I don’t like playing games when players have transfer or contract business swirling around the dressing room. Give a team an excuse to underperform and they tend to grab it, so I expect a difficult challenge at Easter Road tomorrow. If we want to maintain our unbeaten run and two month old clean sheet record we’ll need to bring our A game.
Neil Lennon’s comments at yesterday’s media conference, about potentially dropping players who plan to leave in the summer, point in this direction. Few manage to perform with an eye on their next gig.
Well done to the new regime at Newco Rangers who used Latin in their stock market announcement yesterday. There was no “ex-gratia” payment to resigning director, Brian Stockbridge, who instead had his contract paid up.
Paying Stockbridge in full is hardly a money saver but with him not around it will sweeten the medicine others will have to take and allow a fresh angle to be pitched to supporters at season ticket renewal time. Let’s hope their manager sticks to his contractual guns.
Daily Record columnist, Chris Sutton, has today made the case for Neil Lennon to leave Celtic and move to England. Nice one, Chris. If you hand around long enough to get to see it all.

Are the Celtic Trust divisive?
Are the G.B. divisive?
Are the Celtic support divided?
Who must take responsibility for that?
Yup.I know .The Celtic Board.

‘a free thinker.’

How does that work then?

Think about it.

Well done, haven’t heard that since 4th year at High School!
And you’re completely correct.
Morning Bhoys. I am a bit surprised with reports that James and Adam are injured.
I was in a Glasgow snooker club on Thursday afternoon and both the Bhoys were at the next table to me and young Dylan and a couple of younger Bhoys also in playing a few games. So at this moment Dylan not in Coventry.

‘The Chair indicated that at a meeting between the Trust and officials from Celtic, theCEO and the then Company Secretary statedthat the Club were not aware that legislation was being planned until late summer 2011 but minutes of deliberations at Holyrood reveal that not only did Celtic officials know about the plans by at least early June, they were actively involved in supporting them.’

That apparent discrepancy should be a cause for concern for all the free thinkers among the support.

You’re a free thinker only to the extent that your thoughts aren’t worth anything.

The 90’s were the lowest we could sink. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it somehow did!
One thing I always stand by though is not criticising Big Biggins or Muggleton. I feel quite sorry for them.
They had stupid names and were signed by a crap manager and thus have become a shorthand description for the entire car crash our club was at that time.
Biggins tried his heart out in every game (didn’t really have the ability, but that wasn’t his fault). He isn’t the worst striker I have seen play for us btw!
Muggsy didn’t do much wrong either. Having a daft name has had him painted with ignomy in our history, which probably isn’t fair.
There. I feel better now :-)
Happy Australia day all you Aussies….
roll on kick off time….
The trust are growing on me. They have annoyed me for yrs in their demands for fan representation on the board. To my mind all on board already fans but i want the most prof an best in that field on board an not the biggest fan. As this site proves there is no fan consensus. We all disagree on everything! It just wouldn’t work who would be chosen to represent cud they keep their silence what about confidentiality. Its always been a non starter but they continually harp on bout it. I never want fan representation on board as it wouldn’t work an wud weaken us. However if the trust want to be medium between fans an board then that wud work an they wud have far more purpose an be more worthwhile. In my opinion.

I’m about 10miles from Easter road. It’s wet but just light drizzle.
No danger of a postponement just now.

Would really love to share a schooner.

Onya,mate.
Vanguard Pondlife incredulity at the suggestion that Stockbridge’s exit might be to appease Orcdom:
“There are already people slaughtering some of the remaining board members and one idiot in particular made the outrageous claim that Mr Stockbridge leaving is simply another cunning attempt by the board to seduce the support into buying up season tickets for next season.”
While slowly slithering towards the light and realising that the Sleekit One might not be that Super:
“At the much anticipated AGM, it was revealed that our managers’ salary was £825,858 p.a. I was staggered that this man who had proclaimed he would work for nothing, was happily taking this amount of money from our club during these difficult times. As if shamed into it, McCoist announced that he had offered to take a 50% reduction in his salary during these financially difficult times for our club. It later transpired that this wasn’t to be a cut, but merely a deferral. It also transpired that at no time was McCoist working for nothing, and for a so called Rangers man to be happily taking this amount of money from the club during its present predicament is nothing short of disgraceful.
Recent leaked emails do nothing but further convince me that McCoist is as much a drain on our resources as the people on the board who were branded spivs and thieves. This man is taking a salary which is more than many English Premiership managers are on, and we have a playing squad of 56 while playing in SPFL league 1 against part-time players. This simply is unsustainable, and in my opinion a salary of around £100,000 p.a. would be more than generous, bearing in mind our current circumstances.
While the sold out signs continue to be displayed wherever we go, it appears that we ourselves have been sold out…
…by our manager.”

