Been in conference in deepest Manchester for a few days, has anything happened? First of all, well done to the captain for the whole onesie thing. I remember the days Celtic View staff had to campaign for days to get a word from a Celtic player. Notions that the senior players would roll their sleeves up and get involved with media, commercial or Foundation projects were fanciful.
While the move to Lennoxtown has no doubt been good for players and coaches, fans seldom get to see players in less formal roles, like this, or the now frequent Celtic shop visits.
If you’ve not seen the video, check it out here. It’s a Joy of Celtic kind of thing (which I know you have in spades).
Fraudulent or not?
Lord Haw-Haw: Yes.
William Shakespeare: Maybe.
Celtic, East Dunbartonshire and NHS Greater Glasgow: No.
Audit Scotland yesterday announced that there were no fraudulent activities surrounding the purchase of Lennoxtown by Celtic. Imagine that! Celtic paid full price, including tax…
CQN and others spend years predicting the fate of Rangers and Murray International Holdings. The evidence was there, if a little hidden. Just because one group of fans can successfully uncover significant information on another club, doesn’t mean that any or every club is managed in an illicit manner.
The tip is: if you’re going to put a lot of time and effort into something, chose your subject carefully. Otherwise you not only waste your time, but you miss a whole lot of more serious action.
Establishing the locus…
….what you need to do before you are considered appropriate to mount a Judicial Review of a process. Mike Ashley did this yesterday, despite his 9% shareholding in Newco. Fan groups wishing to pursue the SPFL, should they fail to look at the goings-on at oldco in the light of various recent legal matters, will need to convince a judge they are entitled to ask for a Review.
There is a clear route for pursue, should it be necessary.
On Ashley’s Judicial Review of the SFA’s decision to fine him £1000. If the Association are wise they’ll capitulate now. He knows what they don’t, he started this action knowing he has enough to win.
So what would you prefer, Newco fan money goes into Newco, or is held for a more productive moment? I reckon they should pile in now.

Just home from an extremely eventful Celtic Trust meeting.
Some people will be surprised but all conversation centred around Celtic and we only played Billy Bragg records twice the whole night :-)
I’ve promised an update, for anyone remotely interested, on what was discussed but I’m done in so it’ll need to wait until tomorrow.
– See more at: http://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/saturday-agm-afterblow/comment-page-23/#comments
=========
Sounds interesting. Look forward to reading it and thanks for putting in the time.
Midfield enforcer supreme………Bertie Auld.
Oh you’ve changed yer tune bada. Lol
Aye I never fancied him much when you first mentioned him. Too rash for me initially but now I think he’s more like oor captain was than I gave him credit for.
Seems a bit taller these days too. Cracking Wee/big player.
Well spotted ;)
HH
Bad
George
McGinn was impressive v TRFC but I like BIG enforcers and it would weaken Hibs but a good shout nevertheless.
“Ajax aiming to end Celtic hopes in high stakes Europa league tie”
Nope, not a headline from a Dutch media source, but from our very own Liam McLeod of BBC Scotland.
You would think they didn’t want us to win or something! :-))
Auldheid,
Pluck him from Hibs at the end of the season.
Makes them less of a challenge to us next season :)
HH
First off…..thank you for the kind words for our friend Brian today,much appreciated.
———————————
Saw about 30 Ajax fans up the town today,all dressed in black with no colours again.
Same trouble makers as last time ,hopefully the cops are on to them this time.
Four of them tried to get into my cab at rank, I asked them if Ajax fans? Yes they
answered…..well GTF ,was my friendly Glasgow welcome. :O(
Let Efe play the defensive midfield role.
He is more mobile than slow footed Mulgrew.
Efe is, imo, a much better shout than Mulgrew, who is far too slow (and must be well less than match fit).
We had a young one coming along nicely. We sold him. He’s now at Ross County holding their midfield
DUMBHOY. I must agree with you but there is nothing to stop us buying him back. H.H.
Good evening, friends.
26h 14m….
Til later bhoys
HH
Evening JOBO I hope you are well ? H.H.
Im in the give Efe a place in midfield tomorrow camp,
we’ll seeCSC.
King and SFA
getting a wee bit desperate me thinks
maybe we can prise Keith Lasley from ‘Well, to fill in for Brown!
Jobo yer gettin slower :)))))))))))
JFH – Always well but concerned to read back that Captain Brown is out for tomorrow night’s hugely important match. On the positive side I scrolled back a page and 89.325% of the posts were about tomorrow’s game. Which is nice.
DUMBHOY
Agreed on Jackson Irvine. One minute they’re a highly rated prospect, the next minute they are away fulfilling their potential at places like Dingwall. Puzzling.
Anyway, definitely Efe before Charlie for Defensive mid for me. Efe is less of a bombscare in m/f and is quicker than Charlie. Be interesting to see what Ronny does.
Regardless of tax issues.
Why were the huns paying managers of 2 EPL clubs? And why is it not being investigated?
Scandal!
Charlie does free kicks but Efe is faster
What price an Efe 5-tumble sumersault into the dug out after making up for his earlier mishap by scoring the 94th minute winner?
Off for some medicine and a wee lie down now, back later…..
Just a thought.
Janko or Efe at RB. Lustig central defence. Jozo in front of them?
I’ll take my pea shooter for the Ajax outside left.
HERBO on 25TH NOVEMBER 2015 6:10 PM
Is Janko fit? He was last seen v Hamilton at the start of October, not even been on the bench since
Gary67
I couldn’t even tell you mate tbh.
A midfield enforcer in Broonie’s absence?
Is Roy Keane still match fit?
HH!!
CM no way, even with all our injuries and suspensions CM is not good enough
Efe for me in the holding role along side S Armstrong.
If he plays, he will be the MoM, no doubts about it.
VP-they will wreck the city, and en route to CP, and go home without anyone being lifted, same as last time
TeT
Agree mate. I would have Efe and Stuart as our holding midfield two tomorrow.
Would make Efe captain too.
Hail Hail
We can’t play Charlie Mulgrew the more we just can’t, time for Armstrong to get his finger out of his erchie and show us what he is made of, you want the jersey or no son??
Bada …agreed.
Starry..agreed.
How did Gideon find £27 Billion which didn’t exist 4 months ago? Down the back of the couch in 11 Downing Street?
I hope tomorrow night some of Ronnys signings step up to the plate,no time for excuses, no better time to stake a regular place in the Celtic team.
Wow – that was some grilling Wilson gave King there!

