No one on Celtic Quick News ever doubted Gordon Strachan, did they?
It’s been a long 8 years since that dark week but our former manager demonstrated enormous resilience to win three consecutive league titles and twice qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. He is perfect for the Scotland role, although, to be frank, I didn’t think his squad had last night’s result in them. Well done to all.

Celtic Board devious?
I certainly hope so.
Incidentally,I’ve seen Lenny making some welcoming references to the future return of the hun.
Wonder why he`s not copping it.
The Board fair game.
Lenny sacrosanct? Too unpopular as a target?
I am a wee bit late to the table on this particular discourse on how our board should be reacting to the revelations on a second division side.
I don’t often agree with Neganon, but he is right in one respect; we cannot maintain a dignified offhand silence.
It is as obvious as the noses on our faces that skullduggery has been afoot from the beginning of the Sevco saga, and it has been encouraged by all the bodies involved SFA, SPL, UEFA and the Masonic Lodge.
I believe CO is up for reelection shortly. We should be openly and vocally opposed to him continuing in his present or any capacity.
I’m not sure what else we can do but this should be the first shot across the bows of the corrupt football establishment.

How do you know the Board are silent on the issue?
Because they haven`t spoken publicly?
Our Board may be many things,but they`re no mugs.

The only thing that has changed that has a direct impact on Celtic more than any other of CFs revelations is the email from Regan to Rangers about the UEFA licence.
I’m not so sure about that. The way I read some of the MediaHouse e-mails then I get the impression that they were trying to cast Celtic as the vindictive player. Had all this made it into the feral media then God alone knows how the Legions of the damned would have reacted.
What they were trying to implant into the public psyche was/is repugnant; and to my mind at least – criminally inciting.
I personally believe the safety of Celtic Supporters, and the general public, is much more important than a few million pounds.
If nobody is taken to task over these revelations, assuming they are all true, then it is indicative of what awaits in the future. If silence and inaction is the response to these revelations then what a gutless image of Scotland will be perceived by oh so many.
macjay:
Neil Lennon is an employee of Celtic PLC. If he was to repeatedly be diametrically opposed to the party line then he would not be an employee for too much longer.
That is not to say that his desire to see the Huns back in the SPL is not a sincerely held desire. He is allowed his honest opinion too, I think; or more importantly… I hope.
A Stor.

Hear Hear.
The mildest public response from Celtic would be portrayed as ” inflammatory ” by our friends in the media,
Speak softly and carry a big ( financial ) stick.
And besides it is not about where the Huns play, it is about in what guise and how they are allowed to play. It is about corruption and questionable governance of our national sport.
If the whole show is corrupted to favour one….

Bertie Auld has made similar references too.

I equally don’t believe our board are mugs. Witness the position of strength we currently hold.
However, I see no evidence of them even attempting to clean house at the SFA despite the shenanigans at Hampden where the rule book is ignored or re interpreted to suit one side.
macjay –
Couldn’t agree more.
Nobody on CQN can possible know that the club has been sitting on its hands doing nothing.
Silence does not necessarily equate to inaction. These are very delicate issues which can seriously impact on people’s lives and safety.
I sincerely believe that Celtic are working tirelessly in the background, negotiating a way out of Scottish Football. That takes time and a lot of patience, and in the current climate, a lot of biting of tongues to resist the temptation to speak out publicly.
I have faith in the club to see it through.
Hail Hail.
If Campbell Ogilvie, after his wee – all expenses paid – soiree in Mauritius, is returned unopposed then God help the game of football in Scotland.
Would Alan McRae or Rod Petrie being elected be an improvement worth the vote?

Its not just Celtic that is silent. The SFA every Club in the SPL every news outlet in the UK. Every Politician, Law Firms, Accountancy Regulators, Stock Exchange Regulators, Police, EUEFA absolutely everyone except the internet bampots, The whole bloody thing is like an episode from Lost.
=====================================================
Indeed… In a nutshell.
Seem an apt time for a rerun of an old song on here.
There now exists an individually isolated herd of elephants in numerous important rooms accommodating a range of Scottish Fitba Business Interests.
Its like their own wee Bilderberger scene..

Lenny could just be like the Board and say nothing.
As far as the party line is concerned,I feel you are dead right.
Would have been quite happy for us to gazump Derby to sign Johnny Russell (which surely isnt going to happen now) but equally would be furious if as is being reported on newsnow Crystal Palace gazump us to sign Amido Balde. Almost feel like a hun.

Cheers,mate.
Faith in the club? Me too.
However,I can completely understand the frustration vented by some of our fellow Tims.
For our mob,injustice is intolerable.
That`s the difference between us and them.

Sometimes I wonder if they are in touch with the support at all.
I find it surprising as well.I was lucky enough to have a chat with Bertie when he was in Sydney and he was very complimentary about Davie Provan, a Rangers player I seriously did not like.I told Bertie that after Kai Johanssen scored against us at Ibrox,D.P. came trotting back to his left back berth giving the Celtic support the double handed vicky.
Having said that,nobody more in touch with the Celtic support than Bertie.Champion of a man.

