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.

Good morning , my Mhan …… See you at the next home game
One wee final point – Celtic are rank p#sh just now and, I wouldn’t bet them to beat an egg.
So, as apathy has already enveloped the club, oh and the apathy cake was given a great big icing with the news of PL’s latest windfall, were was I?……yeah, as were p#sh just now and I mean real p#sh…I predict that another f#ck-up at Dingwall will slice another 10k off the already half empty stadium.
P.S. Don’t say yeez huvny been telt ‘every’ day for the last 5 years, bye.
Hopefully with Lustig & Matthews back tomorrow we can ‘rest’ Ambrose & Izaguirre.
Morning all.
I see Carl Froch has had a tram named after him in Nottingham.
That’s fame for ye!
HH!!
Mullet and co 2 @ 22:40 and something similar again this morning.
” the prices we will get charged when Rangers return”
Deid, so won’t be returning anywhere.
If you mean Sevco, they can’t return to the top division either, as they’ve never played in it.
Can’t be repeated enough while the Big Lie still breathes.
I see the Hugh Keevins blow up doll is get a right good workout this morning…
A question for the board of Celtic PLC.
I read with interest that in the interests of efficiency and hitting certain mathematical figures ( similar to profits and dividends really ) that when consuming water we could all apparently be more efficient.
For example by peeing in the shower, you can save about 765 gallons of water every 6 months.
Economically this is clearly an efficient practice to follow.
So here is my question:
Are the board members of Celtic PLC happy to pee on their own feet every morning in the name of efficiency?
The sound in the background is the flushing of my toilet.
Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan
Talking Colin Nish…
Burstin’ for a shower.
Later bhoys and ghirls…
For example by peeing in the shower, you can save about 765 gallons of water every 6 months.
————-
and by peeing up the way in the shower you can save even more, could even get rid of the thing altogether
though trying to explain why your water bills are so low might be a tricky conversation!
Why does Kev J always say “Aff oot” or “Canny be bothered anymair” then makes multiple posts thereafter ?
Amazing

What have you been drinking ? …. Colin Nish..? …..hahahaha
My auld man’s definition of a snob is someone who gets out of the bath to have a pee.

Folks anyone know of any Celtic friendly bars in Marbella for the game this weekend?
Looked up celtic bars worldwide but couldn’t spot anything for Marbella.
Thanks in advance.
Hail! Hail!
67Heaven I’m afraid you won,t see me for some time,got scunnered with the whole “matchday experience” and various other aspects about the club so have decided to give it a miss temporarily maybe permanently or just the odd match. Unfortuneately I don’t appear to be alone with this stance. Hail Hail Hebcelt
67heaven thanks
Beatbhoy — apt moniker
BRTH
More savings! Yay!
There will be no need for toilets at Parkhead next season …..Or maybe starting the season after. You will be able to piss anywhere as it will probably stink of hun shit anyway.
67Heaven.
Enjoyed that bit of music.
Morning CQN
I hope you don’t mind me bumping this petition again.
Please share on twitter and facebook etc,
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

Louie,
I was saying to Malorbhoy the other week that you had been noticeable by your absence.
I hope you are well.
I will be speaking to Raymond from London later today and he was asking after you last week.

Margaret McGill
So sorry, Maggie doll!
Didn’t mean to rub you up the wrong way!
Let me take you out for a slap-up meal at your favourite restaurant.

This morning I started on a long(ish) post which yet again opines that a PLC structure is just wrong for Celtic as a club.
There are all sorts of conflicts of interests in a PLC’d Celtic and I started on the analogy of how all sailing boats are different – different designs, different rigs, different hulls, and designed for different types of sailing.
For some the key factor or KPI is speed. For others it is comfort or stability. For others it is how quickly will the boat right itself in the event of it capsizing.
For some boats it is efficiency – to hell with comfort for the passengers – just get the cargo from A to B with the maximum profit.
No aspirational sailing, no thrill in the journey, no riding the waves and the emotion of being on the sea.
Nothing against the crew but a PLC is the wrong boat and produces the wrong kind of journey and always will.
Morning Timland from a fresh hun free mountain valley.
Many thanks for all the help re my scammin friend.
He put the cash back into my account last night, it was deffo from him, as the vendor was a US bank.
Thanks again bhoys, your help obviously paid off.
HH
THE EXILED TIM
Brilliant stuff,mate. Well done.
Btw,they forwarded two of your mails to them.
Remind me never,even in a dark hour,to fall out with you!
HH
Before heading to work does anyone know if the Charlie Telfer dispute between the then two-year old sevco and Dundee United was ever resolved?
HH
ps will check back later
BRTH isn’t it astonishing how disconnected, alienated and,down right fed up everyone is.
Peters bonus is simply a slap in the face for all of us.
Celtic are a shambles and has lost its purpose.
Our fat cats are purring though as the lap up the cream and wait for their friends across the city to return.
Irreparable damage is being done to the club.
And I’m sorry to say it but, like the board, Paul is sticking his head in the sand and is in utter denial of what is going on.
Sad days indeed.
BARRACH OBAMPOT
It was resolved in favour of Dundee Utd.
The two-year-old threw their toys outa the pram!
TET
Result mate, people power!!
The Exiled Tim –
what happened to all that stormy weather you forecast for the past week or so. A wee bit windy at times but a pleasant dry mid-20 degrees was enjoyed by The Baldies when in Calpe.
Went to Denia too but the Bhoy was nowehere to be seen ;-)
brth
i agree
we are being run like your typical PLC where all the focus seems to be geared towards what gives the CEO the biggest pile of cash – even in failure these people are handsomely rewarded.
but thats not how a football club should be run, especially one which is ingrained in the fabric of its community and supporters
i dont know what the answer is that will still allow us to compete at the level we want
but the club us currently soulless and directionless so someone needs to come up with an answer
TET
The scammers never sent me a reply,the feckers
Well done fella
HH
Jobo, the bad weather hits over the weekend, last night was just a wee warm up.
Neganon2, when results start to turn around many will feel a bit better, that after all is our aim, good results that is.
There is a disconnect at present.
I would argue the disconnect is the Board from Celtic.They aren’t Celtic, we are.
BRTH, what would be a viable alternative? Fan owned? And hiw can we achieve this?
.Off for a quick shower:-)
Ever wondered if he would or will, stumbled across this from a few years back!

BRTH to take your boat analogy a little further Celtic are a huge tanker in stormy waters loosing cargo at an alarming rate and yet far too slow to manoeuvre quickly to pick it up.
