Pedro does his job, no more no less, he does a very decent job with bringing in sponsorship, I assume he is responsible for it, now I am struggling as to what else he will do that is furthering the well being of the club.

I have met both you and Canamalar. I know many Tims who know Canamalar. We are from the same part of Glasgow. Not me you were talkin about. I would guess that many CQN guys you have met, have also met Canamalar. Don’t fall out wi a good Tim fae Partick. ???
Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

Couldn’t turn in with that question left hanging, you’ve already agreed, he saves the clunb from administration and liquidation every week ffs ?

First touch. Every player has improved since Brendan’s arrival.
Big Tom Rogic already ahead it, usually after messing up 3 times at the start of a game.
However the guy who has the best touch every time, nearly, is – not Calum though he would be close – James Forrest.
Not only does he control the ball but often beats his man with the first touch. Inside or out or roundabout. Today he displayed all of his skills.
And yon Toljan had a pretty nifty spin touch today which bamboozled the Saints defenders. Brilliant.

Was not at the game today. My one man bhoycott of the FTSFA Cup. Watched it live on a stream. Wished I was there. Dichotomy ?
DD, totally understand your stance. I think Auldheid &Co. are going to be looking for threats of such action around season ticket renewal time. To get some movement from the board re. the SFA.

As the CEO of the club. he lead the way, as you would expect. when the opposition establishment team was cheating with the support of the SFA to challenge this and make a difference, Not only were the tainted titles stripped, but the untainted ones which do not belong to the tribute act were also removed, Res 12 was also sorted successfully with a ban for the new Rangers for a number of years in European football. The referees now need to declare their team allegiance and cannot referee the team they support. The game is now on a level playing field
What more do you expect?

The question is not why P.L. earns so much.
It is why do the others earn so little.
Is it possible that Dermot Desmond and the others do it out of love ?

Well it’s that time of the wee sma’ hours wance more and even the arthritic creaks from the house settling down to a night’s slumber have ceased, leaving me alone with only Quasi Modo like tinnitus pealing as an echo of the emptying of Cumberland Street bottle bank….which I will commence restocking in a few hours with now evacuated bottles from a night on the musical Merlot and dramatic Dalwhinnie Winter’s Gold.
Anyway, to bore any night owls I’ve just dug up another memento from the past…another product of a brain fed by the joys of discourse with the likes of Pablophanque, Lurgan53 and El Diego Bhoy… this one dates back to 19th January 2007……….
Youse are all probably far too young to remember those days when as a wee boy, the groundsman used to leave the big corner gates on Janefield street open?
But I can.
A few of us used to sneak onto the train at Blairhill, jump off one door and back on another avoiding the ticket man until we got to Carntyne or Belgrove. We were maybe 6 years old at the time.
And then we’d make our way in to the empty stadium and……just sit there.
Not one of us had been to a game at this time; but our uncles and aunts, mums and dads and a whole variety of important people like jannies, priests, teachers, polis, undertakers, meter-men, Provi man, ice cream men and rent-men talked incessantly about this magic called Celtic.
There was Tully, Fernie, Fallon, McStay, Evans, Peacock, Thompson, McGrory, Delaney, and myriad other giants clad in green and white hooped armour!
We just listened, learned, and stored it away for rainy housebound days when we relived the legendary exploits with an imaginary ball, on an imaginary pitch, in a real and all too inadequate bedroom. We would shoot into an imaginary goal, dive on the bed in a vain attempt to make a last ditch save, and then belt round all 6 ft of the shared bedroom silently screaming at the top of our open mouth, until we had to stop for breath and to prevent a burst blood vessel.
Get-togethers and parties were not complete without a rendition of the Coronation cup song, or my Uncle Peter’s favourite – Land Of The Pope and McGrory.
Day in, day out we had our own pre-internet blog where the conversations were posts, the descriptions were video links, the sun always shone when we won, the talk was short if we lost, but the crowds were huge, noisy and dedicated to the cause.
True or not? It didn’t really matter!
We had no telly, little radio, and no streaming. Only the waiting for the buses and trains to come back, the triumphant stride of singing witnesses to the latest heroic deeds, or the silent trudge of hunched pallbearers returning from the recent bereavement and interment of our hopes – for another week.
And so with the magic of our minds’ eyes when we stole into the ground, we just sat there, looked around this citadel, and closed our minds to the grim reality of a grey world. Suddenly the sights, smells, sounds, cheers, groans, passes, shots, saves and goals were as real as the day they had happened and for me, Jim and Tommy it was as magical as we had imagined it would be.
Boy was that great!
Anyway I’m now in the winter of my years and such romantic nonsense can be cast to the four merciless winds.
We all know better now!
Don’t we?
A Whisper in Paradise
Your whisper enticing, as clouds leave the skies
Your warmth so inviting, is calling me home
I turn to avoid you, but you won’t let me roam,
Your heart pulls me closer to my Paradise
El Paradiso, yes our Holy Ground,
When life has deserted it’s there will be found
My ashes upon the green grass in bliss
A breeze soft caressing a heavenly kiss.
The days when you held me in your welcome arms
Those nights of great drama when we dared to dream
Of hopes and of pride in Celtic our team
No one can replace your spirit or charms!
El Paradiso, yes our Holy Ground,
When life has deserted it’s there will be found
My ashes upon the green grass in bliss
A breeze soft caressing a heavenly kiss.
A choir starts softly and starts to resound
Of Walfrid’s great passion to feed starving souls
Those seeds he sowed then have flourished in shoals
O’er St Patrick’s waters and St Andrews’s ground.
El Paradiso, yes our Holy Ground,
When life has deserted it’s there will be found
My ashes upon the green grass in bliss
A breeze soft caressing a heavenly kiss.
Big Jock is awaiting with Jinky to greet
With Bobby and Ronnie a welcoming smile
Till then I’ll just wait at this stage for a while
Where magic is conjured from mesmeric feet!
El Paradiso, yes our Holy Ground,
When life has deserted it’s there will be found
My ashes upon the green grass in bliss
A breeze soft caressing a heavenly kiss.

No, that’s nothing like I said, nor implied.
Pedro does his job, no more no less, he does a very decent job with bringing in sponsorship, I assume he is responsible for it, now I am struggling as to what else he will do that is furthering the well being of the club.

20,000 per week equals 1,000,000 per annum.
The players are rippin` us off shock.

Jobo, Not sure Chris Sutton would agree with Dunfermline being on your list!
Plus there was an unholy alliance with Dunfermline’s CEO/owner? and David Murray and The Bank of Scotland. None of it to the benefit of Celtic.
There might be six scottish teams thinking about it.
Celtic
Sheep
Hibs
D Utd

Defo ofski now.
GAVIN Masterton – one time owner of Dunfermline FC and Chief EXC of BOS went bankrupt with debts of 1M. Very pally with David Murray.

Am just about to hit ma kip but I now appreciate within minutes you were protesting your innocence:-)
Love it ?
I am a bit slow but I get there in the end … Brendan Rogers is here to break records along with Scotty Sinclair & Scotty Brown ???
Top Six
Celtic, of course
Albion Rovers, naturally
Ross County
Partick Thistle
Dunfermline
Raith Rovers
Positions 2 to 5 can be randomly interchangeable.
The The The Govan Rangers will be the YoYo club with successive promotions and relegations from Divisions 2 and 3.
I can dream CSC.
