Several news outlets are running with our name attached to a prediction that we will join one other club in the English football structure within five years. This prediction is little more than background noise and is not indicative of any initiative or plan. A Scottish club cannot ‘buy’ an English club, relocated them and work their way through the leagues without the prior permission of both the Scottish and English FAs.
The notion of clubs buying clubs is not worthy of your attention and you should none of this ‘information’ should be used to support share valuations.
Celtic’s future is inextricably linked to the futures of Scotland’s other senior clubs, all of whom need to plan for their futures. Background noise like this only makes creating the environment necessary to fulfil those plans more difficult.

There’s always been climate change. It’s never changed as quickly as it’s changing now though. The historical record goes back quite a long way. A lot longer than the written one, buy quite a few thousand years.
I’m sure it is just coincidence that it ties in with large scale deforestation and the industrial revolution.
Ernie Lynch, indeed climate has changed in the past but never at this rate: http://climateandcapitalism.com/2013/03/24/the-hockey-stick-is-real-and-its-worse-than-we-thought/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-hockey-stick-is-real-and-its-worse-than-we-thought

And who said this?????…………….
”Many of us have been worried for some time now about the accumulating evidence of damage to the global environment and the consequences for life on Earth and for future generations. I spoke about this to the Royal Society in 1988 and to the United Nations General Assembly in November last year. Today, with the publication of the Report of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change, we have an authoritative early warning system, an agreed assessment from some three hundred of the world’s leading scientists on what is happening to the world’s climate—all this under your distinguished chairmanship, Dr. Houghton. I congratulate you on getting three hundred distinguished scientists to agree on a single report—you must be quite a chairman! It is a triumph for you today, both the Report and the opening of the new Centre for which you have obviously been very eager.”

‘There’s always been climate change. It’s never changed as quickly as it’s changing now though. The historical record goes back quite a long way. A lot longer than the written one, buy quite a few thousand years.’
Extrapolation and speculation and logic chains with more broken links than a Ratner bracelet.
Temperature records go back at most 150 years.
Before that it’s tree rings and core samples.
And confirmation bias among scientists depending for funding on governments with a set agenda.
Meanwhile people are cashing in.

Your donation has just arrived in my Wee Oscar account. Thank you very much indeed (and if I am embarrassing you by mentioning it here, remember that you are the one who spoke of piles on here 0:-) ). Thanks again,

PS Just about to attempt a short ride to Carmylie (known locally as cauld Carmylie) to buy some Stornoway Black Pudding. I may be gone some time.
Top of the morning to you all from a wintry west Fife.
The Wayside Club does a wonderful job.
I have a friend who is a regular attender and I have been in on a few occasions and must say how impressed I was by the volunteers who provide meals etc.

I have friends who work for major chemical pesticide and seed companies and they are spending millions developing pesticides for the European market for new pests, seed companies doing the same for drought resistant plants.

Commercial companies spending millions developing products to combat something that doesn’t exist. They’re going a long way to make this conspiracy seem as real as possible.
Hmmm as Paul67 might say.
Climate change ——- Sicilian style ..
The springs , summers and autumns are getting hotter and drier .
The winters are getting colder and wetter ..
There is a new weather phenomenon called ‘leopard spots ‘ ——- very localized torrential rain ——-it can be absolutely pouring in one place and be blue skied and bone dry a km away .
Very grey / very wet and rather windy -way down south. Temperature @ 15

Scotland could sell water worldwide! It just rains constantly these days. The summers are getting worse.

Anybody hear Clyde SSB last night (I know I shouldn’t….)
Gerry McCullough is normally pretty balanced, but he struggled to contain the propaganda last night.
According to Sneevins – anyone who wants sporting integrity is a ‘chancer’.
And at the end of the show, when a caller was making the point about Sevco being a new club, Gerry McC had to jump in and tell both the caller and BFDJ that he would need to fade them BOTH out if they didn’t calm down. As the show was ending and the music was fading in, all you heard was BFDJ shouting out ‘140 years of history, 140 years..’.
Pathetic, childish, and incredible that this buffoon is let onto a national radio show.
Is WGS starting to get the “selective photo” treatment NFL gets from the MSM?
Going by the top three Here I would say yes.
Henriks Sombrero
I’ve not listened to that show in years but I can feel the pain of those that do. Listen to BBC Radio Scotland if you need a football fix. Radio Clyde SSB is a joke!
They could do a lot worse than get Roughie on it. Least he had some banter.
I doubt I would listen to it even then. An awful programme filled with adverts!

