Newco spend a penny then PR turns on Celtic fans

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    Think you’re misinterpreting the post ?

     

     

    Maybe and if so, am sorry about that but I get a lot of this kind of stuff by folks who should know better.

    Sorry

     

     

    Evening my friends

     

     

    This is simple

     

     

    If somebody wrecked your house would you let them back in?

     

     

    Also if you paid for bouncers to stop this happening would you hire them again?

     

     

    Over to you Celtic

  4. Art of War on

    Mike in Toronto, it’s ok your secret is safe with me! :-)

     

     

    Used to go to the wee pub before games at Love Street called The Wee Barrel – i think, drink addled brain not helping here. Anyone confirm/correct?

    Visited the Indian you mentioned, the Punjabi Palace ?

     

     

    Nice lunchtime Lamb madras,but they tried to bump us for a few Euros……they ain’t met Mrs BCW …

     

     

    No prisoners taken after negotiations failed.

    MWD,

     

     

    Of course I get what you think. However I think you are wrong.

     

     

    Rap musicians using the N word is wrong, If it’s not acceptable to all of society, it should not be acceptable to some. No exceptions.

     

    Would it be acceptable for a mixed race person to use that word as part of a social circle you talk about? Would he be inside or outside the circle.?

     

     

    No personal interpretation, no ambiguity some words and terminology should not be acceptable in 2017.

     

     

    Explain all you want, feel free, but my opinion will not change

     

     

    HH.

    I’m meeting ACGR for a cheeky wee pint tomorrow.

     

     

    Any words I should avoid using in case offence is taken?

     

     

    No? None??

     

     

    Ok then… :-))

    Wrong one mhate, the Koh I Noor was one I mentioned.

     

    Sorry to hear yir troubles ….is the waiter in the hospital

     

    after your good lady’s intervention? hh :O)

  12. THE EXILED TIM on

    When were certain words deemed unacceptable ?

     

    Who decides that certain words should not be used any more ?

     

    It’s a bit like when Graham Spiers says that cheating used to happen re the referees but it doesn’t happen any more, when did they stop cheating ?

     

    Too many folks tugging the forelock me thinks, appeasement never works, end of.

  13. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    See Michael Jackson’s family offended at a white actor portraying him in a play.

     

    Where do you even start wi that?

    God knows where he found that lady in Rutherglen

    TET – I used to take great offence when told – “the bar is closed”

     

     

    It’s all about context and company.

    You are indeed correct The Wee Barrel was on Love Street about 300 yards from the home end gates. Rod Stewart was a regular when he arrived at Glasgow airport to attend paradise. It’s shut down now as are most decent pubs in Paisley.

     

     

    Before anyone starts there was a few decent pubs in Paisley just not a very nice town.

    I do now remember reading your Gender Fluid stuff. My initial thoughts on that were WTF is that? Your post were the first time I heard of that phrase.

     

     

    I will read up on that a little more now.

     

     

    With regards gays and lesbians having a right to be parents I am 100% in agreement with you. I have in the past had disagreements on this issue with immediate family. I do not agree that gay or lesbian couples have any right to be parents to a child. That said I do not disagree on the basis that they are homosexual or due to the fact that they cannot bare they’re own children.

     

     

    They have as much right as any loving couple who are in a serious long loving relationship as are any couple who are not able to bare a child. Their sexuality should not come into it. Only their ability to raise a child without prejudice or hate.

     

     

    I am seriously bewildered by the gender fluidity stuff. Reason being I do not believe an individual’s sexuality is a choice that they make. It is something they are born with. Whether that be straight, gay, lesbian, peaodophilia, in the understanding of those terms. The only grouping I would 100% refuse the enjoyment of having a child is those who are peodophiles as they are a risk to each and every child. Homosexuality and Lesbianism does make the decision of authorities complicated but if they deem a child will be afforded a childhood in a loving environment how can that be wrong?

     

     

    If a couple, straight, gay, lesbian (I’ll exclude pedophilia here) enforced their children to act, have the same semxuality as them then that would be 100% wrong.

     

     

    I can guarentees and I’d bet my house on it that it is more likely that a straight couple (with the best of intensions) would try to enforce their lifestyle on their children more so than a gay or lesbian couple.

    A person of mixed race is a niger! No?

     

     

    Any tinge of black and to the racist you are a niger.

     

     

    How you or I perceive a culture or race turning a word or phrase around positively in their own culture as means as a GIRFUY is of no relevance. Without the word or phrase being used against them in a demeaning, inhumane manner is 100% the point. Whether it is used in rap, music, poetry, or comedy is not the question. It is the reason why these social groupings have ever felt the need to use it as a GIRFUY that is the point.

     

     

    If you don’t get that then sadly your bigotry never will. And yes it is your own personal bigotry that sways your perception and understanding unfortunatelately!

     

     

    If you have to question why these groups use this language then you miss the racism, bigotry and intended offence of those who came before us and inflicted their hatred and superiority in language.

  42. MoonbeamsWD on

    Mags

     

     

    I knew, just knew you’d come on with the word niggardly which has no relation or connection with the racist term niger.

     

     

    Kojo is still a racist!

     

     

    Chancer!
