Co-op awards Celtic the League Cup Final

940

Really pleased the Scottish Professional Football League have awarded the League Cup Final to Scotland’s largest football stadium, Celtic Park.  We are now hosting the League and Scottish Cup finals, as well as the head of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games.

So with the Commonwealth and Scottish Cup gigs going to Celtic, why didn’t Newco Rangers get the other final at their 50,000 capacity facility?

Back in the days such certification existed, Ibrox was a Uefa five star venue, whereas Celtic Park was four star, but maintaining those standards takes, well, maintenance, which has not been a priority in some parts.  Celtic Park remains highly functional, and safe.

There is also the hazard of planning an event, even six weeks out, at a venue owned (cough) by a company which does not have bank credit facilities and who are broadcasting financial distress signals like some kind of insolvency Batman call.

These perfectly valid reasons are, of course, a mere distraction from the real reason, the Co-op Bank, which controls Glasgow City Council, is also able to manipulate league football in Scotland and decided to award the final to their partner organisation, while cutting their borrowing rate, by way of compensation.

Issue 19 of CQN Magazine is fresh off the press, 104 pages of great stuff from the CQN community.  10 men won the league, Dam Justice, the Celtic Foundation, and Brogan Rogan outs the difficult questions to Pat Nevin about his Cup Final comments.

    Just read your interview with Pat Nevin this should set the record straight. Why some people jump to the tune clearly played by others is enigmatic to sat the least. You are correct in terms of the language/phrases used with the abuse Pat received. If you use the net and visit footballing sites you should be more than familiar with their use and who uses them they are not used by any Celtic Supporters I know. “MACHIAVELLIAN” now there is a word.

    One Machiavellian property is that one MUST avoid being despised and hated.

  4. Pat Nevin made a huge mistake and yes we are right to say he took the BBC Scotland contract money and that would obviously influence his opinion.

     

     

    In his defense I cant see anything that may acquit him of gross grovelness to his paymasters

     

     

    So still guilty even after the CQN interview in my judgement

     

     

    Public apology to the hoops no more no less

     

     

    Its easy Pat just say so we can all hear the real bigots as you know well are not us..

    Did you see the interview of Gerry Hassan (www.gerryhassan.com)by Alex Thomson?

     

    There is only one team in Scotland with a serious bigotry problem.

     

    However, in Scotland its not so clear. That’s what PN is basing his income on.

  6. really sad some of the anti catholic comment on here earlier, by people swalling masonic propaganda on all the tv and radio and newspapers. What is showing intollerance about saying that “gay marriage” isnt marriage at all. its not about morality but rather its akin to saying fat men are pregnant. The debate to be had is between do humans define everything or are something things inate.

     

     

    Procreation is what a marriage is defined by nature as being, because individual hetero couples cant procreat or choose not to does not invalidate their marriage because collectively that type of relationship can produce children thus each nonprocreating union is still marriage, gay people can sadly not yet procreate with their partner naturally therefore it is not marriage but civil partnership they enjoy what ever we fool ourselves into calling it as a society. No one is saying its sexist against men to say that fat men are in fact fat, not pregnant, yet we have to redefine a word because of peoples feelings? Humans don’t get to define what is black and white, white is the colour white no matter if we call it green or not. And if u really push me id say gay sex is a sin, but then so is many practices we all indulge in (and sin does not mean immoral, or evil, just “transgression”) and these most trivial of matters will not send one to hell or anything close to it but if someone is striving for perfection they would not only treat people nicely, the most important thing, but also would not have sex before marriage or have sex with a gay partner even though these latter things are at the very bottom of the list of things to do when striving for perfection as treating people nicely is the hardest and most important one to achieve by far.

     

     

    I had a friend who was gay who was loyally protestant, he had a boyfriend, and he boycotted sex as that was the interpretation he had of the bible, and what his father had taught him because they where true to the core points in the bible which are the ten commandments and treat others would have treated but also as st pauls gospel rights it is not right for gay sex, we cannot understand why god would prohibit loving sex between 2 monogmous adults but we are not god. I think the key is this, once humanity evolves sexually to where it is natural for gay people to be able to procreate with their partner without scientific inventions, at that point that is when god is giving us the green light to call it marriage, not before, till then it remains a valid but different institution that what marriage is.

     

     

    Right now u just have a lot of brainwashed people calling a loving civil partnership “marriage”, when the capacity of a relationship type to have the potential generically to produce children is what nature defines marriage even if one individual couple is unwilling or unable to produce, generically no homosexual cis gendered relationship can yet produce children naturally with their partner, and this to me is a shame but nature has not yet let the partnerships produce offspring and its a shame, so their is no herd immunity unlike straight non procreative marriages where other people basically have children for them on their behalf.

