After yesterday’s discussion on values, what we’re all about and where we’re going, today’s announcement by the Foundation that they will have a badge day at the Dundee United game on 11 May is something that requires us to step forward and do something about.
“Volunteers will be in place at all turnstile areas and supporters will be asked to make a donation of minimum £1 in return for a badge, which illustrates the new Celtic FC Foundation crest. All monies raised on the day will support our work challenging homelessness in the Glasgow area.”
I’m going to volunteer. You should too. It will mean getting to the game a wee bit earlier but it will also mean you can look those values we all preach in the eye. Words are easy but on this occasion, so are actions. Let’s do it.
I’ll find out how you volunteer and report back soon.

Since Kojo is so concerned about who is, or is not, a ‘practicing Catholic’…. Let me go back to things that this TROLL has in the past posted.
” Whit a like aboot being a Catholic is that ye kin commit any sin ye like.
Then ye kin go tae confession & ye will be forgiven yer sins.
Then ye kin start aw ower again.”
That is what this clown ACTUALLY posted on this site.

Exactly, the English FA took a long, long time to produce an Anelka guilty charge, if that can be considered a comparable charge.
I’d expect the pre judged, much maligned ‘daft’ young footballer to have the best of lawyers.
Celtic are correctly staying quiet while the due process is followed, despite continuing MSM intrusion with Celtic players being asked questions the press have been told not to ask.

On songs of a discriminatory nature.
One silver lining shining through Mr Lunny’s cloud today is that Celtic fans can now relax in the happy knowledge we won’t be serenaded by Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves at grounds, as we travel around the country.
Shame Scotland didn’t have a Compliance Officer during these last forty years as stadium DJ’s determined it was their role to tell us our place.
Sorry to disappoint you, Cher. Bet you wish you could turn back time.

I’m not responding to the point because to be honest I really don’t care,don’t you think this sounds just like the huns bitching about GCC? Do you give that any credence? What has a catholic majority on GCC done for Glasgow catholics?
BTW,I’m not having a go I’m just dismayed that despite how far the Irish catholics have come in Scotland there are some of us in our own community who still think we are second class citizens.
Not even going there its all just a smoke screen.
The big bad proddy’s are oot tae git ye!!!
As soon as we get independence I’m off doon the ludge to sign up……

I think two managers have specified game fitness with Atajic and McGeoch, as neither has had a season filled with regular games and neither are particularly pacy.
I suspect that a bit of it is to do with reducing the potential transfer fee, if any, to be earned but, it is a worry that our young boys have not kicked on when given a chance to play.
SFTB
Impressive knowledge, again.
Agree hundred percent with everything you said.
What I hear about these young guys, each of them needs couple of months to adapt life and football here. You are right when said we did not get best players from Fluminense. What I suppose those best are under “protection” from agents since they shown unusual talents. We will see how this will work this year.

