Strathclyde Police seem unprepared to decommission the loose cannon that is providing the regular leaks of largely inaccurate information about Celtic fans to the press. The country’s largest police force have become a regular source of material and hilarity for our media, perhaps best illustrated by their unattributed comment to the Scotland on Sunday, suggesting they plan to “smash the Irish Republican, Marxist, Green Brigade”.
While the police officially claim “these comments do not reflect the view of the Force” the damage is already done. The stage is set for an inevitable confrontation by a group of supporters who now believe they are being unfairly picked upon (for being Marxist, good grief, I thought they all shaved and suited-up under Tony, including the men!), and a police force, which employs someone who has told the press they are picking on the Green Brigade and which is asked by the Government to challenge pro-IRA chanting.
All political chanting must stop, of course, but I don’t fancy being an officer on the ground who has to pick up the pieces after a very loose tongue has set a scene for confrontation.
Make no mistake, the police are being laughed at by grateful recipients of their media comments, who cannot believe the utter naivety of the Pitt St operation, I have heard this laughter first hand from more than one journo, but the consequences of such dire behaviour will be severe.
I would like to thank everyone who bid on the ebay auction for the Jimmy Johnstone medal. I’m really pleased to let you know that the medal has been withdrawn from sale. Thanks again and sorry if you had already bid.
We are not short of history at Celtic, but there are very few occasions a unique memento of the Greatest Ever Celt becomes available. The medal is a 47-year-old slice of Celtic folklore, check it out on ebay.

Best night in years……………..for Malorbhoy,
Bma’s 50.
An I’m not goin to be there on Saturday…………………..
Bma. Mon the hoops
Never met a white person, do they exist?
If so, why are they not called coloured?
The Exiled Tim a racist?
Get real,anyone who thinks that knows nowt about him. I know him well enough to know he doesn’t need my help in this or any matter,but sometimes the ridiculous has to be shot to pieces by as many people as possible.

We are all ignorant about many topics. I more than most. I was using the word to mean lack of knowledge and not, as I feel you may have interpreted my posts, to suggest that you are thick.
Just to be clear, I dont think you lack intelligence and I haven’t accused you of being a racist. If you are a black man then I’m not sure you can be!
I said that if you used those words to refer to a black person then many would interpret that as a racist comment!
You still haven’t answered my question about the midfield formation for saturday!

FCD,
your thinking about pinkos, surely
Green Oak Tree
canamalar was right, I said something that some numpty has taken up in his head and jumbled the words up to suit himself and try to discredit me, and call me a racist.
I have NEVER called anyone out for the colour of their skin, I call out pleanty of white trash because they are trash, they are theifs and liers and con men, and I will call them out over it time and time again.
People who come on to the blog have a purpose, and some come on here to agitate, or whatever, they unfortunatly are not as smart as they think they are, they try to twist your words, they try to say you say things you don’t, as I said I ain’t that dipso.
When I was growing up, we all had nick names like your pal Hon, all our family had nicknames of birds, nothing was meant by it, it was fact, like Sammy was called Sammy the Darkie cos he was black, if he had been green he would have been called Sammy the Green most likely.
No a racist bone in my body mi amigo, and some tell me to get educated and I am ignorant.

Celtic Census – leading to the free membership scheme
Simply taking part in the census gets you a Celtic SmartCard (CSC)
Then have a couple other levels of member ship – top being no more than £5 per month
All the Celtic Census would need is a couple of days web development and marketed, there is enough online marketing available, street fans could register at games/shops/get Nike to include in all merchandise, irrespective where sold.
There is many ways to do this – run the Census for 1 month after a big campaign running for a few months, first 10k applicants get special card.
No fee for first year, it could fund itself through commission. There is massive potential with this and we have plenty experts.
The biggest thing will be ensuring we reach as wide an audience as possible to complete the Celtic Census.

On the 12th of August past I received an e-mail from Celtic asking if I would be willing to show my support for the club by joining the new membership scheme, I am sure many others received similar e-mails. I think that guy auldheid does not sleep, he has been pushing this for ages.
Of course it goes without saying I’d join as long as there is meaning and value.

Hi Kitalba
Can you enlighten me? What was the objective of the new membership scheme and what became of it?
I received no such e-mail. Very curious.
ok wee joke then offsky….
A woman goes to her doctor’s office,to discuss a strange development.
She has discovered a green spot on the inside of each thigh.
They won’t wash off, they won’t scrape off, and they seem to be getting worse.
The doctor assures her he’ll get to the bottom of the problem, and tells her
not to worry until he gets the tests back.
A few days later, the woman’s phone rings. Much to her relief, it’s the doctor.
She immediately begs to know what’s causing the spots.
The doctor says, “You’re perfectly healthy–there’s no problem.
But I’m wondering, is your boyfriend a Harley guy?”
The woman stammers, “Why, Yes, but how did you know?”
“Tell him his earrings aren’t real gold.”
I wonder how many diet Huns will become full-fat for free in January

No,not the address of the Aberdeen Longshoremens Association,though it is, but today’s weather forecast.
Have a care,folks….
Good morning friends from a very wet and extremely blustery dark and wintery East Kilbride.

I see the MBB has decided to postpone again the Huns’ AGM.
It’s now 6 months overdue, and leaves him liable to fines and sanctions should a minor shareholder complain.
It’s another fiasco to add to the litany of disasters Whyte has presided over, joining the small tax case debacle, the two court cases from former directors, the numerous court actions by respected suppliers, the emergency “payday” loan from Close Brothers, and numerous public transfer shambles.
Again, it is worth comparing the press treatment of this charlatan to that meted out to Fergus McCann, arguably the most successful owner of a Scottish football club in modern times.
There’s a new RTC blog.
Top of the morning to you all from a black pre-dawn Fife. The weather is mild and the wind has started to freshen.
All schools in Fife are apparently being shut from noon today in advance of the severe weather that is to come this afternoon. I have seen reports of winds up to 100mph expected and heavy snow with it.
People should be prepared for the worst but I feel that sometimes the forecast is a bit dramatic so that the weather people can never be caught out like poor old Michael Fish was.
Hope this doesn’t turn out as forecast or there will be damage and loss of life.
Good morning CQN

Good morning fellow Celts from a fresh and breezy North Hampshire
Sounds like it’s brewing up a storm back home..take care folks.
Watching the young bhoys beat a talented but indisciplined Marseille 3-0 last night -good to see so much skill in so many positions. The focus on keeping the ball was evident; the willingness to give and receive it when under pressure, was a joy to watch….that takes bravery, confidence and high levels of skill. Also good discipline when Marseille started dishing it out. Ethos, organisation and massive team spirit indicating credit due to the management team.
Well done to the brave souls who turned up at Paradise to cheer them on and at the other games in the section. Methinks you have been well rewarded for your efforts.
Comparisons with the Quality Street kids of my youth in the 60’s and 70’s, seem to be well founded. The heirs to the mighty legacy of Connolly, Hay, McGrain, Macari and Dalglish (Vic Davidson anyone?) are filling the Celtic jersey with honour.
It would be unfair to single out any player for praise, they were all superb, and given the age of current first team, some if these young bhoys can become first team players this term or next.
Hopefully, that means Lenny can afford to be very demanding of his first team players…secure in the knowledge they can be replaced with some confidence.
Did I forget to say how impressed I was? …I strongly urge you to catch them on CelticTV replay when you can. These bhoys will warm your heart on a cold winter’s day.
Can we play them v Udinese…only half-joking :-)
The future is Green and White
