You may have read a story released by Newco’s PR agent to their go-to Glove Puppet in the media about a dispute over payment for damages to Celtic Park when Newco fans made their first visit to the stadium.
I heard before the Hogmanay game that Newco would be paying the damages their fans did on that occasion, and that Celtic would pay for any damage caused by our fans Ibrox that week. What I didn’t know at the time was that Celtic unilaterally decided this would be the case.
Concerned there may be reprisals following the vandalism to Celtic Park, the club informed Newco they would let it be known that we would pay for any damage to Ibrox by visiting fans – as long as we could inspect the damage we would be charged for.
The Hogmanay match passed without incident; tea light candles were left in visiting toilets to diffuse washroom odours, Celtic were not taken up on their offer to inspect and pay for damage, none was reported to match observers, police or Celtic.
Celtic had earlier issued Newco with a request for payment for the vandalism their fans inflicted on our stadium. Payment was not received, so this week we withheld the same amount from ticket money due to Newco.
The issue is finished; no one is withholding money from Celtic. There is no story.
We’ve not had to deal with nonsense like this for four years and we’d gladly never deal with it again. The issue was placed in the media today by PR, alluding to damages Celtic offered to pay for, but which didn’t happen. Be clear on this – Celtic offered to pay for any damages but no damage was reported. The PR stunt is a deliberate attempt to damage the good reputation of Celtic fans. Is it any wonder print media sales are dropping off at such an alarming rate for some?
Let’s remember, this is the same PR used by SPFL sponsor, Ladbrokes, an unacceptable action by a representative of the league’s sponsor. It’s as though some are too angry to stomach the great news that Celtic have secured the £2.8m signing of Ivorian Kouassi Eboue without lashing out.
The club are delighted to have secured Kouassi. Despite his age, he’s first team ready, and has the character and ability to go a long way in the game. Between now and our cup finals in August, he’ll settle into Scotland and into a championship winning team.

Don`t let ACGR see that.
Big bones in evidence.
Why Dubai?
I think that’s a waste of money for a mid-term break. We should be always looking to be lean on our cost base.
We do not want to become the next Leeds Utd.
I mean, look at The Rangers.
They are much more focused on their cost base.
They will take the sensible option of Largs, Stevenson or Ayr. They might even stretch it to Millport, but that might be going beyond their travel allowance policy.

Hail! Hail!

did Aberdeen go also ?
yes

I am glad you mentioned the word superiority.
I think it’s a very apt description for your attitude. You are often too keen to fling out insults, or question someone’s intelligence.
I have opinions, you have opinions, others have opinions. Doesn’t necessarily make an opinion right or wrong.
I have no idea how educated you are, or how intelligent you think you are: but higher education does not necessarily mean a greater grasp of reality. Sadly, respect and tolerance are old fashioned words which should be more evident in everyday life.

Good morning friends from a clear skied, cold and frosty-over-frozen-solidly-packed-snow East Kilbride. Going to give the ole ParkRun a miss in these conditions.
Good morning CQN
Hope you are all well
Looking forward to the end of the winter break
And getting back to the football missing it
Hail Hail

JOBO,
Good call on the run, you don’t want any mishaps and get your hammy wasted like me.
Back for more rehab this morning, then off to my old Dads with his birthday present. Great to still have him around as a sounding board, the wisest man I know.
Then off to Glasgow for a lunch with the good lady, a present from last month. There will be wine and beer!
Be careful out there everyone.
BT @12.34 hrs am.
Contrary to the belief of many ( including lawlords) not such a great life.
Couldn’t agree more.

Should we be concerned with this love in Over in Leipzig . Could it be Sevco are looking for a take over from RB , along with a planned influx of 8000 follow followers , it would seem a plan is Being hatched here . I hope they are in Manchester 08 mode .
Are you taking the team away on the winter break Mr Warburton?
Yes
Dubai?
No, we respectfully scramble around for loan deals.

I believe I used the word superiority more than once.
Just educated in life, identifying stupidity and calling it out at ‘O’ level from the Forrest Gump school of life.

A lot of good talk about Efe on here last night!!
Sure I read somewhere that he was looking for a UK team as he is a short time away from completing 5 years work in this country.
When he gets the 5 years he can apply for a permanent visa.
Is this right???
Jim (hope you’re good mate)
RB are clearly on the acquisition trail but it would be a punt contrary to all due diligence and completely maverick. Risks enormous to the brand and their cash.

I read that too,mate.

Cheers kev . I’m good thanks . That was the reply I was hoping for . I hope you are correct and RB take stock and see Sevco for what they really are . A couple of guys from the village are over , this fan invasion has been planned for ages . With the sole aim of impressing the powers that be at RB .

According to Mary’s Meals, the cost of feeding a child in Africa/India for a year has gone up from £12.20 to £13.90.
That is a huge increase in percentage terms and completely changes fundraising targets and the ability for the charity to maintain current levels of support let alone feed more kids in 2017/18.
Crisis in Africa indeed.
