Bogus issues and a Good Old Celtic debate

1020

I’ve not spent a lot of time online this week (work sometimes creeps in) but can’t believe the amount of traction that notion that Sevco would somehow be able to acquire SFA membership of a dead club, with all associated benefits, but be in a position to dictate set terms on how past misdeeds of Rangers would be recorded.

This is a bogus debate which serves only to deflect from the more serious issues facing Sevco, namely, do they have circa £25m to pay their way this season?  If not, their pedantic views of disciplinary matters are moot, although they may be used as a principled excuse to fold a football club.

On more positive matters……….

Tony Hamilton asked me into the Celtic TV to discuss various issues surrounding the club.  We spoke about how recent events elsewhere have had a galvanising impact on supporters of Celtic and other clubs, where Celtic’s future should be.  I also gave a breakdown of what the death of Rangers would mean financially to Celtic, with or without Champions League group stage qualification, talked about how it would benefit the entire Scottish game if we found a new league to play in, and the great atmosphere we have at Celtic Park these days – which you can experience if you buy a season ticket, which you absolutely-without-a-doubt-should!

Do it now.  The video is below:

    Now we know it was the Brother they wanted to sign…happens all the time..

     

     

    Heskey and Carroll upfront, damn I’ll never get to sleep now..

  5. The 3rd Finnish team in the Europa League, KuPS Kuopio also lose at home 1:0 to Maccabi Netanya (whose brother, Ben, used to be the Israeli Prime Minister) but manage to sneak through on away goals

  6. not quite sure how this works, however, here goes, first time blogger, lurkiing long time, I cannot see how it is possible that sevco can possibly play any form of pro football this season. The ealier blog by BRT&H@12.52 was awesome!!!!! ps thanks to ma son, Martin, for his help

  7. West Wales Celt on

    Heskey’s a free agent.

     

    At least Bridge’s home club is an EPL club….

    Welcome.

     

     

    Unless you went to Belmont Academy … just kidding (even if you did).

  9. The Comfortable Collective on

    I actually think if Liverpool had bought Carroll for £2 to £3M, he would have been a great signing for them, and maybe even a 20 goal a season man.

     

     

    But labelling him a £35M player. Sweet Joshua, that makes him more expensive than any other striker playing in Europe today with the exception of Torres (I think) – certainly up there in terms of transfer fee.

     

     

    That transfer fee was always going to be a millstone around his neck.

    If Portsmouth manage to stay afloat, but still in administration, they will start League One with the consequence of a ten point deduction. Consequences, who needs them? If however they are liquidated they will lose their membership of the Football League. No questions asked! Consequences! Does that word have a different meaning down Govan way?

  16. The Comfortable Collective on

    The Great Britain mens football team are struggling to throw off the accusation that they are simply England in disguise after they make an ar$e of a winning position in their first game in the competition.

  17. The blog buster returns – never noticed chaps.

     

     

    …………..too busy watching ‘Manhattan’

     

     

    ………eh, VP……last orders.

  18. Do Affiliate FC have until tomorrow for this licence to be granted or have Duff and Phelps organised an extension?

  19. yes pl would bend the truth in order to sell more season tickets. was thinking celtic and football is meant to be entertaining, like a holiday you are meant to go along enjoy yourself and come back looking forward to your next one. when its all doom and gloom its not good for the provider to feed into it and when its crap and does not meet your expectations is unlikely you will return the next year. football clubs have a responsibility to make sure fans enjoy and want to return by being so negative the club does its self harm, please stop being so negative.

     

     

    p.s. 6,000 at a st. johnsonton games is great, shame thats their euro adventure is over. lets hope some of those that attended tonight will decide to return on a more regular basis. lets hope ourselves, dundee united, hearts and motherwell can record better results with full capacity crowds to help lift the doom and gloom.

  20. belmont brian,

     

     

    welcome.

     

     

    whence the name ? dundee (halls of residence) or harrow?
