I consume tons of BBC material, TV, radio, Sounds and online. It is the most value for money media out there (apart from CQN). It has is critics, those who would do away with it and leave the road open for the global conglomerates – that is never how they see it, of course, but I would campaign for its continued independence.
When Celtic marked the death of Shane Warne, a long time Ange Postecoglou fan, their choice of photo was attacked by a BBC correspondent on Twitter. Unfairly so, judged the BBC Editorial Standards Board, who issued a takedown notice. The correspondent did as he was told, albeit without the grace to apologise.
For a long time Celtic have been a cheap hit. Politicians and journalists have felt free to work in the darkness of innuendo, an indication of the drop in standards across public life in general. Some standards are worth maintaining. We can only hope lessons will be learned.

Fekin pseudo religious nonsense,mixed with a bit of everything.Just what are you talking about?
Everyone else afraid to say it,for some reason,but I rarely see anyone respond.Don’t think they have a clue either.Is it in code?
……………….
Please leave PETEC alone. He is concerned about a questionnaire issued to Scottish school children which Ernie posted about yesterday. The questionnaire is probably issued under the guise of Health/Sex Education. PETEC is expressing his concern about it. I think the population at large should be concerned about it if there is any truth to it.
If you don’t know what he is on about you could just scroll past.
Ange is a puppet.
Ange ball has rendered Celtic as a Scottish puddle league level team.
“I don’t know what you mean mate??” hides nothing and only fools the fools.
Not a word of support for fans being asked to display their medical records to get into a stadium to to see their team??
Only Jim Goodwin had the balls backbone and grace to stand up for his supporters, whilst Ange sat at the back of the bus with a stupid muzzle on to protect himself from a killer virus with a 99.999997% recovery rate??
The BBC etc, awe said it was scary so it must’ve been true eh??
“Believe in the science they awe said!”
Eye.
Believe in the scientists who wont release the data of the side effects, for 75 years??
And the dim Tims smeared anybody who wasn’t a cowed coward like them??
Deary me.

I agree 100%. My pal said 30 years ago, put a team on the park and the fans will turn up. Celtic are no longer just a football team. They have become an obsession, a religion and are a cultural identity for millions of people. Fergus dragged the club into the future with his vision but time has moved on and you have to maintain and upgrade your property or it will cost you at a later date.
Most people are in agreement that the Main Stand is in need of a refurb/redevelopment. That is a broad term and we watch EPL and European stadia and try to imagine what a New Main Stand might look like. I want the ground to have a capacity of 75-80000 fans but I don’t know if that’s doable. That’s why I like reading your ideas. I would love to read other posters ideas on what a redevelopment might look like. I don’t think it’s an option to do nothing.

That’s quite a list.
Off to watch Peaky Blinders.
Evening all
Not a political post, even not a football post (‘com on Ange’s ‘tic ra morra),
Please don’t give the trolls oxygen ( borrowed from BANKIEBHOY)
SCROLL BY, anyway, a few tunes before I’m off to get tucked up in ‘ma cot’
This season was predicted by these ghuys

The shorter list — although it is still far too long — is the crap that has won an Oscar.
Films / actors / directors — usually off the back of a good PR campaign.
How many of the Best Film awards have returned to well earned obscurity?

The Hollies.
Just saw the highlights from the Celtic Ladies Match today. After the terrible tackle received by Chloe Craig that did not result in a booking, we got even more dubious treatment today against Glasgow City.
Our only keeper had to be taken off after 10 minutes after an opponent had stamped on her ankle as she was clearing a 1 vs 1 contest. Them the ref allowed play on when a City player dragged Caitlin Hayes down witha blatant arm tug. Our manager Fran Alonso was red carded (again) after complaining to the ref.

MM, at the least the Main Stand needs gutted and updated, I noticed someone post about it being around 50 years old, I would suggest that the roof and Sky Box may be but the rest is far older

SFTB -can I add A Bronx Tale to that list of films 👍
I like reading Mad Mitch’s vision for a Celtic Park upgrade. His vision for the new South Stand is particularly detailed.
How feasible it is, I honestly don’t know. But 10/10 for effort.
We all know that a revamp is necessary however I don’t see mega investment at this current time.
That should not stop us planning though.

What does Park the Bus say? I haven’t read any of his posts since I read the first one I saw by him. Is he a robot?

Less accomplished than the previous two in series but Ada did pretty darn well with her screen time, stole the episode. Well played.
Killing Eve, brilliant.
Jodie Comer what an actress, has it all. ❤️❤️
I wanted to log in to read.
But, me being a timed wee soul I was worried that the new blog owners, and peepul who chose what you must post, might decide to call me an arsehole..

