The existence of the Premier League International Cup, a tournament for under-21s, which the FA Premier League launched this is a fascinating development. It’s a toe in the water for the Premier League who are running a multi-nation tournament out-with the auspices of Uefa. A consequence of excluding the European governing body is that all games must be played in the territory of England and Wales, despite Celtic and seven others of the 16 teams residing outside that region.
Uefa retain exclusive rights to hold tournaments across multiple territories, although this definition accommodates the existence of the Welsh FA and Welsh teams participation in competitions run by the English FA.
The Premier League has a broken business model which they have been unable to resolve for a decade of more, as they hae studiously avoided growth in their key TV revenue stream stalling. When it does, innovative solutions will be required.
As far as Celtic are concerned, I’m delighted we’re there. In the absence of NextGen this will be a valuable addition to the youth players’ development this season.
Foundation News:
I’m up for the Zip Slide from the top of the Jock Stein Stand to pitch level in front of the Lisbon Lions’. Never done anything as ridiculous in my life but it’s a one-off opportunity for a fee of £30 plus a commitment to raise £125 for the Foundation.
Pile in here, if you’re brave enough for the Celtic Park pitch…………
Not had more than a glance at the annual report yet. Statements dated 12 September? Hmmm.

If it’s not too early, I would appreciate being added to the list for signed copies of this book from two of our living legends, please.
Take care mctall
i can trace my family history back to 1780 and almost all the male members of my family were masons, my great grandfather, my grandfather, my father, all my uncles, my brother, most of my cousins, hand on heart, absolute truth.

Just checked the SFA website to discover that tickets for the upcoming Scotland-England match were £50 and £60 each, albeit with concessions at £20. Hope Celtic are getting a fair chunk of that, will help pay Big Pete’s bonus. Tickets for the Ireland game a few days earlier are cheaper mind you, for a far more important match. Good publicity for Celtic Park it has to be said.

I hope you don’t mind me posting an Amnesty petition here.
Brishna is a 10-year old girl from Kunduz province in Afghanistan who was raped by a local mullah in May 2014.
She is at risk of an “honour” killing by family and community members for “bringing shame” on her family.
Despite male relatives threatening to “kill her and dump her in the river” local police removed her from the shelter and returned her to her family – despite the risk to her life.
You can take action now to demand the Afghan authorities prevent the ‘honour’ killing of Brishna by signing the petition linked below

Its funny back in Cork our masons didn’t have any Club, obviously they paid their sub to The Bricklayers Union, but apart from that only had an annual outing once a year, when they got a bus to Youghal and all got pished. My great grandfather, was recognised as one of the top Stone Masons in Cork and worked on the Cork City Hall. I was one of the first male members of the family in over 200 years (probably a lot longer but we could only go back to 1790) whose occupation was not a mason. I can and have laid a few blocks in my time but didn’t earn my living at it.

Stay safe buddy

I lost my beloved dad just over a year ago. I didn’t realise on Saturday as the three of us spent a great afternoon together, that we had lost our fathers at similar time.
May God bless that trio.

Four years and counting. Not one brown bean given to Celtic by me. Not one penny given to a Celtic charity. I am more reassured by my stance with every financial report.
Can anyone tell me two things
1) Why the need to keep PL´s recompense under the 6 figure mark ?
2) what does “year having taken account of the scale of incremental value delivered for the benefit of the Company through fulfilment of the objectives set for him.” mean exactly ?

Cheers voguepunter
