I like Alex Ferguson. He likes his football and cannot hide the respect in which he holds Jock Stein and the great Celtic team of the 60s and 70s. Like you and I, Alex is immersed in the history of the game here, a history he contributed significantly to at Aberdeen.
So, when questioned by the Daily Record on the potential shuttering of Hampden, his overwhelming reaction was for the loss of history:
“… leaving your history behind you
“You’re throwing away all that fantastic history
“history you are throwing away
“That’s a fantastic history
“history has been formed
“The history of Hampden is riddled with fantastic games
“We need history to tell us where we’re going”
No football fans are more immersed in history than Celtic fans, it sustained us through many a dark day, so these words will resonate with you. But fear not, there is a solution!
They can raze Hamden to the ground and have another venue BUY THE HISTORY! Why didn’t this occur to such a great mind? Buying history is a fairly straightforward issue in Scotland. I now own the Crimean War, which I purchased from a guy in Edinburgh last week.
The same vendor was selling the Renaissance, which I would love to own, as I would really like to have painted the Sistine Chapel in the 16th century, but he was wanting £1000 for that, and an internal voice told me I was being taken for a brainless clown.

I think MAHETHEMADMAN might have advertised it better,and a bit more in advance. I know how long it takes to set up quizzes like this,it seems so easy,but it’s more time-consuming than you think.
Maybe-without treading on MAHETHEMADMAN’s toes-he could get in touch with,say 8 or so others,and they could take their time,and take turns at presenting it.
At a regular time. Every week.
As jobo would say …
Nae mair sleeps…
BMCUW , I had high hopes for big Nir in the Broonie role, ( still hopeful but not so high), however if we go for young Mcginn I feel he is more Ollie like than Broonie , Ie better attacking mid than a stopper. Would like to have seen more of Kouassie in that role, but I suppose we cant play everyone all the time.
Me I am just going to leave it to Brendan :-), and like Sinky I’m sure Broonie will be here for 10 and the rest in a row…
As for talking dugs thats just barking mad:-)…
H.H
So – are fully audited accounts a REQUIREMENT for a UEFA license, or are they not ?
BMCUW
I agree, not about Broonie the Dug, actually that’s got a rymne to it.
I am up early to get out and look at cars I blew my engine up yesterday
Although i am always up about 7am when not working anyway.

BMCUW
About McGinn, should have said that.

If our club has intentions similar to Desmond’s public display of praise re everything Rangers I think that hope will be a furlorn one unfortunately.
I think it’s the actions of the ordinary supporter which will be pivotal in any adherence to the rules re sevco. Like it was in 2012 when they were trying to launch in the first division. Supporters said ‘ no way ‘ and the clubs listened.

The full Hardgate CSC bus will be there. They helped fund the plaque. There will be as many Celtic fans as Rangers fans there tomorrow.

Just aff oot as they say but afore I go, this is the question that was posed……..
8,,,A king has two children. One of them is a boy. What are the odds on the other being a girl?
As far as I can see he already has a boy, as I said this is the crux of the matter, he already has a boy, so no matter how it’s worded, the chances of the other being a girl are 50/50, end of :-)

Re: accounts – until Auldheid surfaces and gives us chapter and verse…
…the SFA ‘National and UEFA Club Licensing Manual, 2018’ states the following:
“…UEFA Ref A 47
Minimum UEFA Requirement
Each licence applicant is required to provide a copy of its audited annual financial statements as defined in respect of the statutory closing date prior to the deadline for submission of the application to the Scottish FA and prior to the deadline for submission of the list of licensing decisions to UEFA.
Audited financial statements must include the auditor’s report. The auditor must be independent as defined in Annex 01 § 01.3 of Part 4. Comparative figures in respect of the prior statutory closing date must
be provided. By 31 January 2018, each licence applicant is required to provide a self declaration form confirming whether the Indicators apply.
Club documents
Copy of the Audited Accounts as defined. These shall be forwarded directly to the Scottish FA by 31 March 2018.
The self-declaration form shall be submitted by 31 January 2018 at the latest…”
Hmmm…I’m not an expert but it looks fairly cut and dried to me – unaudited accounts don’t seem to be sufficient to support the granting of a UEFA License.

