Celtic fans being toyed with

284

I am trying hard to avoid transfer speculation.  For the most part, it is wide of the mark and reflects publishing deadlines, not actual events.  Feel free to imagine you have a column to fill and just go ahead and write stuff yourself.  It might be helpful to know that Celtic are not waiting on Champions League qualification to decide to spend money or not.  This is just not true.

Suggesting otherwise does not make sense.  We are a football club who are about reaching the Champions League and winning trophies.  Achieving these goals puts money in the bank, which makes the goals more achievable in future.  Leaving money in the bank puts zero money in the pockets of anyone working at Celtic.

Telling fans Celtic have tens of millions in the bank but are waiting to see if they will earn more before spending, is like a sport.  They are laughing at us.  Celtic fans are being toyed with, largely because information on Celtic’s transfer work is not leaking.

I couldn’t let the resignation of Queen’s Park president Graeme Shields go without comment.  Two games into the season he left citing “an increased level of personal and online abuse towards myself and others associated with the club”.  Fans of small clubs always bang on about is how entitled fans of the bigger clubs are, that they go along not expecting to win anything and that it’s all about the banter with their mates.

That might be true for some of them, but there is a hardcore in society who struggle to find fulfilment without hurling abuse at an authority figure from a safe distance.  You really need to wonder why anyone would get involved in football.

  1. the Slovan Bratislava vs Kairat Almaty stream is like watching someone dancing on a podium, with the smoke machine blowing and a stobe light making them jutter!!

    Going to pens in Bratislava. Boarding will be bricking it about the cost of chartering a return flight to Almaty. Get them into Emirates economy lads, it’s only the 14 hours each way if change in Dubai. Hopefully we’ll make it back in time for the huns game,

  4. If the hun advance against Club Brugge, I will congratulate them – jammy or not.

     

     

    As for the game ingoing – Almaty stats look better and they are away from home, so I hope Slovan win to save the far east journey.

  5. Bada Bing more than 7 yellows actually.

     

     

    4 others apart from the 2 for a sending off from the first leg.
