The Barton issue: it seems bizarre to suspend a player for four weeks after an incident, more so to extend that by a further week immediately before a clear-the-air meeting, but it’s not.
This has got nothing to do with the player. Whatever he did with a team-mate in the aftermath of our 5-1 win a month ago has nothing to do with his continuing suspension. Nor is the player’s subsequent charge for gambling on football.
I’m pretty sure it’s not even about money, or the player’s lack of ability. This is about the manager and his board. Who authorised his signing in the summer and on what basis was he employed? Warburton has played his hand by passing the issue up to his board. The board can try to impose the player on the manager, again, or they can find the money to make the problem go away.
Or maybe the manager will go instead.

Pretty sure that Higgins was one of a few that highlighted Tommy.

Thanks , mate. I had a vague recollection of that. He must have been low profile.

Yes it looked an awesome game and what a crowd, soccer
is booming here in Oz here’s an extract from the FOOTBALL
FEDERATION VICTORIA newsletter which is sent round all the
clubs.
BOOM… BOOM …BOOM
A massive 13%in registered players meant Victoria led the way
in the last 12 months as football became Australias favourite
sport.
1.19 million australians are playing football
More girls aged 6-13 years old are playing football than any other
sport
Victoria was central to this success with major events like the
international champions cup where 220.000 fans witnessed stars
from Real Madrid, Man City, and AS Roma in Melbourne July 2015.
Must be a good time for an enterprising club like maybe Celtic
opening a wee shoppe or even a stall over here :-))

I Noticed a Few telling their Favourite Jinky Story the Other Week..
One of My Favourites Jinky wasn’t even there.. But He Floored one of the Gers again..【ツ】
When I was a Kid Willie Henderson and my Dad were good Pals..Rangers had Won I think the Scottish Cup and Willie and my Dad drove down to England to buy 2 Afghan Hounds Pups when they brought them to our House they were a few in the House having Celebratory drinks..
Willie was asking My about these 2 massive Pups then told me he would give me His Rangers Top from the Match..
I asked Him if he could get Me Jinky’s Top..?
There and then I became the Black Sheep (In Hooped Wool) of the Family.. 【ツ】

Not making things personal, some posters are what they are, I have met you twice probably for about roughly 30mins at a time, which is heehaw, you sorted Macjay for tickets, you’ve sorted the WBGFC family, you looked after a wee Hamilton fan when nobody else cared, as far as I m concerned you are the type of Celtic fan that represents me !
Good overcomes bad ……..
C keep fighting the good fight there is far more on your side than against you

I’m hoping to go to Ireland in the future to do some family tree stuff .
*I went over tae Enniskillen when I was still in primary, might have been around the time of “when the shades of night came down”, close by anyway. Cannae remember much other than touring churches and oul buildings.
My da’s cousin took me tae the pictures and when GSTQ was played I did what all Scottish weans did and just sat on my seat, next thing I’m having my collar pulled and yanked tae my feet, and that was by my family member, and she was a Republican.
Years later we Mrs TT and I went over, drove fae Dumbarton to Stranraer and then over tae Larne. When we disembarked there was this amazing feeling inside, it felt like I was home.
When we crossed the border at Derry I got out the car and did the papal kissing the ground. We stayed the night in Ballyshannon as my da had family there and then the next morning left for Connemara.
Enroute we stopped at Yeat’s Cottage and then the Marian Shrine at Knock, before we left I said a wee prayer at the gable end of the small parish church of Saint John the Baptist where the apparition of Our Lady, Saint Joseph, and Saint John the Evangelist appeared.
On leaving when I turned the radio on in the car John Collins had just scored in the lion’s den, no saying I did that but as our host would say hmmm. We played a tape of 50 rebel songs all the way tae Clifden.
I’ll never forget the feeling of calmness running through me on that whole trip, a true homecoming.
Gerryfaethebrig,
Haha, you obviously don’t know I am (not I AM) so against the whole nonsense of apotheosis. ;))

I was an idiot last night
In my defence I will probably be an idiot again but hopefully not for a long time, VFR gave a fright this morning when he mentioned me and you like other posters …….
At least we have the old firm game to look forward too :-)

Thanks , pal.
My wife and I arrived in late `79 and spent a few weeks in the ” Gong ‘ where football was called ” wogball .”
The A.N.Z. stadium was absolutely rocking ( my wee daughter danced there at the opening of the Olympics , but it was the first time that I had been there.)
The transport to and from the game was first rate.The trains to Homebush were free from Central station.The dispersal of 60 ,000 punters after the game rapid.
The inground facilities marvellous . Everything from Crispy Cremes to Chips to schooners.
A Celtic shoppe in Melbourne ? .
Mate. Difficult to make that a commercial success.
A wee suggestion.
An Irish pub with a sideline of selling Celtic gear.
No problem with ” commerce ” there.

