Auldheid,
I’m no expert on such matters but it increasingly looks like whilst the old club bet the house on Champions League income and lost, the new club have gone all in on Europa League income to survive.
As it’s mostly the same people directing strategy should we really be surprised?

Pat McMahon did indeed play with Kilsyth Rangers

Jimmy Smith another player who fairly brought me down to earth
when thinking i could play the game, as as you say hunched over
the ball but very deceptive turn of speed and Celtic minded think
he ended up with Newcastle.

Tory MSP and Rangers fan Murdo Fraser has been caught lying on social media after he claimed that Celtic fans at McDiarmid Park disrespected the minutes silence on Saturday
why are these people allowed to lie with impunity?
I don’t do twitter so unsure if this is fake news but seemed genuine

I think it’s in their DNA.
Hope you had a great birthday.

I could be talking out of my erchie here but –
saint stivs posted the interview with tom english / alex raes yesterday – Tom English stated the obvious – the league does not need a strong sevco, clubs have acclimatised to a one horse system, some clubs are doing very well, if sevco want to challenge, they have to get over their self inflicted wound and sort it out. Raes had to end up agreeing with him.
Is there the first signs now that the penny has dropped? And they won’t have large sums of money for the foreseeable future and therefore won’t perform consistently well for the foreseeable future.
I consider Tom English to be a journalist – no great friend of celtic but he can make objective comment.

Ibrox is a millstone around their necks and it makes economical sense to abandon it.
I reckon that had Hampden not been earmarked for Commonwealth Games a move there might have happened in 2012/13.
The cost of the number of supporters lost is unlikely to be greater than the cost of renovating Ibrox and Hampden has 2000 more crowd capacity than Ibrox.
Still leaves them 8000 short of CP but the sort of move that shows a Board starting to act like business men.

I think your right sadly
Thank you I had an historic Birthday…… one i’ll never forget ;-))

A bit disappointing to hear some fans at McDiarmid Park today disrepecting the minute’s silence’

It think your last line sums it up, he’s a journalist
and no great friend of Celtic, but there seems to have
been a ” i’m a real interrogative journalist ” move in the
last few days, is this because of impending doom down
at the house of debt, lets see who reports next.
H.H Mick
thanks lads for your kind comments.h.h.
ernie lynch on 5th November 2017 1:42 pm
Thanks for checking for me.
I thought it was the real thing alright……hoped it wasn’t but Sevco fans never fail to let themselves down
They really are scraping through the bottom of the barrel now…….

Big Packy
Love your posts, think your being a bit hard on yourself
after a dodgy one but we’ve all been there, it just means
you care, and thats how i judge people.
H.H Mick
Dena.
What was good to see was a couple of Sevco fans telling him he was talking rubbish.
Was has irritated me, is that it is really easy to delete a tweet and it would then show as being no longer available. The bitter lying wee hun, to the best of my knowledge, hasn’t done so. He’s left the lie out there.
Oh how he must be hurting. :-)))

A wonderful read, thanks for posting.
I am also a Bankie no longer living in Clydebank and it brought back so many memories
MELBOURNE MICK. cheers mate.

James Forrest has just put up an article about it on The Celtic blog.
He nails him. Well done James.
Hail Hail
Just stuck the mortgage on Man City!
JNP- When guys in public positions tell lies openly about the Club and the fans, the Club should challenge them.

Auldheid,
I’m no expert on such matters but it increasingly looks like whilst the old club bet the house on Champions League income and lost, the new club have gone all in on Europa League income to survive.
As it’s mostly the same people directing strategy should we really be surprised?

