The new SPFL board yesterday agreed that some sort of review should take place into the debacle which saw Rangers collapse into liquidation. While this is welcome as far as it goes, its scope will necessarily be bound by what the SPFL previously agreed to bind itself to. This was clear from the off, which I alluded to at the time.
If you contractually agree to limit your future actions for all purposes, you tie your own hands. This is where the SPFL are now and it is the reason we must look beyond them. The actions of those who tied their own hands are just as important as matters pertaining to the integrity of Scottish football’s competitions (the Scottish Cup and SFL League Cup, as well as the SPL).
The SPFL are not the only ones who are looking into this matter. They know to expect challenges during the course of the next two months.

E44- good luck, the ads are a pain
I think SIONNACH is a stirrer.
Of Hun persuasion.
Ernie – I’m aware of GLOW but is that not just school age? I meant for college/uni kids who still have to get an MS Student license.
Being Open Source it is continually expanding/improving and is a great free prog. Not had any major issue in 6 or 7 years and have used it for sending to pro printers and producing leaflets/ presentations etc…
Would still recommend it :-)
Celtic said anything yet?
Awe naw there’s two of them:)))
MARADOMINIC
I am trying to set up a meeting with you and the board.
It might take me a week or so.
So just stay cool and err, quiet and I’ll be in touch……………soon.
Prommise.
Decision made. Asus X751. 17″ screen, 1TB of storage, 8GB of RAM. No idea what I’m talking about there but just under £350. Up and running by the weekend is the plan. Thanks for the advice, on the blog and from elsewhere! ;-)

You stick around long enough the competition gets younger and better. Great servant for Celtic – 254 matches and 10 trophies, plus triple Footballer of the Year 2010/11. That’s a good career already. HH
Philbhoy. 8.24.
That made me laugh. :-))))
Hail Hail
Philbhoy you could get a job with PLC with that type of talk….. how did that work for res 12 boys…still talking
I watched most of Dundalk v Rosenberg home & away ties and was not impressed with R’berg at all. I would be very surprised if we don’t progress.

“You give the impression here, that there is consensus out there, that ‘the guys that really contributed to the troubles’ are outraged at the actions of the GB last week. ”
It serves me right that, having censored myself to offer no personal views on the situation, I end up having “my” views foisted upon me by you, via that tired old strategy of alleging that I have “given” an impression when it was you, who should accept the personal responsibility, of having “taken” it.
——————
I don’t have a ‘strategy’. I call it as I see it.
You wrote previously, ‘The guys that really contributed during The Troubles are not on here contributing wall-to-wall Rebs. But, some of them are on here, and they have been speaking much sense this week’.
Reading the above, it’s clear that you are aligning your personal views with the men who spoke ‘much sense’. And with the views of other posters who had written in a similar vein. And no harm there.
You then end with, ‘I had not wanted to write this post but I will not accept wilful misrepresentation of my (largely unsaid) words’.
It’s you who has misrepresented me! Please get off your high horse.
Maradominic- best wait until the whitewash statement tomorrow, then the Board have to show up.
Starry…………

Mike an’ Bernie Winters at the Glasgow Empire…..
Celtic just need to keep being invincible in Scotland and make progress in the CL beyond group stage. The Rangers saga will rumble on for many years to come.

No need for that mo chara.

