A club formed by the Irish immigrant population sends best wishes to Scotland and Ireland. Read all about it! It’s as though our heritage still has the power to shock. How timely the outrage came hours before Celtic launched their “We are Celtic – and we say No To Racism” initiative. This morning Scott Brown reminded us, “Celtic has been a club open to all people since its formation in 1888”. Stick to task, Celtic.
Congratulations to our former boss, Martin O’Neill, in getting the Irish to at least the knock-out round. Commiserations to our other former boss, Gordon Strachan. Gordon will be feeling sore right now but he should lick his wounds and stick to task. He got the better of Ireland on their head-to-head and came within a whisker of also getting the better of Poland. The loss in Georgia was typical Scotland – you cannot change everything in two years, while Ireland taking four points from six off Germany is inexplicable.
Gordon is by far the best man to take Scotland the World Cup 2018 qualifiers; get on with it.

Just checked out that book on The Port and got a note back from Mark Neville – there’s only 5 left and what were free are now selling for 300 bucks! It’s a nice book and the AOH pic from Greenock has particular interest, I’ve asked him to price a print of that one, I’ve an aunt from Greenock with a strong family connection to the AOH there.
Thanks for sharing

Allright bud.
The AOH pictures in the book are the Port 210 division. standing there since 1934. A real landmark for many port yins , with many layers of history.

Very funny. Tongue in cheek, don’t think anyone should take it too seriously or relate it to real tragedies.

Re. the Leigh Griffiths call off, can’t say I blame him. WGS doing his usual ‘favourites’ thing. Loyalty is a great idea but not blind loyalty. Failing to give the No.1 striker in Scotland a start would piss me off too. And why take the risk in a meaningless game?
A 54yr old man from Cabra in Dublin called Robert Day was arrested on a Dublin street yesterday & carted off to the Special Criminal Court where he was charged with membership of the IRA. MSM here of course had to mention the fact that he was wearing a Glasgow Celtic top. Wonder how long before the hacks in Glasgow get wind of it.
Hope it wasn’t one of our Dublin contingent.

LEFTCLICK. Back in the day my name would be first on any list for a knees up but old age and illness take there toll nowadays I have to steer clear of alcohol all together as my liver has had enough many a time I fancy a good drink but it would really be stupid as it could end me so I abstain.However,I enjoy coming on CQN and reading about all you bhoys having a great time plenty of bevy and good crack most of it about the hoops I bet.So its good of you to think of those who could not attend for various reasons.H.H.
suzi perry gives me the horn
So glad all who attended had a great day yesterday.
Hope Broony calls it a day after the Gibraltar game.
Cant wait for next week now.Top of the league beckons.
France says”Nega,Non”.
I made it home safe and sound.
Smashin’ day out.
Congratulations Penfold, let us know when the happy event happens(March is a good month to be born in).
Peanut67, already has a blog name:-)
Well done to all of you yesterday, you raised a lot of money to help we Shay.
CRC will put up an amount when the fog clears from his befuddled brain.
Don’t hold you breath:-)
I agree, I think Broonie should wrap the national scene, he’s done his shift, can’t ask for any more from him, let some young blood in there to show off his wears along with some other youngsters, time to build now at national level, starting with those two full backs….ffs.
One positive from Scotland’s euro exit…a rest for our bhoys who would have had a very short break.
Sent last post a bit quickly, was going to add that another positive will be the lack of snide comments about our own bhoys efforts….feck them all..
Gym work done, met an old playing colleague of mine,hes 7 years younger than I and just got himself a new hip? The side effects of the ash parks and playing through injuries in the lower reaches of football in evidence. We had a good laugh about how decrepit we all are now and we’re both planning a wee swally this afternoon, not a lot has changed.

A MAN accused of leaking secret documents about Rangers is today named by The Scottish Sun on Sunday as William Stevenson.
Stevenson, 46, faces an extortion charge over claims private details about the club and ex-owner Craig Whyte were revealed on Twitter account Charlotte Fakes.
Whyte and former Ibrox spin doctor Jack Irvine’s emails were allegedly targeted and posted.
It’s claimed taped chats between Whyte and ex-Gers chief exec Green were also revealed. Cops were alerted in 2013 after the Ibrox side was rocked by revelations on social media.
Stevenson, who was arrested last October, is also accused of breaching the Computer Misuse Act and Communications Act.
The Crown Office said: “A report concerning a 46-year-old man remains under consideration.” It’s thought Stevenson may be a witness in the fraud trial against Whyte, Green and five other men following Green’s takeover of Rangers.
We told how they ran a gauntlet of hate when they appeared in court last month.
Stevenson was unavailable for comment.

