Newco spend a penny then PR turns on Celtic fans

993

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.

    I can`t remember anything in our exchange of views which was unacceptable

     

    Apart from your point of view :-)

     

     

    BUT………….

     

    The mods have a lousy job to do.

     

    Damned if they do.

     

    Damned if they don`t.

    yeah I know what you are saying but is this really the Celtic View?

    It’s like some people’s version of the same sweary word is acceptable, beginning to agree with mags, it’s not what’s said but who says it.

    I do not copy others posts but Kojos posts at that time were 100% racist. Especially despicable as it was against one of our finest. But whether or not he used the word ‘Niger’ or not (if memory serves me correctly he did but I am open to being corrected) his post/s were 100% racist and 100% disgusting. Anyone who attempts to refute that is just stupid and anyone who attempts to shine a torch up his arse as some sort of holier than though superior CQNer has something not quite communicating within the cranial space where cells interact.

     

     

    In fact if they have more than one cell colliding with their skull is be wholly surprised.

    As far as I am concerned , there is a major lack of consistency in what is deleted and what is allowed to remain.

     

     

    We can be absolutely certain that Paul et al. want to ensure that CQN does not degenerate to the kind of ” gutter press ” outlet we see on some of the hun sites.

     

    If some of the mods are ” overenthusiastic ” in their interpretation of ” the rules ” , well that`s a small price to pay for the service provided.

    Don’t lurk or post much any more. Just looked in and realise why. People being deleted for using sweary words.

  15. Ray, post deleted as moribund is an obvious reference to a Maori tribe who have no access to the internet to defend themselves.

    Well I think Im falling into the enthusiastically deleted category :)

  17. So is it obvious that we can’t have the police do their job and

     

     

    PROTECT OUR SHITTERS!

     

     

    Really 2 or 3 peeps said that the cops stood down when the huns wrecked our toilets.

    Mags.

     

     

    Not so sure that Kojo used the word miscegenation in relation to Henrik.

     

    However , he used the word ” nig nog ” in reference , I think , to Bobo who was sitting out the remainder of his contract. Foolish certainly .
