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 I’m really pleased to let you know that the medal has been withdrawn from sale.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.

ernie-Strange rule,if it is the case an “offer” cannot be increased(i thought maximum was a 3 game ban),it will be open to appeal and “negotiation” masonic style.
Half day beckons.
What to do?

Photo evidence can be doctored, video evidence muuuuch tougher. Even though the beeb wiil probably have tried.
2 game ban will stick, in a way I hope it doesn’t as I so want us all to come on and rant and go nuts. (it’s my favorite thing)
Celtic supporter Jim McIntyre sent to Bar L..

Sun and blue skies on the south side of Glasgow. Sun in December and everyone is complaining about a bit of wind?
Seems like Craig Whyte is admitting he is going to break company law by not having an AGM before 31/12. Unfortunately I don’t think the penalty si too severe. He can just add it to his big stack of unpaid bills.
‘He’ll win us some free kicks’
Isn’t that one of Sally’s favourite phrases and what does that say about the way they approach things?
I reckon Aluko will get the Boogie/Diouff treatment today, and the Pars boss will get punished for telling the truth about the referee.
As they will be up before a player-manager-ref jury consisting of Naisy, Butcher and Dallas, it’s probable that the famous Glesga Gers will be awarded 3 points (in addition to the extra 2 acquired last matchday) and McIntyre will have one ball surgically removed.
IMHO
I think he’s a dead man walking, oconnor got off and if he gets off aswell then there is no point in this new panel.
If he got off then I’m afraid that panel will have to go and i can’t see Mr Regan allowing this to happen just a thought though.
Nothing beats a wee conspiracy for all the hun lurkers lol.

The origonal RAW digital file can not be doctored.
When changes are made to an original RAW file a new file is saved that contains changes made to raw. The original is never ever changed.
Any professional photographer worth his salt will either set his/her equipment to capture a RAW file or at worst set their camera to save both RAW and JPEG.
However it can be deleted like the data re the sectarian attacks.

Your knowledge never fails to amaze me old bhoy.
Might i suggest you tell the judging panel that?

‘He’ll win us some free kicks’
He should have added ‘due to the fact we don’t really score from open play’

Only one more working day till Celtic are back in Paradise, if it wasn’t for the dodgy footprint I’d do a wee strictly dance on the way home.
Same picture in the Evening Times on Dec 6. Hand not at all clear.

It’s a brisk walk from Stockwell, a few steps more from Vauxhall (2 mins on 87 bus) and on the rail network Wandsworth Road station is closest.
The ole ‘Frozen Planet’ is fantastic TV, entertaining and educational in the best BBC tradition.
Although goin’ by what ole Dave was saying last night it’s not going to be frozen for much longer.
Anyways, stars of the show for me were the musk oxen, of Mo Bangura tribute hairstyle fame.
Just got the Christmas lights out there, they remind me so much of huns, they’re all twisted, half the feckers dont work and they all look better hanging from a tree!!
G’day Celts, que pasa? Or
What larks in Larkie?
It’s reasonable to expect Coisty to cheat the appeals panel by using a doctored (DBBIA see whit I did there) photie, after all it was Coisty that ahem! Coached his diving star in the first place.
Anyway it wasnt a dive, that was a piece of art!

I was home in January and took some pictures in the Toon and at Carfin where I grew up if you click on my user name you can see them.
The excitement I used to have when my Mum said we’re going to Glasgow has never worn off, I’m still the same when I come up from the Argyll street Station.
Glasgow is a one off place, looking forward to be home in the new year..
Hail Hail
If theyre not appealing to uefa…its sfa…or sticking their faces into the faces of the refs….intimidating their opponents…they certainly know nothing other than cheating……..cheerio you wont be missed
