For some months now, a CQN’er and academic has prepared a project to identify who we, the Celtic support, are in 2014, what our views are, where we come from and how closely our objectives align with the Club.
The project takes the form of a questionnaire, which asks some personal questions, like your political leanings, intentions for the Referendum, faith, education and ethnic heritage. No sign-up is involved and no identifying information is available.
There are also questions on the Offensive Behaviour Act, as well as the Club’s response to Resolution 12, The Green Brigade and the Living Wage.
The objective is to determine why you support Celtic and whether these reasons are being recognised and served.
I know Celtic have held similar surveys in the past but I’m not aware of a recent academic survey into these questions. The survey will close on Friday 26th September and results will be reported thereafter.
As with all surveys, the more people who participate the more reflective the results will be, so please 10 minutes to get involved. You’ll find the survey here.
If you have any questions for the author in relation to the survey please email cqn.survey@orange.fr
Thanks.
Pertaining to the above are allegations made about Aleks Tonev over the weekend.
It’s difficult to see where this one goes if the player says “I didn’t say that” without corroboration either way. Despite this, the allegation is damaging to Celtic, and to the player, so an internal and public reaction is needed to reiterate the values of the club.
Celtic’s induction process should be clear what is and is not acceptable.

The same kind that accepts a knighthood I suppose.

Friesdorfer,
I just logged on and realised reading your post, (first thing I saw), that my ignorance of my new windows 8 pales significantly to my ignorance of Irish history.
A rude awakening! But thanks.
Clynelish 1997 Connoiisseurs Choice (Gordon & MacPhail) did the damage. (3/4 bottle….so far.)

It would be very easy for the coming Antichrist to be called a Muslim, that doesn’t make sense, howevaah.
Noone knows the Specifics but most know that the Time is drawing near.
The Man that will deceive the World is more likely to be a Counterfeit of Christ, this means he will likely present himself as a Jew, the Revelator John warns about the Jews who are not Jews.
Onto more topical matters.
Ronny D has been supported with the acquisitions on deadline day.
Anything this season is a bonus. Next season I expect to see a whole new Celtic First Team and with 2, 3 or hopefully 4 or 5 youth team products pushing to be in the Champions League squad.

Tommy wanted nothing more than the Celtic kids to be Champions League players.
It isn’t easy to play fitba the Celtic Way at the highest level because of the negative coaches like Mourinho and many like him who have besmirched the Beautiful game.
And smoking inherited cigars…….this post because I can’t seem to be able to press the refresh button so easily….
I hope when the Celtic Family are examining their values, that all the support they have given to people throughout the world who are seeking freedom and justice is not lost when it comes to their own country. To allow Westminster to rule our country and trample us into the dirt would be an act beyond comprehension. I had to laugh at the comment made from Saturday’s march by the orangemen through Edinburgh….” Nationalism is a divisive evil”. Well, they should know. If Scotland votes for Independence, they are a thing of the past with nothing to hang on to but their cancerous bile and Northern Ireland will quickly follow. We can have no other choice but a YES vote.
but does anyone know a hansome hun ?
…never seen a single one.

My actor nephew( Through marriage) has a good role in that show.
Plot spoilers any one?:-)
I was 10 year old fresh from Sutherland in 1972….attending Bellahouston Primary.
An education. I pushed leaflets for Margo against Selby.
Descended from the cleared people of Strathnaver, I loved Margo.
Free Scotland.
Freedom from the oppression I felt as a child having to hide while my Dad shot a few grouse for our dinner.
Never left the croft. In my head.
I tell my children I’m brainwashed….that everyone is brainwashed.
Try and rise above what every human being is subjected to……which is conditioning.
So I say to them…I don’t care what the result is…..it’ll be some good, some bad.
Just get on with things.
Look after your own and everyone who needs help.
Work hard…whatever you believe.
And help others along the way.
And by the way, Luke Kelly is my heart felt greatest singer of all my life.
Proudbhoy saw ur post and went to respond but I was on Megabus from Boston to NY and my wifi was exceeded reading CQN. I was hoping to go to Doc Watsons for the music.

