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.

At the period end, a total of £17.7m of investor loans have been provided interest-free to the Group.
The amortisation of the loans using the effective interest rate method resulted in other nonoperating
charges amounting to £0.8m. Subsequent to the period end, new short-term external
funding has been secured providing the Club with greater financial flexibility.

Same here, they are getting so blatant these days it’s in your face and they are laughing at us, the sad thing is as a support, we can stop it and it can be reveresed but it won’t be.

As a support we can bring about change, it could be done within a couple of weeks, but as long as the Celtic support keep giving them money nothing will change, if anything things will only get worse.

Jeso,Sandra dee is on:-)))
I see RIFC’s interims are unaudited. Basically a few numbers with Glibby’s signature at the bottom. Scandalous if this is enough to satisfy the SFA and UEFA.
Interesting he is making the offer for the shares though. Not so impecunious as his lawyer claimed then…
Reported in the Glasgow (Catholic) Observer August 20th 1892.
The Marist Changes
Last Week the pupils attending several of our largest Catholic Boys Schools, under the charge of the Marist brothers, were both taking leave of old tried friends, who were starting to other fields of labour, and making the acquaintance of “new Brothers” We do not remember hearing so much sober talk among our young folks about the brothers and their whereabouts for an age. We ourselves had so closely allied each brother with the school in which he was teaching, that we could not dream any change possible.
Brother Walfrid and the Sacred Heart School were one and the same thing; so were St Marys and Brother Dorothens, St Alphonsus and Brother Ezekiel. These good Brothers, if we remember rightly, have been on a average of twenty years in Glasgow, most of which time was spent by them at the above schools.
Brother Walfrids arrival in the city dates back some twenty eight years, as already mentioned in a former issue of this papers, he goes as Superior to one of the Marist Brothers most important houses in Britain, viz, that of Regent Square, London. He leaves behind him in Glasgow a host of the warmest friends. Brother Dorothens takes his place as Superior of the monastery in Charlotte Street, and, Headmaster of St Alphonsus School Green-side. Thanks to his untiring energy, St Marys School, for the past sixteen years he has unostentatiously, day by day, gathered his ever increasing multitude of boys, can now boast of being the largest Boys School north of the Tweed. His former duties now devolve upon Brother Thomas, who, we learn, went through his apprenticeship in this school, and after spending a year in one of the Marist Brothers Training Colleges on the continent, returned as assistant to St Marys, We wish him god-speed in his ardous task.
St Alphonsus School, to which Brother Dorothens has been appointed by his superiors, was the place where one received the genial welcome of another Brother who has been changed – Brother Ezekiel. If we are not mistaken, he entered upon his duties about 1880, and for the past twelve years was the soul of that important and successful School, He was specially noted for the interest he took in the boys after their leaving school ; hence the Vesper choir, composed of not mere children, but of young men whom he had kept together from their boyhood; hence, also, the Junior Guild of the Sacred Heart, the members of which, Sunday after Sunday, he so zealousey instucted and encouraged to qualify themselves to swell the ranks of the Young Men Guild.
Brother Ezekiel has been promoted to the position of Superior of St. Mungo’s Academy, Townhead, and under his care we are not inclined to entertain any doubts concerning that Institution’s future prosperity. He taught at the Academy three or four years before taking charge at of St. Alphonsus’. As notified in our last week’s issue, Brother Andrew had been appointed to replace Brother Walfrid at the Sacred Heart, Bridgeton. Brother Christopher, late Superior at Saint Mungo’s, is removed to St Josephs College, Dumfries, to recruit his health, somewhat, shattered by severe work in connection with the science classes at the Academy. He meanwhile will devote any spare energy to the preparation of students for various univer-sity examinations. We also learn with pleasure that Brother Martin, whom we knew formerly at St. Mungo’s Academy, is to form part of the staff of that establishment during the coming year.
Am up for a quiz,let you know how stupid I really am:-)))

David 66-my dad is 78not68,although hard to tell the difference:-)))
So despite
a) enhanced attendances, increasing ticketing and hospitality revenue, despite the two fewer
games;
b) a new retail deal which has generated increased revenue for the six months;
c) an increase in sponsorship and commercial revenues
the zombies post a loss of £0,9m, compared to £0.2m last year and only after making a profit of £1.2m of player sales,
Full year prediction (based on last years numbers) will show a loss of around £4.5m-4.7m.
If only had they sold Morelos for £11m :-)

I’m sure with those figures the Dragon’s Den would be fighting each other to invest :)
and Arnold says Woof Woof
Guys the zombies figures will be doctor’d to suit the agend of a corrupt club playing in a corrupt organisation in a corrupt country.
Despite all this corruption we are going for 7 in a row and back to back trebles and hopefully March on to ten. Hail Hail the glorious Celtic.
This sticks in der Huns throat, and I for one am happy about that.
At this time of year we should all be saying a wee prayer for our distant brethren (der Hun) to protest against everything, must be exhausting for these unfortunate souls.???