TONTINE TIM,
I’ve been meaning to ask you for some time about the origins of the name “Jungle”. I grew up with my Dad, who always stood in the middle near the “toilet”, referring to it as the Hayshed. I did hear the nname was given to it by the troops who had served in the Far East during WW2. My Dad did his stint in India, Malaya and Singapore but never called it “the Jungle”, as far as I know.
BGFC –
But isn’t the issue here that companies all have different accounting year ends. Indeed, a lot of football clubs draw up their accounts to 30 June. Their last accounts to 30 June 2017 WERE audited. What they published yesterday wasn’t their full accounts but just a trading statement covering the 6 months to 31 December 2017. They would have had an issue if they still hadn’t prepared their accounts to June 2017 but isn’t it those accounts that are relevant here?
What the more significant issue might be is the extent of their borrowing and the fact that the latest statement does nothing to address that, so that particular element of their financial statements may cause them problems in any licence application.
But, as you suggest, Auldheid might well know better, certainly better than a mere ex-weather reporter ;-)
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league
They come from bonnie Scotland, they come from county Cork,
They come from dear old Donegal and even from New York,
From every street in Glasgow they proudly make their way,
To a place called dear old paradise and this is what they say.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league.
There’s Fallon, Young and Gemmell who proudly wear the green,
There’s Clark, McNeill and Kennedy the best there;s ever been,
Jim Johnstone, Murdoch, Chalmers, John Divers and John Hughes,
And sixty thousand Celtic fans who proudly shout the news.
Celtic, Celtic thats the team for me,
Celtic, Celtic on to victory,
They’re the finest team in Scotland, I’m sure you will agree,
We’ll never give up till we’ve won the cup and the Scottish football league.

If only I had bought / been given shares in Sevco at 1p each. I’d be first in line to sell them to The Lying King for a tidy wee profit. Would certainly make up for all the gardening I’ve had to do.

One Club since 1888 ?
As we mark 130 years since the formation of the Club in 1888, it is important that we continue to celebrate what makes Celtic so special. We are, and always have been, One Club open to all.

Hi Jobo – there is a further clause that I think covers that scenario – interim statements. I first thought that’s their get-out clause, but it looks like those need to be audited too.
The ‘self-certification’ comments in here make things slightly more murky, but I think that is only really saying which of the two types of documentation is being submitted. The Minimum UEFA requirement is that the interim statement “…must be reviewed (as defined by UEFA) by an independent auditor…”
Anyway, I agree – best wait to hear from someone who knows what they are talking about (certainly more likely to get that here than via any SMSM or Hun source).

“…UEFA Ref A 48
Minimum UEFA Requirement
Where applicable, additional financial statements covering the interim period must be prepared and submitted. These must cover the interim period, starting the day immediately after the statutory closing date (30 June 2017 in principle) up to 1 December 2017 as a minimum and must be reviewed (as defined by UEFA) by an independent auditor.
The auditor’s review report must be conducted in terms of International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A specimen auditor’s report is shown in Template Letter A 48 in Annex 03 § 03.2 of Part 4.
By 31 January 2018, each licence applicant is required to provide a self-declaration form confirming whether the Indicators apply.
Club documents
Dependent upon the closing period for the licence applicant,
EITHER
a copy of the Audited Accounts including the supplementary information
OR
a copy of the Interim financial statements that meet the minimum disclosure requirements and accounting principles defined by UEFA together with an auditor’s certificate as per Template letter A 48 in Annex 03 § 03.2 of Part 4.
Either of the above shall be forwarded directly to the Scottish FA by 31 March
2018.
The self-declaration form shall be submitted by 31 January 2018 at the latest…”

Your Bob Choon .
A big choon for me -bought in the autumn of 68 — about to leave Glasgow and start Uni . Beginning of a new beginning . It travelled with me -safe in a wooden Tonic Water Bottle Box I’d borrowed from the back of Munns’s vaults .Had to stay in” rooms ” for the first term at UNI .. The choon didn’t go down well with those who liked the likes of Iron Butterfly ,Deep Purple and Jeff Beck . Dandruff boogie !

Modern Template letter A4 in annexe 03/3.2 of part4 is rubbish.
I love Scott Sinclair. I love it when players come to us and fall in love with Celtic. He is one. And superb talent. Do you think last season was his peak? No it wasn’t. Next season this guy is going to be electric. He has had his dip.
I hope his new wane is born in Scotland. God bless Scott.

I think someone mentioned the other day that the Green Brigade are having a collection today to help pay the legal fees incurred in the campaign to repeal the OB Act.
I would encourage all those who supported their efforts to bring a pound or so today.
Train to catch to the Dear green Place and a meet up in Coia`s with Franky and the Bhoys.
Cheerio for now.
