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.

So why did a top bundesliga side choose to play a meaningless friendly against sub standard opposition Warburton?
I’d have to say that TEEX 2 is the best compilation, imo.
It had this absolute Genius of a track.

And a funny one at that.
German techno was so powerful. Scotland had it’s own stuff that got you going tonto, I hope Tony D is alright, Celtic to the core so he is.

This was up there in ’93, one of my top tunes from that time..

Zimmo has a great future behind him.
starry plough,
You know yer getting old if you can’t remember if you had a Drum Club CD or just remember them being on a few compilations. ;))
I can’t even remember if it came about because of Trance Europe Express CD’s but I find Beaumont Hannant to be superb sonics whilst retaining that edgy feel to creating new sounds. Obviously frae way Bach in the day as well. :))

Hi all
As the Herald reports James Forrest is reborn, a detailed analysis of his performance is now up on Celtic By Numbers http://celticbynumberscom.ipage.com/james-the-first-redux/
Hope you enjoy.
With talks apparently ongoing with Manchester City for the extension of Patrick Roberts loan, tomorrow I’ll be looking at Roberts record as he and Forrest vie for 1 spot.
Welcome any feedback for this new blog ! thanks and HH
Good wee article about JF,worth a repost imo,too many fans rather quick to write him off after a couple of injury hit and confidence draining seasons,guy who sits behind me is always on his back,even blamed him a couple of times when he’s not been on the park,probably E44;))
As I had retired for the night before replies came through on my speedy players thoughts, here is a follow up. I was born in 1959, so was around when Lennox played. Some posters mentioned Jimmy Quinn, but I have no memory of him playing. Lennox was undoubtedly rapid, but I think the game as a whole is quicker now, and Forrest still makes some defenders trying to run with him, look like they are going backwards. I still think Forrest is the fastest Celtic player I have seen.
On the subject of Jason Denayer (very rapid as well BTW), I still think he is not the player that some on here think he is.
But it’s Fitba’, it’s all about opinions. I have no problem with people holding different opinions to myself.
Canny wait to see the Hoops again.

Bob has a tremendous back catalogue-subject to occasional editing!-as you know.
He’s kicking 75. How he got there is a mystery,like Keef,but neither is likely to showcase their new stuff. They know their fans are there to hear the classics.
Bit like my record collection,tbh. A glut of releases from early 60s to late 80s and relatively few from other times.
I’ll bet you still have your old 78s,same thing(!)
This is interesting
We wont stand idly by etc ?

Yer right:))
The Trance Europe series was like a testament to the scene that had been around since about 91 if I remember correctly, so to have the tunes you heard out at different clubs was just magic. I seriously loved the first two editions and there was another double that came out around that time from a London label Rising High which was the soundtrack for me of that time!!
Those were the guys who went on to define the music I thought, spent many an interesting Sunday morning listening to those comps:))

Morning Bhoys from a dry mild Central Scotland.Half-way through the transfer window and we have signed one new player it could be a busy second half or there again Brendan may be happy with what he has. H.H.

Catholic taste in music.
Only way to be.
No good music . No bad music.
Only musical preference.
Bob Dylan was perhaps the most influential musician of the 20th century because of his influence on the attitudes of the general public in the West to the political issues of the day.
And he changed those attitudes.
`78s ? Nah.
But I still pluck me old guitar strings.

Bejayzus,I assume that plan was hatched after a particularly arduous lunch?
Thatcher sent an armada 8000 miles to “protect British sovereignty”. She wouldn’t have blinked at declaring war if ROI had followed that plan through.
MACJAY
Good man. No musical talent at all in your humble correspondent.
I even used to get told to STFU singing The Rebs as I was ruining them for everyone within earshot!
Lennox was expert in the timing of runs and had pace to back it up. For pure speed and acceleration I’d go for Agathe and Jimmy Quinn 68-74. Gamboa must be up there too. In the 80s Roy Aitken was fastest over 100 metres, proven in a squad race.

That`s right.
However , contigency plans consider every contingency however unlikely.
A British exit at that juncture was so unlikely as to be inconceivable.
Now.

Yes very unlikely that they would have pulled out…but if they did theRE could have been a major attack on the nationalist community…its good that the ROI even considered it..

Ironic to think that the Brits initially went in to protect the nationalists / Catholics who were being burnt out of their homes and were initially welcomed.

Everybody listening to a 303, Like Starry P.
It’s not about the Quality of the Sound
Richie Hawtin sonics urnae bad, plastikman, I don’t think so. I’m wondering just how many psuedonyms The Aphex Twin went under, assuming he was the Aphex Twin. ;))
Awe naw, I’ve been to see Dylan a number of times. Rest assured he is never mediocre. He will be absolutely amazing or absolutely awful. I hope it’s the former.
Fantastic artist and I’ve got his entire catalogue including all the bootleg series (which are a great snapshot of his career).
Second only to David Bowie in my musical appreciation.

I am a long time lurker and very rare poster. I would be grateful for a bit of info. My sister was very kind to buy my baby son a personalised brick at Celtic Park. It is on ‘Billy McNeill Wall 2’. Is it possible to get access to these walls on non-match days. I would like to get my wife and son along to see it when it is quiet and suits us. However, I have noticed fences erected that may secure our stadium on non-match days. Any info would be great. Many thanks. Hail Hail from Motherwell.