     

     

    People will say being gay is not a choice and they are correct, people will then say that acting on your feelings beyond just kissing and holding hands with your partner is inevitable which is clearly wrong as as I showed a real life gay person was able to be celibate. If it where me making the rules I wouldnt ask that of gay people in loving relationship but then im just a man and men try not to offend people or cause them harm but what if some gay ‘people are miserable because they are having sex and they don’t know why? Surely they should be allowed to try celibacy, only no one is even allowed to advocate that in order to improve the quality and intensiveness of gay loving relationships because we live in big brother 1984 hell. Heck even saying we shouldnt give heroin addicts heroin is now controversial so trying to help benign loving people to try a different way of showing their love for each other is most definitely going to bring out hatred from the people who have been brain washed with a masonic one sided version of “tolerance” saying something is a sin is not an attempt to ban it or even stigmatize it but rather just stating an ideal, impossible for humans to obtain morality, that some folk cant accept an ideal says more about the level to which they have swallowed humanist masonic propaganda and the level to which they hate the catholic church.

     

     

    I guess it makes sense that a minority community will often even become victimized by people who never had the faith to stick with faith and instead decided to believe humans could define anything as being anything inspite of self apparent truths and the worry is simple that if we can make a benign thing like foolishly calling gay civil partnerships gay marriage accepted by so many then the people running the show can make people think any thing they want us to think, all they have to do is convince us that we are violating oh I dont know “adolescents rights”, “murders right to do what they want with their own body” it sounds absurd now but then years ago the confusion over the benign but misguided word gay marriage would have seemed preposterous to those people living in the 1940’s.

     

     

    Still waiting on bobby murdoch curled up winker explaining why to say that calling fat men fat not pregnant is intolerance or not calling gay civil partnerships “marriage” is somehow “intolerance of a minority” neither example is “intolerance” its the typical battle cry of those who don’t wish to think or debate and cant find fault nor tolerate the other sides different point of view so come up with emotive but not evidenced based words to discredit their opponents. Sadly anti Catholicism is a world wide problem. Gay people have the right to call their union what they want, I have the right to use my own terminology, and saying using a different word that more accurately reflects reality is homophobia is exactly the news speak shut down of free thought that george orwell predicted,instead of practicing tolerance people like thatchel and bobby wrinkels curled up wrinker practice intollerance to anything short of 100% embrace, 99.99% agreement is not enough for these bigots.

     

     

    No doubt they will soon also be telling us world is overpopulated and if ur against starving Africa you are also somehow a bigot, because you are ” not protecting the future”…. We protect the future by killing off would be parents… strange logic… sounds much more like non racial “egalitarian” based genocide to impose a control system to me…..A total perversion of what actual egalitarianism is about.

    It was a tweet made by Derek Rae. He is part of the BT Soccer team.

    Not too sure…chimpanzees aim for the anus when there’s no vaginas on display…

    Have you got all the snow shoveled?

     

    We are sitting in between on Cape Cod. I believe you are getting hammered.

     

    Does Pat McK still go to the Club? I don’t know who you mean. The numbers attending are quite low these days.

     

     

    No bother today as we only had a couple of inches of snow. The problem was the 1/2 inch of ice on top and the icy slush. I only had the steps to worry about.

     

    Now we are told to expect a doozy over the weekend.

     

    Fortunately it will be after the game.

    One day the zoo-keeper noticed that the orang-utang was reading

     

    two books — the Bible and Darwin’s Origin of Species.

     

    In surprise he asked the ape, “Why are you reading both those books”?

     

    “Well,” said the orang-utang, “I just wanted to know if I was my

     

    brother’s keeper or my keeper’s brother.”

  13. I’m convinced the rest of us heterosexuals still left on Earth should get on with the job of pro creating as much as possible

     

     

    I’m sure even the gays wont complain about that

     

     

    We are after all their future

     

     

    The more the merrier I say

  14. ‘GG

     

    You got lucky then, and so did we. Only six inches at the moment. More to come tonight. P. McK. had a Travel Agency in Kearny. Also had many beers with Sonny McKeown, barman in the Scots club and formerly from Lynch’s, on London Road.

    has it ever crossed your mind that gay people can also be married and have children?

     

    Happens to many catholics..christians even and jews and muslims and hindus ..and chimpanzees

    Nah ..we’re all the same monkeys big boy..are we going down the evolution argument here that humans are religiously distinct species ? akin to the American global warmists deniers? Can we set the ground rules now before we go off on any christian religious drivel?

  19. Margaret McGill on

    I believe in one holy heat capacity of carbon dioxide and the self replicant miracles of a double helix yet to be fully understood. So can we now get back to talking about Pat Nevin and his not so adorable anus, Resurrection 12 and how all Celtic supporters are to be plowed asunder in the not too distant future under the auspices of faithful threw and threw.

