    Do you think Celtic should have paid money to advertise a game (or tournament) they have already received their fee for….pay to advertise to make money for somebody else, am pretty sure every Celtic fan knew this game was on, not sure paying more money to advertise to not earn any more money would be a wise decision

     

    ==================

     

    I was not referring to this particular event. The point reminded me of experiences of others in their dealings with the club and my own in terms of making anything happen.

     

     

    As a club open to all I think the experience that could be drawn from that “all” is under utilised.

    Thanks………i don’t think that add on is installed so i will try to install it and see how it goes.

    Agreed, but I was only talking about this game where Celtic have received their fee so should not then pay money to advertise to make the promoters money….let them do that

     

     

    I was just happy with another run out and no injuries :-)

    You sure sound like one disillusioned fella.

     

     

    Don’t let the disillusioned bit beat you,bud. As the old saying goes…

     

     

    Don’t get angry. Get even.

    I know. It was really Burnley and wider audience I was addressing the response to. I thought the game was pretty good for a friendly.

    Its going to be an interesting couple of months leading up to the AGM.

  10. embramike says "the Huns are Deid" on

    The Scottish Professional Football League was formed on June 27, 2013 when The Scottish Football League and The Scottish Premier League merged to create a single body to govern the 42 league clubs in Scotland.

     

     

    The 2016/17 SPFL Board is made up of :

     

     

    Neil Doncaster (CEO),

     

    Ralph Topping (Chairman),

     

    Karyn McCluskey (non-executive),

     

    Peter Lawwell (Celtic),

     

    Ann Budge (Heart of Midlothian),

     

    Ian Maxwell (Partick Thistle),

     

    Leeann Dempster (Hibernian),

     

    Eric Drysdale (Raith Rovers), and

     

    Ken Ferguson (Brechin City).

    Serge must be a good age now. It seems like a long time since he had je t’aime in the charts.

     “If there is something about a product,shop,company,etc,that you don’t like,you can boycott it. Alternatives are available.

     

     

     

     That simple option isn’t available if you are a Celtic supporter. It is self-harming.”

     

     

    *****

     

     

    If that attitude had been taken by supporters back in 2012, Sevco would’ve resumed in the top flight as if nothing had happened.

     

     

    It was only the threat by supporters of non-renewal of season tickets that led to them having to apply to join the bottom tier.

     

     

    Similar pressure prior to The Big Lie being bellowed in front if our faces on a weekly basis as the quest for 55 begins for a 4 year old club, with no contradiction from the SFA, SPFL, or any of the clubs, might have made a difference in the wall of silence being broken as regards this utter nonsense.

     

     

    Systematic deliberate cheating for over a decade at least,titles and cups stolen, yet included in the 80 plus titles/cups conferred by the ‘authorities’ on the Newclub, 276 creditors and tens of millions of pounds not paid, Insolvency law ignored, and no one outwith the Internet bam pots utters a word in protest at this farce.

     

     

    Having paid to watch a rigged game before, in ignorance, why would I pay again, this time in the knowledge that there is zero sporting integrity, honesty or fairness in the Scottish game?

     

     

    Especially when the silence from our own club signifies its acceptance of this awful state of affairs.

    Welcome big Toure, Exactly what we need, Calming influence and experience. Well Done Brendan.

     

     

    Good read on here today, feels like the good old days on here before all the malcontents. Keep it up bhoys.

     

     

    Big Week ahead.

    Hi Kolo, welcome to Celtic.

     

    I’d have preferred you when you were age 23, but your here now.

     

    If you get more than 8 starts I will be amazed.

  21. jimthetim53 on

    Maybe I’m getting mixed up with which site I was on, but I think it was here, I used to love the Friday night quiz. What happened to it? I was only a lurker but I joined in in my own way. (I was rubbish!)

  22. bournesouprecipe on

    Scott Sinclair has played for Aston Villa, Bristol Rovers, Chelsea, Plymouth Argyle, Queens Park Rangers, Charlton Athletic, Crystal Palace, Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic, Swansea City, Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion.

    We now have 2 K Ts in the side, just to confuse GG who loves initials.

    I think its MM that uses the initials??

    Really happy to read that the Kolo Toure deal is finalised.

     

    Going by his performances for Liverpool in last season’s Europa League, I feel our defence will be safer. Welcome to Paradise Kolo.

