Scott Brown’s comment that the players will “look to do any talking on the park” is what you want to hear from the captain this week. Scott’s only just returned from a lengthy absence and is yet to get into full flow, but on form, he is the difference between an anaemic and an effective Celtic.
It’s always hard to judge from the stands what a team is missing when it’s off form but it’s clear we need leaders on the park to grab hold of games and dominate opponents. Scott is our most effective player in this role; a lot of responsibility lies on his shoulders in the coming weeks.
Saturday can’t come soon enough. It’s a far more important game than the semi-final I continually see articles on.
I’ve been in touch with three of the Res 12 guys and hope to pick up on this shortly.

The actuality.
cretinism
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
cretinism [kre´tĭ-nizm]
arrested physical and mental development with dystrophy of bones and soft tissues, due to congenital lack of thyroid gland secretion from hypofunction or absence of the gland. Affected children have a large head, short limbs, puffy eyes, coarse hair, a round abdomen, a thick and protruding tongue with drooling, excessively dry skin, lack of coordination, and mental retardation. Thyroid deficiency that is acquired or seen in adults is called myxedema. Administration of thyroid hormone medication, which must be continued for life, can result in normal growth and mental development of these children. If untreated, however, they will become permanently dwarfed, probably mentally retarded, and sterile.
Surely saying you will do your talking on the park is doing your talking OFF the park?
Or am I being overly pedantic?

I have to agree with you, Saturday is a far more important game.
I was in the ticket office this morning picking up a ticket for the Thistle game.
I asked the lad how were the tickets selling for Saturday…”slow” he replied.
How about the semi final , he smiled and replied ” inundated”
Looks like the ”old firm” is alive and well for many.
An Tearmenn,
It is extremely unlikely the company would encourage such action, the company have already proved reluctant to accept their responsibilities to the shareholders it’s no likely the are going to tell more shareholders what’s going on, I can pretty much guarantee you this issue will not leave cyberspace, no one, not the Plc, not the SFA or the media want this to become public knowledge, else it would invite too many uncomfortable questions for all.

==========================================================
Duly chastened.
Tuesday 10th
It has been a fairly normal day in my present circumstances. My weight is 59. 3 kgs. and I have no medical problems. I have seen some birthday greetings from relatives and friends in yesterday’s paper which I got today. Also I received a bag of toiletries today.
There is no priest in tonight, but the chief medical officer dropped in, took my pulse, and left. I suppose that makes him feel pretty important.
From what I have read in the newspapers I am becoming increasingly worried and wary of the fact that there could quite well be an attempt at a later date to pull the carpet from under our feet and undermine us — if not defeat this hunger-strike — with the concession bid in the form of ‘our own clothes as a right’.
This, of course, would solve nothing. But if allowed birth could, with the voice of the Catholic hierarchy, seriously damage our position. It is my opinion that under no circumstances do they wish to see the prisoners gain political status, or facilities that resemble, or afford us with the contents of, political status.
The reasons for this are many and varied, primarily motivated by the wish to see the revolutionary struggle of the people brought to an end. The criminalisation of Republican prisoners would help to furnish this end.
It is the declared wish of these people to see humane and better conditions in these Blocks. But the issue at stake is not ‘humanitarian’, nor about better or improved living conditions. It is purely political and only a political solution will solve it. This in no way makes us prisoners elite nor do we (nor have we at any time) purport to be elite.
We wish to be treated ‘not as ordinary prisoners’ for we are not criminals. We admit no crime unless, that is, the love of one’s people and country is a crime.
Would Englishmen allow Germans to occupy their nation or Frenchmen allow Dutchmen to do likewise? We Republican prisoners understand better than anyone the plight of all prisoners who are deprived of their liberty. We do not deny ordinary prisoners the benefit of anything that we gain that may improve and make easier their plight. Indeed, in the past, all prisoners have gained from the resistance of Republican jail struggles.
I recall the Fenians and Tom Clarke, who indeed were most instrumental in highlighting by their unflinching resistance the ‘terrible silent system’ in the Victorian period in English prisons. In every decade there has been ample evidence of such gains to all prisoners due to Republican prisoners’ resistance.
Unfortunately, the years, the decades, and centuries, have not seen an end to Republican resistance in English hell-holes, because the struggle in the prisons goes hand-in-hand with the continuous freedom struggle in Ireland. Many Irishmen have given their lives in pursuit of this freedom and I know that more will, myself included, until such times as that freedom is achieved.
I am still awaiting some sort of move from my cell to an empty wing and total isolation. The last strikers were ten days in the wings with the boys, before they were moved. But then they were on the no-wash protest and in filthy cells. My cell is far from clean but tolerable. The water is always cold. I can’t risk the chance of cold or ‘flu. It is six days since I’ve had a bath, perhaps longer. No matter.
Tomorrow is the eleventh day and there is a long way to go. Someone should write a poem of the tribulations of a hunger-striker. I would like to, but how could I finish it.
Caithfidh mé a dul mar tá tuirseach ag eirí ormsa.
(Translated, this reads as follows):
Must go as I’m getting tired.

I really hope the bit at the end about never underestimating your enemy was from him, not you!

My sense is that Celtic need to start speaking to the crowd on Res 12, or risk finding there’s no crowd to speak of.

That speaks for me, and my family.

