Partnering Kelvin Wilson

704

After a couple of days away from the computer I caught up with the Ben Nevis Huddle photographs, magnificent achievement to everyone involved.  Our 1254125 project is in good hands.  I’d no idea there would be snow at the top of the mountain in June.

Have you bought your ticket for the Lions Roar event at the Kerrydale Suite on Friday evening.  It will be a great opportunity to watch the Lisbon game in the company of the Lions and enjoy a Question and Answer session afterwards.  There will also be a chance to get your picture taken, so get along.

Accurate news broke today that Celtic are in the market for a central defender.  We are not short of cover in this area of the team but no one has made an irrefutable claim for a place to partner Kelvin Wilson.

As we have often said, successful defending can only be done by a unit, not an individual, but unsuccessful defending by be achieved by anyone.  As ever, let’s hope Neil gets his first choice.

If you are still to renew your season ticket sign up for 1254125 at the same time – it’s every bit as important a part of being a Celtic fan as watching football.  If you’ve already renewed, get back and register.

    Morning CQN

     

    wish I was more well read in order to follow these conversations. Don’t get me wrong, It’s not that I don’t actually read, but I must admit that I am starting to feel the Racing Post and Readers Wives are short changing me and leave me feeling a fool.

     

     

    On fools;

     

     

    Jock Stein quote;

     

     

    TV Presenter : ‘Scott Symon, Rangers manager, what do you think the score will be in the Old Firm match’

     

    Symon : I think 2-0 to Rangers

     

    TV Presenter : ‘And you Mr Stein what will the Old Firm score be?’

     

    Big Jock : ‘Only a fool would try to predict the score in an Old Firm game’

  5. Front page of today’s Evening Times

     

    “Celtic fans Firhill stand ban ”

     

    Reason given is fears that flare carrying supporters could set fire to the wooden structure.

     

    OTT headline if you ask me , could have been covered ( if it had to be at all ) by saying Celtic supporters would be given the North Stand for these games.

     

    Typical MSM coverage of a story involving Celtic.

    Good morning CQN,

     

     

    I just love the irony in the fact the G8 countries are meeting at the bankrupt Lough Erne complex.

     

     

    I saw Bruce year in the RDS and I was stone cold sober as I’d left the tickets in the hotel room and lost the drinking time retrieving them, all the jostling would have been much more tolerable with a few pints.

     

     

    Have a good time all who are going to see him, you’ll be guaranteed a show at the very least.

     

     

    A personal favourite…

    Yours is certainly one moniker I won’t be shortening. .

     

     

    TnT oldtim and othdrs usually leave selections at end of previous thread should you wish to compare. .

  10. tommytwiststommyturns on

    FGF – I was in that old wooden stand with some other CQNers for a pre-season friendly a couple of years ago.

     

    It’s a potential death trap and they shouldn’t be allowed a license to open it for any games.

     

    The Green Brigade let off some flares/smoke bombs in the stand behind the goal and the Jags are clearly uptight about it.

    BT – we’re usually quite flexible and use the previous thread, although why we should when you consider some of the drivel usually posted on the main article…?! ;-)

    Spoke to oldtim yesterday and he said he would be doing that. I agree that as it is off season there is/ should be no problem. It is easier for me also when using my phone.

    I don’t have a problem with PT , they had to make this decision to get a safety certificate . It’s the way the MSM report these matters that annoys me , if it needed reporting at all .

     

    Do you think it would have been reported this way if it was any other team?

  14. Morning,

     

     

    Police stepping up their agenda against Celtic fans.,I am going to write to my MSP and ask all major events in Glasgow be reviewed as police admitting their officers are unable to conduct crowd control and stop illegal items being taken in to venues.

     

     

     

    PARTICK THISTLE are to ban Celtic supporters

     

    from their historic main stand over police

     

    fears that flare-carrying fans could burn the

     

    wooden structure to the ground.

     

    Trouble marred the Glasgow Cup Final at

     

    Firhill when fans set off flares and smoke

     

    bombs

     

    Firhill chairman David Beattie announced the

     

    move last night and said: “The consequences

     

    of incendiary devices in a wooden-clad stand

     

    are there for all to see.”

     

    Thistle took the controversial decision to

     

    ensure they received a Safety Certificate for

     

    the ground ahead of their return to Scotland’s

     

    top flight next season.

     

    Fears over flares had prompted authorities to

     

    review the matter and the decision has now

     

    been taken to give Celtic fans the North Stand.

     

    The agreement comes just weeks after trouble

     

    marred the Glasgow Cup Final at Firhill when

     

    fans set off flares and smoke bombs.

     

    Beattie added: “The Police Football

     

    Intelligence Unit raised concerns as to the

     

    increased use of flares by sections of some

     

    away support, citing a number of incidents

     

    that have taken place over the last season.

     

    “This, along with our own experiences of flares

     

    at Firhill over the last couple of seasons,

     

    meant it is something we have to seriously

     

    consider.”

     

    A Jags ‘singing section’ was situated in the

     

    North Stand last season, but the group will

     

    have to be moved when Celtic travel across

     

    Glasgow to accommodate the Hoops fans.

     

    Beattie said: “At the club’s Operations Board

     

    Meeting, it was agreed that approaches would

     

    be made to representatives from the North

     

    Stand to keep them up to speed.

     

    “But due to people’s commitments the original

     

    meeting date was delayed.

     

    “Unfortunately, events overtook that

     

    consultation process as the timings around

     

    the renewal of the Safety Certificate meant

     

    that a strict segregation policy which banned

     

    Celtic supporters from the main stand was

     

    enforced.

     

    “In essence, this left the club with a fait

     

    accompli regards moving our own fans.”

     

    While Thistle have been left with little option

     

    but to relocate their supporters for the Celtic

     

    clashes, the decision will infuriate Jags fans

     

    who revelled in the North Stand last season.

     

    The red and yellow army played their part in

     

    Thistle’s First Division title success by roaring

     

    Alan Archibald’s side on from the stand, but

     

    will now have to be moved from their usual

     

    seats for one of the biggest matches of the

     

    campaign.

     

    Beattie said: “We share our fans’ frustrations

     

    that due to elements outwith our own control

     

    we are required to move our fans from the

     

    North Stand.

     

    “However, we are confident that no matter

     

    their location, the Thistle fans will provide the

     

    players with fantastic support and again make

     

    us proud of our wonderful fans.”

  17. tommytwiststommyturns on

    FGF – that’s a given regarding the MSM, but from experience I don’t think PT should be allowed to open that section of the old stand.

     

    If it’s that safe, then put their own fans in there!

  22. Dutch Under-21 international Virgil van Dijk has confirmed his desire to seal a move to Celtic.

     

     

    The Scottish champions are understood to have shown an interest in the FC Groningen defender, and the player is now hoping they push through with a deal.

     

     

    Van Dijk had attracted interest from England, with newly promoted Cardiff City and Championship outfit Brighton both keen, however, the player seems to have his heart set on a move to Glasgow.

     

     

    “Celtic is a fantastic club and a step up for me,” he told De Telegraaf.

     

     

    “I now have to wait until the clubs agree.”
