Sensational Celtic remains sound business plan

964

You know a transfer window approaches when practically every media outlet has a story on Celtic are set to lose an important player.  Transfer stories are one of the most reliable commercial ventures in business.  They require no effort to produce, or recopy, as most outlets appear to, do not need to lead anywhere, but income per word read brings in more advertising revenue than anything else the UK media.

The premise that Sir Alex Ferguson has shared his plans to sell and then buy with an external party is ridiculous.  The distraction this can cause to Celtic players is merely a by product.

Ordered the CQN Annual yet? Get it here in time for Christmas!

Those who comment on our game do manage to contort themselves sometimes.  Sky TV convinced themselves Arbroath manager Paul Sheerin’s demonstrable angst at full time last night was in connection to his side’s disallowed goal.  A less animated Paul then explained his actions were frustration at only having three minutes added time.  If he wants to get more TV time he’d better follow the script – be angry at Celtic!

The moment Neil Lennon’s interview ended Sky cut across him to assure us Lassad’s disallowed goal was offside (which it was).  They acknowledged Keddie’s arm around the neck of Fraser Forster for the Arbroath ‘goal’ but were unable to confirm this was against the rules.

Football rules are very confusing, after all, but the rules on how the media make money out of Celtic remain the same.

We have not discussed Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas for a couple of days.  This single is going to position Celtic Charity and the 125 4 125 campaign in a prime spot across the nation.  You and I need to get involved THIS WEEK to raise the profile as high as possible ahead of the Christmas chart.

  1. I see the MOD have replied to a poster on TSFM regarding the Remembrance Day fiasco at Ibrox and they aren’t happy!

  3. Headtheball-A bhoy on Celtic Minded has asked how much that charade cost and who paid for it,under the Freedom of Information Act.

    True , but if it is not challenged it gets entered into folklore.

     

    Pundits often say that the only thing that matters is the scoreline in the next days paper.

     

    However there is ‘parallel’ record book that exists when it comes to reporting of Celtic which is always referred to by the Laptop Loyal eg ‘ only through to next round courtesy of a “disallowed goal”.

     

     

    Let no insult go unchallenged.

    Thank you. There have been a lot more than that, of course and, I sense, quite a few in the pipieline.

    Great post, thanks!

     

     

    I just goes to show, in addition to the tainted titles they “won” due to their EBT and other financial jiggery pockery, how many titles and cups did they get thanks to the help of the establishment MIBs?

     

     

    Recent events have proved we are not paranoid: they cheated and always have done!

     

     

    The problem for them is that they don’t care.

     

     

    The problem for us Celts, and the other clubs who have been cheated over the many years, is that neither the SFA nor UEFA car either.

    I wish you would stop mincing your words and come to the point. :))

    I ordered a CQN annual via a certain Mr Santa Claus, c/o NP.

     

     

    Any idea if it will arrive in time for Christmas?

     

     

    If not, I’ll need to think of something else for Madame 67.

  10. From the first day I walked to school I had to fight them……mon. to fri., day in, day out. At the weekend; all through any holidays you had to be on the lookout for gangs of them scampering around, dragging their knuckles. They were like psychotic chimps.

     

    And I was lucky.

     

    We were smarter….and better fighters.

     

    What a way to have to grow up. In permanent conflict because of existence.

     

    I had to explain it to someone once. That you were given no choice.

     

    But, given that that was the nature of the reality I was born into, it’s satisfying to know we have won.

     

    All that’s left is the mopping up.

     

    : > )

  11. sixtaesevev I received mine two days after ordering. Mind you being in the Hebrides I,m probably a lot closer to the North Pole than you!!!! KTF Hail Hail Hebcelt

    Not a wasted word in your post – know what you mean exactly.

     

    ;o)

     

     

    The fact that they still have the full support of the so-called “powers that be” (govt, press/media, fitbaw authorities) beggars belief in a country that has ambitions of independance.

  13. Glasgow Central back to Motherwell then home to good ole EK. Embdy need anything from Hamilton Asda?

  14. I see that the St Mirren manager is of the opinion that Celtic Park holds no fear for any team now.Go to it Celtic,take six off them.

    An expession I learned at school was “Woe betide you, boy, if …”.

     

     

    Woe betide me indeed if the wife’s prezzie doesn’t arrive before the 25th…

  16. News speak on SSN!

     

     

    1. Rangers weren’t relegated

     

    2. Rangers and Murray group are not vindicated

     

    3. Rangers went out of business in spite to the huge tax bill, they could not pay current creditors

     

     

    I really wish the MSM would report accurately.

     

     

    The narrative his incredible.

     

     

    ‘We have always been at war with eastasia’

  17. Not long back so just catching up.

     

     

    Sky’s coverage last night was a bloody disgrace.

     

     

    If there is a more weasely, cretinous, unarticulate specimin than Tanner I have yet to see him.

     

     

    A face I want to punch!

     

     

    Rant over!

    Attending a Catholic secondary in Kilwinning was interesting to say the least!

     

     

    We did’nt usually have to fight our way there or back, because we were bussed in, as we lived outside the town.

     

     

    But the local bhoys DID have to fight their way there and back most days – often against grown men.

     

     

    That was the nature of the beast in the 60s and early 70s.

     

     

    Is it any different now?

     

     

    HH!!

    Don’t know if this has been posted here, but interesting.

     

     

    Reply from the MOD regarding the Remembrance Day fiasco at Ibrox.

     

     

    “The General Officer Commanding Scotland has now had the opportunity to review the events that took place at Ibrox Park with the other Service heads in Scotland.

     

    They share your view that the format of the half time event and the conduct of those taking part in it was inappropriate for Remembrance Weekend, and will take steps to ensure that such events are conducted with appropriate solemnity in the future.

     

    They believe that the minute’s silence before the match was the correct way to mark the occasion and Army commanders will be directed to restrict future Remembrance events to this type of activity in the future.

     

    The focus of Remembrance activities must be on the fallen, not on those who are serving in the Armed Forces today.”

     

     

    We are not amused…

  20. Just logged back on Fae earlier today, JOBO are you still on that bliddy train?

    That was getting there and back.

     

     

    Once you were there, the “strap” was the order of the day.

     

     

    All good fun, eh?

    Happy days!

    I don’t know. I left long ago, and on return visits I make sure I wear nothing green except when I’m in the vicinity of Celtic Park.

     

    I still see the same psychotic simians, knuckle dragging, swastika eyes burlin’ and red, white and blue adorning them somewhere as they lurch around the streets lookin’ for any excuse to rage.

     

    One day they’ll hopefully just spontaneously combust.

    The happiest days of your life? Well, that’s a crock.

     

    My happiest days came long after I left school.
