There is no outrage louder than moral outrage, so I ignored this week’s stupidity by Kilmarnock chairman Michael Johnston, adding volume seemed moot, but if you look below the bonnet of this decision you’re likely to find the real story. Kilmarnock FC is in a critical condition.
They need your money this week, probably even more than they need the goodwill of their own fans. Mr Johnston’s most damaging folly has not been to offer Celtic fans a better deal than his own club’s supporters, it has been the failure to address the club’s financial imperative over a long number of years. Like another club I can think of, getting cash in the door is the only game in town, as a failure to do so would bring enormous consequences.
It is the Killie fans who suffer as “Speaking as a solicitor” Johnston clings to what passes for power at a busted flush. Don’t apologise for this week’s self-harming insult, instead be contrite about the actions which brought about the problem.

Fergus Mccann seems to value his privacy, and that of his family; David Low may simply be respecting that.
I hope so.
We owe Fergus everything and he has more than earned the right to be left alone.
HT-Games brought forward to a Friday don’t help attendances either …;]
Parkheadcum….,
Reading the bit about the booing of ?Fergus and Low’s unconcealed contempt for those. “Celtic men” who did it, reignites my own revulsion for those cretins and the one who continued it with Brian Quinn.
Now, if ?I was pushed, those are the media guzzling sheep that I would consider ?Green ?Huns.

So many question marks, so few answers.

@Pmacgiollabhain The word inside RIFC was quite different. Perhaps the SFA have been duped regarding the inquiry

290 shares in total were traded today. Resulting in 1% drop in the SP.
DBBIA,
That makes sense.

Dub on very heavy vinyl —-way to go !
Recently got a new Dub LP ——
Linval Thompson and The Revolutionaries —–Boss Man’s Dub .
A previously unissued gem from 79 . Great horn section and the bass really pushes the backbone. Fab version of the Delfonics –La La Means I Love You.
Boom Boom !
Nice one. I had a good day at the record shop on Saturday – also picked up “Dubwise Revolution” (Prince Jammys & Scientist), some Mighty Sparrow and some Sly & Robbie. Nice man in the shop threw in a Dave Brubeck LP for free. :-)

Anyone looking for tickets for the Barca game on Tuesday then there are approx 100 available at the following site. Seems this is a new partnership announced today by CFC. Tickets are approx £57 each
http://www.stubhub.co.uk
Once the £5M I have been promised by a Nigerian prince arrives safely in my a/c I shall be hooverin’ up all these cheap RIFC shares.
They are the absolute bargain of the century; their value will skyrocket like an ole sputnik.
Oh yes.
celt for life-Celtic FC touting tickets now ? Shameful.
Charles Green announced to the world that he would float an IPO.
He said, “you give me your money, then IPO”.
Talk about “Selling Your Soul”

That’s for sure.
I wondered if Low’s cryptic comment suggested unfinished business with Scottish football.

Celtic have been providing tickets for all their CL fixtures to a bar/nightclub owner/gangster (well known Hun) since last September.
He then sells them as part of an exorbitant hospitality ‘package’.
Ten Men-Beat me to the post on that one.

ThomtheTim, great article from AV with David Low.
We really need to get out of Dodge, very worrying to read he is of the opinion he see’s our current predicament as worrying as worrying as 1994
Hamiltontim
Correct.
Makes me sick thinking my club is involved in any way with such a ‘character’.

………………………
Auldheid, it’s interesting that after canamalar telling me in an email some weeks ago that he was more or less told to GTF from kerrydale street that there does now seem to be some support from posters in the link you put up. Some even claim to have backed it themselves by signing the resolution.
The more exposure it gets the better.
TMWTL
Wasn’t aware of Celtic’s arrangement with him. I am well aware of him however, a Hun scumbag.

Celtic have another stadium display before barca game on Tuesday he same as last year! Hopefully that will spur team on to another famous victory!
——————————————————————-
here was me thinking the GB organised (and paid) for the last display….
doc is supporting oscar and mckenzie.
********
Do you think that he is alerting the support agitate for relocation.
I can see where he is coming from and the Killie predicament is not really a source of rejoicing, although not invoking sympathy.
ACGR
I had a wee smile at what I read too.I am sure canalamar will have a wry smile himself when he does.
On exposure there should be a bit more to come this week on that front.

I reckon SFA are still waiting as they promised they would publish certain info from supplied figures on the SFA web site.
I imagine an extension was given but Regan and Ogilvie will be rueing the day they allowed themselves to be duped.
Kimarnock FC under their present regime are
doomed…….better to let them go under, and let
the decent Killie fans clean up what’s left and
rebuild their club…….just like the Hearts fans
have done…………….btw not too fond of either.

Thanks for the link earlier. I have since caught up with an interview of its’ author, Pete Patisson and subsequent apologia from both FIFA and the Quatari Authorities. What is documented in the preliminary construction for the 2022 World Cup cannot even be described as abuse, but more as torture leading to death. According to the Guardian, 44, mainly younger men, died between June and August of this summer. What is to be done? Well it just so happens that a certain football club sponsored by that very same Quatar will turn up at Celtic Park next Tuesday. Whatever regard many of us have for that club surely a protest is in order. Or does UEFA’s rules, rule out any kind of protest as political? And therefore not allowed?

Fair enough bud, thats your opinion, mine is different, I liked the guy and was sorry to see him go, but I respect your opinion just the same.

The ole Sevco must be the world best dupers. They have a long history of duping success. Another World Record!
Can someone post the David Liw interview with AV.
Who is AV anyway?

Sorry .
David Low.

Auldheid, one KDS poster asks “Have FF and Sevco Media gone into meltdown yet?”
Maybe not yet, but they will soon enough. Like some of us lurk on their sites to see what they’re up to, I’m sure many of them lurk on ours.
ThomtheTim, yes, but more, I think he is sending a message to the current Board.
Notice earlier he said they weren’t doing enough at present, it wasn’t strongly worded, nor specific, is this the more he is alluding to?
