Celtic Quick News fully supports the decision by the Supporters’ Association Executive Committee to ask an Emergency Delegates Meeting to vote on whether to selectively boycott clubs which vote for a Newco to be admitted directly into the SPL next season.
We discussed the idea of a boycott on this basis towards the end of last season. It appears the only appropriate action if our ‘sport’ can be subjugated for financial ends.
I am sure Celtic fans will not be the only ones considering a boycott. If Newco gains access to the SPL next season there is likely to be a schism between supporters of clubs who opposed the move and those clubs who vote for Newco, despite the wishes of their own supporters.
Kilmarnock might be able to look forward to lower costs for stewarding and turnstile operators, from their own support as well as others. Still, they would be able to open more than one stand when Newco visit.
What a great five days Walter Smith had. His attempts to buy assets from Rangers administrators failed, sigh, but he managed to undermine the guys trying to sell tickets to Ibrox next season, so it wasn’t a complete waste of time. Legned.

ernie lynch, if I was chairman? No, of course not. There is no provision for a secret ballot, it will not happen.
On the subject of Parks of Hamilton being used by Celtic, I didn’t catch a reply from you to my point the other night. I’m not sure which way to go on this point. Is it worth kicking the idea of ditching them around for a while? Maybe a wee article, overreaction?
Not sure.
Nacho Novo – you will never ever will be the Spanyard.

‘Ernie,
So we say nothing?’
It would be better to say nothing than make empty threats that have no credibility.
One word from Neil Lennon and the fans will be there.
The club chairmen know that.
Auldheid,
You know I agree with your membership scheme. I dont believe that the plc had the gumption to pull it off.
I think they prefer to communicate through conduits rather than directly to us. Giving us rights of any kind such as membership rights is not for them.
Imagine a united world wide official club that disagreed with them ?

FROM THE BBC
“Thank you for your e-mail. Your comments were passed to the Sports Editor, who has asked that I forward his response as follows:
“Thank you for your comments.
Following the publication of the names of individuals who had received payment from Rangers FC by way of an Employee Benefit Trust, we have discussed the issue with Billy Dodds and reviewed his contribution to an exchange on Sportsound on 02/03/12.
When he was asked the question, he replied that he had always paid tax on his wages in the normal way i.e. it was deducted at source by his employer. In so doing he made – and continues to make – a distinction between his regular on-going income and bonuses from Rangers FC and the one-off payment that he received as part of a complicated severance and transfer deal that took him to Dundee United in a part-swap involving Steven Thompson joining Rangers. It is this latter payment that was made by way of an EBT.
Billy maintains that he had no knowledge of EBTs in use at Rangers FC prior to receiving his final pay-off in this way and that he never heard EBTs discussed by his fellow players.
Thank you, once again, for taking the time to contact us.”
Thank God Billy is off the hook and didnae know anything, and that the BBC weren’t duped by him.
I love my licence fee going to these tax dodgers.
who are the jokers lining up to buy the corpse now?

Can a complaint not be made to Uefa re that disgraceful comment

Hi
I like the underlying inclusive ethos in your idea. Practicalities obviously need consideration, and there are other possible approaches / additions to your suggestion.
For example, a Celtic-run scheme for pooling and selling on / reallocation of season ticket seats where the ST holder knows in advance that he/she will not be attending the game.
It should be possible to allow a ST holder to, for instance, log on securely and return a ‘match ticket’ that they know will go unused for a weekend game to a ‘Celtic Late Tickets Pool’.
Celtic could then reimburse the ST holder, say £5 for their trouble, and allocate the ticket on to members of the ‘Celtic Late Tickets Pool Scheme’ for, say £10 pounds. Fans would take out a Membership for the Pool Scheme for a very small fee – a couple of pounds a month / £10 a year – really just to cover admin costs.
This could offer an, albeit irregular, opportunity for fans who can’t afford a SB to get a very cheap ticket for a game, provides some extra income for Celtic, and may help maximise attendance at games.
Or something like that…

It’s all over twitter although I think he has deleted it. I’m not sure how you’d approach UEFA if it has not already been done.
If anything it shows the hatred and racism he learned at that club.

That wee reptile embraced it … Odious wretch
nothing without fans
Anyones share of the debt going beyond 25% gives them a veto should they choose to exercise it. Approval of the CVA requirrd 75 %.
David Attenborough is forever saying that the world is overpopulated…
Even despite the enlightened One-Child-Per -Family Policy of the PRC since the ’60s….

Right ? Right !
Who is responsible for paying the Hun players at the end of this month ?

I agree. I think the Bhoys had been celebrating a wee bit too much.
Eight of the team which won the cup on the Saturday played against Morton.
Davie Cattenach, John Clark and Harry Hood replaced Jim Craig, Jim Brogan and Bobby Lennox respectively.
A final comment on the 1969 final.
The Sunday Express carried a great, wide-angled photograph titled “The Rangers (1873-2012) end, after Celtic’s 4th Goal”
It shows them spilling on to the cinder track in their droves and walking away.
Time 4:24.

I know I’m not excusing him, but to think you could pick up that sort of outlook on life by playing at a football club is incredulous.
If he had joined a loyalist paramilitary murder gang, I doubt his views would be so venomous.

So Ticketus’ share dropping to 22% meant that they didn’t, on their own, have a veto, contrary to what had been widely reported.
Evening bhoys, hope we are all well.

I won’t spoil it if you haven’t seen it or don’t know the score.
Young Mc Gowan at tarts cld be our the new Jim Craig.
I see the whole your not really a Celtic supporter unless you have a season book nonsense has reared its head again.
FYI
Celtic will survive without a certain persons renewal, that persons family may not if daughter wasnt in the best nursery / creche possible.
Total nonsensical notion.

I am a ST holder.
Once upon a time I wasn’t a ST holder.
Always been a Celtic supporter.
Never a better or worse supporter than anybody else.
What an absurd idea of a Celtic class system – suggests everything Celtic is not and never will be.
Whats this news, comedians not paying their tax, how’s that news?