    He might be 35, but he’s no Carlton Cole. He’ll get more than 8 starts IMO.

  29. Delaneys Dunky on

    Was speaking to a Villa and WBA couple in Valencia last week. They reckon Scott Sinclair would be a sensation against Scottish defences. Pace his strength.

    GerryFTB,

     

     

    I used to go to a lot of quizzes with my best mate. We were always up there in the prizes, not because of me. But my mate has a memory like no one I’ve ever known. Once he learns a fact it would take a cannonball to shift it. Now and again I came handy but I needed a few moments to remember.

     

     

    Another mate of mine achieved high places in multi-nationals and he was the same, great memory. He said it is the secret of success for a lot of high profile CEOs.

     

     

    Peter Lawwell? ha ha

  32. Burnley78 on

    Gerryfraethebrig / Auldheid

     

     

    The argument about promoting yesterday’s game or not is a simple one.

     

     

    Short term gain vs medium term gain.

     

     

    Gerryfrae

     

     

    You are 100% correct in the short term there was nothing to be gained by Celtic promoting the game.

     

     

    Nothing to lose by doing a few more press releases or e mails etc to the fan base. Or talking up the Battle of Britain etc either

     

     

    I agree no immediate upside though as the whole stadium was within the rights bought by the organizing company.

     

     

    Your attitude is the same as I picked up on Friday from Celtics commercial folks. Probably the same held by PL and others at the club.

     

     

    The view I posted earlier was more around considering the medium and long term position.

     

     

    I am a Celtic supporter frustrated by our custodians lack of vision to change where we play our football and by the limitations playing in front of 5 million tv audience with limited exposure beyond this places us.

     

     

    Our lack of impetus to resolve this is a huge strategic failing for us as a club which is otherwise we’ll run in the circumstances.

     

     

    This pre season competition is well funded and is growing. There is some ambition in its structure. There is also decent reward.

     

     

    For a brand / Club such as Celtic it is good to be part of it. Good financially and good for exposure to a wider audience which Scottish football rarely gets.

     

     

    Important to note only 8 countries have clubs involved. Scotland is ranked 25th or similar in Europe. Our custodians have done well to have us at this table.

     

     

    We have no divine right to be there. We could lose that place to many other clubs very easily.

     

     

    Our appeal is important and viewing figures will judge that. However the energy and engagement of the fans will be important too. Contrast full stadia in Shanghai etc and huge tv audience for China and similar to a half empty stadium for a local derby in Glasgow.

     

     

    No one advocated any more money being spent on promoting the game. The organizers dos a poor job on the ground, not helped by Vardy dropping out.

     

     

    Celtic could however have talked it up and sought to share our passionate support with a wider audience. A nearly full Celtic park is still a hugely energizing thing for visitors to witness. I was simply highlighting a bit of effort to help secure medium term gain would have been good. Our commercial team pointing the finger at those guys from across the pond I. The USA for poorly marketing it is not good enough for me.

     

     

    Decent game mind you

    Maybe the clue is in the name.

    It has been my concern this past 12 years.

     

     

    Knowing the cost of everything very well but the value and opportunity of nothing.

  35. Drillerkiller on

    Someone earlier mentioned kodi for watching games, is it possible to use a vpn change your country to say Germany and subscribe to celtic TV worldwide?

  36. Delaneys Dunky on

    GFTB

     

     

    Just spent £23.50 to activate the season card for the Astana game. Better value than paying a score for yesterday’s friendly. Good game it was though.

  37. Gerryfaethebrig on

    Burnley78

     

     

    As I agreed with Auldheid totally agree the club could and should do more, but for all we know it could be contractual and Celtic might not have even had the option, but like you say Celtic should do more to keep getting invited to these tourneys but fans like yourself finance Celtic turning up enough without outside “promoters” also getting a slice of the action

     

     

    I don’t have one disagreement with you or Auldheid on the subject of our board promoting us better……the fans do their part

  38. quonno on

    For the life of me I can’t see what the fuss over promoting or nor promoting a friendly is all about.

    —————-

     

    VPN would help change your country of origin however I think when you sign up to Celtic TV it’s based on your credit card address. Though there will be those on here who live in the UK and abroad so will be able to confirm.
