Time for the war face, Celtic

399

You can be sure that pretty much everyone at Celtic Park and Lennoxtown has been walking around with a smile on their face since Saturday. The players have delivered enormously this season and now have a few weeks to prepare for a cup final which could deliver the treble.

Before then they face one of the league’s most professional sides. St Johnstone were the last Scottish team to beat Celtic and can still eye the possibility of finishing third.

They will win at Celtic Park if we pitch up with anything short of a focussed and on form first team. I know the cup final is the priority, but we are five games from an incredible achievement.

    There have been several “rumours” of damage but no-one can produce pictures!

     

     

    Make of that what you will!

    I know mate, if there were pictures….

     

     

    Just wondering what are the responsibilities and authority of our stewards at an away ground.

  3. FAO VFR800,

     

    Cheers mate, an email on it’s way in a few minutes.

     

    I appreciate you taking the time and trouble over this.

    Grenade just been launched by Findlay. Leads Shanks (the witness) down the path of saying Murray got MIH back for ÂŁ1 if the sale to Whyte went through by April.

     

     

    Now produces a letter from Lloyds stating “in connection with proposed sale, as far as we are concerned ÂŁ1 is the sole consideration for the sale of RFC, no benefit to Murray”

     

     

    OOOFT!

    Agree. I posted similar last night. These people being charged under the OB act will only promote justification of the act.

    Any of them could be charged under legislation that existed prior to the OBaF Act!

  7. I would like to think Eboue,Griff,will play the remainder of the league games.Both need game time.Izzy,Gamboa,given games.Biton,Forrest,Rogic,same.No major changes or real weakening of the team.

     

    We have a fantastic squad of players.I am sure Brendan will use them wisely,with an eye on the Treble,and a record breaking season.

     

    Lets face it,all the players mentioned have something to play for.Match fitness and a place in the Cup Final team or a place on the bench.

     

    In Brendan I trust.

    Absolutely. However it will be spun by certain politicians to justify the act.

     

     

    HH and scrap the act. After all it’s what the Scottish Parliament voted for.

  10. williefernie on

    Recent reports suggest Brendan may buy two ready made players.On current team selections the immediate future of Emilio,Nir,Gary,Liam and possibly Eric could be in serious doubt.I would hope a couple of the young lads are ready to make their mark.HH.

    GREENPINATA,

     

     

    I prefer my racists to be charged with just that so they can wear there convictions like a big badge.

     

     

    To convict using OB act muddies the waters until his name disappears from the chip wrappers and it becomes “just a football thing”.

  12. A STOR MHA CHROI

     

     

    I don’t know if it is part of their remit but at the New Year Game at Ibrox, a Celtic Official did count the number of broken seats after the game finished. It was under 70 if your interested.

  13. Condolence to the family and friends of Barca Mole and to SFTB on the loss of his brother.

     

     

    I like to think for no other reason than it is comforting to do so, that on death our eternal spirit that is a part of God, not apart from God, carries on, enriched by the human experience of each of our God given lifes.

    A very nice thought, expressed beautifully. I hope some of our friends can find some comfort in your words.

     

    Thank you for sharing that.

  15. ohhhh how desperate were they…….

     

     

    Rangers (IL) used Wonga money from Ticketus to fund Jelavic purchase

  16. Lloyds BOS – wanted Rangers (IL) to use Ticketus to reduce monies owed to them Lloyds BOS….. Out of the frying pan into the fire….

  17. Back on the more Earthly plane it is interesting trying to discern from court testimony just what the defense strategy of DF actually is.

     

     

    It does look like he is trying to roll back a narrative in the jury’s mind that our SMSM cultivated that CW alone is the cause of Rangers demise. Social media users will already be aware of the failings in that narrative but are all of the jury on social media.? So it’s an education exercise for now.

     

     

    It has concentrated so far on pre Takeover activity but I await with interest focus, probably from the prosecution, on what happened after the 6th May in respect of CWs undertakings.

     

     

    Tic toc, tic toc.

     

     

    Before the Celtic AGM signatories to Res12 and Mandate were provided with an update based on lawyer activity on their behalf but asked to wait until trial over.

     

     

    Celtic were provided with same plus an enhanced version including material that might come out in court. Celtic were given same advice to wait and already in the admission that a liability around the wtc bill existed in March 2011, the wisdom of waiting is proving to be right

     

     

     

    It’s all unfolding almost as scripted and once the trial is over, if nothing changes the script,very serious questions are going to need answering from those in charge of events, both from 2000 to 2012 and even more serious, from 2012 to date.

