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.

Only buy these if none of the profit goes into Celtic Football.
Night all (even the non-supporting Celtic supporters).

‘Ernie, Are you saying that the majority of us are incapable of intelligent debate,?’

Well there’s certainly a number of the newer members who are prolific posters and who have shown no such ability.
You’ve been on here long enough to know how standards have dropped.
Good evening, friends.
I’ll start by saying I’m rarely on this site these days and so I’ve probably missed most of the background context. However I am able to exclusively reveal that for the ole POTY thing I don’t remember EVER having received an email from Ernie Lynch. Or from Andrew Smith for that matter. I also recognise that voting isn’t compulsory. That’s all.

Hmmm. What was it Sherlock said?

You wanted Liosroar to contact your boss, with evidence of your identity. I can do that if you wish. Are your ready for the investigation? I believe journalists are meant to follow a code of conduct and you admit by your own posting that some of the posts are unacceptable?

Andrew Smith, do not know him or his forte as a journalist. But anyone who can knock Madus Mitchy off the topic of conversion must be very interesting.
Knowledge is strength. Google explains a lot.
HH to all newish and veteran posters.
Thank you, SS, for posting that video that included Big Mick, as I have said before, he is the only priest whom I have heard regularly called such rather than Father. He never was Parish Priest but he ran Parkhead. Brought back wonderful memories. Thanks again.
Big Mick was a complete one off. The only time I was in Sir Robert Kelly’s home, Big Mick took myself and 3 or 4 other kids there en route to the coast for the day. No one ever raised an eyebrow, nor was there any need. Last time I met him was at Hampden just after his golden jubilee. He still remembered me, as the son of my father, whom he knew very well.

Hi Bhoys
Does anyone know if you can take the stadium tour without the dining option.
KEEP THE FAITH
JOBO BALDIE on 18TH OCTOBER 2022 9:39 PM
evening,
did you get any votes from madmitch or the kevj franchise of monnikers ?
I did the stadium tour before covid and dining was not necessary
Not sure if it’s changed
Great assist from Eddy

If you want to contact an editor to claim that I am one of their journalists and that I use the word hun and should therefore be sacked please do so.
And do please let us know how you get on.
A team called Queens Park United, had a church that cost nothing to get in.

Is there no end to this folly?
SAINT STIVS AT 9.47 – Some folk include their blog name on their email. Others are identifiable from their email address (e.g. jobobaldie@yahoo… ). But to be fair, most emails come from real world human beings, some of whom I’ve linked to their monikers.
So, whilst I DO receive emails from ‘Kevin’ and also from folk whose votes are clearly ‘Mad’ I cannot confirm nor deny that these are from KevJ or Mr Mitch.
Not sure using the word Hun is a sackable offence ?
When did that become law

Does he live in Croydon?
Has he ever lived in Croydon?
Hope the Bhoys put on a show Tomorrow,
Kyogo needs a goal , I reckon he will get 2 tomorrow.
With that forecast Ill wish ye all a Good Night & God Bless.
BTW Andrew, I don’t want you or anybody sacked but your level of posting over the years has been v. poor/ gutter press level.
By your own admission you now admit to using the Hun word, so I hope we do not have any FF inflitrators on here or indeed rival journalists? I am sure the Scotsman with their high level of standards will be interested and want to conduct their own investigation.
Good luck
