Tynecastle has been a source of intolerant abuse for decades. Visitors, including the Celtic support, have endured the most offensive behaviour imaginable. This is ongoing and culminated in our manager being assaulted in his technical area recently.
It is the easiest thing in the world to throw abuse at others while being blind to your own fans’ behaviour. It is merely adequate to criticise your own while pointing out the errors of others, for example – Celtic fans who vandalise are knuckle-dragging idiots – it’s that easy.
We await your apology public to Anthony Stokes for the sectarian abuse he received at your stadium.
My hunch is that you’ll body-swerve this one, that you don’t know sectarian abuse from public comments the Scottish authorities have made illegal in order to “equalise” the offenders, and this intervention will encourage the galleries of intolerance at Tynecastle.
Signing event in Stirling
Joe Miller will be at Waterstones in Stirling tomorrow (Thurs) from 5pm to sign copies of Caesar and the Assassin, Billy McNeill and Davie Hay’s account of managing Celtic from 1978 to 1991, told in their own words to Alex Gordon.
Joe is a great character who worked under McNeill, Hay and Alex Ferguson, and now heads the Celtic Former Players Association. If you’re in the Stirling area, get along and bring your camera.
The 2015 CQN Annual is through design and ready to ship next week. You can pre-order yours now.

Tonight would be as good an opportunity as any to play 2 up top….
Before anyone jumps in, Stokes has been playing wide left recently, in a 4-2-3-1
I’d like to see Griffiths get a start alongside Guidetti….broony and Johansen in the engine room. Forrest wide right, and Wakaso wide left.
Surely an opportunity to play 2 strikers up top

Plenty of psychos, however.

Excellent post
What the BBC has written:
‘Budge said that one home and five away fans were arrested for sectarian offences.’
What she actually wrote:
‘The police report confirms that one Hearts supporter was arrested at the match for sectarian abuse.’
‘The same police report confirms that five Celtic supporters were arrested for sectarian abuse, coin throwing and disorderly behaviour.’

BBC Scotland, 4th April 1968:
‘Today in Memphis, Tenessee, a rebel blackman caused uproar when he threw himself in front of a white man’s bullet. Celtic have been asked to comment.’
1 arrest in the Hearts end; must have been a very long tea-break again…

Anne Budgie – did she tweet those comments?
I thank you…
Right, time to head to The Park to see The Champions play.
Hoping to be entertained with a 3+ goal win.

Hoping for another master class from Stokesy tonight
Well said Paul67. The Hearts statement is agenda-driven, although I wonder who is really behind the agenda. Is Ms Budge just another patsy?
Seats are broken every time there is a big game in Scotland, even at Celtic Park when Scotland are playing. It has been happening for decades and has been seen as collateral damage, until now. Why would that be?
As for kids leaving the ground “traumatised”, what a load of made up crap. I can imagine Hearts fans writing/emailing such nonsense because THEY were traumatised by the result, nothing more, nothing less.
Celtic FC will never be forgiven for thrashing Hearts at football, so soon after they themselves thrashed the Huns. That’s what this is all about.
Strong statement from club
Like it

No, but someone obviously ruffled her feathers.

She’ll be pecking away at this issue for some time to come…
Team
Gordon,
Matthews, Ambrose, Van Dijk Izzy
Brown Mulgrew
Tonev Johansen Stokes
Guidetti
Dear god…Charlie? Why?
She will need to come down from her perch,
She could find herself up before the beak.
Bench has Zaluska, Bitton, Scepovic, Commons, Berget, Kayal, McGregor
No Forrest?
KC on bench again – imo he’ll be off in Jan
Surprised Bitton didn’t get the nod ahead of Chaz
HH
Patrick27 ….
Is that your guess, or did you see that somewhere? I will be very disappointed if CM is back in the middle.
In which case she’ll be in a flap

Official, just can’t copy and paste the tweet
Ms Budge can shove her statement where the son don’t shine.
Bhoys….in Bristol airport , flight not til 8.45.
Updates on the game would be appreciated
https://twitter.com/celticfc
On there
She should have been a bit more cagey.
Tinkering again…8 ((
Police have no knowledge of any vandalism.No reports of broken seats.
Tom, totally agree with what u said
Dropping(s) this would probably be wise…
Glad to see big Charlie back in, it’s all well and good having a player that looks ok against ten men but when players who’ve played a the top level are available they should be first pick.
If there was 100 broken seats, I would bet my life that the media would have mentioned it before now.
There clearly is an agenda, has been since our inception, not going to change, we need to get out before it kills us off.
HH
Much a doo about nothing
Patrick27
Its not the team I would have picked, but since you didn’t pick it, I’ll not give you whatfor :)
Forrest not even on the bench tonight? Injured, or fall out from the weekend? Just complete speculation on my part, but I dont imagine that RD is the type who would have taken to well to JF’s demeanour when he was substituted…. just speculation, and adding 2 and 2 together …mind.
Pleasantly surprised by the official response from Celtic on this issue.
I echo Canamalar’s thoughts – I thought the same same when I first read the statement fromm Hearts. On the one hand, this was a refreshingly honest statement from a club chairperson which is badly needed in this country in trying to re-connect with supporters rather than treat them with contempt, but on the other, it seemed a bit odd in that the only chosen target seemed to be Celtic.
After reading the Celtic statement, I suspect Anne Budge has has been manipulated by an agenda-focused third party of some kind – unfortunately, despite showing signs of having more savy than most other Scottish football chairman put together, she will be likely be naive in how they have been conducting their tawrdy affairs behind closed doors.
BT,
Hardly tinkering.
It’s the team from last home game but tonev in for jammesy.
Celtic statement suggests Mrs Budgie needs to take a look in the mirror. :-)
mike
Ahaha I’m just the messenger
No Jamesy interesting to hear what Ronny says, but any attitude problems could have seen him sit this one out, agreed If just resting surely he would still make bench
Looking forward to seeing Tonev – has had two good sub appearances lets see how he does
HH
I can’t believe some of you are trill going on about the hearts statement.