    Email shows Jelavic transfer backed by loan from Ticketus, “not to appear on accounts”

    Findlay says hidden from shareholders?

     

    Shanks “Not in accounts’

     

    Findlay “They hid the use of Ticketus?”

     

    Shanks “Yes”

  19. Anyone remember No Paseran?

     

     

    Met him a few times on the Costa but only found out his CQN name last weekend.

     

     

    Lovely human being.

  20. So “Rangers” used Ticketus for working capital every year including it would seem for transfer fees.

     

     

    Also their Chairman was living in cloud cuckoo land regards money it seems, will be interesting to see Alistair Johnston’s testimony

  21. JC2

     

     

    Jelavic played a key role in Rangers winning the title in 2010/11.

     

     

    That he was paid for essentially by a loan is typical of Rangers Von Ryan Express business plan where instead of using the racks already travelled on, they used tracks from the road as far as head as they could reach.

     

     

    Just how that was done can be demonstrated but will have to wait in case it comes out in court and yet it appears the same business plan is being followed with no questions asked by SFA.

     

    Insanity.

  22. Auldheid – loan paid on the never-never or CL qualification for next 3 years…….

     

     

    Were you aware of Murray agreement with bank to dispose of Rangers (IL) by April and once bank got paid he could get MIH back for ÂŁ1? (Didn’t know he’d lost it to be honest)

     

     

    Who would have thought that ÂŁ2 could buy so much! lol

  23. Drip, drip, drip drip, it’s all coming out guys, keep your powder dry, no false stars, wait for the starters pistol :) a wee bit to go yet.

    It’s all beginning to unravel for those who set the narrative as the truth seeps out.

     

    Ask a question, show an email, ask another question, show a document and my favourite so far, I’m giving you the chance to give your position on issues that may arise later in the case, he’s used that a couple of times now.

     

     

    And this is supposed to be the prosecutions case.

  25. Margaret McGill on

    I think Findlay is doing a great job to get Whyte off of fraud because he is proving that the real fraudster is Murray. As I said Whyte will be found not guilty of fraud and guilty of the lesser companies act charge. Thats why there will be no consequences. There will be no title stripping, knighthood stripping, jail time nothing. Also I dont think there will be any just consequences even for EBT’s. The SFA will be insulated from any culpability and Scottish football will move on milking the bigot buck with a weakened rangers which is what most of you want anyway at least for another 4 years.

  26. Robinbhoy

     

     

    A Johnson will be a very interesting witness if called.

     

    Another to keep an eye on is David Grier and I’d love Andrew Dickson to be sworn in.

    I am not sure about the `most of you` part. If the `you` refers to CQNers, then I would have thought most would like to see any form of `Rangers` disappear and Ibrox demolished .

     

    If the `you` refers to DR reading Celtic supporters, then you may well be correct.

    Celtic supporters. Not any particular category if there is any.

  29. Margaret McGill.

     

     

    I don’t see any direct connection between the CW trial and title stripping.

     

     

    The SC findings on the use of ebts will be the determining factor there, but more important will be the determination of supporters to make action essential thereafter.

     

     

    There is a lot of anger from supporters who for years followed Celtic everywhere at great emotional and financial cost and I would not underestimate the strength of that anger.

     

     

    If nothing is done it will be down to the number of supporters who don’t mind paying any bigot buck compared to those that do.

     

     

    There are too many twists and turns and lies to be exposed to predict what will happen.

  30. Mags

     

     

    My experience is that, on here, most do not want to ` milk the bigot buck` but Tims in the pubs etc, seem to believe that Sevco are Rangers and they enjoy the rivalry .

  31. When the time of title comes and no one knows if it will or won’t happen, I honestly couldent give Rats A… right now is not the time for that speculation on thems, 1967 apart this I can say is my best year ever as a Celtic supporter (Sad in other ways, but that visits us all unfortunately) but yes supporter wise you honestly couldent get it any better, if someone would have told you last year this is where we would be, you’d get them certified, you would, I think of my friends and family who have passed on and are watching from best seats in the house, and live and love every moment for them, please don’t take this as me being morbid here, it’s the exact opposite, I just get so pleased for everyone and everything Celtic these days, such a joy as the song goes H H.

    Green and ensuing 4 year debacle

     

    fraud charge.

     

    Whyte Trial.

     

    Thats a simplified summary of what I saw.

     

    As for the trial I am sticking my neck out on a prediction as for nothing being done I agree with your comment.
