A cursory look at our fellow pot 4 Champions League teams shows the extent of the challenge. Six of the eight teams lost: Steaua Bucharest (3-0), Austrian Vienna (0-1), Celtic (2-0), Real Sociedad (0-2), Plzen (0-3), Anderlecht (2-0).
Copenhagen got one of the better results of the night, a 1-1 draw at home to Italian champions, Juventus, while Napoli, who split Juve and Milan in the Italian league last season, but are still a pot 4 team, recorded the only bottom tier win, a 2-1 victory over last season’s finalists, Borussia Dortmund.
Napoli are in a different category than the rest but Celtic are in with a decent chance of out-performing others from pot 4.
Sociedad’s home reversal to Shakhter Donetsk, who are going through a rebuilding process was a shock, but Valencia’s 0-3 Europa League defeat to Swansea indicates a worrying scenario for Spanish football below the uber-indebted Barca and Real Madrid. As a general rule, anything which undermines one of the economically powerful football nations should be welcomed by those disenfranchised by the size of their TV market (that’s us).
Shakhtar Karagandy put in a credible performance before going down 2-1 in Greece, a far better showing than Elfsborg’s 4-0 collapse in Salzburg. Best of luck to the Kazaks.
I’ve been going to the football long enough to remember black players being booed whenever they touched the ball. The phenomenon seemed to arrive here in the late 70s and faded around a decade later, although such is human nature I don’t think complacency is appropriate. Homophobia is a different matter.
‘Out’ gay footballers are so rare I don’t know what the reaction would be at a match but the crowd-bullying phenomenon which can exist in the game makes any minority vulnerable. The first step is to explain to the hard-of-thinking what they are doing, and the error of their ways.
Can rainbow coloured laces change the world? Stonewall have distributed rainbow coloured laces to every player in the UK, asking them to wear them this weekend. We’ll not see the WAGs acronym become WAGSABAH overnight but it feels like an appropriate, colourful, first step.
Keep reaching for that rainbow, Celtic.

Hi,folks.
Had a count on replies re the DAYOOOT rescheduling.
Including the ones that got mentioned on the blog it came to a three-way fight,the fourth was largely discounted I reckon as we’re going there later anyway.
Funnily enough,the result was in alphabetical order!
Don’t really want to divulge the venue on here,and difficult to send mail on the train. Service is abysmal.
Next week,folks,in time for kick-off be at option A
Special thanks to MORRISEY THE 23rd and MASTY who both came up wi brilliant alternatives.
Also CELTICROLLERCOASTER,but we expect that from him now!
Looking forward to HAPPY HOOPS when I hit Glasgow around 1730.
sipsini
No i never missed his post.
Surely you would think when a shareholder points out to him that they have’nt had a reply at all, the 1st thing you would do is look for his details and send a two word response ?
If he’s struggling with 3 PC’s why not put it all on one PC ………………….ffs it’s no rocket science.
Or is it !

If you don’t like what I post I promise you I won’t be offended if you just scroll on by. Honest.
However, I’d rather you did do what you think is the right thing to do by Celtic and the future generations and then if you still wanted to scroll on by then again I promise you I won’t be offended.
“Get off my soap box”? Mate, I’m only telling you and others what I fear, I’m not grandstanding, I can’t be fecked with that crap but come on, you’ve gotta agree with me a wee bit there does seem to be an alarming amount of apathy going on. And if it is not ‘apathy’ then maybe you’re right, maybe I’m just pissin in the wind and I should just go away.

And here was me thinking I was doing Canamalar a favour and maybe that some wee cqn colleen would appreciate his profile and we would have had our first big cqn wedding :-)

You know summat?
I don’t even know you,have no intentions of doing so,and really only reposted that in case anyone missed why you are universally despised on here.
You really must watch FILTH when it comes out.
It will be like looking in a mirror.
Big Georges Fan Club:
Mate, you’re a Celtic Supporter, not a rich one and we have that both in common, I’ll make you this offer mate, I’ll buy you the required 100 shares if you’ll use those shares to do the best by Celtic and all Celtic Supporters, living, dead, or yet to be born.
I don’t want shares in Celtic but I’d be happy if a real Celtic Supporter like you would do the needful.

