There’s always a bit of trepidation before Celtic play a meaningless game, like they will do in Turkey tomorrow, the propensity to pick up injuries feels higher, although this is possibly not borne out by statistics.
Before Sunday the team look like they needed a break but no injuries, please.
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard allegations that some or other council are controlled by, and for the benefit of, an ethnic or religious minority. This is an old-time prejudice, up there along with allegations of criminality or the personal hygiene habits of the minority. But like Corporation buses, they come in groups.
Anyone can report Celtic for whatever they like, and believe me, many do. Which is a great pity, as there are real targets worthy of attention elsewhere….. For years, while others were buying football bling, Celtic were acquiring land, all appropriately, as is their borrowing. More importantly, they have been able to establish all of this without question. Confirmed.
Just because one club was an omni-shambles doesn’t mean any others are. Enjoy the laugh.

And another thing . It’s a pity we couldn’t, unleash George Galloway on that irvine guy , seems like he,s behind our bad press , and he,s going unchallenged .
Let me quickly add that many Scots are kind loving warm hearted and generous to a fault and that many of those are not followers of Celtic and indeed may not care for football. Regrettably their influence does not seem to be sufficient to have changed much and I can’t see independence being a catalyst for what I hope is the silent majority. Time will tell.

Is that going to be shown over here?
Started to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer again with Mrs CRC and Caityrollercoaster (new Buffy recruit) tonight.
Oh the memories, the short Buffy skirts and boots and of course the vampire slaying! Class.

Some of the off football stuff on here is well sadly comical.
The Orange minority literally love the Queen and some posters are stating that somehow an Independent Scotland will encourage more of this minority behaviour , utter bollocks.
Just passed the brand new shiny Kings Cross Station , just down from the shiny new St . Pancras , cranes everywhere , £32 billion on fast Rail thing , new airport thing in London … Sweet Jesus H Christ , the UK investment pattern is focused on the M25 … London govt paralysed in action.
In my non scientific survey of working around the UK for the last 30 years , north of the M62 is xxxxed and no-one gives a monkeys to fix it.

I travel to London a lot recently and am impressed by the interest an the debate on Independence vote
But…
When I hear a Scottish person who has bailed out on us telling me that it will never work my answer is always the same
You gave up your right to an opinion when you bailed out – imo
I’ve worked for different periods of time in the last 20 years in at least 15 countries but by choice my home is Scotland
I’m proud to be a Scot and a Celtic fan
Not only does this hallowed blog have “experts on football” it also has “experts on politics”. And I also notice that most of these “experts” are one and the same. Is this a peculiar coincidence, or am I seeing a trend??? Reading some of the comments, I imagine Google must be getting a bashing. Night Night Timland. :)

Did our Mr Sheridan not pally up with Campbell to attack Celtic about 6 weeks ago?
Seen the SNP adverts at some SPFL grounds on TV. Do they advertise at Celtic Park ?
EKBhoy,
Have you visited Aberdeen?

A Sectarian employment policy in the Socialist Labour Stronghold of Glasgow , displayed openly for all to see. Can someone tell me what the Unionist Parties and the SNP did to stop that? Absolutely hee haw!! Hypocrisy on here of the highest order por cierto.

So in your opinion the Daily Mail and the Right are largely positive and don’t play on the fears of their readership/electorate?

Funny how you want to castigate Derbyshirebhoy’s post, whilst views from others, resident outwith Scotland, are ignored. Care to illuminate ?

As for the EU – forget these years of negotiation nonsense. It will be relatively easy.
Trust me.
What is the point?
Self Respect
Autonomy
Sovereignty
Decency
The chance to make a better place to live for everyone
You won’t get that in the UK, you’ll just get screwed over worse and then when you do don’t come crying to us about the chance to change anything.
When the top up fees come for Students – it’s your fault
When the bedroom tax continues – its your fault
When the next war comes along – it’s your fault
Ad infinitum.

With Independence we will get a constitution, make sure freedom of religion is part of it, that protects your rights.
When it comes to schools- personally I would have NO religion in School but I respect the rights of people to have faith schools if they want them.
Do you honestly think that with a written constitution they will just take it all away?
I doubt it VERY much.
If it concerns you so much then get involved, campaign and make damn sure that the things you hold dear are protected in an Independent Scotland
weeminger
You miss the point………..
I have real fears about safety in an independent Scotland. I am far from a Daily Mail reader, just real, tangible concerns.

‘When I hear a Scottish person who has bailed out on us’

That’s a bit narrow minded and introverted.
‘Oor ain folk in orr ain wee place’.
Pathetic.

