Suggestions over the weekend that, in the event Newco won the league title and continued to refuse SPFL sponsor cinch the coverage they have paid for, clubs could have issued a class action suit against the Ibrox club is highly speculative.
Newco are in dispute with the League as cinch, a car retailer, compete with their chairman Douglas Park’s business, which is a Newco sponsor. This conflict of sponsors is common, indeed, before cinch, the League was sponsored by bookmaker Ladbrokes, while Newco’s shirt sponsor was 32 Red, who are also a bookmaker.
As we have discussed before, Newco would like to see SPFL chief executive, Neil Doncaster, his legal advisors and other non-execs forced from office. This dispute gives them a clear target to aim for.
The SPFL referred the matter to arbitration. Park’s of Hamilton subsequently challenged this process at court, insisting they should be involved in the process. In a statement last December, the motor group wrote, “We are prepared to pursue a claim against the SPFL regarding this ongoing conduct.”
The legal process could take years to resolve, resulting in cinch losing sponsorship properties they have paid for.

Anybody heard from the Lurking Tim?
Hearts and Rangers fans clash in violent brawl after Scottish Cup final
The shocking incident, filmed at the Heart of Scotland Services in Harthill, shows fans from both sides throwing punches in a vicious scrap.
Spoke to The Lurking Tim, I forgot I had his phone number. Ffs I’m going doolali like Philbhoy.
Does anyone know if Ernie got his train ok ?
Happy Monday all from a pleasantly mild Louisville.
So Maeda and Jota news to come this week? Would like to see CCV tied up quickly as well although he will surely be seeing what suitors with large wallets say hello in the coming days and weeks.
His is a business strategy Paul, very similar to the Ibrox team´s sporting approach, ie parking the bus.
Douglas Park certainly knows his way around Rangers and Hearts.
It IS going to be some time before any hoops are pulled on again and maybe time to reflect light-heartedly on an eventful season….off the park.
Return to the city of Seville
September 2021 – The way Celtic set out their stall in the Estadio Benito Villamarin against a nifty Betis team, who also play in green and white, warmed the cockles of my heart.
Emerging media
Lots of new Celtic content on the net this past year or so, decentralising the media. I can imagine a few on here who would have NOOO problem filling a podcast.
Higgins/Stadium security
An informed decision
Calmask!
The hammer throwers were assaulting us from all angles in the early part of the season just when we were getting going and the decision to give McGregor the Lone Ranger mask, excuse the pun, changed the dynamic. Celtic came out firing on four legs! Giacoumakis and CCV also showed some muscle
The French Interior
Astounded of forehead , they used to say on here and that was the case for me when the French government overturned their own Interior minister to allow bluenoses to attend a Europa League game in Lyon!! So we see exactly how the “auld alliance” works
Haarts
Royal blue, the one married to Kate Middleton, visits Swinecastle and the Maroons this month!
10 in a row
Bayern did it.
Ange and the media
First Ange has his breakfast and then he goes to work the media

I would love to come into Glasgow for a wee meet and a few bevvies.
I posted earlier that I had covid.
I was positive for 11 days and the residual issue is a horrible cough.
I’ve spoken to my doc who says this is common and shouldn’t last too long.
In the meantime I’ve got a horrible cough!!!!
It doesn’t feel like it’s getting any better which is a bu**er as my Spanish vacation looms large.
I will see how I am nearer the time and will let you know via the blog.
Take care my friend!
A request:
Over the coming weeks, there will be a plethora of unsubstantiated claims concerning Celtic signings.
My request is that no one gives these stories validity by posting them on here. One or two of our posters — Bada and Lennybhoy spring to mind — seem to get some reliable information. That is not only fine but welcome.
As regards the other stuff, remember how anti-Celtic the MSSM is. Don`t help them out in their quest to undermine us by regurgitating their nonsense on here.
Phil, would be great to see you again. You’re still aff yer rocker though. 😂👍. Stay well ya old git. 👍
Philbhoy hope you pick up fella.
D :)

Huns wind up hertz fans at Harthill and hertz fans didn’t fancy the windup so fists oot.
‘The man said: “This was my bus, Prestonpans RSC and I’m in the video trying to get boys back on the bus as we were outnumbered five to one and had a bus full of kids, women & elderly people’
Every where they go their weans, wife’s and old foggies get attacked 😕

Request denied sir. I love the ole transfer window nonsense and having checked that no children or animals are hurt in the makng of such rumours, I’m going full tonto at getting overly excited about each and every one of them.
Unless they’re shite.
Carry on.

