Protecting Celtic from inappropriate behaviour

157
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

After all the talk about derby games without away fans taking an edge away, that scenario seems more attractive.  With the indiscipline that Newco brought to the recent Women’s and B squad games against their Celtic equivalents, it is fortuitous that there will be no away fans at Celtic Park on Saturday.

Hopefully the expected lack of an edge will assist visitors who represent their club to refrain from the excesses which have followed them when facing green and white hoops.  These incidents have real life consequences and not only for their immediate victims.  What is permitted at the top of the club is seen as an example by those further down the food chain.

Celtic staff and players at all levels have a right to be protected from any sustained inappropriate behaviour.

    Celtic F.C History

     

    How The Famous Club Had Its Origin

     

    By Alec, S. Maley

     

    (Ex Manager, Clyde, Clydebank, And Hibernians

     

     

    From a fleeting thought, born deep love and sympathy for the poor and often starving children in the East End of Glasgow, emerged the Celtic Football Club, which today stands pre-eminent in Scottish football.

     

    How Celtic Originated

     

     

    In this short series a few only a few of the outstanding stages of its history will be touched upon. I have no desire to raise any controversy, only to state what my memory forces me to believe to be facts.

     

     

    It is right and proper that the credit for the birth of the club should go to Brother Walfrid a member of the Marist Order, who taught in the East End of the city. Having sad experience of the misery in that district, his heart was torn at conditions which he continually slaved to alleviate.

     

     

    The wonderful enthusiasm among Glasgow Irishmen which greeted the victory of the Hibernians in the Scottish Cup Final of 1887, when they defeated Dumbarton at Hampden by two goals to one, gave him an idea, which he almost immediately dismissed as ridiculous.

     

     

    But it kept recurring in his mind, and finally he broached it to several gentlemen who were zealous members of the St Vincent de Paul Society in St. Mary’s parish.

     

    To Feed the Starving Bairns

     

     

    Look what the Hibernians have done. Why shouldn’t we start an Irish club in Glasgow, and make enough money to feed these starving children, among whom I work, was his plea and so a start was made.

     

     

    Many players were sounded but the response was not encouraging, as most of them were chary of identifying themselves with an unknown organisation. Just when the position appeared to be hopeless a suggestion was made that Tom Maley should be approached.

     

     

    He was at that time playing for Third Lanark- then the 3rd L.R.V. It was immediately acted upon, and a deputation proceeded to Cathcart to interview the young athlete and his father on the subject.

     

     

    The difficulty was at once surmounted as a hearty welcome was extended, and besides enlisting one whose personality was at once a guarantee of integrity and earnest endeavour, the assistance of his younger brother Willie, just beginning to show marked ability in the game was obtained.

     

    A Visit That Is History

     

     

    What that visit meant to the Celtic Club, to football in Scotland, aye and elsewhere, I leave my readers to judge, as besides getting the inspiration to go ahead the services were enrolled of one who was later to add lustre to the club’s name on the playing field and athletic arena as a legislator, and as a controller of its destiny.

     

     

    I refer to Mr.William Maley, the secretary and manager, who has never been of office from the club’s inception. Soon the ground at Dalmarnock Street was knocked into shape, what time eager young fellows were busily training in the hope of being included in the team.

     

     

    Numerous practice games were held and a constitution was drawn up. Today it makes interesting reading. Eleven gentlemen formed the first committee, and the original members paid an annual subscription of 5 shillings. A new member had to hand over an additional 2s 6d on joining, one black ball in four debarred him.

     

     

    It was laid down that the club, officially born in December, 1887, had as its principal object to maintain the fund for providing dinners to poor children at school in the three East End parishes of Glasgow.

     

     

    To this end it devoted £5 per week, and it is interesting to know that in 1888-89 over £500 was disbursed in charity in addition to the dinner table fund, £400 being given in the following season, and £500 in 1890-91.

    Hope everyone in the standing area has their paper ticket for the game, you need that to get into the ground and pass the stewards at the stairwell.

     

     

    I assume the club have enough sense to invalidate the plastic ST or that would be really pointless 🤔

  20. Jimmy Bones on

    I don’t believe in coincidence! Park stepping down a week after Sevco again failed to file accounts in time & borrowed/begged another couple of £ million from an unknown benefactor.

  22. Coneybhoy on

    Thanks Ron Dip

     

     

    Some of my mates get influenced by the Union Flag window but that’s pretty traditional for an older pub

     

     

    I reckon we will be celebrating and you should Dip in here more often- man, that was bad😎

    Word of the day is ‘sequacity’ (17th century): the slavish following of a person or cause without any independent thought or judgement.

    Stepping down from chairman of The Rangers is very much like making love to a beautiful woman.

     

    You realise you are out of your depth, struggle to rise to the challenge, eventually blow your wad and run away

     

     

    Douglas ‘Swiss Tony’ Park

    military language used by DR –

     

     

    ‘Douglas Park steps down as Rangers chairman with John Bennett moving up in shock changing of the guard’

    that was comedy gold.

  35. itscalledthemalvinas on

    Mal is sick and tired

     

    of Celtic ramming 4 and 5 goals past the Old Firm every time they appear at Celtic park.

     

    Dead on Mal you bigot

    Tiny Tim & Saint Tams…

     

     

    Celtic have a new first team scout from the City Group – Joe Dudgeon.

     

     

    Looks like Ange knows him

     

     

    That Brendan MacFarlane seems to know his stuff, wonder if he was regarded as too specialist or too expensive or maybe a combination of both

     

     

    You’d expect a good scout to be making a club multiples of their salary though

     

     

    Hail Hail

  37. Coneybhoy on

    I met the City scout for Ireland before Christmas. Interesting guy

     

     

    I posted before that he liked Lawwell, said the son is learning his trade and we were unlucky to miss out on the Irish procurement guy(forget his name)

     

     

    We agreed that the national youth development scheme in Ireland will be great for the national team(a few local lads in Leixlip in the national set up)

     

     

    Scotland have a similar but smaller scale Excellence programme but i’m not sure it’s as radical

  38. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Sevco’s latest 7.7m (£1.93m) share allotment.

     

     

    4m to John Halsted

     

    1m to George Letham

     

    0.45m to Bennett

     

    2.3m to less than 3% holders

     

     

    Stories have abounded for a couple of years that “chins” wasn’t prepared to invest any more.

     

     

    Significance will emerge eventually

     

    (though not via the SMSM).

     

     

    PS – Anyone else’s interest piqued by the revelation of 2.3m shares to small shareholders?

     

     

    Has the board done a deal with the chumps … er … grass roots constituency being courted by a certain glib and shameless liar?

    B2B

     

     

    It has to be Klub1692. Ditch the head of the snake, replace with another snakehead but throw some sweeties of extra power to ra peepul

     

     

    All snakiness though at Castle Greyskull😎

    Turkeybhoy enjoy every minute. Seems like yesterday when I had 90 glorious party filled minutes last September in the Jock Stein stand watching us hump the Huns 4-0. I will be happy with any win but a good skelping will put them back in the kennel. Have fun anyway. Glasgow is Green and White. Hail Hail. Taurangabhoy.

  42. Saint Stivs on

    Watching the Trump circus.

     

     

    The guy looks less orange, less fat, with a slightly better haircut.

     

     

    However, he looks more sinister and absolutely fizzing.

     

     

    The interviews with his followers reminds me of the day Rangers died and that collection of misfits at the Edwardian toilet block.

     

     

    Anyone got a spare Bison heid