Sorry, George. That won’t wash.
Shares cost around 64 pence each.
There is no minimum number required to support Canamalar.
There is nothing but APATHY that prevents ANYBODY from being involved.
Good Luck,
I’m straight out the door now for the game.
Croppybhoy,
The parents in Milngavie and Bearsden should not have to make a choice in relation to Secondary education, there should be a Catholic Secondary school in the area, which I believe was campaigned for a while back.
Now instaed of this we are I believe fighting for the future of Catholic education in Scotland. This will be a pivotal decision on our children’s future.

How much would it cost to buy shares ? I don’t know anything about this type of thing & don’t have a lot of spare money but would like to support the guy as its a good idea

To be honest I was’nt expecting a reply.
I just thought canamalar was making a stance that I agreed with.
He’s put his own time into it and for that I will respect him.
cliftonville celt:
That nutter ACGR was on the phone to me half the night, and never once did he offer me a drop of the whisky he was drinking, and he told me it would cost me between 60 to 70 pounds. (bear in mind you can always cash them back in less fees of around a fiver)
I just think it is our time, if we don’t at least try now, if we can, then God above forgive me.

Sorry but either Catholic education is important or local education is important!
You cannot have it both ways
In the past Catholic parents made huge sacrifices to ensure their children had access to Catholic education
Catholic parents have the choice of sending their children to the local nondenominational
Primary but prefer the local Catholic school
What changes when they reach secondary age?
Same choice -but most choose the non Catholic school -even although they are provided with free transport to their local Cathoilc secondary
Smacks of snobbery to me
HH
croppybhoy
Could it be the dsitance Milngavie to Kirkie is a fair trek ? And some may have to use public transport for days when local appointments have to be attended.
I’m off to the game guys. Lucky me 30 minutes on the choo-choo and I’m there !
croppybhoy – you’re out of order, really out of order.

I wasn’t worrying… Do you worry every time you put your PIN number in?
Like yourself I’ve backed canamalar on this, we did it for a reason.
There’s no point in arguing about responses.HH

The Frankfurt School and the War on the West
By Bill Muehlenberg on May 11th, 2009.
———————————————————————————————————
Every now and again you get a thunderbolt of a wake up call among the posts on here from people who are clearly better read in certain subjects than I……this is one of them!
The list of objectives is as true of the Body Politic in 2013 as it was in 1926.
“1. The Creation Of Racism Offences.
2. Continual Change To Create Confusion.
3. The Teaching Of Sex And Homosexuality To Children.
4. The Undermining Of Schools’ And Teachers’ Authority.
5. Huge Immigration To Destroy Identity.
6. The Promotion Of Excessive Drinking.
7. Emptying Of Churches.
8. An Unreliable Legal System With Bias Against Victims Of Crime.
9. Dependency On The State Or State Benefits.
10. Control And Dumbing Down Of Media.
11. Encouraging The Breakdown Of The Family.”
It almost looks like the manifesto of all the major parties…..who incidentally are controlled by “unseen” hands anyway.
Enjoy

Lovely weather, nice course and decent crowds.

Any team news??
A bit of help required, can get CQN on my phone (Samsung Wave) but can’t get any internet access on Mini ipad. There appears to be wifi in the hospital but nothing happens when I try to get on virgin tv anywhere, I’ve even got the password for the wifi but don’t even get the option to use it.
ClimbingthewallsCSC
1. Can anyone point me to the petition to keep St Joseph’s Primary in Milngavie?
2.To support Canamalar would cost approx £60 for 100 shares. After the AGM you can cash them in. You might make a profit or have lost the price of a pint. I cannot for the life of me understand why we can’t get 100 to support him.
PS I’ve been in months ago

Hi Bobby,
Have a safe journey home and i hope you’ve got a huge kerry oot to while away the time! Have a lovely time with your folks and friends this evening.
Thank you for articulating what i was thinking. I have been insenced reading the blog back this morning which is something for a big girl’s blouse like me (aye ok BSR, a wee girl’s blouse :)). I was about to post a lot of invective but i believe you saved me from being banned.
Big Nan 13:13
I signed the petition last week and I’ve been gently (?) encouraging others to follow suit.
To all of the people on here who are taking time and effort to campaign against injustice, my heartfelt gratitude