Good Morning
How you doing?
Good morning to all from a hun infested factory.
It’s can be fun in here at times.
Getting eye contact at the moment can be hard, the humphs are up…denial is in the air again :-))
Am I alone in being thoroughly weary of the whole Zombie debacle? So much wailing and gnashing of teeth and yet so little done by any organisition who could make a difference. Judging by some of the posts on here it would appear that the only long term casualties will be the Celtic support and Celtic FC. Internecine fighting , we, the opposition turning on each other and in by doing so weaken the resolve to see justice done in Scottish football. Are other clubs supporters as obsessed with the Zombies as we seem to be? Are we the only support who care about justice for Scottish football or our motives somewhat darker and simply driven by a desire for retribution? I admit to be firmly entrenched in the retribution camp.
Some talk of the Machellivan traits of PL well it looks as if the Zombies have a Sith master in charge of their PR – full control of the SMSM which sadly included the allegedly impartial BBC propaganda spouted each and every day from Clyde FM. Damaging info released from anonymous sources instantly countered by total and utter silence from the press which is nothing more than a planned and coordinated suppression of the, alleged, truth.
The longer this goes on the more it seems to me is that in the ‘best wee country in the world’ we have had our Jelly and Ice cream moment! The very public humiliation and liquidation of the Oldco. Those in positions of responsibility and power within Scotland will not allow this to happen again. As many here have speculated The Zombie FC will continue to exist in some form regardless. The rules have been changed to preempt any future financial collapse, regardless of liquidation events the football club and its history is now a completely separate entity from the ’business’ it can be handed from company to company to company.
Morning Celts.
A quick read of this page and I see some great posts from our more travelled CQN’ers, well done and KTF.

Morning all. Not so glorious a day down here. Looks like rain.
Has Lottie been at it overnight?
I see Iain Banks has gone away the Crow Road.

“Lenny could just be like the Board and say nothing.”
I think some of our board have made their feeling well known. Who do you think these words belong to?
“Rangers are a fantastic club with a great history. They will, in not too long a time, be back in the SPL. I have no doubt about that.
“And they’re needed for Scottish football because of their following, the size of the club and especially their history. We certainly would like to contest with them every week. We believe we have a better team and management structure.
“For us, it’s disappointing that they are not there but that’s decisions by the various clubs and leagues and we accept those.
“Rangers are one of the great clubs in Britain and we have to acknowledge that.
“They are a motivation for us to go along and beat them in every Old Firm match, so we miss that opportunity.”
Good morning CQNers,
Throughout this saga we’ve followed the evidence trails presented with such clarity by the award winning Phil Mac Giolla Bhain and Ranger Tax Case and now the Charlotte tapes yet we’ve had Stewart Regan and Sandy Bryson simply dismiss it all by stating they don’t carry out any perfunctory checks on submissions by clubs.
The evidence of Sandy Bryson, the SFA’s Head of Registrations, held the key as to why stronger punitive action was not taken by the tribunal.
Under questioning, he explained that a player, once registered with the ruling body, remained registered with them until such time as his contract ended or that player left their club’s employment.
I have my suspicion that had Celtic been the transgressor the SFA may have had different views but that is simple conjecture.
Before the Celtic board could get involved they would need absolute irrefutable evidence of wrong doing, but even then , given the recent history of inquires and judicial proceedings that wouldn’t be enough.
I therefore understand the board’s reticence in challenging the SFA or any Scottish establishment body.
Would it surprise anyone if GCHQ had been monitoring CQN ?
I have to laugh at those who believe establishment conspiracies start and end as you cross over the border from England, it only happens in the best wee country in the world……..how naive
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/video/2013/jun/09/data-snooping-law-abiding-citizens-nothing-fear-hague-video
The foreign secretary, William Hague, says reports that GCHQ are gathering intelligence from phones and online sites should not concern people who have nothing to hide. Speaking on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, Hague claims all intelligence gathering done by the UK is governed by a stong legal framework. When asked directly about the UK’s links to Prism, the NSA’s secret surveillance programme, Hague declined to either confirm or deny

“internecine fighting”
That`s what pains me.
Mate,Celtic are in cruise control,while the hun agony is prolonged.
I`m thoroughly enjoying the trip.

P.L.? :-)
I go along with Kojo that these comments are made for public consumption rather than as a true reflection of the attitude of the Board.
Sorry.Gorra go.

Mr Brysons view could have been easily challenged by a simple question
How many of at least hundreds of cases stretching back over a century in which protests regarding the registration of players were heard by the SFA and affiliated bodies from youth level to senior was the ruling that Mr Bryson gave the inquiry actually used by the SFA
Answer: None
I have my own views on LNS, he was not duped by Mr Bryson
Morning all.
Sipsini, I may pop along to Aberdour for an hour or two, work dependant.
I have something I need to get back to ACGR, and it would be good to catch up with fholks.
I’m working in Edinburgh on the day, so just across the bridge.

Dermot Desmond, and he seemed sincere enough at the time.
macjay1:
That is of course a possibility, one I’m sure every thinking person considered without the need to phone a friend or ask the audience either. However, if you accept that as a given does that mean we take every interview and announcement with a spade full of salt.
Statements like “We will not be treated as less than equal. Those days have gone”
Was that just Dr. Reid telling the masses what they wanted to hear too?
Somebody has to question the governance of our game, somebody with guts. More than likely it’ll be somebody from Aberdeen, or maybe one of the wee diddy clubs will squeak up.
If you allow them to walk all over you then don’t be surprised or bleat when guess what…
they walk all over you and rob you blind into the bargain too.
Good morning fellow Celts – another lovely morning on Renfrewshire