Interesting comments from Ciftci’s agent that suggest the player is not happy. He is advocating change to Celtic’s style of play….using two up front. Unusual for an agent to make that kind of detailed comment, and it is, of course, self serving. However, it does not follow that he is wrong, even if he is ignored by RD.
========================================================================
You do know that Cifit’s agent is Pierre Van Hooydonk?
Hence the ‘detailed’ comment.’
You do know who Pierre is?
You being a detective and all.
I know the Overseas Season Ticket fits my particular circumstances so the charitable aspect is not one I give much thought to.
So it was nice to be reminded of it in this letter of thanks from The Foundation (even allowing for the mention of other ways of giving) . As an an auld East End bhoy myself it’s good to see the families of my old neighbours benefitting.
Dear Auldheid :)
On behalf of everyone at Celtic FC Foundation, I would like to thank you once again for the wonderful donation of an Overseas Ticket this season, 2015/2016.
Your generosity has allowed many disadvantaged people in the East End of Glasgow, and beyond, to come along to one of our home games and join the Celtic Family.
Below, you will find a list of organisations who have benefited from the Overseas Season Ticket scheme during July, August, September and October and I hope you agree that these are all very worthy causes. However, if you would like to discuss any of these beneficiaries further, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I do hope that you have also managed to utilise your Overseas Season Ticket on a personal basis during the first half of the season. If not, hopefully we will have the opportunity to welcome you to Celtic Park in 2016.
As promised, we will continue to allocate your ticket over the festive period and beyond and your generosity fits beautifully with our current Christmas Appeal, which strives to honour the founding principles of our founding fathers. The Appeal aims to help 200 local families who face poverty and hardship and 10 charities who care for those experiencing the torment of homelessness or other disadvantage. More details can be found here –
http://www.celticfc.net/news/9436
The Celtic Family has already donated almost £40,000 and we have high expectations of beating last year’s total, but we can only do this with continued support. Following our successful Sleep Out sponsored event last weekend, we will host a bucket collection at the Hamilton match on Saturday, December 5 and then our Ghirls for Good ladies lunch on Saturday, December 12.
There are a wide variety of ways to support the Appeal – including our brand new Champion Challenge – and I’ve listed them here for your information. However, if you need any further details at all, please just give me a shout.
– Donate by Text – text ‘CELT07’ followed by ‘£1’, ‘£5’ or ‘£10’ to 70070

– Come along to our Ghirls for Good ladies lunch on Saturday, December 12 – http://www.celticfc.net/news/9406
Many thanks again for your wonderful support and kindness. It has made a huge difference to many individuals who, otherwise, would have been unable to experience the joy of Celtic Park. May you and yours have a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
(I’ll post the list of charities separately some of whom I worked with before really retiring.)
