Sky Sports followed the news that they captured SPFL TV rights with one of their media team having a go at Celtic and Peter Lawwell. Andrew Dickson (not that one) was previously part of Newco’s media team but is now a producer with Sky.
Following Peter Lawwell’s response to a question on needing assurance for the safety of Celtic fans at Ibrox, Dickson tweeted:
“Only place there has been a safety issue in recent times was at Celtic Park – involving Celtic fans. No track record of the problems Lawwell fears at Ibrox so why chuck that one into the conversation? To make your opponents look like big bad Rangers?”
I have been going to Ibrox for 35 years. During that time, and for decades before, Celtic fans had exclusive access to the stadium via Broomload Road. On 29 December, 800 Celtic fans will have to make their way through Broomload Road, which will also be the only access area 7,000 Newo fans have to the stadium.
There is a bit of a pantomime goes on at these games, with fans shouting at each other from the safety of a police cordon. Due to police planning, fans do not intermingle in the vicinity of the stadium.
Police permit fans of other clubs to walk through Newco fans to attend Ibrox (and Celtic Park), but they have yet to decide if cordons is unnecessary for next month’s fixture, or if segregation it to happen, how 800 Celtic fans can safely enter the stadium.
Celtic have been in regular dialogue with the police and League since Newco’s statement on the subject in the summer and await a decision. Sky Sports staff seem to have picked up the baton to support Newco’s position, despite safety concerns.
At least there should be no trouble after the match, that lot are usually well home by full time.

Glad you liked it mate. I agree Manchester has produced some great music acts, I would add New Order and the Chemical Bros to your list.
Anyway here is another b side, this one’s on a ‘bitter sweet ‘ single.

That’s desperate news Packy. Jeez.
May Annette rest in peace. 53, what’s it all about ?
If there’s a God, and that is a big if, with the church crumbling in front of our eye’s, no wonder, probably be better if, John Lennon’s prophecy came true and there was no religion, what would the freemason’s bankers start all of their war’s about, if there was no religion ? What would Jesus make of the antics of those folk who profess to convey, the teaching’s of Jesus ? My guess is that, Jesus would take a wrecking ball, to what has become of his father’s house here on earth.
Packy, so sorry for your loss pal.
Annette will have known that, wee Jorge will be in the caring, loving home of, Packy and Joane, life’s good guys.
Take care fella. YNWA
Annette, rest in peace.
Bed time again.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Rest in Peace Annette.
Far too young to go. :((
@Kev
The darksiders are taking a wrecking ball to Gods Creation. As I say we are all Eternal beings, I don’t expect to see many of them in the House of Love.
I’m hoping for a mighty fine performance and a win away to Rosenberg and Celtic to win the 7th Trophy under Brendan on Sunday. What a Beautiful day that might possibly be. It is Gods story so nothing is certain. ;))
I like listening to Simon Ferry’s interviews. It gies an insight into a fitba dressing room that you dinnae ken.
Brilliant interview with Ryan McGowan.
“F’n hell Willie you’re having a stinker, I can’t Believe you refereed in the Champions League.”
The much maligned Willie retorts.
“I can’t Believe you played in a World Cup.”
That is Brave moving away @ 16….
All round to chase his dream to play fitba.
Respect.
Love is the Key.
Magical.
Love the Pope and Love the Queen.
Figureheads.
I dislike those behind the curtains.
Cowards

Taking that dog to the Window.
Magical.
If Celtic get to the knockout stages of the Europa League. I’ll, well, I’ll, well I’ll be flabbergasted.
Its God’s story. Nothing is Impossible.
Magical
Lets not forget that UEFA are the biggest cheating Fitba organisation out there.
Champions League – OK
It’s all about the Money.
Do the right thing and change the name for Goodness sake.

Brendan knew straight away how Awesome the Bhoy is.
Magical.
Keep getting better and better Jamesie Bhoy.
Imagine Jamesie had a song and the Elevation further?
CELTIC
Celtic are so very Lucky to have Brendan Right here and Right now.
Magical.
The Metro’s anthem for me.

Condolences on loss of your friend
BIG PACKY, sorry to read that , take comfort in the fact you and Joan helped her in her final days . RIP Anette
From the Hootsman :
“Brendan Rodgers: Don’t blame Celtic for Old Firm fan trouble”
Now ignoring the OF phrase, it was Huns that caused a problem at CP not both. These cowards fear any blame being attributed to them.
and STV says:
Rodgers: Don’t blame Celtic players for Rangers fans’ fury
more like it
thanks ghuys for all your kind thoughts, im truly humbled. by the way its very dreich down here in Cheshire.hh.
Are Sevco having their AGM this week? Wonder if anyone from the floor will raise sectarian singing?
