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 I’m really pleased to let you know that the medal has been withdrawn from sale.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

As THM said Stockwell, the shortcut takes you down Paradise Road and across Larkhall Park. The whatabouttery route you could call it. Not far but easy to get lost first time so worth printing a google map, look forward to seeing you there.
Starry Plough,

not a big enough tide?
Where did Saddam Hussein keep his CD’s?

No bother, Other people that turn up on occasions include CQN’s Rodow (although he appears to be under the thumb now), Thunder Road and London Dhave. It’s not as busy as other tim pubs, there is a broad spectrum of regulars at the pub including Chelsea fans but always good company and always good conversations on the go plus the landlord is a good Tim.
canamalar.
I almost forgot Brixtoncelt who is a regular now.
Hail hail.

‘BTW It was not a case of prevarication – I was making a specific point – my taxes aren’t allocated to specfic things and nor are the Huns. I still struggle to see your point with regard to the the Huns taxes paid or didn’t pay*.’
We all know that taxes aren’t hypothecated, that’s not the point.
The point is that by avoiding/evading/minimising tax the huns have reduced the amount of money available to the exchequer, albeit, in the over all scheme of things by a minuscule amount. The amount available to provide protection for soldiers is thereby reduced, and the risk to soldiers is increased accordingly.
What the huns are undoubtedly guilty of is hypocrisy which as good old Marx said is the worst of all vices.
THM/Tooting Tim,
Cheers ghents, hopefully meet you then.
hail hail

Are you trying to say Airdrie’s full of artful dodgers?
Oh Starry was in Dalston two days ago for the first time in years.
Boy has it gone up-market.
E.g. the local pub’s principle commercial activity is now selling beer, as opposed to offering harbour to packs of wholesaling dealers.
Um there’s cashpoints, coffee bars, a tube station, development, middle-class kids.
All change.
Ridley Road 24-hour Beigel Store still going strong thankfully…

I’m on series 2 thanks to Sannabhoy (oh and thanks for the tunes as an extra lol)
BB is gripping.

TBB – I am not surprised one iota at that. In fact I would be surprised if they didn’t ask for that. We are talking a considerable sum of money and a delinquent payer….

I watched last week as well, it’s alright, the clobber was spot on!!
Aye Daslton is a posh gaff now, when Amadeus lived there in the early 80’s it was still totally mental, there used to be a blinding reggae night up there in one of the pubs, orginal skinhead guy used to do the music, top drawer, Shoreditch too now is totally changed, London has gone right upmarket in the ghetto!!
The Udinese game sounds like good crack in your gaff wish I could be there..

‘Poster on KDS suggesting Celtic have informed the Orcs that it’s cash up front if they want their ticket allocation for the game on the 28th’
Celtic would be failing in their duties to the shareholders to hand over tickets without money up front given Lord Hodge’s view on the possibility of them going bust.
You’re talking about the thick end of half a million pounds.
You could buy a lot of things with that sort of dough, especially nowadays, when you can buy Scotland’s second largest institution for £1.

TBB that’s exactly what CFC should be doing, does this mean there will be no Huns in paradise :>)
even more tickets for the tax payers (thumbs up)
V
How much would the huns tickets be worth?
The Battered Bunnet,
I hope we are asking for cash up front. If not we could find ourselves as a creditor at some stage.
If they don’t pay up I’m sure we can sell the tickets!

Well done !! Do we have an answer on the phone box yet or have I missed it ?
Afternoon bhoys, warm, sun is out and it’s hun free.
Re the derby tickets.
Did the club not issue a statement last week saying both the hun clubs have asked Celtic to issue the tickets themselfs ?
