Creating a beleaguered narrative, just in case

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

If Newco think SFA board member Gary Hughes is likely to be a thorn in their side due to his Celtic supporter credentials, or because he referred to (Oldco) fans as “the great unwashed” in 2006, I suspect they are mistaken.

Hughes was a member of the SFA board which last year decided decline the SPFL’s decision to investigate Oldco’s practices.  What has now happened, due to the Daily Record’s splash on Hughes’ comment this morning, is that he is effectively neutered on the subject of Newco/Oldco.

None of this is likely to impact on the forthcoming action of Rangers licence to compete in European football in 2011, Gary Hughes has no influence there whatsoever.  But it helps create a beleaguered narrative, should matters go against the Rangers group of clubs.  And that lot, great or otherwise, do love a beleaguered narrative.

    looking forward to the new Snow Patrol album,

     

    had a couple of good nights out watching them

    John 51 seriously… Spartans would not stand a chance.

     

    They would end up singing Celtic songs without a punch being thrown, and we would claim the win.

     

    ???

    Any word from anyone who visitited the fanzone on Sunday?

     

     

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

     

    Visited might be wrong word.

     

    We park just off Nuneaton st

     

    On Advice of youngest in our motley crew we went up Celtic way

     

    and round back of Rangers end( I protested it was at out normal turnstyles

     

    Celtic end North Stand at Janefield st)

     

     

    After walking all way around ground I was correct.

     

    Got there about 12:35 and was a queue to get in basically 1 in 1 out.

     

     

    We were right at front of queue when security said they would stop serving at 1

     

    and told my mate we would be better going to Kerrydale suite.

     

    I thought just wait and get a couple of rounds. But one of my mates

     

    said no go to Kerrydale. Left front of queue ambled over to the suite

     

    to be told private function no plebs allowed.

     

     

    Typical Celtic

     

     

    Driver was more gutted than rest of us as we were all

     

    a bit delicate from day before but everyone but driver had managed a few

     

    on way in,

     

     

    So got to see fanzone through fence

    Ragin statement FC and their Hibernian rant of 24th April was noted at the time as embarrassing, but

     

    they and only they, could go on to compound the situation by citing increased demand which was exactly why

     

    Hibs cut their allocation.

     

     

    I genuinely fear for Jim Traynor’s sanity.

     

     

    Away Allocation

     

     

    I posted in 2010 that Rainjurz ( as they were then ) should have had their ticket allocation for Celtic Park withdrawn due entirely Sectarian songs and specifically The Famine Song ( banter ).Had tit for tat followed

     

    we’d have banned them and told the world why.

     

     

    Instead alot has happened no least Rainjurz demise and the birth of Sevco, who’ve effectively banned the Celtic

     

    support because they keep getting pumped.

    Follow the money as the saying goes. Huns will sell season tickets in the Broomloan on the promise thems will get Celtic matches bringing cash up front which they desperately need. They knew full well Celtic would reciprocate therefore it also saves them their annual six figure repair bill for Celtic Park. Worth bearing in mind, if they make the top 6, final game against them at Ibrox wont be until end of April 19’, the £500k cheque won’t land till May. They can’t wait that long for the money.

     

     

    They love playing to the gallery and this also ticks that box. In the end they will reverse the decision if not next year then soon after.

     

     

    I’ve been to all of the previous matches at Ibrox, paid the £49 and went like I do all other games Celtic play. I won’t get a ticket next year, disappointed to miss two Celtic matches but couldn’t care less about going there and £100 saved.

    John Kennedy on RadioX is about to play the new Snow Patrol album in its entirety. Cannae wait. Three tracks I have heard so far are dynamite. Bangor’s finest!

    The Celtic statement was clever in many ways. One being that we haven’t actually mentioned any numbers here, leaving the door open for the Ibrox mob to backtrack on the advice of police and then shout to their fans “we tried”.

     

    My own personal view? Treat the same as we treat our main rivals, Aberdeen. Give then whatever number the Dons get, charge them the same price as every other visiting team, £29 (not as if WE need the money) and see what they do in return.

     

    Time for a sleep…

  29. Oldbhoy on

    All Celtic Supporter’s, should tell Celtic Football Club,we think its for our fans 800,away at Ibrox,that the safety of our supporter’s, that we decline their ticket allocation, and the same with their fans at Celtic Park,

    Just saw your post mate. Your arithmetic is correct of course. It’s currently 114 v 104. But they are citing 118 trophies which includes the divisional titles plus their solitary Ramsden Cup win.

     

     

    The sooner we make 55 titles the better. 6 to go. As things stand we look certs but you can never tell what’s around the corner.

    Hope they stick the 800 of them up in the corner with the restricted view. Only problem would be they cannot really see their team getting a good pumping.

    Goooooood Evening CQN Double Treble & EBT loving Champions

     

    ??????? Every Bloody Trophy ???

     

     

    Now have tried to post twice earlier and got taken to I’ve won an iPad

     

    So

     

    I see Dickson still at the SFA ? Never mind Hughes ( who has no official connection to the champions other than being a huge fan)

     

    Now new SFA CEO, your first duty should be protecting the integrity of the SFA

     

    Mr Dickson was the man who it appears fudged the application for his former team in2011 & 2012? You know the club being investigated

     

    And also now applying with for a licence with his new club

     

    Maybe you should be investigating this individuals role

    John Kennedy is a DJ as well? Didn’t think he had the time wonder does Brendan know

     

    JC2 thanks for the feedback mate looks like plenty of room for improvement early days I suppose

  41. NorrieM on

    One other thing

     

    I pay for a season ticket, and knowingly pay to miss 2 games a season

     

    This is where KevJ is right, Celtic should never have recognised this new club, by giving them 7500 tickets for our ground, and treat their fans different from all other SPFL clubs

     

    We are now letting them set an agenda

     

    Celtic please take this lead in some very key issues in relation to your own fans

     

     

    At least I may be able to attend an additional 2 games I already pay for

     

     

    Incidentally my simple sums

     

    7500 tickets at an extra £19 = £142500

     

    We then loose out on additional Policing cost, damage to our stadium, sales of windfall tickets, programmes and catering, suggest we make an extra £100k for these games

     

    Not worth the hassle Celtic

     

    Look after your own fans