Gordon
Lustig Jozo Tierney.
Brown Ntcham
CmcG Armstrong
Sinclair
Forrest Hayes .
Sinky playing as a false 9 .
Of course if Moussa makes it then wee Jamsie can f off back to the bench and Hayes goes to the right with Sinky back on the left.
Thats my second attempt of the season at second guessing Brendan, so far I am 0 from 1
Sionnach abu – you make a good point about Billy Smith.
I assume he is a fairly intelligent guy and realises he is perceived by some as a shyster or a patsy.
Have never quite understood why he hasn’t made moves (even subtle ones) to distance himself from this or, at least, clarify what he was asked to do.
‘Sources close to Billy’ kinda thing.
Billy Smith’s Whitewash must go!
Hail hail
BANKIEBHOY1
I’m sure their dug posts on here:))
Schnorbitz CSC
Just as well I re read that team before posting it cause I had Jobo playing in the back 3 .:-)
H.H
SIONNACH,
Maybe disingenuous then
Hard game, we could have done with a couple more friendlies IMO
HH
ps at least you made me laugh
MARADOMINIC
Me work for the PLC?
A pay cut at my time of life is not a good idea.
BTW – still no mention of bankrupt Barry on any BBC medium.
They must know about him. BBC sport Scotland web pages have TEN opinion pieces from Barry in the last year alone.
Billy Smith’s Whitewash must go!
BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL on 25TH JULY 2017 8:38 PM
if anyone is going to ask Bill Smith for his paid comment, remember this much, he was already bought and paid for less than his family’s name was worth.

Statement from the Celtic Trust.
Sanctions on supporters in the Standing Section
Published on Tuesday 25th July, 2017 by Celtic Trust
The announcement by Celtic that 900 season ticket holders in the standing section will have their membership rights suspended for two home games and their right to attend the Sunderland and Partick Thistle and Rosenberg away games also having been removed, is one which we feel requires comment.
Whatever ones view on the wisdom or otherwise of the banners displayed by the Green Brigade at the Linfield game – a decision for which the group has taken full responsibility – the application of such excessive and poorly-targeted sanctions cannot be justified or defended. This sanction has been applied to children as well as to people who were not in attendance at that game -their ticket not having been activated. It has now been extended to incidents at other games which had not been previously raised as problematic. It has involved safety issues which were actually caused by the excessive and unwarranted police presence within the section that night. Such a scattergun approach by the PLC seems to have the purpose of dividing the support and causing tensions within that section rather than dealing sensibly and proportionately with the kind of difficulties which arise from time to time in any club.
As a Celtic supporters’ organisation, we have the interests of the support as our primary aim, and division is not in any of our interests. As the first proposers of the standing section we also have an interest in defending this imaginative and much-admired initiative. As a fellow organisation to the Green Brigade, it is not our purpose to agree with every decision they make, and neither would they expect us to, but they are our comrades and will remain so, particularly when they are under attack.
We call on Celtic PLC to open discussions immediately with the supporters in that section, including representatives of the Green Brigade, in order to resolve this issue in a reasonable and proportionate manner.

Whilst I don’t agree that the GB expressed any sense of regret, (was admitting responsibility just boasting?), I do agree with the last sentiment
Full time results from tonight’s Q3 Champions route ties (* = seeded team) :
Qarabag (Aze) * 0 – 0 Sherif Tiraspol (Mda)

All true because this time it is me writing my own words and it is not what you accused me of in your 3.18 post. And if there is, indeed, no harm there, then why did you attack me for it?
“You then end with, ‘I had not wanted to write this post but I will not accept wilful misrepresentation of my (largely unsaid) words’.
It’s you who has misrepresented me! Please get off your high horse.”
No room on the high horse as you already occupied it when you accused me of stating that I had asserted there wasa Republican consensus on being outraged at the GB. Of course you have not referenced that in your reply nor have you apologised for making the assertion or failing to ask me, even, to clarify that this was my intention.
No!- YOU made the original accusation- I responded and showed you where you had gone wrong, and I reserve the right to do that every time you wish to speak for me. Now, if you can actually go to the trouble of specifying where I misrepresented you, as I took the trouble to demonstrate to you, you will get your apology if you can perform that trick
scared the crappola out of me

When I go to Celtic Park to support my team, I cheer them on, sometimes sing, and jump up and down when we score.
I also usually hug whoever is next to me, because I am so happy.
I don’t use foul language, sing proscribed songs, or display inappropriate banners.
I also don’t let off flares.
I wonder if Celtic PLC could open discussions with me immediately to discuss, well, things.
Thanks in advance.
