If you’re going to stage a protest it’s better to make sure that it registers where it counts. Turning up at a Sports Direct till with a pile of tracksuits, then only offering £1 for their purchase, might echo the transaction Mike Ashley completed for the naming rights of Ibrox, but if the tycoon even gets to hear about the so-called flashmob protest he’s likely to pity the forsaken attempt to undermine him.
Ashley has invested around a couple of million in Newco Rangers but it’s pin money for him, which he can easily afford to gamble with. He is also not afflicted with any emotional attachment to Newco, or pretty much anything else, it seems. In short, this is a guy ‘Rangers’ fans can’t lay a glove on. They would be far better to figure this out and start to deal with the reality than provoke an unwelcome response.
Neither Ashley nor the Easdale brothers strike me as people who will be easily cowed or bullied into forgoing the rights they have purchased, while others, including thousands of fans, kept their hands in their pockets. The many genuine fans who are distraught at the humiliating mess Newco has become have been led up the garden path by would-be sages.
Africa
The world is paying a little more attention than usual to the many problems in Africa at the moment but I heard one authoritative voice last week suggest that ebloa is only around the third or fourth most severe problem the continent faces.
But, things are getting better in large swathes of the continent, thanks to improving governance in some areas, better infrastructure, more widely available healthcare, and more children, especially girls, given access to education.
20 people from Celtic Foundation are in Malawi building classrooms and toilets at the moment, while CQN’ers built three school kitchens there this year (more on the soon), but sometimes these many parallel developments conflict.
One such occasion is the John Bande Foundation School in Blantyre, Malawi, which through Mary’s Meals is supported by the Noreen Davies Hikers & Bikers, a group of people from Lanarkshire and Glasgow. The Hikers and Bikers support a feeding programme at the school, which makes it possible for kids to attempt the school, instead of working for food. It’s a mature project but the recent building of a motorway right on the edge of the school property has made the building dangerous; learning and feeding is no longer possible.
The Noreen Davies people are raising money to erect three new buildings. You can read more of the story here, with pictures of the school and road. If you can give them a £1 or two, do so here.

He’d be banned for life in football if he did that.The second one was the worse as the guy was already knocked out.
The gasps from the crowd on the replay tell you all.

Denayer replacing Biton as defensive mid and Guidetti replacing big Sceptic.
Hear what your saying about loanees but the way our policy is at the minute all the players are on loan it’s just a question of for 1or 3 years.

I wish Neil all the best and hope he has success in England.
He will always be a hero of mine.
I know that the English view our game poorly but I’m really Disapointed it’s taken so long for Neil to get a job.
Any successful Celtic Manager should be worthy of consideration for top English jobs.
This has dealt our top position a blow.
Bolton?
My goodness
Good luck to Neil and the Bhoys
Good luck to hoopslegend Neil Lennon at Bolton.
There will likely be no shortage of fools and horses at the ole Trotters.

Owen Coyle’s gran has ‘nothing whatever’ to say about the news from Bolton.
Johan Mjallby, Lennon’s number two in Glasgow, also joins the Trotters as assistant manager with Garry Parker, who also served at Celtic Park, arriving as first team coach.
So much for big Dolph looking for a job in Sweden……IMHO that they were mutually consented after getting pumped in Europe….hence wee Lenny trying tae pad his CV with clean sheets and unbeaten runs.

16 roads, was this you in the Gallowgate? ;-)
Afternoon all. Lovely day down here. Wall to wall sunshine.
Don’t know if anyone else has read the Scotland on Sunday piece by Andrew Smith dotting the “i”s and crossing the “t”s of the Livingstone programme writer last week. He does not mince his words.
Mind you, it wasn’t all good, imo. He has a cheap shot at our manager too. Still, he has been brave enough to tell the truth. I wonder if that bastion of truth, the Sunday Herald, would dare to do the same.

Fail to see the problem with that, I always remember licking the bowl as a kid :-)

Lenny”s Celtic got pumped by the cream of Europe. Ronny Celtic pumped pish.
Has Ronny been mutually consented yet ?
HH
Pumped by pish
Tontine Tim-
Johan Mjallby has already said that the management team left of their own volition. He says they knew that Celtic would not be investing much money in the team in summer 2014, therefore reaching the Champions League would be a struggle and that failure to qualify would have damaged the management`s team`s reputation. Therefore it was a straightforward voluntary decision for them to leave.

Glad you got home safely, considering you were in some state when you left.
You were sober!!!
It was my great pleasure to meet another CQN Legend.
And yet, not one of the, ahem…investigative Internet Bampots of the higher level can out or, lay bare the identity of the ‘rat’ or, number of ‘rats’ that created the smell which made Roy Keane run a mile…..from the Celtic managers job?
A lot of folk say that, we dodged a bullet by not getting RK as he had been a not too clever manager previously?
Does a clever manager parade up and down the pitch in his nickers?
What type of manager was Neil before he got the gig?
None – thats what.
There is a smell which made RK run away from the manager job, of that here’s no doubt.
The thing is – that smell is being condoned – by the very folk who are being an injured party in all of this ie: YOU!
So, what is causing the smell?
DD?
PL?
The ‘bored’?
The manager?
The scouts?
The players?
The SMSM?
The fans?
Apathy?
All of the above?
What?
Maybe when the died(LOL) huns come back and lord-it over us, maybe then…Celtic’s sheep-supporters will find a back-bone and deal with this, eh?
Until then…………..
Bye zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Good luck to Neil a Lennon at Bolton.
Presumably that means he is now off the payroll:-)
philbhoy- the pleasure was 110% mutual.
I would have stayed longer, but I thought the more bhoys I meet the guiltier I’ll feel about scrollin’ on past ;/)
It was a grand day out, next time I’ll try and break the 4 o’clock watershed
I wish Lenny well and hope he is successful.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
If I ever find out that Roy Keane is a relation of mine I won’t tell a soul.
And that’s a promise.
DBBIA
I wasn’t far behind you. Home about 7.
Learned something useful when I got home.
Don’t pour yourself a whisky in the dark!
Talk about a large one!
Seeing Neil sign on at Bolton is just a heartbreaker for me. Wish he had stayed and wish he was wanted
Sad day
pintaguinness
You take things too seriously mate.
People change jobs all the time for good or bad reasons.
I’m sure if things don’t work out for Neilly at Boolton, he will be able to retire, very young and very rich.
I envy him.

*Aye an AC team that failed to qualify for Europe his season and an Ajax side that tied with a Cypriot one while we were defeating Zagreb….sour cream more like it….Neil Lennon is the luckiest Celtic manager ever….he’ll get found out at Bolton.
Good luck to Neil I think he is going to need it in that job.
