Lots of speculation over the weekend that we’ll see Craig Gordon in goal for Scotland and Fraser Forster in for England tomorrow night. I’m claiming the two of them as ‘ours’. Big Fraser was a great Celtic goalkeeper and professional. He deserves one last curtain call on the pitch that made him.
I see Dick Advocaat completed his work with Serbia in less than half a season after their home defeat by Denmark on Friday and is now available for employment elsewhere. The Serbs have carried some hurt after Denmark made-off with Euro 92, when one of Europe’s great teams were denied their stage by civil war. The Danes were famously on the beach after being eliminated from the qualifying rounds by Yugoslavia before war in the Balkans opened the door for them to compete in, and win the tournament.
The last thing Serbian football fans deserved was to have Advocaat lead them. The Dutchman left us with so many great memories.
Do you have Craig Whyte holed up in a safe house, as the formerly advertised Motherwell-born billionaire remains at large after a warrant was issued for his arrest on Friday? If not, he’s perhaps gone feral and living in an outbuilding.
Check your shed, look behind the bins. It might be an idea to leave some food out for him. He may be disguised, there is no guarantee he’ll be wearing his Celtic scarf and Burton’s apparel, so stay alert.

Good luck to Scotland tonight in a game that doesn’t matter to us.
Hope no Celtic player involved plays more than a half. We have huge games to play in the next four weeks. Games to launch us into 2015 in good fettle.
Wayne, welcome back to Celtic Park. Don’t doubt, Celts appreciate and remember the good wishes you’ve expressed in our direction throughout the years. Have a good one this evening.
Anyone have a direct number for the ticket office? HH

Due to living in Swindon and having to work on Friday nights,my visits home are sadly infrequent.
I still managed to attend both the Morton game and the Hamilton game.
I have since been officially barred-by my kid sis,and I don’t argue wi her!-from attending in the autumn.

My old man is still heart broken about that final. He was getting his appendix out in 1967 when Celtic won the European cup. He didn;t even get to watch the 2nd half as it was visiting hours even though he argued with the nurses that nobody would come in. The old bloke across from him in the ward was a Rangers man and watched the game. My dad cried himself to sleep and when he woke he said ach wee man the team in stripes won. He cried himself to sleep again. It was only when the visitors in the evening came in and his sisters appeared that he found out Celtic had won. He was devasted in Milan at the game.

Travelling to games like that is to be applauded mate. I was in the tap and barrel before when I was working down there and met a few of the Swindon Bhoys. The journey you Bhoys under take is incredible.

Brogan. You mean somebody who might own everything like Minty
Weeminger. Difference Between minty and Ashley is that Ashley has money Once again , doesn’t take much to outspend Celtic PLC
As usual the over riding wish for tonight’s international is that all Celtic players come through unscathed

The Tap and Barrel crew,Swindon Shamrock CSC,was amazing. Hunners of us,it seemed.
It started to go downhill about 10 years ago with a change of ownership,and hit the buffers when the recession hit.
Sadly now no more,though I bump into the occasional ex-member. Bumped into four of them on Saturday and had a great time!

HamiltonTim:
Until and when Celtic start fighting for their – and their supporters – rights, in transparent, public courts of law, I will continue to snigger at their statements, and I’ll reserve scepticism borne of precedence.
Remember Motherwell and how quickly Celtic reacted to remove the rights of how many Celtic Supporters? That was a boot in the baws for me, a really sore one too.
——
Just quickly as I’m on my break.
Like you I’m sceptical of many statements that come from those in charge at boardroom level at Celtic. However, on the safe standing issue my original scepticism has been removed and I beli that the club are doing all they can to have it implemented.
Re Motherwell.
It’s well known that it came on the back of two ‘contentious’ banner displays at Parkhead. However, there is another reason why Celtic reacted in the manner they did. I’m not prepared to post it on a public forum though mate.

Do you think Ashley is prepared to finance a loss making team so he can have a bauble? I don’t and that’s the real difference between him and Murray.

I was there about 5 years ago and it was a midweek game. St Johnstone. I think it was a 6pm KO. There were about half a dozen Bhoys in. There was a corner of the boozer with the CSC stuff on it. The area around the bar was a bit dodgy to say the least. The Bhoys said to me to get a taxi back to my hotel but I just walked it. I have been in much worse areas.
I have friends who live down there and we hope to get to Swindon this year. I will let you know if I am down and we can meet for a pint!

Winning Captains,
just bought a couple raffle tickets, but got the following message:
“Order Status
ORDER NUMBER: CQN960 Payment has been made for this order but it has not successfully recorded onto our system. Stock levels will need to be adjusted manually and payment manually checked with Stripe.”
Im assuming from the text, all is ok and its more of an internal issue for you guys, rather than any issue with my payment?
Apologies if you have posted previously to any other posters who may have experienced the same as me, but Ive only read this page so far!
HAIL! HAIL!

Hamiltontim:
Does the other reason ‘justify’ what Celtic did to all those innocent supporters?
Weeminger. Ashley bought Newcastle with 134 m of his own money
Murray bought the deid club with borrowed money
He has made a substantial loss at Newcastle while increasing his image
He would only need to put a fraction of that money into the deid club to out finance us
Mea Culpa 9.41
There is a factual discussion on when it went wrong at
http://www.tsfm.scot/a-spectre-is-haunting-scottish-football/comment-page-6/#comment-35291
which is based on facts.
The time SDM got it foolishly wrong and could have avoided signing the liquidation warrant was 2008.
It’s all there and anyone interested in debunking the CW did it myth need only provide those facts and figures.
It is all the more astonishing that when the big spend happened in Aug 2008 the determinations, ie HMRC’s assessment of what they were owed in back tax from the BTC ebts had been issued in Feb 2008.
A mixture of foolishness and hubris killed them but even death does not appear to have ended that particular cognitive virus.
Watching Sky Sports news.

