The opposition may be less-illustrious than Juventus. our last European opponents, but the importance of next month’s Champions League second qualifying round games against Cliftonville still got the pulse beating.
It is a good draw for Celtic, who are spared travel and associated challenges.
The first leg, at Celtic Park, will take place on 16 or 17 July with return in Belfast on 23 or 24 July. Don’t book travel until dates are confirmed.

Four Green Fields yes its a great spot have some great memories and parents are retired there beside lough melvin.
Is the big Vic Deffo for the off? I heard a very reliableish rumour that he was more than happy at paradise.
FGF,
I need to look again, I have had advice frome different sources which conflict.
Initially name as per share registration and current address such the share must be registered to, make sure the first 100 have £100 worth, get their numbers then check against the register, importantly make sure it’s no bull, oh and get the register.
Was told no need for numbers but since found out it can be a sticking point if I don’t provide the requisite details, still trying to find an official document to outline requisite details.
Had a few mails telling me they bought into an HBOS issue that did not provide voting info. So I need more info on this.
Yesterday rightly knocked the stuffing out of all of us, real life does that, we can only deal with what’s in front of us and there was one of ours and his, who are in real pain, god give them the strength to go forward and be strong.
I’m actually still a wee bit weepy for the pain I know they are feeling.
So, I’m gonnae do my own research stop asking experts and will be back in the next day or two with what I find.
Then we let the experts correct the info.
Currently I’ve taken a step back, no use going forward in the wrong direction eh
Hail hail

Coorslad,
Is micky’s barn dry :o)
Radio scotland 16.00 neews reported £12 mil agreed between ourselves and southampton.
Is this proving to be more premature bunkum?
Canamalar1,seen some sites last year who didn’t even make it to a barn..
Micky gets a deal with the hotels,or sort you with a bungalow or apartment ..
Great chance to meet other Tims other than at the games.
Gordon _J backing Neil Lennon
If both clubs are agreeable then the venue can be switched . Shelbourne of Dublin drew Rangers in the first round of the UEFA Cup in 1998. The big standoff at Drumcree a fortnight earlier raised fears that there would be serious crowd trouble in Dublin. The match was played at Prenton PK, home of Tranmere Rovers with Shelbourne opening a 3 – 0 lead in the first half before losing 5 – 3.
Maybe The Rafa Nadal will apply to get direct entry into the final…..
Danny’s Story
On the 22nd of August 2010, on
the day of the first home game
of season 2010/2011, the Green
Brigade unfurled a banner of Neil
Lennon with Ibrox in flames as
the teams emerged from the
tunnel. Everything went as
planned and there appeared to
be no sign that over the course
of the next 16 months, my life
was going to be turned upside
down as I was made to attend
11 court dates for a banner that
was deemed offensive.
In November of 2010 I was at
work and got a call from my
Grandparents saying that the
Police were wanting to speak to
me. This caused me both shock
and confusion as I had never
been in trouble with the Police in
my life. After contacting a
lawyer, he arranged for me to
meet the police at London Road
Police station. I went along
where I was formally charged
with a Sectarian Breach of The
Peace (this was prior to the
introduction of the Offensive
Behaviour and Threatening
Communications (Scotland) Act
2012) before being taken to the
cells and kept in for several
hours. I was then questioned
about the Neil Lennon banner at
Celtic Park and admitted holding
it on the basis that I felt that I
had nothing to hide.
I was eventually released and
told to appear at court in
December, where I plead not
guilty to the alleged offence. The
Fiscal then dropped the
Sectarian part of my charge
meaning that it was now simply
a BOTP. I then had to attend
court a further 10 times,
resulting in my case being
perhaps the most expensive
BOTP to be processed through
the Scottish Judicial system. My
case was continually adjourned
for a number of spurious and
occasionally ridiculous reasons.
This pantomime continued for
months with each passing court
date making it increasingly
difficult for me to remain in my
job, as the days off naturally
took their toll on the patience of
my employer. As every court
case came, the Procurator Fiscal
would claim to not have
sufficient evidence ready, or an
eye witness would have to go in
for a knee operation.
This charade continued for 16
months before my trial finally
went ahead. The trial itself then
lasted 3 days, ultimately
resulting in a Not Guilty verdict.
As one might expect, this was a
major relief and a massive
weight off my shoulders.
The verdict however did not
undo the damage that this case
caused. The regular days off
work as well as the constant
looming threat of the
repercussions of a ‘guilty’
verdict remained a strain on my
whole family. My lawyer was
confident that we would win the
case but at the same time he
had to be realistic and inform us
that a custodial sentence was a
possibility if convicted. For
someone who has never been in
trouble with the law before, this
seemed both surreal and
terrifying. Holding a banner at a
football match could
theoretically have landed me in
prison.
Fortunately, this particular
nightmare was never realised
and the judge came to the
correct decision. Unfortunately
though, much of the damage
was already done. Due to the
amount of days off that I had to
take, I was subject to
disciplinary proceedings at work.
The amount of shifts I was
offered decreased dramatically
and I simply could not afford to
live on a 16 hours a week wage
when I had myself and my family
to support. I eventually lost my
job however I was fortunate
enough to find another shortly
afterwards.
To look back on what I was put
through, and to consider the
affect that it had on my family,
it seems incredible that it all
stemmed from holding a banner
at a football match. A banner
that was neither racist nor
sectarian. Sadly it now seems
that football fans are fair game
in the eyes of the government
and the police. As if to
demonstrate that, and to
emphasise the problems inherent
within the new Offensive
Behaviour Act, I was arrested
again under the new law and
wrongly accused of an apparent
crime once again. Fortunately
this time the judge had the good
sense to see the case for what it
was and he threw out the case
on the basis of video evidence
which exonerated me of any
wrong doing, and thankfully I
was spared the nightmare of
further court appearances. Now I
simply hope that common sense
prevails and that the SNP can
accept that this new law is
simply not working, and that
there must be a complete and
drastic overhaul regarding the
way that football fans are
treated in this country.
Danny.

