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.

Welcome to CQN
……… Unless your a hun that is ;-)
Well said MWD.
Personally I don’t care about name calling but when it is used as a tool to make others feel inferior then I don’t agree.
MWD,
I think there was more to it than that but if that’s your interpretation then I agree with some of your thought process, fenian has never been a term I’ve taken offence to.

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

A good read for anyone that likes their stats, interesting. Cheers
If words are deemed offensive, then they must be deemed offensive to all.
It’s an absolute nonsense that certain words or terminology is acceptable to some but not acceptable to others.
If our society strives for equality then let’s all be equal in word and deed.
Anything else opens up a complete ” can of worms ” and can be open to individual interpretation.
Apologies to any worms.
HH.

Offended you say,
You posted about what was discussed on cqn and you never mentioned Balamory
I am really really really offended.
What’s the story?
Here is a brilliant idea to stop the huns wrecking our toilets in March.
Put the police in there and have them do their f%$king jobs!!!
Its not rocket science. Get the rozzers to protect and serve.
Yes, I know I am a genius……………

Hopefully Roberts will want to stay here next season. That will be the key factor. It will depend on whether Brendan can assure him he will be a key player. In the bigger matches this season Forrest has been preferred. I think Paddy will want to stay and will look for those assurances. It’s a no brainer if the finances allow. He won’t make it at Man City and will be loaned out again. A quick look at Jason Denayer shows how things can go south quickly. He is happy here with his best friend forever KT and big mate Moussa. This is the place to be. I for one will be delighted if he stays.

I thought I had read pretty much all that was posted. I was having a sleepless night due (one of many lately) to being informed of being put at risk of redundancy. I wasn’t in the mood to comment on what I was reading that evening but as ever shit plays on my mind and I like my say. So I don’t think I must a post that was made in relation to this.
I’m happy to be corrected and apologise to you if I picked you up wrong if you are happy to explain.

So a niger calling his pal a niger should be deemed unacceptable after a couple of hundreds years of Niger being used to dehumanise them. I don’t think so!
But go ahead, next time you see a black man in the street walk up and call him a niger. I’m pretty sure it will not be taken as a joke or socially acceptable. A white person calling any black person a niger is offensive and demeaning and Hunnish!

In the previous toilet going-ons I thought there was a couple of off-duty polis joining in having a smashing time and the uniformed polis were just observers.

Good article following on the back of your Res12 mention. Well done.

Mini was ragin PC Plum didnae stay in the station..
Unfortunately cops are human. With human faults.
MWD,
The N word is not acceptable. Full stop.
No exceptions. I’m surprised you think differently.
HH.
OK so the cops are out??
Shall we have the army or SAS abseil in from a roof or some shit???
Surely there is someone in this part of the world who can protect our toilets (not called toilet duck) ?????
I know, shall we put a tax bill under the seat. We know the huns wont touch them.
They run into the toilet……….flick the seat up…………………FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!
Toilets are saved!

8000 Huns in Germany. What could possibly go wrong?
I’ve lived in Germany for many years, brought up my family here and am well satisfied by how life is here. A fine country. So, for me, your comment is puerile, nasty and absolutely unsubstantiated.

My 2 girls were well hacked off that Archie’s Castle wizny there. Think they were about eight and five at the time. They’re 22 and 19 now, but they still talk fondly of our week in Balamory.

I agree. It’s unacceptable to me. It’d be just stupid if someone called me it. Hence why I’d laugh in their face. As would the term poof. Which I believe unacceptable in reference to a gay man.
But if these social grouping wish to turn the offended around by using these terms within their own personal social experience as GIRFUY to those of us who want to dehumanise them and inflict our perceived superiority on them who the F are you or I to tell them they are wrong.
I am a proud Fenian bassa and always will be. I’d never have been a proud Fenian bassa if someone had never called me a Fenian or a Fenian bassa.
Do you get it or do I need to explain it more?

Gerry from earlier, thanks buddy.

Please share your insights to your picks if you are of a mind to.
Dunfermline going not too bad. St Mirren – shoite.

thank you for making me smile broadly
MWD,
I’ll no bore the blog too much and advise you to reread, my two main points were, I was called out and vilified on here for using the word to describe Scottish tims, main point being the word was used to dismiss the argument an context.
If a black man can call another black man then why can’t I use the word to describe other white men?
On the poofery bit, we have been getting our heads filled that itsmptalife style choice and they are born that way, now out of the blue we have to call them gender fluid because they are fed up being called gay, trick being the word gay was hijacked and no synonymous with the gender fluids.
Gender fluid intimates choice, so what we have is the demands to respect their choices but somehow they are not responsible for their choices. To the point were we must accept the rights of exmen demanding we respect their rights to upset fertility clinics demanding the impossible.
Calling a poof a poof is a trivial matter IMO. Most kids have been called a queer or poof at school, and it was laughed off by most, it was more offensive to be called a homosexual, the correct terminology. And I’ve no doubt if it was my intention to offend I could made the correct term as offensive as any other term.
As I said a weebitmorethan simply name calling.
PL’s 3 trusted advisors at CP are ex CID ,tell them to chase up Polis Scotland and get their finger out, seemingly it was on hun websites that the toilet in question was going to get destroyed before the game.
