The commercial consequences of Sunday’s Ramsdens’ Cup Final result didn’t occur to me until Celtic released season ticket news yesterday. Over the years, when possible, Celtic and Rangers released season ticket renewal notices on the back of a favourable result.
As well as a party at Ibrox on Sunday night, the wheels would have been ready to roll with photographs of newly acquired silverware and a plea from the most expensive failed-yet-retained manager in history to renew early. There may even have been a price increase this year, slipped in amid the feel-good factor.
There has been a lot of talk about how critical season ticket sales are to Newco Rangers but we are no different. The circa 40,000 people who commit to support Celtic each season are the rock bed upon which all plans are made. Sure, Champions League money is critical, but without this volume of season ticket sales there would be no Champions League money. The season ticket is the Badge of Honour in Scottish football, during these critical years more than any other time.
In 2012 when we campaigned to deny a new club access to an elevated position in Scottish football we did so in the knowledge that competition in the league would be different going forward. This was our preference. While actual attendances have often been below season ticket levels I know that to a man, woman and child, everyone who pitches up to watch Celtic appreciates being apart from the scourge which afflicted us for so many years. This is the way I like my football, long may it last.

Cavani misses a simple chance for PSG to kill the tie !
The referee in the game Dortmund : Real 10/10.
I am not after sponsorship for the time being but will be spamming the absolute feck out of you later in the year for sponsorship. :)
I have just signed up for the @nccauk Neuroblastoma UK Santa Cycle leg between Edinburgh and Glasgow on 7th of Dec 14. 60 mile cycle visiting a few hospitals on route bringing gifts to young kids dealing with cancer.

From memory, not reliable…
Think Catholics could not be MPs from 1690 till 1830 (?) Pretty difficult to be PM in those circumstances lol.
As it happens Presbyterians were also barred for part of that time.
The percentage Catholic GB population was tiny until growth in the 19th century.
So…while agreeing with you as a point of principle there are some extenuating circumstances too!
Without sleplang mishtwooks. :)

PSG Keeper barged as he jumps for the ball. Ref calls foul. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Damn Chelski get that late goal :-(
The Act of Settlement was passed in 1701 by the English paliament, six years prior to the Act of Union between the Scottsih and English parliaments in 1707.
It is therefore originally an English “Act”.
Just to be clear!
LOL. No.
What was the other woman called? Angela somebody. Legs up to her oxsters.
Just heard the name Ripon. Might be her.
sorry its only 6!
Apart from my spelling mistakes of course.
The huns have scored
****Thursday CQN 5s****
Well it had to happen!! We have been playing for just about 15 mths now and the injury and holiday toll has hit epidemic levels, as either the young minds are not matched by the aging bodies or they are on the randan :-)
Our youngest player is 25 and the oldest is 60. Mentally much younger though :-)
If you would like to join our squad, we are currently recruiting for trialists and have a couple of spaces for this Thursday and beyond.
We are open to all and have 3 pet zombies in our current squad. Thursday should be fun, as we congratulate them for reaching their first cup final :-)
Drop me an email at celticrollercoaster@yahoo.co.uk if you are interested.

As most will be aware, back in November, over £1300 was raised on behalf of HCPT group 77, of which my daughter Laura is a member of.
This £1300, has allowed full funding for 2 desperately needy children to travel to Lourdes for the full Easter Week, on Pilgrimage with Group 77 of which Laura will be a full time carer, and is so excited about.
A young 14 year old boy will have the time of his life accompanied by Laura ( will not put up details on him, or the other child) with numerous other Children on this fantastic trip.
Now as a thanks to CQN, and for those who would appreciate
Laura will happily take names or photo’s of those dearest to you and who have been lost, and whom you would like prayed for at Lourdes Grotto, their names or photo will be placed at the Grotto with the visit, these are collected daily and prayed for.
The exact same offer is open for those who you would like added to the Daily petition Prayer box, who desperately need the help of both Lourdes and Prayers to support them through current difficult times
You can drop Laura a message on HCPT77@hotmail.co.uk where arrangements can be agreed
Thanks Again to CQN for supporting this brilliant opportunity for those in desperate need
Hail Hail

Absolutely. More than any other poster on this blog he is unrelenting and aggressive in trying to force his political views on other posters. He is also aggressive in his approach which I take exception to. On his first post tonight he has a go at anyone who dares to hold a view that they don’t want independence. You are no more than a fellow traveller. YAWN!!!!!!!!!
I’m going to adopt the same approach to you as I have decided to do towards him in future. This is Celtic Quick News not Independence Quick News.
Fair enough