Have a look back 20,15, 10 years ago and see what the experts were predicting was going to happen.
Then compare and contrast it with what has actually happened.
I’m completely mystified as to why any sane person would want to waste their time listening to that fat, inarticulate buffoon Johnstone and the rest of the morons on radio Clyde.

You guys deserve it and more.

And thanks for the answer to Ernie’s poser!

I agree but I guess people need their fitba fix. Surely the time has now come for them to all just come clean and say I support X team and balance it up with people who support other teams. Everyone knows who they support anyway.
The English journo’s do it. Neville has managed it on Sky even though he is Man U daft!

The government in England has decided that those who wish to pursue a career in nursing will have to work as a healthcare assistant for one year as part of their training.
This is the headline response to the Staffs hospitals scandal where hundreds of people died through neglect and negligence.
From 5 live it would appear that medical staff were at fault when, in fact, the premature/unnecessary deaths were due to a management obsession with targets coupled with a culture of secrecy and cost-cutting.
===================================
People need to be asking why the Tories are doing so much grandstanding over this. This is part of the propaganda drive to soften us up to force more privatisation on the health service.
Yes there were problems in mid staffs. yes there were bad nurses. but as you rightly point out the management culture was the primary problem. The huge majority of nurses are caring, excellent workers. Isolated cases however grab headlines and suit those who would destroy the NHS for their own greed.

Our leader, Peter Lawwell
Juvenal, a Roman poet and satirist from 100 AD, coined the phrase “Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt”
Right now, there is a revolt going amongst some of the Celtic support the like of which I have not seen for 20 years. As a Celtic supporter all my life, I can honestly say that it rips me apart when things are like this. And whatever anyone thinks, the only man who can stop it is Peter Lawwell.
Now, you have all seen the harrassment of the Greee Brigade, you’ve heard the revelations of Stevie Cairney and you’ve seen the mobilisation of the support towards George Square at 12pm on April 6th.
These are worrying times and we have to come out of them soon.
There are lots of facets to this. You’ve got the SNP, The Bill and The Bill, These are long game issues that need co-ordinated effectively so that maximum impact can come from even minimum protest.
What can change now are the actions of Peter Lawwell and the instructions he is giving his staff, paid or voluntary. As the man in charge of the day to day running of Celtic, he faces the biggest crisis of his Celtic career and it is getting worse day by day. I’ve seen, literally, thousands of fans tweeting celtic asking for answers, asking for support for Apr 6th and demanding to know what the hell is going on at Celtic.
None receive replies.
This goes beyond being just a PR disaster for Celtic, it’s clusterf**k of Maginot Line proportions and it needs fixed immediately.
People can say that there is an agenda against Lawwell, fine, except no one brought this to Lawwell, he brought this on himself.
He needs to ask himself is he for us or not?
Celtic, as a club and support, need unity constantly as we have many enemies. What we don’t need is some fictive kinship bullshit that says if you buy a 125 scarf, you’re part of the Celtic Family.
We need genuine leadership to get us out of this mess and back to being who we are, a unique and wonderful club with an unrivalled history and support second to none.
The passion that comes from the Celtic support on this issue is our biggest weapon. All we have to do is have it pointing in the same direction.
And by the way, most of us can’t afford the bread at Celtic Park and we prefer fitba to circuses.

It’s an utterly pointless comparison as they were working with completely different data.
Like all people that consider scientific evidence properly I’m entirely open to changing my view but current consensus, supported by the evidence available is that climate is changing at a rate previously unseen and it seems to be linked to human activity.
Our ability to interpret the paleoclimatic data is improving constantly, and you know it may become clear that this is just part of the natural cycle. That wouldn’t stop people cashing in.
However to add some personal experience to this. When I first started skiing and snowboarding over 20 yrs ago, an Easter week in Aviemore meant pretty decent skiing and most slopes open. That is very rare these days.
STARRY PLOUGH
An absolutely EXCELLENT post.
No doubt PL will treat it with the usual contempt and disdain
On this,Peter,you have made a serious error of judgement.
You have more than enough enemies outside the tent without adding those who should be inside to them.

True. The snow was definitely softer then. You could fall and get straight back up as if nothing had happened.
Three years to the day since Neil Francis Lennon took charge of our club.
From a crushing 4-0 defeat at St.Mirren to the victory over Barcalona and the last 16 of the Champions League.
Neil has faced personal attacks of violence and assault. Parcel bombs have been sent and safe houses endured by him and his family.
The man is a source of inspiration to his own family and to the Celtic Family.
Hail Hail Neil Lennon.
