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.

Alexander Armstrong just can’t get away from Celtic.
On Pointless he had the Henrik Larsson tale.
Tonight I am watching a recording of Italy’s Hidden Cities on Venice. He is talking to a top chef when a set of Hoops walks past.
I believe Sevco have a case.
Celtic supporters jumping up and down may have caused structural damage to the roofs.
Celtic also damaged the morale of the players and supporters of Sevco. The bill for that could be immense.
Celtic supporters also caused untold psychological damage as it turns out the People are not The People at all. That comes at a cost.
The drains at ibrox were also put under immense strain due to weak bladdered tims peeing themselves laughing for 60 minutes.
We are in trouble.
Fred
Once we get digs sorted we should be able to firm up details
Hoping to meet up with Mouldy, vmhan and the cycling team at some point as well as a trip to the Estadio National
Hravstski Jim – please alert the FF banned list.
Alexander Armstrong, despite the supposedly staunch Presbyterian name, is clearly a ‘tarrier’…….

Cannae even ask you what clique you wish to join,as you have already joined the biggest and best.
A warm welcome was much easier in the old days.
HH to you.
Is anyone else tired of laughing at Sevco?
Me neither……
Hi CQN
I have started a new Celtic blog, as the world is crying out for such a thing. I have collected my own detailed team, player and opposition team performance data on every Celtic game since Deila started – so 2.5 seasons worth.
1st blog is up at http://celticbynumberscom.ipage.com/ and you can follow on Twitter celticbynumbers@Alan_Morrison67
Welcome your comments, feedback, a follow and a bookmarking. Many thanks. HH
Almore – I’ve heard that Celtic are threatening to provide a free beam back for the orcs of the next Celtic v Sevco mismatch to ibrox as punishment for their vandalism.
And no, they haven’t suffered enough…..
Blantyre Tim
Many thanks .
PS punctuality was never my forte but being fifty years late for the game takes the biscuit .
This is what I’ve been trying to post …..

Wow – Paul McStay completely and utterly tearing the entire rangers (il) midfield and defence a new one with one clever turn and one sublime pass. He was genuinely world class.
Fair comment Paul67.
This though is the type of statement our club should be making officially to counter act the Hun PR wuckfits!
Kev
It’s always hard to argue with you except in your support of your polar opposite TD67.
On that note, I’ve not seen him post for a while and hope all is ok with him on a personal level. Might not like his opinions but he is a Tim and every Tim is family even though I might want to ground them every time they speak. :@-)))

Portuguese cup final same day as Scottish cup final so may not get access to the pitch if it is being prepared for the event..

I must admit that there was someone in a blue tee shirt about 100m in the background.
Watch for the Level5 story in the morning claiming there was equal “Old Firm ” representation.
Roberttressell
He was better than that. Although if it wasn’t for my new brake discs in the Marriott hotel CP he’d never have made it to OZ. Imagine that, almost knocking down the best player I’ve seen play in the hoops in my lifetime. I couldn’t have live within that. Thank feck for BMW brakes. :@-)))

Never heard of her before, very good voice
Robert Tressell: That would be an ideal solution:-)
Has anyone heard any news about the fans’ café beside the Superstore?

From wiki …
The most prestigious international game ever staged at the Estádio Nacional was the 1967 European Cup final, played between Celtic and Internazionale with the former winning by 2-1 and becoming the first British European champion team, nicknamed the Lisbon Lions.
I’ll admit that if I was a pro of world class ability I’d sign on in China for £30m then after a season come back and play for the hoops for free.
Nice to see club giving Koulo a couching job. Our defence will just keep getting better. The big man has found his home.
MWD
Chelsea imploding and Diego off to China.
Good.
Almore – this fans cafe, good idea. But I’d want a different and exciting new coffee blend each home game and for the baristas to have checked shirts, beards and to treat customers with disdain if I put milk in my coffee.
Hipster Coffee Celtic stylee
MWD
Great thinking also as Koule and Ya Ya have a football academy
We could have first dibs on players before we hand them over to Citeh

She was on x factor 2012 but quit through illness ….
Doing ok now it seems ..
Moonbeams- a close call! I recall being slightly cheered up by the maestro after losing the 1999 Scottish cup final to Oldco. Leaving hampden after the game I walked past him and he looked at me. He looked as gutted as the rest of us. It almost made my day.
A sad, possibly slightly creepy, but true story. I was a bit awestruck…..
The Chinese doing to the EPL what the EPL and Sky have been doing to us for years? Karma indeed.
The Maestro is as well as being a legend is a humble Bhoy
He came into the Machan last year and was just one of the bhoys in to pick up his dad from a Sunday afternoon drink..
Great lad
H Jim – ha ha!!
Blantyre Tim – and that’s why he is even more of a hero and more loved than other great players we have had. One of life’s good guys!
About this appointment of Kolo , is John Kennedy still in the picture ? What a player that boy would have been
Excellent news about Patrick Roberts.

Read your musings with interest the other evening with regard PC and the use of the term poof for gays and niger for blacks. I 100% disagree with your view that these are acceptable terms to use when speaking of or to gay men or black people. The fact that gay men use the term poof when speaking of themselves or to one another and/or black people using the term niger in there own cultural when speaking of themselves or to one another is not anywhere near a non gay man or anyone who is not black using these terms. IMO gay men and black men have turned these terms around from their abusive, derogatory meanings to a more friendly use within their own social situations with pride in what they are. They have taken the offended away from the use of these terms turning them back on those who use them offensively against them socially.
As an anoles gorgy it is much like the Catholic Irish turning the offensive and abusive use of the word fenian around and happily calling ourselves proud Fenians to counteract the abusive use of the word against our social group. When used by Huns and Brits the word fenian is wholly offensive and offensive in meaning by it’s use. Using it ourselves adding proud to the word fenian does not detract from the offense hoped for by it’s use by those of a Brit Prtoestant self perceived superiority. Any white person or for that non black person using the word niger in reference to black person only hopes and uses it to cause offended as does any non gay person using the word poof against homosexuals.
No matter what way you twist it as PC gone mad you are wrong!

Where is Roy Croppie keeping these days?
I always enjoy ending my work week with some of his music, and have missed it of late.