What a despicable individual, cannot bring himself to say Celtic Park……Parkhead for him.

I read that in The Guardian. Heavily loss-making,but not a problem if Ashley decides to go for it in Australia by providing the stores for those products.

Stop worrying. It’s not going to happen.
Litigation will put any money “invested” in TRFC at such a degree of risk that smart guys like Ashley will hold off until the lawyers take their bite at the remains and as BDO have said it’s going to take a long long time to settle the liabilities.
Re Ashley and the huns,
I read an article recently (perhaps on here?) from a couple years back where Freddie Shepherd the ex-Newcastle Chief Exec/Chairman, stated that either during or just after the negotiations for Ashley to buy the Magpies, he asked why Ashley wanted to buy them and one of the key reasons given was that he wanted to expand his brand into the various Far East markets and the free advertising he would get courtesy of EPL coverage would be the ideal vehicle for him to do so.
HAIL! HAIL!

Re my previous. Of course in Aug 2008 SDM probably had no idea his money supply tap was about to be turned of at the mains.
Even so my points re foolishness and hubris stand but perhaps the latter outweighed the former.
International break has been a god send to Hunco and MSM…
It’s given a valid excuse for not covering the latest fiascos over at Ibrokes……

I think I have just bought two raffle tickets, but unsure if I have?
Technophobe that I am.
Winning Captains,
I got the following message after entering my payment for the raffle.
Order Status
ORDER NUMBER: CQN966 Payment has been made for this order but it has not successfully recorded onto our system. Stock levels will need to be adjusted manually and payment manually checked with Stripe.
Bob Dylan: number one Hun skelper.
He skelped racist huns, folk purist huns, rock huns, his own hun fan(those turnips who resented the lingerie advert), left wing huns, Joan Baez huns, cop huns, press huns, voice huns, harmonica huns, cinema huns, Richard Dawkins huns, blood on the tracks huns etc.
Even Alan Thomson can’t beat that.

The payments are coming through but seem to be generating these emails – we are working on it at moment.
As I said we are getting the payments fine. Sorry for the confusion.
Now for revenge and Compen-FFin’-sation:
“Our fans groups should never let those in charge of the witch hunt against our club rest easy.
We should be demanding resignations at the end of this as we can’t possibly work with these people.”
——
“The club was in effect a victim that was punished,Regan should be on his knees.”
——
“It’s a disgrace the way we were treated. Wouldn’t happen to ANY other club in Scotland”
——
“There was a rush from the sfa, the spl and other clubs to punish rangers – during a on going police investigation! – shareholders in the old company should look to sue the lot of them for damages!”
——
“isnt this something the RFFF should be used for on behalf on a shareholder?”
——
“100% correct in my PERSONAL opinion”
——
“All part of Timothy’s master plan, years of getting the right placemen in positions of influence, **** Rangers over, try & kill them off to allow the tims to get stronger, they even got the other clubs on board (useful idiots) to help bury us”
——
“And everyone of them took their instruction and leadership from chief declan(Pete the jap).Dont be fooled by ‘the wee won’t be commenting on Rangers situation.’…They were behind all the punishment meted out to us.Of that I have no doubt.’We will nail Rangers to the floor.’Pure scum from top to bottom.As my dad says’ don’t trust Timmy.’ ”
——
“Honestly, when folk start getting sentenced, it would not surprise me if the SFA attempt to sue Collyer Bristow and Duff and Duffer – due to financial damage to the Scottish game as a whole!”
——
“One of the worst days for me in all of this was, after a relentless onslaught from tv, radio and printed media for us to show contrition and issue an unreservedly apology, our then Chairman Malcom Murray went on TV to do just that…..How the feck can that be reversed?”
——
“Not only should there be an apology from the rest of Scottish football, there should also be a huge compensation payment from all Scottish clubs to Rangers. Effectively a tax on their revenues for years to come. We are due multi-millions.”
——
“It was all borne out of complete and utter jealousy of wee chip on the shoulder Scottish guys who have known nothing other than Rangers success in their time. We’ve basically ruined their lives by being so successful. This is why Scotland will never flourish as it’s full of people like this.”
——
“I was discussing this the other day and all I reckon we have lost out on £150m all in, or at least we will have done by the end.”
——
“In my honest opinion it was one step away from ethnic cleansing
They were desperate to wipe out our history
To say I hate each and.everyone of the rhats involved is an understatement”
——
“I have zero appetite for the game in Scotland now,the thought of our support putting money in our enemies pockets makes me ill
I need to see some serious revenge”
——
“The treatment of Rangers from the SFA while we were at our weakest point in our history in Spring/Summer 2012 was nothing short of a national scandal.
They bowed to pressure for other clubs acting on severe inferiority complexes which turned into wanton blood-lust.”
Auldheid – and for those who say “it’s the fans who suffer blah blah” – they (the RFC fans, including those with typewriters) demanded that the OTT spending continue, even accelerate, the fans played their part in the downfall.
Oh how my heart bleeds…

No matter how successful he makes Rangers they’ll not increase the coverage he already has. Which is why I think it’s far more likely he’ll put the minimum in to take the maximum out.
Running them prudently he’ll profit. Outspending us he’ll lose money. That’s the bottom line.

Costs far more to get a EPL club in Europe than an SPFL

Out youth system is a shambles and so is our 1st team
