Celtic fans get stuck into our reason for being, nomad moot

765

Congratulations to The Kano Foundation for their magnificent fifth annual charity dinner on Saturday.  The Kano story is beyond incredible and a credit to those who call ourselves Celtic fans – whether you are involved with them or not.

Well done also to everyone who participated in the Celtic Foundation Zip Slide across Celtic Park on Saturday, in aid of children’s’ charities.  It was exhilarating and is sure to be repeated.  A weekend without Celtic and hundreds of Celtic fans get stuck into our reason for being.

They can blame the last guys for the lack of commercial revenue streams, or for paying incompetent coaches too much money.  They can even blame them for over-ambition when it came to funding the playing squad, but for all of its short corporate life, Rangers International PLC’s previous board members have been able to produce accounts on time and all received approval from authorised nominated advisers.

If the new board members are unable to deliver a nominated adviser, blaming the old board, as one newspaper tried today: “largely because of the scorched earth policy implemented by the previous board in the last days of the Mike Ashley empire – they must do so before the City shuts down for the Easter holiday”, would be both dishonest and a very worrying (for some) departure from a company which seeks to build its corporate reputation.

This entire question should be moot.  Mike Ashely didn’t need to be on the newco board to exert the control he needed with an 8% share and neither would Dave King.  King could easily take a back seat and appoint trusted men of stature who would breeze the nomad requirements.  We can only speculate as to why King NEEDS to be on the board, and don’t count on anyone who can get close enough to King, or his PR, asking this question.  The entire uncertainty is an unnecessary nonsense.

    I did enjoy scoring against Dundee Utd more than sevco.

     

    And Aberdeen more than sevco.

     

    And Motherwell. And Kilmarnock.

     

    And Inter ( they are Italian you won’t play them in the ramsdens cup)

     

     

    Even though the media build up for the league cup semi made the super bowl blush I still knew it was a farce. A fabrication. This was not Rangers.

     

     

    I know you think you still are and the Old Firm is alive in well but it just isn’t.

     

    The LC semi was like an abusive husband getting out of jail and telling the wife he was moving back in. Sorry zombies but we’ve changed the locks.

     

    We don’t need you. We’ve moved on.

     

     

    If you are in need of a rival I heard those Alloa games are getting pretty tasty.

    Billbear is right. It was 3-0 the last time we played Rangers.

     

     

     

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My Team will always be Rangers, we will be in the same league as Cellic next year and you will know all about it.

     

     

    Stuart will get us moving and the 3 bears money will be spent wisely. The team really looked the part for the last ten minutes on Saturday, and it will only get better.

    This will look good on your “What I did on my holidays” project when you go back to school.

    Question to Hendo: Do you want to play in the Champions League?

     

     

    Hendo: Yes.

     

     

    Okay you can either do some extra work in the gym or go work your socks off on loan playing first team fitba every week……..which is going to increase your chance of being in the mix in July/August?

     

    Just my thoughts on it.

    Is it just me or does anybody else think that billbear might be Declan? It’s got to be a windup as nobody can be that stupid……….oh wait a minute!

  9. south of tunis

     

     

    Loved that bit too!

     

     

    What did he think of the other 80 minutes?

  10. I have came on here because i like football chat, my mate has told me all about your great charity work and well done you all deserve applauded.

     

     

    I work for a jungle and cannot get onto my preffered sites as they are blocked.

     

     

    Also if timmy sees my browsing history, I’ll probably get a raise, that’s how stupid he is.

     

     

    2-0 last game against Rangers, proves that we are the same team, got a right few of you there ha ha,

     

     

    I blame catholic schools lol

    Sevco, since it’s inception in 2012, has been and is a wee diddy team, and given the parlous ongoing financial circumstances, will remain a wee diddy team for………….well forever.

     

     

    Even if it somehow scrapes into the premiership next season, another wee diddy team isn’t going to make a blind bit of difference to our total domination of Scottish football.

