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.

ABURNTOUTCASE @4:09 – Peter Lawwell spoke to a range of newspapers, the Sun, Times, Herald, Daily Mail and Scotsman. He pointedly did not do so with the Daily Record. There was no conflict with the Liverpool families, imagined, or, otherwise; any hint of this is merely mischief-making in very bad taste, much as the Record and Telegraph report on our new safe-standing arrangements.
MATS
You read like a cross between PL’s love child and an educated TD.
AL Mac I was saying my initials are AMcB. Were you with me in Vegas,Copenhagen,Barca,Villareal? If not,then I am thinking of someone else. Please accept my most humble apologies.
Mats Again,vindictive?

FFS,fellas,it’s not that big a toon. Stop wi the riddles.
Just phone the operator and ask to be connected to the only Tim in the village.
Paul67,
Time for a rethink.
They’re no even funny!
But Ross County and Aberdeen and Celtic will always be together! In the face of criminal cheating.
Bobby,what are you trying (or not) to say here. ;)
Mistaken identity son – wish I had been with you though…
Aburntoutcase
Remind me please….on this site, who vouches for you?
Al Mac First night in Vegas I met my hero Evan Williams and Tommy Callaghan. Feck your jetlag,them two bhoys could drink. Got chucked oot the bar at half five in the morn. I couldn`t sleep so I got up and went to another bar at 10am. Who were the only two guys in that bar?Yip,it was them.What stories they told me about the Lions and “The Big Man”
Al Mac Vouches for me? What do you mean?
AL
I’ll vouch for him,bud. Neither of you have met me,but I’m a fair judge of character.
Being a Kilwinning lad,I can spot a Hun a mile aff.
ABURNTOUTCASE
I have a very good friend-from here-who will vouch for the quality of the company of those two fine fellas.
Anyway,cot for me. A few hours done on the JustGiving setup. Hope I saved it!
BMCW,
Cheers, I just did the payment this afternoon and started getting paranoid.
I’ve got children.
Bobby,thanks for that.Just realised what Al Mac was suggesting. When I get called a FB,I tell them”you missed out the Unrepentant Durty FB,oh,and your team`s deid” ;)
ABURNOUTCASE @ 4:23 – Vindictive is the politest way to describe some who ‘vent their spleen’ on here, on occasion. Some would actually see Celtic hurt to further their views and agenda – so vindictive it must be.

I do not believe him. You do.
In that respect,we cannot argue as there is insufficient grey matter,only black and white.
You believe his words. I believe my eyes.
=================================================
Deila agrees with him , Bobby.
And he lauds his working relationship with P.L. and the Board.
That`s good enough for me.
But not for you.
O.K.
BMCUWP @ 4:20 – Neither, I am afraid to say. I am just a lifelong supporter with some business experience, who wants the best for Celtic. I am sure that you do too, in your own way.
Mats I agree to a certain extent,but not all who disagree with your viewpoint can be described as vindictive,surely?
ABURNOUTCASE – Vindictive – unforgiving, grudge-bearing, resentful, ill-disposed, implacable, unrelenting, acrimonious, bitter; says it all really.
ABURNOUTCASE @4:52 – Certainly not. However there are those…….
OK…..maburntoutcase….i have not met you…but maybe we have met recently if you’re working on the base in Invergordon – or in Nigg. Spend 50/50 there since last. 8 months.
Not doing the facebook shite here tho.
this used to be a great site for argument / discussion etc…miss it lots.
Al Mac I worked at Nigg on and off from 1981-94 then at the Base from 1996-2009. Been abroad since then. Ran a supporters bus for a wee while in-between times.
ABURNTOUTCASE on 15TH MAY 2016 4:09 AM
Macjay Do you think it was a good idea for Peter Lawwell to speak to the S*n,especially after welcoming the JFT96 group to Celtic Park? Was it a GIRFUY to the Record et al? Genuine question btw
===============================================================
Mate.
I get my impressions of U.K. newspapers from my fellow Tims on C.Q.N.
I`m in no position to offer an opinion as to why P.L. would choose one paper rather than another.
What is amazing to me is the number of complaints about “Celtic not speaking out “.
When P.L. does he is still condemned `cos he chose the wrong paper or didn`t mention the Resolution.
The fact:
Damned if he does.
Damned if he doesn`t.
Well, if you know me let me know.
I’m struggling with the initials.
I’m in the phonebook – no many o’ my name in the hielans!
Would love to speak.
Still a drunken unrepentant son of a drunken unrepentant Christian republican highlander.
An ma Bhoy’s nae a whig David Balfour……
Macjay Thank you for your reply. I just get the impression that there is a gap between the fans and the Board. Maybe a media-savvy PR man could help to bridge that gap. I have spoken personally to John Paul the SLO. He`s a smashing fella,very helpful,but IMHO not street-wise when it comes to the “churnalists”.
Al Mac David Balfour? Was that the wee fella that got kidnapped?
Nytol. Sleep well everyone.