Thanks for your reply and earlier one,i know they would not be willing to assist(plc)i was thinking more along the lines of what they have to provide you with as a shareholder if you ask for it via your rights as a shareholder under company law, Good luck anyway,keep up the good fight and this resolution has truth behind it imo.
=================================================================
have a good night Celts,
HH
Tony Watt named in Scotland squad? I know hes scored a couple for Blackburn but…
HH
Let me assure you, if the deadline of 31st of March is true and nothing gets done, I for one won`t be handing any of my money over to Celtic. Of that I truly promise.
Good afternoon CQN
I hope sometime soon Peter Lawwell can inform Celtic shareholders and season ticket holders of the truth regarding the 5 way agreement
Copied from the johnjamessite
However the real bone of contention is that I, and other Rangers supporters such as Graham Spiers (he does no know me but he has stood beside me at Ibrox) know precisely what occurred in 2012. I approach everything logically. I have been trained to do so. What has become known as the ‘5 way agreement’ is available, if you know where to look, in two drafts. In these drafts, there is a proposal to Charles Green, who represents Sevco Scotland, that he consents to the ‘withdrawal’ of fifteen titles. This was the consensus of the SFA, SFL and SPL. The old company, in administration, was represented by Duff & Phelps in Canary Wharf, London.
At this point I ask the question as to who is the custodian, the legal guardian, of the 114 titles won by Rangers. Of the five parties in this proposed agreement, I posit that Duff & Phelps are the custodians. In my view it could not have been Charles Green. He bought a basket of assets and some historical trademarks. It’s evident from the proposal that ninety-nine titles were being offered to Charles Green. However he did not sign the final draft that would have conferred him with these titles. Some time later, all 114 titles were conferred to The Rangers Football Club plc.
Therefore it follows that at this point in time, a new legal entity is the custodian of 114 historical titles and this iteration of Rangers has everything required to disingenuously state that they are a continuum of Rangers. If this is where this narrative ended, there would be no discord.But let’s proceed logically. Neil Doncaster, in his position as CEO of the SPFL, has decided that six league cup titles and five SPL Scottish Champions titles, that he previously thought were unsound, should be included in his bundle of 81 titles. It also follows that Stewart Regan, his counterpart at the SFA, was prepared to bundle four unsound titles when bestowing thirty-three to TRFC. They signed both drafts. They stated unequivocally in writing that they were unsound. They transferred them in full.
Let’s step back again. If Duff & Phelps are the custodians, and the SFA/SFL/SPL require their written agreement to transfer them, when was this provided to Neil Doncaster and Stewart Regan. Did they take their assent from what effectively became a four-way agreement, and if they did would this agreement minus one important signature stand up in a court of law? Alternatively did they discard the agreement and just proceed to confer the titles without the authorisation of the custodian?
This was the point I was driving at in full. I could draw you a flowchart if that would assist my reader’s understanding of my logical position. If BDO had not been granted with leave to appeal to the Supreme Court my questions would have had more resonance. This does not make me a ‘Timposter‘ or a ‘Sick Puppy‘ as was implied in a scurrilous attack on my character on the RSL site.
Res 12 idea:
During 12th minute of next home game, stand and turn back on pitch.
In silence …
Reading a great book just now.
“The Scarlet and the Black”, about Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty who helped prevent around 6500 allied soldiers and Jews from being captured by the Nazi’s during the Second World War.
He was based in the Vatican City in Rome and built up a huge network of contacts and safe houses.
Well worth a read.

Or we could throw Tesco’s bags full of jobbies at the directors box.
Philbhoy.@ 2.55.
That book was the basis of a made for American / Italian tv series..- The Scarlet and The Black.Gregory Peck played the Monsignor..Early 80s .
In the airport, waiting for my flight, so I thought I would check in on CQN.
Not an easy or pleasant read. But then, with the house divided against itself the way it is, it isn’t easy being a Tim at the moment.
BRTH’s recent posts are hard to read; the evidence is mounting on the side of those who have long questioned the motives of our Board.
Are Macha. Really appreciate your posts. One of the reasons I keep logging on.

I remember the movie.
Wonder if it’s available on disc form anywhere?
Canamalar check your e-mail

I suggest the bags get thrown early doors………………for obvious reasons!!
Philbhoy .
Meant to add that I found the tv series to be a wee bit cheesey..However – – a great soundtrack by the great Ennio Morricone..Been a while since I heard it last.I shall dig the Lp out and give it a spin.Thanks for the memory !
Philbhoy..
I see it is easily available on line.

Philbhoy,
Maybe brown paper bags, the type that secret Jakey’s use, would have a better effect, but then again I’m no expert although I might be a secret Jakey ;-)
Macjay
I can assure you of one thing. The Celtic Trust would have acted in the best interests of shareholders.
It’s becoming increasingly evident that our Plc board haven’t.
Paul67,
I couldn’t agree more. Every league game we have to play until the end of the season is the most important one; not some 2 bit cup semi-final against a tribute act.
I DO hope there is some official action soon from our Board on Res 12. We are indebted to the likes of Auldheid and the others who have done the legwork.
SOT
Cheers!
Well off home to watch the BvB v Tottenham followed by Liverpool v Manure – is there anyway both these clubs could eliminate each other? :-)
Need to walk th dug first mind you.
Aff oot.
Watched the Chelsea- PSG match last night and actually quite enjoyed it!
I thought I recognised the referee, who had a stinker, imo, as a referee who refereed us and also had a stinker.
Or am I just getting to old fur awe this?
BRTH.
Check yours, deep deep reservtions
I am probably misreading an important point here but if the best Interests of the shareholders means making more money for the plc, does ignoring Res12 and encouraging the `Rangers` lie not, in the opinion of the Executive, do just that?
JJ
PS Do NOT see this as support for the Board on this issue.
mike in toronto,
Very kind comment a chara.

JJ
Only if making money is the primary concern of any particular shareholder.
Has there been a development on the Resolution 12 issue?
If so, could someone kindly point me to it.
