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.

Re the smashed toilets, this comment lifter form “Rangers Media Forum”
“I wish someone would smash up our toilets so they would finally get done up”
Sso some of them do have a sense of humour….
Huns £40k grabbed. Only £500m to go. No Old Firm here.

Cant remember our dialogue last night. Its now just another one of your monologues :) I must have included 1 of the 29 Kafflik sweary words.
A bit quiet on here tonight? But rather peaceful.
Live GFS update – now sitting on 108 entrants with 21 of those still to send in their pick for Week 1.
Still hours yet if you want to join The Clique. Although nearly everyone’s already in it! – cqnpredictor@gmail.com
Chinese offer Costa 30 million a year, EPL could be in trouble in being able to attract the players its does, Sky money will not come near being able to compete, may cause a loss of interest , dropping subscriptions means one thing, players clearly not interested in winning medal and trophies and will follow the dosh, watch out for an expanded CL to include Chinese teams as UEFA will not want to let this money being traded outside its cartel.
So Diego Costa want off to China . Was it £30,000000 a year?
Are the wheels about to come off the EPL band-wagon?
Cellic PLC take £40k aff the huns for the damage to toilets at Cellic Park….
Guid!
Where have the cojones came from ?
Why now ?
Are the Cellic PLC trying to convey the image that, they’re on the same page as the fans ?
Why now ?
Don’t forget,….this is the same PLC who, gave fans addresses to the cops….
…They looked the other way when, Cellic supporters were ‘kettled’ in the Gallowgate…
…They jumped into bed with the the anti-Cellic SMSM, after the Fir Park fiasco and, banned Cellic supporters from Cellic Park into the bargain….
…They sold Cellic’s soul after going to a Govt-Summit after the shame-game where, Cellic had 3 players booked and yet, the PLC saw fit to accept 50% of the blame for shame-game in which, Cellic’s manager Neil Lennon ended up being blamed for the entire fiasco…?????
….They threw Neil Lennon under a bus after the shame-game when, Elbows-McCulloch ended Beram Kayal’s Cellic career in a future ‘old firm’ game where Neil Lennon said about the tackle – “It was a fair tackle, just two committed players going for the ball!”…..aye, right !….Neil also refused to comment on the other incident in that game where, hun thug Norn Irish striker Healy, almost halved young James Forrest in two….
…They reigned Neil Lennon in and, Neil eventually broke free from the shackles of, Cellic PLC’s Confidentiality-Clause-Culture….when he, unexpectedly chucked it and, had Lawwell and co, scrambling about to construct a gobble-de-gook statement which appeared 5 hours after Neil walked….Rudderless FC.
….So, why all the flexing of the muscles ?…….squirrel-show…???
…Do the PLC know that there’s bad news about to come down the track re:….all the hun tax-case stuff and, the Res:12 issues….?????
…Two days ago on here, KITALBA(God Bless Him)….asked BRTH, after BRTH had said that the Lord Reed bloke who’ll be on the hun tax case jury thingy, was a dignified person etc….KIT asked BRTH if he also endorsed the dignity etc of – LNS ?…..BRTH didny answer…..BRTH also said on here last year that – “Fergus McCann set up Celtic PLC to keep the fans on the outside of the club.”….I have alluded to BRTH’s ‘throw away line’ several times on here and………nothing….Hmmmm ?????
I smell more plants than the Botanic Gardens……sadly…..looks like the souls are being sold again….imho.
If emdy responds to this….I’ll catch ye the morra….off-oot.

Yes per year, he is dropped from the Chelsea squad for tomorrow as his head is turned.
I see Ole Charlie nic has been bumping his gums a lot today saying how Desmondo was going to run him out a town saying you don’t want me as an enemy
Would the multi billionaire moustachioed one be even bothered by this minor irritant?
Ah well when your trying to sell tickets for a talk night I guess you have to make up some big whoppers

Left in 1978, moved to Edinburgh for college. Still got mates who refer to this as “that time you defected”.
Blairdardie, Sunnyside Drive. Had family in Inchfad and Glenkirk Drive. Lost heart forever in 1976 to girl from Essenside Avenue but not bitter now. Much.

Celtic ask Sevco for evidence of any damage at Ibrox. Sevco send a picture of the turf where Dembele held the ball for about 30 minutes.

By the way, it’s like the closing hours of the transfer window on the ole email front tonight. Since half 5, another handful have signed up (now at 109), about 25 first picks have come in and a further assortment of emails regarding rules, jokers, how to pay, etc. Keeps me away from food and drink!
But keep them coming! About to take a wee break but I’ll be back at the time that Sean Connery goes to Wibledon – “around tennish” ;-)

Nothing will go wrong.
Police Scotland have a team over there for the BIG friendly (no joke…).
They will ensure that all Chelsea fans causing mayhem will be named and shamed.

Postie148: Welcome to the bhlog.
Delighted with Celtic withholding £40k. Yogi Hughes’ suggestion of demanding payment upfront plus a deposit for damages for the next game is an excellent one.
I would go one further, I would limit them to 3,000 fans for their next visit with a threat of further reductions for future visits if they continue to cause damage to our stadium.
(Ideally I would love to ban them altogether).
Just booked flights for Lisbon in May … canny wait
Is there a CQN itinerary ?
I’m a Patrick as well …..
