If Philippe Clement thinks Brendan Rodgers’ comments about the coming game between Celtic and Newco are disrespectful, he would be advised to avoid his own side’s fan media if the result does not go their way at the weekend.
Brendan suggested, “We can have a bit of fun”, using his ability to deescalate tension in his squad ahead of a big game. Clement, perhaps clutching his pearls, said Rodgers’ comment was “not really respectful towards my team.” Pity help him if he encounters his own fan media in the event he loses the game.
Clement went on to do some casual Beale Mathematics. It requires control over when you start counting the league table, a tactic which can quell a sense of inadequacy in football managers. Beale took over from that nice Giovanni van Bronckhorst, before going on a long streak of wins and telling everyone the gap in the table was nothing to do with him.
Picking up where his predecessor left off, Clement told the media on Sunday, “Six months ago we were seven points behind; now we are three points behind and we can go equal”. If he loses on Saturday, the reality of being two points clear one month ago, then six points behind, will stop the Belgian concerning himself with maths for a while. As Pythagoras often said ahead of the weekend, ‘Three points are all we need, lads.”

I agree it is not always easy to pass on one’s season book…but it is certainly easy to complain about it.
————–
when i was unwell my card was passed to the fella who sat next to me for a near 2 seasons, his son used it free of charge, and a donations was made to saint marys for the statue.
i dont complain for no reason, i see empty seats of people with a privelage ownership of a card, that is jealosly gaurded, meanwhile celtic supporters cannot attend.
is that ok with you ?
Yes.
wee bobby, to clarify, celtic supporters being locked out while there are empty seats because card holders will not attend is ok with you ?
Tangbhoy ,
You only focus on one part of my post, that is First Communions.
Like I said, I will be attending one on Saturday, and my ST will be used.
My other point was the amount of empty seats most home games, but like I said, miraculously there will be no empty seats on Saturday.
Too many “Old F@rm” fans in our support.
Can’t be bothered to suppport the team V Ross County, Motherwell etc, but pull out all the stops for Sevco games.
Will not attend is different to can not attend.
All this talk of what to do when you can’t attend would be a non argument if the Cektic ticket office would drag itself out of the 20th century and set up a system to sell or donate your seat when not in use…..simples. The technology is there.
Oliver Glasner says his players had “a lot of fun playing football” in their 4-0 victory against Manchester United.
Let’s have a lot of fun on Saturday.

that i agree with, easy to implement, goodness knows why they have not done so, rangers and hearts are a success on it.
will not and cannot are the same thing,
I cannot attend the communicion on saturday for a very presonal reason therefore I wil not be there.
Kelvinbhoy…that would be a solution.
Why doesn’t Celtic create a (miss game site)where a season ticket holder phones or texts that they are not able to attend a game ,then the club can put the seat number up for purchase.HH

wee bobby, to clarify, celtic supporters being locked out while there are empty seats because card holders will not attend is ok with you ?
“will not and cannot are the same thing,”
Wrong!
Celtic could set up the Ticket swap scheme, but there will still be some supporters who wont attend, and will not put their seat up for resale

“will not and cannot are the same thing,”
Wrong!
————-
try using a sentence to explain the difference.
If you CANNOT attend, and CANNOT pass on your seat , will it be sat in or not ?
Can = ability…
I can’t go = I am unable to go.
I will not continue with this debate. I can but I won’t.

Yeah, I was maybe a tad optimistic by saying a ticket scheme would solve but am sure it would be a major step in matching the ‘unable to attends’ with the ‘dying to attends’.
1924.
100 years ago.
Celtic win nothing this season, they cannot score goals, Patsy is thought off as done, James is a bhoy in waiting at Clydebank, but the commitee dont hold much hope for him.
This Ltd Company, once the greatest in the world, with the biggest most modern stadium in the world, with the most league titles and scottish cups is about to be usurped, the rise of a blue,orange and purple pennies is moving in to govan, and the landscape will chance for ever.
after the 1897 takeover, several families now own the Celtic, they funded the share purchase £10,000 at shares of £1. Not all the capital is released, the shares really are limited in who can purchase.
They didnt win the league for another 6 seasons.
But the war changed that and the great edwardian sides won 4 then 6.
Average croeds in 1924 were 17,000.
The families, O’Hara, McLaughlin, Kelly, White, O’Shaunassey, Glass, Dunbar, Grant, McKillop.
They would own the celtic for another 70 years, overtime squeezing out the smaller shareholders, they become lost in time “the old lady in ireland” becoming the biggest shareholder.
1994 was to change that, Celtic open to all, a refinancing of the club, 13,000 new shareholders, £620 to buy in,
well we are back there again. 7 families and institutions run celtic.
The small shareholders are lost in that 30 year time frame.
They bought in, but no longer go to AGM.s, those who do are ridiculed and made fun off.
The trust spends its time infighting.
The supporters associations care more about seats in the box.
the motions cannot raise 100 named shareholders.
and the worst for me, season card holders jealously maintain their ownership rather than letting new blood in.
we will keep winning, we will be this size for a longtime, but the apathy with the old gaurd will eventually kill the ethos of the club.
let the young takeover.
change is needed in the right way, new ideas, new policy, keep winning but do it with a new ownership modle, do it with people who care about the here and now.

A word of warning.
The Kingston Bridge is old and crumbling and it carries a lot of weight on it.
Hope yir horse is different.

I will not continue with this debate. I can but I won’t.
as long as you get to use your seat on saturday, as long as you are ok, that is great. have fun.
A wee thread from FF on Collum’s appointment for Saturday- they have a few headbangers, for sure.

There’s a rumour going about that Callum has a disciplinary hearing fast tracked for this week in relation to this incident in the Hearts game. Probably just fevered social media stuff, as usual

Remember ” Kingston BRIDGE” is NOT the ” TIP”.
I only mentioned THAT horse cos of the same FIRST name of the actual ” TIP”….” KINGSTON JAMES”
LOL
HH Mate.
SFTB- Looks fake,not currently on SFA Discipline Notices
It is definitely fake- I was just trying to prevent it spooking anyone.
:The SPFL have reportedly lined up William Hill as the new sponsor of the league in a “record agreement”.
Right have the huns got a conflict with that, have they got some other preferred bookie 🙄🤨
Prestonpans
It’s not Paddy Power. 🤣🤣
Artificial intelligence anyone?
Have a (long) listen to this…then again, maybe not. It’s a bit scary.

Sftb .I’m away for a shower after reading that . Each post reeks of utter hatred for us .
Noticed the Shipbank was closed when I drove passed at 5:00 – have the scallywags on here drunk it dry? 😉
HH
Call me Gerry
Wisnae me. For a change. 😁
Jeezo! Just read some of those FF comments and the words blowtorch, neck and mark spring to mind.
Look at this beauty… wtf?
We can’t and never would want to dictate the specific individual who referees our games.
But we can absolutely dictate that our games should be refereed by impartial professionals who don’t have a proven track record of cheating the club.
😳🤷🏼♂️🤦♂️😂😂😂
Had to invite the neighbours round for dinner
2 seats were empty at the table we paid for
Stivs do I have to do that for every meal???
BRRB
🤣
Or can we consisder breakfast as a friendly, so it dont matter about the empty seats….
