. Trusting your fellow supporters(well, the ones who have been working with the club, not the ones spouting sh1te about lightbulbs and weasels!)

Since you asked so politely: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3588257/Bringing-Ronny-Deila-Celtic-boss-not-vanity-project-says-chief-executive-Peter-Lawwell.html
Question:
Much of the discontent revolves around Resolution 12 and whether Rangers should have been granted a licence to play in Europe in season 2011-12. Where do Celtic stand on this?
Answer:
We will say something on that shortly through our own means. We respect the views of all our supporters.
At the end of the day, we are a football club and want to play entertaining football, winning the Celtic way going forward. We need our supporters, at this moment, to unite behind us.
Every decision we make as a board is in the interests of Celtic. Every decision.
There is no other agenda, no other reason.
SFTB
I just got back in went out early to see a friend off, I noticed your thoughts on signings CFC and what PL said, more or less saying that you are all aff yer nut if that’s what you think, you go that Wee bit further with spin, saying what you think it is, and your idea of how it works, and what PL meant?
PL said he has nothing to do with them, and please ffs, don’t go into a university answer with a biblical type rant, I’m not the least bit interested , he told you nothing to do with him, that’s it, I knew that, you don’t believe him, fine, but don’t put in what you think he meant, ffs, another mind reader.
One newspaper statement purchased.

‘Every decision we make as a board is in the interests of Celtic. Every decision.’

A statement of the bleedin’ obvious.
The problem is that it’s an almost entirely subjective judgement as to what’s in the best interests of Celtic.
TBB
Thank you very, very much.
I remain your humble servant.
Mr J . Jim
if only I had an ole workin’ light bulb I could read this v.interestin’ magazine
Ernie
Yip, perhaps it’s so bleedin’ obvious because it’s an axiom.
And because it’s also subjective, it gives us all plenty of space to argue the toss.
Anything else?
Ever so ‘umble