=======================================================================
I don`t think that C.Q.N. is representative of the Celtic support in general .
Nor are the G.B.
They have their own agenda which they attempt to impose on Celtic.
J.P. would act according to his job description
Churnalists just create ” stories ” and controversy.
Best ignored `cos soon lots of them will be going away.
Today is the day we say goodbye to a chapter in Celtic’s history. For better or worse Ronny came with a plan to win. It didn’t always work out. But this is a full stop. He leaves with much affection.
The Celtic Football Club is infinite.
HH.
Good Morning Timland.
I was talking to a good tim during the week who
told me that he wasn’t hanging about for the trophy
presentation today, it takes too long and eats into his
beer time,you would think they would have it down to
a fine art by now.
Looks like another beautiful day,so if you can get up to
the game and hang about to see the trophy unlike my
beer hound pal.
An SNP spokeman said: “This legislation is about taking firm action against sectarianism and other offensive behaviour, and it speaks volumes about Labour’s priorities that they see teaming up with the Tories to try and scrap such laws as the most important issue facing Scotland. Opinion polls show this measure is widely supported by people across Scotland, and the public will take a dim view of the opposition using this for political games
Looks like it OBAF act is on its way and the SNP aren’t happy about it
Whilst I don’t believe PL “signs players” (of course he doesn’t), I think the suspicion is more that he has a very strong influence on the players we target.
Which is a slightly different, but hardly less influential, role.

=====================================================================
” Signs players.”
That`s precisely what he has been accused of.
“Strong influence ”
Reality check so that we didn`t bid for Messi.
Hanging offences for some.
Blantyretim 0741, where did you get that quote? Keen to read the whole piece.
Dundee weather on Trophy Day – full sun, not a cloud in the sky. Beautiful day for a drive through to see the Celtic.
And what’s this? A cooked breakfast? My cup runneth over. Life is ok right now!
Gie Ronny a rousing send off ?
4 weeks ago, Timdom was queuing along London Road
tae hing fae very street lamp post!!!
When will yeez stop being suckers ?
Ah mean, the died(lol) huns were parading the League trophy
roon Rugby Park whilst, back in Paradise 60,000 Celtic fans were
doing the huddle ?
Nae winnur the Celtic-PLC-Hierarchy see yeez as – easy meats!
Ronny was asked the other day if he’d be doing a final Ronny roar ?
Ronny was evasive cause, he knows that Big McGhee could and, probably
will hand Ronny his erse on a plate…..again.
It boils doon to this…..
Any Celtic supporter who buys a season ticket whilst Lawwell is still at the club,
is digging a ‘quick’ grave for Celtic FC.
Under Lawwell’s watch, the team have racked up an, undeniable amount of League
Championships so, why is the stadium half empty ?
I could take up the whole blog giving you reasons as to why I think that is, and, I won’t.
In the week gone by, who was Lawwell trying to reach through the SMSM ?
Ah mean, does he not know that the majority of Celtic fans don’t buy the papers ?
There are folk who will verify that Lawwell is a Celtic supporter ?
Would a Celtic supporter with the clout that he has, have brought in Ronny as manager ?
The PLC set up is, anti-Celtic and, pro the tory rich basturts who are in control of the PLC board,
not a ‘TIM’ to be found among them. Aye,….they’ll tell you that they’re Celtic supporters.
BS on a grand scale…imho.
Celtic will die if, the rudderless ship isn’t dismantled and restructured by, Celtic rebels.
See if,…..the Celtic supporters of today had the cojones of the Junglists who were the architects
of the removal of the Kelly’s & White’s then, the Res 12 bus would have been parked outside the Celtic Park main door with a big notice stuck on the windscreen declaring….
“Inside are all the relevant documents that cover Res 12. Get ti dealt with, or,….we’ll no be back!!!!!”
I’ll be making a donation to the Res 12 statement when my son gets home.
And, then another donation for the Kitalba appeal.
GFTB – One day I’ll tell ye all about the Jungle days :) LOVE!
You’ll Never Walk Alone….in the Jungle.
…….oot…….