For about a Year and a Half I did Voluntarily and organised Working Bees at my Wee Ghirls Primary School St Mary’s .. in the Oval there was a Bare Patch that after Heavy Rain would. Be a Mud bath and Flood the Path to classes..

Green & White of Course.. Canary Yellow.. Pillar Box Red and Royal Blue.. (Blue and Yellow) are St Mary’s Colours btw .. 【ツ】

Isaiah 14 about the “I AM” nonsense. I wonder if there have been “I AM” adverts over the years, if you don’t know, how are you supposed to know?
Vodafone definitely done one.

Walk with me oh my Lord, was sang with gusto in Seville centre on the day of the final by thousands of Celts, Spaniards and Portugese. Open air cathedral we brought to Andalucia.
Fellow Celtic fans
Good night and God bless
We live in good times
From the Old Testament as well. :D

We’ve already got that Irish pub selling Celtic gear in the
rebel town of Mornington but would linking with a Melbourne
club like Man City have done not increase Celtic’s exposure
especially with our huge fan base already here and big Tom
Rogic getting rave reviews.
Arsenal are already sniffing about the amateur leagues here
and are running a training session for kids where they get a
gooners strip at completion, to me thats showing initiative
and its not all about profit, well maybe for some it is.

Aaah . Clifden .
The Celtic Hotel.
O`Grady`s Grill.
`74 Summer.
On the boat from Stranraer we were joined by some “bonds” returning to Norn Iron.
My uncle , a priest , was with us. Right opposite him was a young couple of the Orange persuasion who spent most of the trip over to Larne climbing on top of each other with what can only be described as gusto.
Just a wee cameo from my youth .

Tim Cahill now theres a player that would have graced the hoops
Man City ‘s link to Melbourne City enabling him to play for them.
Our own bhoys kick off the season in a new custom built ground
complete with the G4 all weather pitch, 4 grass pitches a small
stand and beautiful dressing rooms, they think i’m mad when i tell
them stories about pulling burnt out cars off black ash pitches before
we could play a game :-))

I seem to remember that Tom Rogic was a Willie Wallace spot. I would hope that Paul Mc Stay would be doing the same , although I haven`t heard much about Paul for quite some time. He may be keeping a low profile.
Commercial links with other clubs are probably essential. I would have thought Liverpool would be a goer . Most of the Liverpool supporters I have met have Celtic sympathies.
RE. links.
Your initiatives are probably doing just as much as the Arsenal mob.
Seriously.
Now Celtic have a profile , by dint of our participating in C.L.
Our absence for the last two years was a huge frustration for me partly because of our absence of relevance in Oz.
Keep plugging away with your promotion of the good guys in ” Mexico.”

We used to get sent off for an early tap.

No worries mate.

Once spent a solo trip from Belfast to Stranraer in the company of 1000 loyalists who knew I was too handsome to be a hun, in my extreme paranoid mind. They knew I was a Tim and one told me as we left the boat he knew I was a taig fae I opened my mouth. Lived to tell. :)
DODE
So many of our young yins end up in Oz and its good to have
the internet to order stuff from the superstore, but it takes
a month to get here and if it doesn’t fit its another month back
and our bhoys are always looking for tops etc. as they grow
that quick.
Does your lhad go to the club in Sydney?

I miss. In the war against Rangers, in the fight for the cup.
Jimmy McGrory put the Celtic one up.

The best aspect is when they talk about Tims , not knowing you are one.
The ten year old brother of a female fellow student was in our company and in response to a question said.
” I wouldn`t talk to him. He`s a Kafflic. ”
Was she embarrassed , mate.
I almost felt sorry for her.
MELBOURNE MICK on 10TH OCTOBER 2016 12:25 AM
My younger lad goes to the Cove for the Sydney FC games with his mates .
I only occasionally go to the Celtic club at Cheers in the city. Transport probs.
However , now that we have UBER , I`ll be attending much more often.
I hope to get all the lads over to Cheers for the next hun game.
God willing a victory this time.
The last time was the penalty kick loss. :-)
MACJAY1
The famous Cheers pub, had a visit when we were on our round
Australia on a big boat excursion and loved it , full of mad tims
and a must visit for any holiday makers.