Well that’s me convinced.

By far the best non- football post on this blog for a good number of years.
Current politics and economics for the UK is broken , there is no future in the status quo …….. We need to break from the London centric , unfettered approach which is unspokenly ripping the country apart.
Easy to see when eyes are opened .
We’ll done sir

He certainly did
Paisley and North Renfrewshire MP Sheridan is a co-sponsor of the motion, which reads: “A small number of supporters of Glasgow Celtic have repeatedly displayed banners, some of which have promoted terror and attacked the bravery of British troops.”
The MPs go on to call on the boards of all clubs “to take action against those who promote violence”.
But Sheridan’s Labour colleague Jim McGovern last night defended Celtic and criticised the motion for singling out the club.
The Dundee West MP said: “Every senior football club have their minority of supporters who act in a manner that occasionally causes embarrassment.
“As I’m sure everyone is aware, Celtic FC have categorically condemned these banners.
“I would support a motion that was less partial in its criticism and which more accurately depicted the situation.”
A club insider said: “Mr Campbell has made a career out of attacking Celtic so this comes as no surprise at all.”
Why should people who for their own reasons have left Scotland be listened to?
My point on the level of debate was that it was enlightening but…
We have the vote not the English or the Scots who have left us

I am making a further New Years Resolution – I am not responding to or answering any more of your insane, nasty and bitter anti-Scottish posts after this one.
Life is too short.
Happy New Year.
Snake
Yeah get involved, air your concerns……..got a sample of challenging “that” when the kettling happened.
Snake Ihave no doubt you’d be normally correct, but not in this unenlightened bigoted corner of the world. You are outlining dreams; my fears have been evidenced throughout my life experiences. But even further entrenched by the abuse of law, power and the state by this Scottish government.
Who were the targets ? Young Tims, harangued, abused, jailed and vilified. Vote for more of that ? Huh…….
You seem removed from the reality of it here.

The SNP decided who would be allowed to vote in the referendum.
All the worse for them when the result is known.

I’m not suggesting by any stretch you’re wrong to have those fears and I would never suggest that people’s reasons for their choice of vote are invalid.
My comment was on the general tone of the No campaign and the fact the motivating the electorate by fear is a tactic largely used by those mentioned.
What do you see as the most likely outcome of a No win in terms of your fears? Will things stay the same, get better or get worse?
Do you not think it’s interesting the those promoting a ‘No’ vote on the Huns sites are predicting the exact same outcome but from the opposite side ie more ‘taigs’ at the top etc etc?
Right now all outcomes are possible – regardless of which side wins – although some are more probable than others.
The only thing that is certain by a Yes win is that the Scottish population will be entirely responsible for who ends up in power.
Lotto not won tonight again thats 5 times. Why is the jackpot only 6mill on Saturday?
Come on now bhoys dont you all know bcw is the sheriff about these parts? Tonight a political expert , other nights a republican expert, this site has been turning into a keyboard bullies refuge for several months and the lack of real celtic men/women who actually want to talk about the fitba who bother to participate is alarming. Signing off now before the inevitable hun jibe from the bully boys

Good for you.
You’ll have noticed that one of your fellow nats seems to think that you should be ignored anyway, on the basis that you’ve bailed out of Scotland.
charliemac
I live abroad. I don’t have the vote but I have an opinion.
Had I known there was even going to be an SNP government bringing with it the prospect of a referendum I would never have left.
Just as I have connections to Scotland I am allowed said opinion and living from a distance can sometimes bring a fresh eye or a broader perspective.
Put it this way Cameron doesn’t live in Scotland or have the vote but it doesn’t stop him influencing the debate. I think I am doing it with better intentions that him.

Political crap?? They are attacking our beloved CELTIC!!!!!!

Politics is all opinion would you agree ?

You’re good at picking out the minutiae out of my post but i notice that you didn’t tell me what your beloved Labour party have planned for us on all the benefits we have from the SNP
But I’ll give you the whole night to give me all the positives cos I’m off to bed

WeefratheTim @ 23.19 hrs,
I too share your sentiments however,unfortunately football and politics are now inseparable at this moment.
We are discussing our land deals and the political implications. Even our club has had to issue a statement. ( Correctly IMO )
The OB act which was a political concept designed primarily for football and more specifically for us.
The run up to the independence vote which will have massive implications for society but also for Celtic. IMO we cannot even begin to plan our future ( Different league, etc ) until we have a decision one way or the other.
It would truly be great to discuss only footballing issues, but political interference & implications are currently inter-twined.
So unfortunately c’est la vie and it will probably continue through 2014.
HH, always in Celtic.
