As far as Armageddons go, this one will surely be known as the Amiable Nursemaid of all Armageddons. The kind that not so much wipes everyone out, but buys them a meal, then takes them to a show and onto a nightclub.
Sky has renewed their deal to cover the Scottish Premier League after Our Man sorted them out yesterday. They will show a handful of Scottish Football League games as part of the deal, a nice quid-pro-quo for SPL clubs for their annual contribution to the lower leagues.
Delicious irony: those SFL rights are worth more to each SPL club than they are to any SFL club.
Chief harbinger of doom, Neil Doncaster, will, on the one hand, be relieved that there is still income to pay his wages. On the other hand, he must surely be embarrassed at the spectacularly in accurate scenario he portrayed to SFL clubs, and to several people in the media. Did he embark on a flamboyant bluff or did he simply not know what he was talking about?
Remember, why we are here in the first place… Our good causes this year are The Haven Centre in Blantyre, Oscar Knox Neuroblastoma Appeal, Martin Chambers Ecuador Trust and Aberdour Primary School Parents’ Association.
We have already distributed over £2000 thanks to the sale of a Joseph Gormley painting back in April. We have two further fantastic paintings by Joseph; one of Scott Brown and one of Henrik Larsson. We also have a wonderful signed Neil Lennon print by the artist Gary Brandham.
The items are being raffled on ebay right now for the price of a £1 ticket. Winners will be drawn at the CQN Open on Friday night. There will be further raffles and auctions on Friday night with some excellent golfing and other sporting activities been donated by the Celtic family. Perhaps the pick is a limited edition canvas print of John Thomson, donated by the John Thomson Memorial Committee. There are only 22 of these in the entire world, representing the 22 years of John’s life.
This is a unique opportunity to win three great pieces of Celtic memorabilia, items which would normally be pushed out of the reach of most people at auction. Tickets cost £1, buy as many as you like, but participate. This is what your club is all about!

That’s the second reference to Krazy House (Trongate) that I’ve read on here in the past few days. Some joker at the weekend said that the people who worked ther and in City Cash Tailors etc were ‘chancers’.
Put’em up! Put ’em up! I used to have a Saturday job there in the 60s. I wasn’t a chancer but I couldn’t say the same for some of my colleagues who worked there.

I’m not gay but my boyfriend is.
This is a new thing for me this season, not Der Hun missing but programmes! Since 1975 I’ve collected all my games, with the exception of the 1990’s having weans could not afford to go – bliss. Anyway I’ve no where left to put them so I’m only buying special ones. The loft will stop straining under the pressure…..

Evening all.
CQN is changing? No wan bit happy. Old school, me.
When I were a lad CQN had a wee dustbin next to your post so you could delete the madness you posted if you quickly regretted it. Could have done with that over the past few years.
I think I started on here in ’06 or maybe ’07. Love to know for sure.
Been a fantastic journey so far. Interested to see what Mr67 comes up with next.
Most importantly – looking forward to seeing the Bhoys in competitive action tomorrow night. I love all the Rangers demise/Sevco FC pain as much as any man but jeezo, we need the football back.
Best to the lot of you.

City Cash Tailors’ office was a sight to behold. My Nana used to take me in there on weekends when she had to work. What a palaver. Mr. Brian and Mr.Gerald etc…..interminable list of Mr this and that running their wee empire. She threatened to resign from runnin’ their humungous computer a few times ’cause they kept paying their “secretaries” more than her. It formed her thinking. Krazy House was exactly that. Plus ca change, eh?

I suppose it depends on what you class a s a fairly decent player.
I would say the the likes of Hooper, Commons, Kayal, Wanyamma, Ledely, Mathews, Forster, Sammi, Izzy I could go on….could be classed as fairly decent players, and they came for the money first and foremost, the potential to play euro football, it wasn’t certain.
There are plenty of decent players out there, who are as good as the above players, who would jump at the chance of better money and the chance to play euro football, and the chance to win medals.
We are not in the position to buy players with a Name any more, we have to deal in the freebie and loan market, but rest assured they are out there.
Can’t remember who, sorry, posted the other week a list of players from Spain, Germany, France, Italy all of whom were for free, and there were many players on the lists who would relish the chance to play for us.
Take Spain for example, outwith Real and Barca the money players get would be about half that Celtic would offer, and most of them have no chance of euro football, and even less chance of winning medals.
As I said, they are for sure out there
Personally |I think PL is taking a massive gamble, there has been many posts alluding to getting players in before the qualifiers, and if it then fails, we can sell to offset the outlay, not rocket science, just hedging your bets, but success will pay off big time, it’s a win win situation..

I’m going to Aberdour on Friday but not golfing so I’ll be in desperate need of a curer come Saturday afternoon no doubt.

Everyone can spot a bhun from a mile off, even on the radio. Some of our own fans have posted spoof posts on FF. If u ran a radio phone in show with falling audiences would u not stir interest by using some false fans? Especially true if ur favourite team have been liquidated and this is ur only means of getn back at your rivals. Switch off and NEVER be tempted to tune in again!

And, getting big Ras off the payroll is good. Getting some dough in for him is most pleasing.

thanks for clearing that up….. thought that was what you meant… it has not been the best move we have ever done with the kids season tickets
So, we will get rid of a few more (good as well as bad),not bring anyone in,increase ST prices,they just increased there btw,way to go Celtic! why not re-instate the £50 kids ticket?

Original post was sentimental due of the c**p that our club is wading through, admirably imo, at the moment locally and globally. Cheers and HH to a win tomorrow.
