Well done to Tony Hamilton and his team at Celtic Charity as well as the 60,000 participants for a memorable weekend which confirmed the spirit and heritage of the club. It was great to see Martin O’Neill and Kenny Dalglish revel in, as well as so many of our more recent heroes, some of whom are aging better than others.
Credit also to the English Premier League players who turned up in such numbers, and who spent 85 minutes avoiding Bobo Balde, after Robert Pires ‘met’ the central defender early in yesterday’s game. For all the array of talent on show over the weekend to prize goes to Carlos Cuellar, who spent £11k at the charity auction in the Kerrydale Suite on Friday night, the biggest donor by some distance.
The wee guy from One Direction looked terrified from the moment he first flicked his hair on the touchline, and he was on the same team as Bobo. I’m sure he’ll recover quickly from his knock and enjoy telling the story for decades to come.
Henrik still has it, his movement was unmistakable but ‘Big Greenock’ looked like he was still 22.
The report by the Scottish Law Reporter yesterday that the Crown Office are in possession of material in which prosecutors refer to possible “discussions between former Police Officers employed by a media firm connected to Rangers FC and serving Police officers” moves the debate on recent well-publicised leaks onto a new level.
Charlotte Fakes has apparently been reported to police for inappropriately obtaining material. While this has yet to be established, the act of reporting the content as being inappropriately obtained, had the unintended consequence of confirming the authenticity of the material. All of which puts the content of said material under scrutiny.
Post-Leveson the media have been cautious on reporting Charlotte Fakes material without clear evidence that a crime had been committed by ‘victims’ of the leak. If the Crown Office have now acted, parts of the media still independent may be emboldened.
With Charlotte Fakes now as easy to find as Keyser Soze the direction of the police investigation will be difficult to predict.

The current Celtic squad has more CL appearances than most of the bottom half of the EPL players put together. I love the myth that the English think their league is streets ahead of anywhere else. Would love an English team in the last 16 of the CL.
LB
Geordie munro exactly. Were Celtic in epl then any player not signing for top 6 club wud choose us ahead of all the also rans down there. Comparing squads the now is like comparing apples an bananas but suits folks agenda.

Scotlands shame, it’s like saying how well would man utd etc do if their telly money was cut from what it is now to somewhere close to a million quid!?
Summa, that’s ok. We have our fair share of dafties too:)
Arthur Calwell ?.
I read his memoirs [ can’t remember the title ]. Bought second hand from a wee place in Bank Street .
Strongly denied he was a racist but insisted that Australia wouldn’t /couldn’t survive if it became a multi racial society.
Big up for Tony Hamilton and all others (players, fans, managers, celebs, etc) connected with a truly unique day in Scottish football, and on this occassion the money will go to charity and not to Charlie Green’s retirement fund.
Scottish Law piece on HMRC/Police and CF is interesting.
Scottish Law are also covering my petition here:
http://scottishlaw.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/holyrood-petition-seeking-declaration.html
Please consider signing and pass it on………please!
A speedy recovery for Gold Coast Tom.
I a complete non believer lit a wee candle today in a very impressive cathedral today for Starry Plough. Hope he is coping.
Quite interesting that apart from now being a heathen I now feel totally relaxed and comfortable in any place of worship. I cant say that was always the case.

big nan,
Is it possible for peoplenot under the rule of the Scottish Parliament to petition the assembly?
GCT,
Keep up the good progress and good luck with your results.
“When the Celtic squad is looked at, it doesn’t even compare to the squads of even the worst teams in the Premier League. In short, they would be in a relegation fight”
Presumably the worst teams in the EPL would be qualifying for the knockout rounds of the CL, being that in the last two seasons Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City (twice) have failed to do so…..
Big nan
just put the link on twitter again..cant believe only 800have bothered to sign this crucial petition

I did think about Celtic TV, but the Internet speeds seem a tad on the slow side especially for hotel Wifi. Will look into it. Thanks

big nan,
Is it possible for peoplenot under the rule of the Scottish Parliament to petition the assembly?
………………………………………………………
Nothing to stop you.
Guje Borgesson, the mother of a Swedish girl Annie who was found dead on Prestwick beach petitioned the parliament calling for a Fatal Accident Inquiry into all suspicious deaths.
She was let down by the parliament and MSPs who treated her as if she was a paranoid mother not prepared to accept that her daughter had taken her own life by drowning.
There was no evidence of suicide and a fair bit of evidence to the contrary but it is simpler for the police and authorities to simply rule out foul play and attribute death to suicide. There are several other cases like this where overwhelming evidence of murder/manslaughter is simply not investigated for various reasons and accidental death or suicide is given as the cause of death.
Simply, yes one foreign national that I know of has petitioned the parliament.
Good luck & all the best to Gold Coast Tom Mclaughlin on his recovery & well done Carlos Cuellar on his auction bid on behalf of Stan
WIGAN manager Owen Coyle has a clause
in his contract that will allow him to take
the reins at Celtic if the position becomes
vacant.
Dave Whelan, chairman of the
Lancashire side, appointed former
Bolton boss Coyle in the summer, and
was asked if he could see the FAI
contacting him about the former Dundee
United striker replacing Giovanni
Trappatoni as manager of the Republic
of Ireland national side.
Trapattoni endured a torrid time at the
2012 European Championships, with
Ireland scoring just one goal and letting
in nine and their recent 2-1 home defeat
to Sweden in a World Cup qualifier has
left them with a mountain to climb if
they are to reach the finals in Brazil in
2014.
Recent results have led to some people
questioning the 74-year-old’s abilities,
and Coyle was one name mentioned as a
possible replacement.
Whelan said: “You never know. One
thing [Owen] said to me when I gave
him the job was ‘If Celtic ever come in I
want the job at Celtic’.
“That’s one thing I respect.”
Yesterday’s game is on BT Sport 1 @ 5pm

