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.

last week it was the pillow biters and this week its the obese, is/should there be any reverence ? naw, they were born that way and I was born to ask questions, which minority do you support?
Now, the RC church educated me, not to be a bigot but to question, most people educated by the RC church are agnostic, atheist or gay poofs, means we were indoctrinated by the individuals who provided the lessons. yet here we are accepting idolatry as if it wasnt even a commandment ffs.

Fascinating from Brendan.
I get the distinct impression that Brendan now trusts his own judgement.

Good Morning Bhoys we are off to mass soon as a believer I believe God guided the Bible writers and constructors.As for the Church as it is man made it will have its faults but I believe as a member I should play my very small part in trying to keep myself and the Church on the straight and narrow. I hope God blesses us all the believers and the unbelievers .
Morning all from a dull , darkest Lanarkshire .
Blog went a bit off last night? I had a lovely lunch at Jamies Italian in Glasgow yesterday. I n ow he is not everyone’s cup of coffee, but I have never had a bad meal or poor service in the Glasgow restaurant, I had a terrific lunch on their special offer menu. I got back early as it was a bit too cold for my old bones to be pub crawling.
Early mass soon, then gym then cooking. Fancy a bit of roast chicken dinner today with some healthy sides instead of roasted potatoes, will decide later.
Take care everyone
HH
Thank God things seem to be back to normal on CQN. When were the glitches sorted?

Lisbon May 2017
Is there a CQN plan for celebrating the 50th anniversary?
I have booked independently and will be in Lisbon, so I was looking to meet fellow CQNers on a similar homage to Estadio Nacional.
I know BRTH may have something in the offing re transport but,
Is there any CQN plan of events?

Does anyone remember that foray into media by His Hunnish Ser David Murray?
I winder how many sports hacks around today started their careers with this brand and what His Hunnish Ser David Murray has on them from that period?

There is a squad of us making our way to Lisbon for between 23rd and 28th May.
About 19 of us flying in from Edinburgh, Liverpool and one or two other places only to be joined by others who are driving or flying over from Spain and other areas of the continent.
We will be meeting up with Mouldy and his group of cyclist and supporters ( about 50-60 of them ), and there i a group making the journey in a Hillman Imp (can’t be more than 4 of them surely) to recreate the late John Quinn’s drive in 1967.
But there are loads more groups heading over and it is expected that there will be upwards of 1000 in Lisbon on the day.
I have previously suggested to Winning Captains that we consider a CQN dinner in the Kerrydale Suite perhaps on the anniversary of the win over Real Madrid for Do Stefano’s testimonial to celebrate being the real, true, historical and undisputed greatest team in Europe at the time ……… but we just haven’t gotten round to taking that further as yet.
There are quite a few charity things lined up which will come into play over the next couple of weeks as well but many of them can be done from the comfort of home or on a piecemeal and spur of the moment basis.
These too will spawn one or two events in a couple of months and later in the year perhaps.
