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!

We appear to be talking about different things ..think I’ll leave it
Enjoy the game tomorrow .

I think that’s correct ….stupid planning not putting in a contingency should the Huns be kicked out
KRIS COMMONS is ready to hand Celtic a massive Euro boost by declaring himself fit to face HJK Helsinki tomorrow…I’ve been on here too long today…didnae realise he was fit. Great. He is always a goal threat. You don’t realise how strong our squad is until you try and pick a first eleven…some of the recent hyper-criticism has been a tad hysterical, particularly after the Ajax game…surely we are strong enough to pump HJK at Paradise? Let’s hope we make the second leg a formality.
For the love of one’s Country

Is a terrible thing
Some guys on here will stick up for The Board,no matter what the argument.
Is a beautiful thing….

My SB renewal did not go up by 150%. I have not been stiffed.
Tom McLaughlin
If the £50 SB was too good to be true, wa sit advertised as, for one season only and then you’ll have to pay a lot more?
Or are we using the drug dealer approach of cheap introductory price and then screw the addicted customer for whatever we can get.
I understand that some well off families will see a £125 Kids SB as a bargain but many of our support are not as well off as the CQN demographic.
it banishes fear like…..
In truth, Panathinaikos are dealing with Motherwell the way a seeded team should at this level. Hopefully tomorrow we’ll do the same, especially at home.
the speed of a flame
and it makes us a part of….
Over the years I have read and heard absurd claims from deluded huns that, for example, during the Second World War, Celtic-minded and Irish people used to light fires in Scotland to help the German bombers target our towns and cities.
Insane nonsense of course.
However, when I read spurious claims on CQN that Rangers players and supporters were somehow excused from going to the front line, while Celtic men were dragged screaming into action, I cannot help but believe that such nonsense is on a par with the hun claims of a similar nature.
If you are going to make such claims, how about supporting them with some evidence, rather than “my dad told me that” hearsay. We do ourselves no favours by stooping to the level of the bitter and twisted hun, especially on such emotive subjects as world wars, where many different people from all walks of life were killed and maimed.
just read back, good news that a t.v deal has been agreed and the stupid MSM have once again been found out regarding their dooms day b*llsh&t. by the time voting on financial ditribution is addressed i would guess only celtic will see a slight decrease in t.v income, potnetially closing the financial gap between us and the rest, which might be no bad thing in the longer term.
the MSM’s new tactic is to say the league will be over by christmas and attendances will suffer. i for one do not think the league will be over by christmas. i can see dundee united, aberdeen and another pushing harder than ever and again the financial gap shortening between us and the rest might mitigate a closer league challenge.
i do think the league should be increased to 14 next season then 16 the year after that to help stimulate interest to create more derbies and to see football come first. a more competitive league will see more fans attending not less so lets wait and see, the MSM have got not one thing right throughout this whole thing.
p.s. a child tickets works in at about £6 a games and people are on the radio complaining, FFS man it cost more to go to the cinema, bowling etc… you cant blame celtic for rangers dying and not playing in the spl.
Tomorrow night’s game.
Come on Tom get it right.
The floodlights at Celtic Park were left on to aid the Luftwaffe.
You know, the ones erected in 1959?
Honestly. Some Bampots, eh?

I will ALWAYS stick up for our Board, since they are commendable custodians of our Club……. But they are not perfect, like the rest of us, and they have made a mistake on this one ……they need to reduce back to £50 and refund thosevwho have paid £139 ……..
NOT BECAUSE OF THE MSM SHOITE, but because it is the right thing to do
just watchin that game there
Motherwell unbelievably SLOW
but not slow in moving just slow in thinking !
making the wrong move, the wrong pass
manager so slow in changin his team around
Pana not much cop
but Motherwell…super slow !
wonder if its just cos its pre-season
or are they just slow thinkers of the game
first thing they do when the eventually control the ball is try to dribble or, worse still, launch it here there n everywhere, or again go back the way instead of immediately on receiving possession try at least to gain 5-10yrds or pass it to yer mate nice n simple
having said all that, they’ve been a wee bit unlucky on occasion – couple decent strikes from distance and just now flagged for offside when clearly on and at same time fella handled the baw – woulda been a pen and a red
boumsong swanning around too

GB Mens Volleyball team well beaten by the Ozzies- the only game we had a chance of winning. No chance of emulating the women who recorded a great win against Algeria yesterday, a 69th ranked team beating a 16th ranked outfit.
I see Poland surprisingly lost to Bulgaria today and the GB team should have taken a set off Bulgaria in their earlier game.
Dare I say the rushed decision regarding the kids ST was a sign of good ST sales.

Any of you ghuys down at Haggerston Castle this week?
Get my email from Paul67 and we can meet for a beer.
Seen loads of celtic and celtic related tops. Deadco are not as prominent as they once were. mint!!
Magnificentseven
Spot on mate, the 50 quid ticket was the hun opt out one that my son has, I renewed automatically and have the ticket at that price. The club have decided to stop selling tickets at this price as those seats were sold at 40 odd quid a pop for the hun games they won’t sell at that price for Dundee or sell out.
The club have decided to do away with that ticket knowing there is no value in the empty seats for the Dundee games.
IMHO a poor dicsision by the club but I understand why they did it.
Gebhoy in very warm Alcudia still looking for somewhere to watch the game tommorow!

How the devil are you….have missed you greatly at Paradise….get your erse there on Saturday, OR YOU’LL HAVE ME TO ANSWER TO…
Pana were even money tonight, grr.
Tomorrow
Celtic 2/5
HJK 9/1
Draw 4/1
I’m playing guess the nut here……..empty 2 bags of nuts on the table……1 chilli…….1 salt n vinegar…….and have a dozen bottles of Corona handy……for cleansing the palate between each nut. Idea is to mix the nuts then eat them 1 at a time….shouting out the flavour at the top of your voice….just to annoy the wife….then as suggested…..cleanse palate using Corona chilled to -10o.
Great game with the added bonus that it does the wife’s head in.

another thing
crossing the ball into the box
watched Spain there in June
they rarely just aimlessly crossed the ball into the box
Motherwell team just swinging a leg from way out wide hoping Higden and outjump 4 guys in the box every time
nope ! nae use !
Spain’s tactic was generally …recylce the play
or put it on Silva’s head, if you must
Awe Naw
Cheers amigo. Pity about the poor spelling:o)
sftb. if you don’t think you’ve been stiffed by the actions of that mob then you should stick to volleyball!! Enjoy the game tomorrow. HH.
The wee hun ginger mullet’s words come back to haunt him as Murderwell get pumped oot the cup.

BRTH re Sean Fallon
You’re right, a lovely, self-effacing man of the people (not THOSE people!). I met him up at Christ the King church in Kingspark where, as you say, he still lives. I was going in to see the priest with my soon-to-be wife and her father when my prospective father-in-law bumped into Sean on the way out. Cue some good craic and a delay going into the church as yer man enquired after us, how we were and so on, then was ever so happy to talk about the good days past and the good days to come. Oh and his brougue was as thick as ever!
CHILLI……….gulp….