We shold be surprised that other clubs are prepared to run the risks to them of the UEFA dependency model that TRFC follow.
As someone commented, DK is now the sole source of money supply. I heard Parks as a company have said “no more” so they must appreciate the risk of such a dependency.
Those accounts should send alarm bells ringing throughout the boardrooms of all SPFL Premier clubs.
How long will their supporters say they are prepared to watch their club struggle against a challenger who is betting their house on beating them?
This whole saga including the same club nonsense would have been impossible if the principles that UEFA FFP attempts to enshrine were mirrored in Scottish football.
When introducing FFP UEFA said one of its aims was to encourage clubs to act sustainably when so many were not. I’ll get the exact words later.
Why is that not a principle in domestic licensing? The rules are there and last time I looked the Licensing Commitee had the power to set conditions under which a licence would be granted. Has that been done with TRFC? Have the risks to other clubs been considered if another insolvency occurs?
How can it be right for a club to spend money it has not earned from football to pay the bills it will earn from football in future seasons as a result of that earlier spending, without which it would not get access to the later money, unless there is a guarantee the early spend will result in later access?
That makes getting access essential and not something that can be left to sporting chance and so corrupts the sporting element.
We saw it happen in 2011.
The unsustainable thinking will continue as long as it’s allowed to and the club’s have the power to stop it.
However I fear that come ST Renewal time, unless supporters as a whole say they will not pay to watch a game where one club continues to act irresponsibly and unfairly, the Directors of other clubs will rely on fan loyalty to allow continuation of unfair financial play in Scotland.
JJMMYNOTPAUL
I’m sure Big Packy will answer that one in the spirit
it was intended :-))
Whats going on with STAYINGUPLATES blog seems
to have stopped again?
H.H Mick
Bada.
Yes, I agree.
However Fraser was a tad cute and said, he heard it on the wireless and wasn’t sure what set of fans it came from.
We all know he meant us and he has smeared us,but he has left himself a little rope to play with by not specifically saying it was Celtic fans.
It makes it difficult for club to call him out, we would need St J to join us.
Hail Hail

Some memory for a six year old :)))))

Melbourne Mick.
It’s not only Big Packy I have to worry about, KevJ doesn’t stay a million miles away from me. :-))
Yes Stayuplate.
You and I go on and post and he stops blogging again.
Do you think he’s trying to tell us something? :-)
On a more serious note I hope everything is ok with him and his loved ones.
Hail Hail
Goooood Afternoon CQN – 63 is a great number
Looking forward to 67 again :-)
Can/should Celtic not sue that MSP for defaming its fans – we could and should take out an injunction to stop his nonsense
With regards that other mobs accounts, as highlighted, those loans by the super fans- looking to get their money back through a further share issue, which the trumpets will buy into, how they manage to carry out that share issue is another matter, and how the chairmen gets on with the current court case is another nother :-) matter
Who owns Ibrox ??? Sell if they can, to clear some loans, re-locate to Hampdump on a rent or lease deal ????
JNP- Ballot box then, from what i hear it’s not the first time from that clown
Auldheid…I remember Pat McMahon playing for Kilsyth Rangers against Rutherglen Glencairn in the Junior Cup Final 1967…he was a very elegant player, reminded me of Jim Baxter…He was signed by big Jock a few days after Lisbon…he was a gentle, quiet sort of guy, had studied to become a priest if my memory is not playing tricks…he didn’t play that many games for us and I don’t know exactly when he left…but a fine player none the less…
Enjoyable read for a Sunday Mickey Hammil

Bada Bing.
He’s a list MSP.
He stood in numerous elections 7/8, maybe Ernie can give exact number, and never won one yet.
Wee Ruthie won’t kick him out, she has previous.
Hail Hail
JNP…I heard some sectarian singing at ibrox…not sure if it was the home or away support…
JIMMYNOTPAUL. wife keeps looking over my shoulder to make sure i dont post something stupid .and know i dont know kev but i still think celtic is in his blood. hail hail.
Another thing, what do the fans of that other mob now feel about their hero sorting out Sports Direct ? Paying up £3m for releasing from a 7 year deal ( this year still running, so paying big Mike his £0.5m annual charge for the next 6 years) then signing up with Sports Direct on another deal under a new guise

Don’t be so hard on yourself, show me someone who hasn’t made a mistake and I will show you a liar.
WBC.
I liked that :-))
Serie A.
Benevento winning 1.0 against Juventus in Turin. They were 33/1 before kick off. I’m not 100% but I think they have lost every league, so far, this season.
