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.

Good evening / morning gents.
As your resident hielan Ross County supporting guest here, I’ve ben looking at our home fixtures from now until the Great Split.
Sad to say most, actually all but one, are both top six or relegation fight-to-the-death battles.
The one?
Well, seems we’ll be hosting the title leaders, (winners?), on Easter Sunday at midday. (15th April 2017.)
I’m sure there is a Bolshevik centenary that day – as well as British and Irish oned.
But that’s not why I’m bringing the subject up.
I’m just pointing out that maybe we should all plan ahead.
Can’t stay long the night as driving earĺy morn.

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.
==========================================================
Dead right.
The essence of racist word use is that the word is intended to cause offence.
If the intention is not there ,then it is not racist.
It may , however be thoughtless , accidental or foolish use of language.
But it should be criticised on that basis.

Yeah doing good Mhate, bloody Murderators (copyright MAGGIE MCGILL).

As usual now…typing on a phone in the shed bunker…typos everywhere.

You are wrong again in that agreement with another.
Have you ever been in a position were you or yours have been abused with language to demean you or yours for a few hundred years and then in spite of the hatred turned the same reference in your favour to pointedly display the stupidity and low education of the fools who demean you? Have you ever been referred to as anything so demeaning as a bigger or a poof to understand the hatred and tone of those who demean you?
How else do you counteract such hatred and stupidity but to reuse the same language defensively.
Please do not insinuate your superiority in your stupidity. Thanks

Welcome, all these ghuys asking if your a hun must be doing your BOX in ! Roy C great tunes again !
Basically, I’m asking of there is going to be a special party in Dingwall on Easter Sunday 15th April.

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.

Oh dear, I don’t think you understood my post. I’ll rephrase, 8000 Huns ANYWHERE, what could go wrong?
NEUSTADT=BRAW
Yes, already noted. Don’t fret, pet ;-)
A handful still to come in and then I can hopefully put something out there tomorrow lunchtime showing which teams have been chosen and by how many.
But first to sleep and to pray that tomorrow morning’s ParkRun courses are “playable” ;-)
of=if
And of / if I can interject..
The argument is going nowhere. Two good people taking an intertwining tract each….on..
What does “semantics” mean?
Some people (we are the people types) will just disagree for the sake of a wooden spoon and a mixing bowl.
Always happy to debate but not with stupidity.

HAVE YOUR SAY
The current transfer window offers the potential for so much pruning that Brendan Rodgers has deemed necessary, it is to be hoped that the Celtic manager has a pair of secateurs in his luggage as he and his players touch down in Scotland this morning following their Dubai winter break.
Luckless Nigerian Efe Ambrose could be the first surplus-to-requirements squad player to depart the Scottish champions on a permanent basis this window. According to reports, the 28-year-old has been offered a two-year deal at Bastia.
His need a for a fresh start – for five months he hasn’t been close to a senior appearance – is obvious.
With Eoghan O’Connell having moved on loan to Walsall and Dedryck Boyata believed to be holding out for a switch – temporary or otherwise – to England amid interest in the Belgian from Anderlecht, the deck-clearing of centre-backs could be an extensive process.
Rodgers has used 30 players in his first six months in Scotland. He stated recently he really only wanted to work with 17 outfield performers on a daily basis.
It is possible he could snip away at no fewer than nine of the players that have made competitive first-team outings under him at Celtic – plus Scott Allan being touted for another loan move after his unhappy spell at Rotherham, and Kris Commons, whose wages may lead him to the English Championship or America at the conclusion of his Hibernian loan.
Emilio Izaguirre, who has enjoyed a renaissance following Kieran Tierney’s injury, is reported to be on the wanted lists of Yorkshire clubs Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday. With Tierney preparing to return, both may provide better playing prospects and salary packages for the Honduran who is into the final months of his Celtic contract.
The forgotten Nadir Ciftci and Kristopher Ajer will surely be spending at least the second half of this season with other clubs. The pair haven’t been sighted in senior football since Rodgers’ early days. And although the trio of Gary Mackay-Steven, Liam Henderson and Ryan Christie were used as Celtic found themselves playing every couple of days in December, with new £2.8 million midfielder Kouassi Eboue they are unlikely to be glimpsed again any time soon.
