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.

I don’t suppose you know anything about said app?
ANNOAN -Henke came off the bench to win the Big Cup for Barca, no question.
The bhoy could /can? play; I’m not doubting that. I’m trying to preserve the term ‘World Class’ to those who deserve it.
Mohammed Ali was world heavyweight champion.
The records also show that Frank Bruno was world heavyweight champion.
Only one of them was World class, though.

Graham Hunter, a Barca based scottish jurno has been quite vocal here about the FFP thing, he is convinced that uefa will give in to the big clubs, he also has mentioned Celtic on quite a few ocassions.
We have everything going for us, support, stadium, solvency, all we need is a TV deal, and I believe it will come sooner rther than later.

Perhaps STV should be advised that there go to guy is as much of a Hun bigot as the rest
Got told today off a good source after the Huns got told they were going to the 3rd division. Celtic ticket office got very quiet.

Marakesh,
cheers for your top 11, good teasm but I expect they could be beaten :o)
personally I dont have a world 11, I dont think its as simple as you and dbbia define, as you say most positions have a number of contenders, even being subjective some positions require the toss of a coin, innit geez

Everytime I pick up the ole melting iPad we’re linked with another player who’s permanently injured.

Seem to be pulling in players from other sports
Tindall, Daly …even ole Danny Fox

Agree and accept that. I still think Henk after he was 27. Was world class. He was under rated because he stayed with us. He also performed well for Sweden.
If the calibre has to be a Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona, Pele, Cruyff then probably only Bobby Murdoch and on the bench if that.

You can put your money on that. Platini is a phoney. He wants to be FIFA President and couldn’t give a monkeys about the ‘wee’ clubs. He knows where his breads buttered
A great player. A total coward of a UEFA President
BSR- Craig Beattie changed his mind?
Ah – the ole Gazebo out of the river routine is it?
Due to the climate extremes I’ve rescued more from the Clyde than ole Geoge Parsonage.

Aye hats off to the Rangerstaxcase. Would love to tell him myself but no private eye readers on RTC
Capn Bob salutes you RTC guy.

SevCo + Beattie can’t agree on wages
SevCo want to pay him a lower basic if he is injured (which is a cert)
DBBIA
Thanks, – think I’ll give it a miss, though they’re usually jakes on a plane.

BSR -the Grace Darling of CQN.
I expect it’s just pure bigotry that explains why in all this discussion of ‘World Class’ players the name of Fleck, John has not cropped up.
hunskelper
There would be no Celtic players in my second or third World elevens.Players like Zidane Van Basten Zico Mathaeus Beckenbauer Puskas and Garrincha would be close. In fact I’ll swap Passarella for The Kaiser in my original team.

Uefa capitulating can only be to our benefit, the big clubs will dictate, and they want a saturday euro league, we will get an invite for sure, probably to the second tier, but it will happen.
Sometimes spineless suits can be usefull :>)))

I bought my season book the Sat after they were told they had been given permission to play in Div 3.
When I went into the ticket office it was quiet, with about 2 – 3 in front of me. By the time I left there was a fair queue.

Bobby Murdochs Ankle ..If your in town of Milford i would say the Hideaway Bar will be showing match and handier if your having a few scoops ..Village Inn is good option as well but you’ll have to drive down to Kerrykeel so not as many scoops :( sorry just in door and looking back on posts ..HH

How are those bangers going to afford all these £5k per week wages they are offering
Not to mention the sky high wages for their SPL players
If someone is subbing them …why ?
DBBIA,
I would agree with your choices as truly world class, of those I have seen.I believe George Connolly had the ability to be the best of all those I have seen. Of the rest, Kenny comes closest imo.
Johnny Doyle
That’s an idea although their all franchises n only interested in selling you new deals instead of helping you!
Cheers anyhow bud.
Brian Quinn can surely detect how serious they are. That coupled with KHR statement today should imho attract Alan Thomson to speak with ECA about the hun files. He would get to the heart of the matter quickly. He would also get KHR or Platini. The door to KHR is that EBT beneficiary is Bayerns Sport director Nerlinger. I have been trying for weeks but keep getting fobbed of.

I was in the ticket office yesterday …there’s not a lot of season tickets left in most parts of the ground
The restricted view ticket areas have a few available
Glassaghwho,
Maybe a better option as I am on holiday, cheers.
If any cqn’ers about Milford give me a shout.

Parkheadcumsalford -I think you’re right about George, now sadly we’ll never know.
I think Bobby Charlton was world class, also Best and Eusebio.
But as you know everything gets hyped up these days, we’ve to believe that the EPL is the best League in the world, when it patently isn’t.