     

     

    We are effectively 7 points ahead of the sheep with a game in hand, and only ICT and a championship team stand in our way of the Cup.

     

     

    The Treble is much more likely than not. Ask a bookie.

     

     

    Celtic will dominate Scottish football for years to come, and no wee diddy teams are going to have any effect on this.

  12. Liam Henderson not 19 till next month. Don’t want him to go mad in the gym.

     

    I know that’s not too young but let him develop naturally.

     

    Just look at his face I’m sure he’s really only 14!

  13. Rosenberg would be a good loan for Henderson. A good side in a better Scandinavian league will do wonders for his confidence. The fitness training will be right up there as well. Then he’s back for European games.

     

    Bill ol chap (May I call you Bill?). You were right. Celtic did beat Rangers in the last ever Game against that club. It was TheTHeThe Rangers Celtic beat 2-0.

     

    Welcome to the blog. Please keep posting. You might learn something.

  14. sniff sniff…. I think we have a bored timposter on the loose!

     

     

    Whip off that hun mask and show us who you really are!

    In addition-or not,not read back-this.

    “While a delisting might not ultimately prove disastrous to their long-term plan of rebuilding a football club it would none-the-less come as an unwelcome blow to their hopes of restoring Rangers’ reputation and standing.”

     

     

    As I recall,that was King’s stated intention and ambition immediately prior to their hilariously expensive EGM.

     

     

    As I recall,btw, the new board are hollering uncle about cost of that.

     

     

    Quite right,too. Struggling companies should not be subjected to such pressures from predators.

  17. It all boils down to this. It’s going to take a minimum £30m probably closer to £50m to get them up to our level – between squad improvements and covering losses. Where is that coming from?

    Bravo “BillBear”, a successful fishing expedition indeed! A tim at the wind up if ever I saw one.

    What’s with all the numerous new crap betting pop-ups?

     

     

    These are REALLY, REALLY ANNOYING and absolutely detracts from the previously good CQN experience. I also thought this was a child-friendly site?

     

     

    Yours in Celtic,

    The ones I was talking about were still holes in the ground, lot’s of them about, need total renovation, and cheap, there won’t be many on the estate agents sites, since they have started to charge to have them online.

     

     

    There is one for 6K, but as I said, they will be few and far, and nobody ever pays the asking price.

     

    My place was up for 90K, got it for well less than 30K, and I bought it in the height of the boom time.

     

     

    Anyways, these sites will give you an idea.

    On second thoughts don’t answer that.

    According to reports here

     

    D Parks is “sweating that Glib and shameless liar” is going to leave him holding the ticking bomb and iss demanding the “glib and shameless liar” moves his bahooky, though it would be convenient for the glib and shameless liar” if sevco hit the fan and he could claim nothing to do wae me:)))

    As we are all aware….sevco have the most bigoted fans in world football, they wallow in sectarianism.

     

    Yet….they don’t like to be called Huns.

     

    The height of absurdity.

     

    Stupidity at its worst.

     

    Sevco are a joke….we don’t want nothing to do with your bigoted wee club,…..sevco are a disgrace.

     

    Cheats and Bigots.

    A wee welcome quiz question for you.

     

    Who scored for Rangers(IL) in the 1957 League Cup final?

  26. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    Wowee.

     

     

    We have another one joining in.

     

     

    I have a lot of hun/non-hun-mates. You might guess which team they follow as few others have such a term of endearment.

     

     

    BILLYBEAR may well end up retreating from the blog,as BILLYBHOY05 did.

     

     

    Or he may turn out to be another Edward Ursus!!!!

     

     

    BTW,His grandkids really are Celtic supporters. And he is perfectly happy with that.

  27. A common theme on CQN is the problems with developing young players. One major problem is the lack of a reserve league. Since Scotland doesn’t have one is there any rules that would prevent Celtic applying to join another reserve league?