My dad mentioned it to me yesterday. He is going so a couple of us may tag along..

Thanks mate , had forgot all about that festival .
How are you ?
Im good mate thanks, hope we can catch up soon for a beer
You happy with the draw, enjoy Donegal hope the weather is kind
Sipsini – Both clubs have agreed to switch the games for some reason.I think Cliftonville were a wee bit afraid of us beating them about ten nil at home,as there would then be less interest in the away leg.

I know Andy , stay beside him in Glasgow . Small world.

BT,good stuff,All Fleadh is on for a week,Starts 11th August,be nice time for him to be here..
I’m for Bundoran,brilliant last year,Donegal won the All Ireland on the Sunday,some party..
asonofdan,
Time for recourse laws, there must be human rights laws that give Danny compensation, Shirley
Nice one , did some work with Gerry, i remember one of his brothers worked in McCuskers was he Andy? if so he sorted me out many years ago with CL tickets for me & mrs which i was grateful for. He also had another brother Marty I think was his name. I think they are now part of the new diaspara after the country was ruined by the muppets in charge, Donegal & Leitrim very badly hit, have some great friends in Manorhamilton.
CelticRollerCoaster was wondering if you had any space for another player if football is still being played?
Apologies if this has already been posted (probably has as it’s a couple of hours old) but apparently Celtic and Cliftonville have agreed to swap the ties around, so we’d be away on the 16th July. Yet to be confirmed though.
What will the ticket allocation be like? Their stadium is less than 3000, so I can imagine tickets will be pretty hard to get, especially as the demand will probably be quite high also.
Latest is Cliftonville are going to put temporary seating in.I heard they are going to allocate the entire away section of their ground to Celtic fans.That wee stand holds about 800.Very generous of them.
Evening bhoys, hot and hun free in the mountain valley.
So, the huns have sold 17K season books, allegedly.
This caught my eye…..
FROM A SEVCONIAN
Renewed under the 10 month option as getting married next month and money is tight due to the costs.
My renewal options were
Season Ticket Price £288.00
Monthly Payments £31.32
Fee £25.20
Total Payable £313.20
Which is totally fine.
I have a good credit rating and have no issues getting credit.
Zebra Finance Proposal
Monthly Repayments £62.64
Charge for Credit £54.00
Amount of Credit £576.00
Total Payable £626.40
Over twice what my season ticket is worth.
………………………….
I wonder if the spivs have anything to do with Zebra Finance, wouldn’t surprise me.

just popping on to say thanks for the recommendation of Ee Usk as a restaurant to go to in Oban. I stuffed myself there not once but twice, not cheap but worth every penny. Also recommend the Oban Bay Spa Hotel , we were lucky and had a decent room , some other travellers were in smaller rooms. The breakfast was excellent and service good , make sure and book it on a deal/package.
Cheers

No that is not the case. The wee tax case is covered by Article 50 and ” Rangers” (oldco) failed to meet the admission criteria by having unpaid tax. It is unclear if this is the wee tax case or the unpaid VAT/PAYE or both. ( As an aside if it includes the wtc what changed between April/May 2011 and April/May 2012 to make the wtc a reason to refuse a licence? Nothing in my view, having pored over CF leaks on the matter. The wtc was as much overdue in May 2011 as it was in May 2012. However back to the reason a 3 year exile applies)
“Rangers” were excluded under Articles 47 and 50 on grounds of no audited accounts and unpaid tax. Those Articles have no time frame as it is an annual process so applies 1 year at a time.
However “THE Rangers” (newco) the ones who rose from the ashes were exiled for failing Article 12 which does have a 3 year timeframe and that is a club has to have had membership of the national association to qualify for consideration for a UEFA licence. Over 3 years they should amass 3 years accounts but accounts are not mentioned in Article 12.
So its lack of 3 years MEMBERSHIP that causes the 3 year exclusion.
You have obviously missed earlier tutorials on the matter so are excused the 100 lines. :)

If Sevco are genuinely playing Bristol City just so they release Foster so he can join Sevco as a free agent, football fans need to create hell over this now so the SFA cannot allow it to happen – these fu**ers can’t be allowed to do this shit
Good to see their hate is going world wide.

ASonofDan
The process adopted by the Procurator Fiscal in Danny’s case is without doubt a breach of Article 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998. The Right to a Fair Trial includes the right to a “Fair Hearing” 6(3) and also the right to 6(5); “Trial within a reasonable time”. The latter right has certainly been breached. From the point of being arrested and or charged to the actual trial it is obvious, to me at least, that Danny “has been substantially affected as a result of a suspicion against him”. Multiple court visits, and subsequent referrals, time off work, loss of earnings,and subsequent loss of work, due, it appears, to the incompetence (in the legal sense) and intransigence, in the wider sense, of the Procurator Fiscal’s failure to bring the case to trial in a form in which the case could be heard. The Sheriff, or Justice is also at fault by allowing such leeway to the prosecution by persistently allowing the case to continue in the face of repeated and continued delays. It also prevented Danny from using the classic Scottish defence when faced with the charge of breach of the peace, namely;
“And whose peace did I breach?”
Tet – I think its zebra finance that do our DD scheme too.

From what I’ve heard Southampton seem to think it’s a done deal but those close to VW are saying there’s no way he’s going there.
Time will tell.
