I know I’m not the only one with a pavlovian dislike of hearing Celtic players mentioned in international match reports in June. Preseason training is only four weeks away, quickly followed by the Champions League qualifying round, so these weeks should be for rest and recuperation. The one exception to the rule, this summer, is Emilio Izaguirre, who is set to play two World Cup qualifiers for Honduras over the next two weeks.
Emilio missed most of last season through injury and then sat out much of the remaining part of the campaign due to the impressive form of Charlie Mulgrew. He is the one player in the squad who benefit from competitive football to restore his edge, and confidence.

Houl yer wheest
Not a fair player on the pitch, but fair play to him. The reaction is shocking, but not surprising, further evidence that those currently in the forefront of “supporting” Rangers are motivated more by hate than any genuine love for their football club. And I do not mean all Rangers supporters by any stretch of the imagination. Do not know how true it was but we were linked to Flaherty before he signed on at Ayebroke. Does not lack ability mind you, and certainly has the height to be a forward. Cannot see him staying at Rangers now.
Good evening bhoys and ghirls, a very rare poster here but I lurk on a daily basis.
Just want to say a big thanks to Paul67 for his work over the past few months, its been an education to me and subsequently the huns I work with!, cheers Paul.
I was in at the park yesterday and bought 6 season books, 4 adults and 2 kids, I must say the staff were brilliant. The seats are row A of section 411, just above the greenbrigade, the kids will love it (not to mention this big kid!). A few of the seats are classed as restricted view so i asked to see them, no problem to the ticket staff, took us round and what a view, magic, although we seem to have borrowed the fir park pitch for close season!.
Anyway this is one bhoy who canny wait for the new season.

On area committees giving money for OO Jubilee related parties I thought this might happen, these I guess have been authorized before the end of the last Council. I dont know the specifics of the individual awards as I didn’t get any for the committee in my area.
I would suspect that they would request a grant for a community/street party for the jubilee, they would centre this around an OO hall and say it is open to the whole community, thus getting them round the rules on giving money to closed organisations.
These committees have members from every party who make the decisions I know in my area we were looking for late applications for the last committee as we still had money left in the budget,we managed to spend our money without any Jubilee parties. Other areas might have had money left and thought we might as well allocate to these parties if they had no choice, or maybe they just wanted to give the OO money towards a community event.
As I said I dont know the detail of the applications

I agree with your comments all groups lobbying elected members claim they can control massive numbers in any election, I dont buy into that but the OO did actively support the SNP in the Scottish Parliament election in 2011 against Labour as they did not agree with Labour trying to curtail their cultural celebrations Ha Ha.
But generally all groups exaggerate their influence

Anyone have a link to Paul’s appearance on beeb yesterday?
Anybody seen BBC Scotland’s prog a few years ago called “21st Century Orangmen”? You can get it on YouTube. Its in 3 parts. Very illuminating- a progressive organization embracing a tolerance of other people belief systems? Ha. Give these neanderthals a platform & they will unfailingly embarrass themselves like a chimpanzee wearing a suit at a dinner party.
I can’t remember who said it, or even the exact words, but roughly it goes like this: A cannibal using a knife & fork is not progress.
St. John Doyle
I am sure that some elected Poobah in the OO promised to recommend their membership to vote SNP just as some might publicly urge them to back Councillor Matheson’s party now, but, any urging will be half-hearted and they know that their membership are more likely to vote for a party that has the butcher’s apron flag in their logo. In the voting booth, those who can hold a pencil, will find their X or 1 vote drawn inexorably towards Tories, UKIP or BNP.
The lumpen just love a flag.

You are spot on I dont think many in the OO vote Labour or SNP.
I feel left out nobody from the OO has ever met with me with a promise of voting for me, must be because my eyes are too close together.
I have never liked people who try to threaten me I am not that easily intimidated always counter-productive with me
Been a bit of talk here about council funded Orange Lodge Jubilee Parties.
Does anyone no if any other organisation applied for funding for Jubilee Party and was refused?
Love them or hate them, like everyone else Orange Lodges were entitled to apply for funding.
Real offenders were Labour politicians who granted the funding.
People’s party my backside.
Can anyone remember the Rennes game at Celtic Park?
Glenda went off injured and was replaced by a kid called Fraser,and the lad went on to have a terrific game in central defense?
Is the said player still with the club?

Pineapple is just rhyme and slang for chapel.Not sectarian in the slightest,the word is used by Catholics as well.
Misread it. Tired after work.

Thanks.
Hey wonkyradar…you got that right!
My missus just came back from a day at a council founded community event,and she tells me that she didn’t hear a word about the “strenghth through joy” Jubbly until she came home and found out that it was a hot topic amongst us CQN’ers!
Not a lot of people can be bothered with the patent fakery of it all….even here in AngloSaxonNormanLand.

If was Area Committee funded they have every party elected on them not just Labour, and community reps.
Blame the SNP for not tackling them in their sectarian bill but the SNP chose to pick on Celtic supporters to “even up the numbers” but they bottled it as the SNP have gave assurances to the OO to keep them happy about an independent Scotland i.e keep the Queen as Head of state and the issue of Catholic schools

Hearing that the 1st media sacking due to making an arse of the EBT story may be about to occur. Nothing to do with Celtic btw.

“Love them or hate them, like everyone else Orange Lodges were entitled to apply for funding.
Real offenders were Labour politicians who granted the funding.”
I agree with your first point but the second does not follow. Surely if anyone can apply for the funds, no council can refuse them, unless they are for a discriminatory use. On this occasion the OO can apply and so long as their party is open to everyone, they get the grant. They do not have to even ensure there are non-OO people there ; just to promise not to refuse anyone, not of their persuasion, who wishes to attend.
I doubt the Council outlined the terms for these Jubilee events, these will be Government funds, surely, downloaded to Council level to administer i.e. to distribute but not to legislate.
In this case, it is just a stupid unintended, though foreseeable in Scotland, side effect that only the OO, CoS, and RST would apply to host such nonsense. I was gonna add the Wee Frees but they don’t do partying.

The applications go to the Licensing section I am not sure who compiles the records, I dont think they are published
They are a matter of public record and can be FOI requested may be worthwhile to compare over a couple of years for a proper comparison, or phone Gerry Braiden at the Herald.