Yep , Celtic Fitba[ and Athletic Club…are no whit Ah wid call.. A Prime Time Player,in the world of Soccer…….. Yet!
Howevahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Wance we get oor Middy Sorted..
And. We Wull.. Yes, Virginia.. We wull!
Then , I am certain, we wull be become a Force tae be Reckoned with, on the World Stage.
Oor Present Mid Field Incumbents.. jist… well.. Frankly Speaking..
Leave a Loat tae be desired…as tae thur Over all Qualiteeee..
Broonie, is A Hasher and ..at times. A Basher.. but..
He is Not wit wan wid term.. a .. Mental Giant.. Is He?
Ledley,is.. well.. In Ma opinion.. Ledley ,has Fashioned himself.
Along the same.. Goldilock’s Lines.. as.. Mr. Lennon, did, before him.
Not too Hot…. nor… Not too Cold.. But..
Jist Acceptable..
Which is Not the kinda ambition that Ah wid wish .. a Celtic Mid fielder tae Hiv!
Acceptable,is jist Not Acceptable!
Tae end up …Right in the Middle of the Skill Curve.. is Not the Ideal Spot.. where My ideal Celtic Middy should be ensconced.
Kayal.. disnae even rate a Mention.
Noo.. Tom Rogic, could.. Ah said Could. Gradually, force Ledley,oot ot the Reckoning..
Yep.. He could…but. that is Not fur certain.. We will hiv dae a “Wait and See” ,oan that wan.
But, Ah hiv high expections that , he May do.
Ah am excited aboot this Israeli Chap.
Strider.. as Ah hiv dubbed him.. and when ye watch how he evades tackles.. by ,the simple expedient of.. increasing his Stride.. jist that leetle by mair.. than the Tackler his estimated that he is Capable of daein.
Ye wull See why Ah hiv Dubbed this New Kid…so.
Yes,Ah am excited by this Guy, Nir.
Like Ah said.. Even if .. Young Rogic or Young Nir, do not Reach the Heights.. of which Ah hope they wull
Nevahtheless…
Ah still Maintain. that Baith of these Kids…offer A loat mair Skill and fitba’ Intelligence.. than Our Present Two Mid Field Incumbants..do… even,oan thur Best Days( which are few and Far Between)
In Ma opinion.
It is a Miracle that .. Oor Strike Force..hiv done so well..
considering …. the Dire Paucity of Scoring Assists…that emanate frum oor Engine Room.
That is….In Ma Opinion ..of course. In Ma Opinion.
Sort oot Oor Engine Room, Mr. Lennon.
And.. To be fair…
it does seem that You Are at least Making an Attempt tae do so,as warranted,
by your fairly recent Acquisition of Rogic.. and Now, even mair, Recently.. of Nir.
baith Actions… of Which , I thoroughly approve.

Mention the Masons or Orange Order and fear becomes a factor.
Fear of retribution, by violence or otherwise is a spectre that lurks around these groups. Not without good cause.
Then there is the fact that most people simply do not want to stand up and be counted.
The latter factor is mitigated when numbers rise and there comes a time of critical mass (over 1000) when people feel more comfortable and this applies to the former as well in that there is a perception of safety in numbers……they can’t kill/harm us all.
But the man/woman working in an engineering works where the bosses slink away on a Wednesday night with their wee brief-cases would think twice about signing a petition of this sort especially if they had a name that was unusual like…..well…….like…. Minogue.

They are marvellous.
I have them saved on my laptop from when they were originally posted.
They would bring tears to a glass eye.
In an age of modern telecommunication,it is all too easy to forget that many families were split up and rarely if ever heard from each other again.

Saw the Behind the Scenes dressing room footage on Celtic TV.
Excellent stuff.
John Terry sitting next to Danny McGrain with his hand on Danny’s shoulder as both looked at the team sheet and laughed was pretty cool.
Rab Douglas asking Louis from 1D for an autograph was bizarre in a room full of heroes.

Beautiful and heart breaking thanks for posting. Some of the posts on here about others seeking refuge are deeply disturbing. Ironic given that so many of the Celtic support are the descendants of refugees.
Many thanks to whoever put up Scotch Warrior in the 4.50 at Perth – it just won by a head ;-)

I was unfortunate to be 20 in 1989, just as i was really into going to the games home and away, ‘they’ were winning all the time, and ‘he’ was scoring against us with astonishing regularity (I think he ended up with 27 goals against us).
Big Roy was my hero back in the day, but endlessly skint, caught ball watching, a yard slow and must have hauled him down at least half a dozen times, ensuring a spot-kick.
Henrik on the other hand was scoring against the top defenders and the top goalkeepers in the world (not in europe) when he was at his peak, and I think if you asked most players in Europe at the time they would rate him the best.
McCoist did score a barrel load there is no doubt about that, but I dont think he could have got anywhere near Henke.
Only my opinion
Does anyone know when the CL Tickets go on sale for non SB Holders. Would like to take my bhoys to enjoy the experience and avoid them being mega jealous off their old da……

I’d suggest they were economic migrants rather than refugees.
jimmci-Last season ST holders got the option of buying extra packages,which I disagreed with BTW.Not everyone can afford a ST,so I hope the non ST holders get a chance to buy.

I’d suggest that you’re being pedantic and in actual fact they’re the same thing.
