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.

Are you marking answers or moon-howling?
My guess is that his bosses felt the soul deserved to be compensated handsomely for his self-sacrifice last year when he decided not to take up the share option offer he’d been sitting on for a few years.
I believe he could have taken about 720k Ordinary Shares at a cost of 47p each. The selling price of these wpuld have been mid-70pish, leaving him c28p a share up – c£200k.
Heroic on his part? No, I think he should have led from the front – bought the shares and retained them as a statement of confidence in our club.

Inspired by Romanian workmates, I watched some great goals from Hagi today. What I would have given to see him in the Hoops alongside my centenary favourite Paul McStay.
Watch the goals on Youtube. Hagi was el bonkers.

The Caribbean juice must be good!
KPIs is what you mean. Read through the annual report earlier today and noted that Pistol Pete was entitled to max of 60% bonus (circa £300k), but was awarded 80% by the remuneration committee. Obviously doing a first class job in their eyes in selling our best players. It pays you know!
Celtic Plc: paying the rich more, whilst the poorer feed off the scraps left from the top table banquet. #lIvegotagreativingwage

I was Stevie O’Neil’s chauffeur on occasion. Drove him up to your house in Bearsden once.
I remember the Lisbon lions were formed because Half the Uni committee got voted out. Joe dunn came in ( I became treasurer ) and half the committee went off in a huff to form Lisbon lions csc

I’ll stick with KDI’s – Key Deliverable Indicators, for any reward at board level
As opposed to the easier achievable
KPI’s – Key Performance Indicators, for staff reporting through the board ?
Will come up with 5 later , but no 1 is
1) provide team to Achieve last 16 of Champions League – 40% (reduced from 50% as other 4 will be split more effectively )

Yours and sydneytims pass:)
Celtic supporters are being hoodwinked in the standard greedy modern business model under the auspices of supporter loyalty
But times are changing.
Phase transitioning even.
For example for the first time in my life I will never support the Labour Party again.
The next time Celtic play Rangers will be the last time I pay attention to football and my love of Celtic.
The 55% :) of celtic supporters that are wankers are welcome to that vile filth.
I however will be fishing or something
I cannae praise the Beaumont Hannant album that I have highly enough, especially coming from an era when Dance/Rave was the defining music of the generation.
It is very listenable today, probably more so as he slowed down the tempo compared to many.
It is pure quality stuff, imo.
Most of the album is at this link.
Respect to Colin…..
