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.

Very Well Said.
Celtic have been run fantastically well since Fergus brought us back from the brink, these schemers have been in the Boards sights for a lot longer than just a couple of years.
The beauty of it all, they are desperate to drag Celtic into a public slanging match, any sort of slanging match (these hun monkeys are in control of the press) but we are not interested in that and we are battering them all over the place where it really matters.
A massive ThumbsUp to Ross County, Celtic were delighted when they were promoted, for going out of their way to help others.

Take a bow my friend
A Son of Dan, is that the same Vaughan that was flinging himself about at Parkhead for Norwich?
I really hope we do not sign Vaughan
Our old target Ramis looks to be joining west ham
Petec …….SPOT ON……I’ve been beating the drum for some time now, in respect of Celtic not reacting to them……we have dignity, class and integrity, as have the other Scottish teams currently being called bigots by green ….it’s true what they say ……. ‘If you stay too long in the company of devils, you become one’ …….. The SFA need to sort this out…meanwhile, we will enjoy the game on Wednesday…..and REALLY enjoy the bhunless SPL …
TAKE A BOW, CELTIC BOARD….YOU HAVE HANDLED THIS SITUATION IN AN EXEMPLARY MANNER ……..( don’t disturb the enemy when they are doing a great job of destroying themselves……they have now reached the point of no return…..thanks to bawheid etc)
“Some of it has been driven by bigotry, some of its been driven by jealousy and some of its been driven by all the wrong motives”
The bigotry comment is clearly aimed towards Celtic. Even Green cannot possibly think that the Raith Rovers’ and Clyde’s of this footballing world have bigotry at the root of their decision. It is a comment aimed directly at Celtic. Someone should ask him directly, “which clubs do you think had bigotry at the heart of their decision to vote against you?”. I do believe this guy is daft enough to give an answer.
He desperately needs to get the sevco follow followers to buy season books or his season will be over before it starts due to lack of funding. If the reported ST sales levels are accurate, this guy aint gonna have 2 bob in a months time. That and that reason alone has him now try to ingratiate himself to the gullible bears. Have a look on FF and you shall see why I say gullible.
There has been a long line now of current and ex huns stirring things up with inflammatory comments. Gough, Jardine, Hateley, McCoist, Green to name just a few. There have been more. Whilst the SFA may not be able to do much about the ex huns, certainly something needs to be done about McCoist and Green.
How long before one of them incites serious social unrest? The latest tactical moves re ensuring no titles are stripped has become farcical. In any walk of life an investigation would be planned, executed and action taken against guilty parties. Why demand that no titles are stripped before any investigation? Again, to ingratiate themselves to the currants.
Green clapping as the fans verbally abused Regan on Sunday? I’m sorry but that really is the lowest this guy could sink, and again, could be the catalyst for some regrettable incidents concerning Mr Regan and / or his family. Once again, done with a view to saying “look at me, I am one of you”.
You know what, I believe he is one of them. He has fitted in very nicely to their deplorable ways.
Someone needs to do something soon very soon, before this whole sorry mess becomes something worse, much worse, than a liquidation process.
This club deserves to die completely, and anyone , hun, ex hun, or otherwise, who cannot see that, needs help.

Wigan are looking likely to beat West Ham to the signature of Ramis
Can anybody tell me what tv channels will be showing Wednesday’s match,and our first league game on Saturday?
Thanks.

The quality of streams is down mainly to your ISP.
I have broadband and the streams are excellent, with no buffering.
Green has seen how popular Sally is with the hordes and like a drunk, embarrassing uncle at a wedding, he is stumbling about the dance floor courting popularity.
Boorish fool.

the money you pay for it will go to a very worthwhile cause, one close to your heart I’m sure…..

A quick check on Virgin is showing Aberdeen on Sky Sports 2 at 12:45 but nothing for the Helsinki game
I cant wait for Wednesday and Saturday. Let them get their rocks off to the draw of the next round of the Ramsdens Cup and playing East Fife at ibroke on Sunday.

Neil Lennon has posted on FB that Wednesday’s game isn’t being televised.

I’m using a dongle at the moment , probably wouldnt get the best coverage.
If Green and MadMoist were to be adjudged of inciting social unrest,then this could be construed as ‘terrorism’ by the paranoid lot in Westminster who could then have a word with the even more paranoid gang in The Ooo Ess Aaa and we could perhaps witness (maybe not witness,because it would all be done ‘black bag’ style) the crazy loons being rendered to Gitmo and get a proper sorting à la mode…….they should beware of what they utter, as it could come back to haunt them.
This is all japery and jest,because what else can you do in the face of such blatant buffoonery except laugh it to death? They are deserving of comtempt and mockery because they are wholly unrepentant and still full of evil intent.
They absolutely require satirical ripping to shreds until they can take no more and disintegrate under the endless onslaught on their antiquated bigotry.
Green was meeting the SPL & SFA at 8:45 this morning over the ‘formality’ of getting their full license granted.
Meeting must be running overdue for tea and biscuits…

Thank you. Too bad; I hope everyone who can get to Celtic Park really enjoys it and there are plenty of updates on here for the rest of us!

Some positive news from Green yesterday was that he wants to keep Sally for 25yrs, brilliant.

25 years in the Big Hoose ….. that sounds about right.

Again,thank you. I’ll have to find a pub down here that’ll show it,or pray that the local ad hoc CSC is up and running,because Sky/ESPN is off the agenda in our home this season.

Anyone got a hun next to them anxiously looking at the clock and with some perspiration on their forehead as they await the Ramsdens Cup draw.
It is good the fans of these wee diddy teams have something to look forward to…
The Token Tim- I didn’t get an email from DougC? – but been on to Eurochamps, will advise ASAP.
Many Thanks!

Are Sky covering the Ramsdens Cup draw?

Just seen the BBC news covering the bigotry comments. They only played the audio coverage of it. Also no mention of the sectarian comments by fans, smoke bombs or fan climbing the floodlights. Impartial coverage? I think not.
Does it make a discernible difference in the UK if you get the ‘premium’ service on Celtic TV?
Friend of mine looking for help
He’s off to Thailand before coming out my direction in Australia , he was wondering where the Thai tims are based in Thailand and if you can visit them etc .
Told him Iv never heard or read of anyone doing it but I would ask here .
Cheers

1. They haven’t reached the point of no return.
2. I don’t think the Celtic board would ever want them to reach the point of no return.

I’m assuming he means within the UK. I imagine that if nowhere else, it’ll be broadcast in Finland, so if you don’t mind dodgy internet streams then you might still get lucky.

Did Celtic’s comment come in the form of a statement or was it in response to a question?
http://inyourfacejournalism.blogspot.co.uk/#!/2012/07/meet-sevco-director-imran-ahmed.html
ht
it was a response to the BBC.
Tony Hamilton tweeted to confirm.