  20. Nothing more closer to nature than a woman with a baby in her belly Maggie

     

     

    Now how do you go about it

  21. what the hell do we care on

    Mostly lurking but just popping head above parapet to say debate about pn interview is what CQN is all about – some differing opinions but all expressed reasonably, with tolerance and respect towards each other. Long may we continue in this vein.

     

     

    BRTH – George Connelly interview please…

  22. magret u cancall it a wedding all u want why must some people be forced to say it is a wedding when they think its not…. that they cant procreate with their partner, gay people to have marriage need to be able, at least one of them to procreate with their partner, naturally,evolution might one day afford them that ability, till then I will call it a civil partnership, respecting what nature defined as marriage, its not the individuals capacity to produce children that makes marriage marriage, its the capacity of the type of arrangement they are involved in in a generic sense to be able to create children even if individuals of that type of relationship are unable or unwilling. Collectively no gay people can have kids naturally with their partner, that is a shame but until we physically evolve for that to be possible a gay union will forever be a partnership not a mariage once one single gay couple can procreate with their partner naturally all other gay couples will get automatic herd immunity even if they are unable to do likewise as that one couple who procreated or unwilling. That’s equality for u, herd immunity extends to both gays and straights once a single gay couple can biologically naturally make kids, just like many heterosexuals marriages is protected via herd immunity. I do actually hope that evolution like that naturally happens for them, and that it comes soon. Then we would disagree about nothing. But it will take at least a hundred years for humans to naturally develop such new reproductive capacities. Till then will passionatley support the love between 2 gay folk but not use the masonic indoctrination of calling it “marriage”. You may think Christianity is bull shit. You will find out one way or other when u die. Be compassionate now to folk who believe in Christianity and islam etc etc, cause when that day comes u might just regret not being compassionate cause you wont get a chance to make amends after u die.

  23. Phil’s tweet tells me that death to Sevco MK 1⃣ is imminent now.

     

     

    Where do we go from here Bhoys?

     

     

    Need to get to feck out of that bigot infested swamp called SPFL for starters.

     

     

    Sky / BT battle for English league football rights is just about to hand Celtic something on a plate.

     

     

    Are we brave and united enough as a support to take this?

     

     

    Are we confident enough to insist on a pre condition that any move does not involve thems in any incarnation?

     

     

    Come on Celtic…..get the feck outta there please!!

     

     

    Phil MacGiollaBhain ‏@Pmacgiollabhain 23m

     

     

    I am hearing that a journalist asked a Sevco media chap about the possibility that VAT might be late. “No comment” was the reply.

     

     

    Can I take it that Mr Irvine is now busy drafting another personal assassination piece on Phil for this evening’s Super Scoreboard?

  24. ryecatcher

     

     

    The truth is the rhebels won by hard slog and undying support for the club they love

     

     

    Back in the 90’s we knew they were cheating but of course our paranoia was based on the premise the banks of Scotland were honest brokers

  25. Its so good to see our paranoia being replaced with obsession

     

     

    I would call that a major psyche clinical re adjustment

     

     

    In other words an improvement in the patients mental health

     

     

    Hope for us yet

  26. Pat Nevin interview?

     

     

    Usually love anything BRTH writes (his storytelling blog Strandsky really is sublime) but I think he is a far better storyteller than interviewer.

     

     

    I thought Nevin didn’t really say much of interest in the interview and had an easy ride for most of it.

     

     

    I wasn’t there so it is easy for me to say that but I don’t think PN revealed much we didn’t already know.

     

     

    I feel no sympathy for the guy,probably due to his work on Chelski TV,but the thing that bugs me most about him is his contrived personna as an intellectual ex footballer.

     

     

    Pat Nevin ain’t no intellectual.He pretends to be but I don’t pretend to listen.

     

     

    Soup taker of the highest order.

     

     

    Forget all about him……he is no friend of Celtic.

  27. Thindimebhoy…..

     

     

    I agree they were cheating even back then.

     

     

    The players they signed in late 80s /early 90s were unaffordable.

     

     

    Murray got away with lots pre internet.

     

     

    The Bhampots have won.

  28. Nae stories worth reporting today.

     

     

    Nevin.

     

     

    He wants us to believe he was duped by the BBC. Possibly, nae probably, he was. He then complains he hasn’t had much work from them since.

     

     

    Q. Why would he want to work from them again?

     

    A. Money.

     

     

    He bumps his gums about ‘sectarianism’.

     

    He now does work for….Chelsea!

     

     

    Gies peace.

     

     

    Mair faces than the toon clock………and………nae apology.

  29. Evolution and natural selection? What nonsense

     

    Referring to ivf in a derogatory way as “test tube babies”. A bit hurtful to those who have had to do it and their children and btw it’s a Petrie dish

     

    Hail hail
