Delighted and surprised of what I hear of the value of our new shirt sponsor, Dafabet, who become main sponsor, with their names on the front of the shirts, for the next four seasons. This is the best commercial deal every written in Scottish football. Pretty much all revenue channels have been inching south for years, so being able to deliver a sponsorship deal well ahead of anything we’ve achieved before is hopefully a sign things are turning.
Bringing commercial deals like this into the club is the equivalent of what Brian Quinn once called ‘free money’. It’s total margin, without any fulfilment cost, and doesn’t rely on the fans putting their hands in their pockets.
More free money
Offering Magners the shoulder position on the jersey is a ‘more free money’ opportunity. The Irish cider makers are also here for the next four seasons, extending their stay on the shirts to seven years. I’d never considered a back of the shirt sponsor, but it’s clearly a prime slot for TV coverage. And it also doesn’t rely on fans putting their hands in their pockets.
Magners ‘get’ Celtic. They understand what we’re about and our social mission. Impressively so, for such a large organisation. Really pleased they remain in place.

I was actually at eden mill today. I was meant to be on the tour yesterday.
Seems to me to became business on the up and up.
And the gin is nice. No doubt about it
Watch how well drilled the Bayern Munich ball boys are,a replacement ball on as soon as it leaves the pitch
Bada.
Watch how different they will be if Bayern go ahead in the tie
On this day 100 years ago, Thomas Clarke, Thomas McDonagh & Padraigh Pearse were executed for their part in the 1916 Resurrection.
There names we will keep where The Fenians sleep, ‘neath The Shades of the Foggy Dew.
Bada,
You should speak to some of the guys that sit beside me on that one, I know it’s petty but it drives me mad at CP, sometimes it takes forever and a day to get the ball back.

I don’t know what our Board’s intentions are in the matter of Res 12 – which, as a mere small shareholder, I would not expect to be totally “in the loop” but, much, much more importantly, the Res12 bhoys, at least one of whom has suffered internet threats do not seem to know if, or when, the Board will take any action.
=======================
Things are moving along nicely.
Relax.
I am.

We haven’t met but hope to remedy that. Thank you for your kind words.
Really good commentator on the Athletico game on BT TV ….also, very good game…

JJ website is written by a Rangers fan who dislikes Dave King and attempts to confirm gullible Celtic fans into believing that everything is pre-ordained for the establishment Govan outfit to wipe the floor with us , can be entertaining but riddled with factual inaccuracies , pure speculation and wishful thinking
New manager no idea
=============================================================
Absolutely agree with your view on JJ, but it’s all about entertainment for me.
For me, JJ is a newbie compared to our very own KevJungle and TD67; they are both must-reads for me every day, and I mean that most sincerely, Fholks. :-)
HH to all
SA-they would do Centre Court proud
Timreaper-agree mate very frustrating HH

can you grt HERALD web site up its got photo of last GOVAN FERRY trip. YRKHILL TO GOVAN .always wondered why it was govan ferry .is that what people from govan called it.
Goal Bayern
1-1 on aggregate.
Amazing how well drilled defensively Atletico are and certainly not the mind numbing man with no surname had.
It will be interesting to see how Athlético’s game plan changes now.

Me and Wee BGFC will be there no matter what – his head would explode otherwise!
Nevertheless, I do take some comfort from Auldheid’s comments (and Winning Captain’s incessant hints).

Penalty Bayern. Great spot by ref.
Great decision
Saved!

Hope you’re right, sir …… Sick to the back teeth with all the lies / corruption…

Thank you for comforting post. The apparent inactivity was somewhat disconcerting but the thought that you and the other bhoys were being hung out to dry was what was really driving up my blood pressure.
But, from your post ai deduce that you are prepared to wait, so must I and cool my jets.
Maximum respect to you, BRTH, Canamalar and Morrisey.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. God bless and HH.
Big team decision,justice done.

I appreciate the hard work these guys put in – but it’s been on the go for a long time now – there has to be a limit
Auldheid-thanks,keep fighting the good fight HH
Nye Bev…
Stonewaller for me albeit that it’s the type of infringement that ref’s rarely penalise.

How was that not a penalty mate? Remember Juve at CP a couple of years ago? HH

Glad you decided to share your news, leftcliclicktic text me at weekend when I was in Dublin to let me know you had. I had informed him as requested.
I know from our chat you are determined and you have faith.
Take it easy mate and keep in touch.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

Yup – I went off on a rage when we had the recent emergency call to action around the ‘time limit’. Lost it entirely, particularly for the reasons you and AN TEACH SOLAIS have mentioned – that good Tims seemed to be getting strung along.
As it happens, I think a lot us have been strung along to a greater or lesser extent by many different people and groups in this whole debacle.
Now just keeping my impatience in check, and my fingers crossed.

JOBO…….it wis 42 year’s ago let it go:)
!!BADA BING!!……read my post to JOBO:)
Nye – naw!
I’m going to post THAT video clip again at half time ;-)
Come on Bayern! Will never forget 1974
Nor forgive
NB- nothing to do with ’74, the more penalties in high profile games for that ,will help get rid of it IMO HH
Might even have time to watch this twice during the break!
And the reason I’m supporting Bayern tonight ;-)

Big Georges Fan Club – Hail, Hail, Wee Oscar on 3rd May 2016 8:25 pm
Strung along is exactly my feelings right now
I have been trying to keep up to date but progress is painfully slow
The time is fast approaching for me and my family to make the big decision on renewal
