Celtic fans to blame, apparently

902

I see Celtic fans are being blamed for rumours of Newco’s administration by their former manager, Ally McCoist. He could argue that. Alternatively, you could suggest that a business unable to secure bank borrowing, dependent on funding from directors, who will soon be forced to find £11m to make a share offer, has created more than enough financial uncertainty without Celtic fans’ assistance.

McCoist suggested “even the biggest Celtic fans in the country” do not want to see Newco go into administration. Not so sure you are right there, Ally. Personally, I would find it a funny, but it is not going to change anything. It would not lead to relegation and will not change the title race in any way.

The most significant outcome of administration could be forcing control from Dave King. Which would be a source of enormous regret.

You hang in there, Dave.

The CQN Podcast: A Celtic State of Mind (EP28) with former Celtic director Tom Grant

Paul John Dykes and Kevin Graham are joined by Celtic’s ex-director, Tom Grant, who offers a fascinating insight into the running of the club in the 1980s and 1990s.

Tom Grant explains exactly why Celtic refused to complete the Mo Johnston transfer in 1989, and lifts the lid on audacious efforts by Billy McNeill to recruit Peter Beardsley and Steve Bruce.

Tom Grant also dissects his relationship with Fergus McCann, and the impact of the ‘Celts For Change’ movement in overturning the ‘family dynasty’ board in 1994.

    The Sfa are a total joke corrupt to the core … that’s the reason Celtic can’t do anything as SFA = Scottish football

     

     

    Where I reside I bump into loads of old Klub / new Klub follow followers back in the 90s where they gloated till their wee hearts were content at least I played the Tommy Burns card and gallant losers (now proven to e cheated) just my own experience but they are broke, all they have now is their toy soldier uniforms which hopefully in time will also be liquidated (maybe not in my lifetime but when can always live in hope :-)

    Celtic could call them out if they wanted, they will one day hopefully, maybes they are waiting for pastures new, who knows, in the meantime they will suck it up along with the bigot pound, problem is IMO, weans will get sick fed up of the corruption and start following a different sport, a sport where it’s clean and free from the sectarian bile, weans arny stupid.

     

    Aye they are dying out, but not fast enough for me, it will take a fair few generations for them to do the decent thing.

    I don’t think Celtic calling them out will ever achieve anything apart from us being delighted…. the young team are different they don’t care about Res 12, Ebts, Admin, Liquadation they just to keep beating whatever team masquerades as them….

     

     

    Anyways fellow Celts roll on Brechin be good to have the real fitba back

     

     

    Hail Hail

     

     

    Art of War is an old looking 50, whit a paper round that Bhoy must have had :-)

    Look nobody wants admin more than me but we have been hearing this for a good 12 months….

     

     

    The omni-shambles over govan way will roll on and on for a few years.

     

    This notion that admins a weapon to get king out is a bit misguided on my opinion.

     

    But i am not really wanting to discuss it in text on a forum .

     

     

    However now the storys out there if phil has concrete evidence get out in the public domain as that would surley hasten it otherwise it bits and pieces of info …good or bad which hes forming with some clever or not guesswork.

     

     

    I dont care anymore about sevco to be honest but i will put the tin hat on also i dont think 90 % of stuff from him and john.james is true… to much of it has not panned out for me .

     

     

    As i say if he has hard evidence get it published …. or sell it to A journalist who will print it.

     

     

    Thats just me trying not to be bothered by them id prefer to focus on why we are not spending money on the team in search of a better european experience next year as this is the window to do it .

    I don’t care a jot about them if you want to keep it Celtic I think Comperr has been signed for the CL qualifiers as he can’t play against Zenit, hopefully “we” have enough to win our 7th title on the trot legitimately and build for 8 in the summer… got a feeling Brendan knows the script

  6. Gerry

     

    Why will calling them out not make any difference ?

     

    Of course it will, the blogs can bleat all day and every day, nobody listens, the club do it, all hell will break loose, I honestly don’t know why we stay silent, unless as I have said before, they feel that we need the competition, a level playing field will see us win year on year and folks would just get fed up, it’s human nature that we need competition.

    I do not disagree but as soon as Celtic say something it is then a Celtic thing, we might mock the media but they are still more influential that most people realise….

    Well despite the illusions some are under Compper is not my idea of a champions lge standard centre half he will be ok in scotland if he can adapt to the shitey pitches in scotland.

     

    His robustness has not been great over the last 3/4years and i hope he sees a bit more

     

    Action on the pitch than his avarge over the last few years.

     

     

    I see him as a stop gap nothing more

    I was working yesterday morning but wife & daughter had my fresh cream jam doughnut waiting on me when in got home, Christie’s is still going strong my good lady is off on a Thursday so onion pie, chips n beans is always a good treat, even though she is from Coatbridge it was only when she met me she realised how good Penders the Butchers and Christie’s the bakers were ….. thankfully she doesn’t post on here as am sure she will have many negatives to those two positives :-)

  10. Whits the point in Celtic fans paying £49

     

    for, Old Firm Same Club Lie tickets

     

    then gittin thur nickers in a twist when

     

    the Same Club tools up wi new chibs ?

