I don’t know what the commercial value of our summer games against Barcelona, Leicester City and Inter Milan are, but those three games are sure to dwarf the earnings we make from domestic media and prize money for the whole of next season.
TV rights for English Premier League football from next season will average just above £7m per game, that’s for each of the 10 games on the weekly card – Sweet Georgia Brown! The actual value of these varies enormously: Watford v Bournemouth has practically no commercial value, all the real value is added by games between big clubs – even the likes of Newcastle, who are a poor team, but one which many colours of football fans still want to watch.
In a different environment, TV rights for Celtic games would be north of that £7m per game figure (the increased exposure would also geometrically improve commercial rights values). Think what we could do with that kind of money…….. more paper towels in the gents, maybe, the possibilities are limitless!
Our position is far from unique, there are a dozen or so European teams of similar size who have been marginalised from what was once a meritocratic game, so change must (always) remain on our agenda. But for now, we have to make what we can from our role as the Celtic Globetrotters.

Auldheid. How about cos Celtic backed the corruption from the start. They backed the wrong horse.
And personal gain from cushy jobs at the sfa?
Or if not that then why the silence?

Dd,
Apologies for butting in…
I believe it started earlier today when it was said that jg and Cowie are not allowed on the same flight.
A few reasons were suggested why then tbb(?) suggested it could be put down to the same reasoning as to why a lady doesn’t put both boobs into the same cup of a bra (or words to that effect)
Aw gid banter :))

I see we have another trumpet join the ranks,Sid.A closet that thinks that real Celtic fans like myself and others who live abroad,are not entitled to support the team as we see fit,because we dont attend games.My previous 50 years of following the club,all over Europe,and having a season ticket from the day they became available,never missing a match ,home or away,from the age of 13,somehow seems not to count with this idiot.Even now,here,I pay the full wack for Celtic TV,so i can see the greatest love of my life every week.The trumpets on here are Hunlike in their stupidity.

Winnings even the blind arrogant and corrupt Celtic board were beginning to see the gig was up.
As I say it’s an incredibly important distinction to appease because you are forced to or change because it is the right thing to do.
Nothing has changed winnings. They colluded with corruption and remain silent. That is the trump card here.
Tell you what. I will start to think again if they conced they have balls it up and apologise to us unreservedly.
Gonna happen?
Nah me neither.

Good Evening.
Here’s a new piece about Celtic’s summer programme and the CONSTANT Sevconian bleating two weeks after the Scotland squad was announced

Doc
My son is about to meet these tits for the first time in Dublin.
May the Lord save his breasts. :)
Oh dear there’s Turkeybhoy angrily doffing his cap again….
Auldheid
Its personal enrichment that is the problem.
Certain people are rather more worried about their own bank balances, than sporting integrity.
I already pointed to the subtext of DD’s wonderful glorification of the cheats and bigots.
We all know where DD stands.
As for the rest of them….Do they even support Celtic?
I have my doubts.
As for Cognative Dissonance, im sure you realise that can be applied elsewhere…..Like at Celtic Park.
I seem to recall Prof Devine having to remind PL of the history of Celtic.
Does that count?

Cheers. How’s the Lang Toun?

You perform a valuable role as the arch critic and I think you know that.
I’m sure you’ll be delighted to be proved wrong, and I don’t mean any disrespect in saying that, as you know.
Just in from Dublin. I have the tickets for the ROI match on Friday evening.
DD, I’ll see you at St Kevin’s for the 4pm match against Barca.
Almore, I had a message on FB earlier sayng that someone else was having difficulty sending an e mail to dublin2016@mail.com. I’ll look into that…
I’ll speak to you tomorrow if your free, all good.
BMCUWP’s, See you both tomorrow in Clogherhead!! The Civil Defence have been mobilised.
Doc,
Minging….but intriguing;-))

HH
DD, protect the innocent FFS!
TheLurkinTim, aye.
Dd,
I thought the lurking Tim was answering you there :)
I’m just a wee bit outside it. Was down there on Friday though.
Same auld same auld as they say. The Pratt Street mob are starting to make some moves though. Could be a short wee away trip next season. :)
I hope yer well.

Winning. I would be delighted to be proven wrong. Thrilled in all honest.
But………………..
Csc yes need to get beers soon. Delaneys was saying too.
After all we have some protesting to organise……….
And with that good evening to all. Turkeybhoy you will need to iron that cap in the morning. You got it all creased.
TGM,
If DD’s influence over the Celtic Board is all pervasive then, yes, the game’s a bogey…..I don’t agree…..I would like to think his comments are made/taken out of context…..
My problem with Celtic is it’s lack of PR…..what would it cost them to take stance against the media in Scotland…..nothing……

Wee shadow over my town just now. My daughters and nieces terrified to walk the streets of Clydebank just now.

Fractious blog of late.
We should be building bridges.
Speaking of which…here’s the Erskine Bridge being constructed and the economic impact on the West Coast.
It just shows ye that you can’t reach too high or far. A lesson for us all…

But seriously, a good wee film and a fascinating insight into our past.

No, i dont think DD’s comments have been taken out of context, clear enough i think for most people id say.
He has old firm stars in his eyes.
What he said about them was total and utter bs, and a slap in the face to all Celtic fans.
I know what he is all about.
Just as bad as Mike Ashley imo.
Money is his God.
HH
Oh dear,Neganon,that master of the witty retort,trying to make another of his famously funny posts about me.Much emboldened it seems by the hilarious three week run of his “Oh look,a Squirrel”on the pages of this blog.
….Health and Safety guys are gonna freak out!
Dd,
Yeah I seen that neebs. Tragic and heartbreaking.

Hope the Whitecrook Bhoys find him before the polis do. He will be hung from a tree in Clydebank after he is tortured. Eye for an eye.

I didn’t say you were not entitled to support the club as you see fit.
So it’s not my fault you have misinterpreted my post, you have a habit for that, it allows you to rant.
You don’t do irony do you.
You want to have the protection of supporting the club as you see fit, yet almost every post you criticise posters like Neganon, TET, Canalmar TGM on the very same thing.
My point is when you support Celtic from afar you have the tendency to think everything’s rosy.
I know this because I lived in Split for two years, set up my own little CSC, not a care in the world, not a Hun, or hun policeman in sight, great isn’t it.
You’re not subjected to hassle from Police going to away games, or Huns in the workforce, who remind you that they have 20 titles they won through cheating.
I get it you don’t care that Celtic are cheated but me as a supporter and shareholder, I do.
MacJay, Corkcelt, Turkeybhoy, 3 Celtic fans who live abroad and don’t attend matches week in week out, tell fans who go every week, get hassled by Police, to stop disrupting they’re Celtic Utopia on a blog as you’re boring them, go figure. – See more at: http://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/the-celtic-globetrotters/comment-page-6/#comments
