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.

SSN said we put in official move to get James Vaughan on loan from Norwich but Blackburn in for him now.
Hi Paul
Couldn’t agree more. It’s truly time to seek playing fields new.
There must be a dossier about the size of the Ipcress File (and not a lot of people know that) on the garbage that’s been perpetrated here and it’s still growing.
We need a history of everything regarding where we have been, where we are now, what were the contributing factors to why we are where we are and what has transpired as a consequence of that.
The file won’t be complete yet as there are a few acts still to play out, but with any luck they will have come to their conclusion just in time to put icing on the cake.
The Scottish government won’t hold a public enquiry, so we’ll hold our own.
We then take that to FIFA, to UEFA, to the EPL, and plead as strongly as possible to allow us to at least reopen some of the routes out of Scotland previously closed to us.
Worth a shot?

Henk probably still is world class in my opinion

All joking aside….
Quality players often decide when to leave Celtic….
But i’ve never known of ANY player to knock back contract extensions at the likes of Man United & Barcelona.

looking like another pay yer £600+ on yer ST and we’ll fill the team with frees and loanees type of pre season
I’d rather see Tony Watt & James Keatings given a chance this season that sign another striker who will just take up a wage (see Rasmussen, Murphy, Bangura)

Unfortunatly I don’t think we are
I think the energies are directed elsewhere, Paul has mentioned leaving a few times lately, there are other informed people hinting to the same, I still believe we will be gone within 2 years.
There is a lot of talk here about Platinni and the FFP, the big clubs are on a collision course with uefa, Bayern are none too happy, but Bayern are a lone voice.
A saturday euro league is what they are calling for, and if they don’t get it via eufa, they will break away, and hopefully we will be part of it, we have the infrastructure in place, I don’t doubt deals are being done behind closed doors.
There is untold wealth to be had, uefa will capitulate, they are on a hiding to nothing with their FFP.
Kayal 33-Looks like it mate,not impressed.We might try and get a couple of loans in if we get thru this round,which I expect to do.HH.
Judging by some of the comments coming from the HJK camp there seems to be no lack of confidence even a hint of arrogance. The Celtic squad seems to be coming along nicely with match fitness and especially in the last couple of games. Celtic have beaten better sides than the Fins and let’s hope the Scandos confidence is their undoing.
What happened to the Kelvin Wilson transfer I thought he had left the club?
sorry if this has been asked already, but is the helsinki game on wednesday on TV
Beach Volleyball Sky 455 now.
PFAyr -I’ve been on the ole crystal chandelier.
Henrik is the best player we’ve had in the last 20 years, and probably will be for the next 20 as well.
I just don’t think he would have got in the starting XI for a World select. Would he get a game ahead of Thierry Henry and Ronaldo in the years 2001-04 when Henke was atthe peak of his powers?
M express, think I would change Passarella with Scirea, taught Baresi the art of defending.
Just my opion

Anyone wanting to hold Scottish football together in its current form has a lot of explaining to do.
In a court of law perhaps.
Should we ?
Which one ?
HH
Many many thanks to RTC for the sterling efforts in exposing the real story of the former Govan club’s finances and the level of cover up within the Scottish mainstream media.
Along with Phil, Paul McC, P67 and various posters on here, RTC has led an online campaign to bring the truth to people who would previously have swallowed all the old MSM lies.
Thank God we’re no longer reliant on the red tops and radio phone-ins for the inside story on Scottish football.

Vaughan….FFS …. have we learned nothing re signing second rate strikers and hoping they improve …also…Vaughan doesn’t have a great record keeping fit

“There will never be Clyde in The Ole Gazebo”
Perhaps, but as poor old BSR will testify, it’s not so long ago that there was an ole gazebo in the Clyde :¬)
BMA/Marrakesh- John Charles at centre half?

Thanks for the reply but unfortunatum I don’t have a laptop at the moment.
I was looking at an app. called Titanium Back Up which costs nearly a fiver but I don’t want to buy it and it doesn’t do the job and I can’t understand how an app will back up other apps without disappearing itself on a reset?
DBBIA.
Your a hard task master …and , no he wouldn’t have go in ahead of those two
Your construing world class very tightly
I’d rather sign Robert Vaughn
Banning of Clyde from ole Gazebo could tip Kew Heavins over the edge.
Top Corner-Thanks mate,might look Dalkieth way now,cheers.HH

You’ve hit the nail on the head.
What we need is to seek out allies, but more importantly, whatever is being suggested has to be shown to be a money spinner. Would be particularly sweet if we could get some TV channels were interested.
We’ve nothing to lose and everything to gain.

for those that listened to Tommy in Glasgow’s call with Imran Ahmed; what do you make of his claim that the permanent SFA licence award is a fait accompli that will be sorted tomorrow? Bluster? Imran Ahmed stated that the only remaining condition to be met was the SPL share was to pass over to Dundee (on Friday iirc).

He did at Barcelona. Henk for me is one of those players that carried teams. Even Barca in the CL final. I have yet to meet the Barca fan that thought Henri at Barca was as good as Henk and I ask every Barca fan about that Henk is right up there with Murdoch and Dalglish and Jinky imho.

modren Titanium Back Up app is rubbish
DDBIA,
To young to have seen him, but my da said he was a player.

@ChrisGraham76 referring to Celtic as bheasts ………. how can you get someone banned from twitter? This is the respectable face of Sevco… Gawd help us
Henriks class and professionalism lasted until the end of his career unlike Henri.
