Lots of frustration around today at the possibility the first leg of the Champions League qualifier will be switched to Belfast. It will be no comfort to those who booked travel yesterday but we are in this situation every qualifying game. The draw is made and confirmed a day or two later, which is why clubs (including Celtic) and CQN yesterday ran a “Don’t book travel until…” piece. On most occasions nothing is changed which means fans are caught out when change happens.
No reason why Uefa can’t deal with this on the day of the game, or exclusively on the basis of strict criteria. I hope they deny this request, which is not in Celtic’s favour and clearly not in fan’s best interest.
Two items to draw your attention to today:
Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust
Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust are undertaking a sponsored cycle of all SPL grounds this September in attempt to get to our £100k fundraising target. This money will be used to help on the battle to fight skin cancer working with organisations such as Beatson Cancer Centre. The event is called Tour for Tommy and will span 5 days, 12 clubs and 380 miles of cycling before returning to Celtic Park on Sunday 15th September. Ex-Celts such as Packie Bonner and Frank McGarvey are joining in as the full event and Bertie Auld will be completing the last day. The event is looking to team up with the fans of each club to join them on a leg from their stadium to the next.
The group have much of the logistics in place and most of the riders, but they need more help. Each of the four main days are being offered for sponsorship with day one already taken up. In return the 30-40 core riders will get their clothing made with that company’s logo as well as any signage on press releases at the stadiums among other benefits (full pack available upon request). The Tour has already received great coverage from Sky Sports with further commitment to track the whole event.
In addition the charity are looking for donations of anything from water bottles, energy bars/drinks to medical supplies and biking mechanical supplies.
If you are interested in getting involved in any way you can contact scottmcgarvey@gmail.com. You can donate here, follow on Facebook and twitter (@tommyburnsSCT).
I know many of you will be aware of the work done by Celtic fans for the people of Haiti as part of the Hoops For Haiti campaign. This is another aspect of the incredible work done by Celtic fans and a credit to our club. You can read their blog here and get involved here.

I was astounded of forehead to learn on CQN [SIMBT] that ole Kirk Numbnuts has an agent.
Not an easy assignment; a client with a face like an ole root vegetable who can’t be trusted to boil an egg without ending up in an ole ambliance.

Sorry to hear you will miss the game if uefa allow the switch.
It’s the opposite regarding myself, fly back on the 22nd.

Nearly every post you scribe includes a degree of sarcasm towards someone ……. I make no apology for my opinion that we are supporters of, and contribute to a very well run Club…..some of us feel we should go for the ‘jugular’, and some of us feel we should concentrate on developing our own Club, despite all the corruption that’s going on around us, as has been the case for over 100 years…….they have always tried to destroy us, and destroyed themselves in the process ….. I say, let them continue down their ruinous path and, when the dust settles (BDO / Courts), then see what the creditors, other Clubs can retrieve from the ‘mess’ …… You say, we can’t get compensation from the ‘corrupt ones’, so let’s sue the Celtic Board for compensation……
I don’t have any issue at all with any questions being asked of our Board…….you just need to stop having issues with anyone who would suggest that suing the Major Celtic Shareholders for the shoite going on in Scottish Football might not be the right ‘question’……
Why not ask the Board what they are going to do to recoup Celtic’s losses when BDO / TTT / Courts finally ‘nail’ SDM etc…… (There are a few major shareholders who are not on the Board …..MON, for example)
Hopefully, any response will, at least, be in line with allowing supporters their view, without suggesting they are HAPPY CLAPPERS …….. Although I don’t mind that ‘accusation / tag’ ..LOL
I think Vic dodged a bullet if we didn’t let him go to QPR.
Champions League or Championship……..There’s a biggy.
Maybe Vic is rather clever and spots the same scenario with either Southampton or Cardiff. Not ALL fitba players have mince fur brains.
It would appear though that when Vic’s agent was in the queue for heads, he thought they said beds and asked for a big saft wan.

Great post this morning.
It is perhaps understandable that some of us have grown weary and frustrated at the silence from others over Charlotte’s revelations, but as the full extent of the story unfolds we can see quite clearly why the MSM are trying to keep a lid on things.
All the more reason why we must support your efforts to bring this shameful story to a wider audience.
Where are the agent ‘quotes’ lifted from. and is there a possibility that the actual meaning has been lost in translation.

Good for you, glad your on board

That is exactly what SSN were reporting this morning.
I think this guy is a total clown and is trying to gert as much cash from big Vic as possible.
Someone should take the big man aside and advise him to get shot of his agent asap.

Canamalar,
Your diplomatic skills have started to blossom now that you have become a high profile campaigner. :¬)))
How are the numbers stacking up ?
Oooplah !

Temporary seating will be errected on the waterworks end of the ground which will add approx 1000 futher seats to the capacity.
***************************************************
No decision has been made on whether or not a temporary stand will be erected there as of yet. The fact that the dug outs are quite high themselves plus the fact that they would be limited access to the stand and further more and the most important being that it’s actually quite unsafe.
Weeminger,

That is some career switch is it not. A recognised sports journalist, going on talk shows and getting paid for it,mixing with the SPL elite and gives all that up to do a bit of flower arranging.
Wonder if the company he is with has any sevconian connections?
Paul67 – Celtic do not agree to anything that isn’t in Celtic’s best interests.
Why would Celtic,(or any club for that matter)disagree to having the opportunity to play the first leg of a European tie away from home,what with the obvious advantage such a scenario brings with it?
Secondly…Why book travel to a game before the original date was even decided?And furthermore,why would you even want to book travel to a game that you do not have a ticket for,and very little chance of getting a ticket?
It’s Belfast,not Seville.
If anyone has booked hotels,these bookings can easily be cancelled,at no cost whatsoever.
Anybody that has booked a cheap flight,or a seat on the boat – I feel very sorry for them…but sure they most probably wouldn’t have got a ticket anyway,so they might as well just stay for those two days and enjoy a wee break.

Named after ICs character in Boyz N Tha Hood.
To be fair to Gerry McCulloch on twitter he is engaging with people unlike anyone else in the media. When Tom English was asked who put the story in the Scotsman which was very similar to a copy Jack Irvine sent to the paper he went in the huff and started talking rugby.
Bomber Brown has turned up at Darrell’s, all agitated and spoilin’ for a fight, demanding to see the weeds.
I think celtic want vic transfer more than vic wants it himself.
Hard situation..get max amount now or keep him and have hooper situation again nxt season.
Tough call
KK,
:o)
Still very slow, 30 and I reckon we’ll need about 120-150 to ensure we cover any flounders or fibbers.
Hail Hail
Dawyl’s taking this gardening leave a bit far……….

And there will likely be issues with overseas supporters, trying to get their signatures, I nee to look into legalities of scanned or faxed signed docs.