David Marshall signs for Hibs. After we let Craig Gordon go we could have signed DM instead of Barkas. All part of the mess that was the failed attempt at 10 in a row. There’s a book in that stramash of a season.
Just had a wee look back and saw the stuff about OTB when the ranger supporting girl said something like I don’t associate with that, I don’t know anything about that re: sectarian (racism) abuse. Sorry but 90 % of the good rangers fans I know don’t know associate with that but I can’t help but notice 99% of their fans are singing their vile shite. In stadiums. I call bullshite, grew up with lots of rangers supporting pals who were brand-new to my face. Behind my back talk their shite, cowards, two-faced and untruths. When they got together in bigger groups they would become more emboldened. Perhaps if all these good rangers supporters stood up to the cunts there would be less issues. I have told a good few idiot celtic supporters to fuck up when they start anti protestant shite.

The show on Saturday was a perfect platform for Cat Shearer to hold court for roughly 30 seconds and deliver a speech attacking sectarianism and the vile chanting emanating,not just Seville,but wherever they go.Maybe it was not on her ‘script’ on the show to condemn….but a lost opportunity.
Email from Celtic fc to BRRB: we shall be in touch regarding your application for a season ticket. Happy days. 👍💚

That’s pretty much how I see it to. Except as we know they tend to attack anyone who doesn’t agree with their view including their own kind. Maybe that is why the decent ones (if there is any) keep quiet.

==============≈======
Anything positive about Celtic,?
Your narrative of Craig Nelson is incorrect.but the inclusion of Marshall/Barkas turns it into romping yarn,
Failed at 10, hahahaha what is that about?
Are you still affected by that?
Give your head a wobble man
It’s gone,learned from and a title won since
How did you celebrate our 52nd title?
People get ready there’s a Train a coming…….
Evaluating the journalistic ability of our meeja is very easy given the sheer amount of evidence – the questions not asked, the statements made and the risible attempts to woo thur boys in bloo……………….
Kenny….????? – the wee St Mirren botton……??????
Jesus wept! Hunguffery at its most sleekit.
But we are supposed to appreciate thur human qualities or the fact that they don’t hate us????
:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Thur job for God’s sake……….
Where are the Garngad ruffians tonight? A poor show indeed.
TONYROME,
There are decent Bluenoses, though I suspect, on the basis of what we see and hear at their cesspit of a ground they are in a definite minority.
One of the said decent guys is my mate. A few years ago (during the first incarnation) he started taking his son to the games and one European night he was challenged because he failed to follow orders re. “If you hate the f*ckin Fenians clap your hands”. He pointed out that he didn’t hate Fenians and anyway there was a French team on the park, not Irish Catholics.
Eventually the stewards got involved, his son was getting really anxious so he decided to get up and leave. Believe me this guy, who played semi-pro rugby at the time, would happily have gone toe to toe with the eejits but for his son being there.
He also has never been to see the new club!
News flash; the Finnieston Crane was used today to lift Alfredo Morelos onto the Waverly. Unfortunately the old paddle steamer ran aground at Langbank. Alfredo is now used as a marker buoy for the heavy shipping channel and a light attached to his head to guide commercial aircraft to Glasgow Airport.

I seen that commotion today, but its proving to be a poor plan, as the tide is now waiting to get back in
Saint Stivs, he’s a one man tsunami.
A Hertha Berlin team, featuring Boyata, Boateng and Jovetic, up against it in the relegation/promotion second leg play off in Hamburg, with Hamburg leading 1-0 from the first leg in Berlin.
Derek Boyata heads goal from corner, now 1-1 on aggregate.
Do we need goalie cover ?
Boyata won 4 league medals with us. He is now Hertha captain, and playing well.
Just dont get the long running connection with Parks, huns through and through.
Are Parks the only bus hire company around, no didnt think so.
Why!!!!!!
KINGLuBO
An Tearman will you please stick to our agreement, you ignore me and I’ll ignore you. That’s my last word to you.
BRRB and DAVID66
Thanks ghuys!
You two take care too!
KINGLUBO
The Celtic/Parks connection does my head in too!
I think it’s been posted on here that Celtic get the bus for free, no cost to us but huge advert for a hun business.
I’d ditch them in a minute.
Good evening all from the Allison Arms. I hope you are all hale and hearty. My team for next competitive Celtic match; erm, um, not got a scooby. 🤔😂
Quinntuple, is that a thing ?