1/10 for environmental study, huge big unknown mines under the front car-park, piles the size of eamon holmes.
2/10 for finance feasibily, what real estate investment trust invests in glasgow east end.
3/10 for supporters investment,
maybe we could call the new stand “the club deck”, and give investors a name plate on thier seats.
they can hand it down to the grand weans

“I see they gave a Bafta to The Power of the Dog- that film is worse than La La Land and Moonlight put together.
I like a slow film that looks good on screen but……………..
you need a story and characters who behave in believable ways.
This had none of that.”
I really enjoyed that movie, I thought it was brilliantly scripted, shot, and acted. BAFTA winner? Maybe not.
“One man’s meat is another mans’ poison”, por cierto.

Forgive me for selecting just a part of your post. I think that “at this current time” those holding the “purse strings” at Celtic will believe that there are, or, may be, more pressing demands on our resources than infrastructure improvements.
Good morning CQN
Reviews of Films on CQN
The review below is of a show aimed at teenagers called sex education it’s on Netflix
Maybe not for the Victorian Mary Whitehouse brigade on CQN
Teenagers have no taboos on what they discuss about sex
As conversations you don’t want to have as a teenage boy with your mother go, one that begins “Sweetheart – I’ve noticed you’re pretending to masturbate” is right up there. But such is your lot when you are 16-year-old Otis (Asa Butterfield) and your mother is Jean (Gillian Anderson), a sex therapist whose work has brought enough unwanted knowledge into the home to have turned you off sex – even sex with yourself – for life. Otis has been planting evidence of standard teenage behaviour in his room to avoid maternal attention in this matter. Poor Otis.
But this beleaguered boy will shortly be taken up by badass cool girl Maeve Wiley (Emma Mackey), when she spots a lucrative opportunity to charge for the sex counselling skills he has unavoidably absorbed in a marketplace of anxious and furiously active teenagers.
Sex Education (Netflix) is a rare thing: it’s a series that foregrounds sex (literally – I thought one of the boobs in the opening scene involving schoolboy Adam and his girlfriend was going to take my eye out) only to let it illuminate everything beyond. Every character could easily be a stock, risible one – the teens could just be horny, Jean could just be embarrassing, Otis just a nerd, Maeve the manic-pixie-dream-girl love object we’ve seen a million times before. But none of them are, in this immaculately, densely written, glorious creation – her first for TV – of playwright Laurie Nunn.
And it’s funny. Endlessly and seemingly effortlessly funny, in a naturalistic way that doesn’t have you listening for the hooves of the next gag thundering down a well-worn track but, like Catastrophe, catches you almost unawares and makes you bark with laughter. And then, like Catastrophe, it can pivot smoothly and suddenly into moments that give you a lump in the throat and have you staring at the ceiling trying not to let your tears fall because crying would surely be ridiculous.
The sudden, flattening fear that comes over the normally ebullient Eric (Ncuti Gatwa), Otis’s gay best friend, when he sees bully Adam coming towards him, and the moment it takes him afterwards to recover, are just heartbreaking. All the performances in Sex Education are absolute wonders, by the way, but Gatwa is something particularly special. He is real, unaffected, joyful, with perfect timing and understated emotional heft. I hope this is the breakout appearance for him it promises to be: I want more of him on my screen as soon as possible.
Solving Adam’s problem (his clinic notes would read: “big penis, can’t come”) is what kickstarts Otis’s new career. Adam, despite being the headmaster’s son, is none too bright even before the blood rushes to his penis. Thinking Viagra will solve his orgasm difficulties, he takes three. Otis and Maeve hear his groans coming from a cubicle in the abandoned toilet block. “I feel lightheaded,” he says, clutching the doorframe. “And I can taste scampi.” Now there’s something that will take your eye out.
To distract him, Otis asks what led to this drastic course of action, and out his tale of woe comes. Otis offers his advice (“The myth surrounding large cocks is affecting you, and the visibility of being the headmaster’s son. Those things can’t change but your outlook can. I think you need to own your narrative”) in exchange for Adam laying off Eric.
When Maeve hears via the female information exchange that Otis succeeded where Adam’s girlfriend’s hard work and enthusiasm had failed, the hunt for new clients is on. Otis even finds himself emboldened. “Mum, I can’t masturbate. I don’t want to talk about it. I’m dealing with it on my own,” he says. Jean pauses, nods acquiescence and says: “Thanks for telling me.”
I know it’s early but if there’s a better, sweeter, punchier comedy this year then, for sure, 2019 is on Viagra too.
Whatever ordinary comprehensive educated teenagers talk about or get up to
It doesn’t come close to the Royal family
Probably all that buggery at expensive private schools to blame, BTW do they get the census ? you would need therapy after reading them
One brother admits to an affair & was friends with Savile, his wife the future Queen Consort was his lover, the other brother had a convicted paedophile as a friend & paid £12m to a woman he says he never met. Now this: https://bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57042823… and some want Jubilee celebrations?
Prince Michael of Kent was willing to use his royal status for personal profit, and provide access to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime, a Sunday Times and Channel 4 report says.
The Queen’s cousin was filmed at a meeting in which undercover reporters were told he could be hired to make representations to the Kremlin.
His friend, the Marquess of Reading, later described him as “Her Majesty’s unofficial ambassador to Russia”.
The prince, 78, has denied the claims.
