Not only are Newco left without an auditor, a Nomad and therefore a market listing, outgoing auditors Deloitte, wrote to the club last month to explain they were resigning due to threatening and intimidating messages received by their staff from anonymous persons during 2013 and 2014 in relation to their work with the club.
The toxicity of that football club is difficult to overstate. Is it any wonder Celtic fans are clear: the ‘Old Firm’ died in 2012? Any attempts to rekindle it will result in contagion for our own club, who maybe smaller going forward without the ‘Old Firm’ dividend, but it will be healthier nonetheless.
I’ll take 40,000 crowds and winning the next 30 titles in a canter, bring it on.

With all the talk of Dukla Prague and trepidation at meeting a good Eastern European team in the qualifiers, it never ceases to amaze me that it’s not an area that we are not recruiting from. The technical ability of their so called ordinary players is miles ahead of ours.
We seem to over the last 5 years be favouring the Scandanavian market. Although we have had some success their technical ability is generally outweighed by athletic prowess.
Players like Lubo are not that unusual in the Baltics. Indeed was he not supposed to be scouting this market for us a few years ago?
Mach ? For the pedanticurs :)

Spare a thought for the people of Greece if they vote no,when the money lenders start behaving as money lenders do ,fear, intimidation ,threats and aggro.

I reckon we should all stand Shoulder 2 Shoulder with the Greeks.
The Word is written, I cannae help but believe that there will be a new set of 10 European “Best” nations.
Don’t anyone ever Judge the Person, that is imperative. ;))

” I bet the heads of Deutsche Bank are kackin themselfs tonight…”
I bet they’re not.
The impact on the European market of Greece exiting will not be large enough for Europe to back down and risk Spain Portugal and Italy holding the Eurozone to ransom. If the experience of 2008 has taught us anything it’s that banks and , in extremis , national economies are expendable in the short term rather than spend billions bailing them out if they won’t accept more austerity.
I expect Greece to be given short shrift and given a straight choice between agreeing some sort of bail out on apparently amended terms for the Greek government to save face or simply leave the Euro and take their chances. The latter is unthinkable for Greece. They face generations in the wilderness. The realisation of that is what caused them to be so desperate to join the Euro in the first place that , it would appear, they lied to get in.
Either way it’s a mess.
SFTB.
So it would seem 50/50 is the best we can hope for?

It is 8- 5 times by qualifying, as I said, but 3 automatic entries not two.

Major typo in last post. I think we reached group stage 8 times since 2004. And seedings, not seedlings (damn predictive text!)

Great point
There’s only 500mE left in the Greek banks. They will not reopen unless the EU turns on the tap. That will now not happen.
How will the everyday economy function?
This vote is a catastrophe for the Greek people. An absolute disaster.
jmccormick
Aye 50/50, but think we can do better than that – just have to prepare well for qualifiers
As for inter game, thought we were very much in it and a really good chance of progress until the red card for Virgil

Sorry hadn’t properly read your post, only saw 5 in last 14 years from someone! Still 8/15 plus Seville not shabby – 60% success rate for me

“No man/woman has a right to take away anothers right to express his/her opinion.”
Wholeheartedly agree.
Now, what is your take on one man’s right to correct the spread of inaccurate information, which is really what we are talking about?
So you can divest yourself of your martyr garments and go and play with your toy. Thankfully, they have not invented internet bullets yet.
The people,of Greece will pay for this……think about the irony of that. The poor get poorer whilst the credit balance of the banks that are owed grows again.

I appreciate what you say and you and my bhoy is right.
Why should I lower myself, if it was only me in I would have it louder;))
Improving the players we already have has advantages over buying new players.

patrick27. cheers…will agree to disagree on the Inter game, I always thought we were second best .
As for this year, as ever I live in hope but think in reality.

Re: Celtic’s five failures to progress through qualifying rounds for CL
I think it would be harsh to crab elimination at the hands of Arsenal in 2009.
Hindsight shows that losing to Braga wasn’t too shabby on basis they came 3rd in CL section, and when dropping into Europa League they made the Final only to lose to a Falcao-inspired Porto in Dublin.
careful with that tax, moonbeams…
A couple of the woman are tidy, think I might put my work hun tap on and mingle. Joking…;)
the long wait is over
I beg to differ re the {Duche} Bank, the Germans and the French can’t afford for Greece to exit the euro, and everyone knows it.
Anyways, the bailouts are not going to help the Greek people, the money goes to the afore mentioned banks, the self same banks who bent all the rules to allow the Greeks in at the start, a weak Euro is what they need, a strong euro, they are donald ducked.
Greece is in such a strong position, if they hold their nerve, they have them by the bollix.
As for saying Greece will be a desert for generations, I don’t buy it, not for a single second, it’s the fear mongering that is being spouted by the banksters and their ilk.
For my sins, I don’t watch the brit or american news, I prefer to watch stuff that tell me the truth in an unbiased way, so I can make my own mind up.
Feck the banksters.

“So it would seem 50/50 is the best we can hope for?”
I think it’s a bit better than 50:50 when you consider that the likes of Arsenal and Big League 3rd and 4th placed teams are not hurdles now. I’d say 75:25 is closer to the odds but I would not argue with 80:20.
Point is that the chances of failure are still 1 in 4 or 1 in 5, which makes it not a gimme or a sacking offence.
As guernica pointed out earlier, RD’s style of high risk football increases the chance of success against better teams (breaking the last 16 glass ceiling) but leaves us more open to losing against lesser teams who catch us on the break.
We’ve been through the safety first style of WGS and the slightly more offense-minded NFL, I will accept that gamble if we have good enough CBs like we had last season.

“Hindsight shows that losing to Braga wasn’t too shabby on basis they came 3rd in CL section”
You could say the same of Artmedia who finished 3rd in their group, a point behind the deid team, but they were dismissed as a pub team at the time.
SFTB. fair enough. The problem is all about where we are weaker or stronger as s team. Currently we are weaker in defence, even if we sign more players will they gel in time? Up front we are no better or worse, SPL level.. For all that, I will be roaring the team on…plenty of time for post mortems when the corpse is cold.

I do so hope you are right, at some point the money go round has to stop. At some point one of the big lenders has to say ” gonna geez me ma money”. Instead of asking that question of an impoverished country, why not ask it of an improbably funded bank?

fair point about Artmedia having come 3rd
However the Bosch qualified in second with 7 points in a quite dreadful section.
I would say that – admittedly in hindsight – 2010 Braga were a far better side than 2005 Artmedia.