Looks like he may form an important part of the prosecution’s case, and perhaps be responsible for bringing the men the bears hate to court. I hope they all see it that way and, while not treating him as a hero, allow him to live his life in peace.
If he is to give evidence based on what he posted as CF, it will pretty much verify those posts and allow us to treat them as evidence of the shennanigans we were convinced happened, like SFA conivance in, and their knowledge of, RFC’s impending insolvency.
The men in the Hampden bunker might have as much to fear from his evidence as they do from Green and Whyte’s!

If he is to be a witness at the forthcoming trial, then he may have done a plea bargain with the Crown, otherwise I would have expected him to have been up in court before now.

Words and in particular their connotations fascinate me. For example juxtaposing a biscuit tin and a warchest, or arriving in Scotland and jetting in.
Since when was two people discussing fraud, gratuitous alienation, shafting creditors etc become a “chat”.

‘..he may have done a plea bargain with the Crown, otherwise I would have expected him to have been up in court before now..’
_______
If it weren’t for the alleged charge of ‘extortion’ [ if true, I wonder who the would-be victim was and what degree of panic rose in his breastie!], I’d be happy to regard your man as deserving honourable ‘whistle-blower’ status, in performing a public service.
But you must be right: he’s hardly likely to sing like a canary if he thinks he may still be prosecuted.
Here’s hoping he sings loud and sweetly and is instrumental in furthering the cause of justice!

In the Scousers least favourite rag, it states “A MAN accused of leaking secret documents about Rangers” but it makes no mention of him facing any charges for such an offence, but does say he “faces an extortion charge” ……..A charge that is sitting on the books and “Under consideration”, one year later……..Hmmmmm!
Call me a sceptic, but that extortion charge appears to be on flimsy ground. ….I wonder who made the extortion claims, but I wouldn’t dare guess.
#retiredjiner. I hear you that with bonny night coming up your services were in high demand.

Folks
Thanks for posting the Sun Article.
It is inaccurate and the motives for naming CF must be questioned.
Many of us have seen what was leaked. It’s veracity is no longer questioned.
The only thing that stopped msm delving was the “provenance” defense. ie how was it obtained?
That has enabled msm to excuse itself from investigation what is already clear to SFM readers on Res12 and LNS.
It would make sense for the justice system pursuing the truth to use whatever means it can to establish that truth so I believe the theory of CF as a potential witness is the most likely.
The charges against him were of extortion against CW and company. How likely is that to stand?
Nope we are entering a new phase and only the reluctance to prejudge upcoming in cases will keep the football authority safe for now.
However when the duplicity against football supporters and shareholders is finally revealed and understood, the SFA will join UEFA and FIFA on the governance scrap heap.
They are simply not fit for purpose.

If CF’s revelation are to be used as evidence in the upcoming criminal cases they must have been forensically examined, possibly to the nth degree, by the prosecution. I think we can safely accept that they are genuine and that what we deduced from them was pretty accurate, too. I know they won’t be able to touch the story until the court case is over, but it will be interesting to see the MSM go to town with the evidence, of, say, what was discussed at Whyte’s dinner with Regan and Ogilvie…or perhaps not!
Hopefully someone still has copies of what was posted online so we can ensure those intrepid journalists won’t miss out on their big scoops because there are no copies available to them
No doubt how CF obtained the ‘evidence’ will come out in the trial, and may form a story in itself, and hopefully, there will be a lot that we haven’t yet seen or heard!
However it all pans out, there must be a few people trying to remember what they have ever said to those in the dock, and if it had been recorded or included in an email. I hope it gives them all many a sleepless night!
Made it along to my first Hootenanny yesterday, it was great to meet and greet so many CQN’rs, I had only met a few previously. Many thanks to BMCUP for organising it, and to the too many to name good people that I met and chatted with, it was a real pleasure.