Have enjoyed reading your NTV posts. Thanks for taking the time to post them. I also think you gave a very fair appraisal of Biggins and Muggleton too. Muggleton was quite a good goalie but he was with the wrong club at the wrong time. Macari was never more than a bargain basement wheeler and dealer – an Arfur Daley.
I think all the talk about 5-6 million pound players was just a smokescreen.
We all know the drill…..we tried blah blah.
The truth imo, is that Leigh Griffifths was the main target all along.
Now….don’t get me wrong, that kid is a good player, however….PL does not seem to get it at all, and its annoying because the answer is simple.
If you want to do well in the CL instead of being fodder….well, im afraid you will have to buy better players Peter.
Start right now, by going out and signing some quality….Robert Snodgrass, go get him now, and stop gambling with our CL qualification chances.
You cant do it on the cheap forever.

Someone showed me the front page of the Daily Rot yesterday……Stockbridge quits without taking a penny ….. Was the headline.
Just outright lies again!!!
However, I guess I should just be grateful that their refusal to report the truth contributed to Deidco being jettisoned into oblivion and will help in the same way with Sevco.

Perhaps we could balance their political stance with a group diametrically opposite.
Would that not be fair?
Read the Celtic Trust report. Perhaps I missed something along the way, but it looked a bit short on detail – seemed to me to be a list of areas of concern but with no proposed courses of action and desired outcomes – other than to write to PL? A bit more flesh on the bones might bring more people onside. (I am not saying that I have the answers necessarily).
p.s. 2 cracking goals by Tony Watt for Lierse. And, I am gutted that Atajic has been allowed to go out on loan rather than being given a proper run of around at least 6 full matches.
Here’s hoping for a good result today. HH

No one is preventing this from happening. It seems, however, that the Celtic Trust actually have the energy and belief in what they want to achieve by actually getting off their derrieres and doing something about it. I’m not a member but I’m all for transparency between the Board and fans and if the CT can help improve this then what’s not to like.

Excellent points.
Here`s the question:
In the ? years of their existence can somebody provide a list of positive outcomes the Celtic trust have provided which have been to the benefit of Celtic F.C.
OR
What good have the Celtic trust been to Celtic?
Stringer the 90’s were indeed hard
It made 98 all the more sweeter
Loved buying NTV. So funny and was maybe the 1st mineshafters about
Whats the worst weather conditions CQNers have watched a Celtic game in.
I will raise you the midweek cup replay against the Sheeps at Dens Park 20 odd years ago.
Chuckin it down and we were in the uncovered end behind the goal
Sheeps were rounded up and fleeced though so a great night
macjay.11.06, i think that group are already there??
its called the Celtic Board
Hoopy do. Tannadice early 90’s was behind the goal and an inch of snow was on my heid Got pumped as well and poor billy McNeil got abuse at full time for his article in the sun the day before
Getting the old butterflies in my stomach as kick- off approaches. As many have pointed out Hibs kicked us off the park at Easter Road on our last visit and that was under Pat Fenlon. It’s Butcher today and he’s notorious for sending out his team to play like hammer throwers against us, so I hope our Bhoys are well well padded around their shins and ankles.
We have some big lads in our team and if Hibs don’t want to play football then I hope our players sort them out.
Hibs 0- 2 Celtic
The first 20 minutes of this is a revelation in Scottism Media terms…….anyone know who Frank is….some mhan……and Michael, who got a wee call (whisper)from sally……..he must have been terrified…….hahahahahahahahahaha

Morning from a dreich and dull South Staffordshire.
Skwerr sausages from the exotic location of a butchers in Tollcross Road, in Glasgow’s East End,have appeared in my fridge….courtesy of a near neighbour who was lucky enough to visit Paradise recently and brought a load home for his freezer.
Some people are all heart y’know, as he has brought his last 8 to me after the doctor warned him about his cholesterol level at his annual Body MOT and Service last week.Might even buy him some yoghurt as a thank you….haha.
Anyway,don’t know what excites me more……eating proper Skwerr sausages today or watching the bomb drop at Sevco by the end of this week,as they can’t meet their deadline for PAYE and VAT payments.
Keep your eye on the excellent Etims online this week Bhoys and Ghirls…….I reckon Ralph and Desimondo know something that they want to tell……hmmmmm
Sadie and Ernie
I love my club too much to cause further division and I am sensitive to the political views of others who do not share my views.
Unlike the Celtic trust who don`t give a damn about the views of Celtic supporters who don`t share their political views.
Hoopy do. I was in covered end at half way line. McClair scored a cracker up you end
Graham Spers cannot understand WHY sally gets an easy time from the media ….. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Mackay 1 indulge away…..

Why then do the Celtic trust support an organisation run by people with political views ,according to you, diametrically opposed to their own.
Hypocrisy?
