Our man on the inside, Charlie Green, seems to have upset a few people over the weekend. Charlie was playing to the gallery with his “bigotry” comment; it is not credible that the 35 clubs who voted against providing Sevco access to an elevated league are demographic significantly different from those of Rangers (1872/3). Although, there is a good chance that each of those 35 clubs will have a more mixed profile than the former club.
Green is still fending off interest from people with far greater pull with the Rangers (1872/3) support than he has (genuinely hope he succeeds here). He needs to sell tens of thousands of tickets to prevent his new club slipping into the hands of one of the other consortiums still trying to buy a piece of the action. I always caution Celtic from playing to the gallery, it delivers short term populism but is surely the alternative to a strategic plan. I am sure several clubs will express their alarm at these comments to the SFA.
Unfortunately, since the SFA failed to take action on either of Ally McCoist’s earlier inflammatory outbursts so they can expect more of the same from Green and others.
Attempts are being made to convince thousands of people a bigoted bogeyman has been out to get them. 99% of the target population will do no more than complain loudly but it’s the unpredictable >1% who exist in every community we should be concerned about.
To the best of my knowledge no Scottish club has ever accused others of bigotry, not even during ‘that’ 80 year period. If this is the new acceptable standard, the SFA are welcome to it, but it will be better for all if we go elsewhere to play our football. Our game has been potent for a century but it has now become dangerously unstable.
Let us go now, before this is whipped up any more. Anyone wanting to hold Scottish football together in its current form has a lot of explaining to do.

If Charlie Mulgrew had, had an Inter shirt on ,on Saturday we would have been praising him to the heavens.
He put in performance that Materazzi or Maldini would have been proud of.
The big man is coolness personified.
Mr Strachan got it very wrong where Muldini was concerned.
Charlie is World Class.

Don’t be so melodramatic. It was said in jest and apologies for any offence cause.
I am merely suggesting that if the phone ins annoy so much, switch off. When has SSB had any agenda other than the one it currently airs? Don’t be surprised.

From what I have heard, and it may be way off the mark, the only person to blame for Charlie not making it first time around was Charlie himself.
Gordon Dalziel criticising supporters for voting the cheats out,then not buying season tickets to support their teams,then he is begging Motherwell for a freebie for tomorrow nights game,hypocrite.

Cha Mul Grew is not ‘world class’; if he was he wouldn’t be at Celtic.
What he needs to be this year is solid and dependable, especially if [D.V] we get a decent run in Europe.

I have nothing but disdain for anyone who listens to a MSM Phone In. You deserve the subsequent high blood pressure.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I can assure you my blood pressure would be higher if I had to watch Emmerdale or Corrie :0)
it is clear marketing: ‘your club needs you’ has helped to shift season tickets throughout scotland so it makes sense for celtic just like aberdeen, motherwell and hearts etc… to follow this phrase , if it gets an extra 1000 through the gate every week then thats great work. problem is idiots like keevins will use that againt the clubs, they ignore the fact we are in a double dip resession and people are losing their jobs right, left and centre and say everything that is wrong with scottish football is all down to rangers not playing in the spl, stupid, stupid hun

I thought it was just huns that didn’t like that word? Oh wait, no. It’s not that they don’t like it, they are exempt from using it.
Davidopoulos on 30 July, 2012 at 19:24
I just wait in hope that some smart punters (tim preferred) come on and runs rings round Kevins.Then again he would probally cut them off.

Why can`t Celtic have a world class player? By world class, I suppose I mean capable of playing in a top class team. You believe Celtic players are incapable of that?

A bit worried seeing PL with Doncaster today,hope we have a Plan B here.Guilt by association of a buffoon who can’t do his job properly, as too busy talking down Scottish Football and trying to save the huns.
show just starting now

Right, that’s it we need a designated CQNer to listen to SSB for such events and to report back. Then no one else needs to get upset. Well volunteered mate ;)
Actually, I couldn’t ask that of a fellow Tim. We’ll need to outsource….

Peter Lawwell won’t be tagging along for anyone’s benefit other than Celtic. And of course to keep an eye on Donkey.
Any word on Stokes and Commons?
If you listen to SSB, Keevins et al have won. Its as simple as that. Regardless if you think somebody has made him look foolish on air, he is the one laughing when the show finishes
The less people tune in, the less Clyde can charge for advertising space during breaks etc
Without the income, the show would be cancelled
Don’t tune in and the show will wither and die
gazebos suggested on SSB
Jungle Jim- Celtic have had world class players- D.F Mcgrain was the last [IMHO];I think it’s harder in the current financial climate.
Take the #9 Enigma -on his day he’s got everything- pace, strength, skill – areal handful. If he wasn’t so enigmatic would he be at Celtic? I don’t think so.
Look at Izaguirre- he gets back to where he was in his first season, especially on a bigger stage then the SPL, is he going to stay? He’ll be sold if the money is there.
So for various reasons I can’t see Celtic having a world class player, and more importantly, keeping him.
I’m also quite strict in the defintion of ‘world class’ I use ;/)
EDB-I suppose it will rip the huns’ knitting mate, but this guy should be bagged IMO.
A Celtic show for Celtic supporters.

Ole RTC bhoy calling it a day- off to take his well-earned rest.
Further evidence that if you want to make real change in this World, no matter how small, then usually all it takes is for just one person to give a toss.
Yes. A huge thanks to RTC.

Aye, good to listen to real Celtic supporters.
