According to their manager, Newco are doing just fine, better then fine, in fact, it’s just that Celtic are fabulous (my interpretation, not a direct quote).
He spoke in response to fan protests at their game against Kilmarnock. Apparently, after “55” (cough) they took their eye off the ball.
Mick Beale has a point. Celtic are fabulous, Newco win their first Scottish Cup and reached a European final; overachieving by any measure. But fans cannot be placated when losing.
It’s easy to see the folly in others. The Newco board are far from the worst option the club has. Change may not be their friend. There are zero options for stopping Celtic short of another random season. This is due future fans need to get on board or there will be a lot of banners. Protests because of Celtic could become a regular fixture.

Really don’t get the fixation with the scum, honestly. I can assure you no one hates them and their establishment pals more than I.
I reckon the best thing we can do is just IGNORE them.

I refrained from mentioning the disastrous appointment of Neil Lennon and the absolutely amateurish attempt at recruitment for the managerial post.”
Aye but Pedro only wanted the best for us…….unforgivable appointment.
“I can assure you no one hates them and their establishment pals more than I.”
That’s not true! No one can hate them more than I do. I hate them to the outer edges of the universe and back.
Twice.
Mackenzie Carse channels his inner Hatate. Good bhoy! 2up at Auchenhowie.
Joey Dawson doubles. Good bhoy! 3up, half an hour to play.

Well for all you anti Timbhoy163 fans especially STSTIVES ,at least I get responses,rather than talking about COVID ,or the late Bobby Sands ,ok then put the shoe on the other foot ,what changes would some of you like to see happening in and outside Celtic Park ,
Hot Smoked 4.03.
I think there is a need and that need is to keep pointing the bias/cheating at every opportunity in the hope that , eventually, it will seep into the national conscience.
I would also keep pointin to its existence and origins too HS,of both their clubs.is that in the national conscience? Sear it in,minty owns their liquidation,there appears some difficult denial overcoming that eh :-)) from £4.6m to 100 pence to £100,000,000 possibly in malicious prosecutions damage.self harm the journey :-)
Hopefully cross paths wed night

Hot smoked
My only build on your argument would be to point out that with no real domestic challenge for 4 years then stepping up to winning in Europe against decent opposition was never going to be easy.
Likewise recruiting decent players in those early years post Huns liquidation to play in such a poor standard of competition is another factor.
Finally recruiting any manager to come in and compete with a Stephen Gerard infused challenge whilst following in the footsteps of Sinatra (Brendan) was never going to be easy. Lennon new the ropes and didn’t let us down for 8.
It maybe that keeping him for 9 and beyond was not correct. I would say that WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT I would concede to the anti Lawwell fanatics on that point.
Its one thing to hate anything called Rangers, but who hates Peter Lawwell and Neil Lennon the most ?
would anyone admit they stopped going to celtic park during the seasons when there was not a Rnagers to play ?

“ok then put the shoe on the other foot ,what changes would some of you like to see happening in and outside Celtic Park ,”
I quite fancy a floating pitch and a casino, oh wait
Held on for a Glasgow Cup win. Well played Celts.
Adam Brooks had a 4th in the net, scrubbed for offside. We made a young team younger with three substitutions, then lost a goal to end at 1-3. Followed from the b club twitter account.
why have they less money than us ?
if they went bankrupt, don’t they start again?
Season tickets are less but they have had 2 long runs in the EL
Their contracts and merchandising are a mess –
does that explain it all or are we just run well!
genuinely clueless about all this stuff but it’s clear that someone there is limiting their spend.

Jackiemac,
there is a theory, that finally they actually do have to live within their means within the framework of financial fair play rules, which ofccourse is masterminded by by Peter Lawwell
Tom McL..,
I’d consider them the elite football players in Scotland, I’m surprised you don’t.
Celtic top of the league.
Highest goalscoring rate in many a long year.
an exciting brand of football that could be seen as playing the glasgow celtic way.
A sprinkling of top level footballers,
retention of the league cup.
a manager going nowhere
highest average attendance in 22 years
the ladies team win the scottish cup
the b team just beat the huns version.
i demand to know why the chips are cold there is no hot water, that dermo gets in for nothing, and that peter lawwell is back.
bloody shite being a celtic supporter just now.
We all desperately want to see us having a good European run, and hopefully it will happen next Season but I for one to my dying day will never tire of us winning League Titles & skelping the Huns,
The buzz I’m getting week after week watching our present team is keeping me young at heart, yet some ghuys come on here and just moan & moan, obviously they are entitled to, but I just can’t understand the mindset,
About to win 11 Titles in 12 years , The Style of Football we are playing, the Manager we have, everything about this team makes me happy,
TIMBHOY163
When you see all the big clubs in England and Europe where the teams are lining up before a game, invariably they are standing in a spacious area where there is room to breath.
Compare and contrast with Celtic Park where two narrow corridors converge and substitutes have to squeeze past teammates to get to the technical area.
We have to flatten and rebuild the South Stand to the same level as the other 3 stands. As it stands — pun intended — it is a disgrace and an embarrassment, especially on big European nights. Even the dressing rooms leave a lot to be desired.

