I try to avoid those who really should be avoided but I caught the report of Peter Lawwell’s Sky TV interview on their website yesterday. The “No summer sales” headline was misleading in itself as our chief exec actually said “there is no real necessity to sell players now”.
We are a solvent and well-run football club, there is no real, or imagined, necessity to sell, but there is an enormous leap between this status and “no summer sales”. All clubs, not just Celtic, sell when an offer exceeds their valuation for a player and they believe the money could be more productively redeployed elsewhere. There is no necessity for Manchester City to sell players, not until the oil runs out in the Middle East, anyway, but they may still sell.
Best part of the article was from Charlie Nicholas, “I’m a bitter idiot. Listen, I’ll prove it…..”
I’ve translated that quote from the vernacular.
Loved newco Rangers accounts. £3.5m in the bank on 31 December, £1.5m loan since, so they have £5m to operate until the season ticket money comes in, which will just be enough, but cash burn is running at over £1m per month; close to £15m a year.
£30m-£50m is not enough.

I really don’t know what to say other than my thoughts are with wee Oscar and his family and friends
Off for a wee swim, then onto the game …… HAIL HAIL TO OOR WEE OSCAR
Just thinking….when I lived in Glasgow we could always engage in fitba chat with fans of Deadclub in the pubs.
Seriously….do they still make conversation or,as I suspect,change the subject as soon as fitba gets discussed?

Dreadful news about wee Oscar. Will be praying for him and his family.

No they don’t talk football at all. Not once since their demise have I had a conversation with a zombie.
They are ashamed and hide away from. The only time you see or hear them is when they have a game or when they are spouting their lies in the media.
It`s good to be going to Celtic Park with the league safely won.
Ross County will be up for this game, they were quite impressive against Aberdeen and this could be a good match.
I hope not but it may also be our last Saturday 3pm match of the season.
Come on the Celts!
Trad jazz or Alternative jazz…..All the same to me…..

………………
Amazing post that CRC, I feel your pain and love equally.
YNWA Oscar
Thoughts are also with GCT this morning
Y.N.W.A.
And don’t get me started on Bob Dylan…….Aff oot
Can’t imagine what Oscar and his family are going through, thoughts and best wishes.
Hoopy do….
Remember the Howff very well…
Had to wipe yer feet on the way out as you walked past the big fat guy on the door.
There wasn’t much deodorant sold to its punters back in the early 80s.
CRC well said earlier mate think that sums up what we all feel
There’s only one Oscar Knox
Hail hail YNWA
The Howff was always full of Huns from memory but the guy,Paul Waterson,who owned it was a big Tim.
Haven’t been on site for a few days. I am usually a lurker on here but the response I got the other day was so lovely. I hope that your bloody wonderful support and comments work equally well for Oscar and his family.
Bloody was the only expletive I could come up with to capture the brilliant emotional support I felt. Hope no one took offence.
Awful news on wee Oscar thoughts and prayers with the Knox family
Just text one of the very best on here and let him know that today I will be giving an extra roar to the champions for the Wee Mhan today.
For one so young he has had an effect on so many,I just have to look at my wee Oscar bracelet and my problems melt into insignificance.
No matter what happens the Wee mhan has had some effect on me and for that I can only simply say Thank you Oscar.
A post worthy of reporting if ever there was one.

Morning Bhoys & Ghirls
Been trying to post for the last hour, but words have been failing me.
When I picked my moniker, it was like a CQN christening. This was something that would stick by me long and hard, through good posts and bad. It was an important decision to be made. It would be with me through my CQN days.
I joke when I meet a lurker at any of the CQN events, or meeting up for badges or comms through the predictor that “ok your a lurker..but all lurkers have CQN names, what is yours?”, and believe me, most do and most are very proud.
I picked mine because being a Celtic supporter you have many highs and many lows, and I thought it was appropriate and fun it would be to use rollercoaster in my moniker somehow .
Yet my mind can’t help cast over to the Knox family, (I have thought about little else recently) and see how their entire life to date has been just that a rollercoaster and a dreadful one at that and perhaps being on one is not as great as you first think. Whilst there has been some good days, they are again on that uphill part again that nobody enjoys.
Maybe life on the rollercoaster isn’t as exciting as anticipated, there a very few smooth bits, very few indeed, and I do not know what this family has done to deserve this, but I do know they need our love, support and prayers now more than forever.
The next part of the journey for the family and indeed Wee Oscar is unknown to us all, but I do know this. The love, warmth, and happiness that Wee Oscar and has given us over the last few years will stay with us forever.
Hail, hail Wee Oscar our Celtic Warrior, keep fighting wee mhan!

Terrible news for wee Oscar and his family.
Any chance of some help here, St Jude?
Won’t go into reason behind my wife and I support of St Jude as a great comfort,
But here goes
O most Holy apostle St Jude
Faithful servant and friend of Jesus
The church honours and invokes you universally
As the patron of hopeless cases
Of things almost despaired of
Pray for Me
Make use, I implore you
Of that particular privilege given to you
To bring visible and speedy help
Where help is almost despaired of
Come to my assistance in this great need
That I may receive the consolation and help of heaven
In all my necessities, tribulations and suffering
Particularly “Oscar Knox”
And that I may praise
God with you forever
I promise O blessed St Jude
To be ever mindful of this great favour
To always honour you as my special and powerful patron
And to gratefully encourage devotion to you
Good Morning CQN
Thoughts and prayers for brave wee Oscar
God bless him and his family
YNWA Oscar
Hail Hail
MT
Sometimes there are no words I can find to fit a situation, save for a quiet prayer said for a friend in need.
Oscar and your family our prayers are with you this morning…