     

    Ye see,…….its simple

     

    don’t buy the Same Club Lie tickets

     

    leave the park lying empty

     

    the Celtic PLC wull shyte thur troosurs

     

    and then, the PLC, will either

     

    grow a set

     

    or, thull leave the building

     

    having been fun oot.

     

    But,……and, here’s the tricky bit

     

    its easy tae sing aboot rebels

     

    fae the comfort ae the back ae the bus

     

    its mair difficult goin tae the front

     

    ae the bus, and being a rebel!

     

    The Celtic PLC

     

    The Rangers PLC

     

    The SFA

     

    The Scoatish Establishment

     

    awe ae thum, are hoping, praying

     

    that yeez wull stick tae peddlin

     

    wee pishy petitions online

     

    raithur than, emptying the parks

     

    and keeping thum empty fur iz long iz

     

    BFDJ wid say, “Fur iz long iz needs must!”

     

    Celtic supporters, of 2018, have the keys of the future

     

    in their hands, and that that that, iz whit worries me.

     

    ………oot.

  11. Well, having taken the trouble to login with the intention of posting, after a long period of lurking, I can only say that I will be flouncing. Am very unhappy about the tone over recent months. Not Celtic.

     

     

    OriginalCSC

  12. Gerrybhoy, I flounce 3 or 4 times a year.

     

    However what brings me back is that the vast majority on here are really great ghuys who will do anything to help a fellow Celt.

     

    I have met dozens of CQN’ers and have yet to meet one I didn’t like.

     

    A few persistent roasters tend to have an undue influence on the overall debates but there is nothing anyone can do about that.

     

    It usually is at it’s worst when there is a break in the football and at times I do ask myself if it’s worth it.

     

    However there are also plenty of positives, I pop in most days if I don’t like what I’m reading I just log out and try again the next day.

     

    Anyways I’m off to my leaba so Good Night & God Bless All.

  13. Auldheid, or anyone..

     

     

    How many players can you sign on loan, outwith Sevco obviously…

     

     

    Auldheid, heading out to Espana from 7th May for a week, nearest pub Paddy’s Point.

     

     

    Will you still be there or there abouts???

    Lol. Having just re-read my post, I realise my punctuation wasn’t very good. I don’t know if he was watching or not. I used his name to indicate the extent of my surprise that there had been two Keith Jackson’s in the world. One who was admired and respected and the other who is an eejit who works as a hack in Scotland.

    Ah well,there goes the neighbourhood…

  22. Rangers set to sign Jason Cummings on loan until end of the season

     

     

    The 22-year-old will become Rangers’ fourth signing of the January window.

    Gavin Berry,

     

     

     

     

    Daily Ranjur.

     

    As someone asked earlier here, how many loanees are Scottish clubs…sorry deid Scottish clubs allowed to take on in one season ?

     

    The Hun fans will be telling us all what a great “signing” rhat Cummings is, like other “signings” such as failures like Halliday Blah, Blah Blah….That would be the same Hun fans who called

     

    Chris Sutton a ” Chelsea reserve/reject” when The Celts signed him ?

     

     

    I now dislike Liverpool fc…only joking !

     

    Their 4th goal against Man C. cost me a few quid as I had Liverpool to win 3 – 2 @ 25/1.

     

    I now also dislike Man C for losing that 4th goal ! LOL. I didnae like them anyway.

     

     

    I do NOT have “inside info”, so I am at the mercy of what I read on here and elsewhere, and what I do hear from time to time especially about that DEED Mankie Mob.

     

    IMO…So far despite ALL the claims by certain writers of the impending nature of Sevco’s 2nd admin…and also the story of how their players had to pay for their flights to Florida etc etc…I haven’t seen ONE single piece of evidence to back up stories like these, and these are only two examples.

     

    IMO..it is not enough to simply write these stories ( which may be true ? ), and then show NO evidence of such matters…as far as I am aware ?

     

    It would also be great if Sevco WERE breaking more rules in relation to loan signings, and if the are or do…what will Celtic …and other clubs say about it ?

     

    having said that if Sevco WERE breaking more rules, it is up to the SFA/SPL etc to administer rules, and shouldn’t be left to clubs to raise issues…but what chance do was have of the SFA suddenly growing a pair ?

     

     

    The daily Rag “reporter” just last week stated that ” There are NO problems at Ibrox” and of course the vast majority of that dim witted support lap that up…however if Celtic were ONLY capable of making loan signings every week, I don’t think I ( and other Celtic fans) would be too happy about the running of the club.

     

     

    Anyways, according to wee Sean Batty on tv…Scotland is to be hit with snow blizzards tonight and tomorrow, and this weather is coming from Canada and Greenland ?

     

    Where’s ma big Boots and long johns ? LOL

    Carillion avoid administration by going straight into compulsory liquidation. Hmmm,suggests that they have been trading while insolvent. It will be interesting to see if the directors are held to account for this shambles.

  24. Good morning all.

     

     

    5 more sleeps. For those that will be attending. Actually, 5 more sleeps for all of us as, going or not, I’m desperate for the Bhoys to be back in town.