Have a great time in Baaasston…

Interesting piece in The Telegraph.
“The FA confirmed on Monday that neither Costa nor Senderos would face retrospective action for their conduct on Saturday.
Costa, who went on to score a hat-trick against Swansea, appeared to swing his left arm at Sigurdsson after the pair tussled during a Chelsea free-kick. The latter went down clutching his face but Costa went unpunished.
Senderos, meanwhile, delivered a snide kick to the back of one of Balotelli’s legs which again appeared to go unnoticed by the officials.
The actions by both Costa and Senderos were deemed by the match referees upon reviewing the incidents to have warranted only yellow cards.
The FA has the power to take retrospective action against sending-off offences.”
Compare that to how our players are hounded,given two-match bans for a simple yellow-card offence.
After the obligatory media witch-hunt,of course.
This whole Indy saga highlights a clear issue that everyone should bear in mind at all times:
Just because someone is rich and famous, or even just famous, does not mean their opinion is worth listening to.
(Unfortunately, it is a fact that people do tend to listen to someone famous, as if they even know the first thing about which they are talking. The entire Advertising industry exploits this. )
Similarly, just because your friend or relative has a certain opinion does not carry any more weight than yours.
Just because someone else is voting YES or NO does not mean you should do so.
Make up your own mind based on what YOU consider is best for you and your fellow citizens.
Lemmings shouldn’t get the vote!

Or where there is no yellow at all for the phantom offence by Tonev.

Election day in Clydebank fairly recently.
I voted SNP.
But later I walked past the town hall.
All alone, on top of the building, in the town where it belonged.
A simple red flag flying in the breeze.
After a Yes vote, we can vote where our hearts are.
Mea culpa
I assume the lemmings comment was a poor attempt at humour – if not you really need to read up the lemmings democratic party some more.
Many voters can not decipher the lies & pr from the relevant facts and many politicians wanted it that way. They are confused – because they are trying to understand something that is not understandable. So they revert to emotional and other shortcuts.
As for voting for what is best you and your fellow citizens then frankly you have been reading too much Harry Potter. Forget your fellow citizens. That is one of the factors that baffles the regular punter. He can only focus on what he feels or knows. The guy next door will have to vote for his own interests.
Celebreties have unfair influence but so do politicians who want us to think they wear tartan underpants, and lie to our face.
Both sides are happy to raise their own profile by using whoever they think will attract even one more vote.
Some lemmings are actually leading.
Any Irishman or woman that accepts Royal titles should be immediately stripped of their Irish Citizenship. Being a citizen of a Republic is incompatible with such things.

Indeed,mate. I could tell from your posts yesterday that you didnae believe it either.
Having a breather from the little monsters?
Completed the survey and was one section I really could not answer other than “other”. I reffer to the question regarding what you consider yourself. From memory the options were Irish, of Irish decent ,Scottish and other.
It actually brought to mind a recent post from Paul where he made the comment that he has never described himself as Britich. I can relate to this but have often reffered to myself as “Celtic” not a refference to our team but to my feeling of who I am culturally.
I find it decribes how I see myself better than choosing either Scottish or Irish as I am an each in equal proportion and certainly not British as this associates me with primarily England who have highjacked “British” as a synonym for “English”.
I feel a genuine affinity to calling myself “Celtic” as it embraces both sub cultures of my heritage and to distinguish myself as one or the other actually seems to promote a devisiveness depending on who you are talking to being either Irish or Scottish as if by doing so you are choosing one over the other.
In closing will add I have identified myself as Celtic since a young age and long before I became concious of the ” us and them” nature of being Scottish or Irish that presents itself in many political and cultural debates.
Wee PS to my last post my choice of username is actually refference to fitba and was chosen 15 years or so back when the oppertunity to disscuss fitba became a part of the online experience. It is basically the national team I support and the club I support.
I guess this could be seen as making a decistion one way or the other but not really simply more to do with who I followed first as while I have an great affection for the ROI fitba team you cannot support two sides not to mention at 50 when I was at the age where loyaties are established the ROI side was well and truely a non entity in fitba terms where as I can imagine many of the younger generation have within our support have experienced the reverse given the Scottish sides time spent in the wilderness of international fitba . Akin to St MIrren being a team I barrack for ,lest they be playing us as they are the team of my birthplace.
Street Mirren is that in France near street Paris Germany
