18 October has been in the diary for a while. Today is the day teams in European competition have to submit their accounts for last season to Uefa. If you are in European competition, your accounts must be ready to publish. If they are ready and you have not published them, why?
Celtic’s accounts were published a month ago; Celtic have nothing to worry about or hide. Newco have yet to let their fans know what the figures look like. They will eventually be published, of course, when we will gain an insight into why they were unable to spend in the transfer market after qualifying for the Champions League.
I also expect to see the resolution of their dispute with Sports Direct International. At the lower end, this could be a charge in the region of £2m, but at the punitive end, it could be as high as £8m. It will also be interesting to read whether they could afford to settle this debt outright or had to commit to a long-term payment plan. Knowing what a slick operation Newco are, I expect a punitive settlement that overreaches their immediate resources and a decade long mortage-type payment.
As in politics, money eventually outs you in football. When we read club accounts we cannot get the thrill we get from a match result, but the consequences are far greater.
There is something incredibly endearing about Frank McGarvey. He is out there, facing the illness no one likes talking about, without awkwardness or hushed tones. Everyone has to find their own way to deal with illness, we are not all like Frank, but again, facing this hurdle, he has given us an example to admire.

I have sank many pints of Guinness in Darky Keely’s, you do know she was a woman of ill repute ? There used to be a great Republican band played in there called the Irish Celts , they used to raffle a lot of stuff during their gig , Bobby Sands adorned bodrhans etc, stayed in the Harding Hotel next door many times , enjoy the Black stuff 👍

Thanks for that it was an interesting read, Article perfect reply to Rob Wotton, this Rob Wotton
Wotton went on to ask: “Does it highlight the need for education on issues like this? Is that something you’d be for?”
Maybe , I missed it, I read Lionsroar calling Ernie, Andrew but I can’t remember him calling him Andrew Smith.
Maybe I missed it or maybe just delusional.
AT,
nicked from your feed.

A short discussion about differences betwen Glasgow and Edinburgh , some voice-over from Billy Connolly, footage of the old Celtic Park and a brief appearance by the legendary Father Mick O’Connell.
Magical stuff 💚

Well he is either delusional, and should seek help, or is deliberately lying, and should be called out as a liar.
The other aspect of course is that he has left Paul67 open to a defamation action by Andrew Smith.
If any journalist working in Scottish football had posted some of the stuff I’ve posted on here over the years he’d be sacked.
Superb homage to Andrew Watson on Google search page.Scotland .Scotland captain Black.give a go and read

CRC,
they could have played both of them together, and kept the score down to 6 maybe
Parkroad 67
I’m staying in the Harding for about the 6th time. Great hotel and pub. Hail Hail young fella. 👍🇮🇪
He did not call you Andrew Smith. There was no defamation there.
Ernie, in order to resolve this case of alleged mistaken identity, why don’t we meet up at CQN corner at the next home game? Surely that will resolve it. It is quite close to the Celtic View offices, so you should know it well or not as the case may be😉

and should be called out as a liar.
Take up the invitation offered and call it out….. that will resolve all the issues
Happy to take this offline, exchange e-mails, or meet up, your call to call me out, I’m sure the blog has had enough

The MSM ignores anti-Irish / anti-Catholic abuse. Wear your poppy or else. Not a cult, definitely not a cult.
Maintain a myth like NI is ‘Our wee Country’, or that the Royal Family is not a Firm. Move along Timmy – nothing to see here.

We love it in there great base to be in , wee bit of history in that street it was where Handel’s Messiah was first performed as well as Darky Keely’s exploits 😂😂, did you get to Sheehan’s earlier btw ? Another great wee boozer 👍🇮🇪🍺🍺
Lots of delusional old duffers on here. But LIONROARS67 and SFTB certainly are not.

or Andrew Smith may be contacting Paul67 and asking who exactly is Ernie Lynch and why is he claiming to speak on my behalf that I will be looking into raising a defamation action
LIONROARS67 on 18TH OCTOBER 2022 8:42 PM
As I said you’re either delusional (in which case, and please don’t take this the wrong way, you’ll understand why I would wish to avoid any contact with you), or you are deliberately lying.
But you can clarify matters for yourself by contacting the Scotsman.
You could of course post your ‘evidence’ on here.
No reason why not, so on you go.
Parkroad 67, been with family for a while after Kehoes. Managed a pint in Nearys and then a swarm of locusts descended upon us. Also known as my female cousins. They would frighten the Marines. Some of them are probably Marines. 😳
Well the Moderator’s call for intelligent debate to make a return is certainly going well.
I suspect the majority of the posters nowadays weren’t around when intelligent debate was the norm.
That’s not a coincidence.
Is this what psychologists would call a Freudian slip ?
The other aspect of course is that he has left Paul67 open to a defamation action by Andrew Smith.

Em naw.🤔
Ernie, I can meet you?
ERNIE LYNCH on 18TH OCTOBER 2022 8:50 PM
Contact the editor of the Scotsman, may I ask do you know the editor ?
Is he a friend of yours ?
Why would the editor of the Scotsman know a poster on CQN with the nom de plume Ernie Lynch
What would be the point of asking………….
You contact him then post the evidence
This is fun.

Well it wasn’t very intelligent to introduce Mental Health in the exchanges, gutter level debating
And I can bring a CQN pal who you know well.😉
This gets even funnier.

This is fun.
Order popcorn with your next pint of Guiness
I’m delusional – please help me.
Like ERNEST, I now promise not to put another penny into Celtic and that will fix Scottish football (or is it empty Hamden?). So to follow that logic through I will not pay any money into anything that will mean Celtic financially benefit. I have also decided that after FIFA giving the World Cup to Qatar, that I will watch all the games – or is that me admitting I need help? Now I am confused!
Support football – for as long as it is not Celtic CSC
Non-supporting Celtic supporters who support football and go on a Celtic supporters blog. ISSUES?
Ernie, Are you saying that the majority of us are incapable of intelligent debate,?
You obviously are not now a Celtic Supporter, The standard of debate here is not up to your standards,
Why on earth are you still hanging around.?
Could it be that you simply enjoy taking the piss and annoying people,
Is Ange related to Dominic McKay?
Hmmm?
Popcorn ordered and film on Netflix. Thanks gentlemen. Above all, thanks to the not a penny more EL.
Laugh a minute CSC

I call it hoist by your own petard popcorn.
The famous Glasgow Celtic is playing tomorrow guys