I’d like to see similar, I think we should turn the pitch 90* and make the stadium 100K. The slope of the Celtic way could be turned into underground parking with the south stand built over the top of it. Big project but would allow expansion for the future.

———–
Fair point. What is a fact is that from the Jock Stein stand we looked across the pitch at the covered top Lisbon Lions stand.
Incidentally, the bhoys and ghirls in the lower Jock Stein stand renewed their season tickets year in year out during this time.
The same stand and supporters that some Celtic fans want to disperse as they endulge in a “take over” greater standing area.

I and my 2 sons had season tickets for the South Stand lower during the Deila years and relocated to the Jock Stein lower when Brendan arrived and are still there to this day.
Just watching Matt O’Riley being questioned during news conference, on question was,
Hi Matt, do you enjoy playing in the big games against the bigger teams and in cup quarter finals and the like.
Seriously, I was hoping he’d say, naw, its shite.
FFS what goes through these people heeds.
Paul has to write a new leader every second day. No matter what he writes the first 10 responders will introduce six new themes unrelated to the leader theme written by Paul (and/or his friends).
So why do people bother to pull him up because it is not an exclusively intra-Celtic theme? Why not respond to one of the other 5 or so themes that meet your approval? Why join in with the one you don’t like when you have the option of not responding or scrolling by or, far better, introduce a topic yourself?
How would you feel if a contributor only ever came on here to complain of one of your posts? Why treat the host so badly? If he has written something inaccurate, feel free to correct him. If his opinion offends you, feel free to explain why but as for, “Don’t ever talk about thems!”- don’t be daft!
If Paul were not to raise something about Rangers/Sevco then someone will – even in the course of a leader where he is talking about the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
They are of interest to us. We talk about them all the time. There is no holier-than-thou status to be gained from saying “I never talk about them”- even if that is true for you.
Other blogs have tried that line out that CQN talks too much of Rangers/Sevco but will then blithely award themselves a bye when they introduce the self same topic.
Far too much bitchiness between blogs and bloggers- talk about what you like- except racist and misogynist views and Paul’s other restriction – bad language.
And let Paul live or die by the same restrictions and allowances you give yourselves

Thanks for updates.
Always good to beat them in any shape or form.
TOM MCLAUGHLIN on 7TH MARCH 2023 5:29 PM
I agree with most of that.
The South stand has 3 distinct construction years,
The old main stand of 1929 is still the load bearing walls inside the very core of the construction, as is the embankment/cycle track which was underneath the old front enclosure but also forms the slope for the wings of front stand of 1971. So the original facade is still inside the front door of celtic park. The 1986 expansion i have never really liked it is ugly but the old facade could be opened up to become a feature inside a new glass structure.
So, aye, lets build new, but dont knock it all down, lets reconfigure the layout.
Go for the “new celtic end” – all standing in the JS lower from corner to corner.
relocate dressing rooms and hosting space to the South West corner and use the tunnel there as an entrance to the park. Imagine running out in front of 12,000 standing supporters.
In that corner host the Kano Foundation, free gratis for ever, for a few hundred kids every game, as they do today, but with even more support. and closest to the players coming in and out.
Add the underground bus tunnel for vips, from london road new hotel car park to the south west corner.
then refurbish lower front stand, then upper stand, over two seasons.
The new roof should be pitched in a way to handle hundreds of solar panels to generate hot water and for powering the pie ovens. Several appropriate sized turbines around perimeters, in green and white and known as the celtic windmills which can be seen for miles around
The other corner vacated by Green brigade and the rest of the north curve, retain half the rail seats, but make it completely dedicated to the less abled supporters and their support members, make that world class experience, with its own parking behind the stand. all for blue (or green) badge holders
Build over the current main stand like Liverpool and several others now have done. Adding approx 18,000 new seats and two levels of hospitality suites and lounges.
Build a replica of the old pavilion at the North West Corner, a nod to the founders , but make it a visitor experience, a complete replica inside and out but serving food in a unique setting.
I could cost t up at around 200 million, but i would need someone in the business to really do the feasability study, if only Mad Mitch contructors was available.
3 years planning, financing and buidling, end with an 80,000 capcity like dortmund
Think big or go home
Apart from the team, what should rangers do to improve the stadium inside and outside?

let in more celtic supporters, build a chapel like barcelona and resell the old debenture seats to the peepul
“did your granda promise a hand me down forever yours seats in the iconic cant see all the pitch club deck known as Murrays erection but for some reason you never got it ?
well now with new tehnolgoy advancement we cant retrace your ancestry and offer up the original seat for the give away sum of 5,000 of his majestys pounds, for this you and a grandas name can be added to the seat, like a bench on greenock esplanade to remember all those no longer with us, a fitting tribute dignified and ancient