Jock Stein lived it intensely. The only way he knew: with such passion that, at times, you could not be in your body. Not always show it. However, when in public or when gesticulating showed no anger or happiness by his few defeats and many victories, the man was kept those feelings in some glimmer of his heart. That day, September 10, 1985, could take no more. In the Ninian Park, Cardiff, Scottish selected should he directed rescue a point against Wales to access the Repechage against Australia, in the name of a place in the World Cup in Mexico 86. Those who were close to him told then that was perceived nervous, upset, looking worried. His team was down 1-0 after the first half and goalkeeper Jim Leighton confessed he had lost a contact lens and had no spare. Stein decided Faster: did enter the substitute Alan Rough, who had a good performance. In short, Davie Cooper included a wing of the unpredictable. And he who tied the game, was criminal. Those were the last two hits of Stein. At the end of the match he suffered a cardiac arrest. In the medical ward of the stadium tried to revive him. There was no case. The coach died. He was 62.
The next day, the British newspaper The Sun scandals shelved for a while and gave a tribute on its cover: “Jock, a gem of a man and a genius as a coach.” It was a phrase offered by John Paton, chairman of Glasgow Rangers, Stein archrival club, Celtic. Simultaneously, the Daily Express headline: “Cardiff Road Trailer Finals Mexico Stein dies in the big game.”. Pain was the most relevente news. In the inside pages, those who had known him portrayed in words. As former Liverpool manager Bob Paisley who said: “The Scottish owe much that I am sure you will not forget.” He was right Paisley. Jock remains a huge benchmark of football. In 2002, 17 years after his death, Stein was voted the best Scottish manager of all time. A while later, was located at the Hall of Fame football of his country, at Hampden Park.
That final scene forever marked his assistant, a young man named Alex Ferguson. ever expressed the trainer’s champion successful life Manchester United: “I do not shed a tear until after the flight from Cardiff to Glasgow and until I left for the highway to Aberdeen. Along the way I stopped at a rest area and directly fell apart … For people like me, Jock was the precursor of all the achievements and challenges that had to suck. ‘s never stayed with praise . was always about the players and how great was the team … That generosity speaks volumes about him. For anyone looking to improve their football training, Jock Stein was a university alone. ” There, Alex had graduated before building his glory.
-Jock Stein John to the world of football and his friends-was born in Burnbank, South Lanarkshire territory. Football was the way she found to escape more arduous tasks and much less attractive. At the time of adolescence he worked in a carpet factory and as a miner, a common occupation in this corner of Scotland, at the end of the thirties. Billy Elliot What happened in the film directed by Stephen Daldry, Jock happened in real life: his father did not want to embrace your passion. But as in the case of the dancer, ended up giving. At 18, he arrived at Blantyre Victoria. He played as a midfielder, center half, to record the time-and soon jumped into the professional field: Albion Rovers represented at Llanelli Town and in the last seven years of his career at Celtic.
The best, however, happen off the field of play. Stein began coaching the Dumferline Athletic (who took out champion Scottish Cup in 1961) and Hibernian. Her big step would right after: Celtic hired. He was one of the greatest successes of the Glasgow institution. With Stein as the most successful technical life cycle club was built. There went almost 700 games and lost just 94. Earned 24 local titles (including ten league nine consecutive) and the only European Cup for a team of Scotland. phrase uttered by Stein after winning the final against Inter Helenio Herrera, in Lisbon, define your search, his idea: “Not the victory that leaves me more satisfied But the way that we play football We did a pure football, sexy, full of inventiveness…” . That was the Soccer Jock.
The Lisbon Lions were called those guys who got the European Cup in the Portuguese capital. The scene of Captain Billy McNeill lifting the trophy is emblematic of the history of Scottish football and without forgetting that team gestated by Stein. Tommy Gemmell, intregrante team and author of a goal in the historic win, as explained later, the key to that invincible squad with a handful of words: “No Jock nothing would have been possible.” There was one significant stumbling block in the path almost perfect Celtic: Racing won him the final of the Intercontinental Cup. The goal of Chango Cardenas in the tiebreaker played in Montevideo, is also famous in Glasgow.
Celtic Park is a jewel of architecture and tradition. The stadium, built in 1892 and fully renovated between 1994 and 1998 – offers comforts of the Champions League and all rites available to British football. In there, since overcoming the Kerrydale Street, the tributes happening at every step. It is clear just by listening and watching: Stein was immense for all who share here another day and another party under the sky of Glasgow. What has quietly carved bronze statue Englishman John McKenna. What they say proudly, openly rejoiced that the glory. I repeat that in the booth Lisbon Lions buy souvenirs, scarves, pictures, shirts, balls for young people and children who are learning the legend. For neither Jock Stein died in Cardiff tonight. It is a legacy that is still beating.

15% increase in season ticket price by newco for next season glossed over by the evening news while elbows and Christian Dailly say what a wonderful job fat sleekit Ally is doing.Of course it has to be told that Leigh Griffiths has been hit by more serious charges .It would make you sick while on CQN the politicaly correct brigade cant wait to give Leigh the bullet I say lets support the player and let Celtic sort it out in there own way. H.H.
So let’s revisit the night of October 23, 1971
*once saw a punter with personalised licence plates that read “23 10 71” he also had a deid team pennant hanging from his rear view mirror.
SFTB-Thanks for reply,you could well be right re transfer fees,but when Shrewsbury say it has taken them weeks to get Atajic fit? They will want him to be able to play asap ,as they will be paying part of his wages. HH

Update on yer man Roger here….
http://www.rogerguerreiro.com.br/
Seems he’s currently plying his trade with Commercial of Riberão Preto in São Paulo state second division.
On the subject of signing Brasilians… why only Brasilians? There’s plenty of talented players in other South/Central American leagues. My observation of Brasilians is that signing one on his own has a high probablity of failure. Brasilian’s (as a generalism) don’t settle well where there aren’t other’s to keep them Company. Look at any team in Europe where there’s succesful Brasilians. There’ll rarely be one on his own in the squad – Chelsea, Shakthar, Porto, Inter Milan, PSG, etc, etc.
So, if we were (and I’d love it) to sign a Brasilian, it shouldn’t just be one.
Interesting watching the Chelsea v PSG Champions league game last night normally my support would be for anyone in the opposite camp of the EPL side but as both these teams occupy the world of fantasy soap opera football where they can have 50 million pound strikers sitting on the bench, neither had my support.
Celtic usually scour the lesser leagues to find players and it made we wonder how they missed out on young Hazard the young Belgian and Lewandowski the Polish striker.
hankray, I agree re: anyone but epl
it was made easier by the fact that it as actually a really good game
Who said this today:
“A lot of people I know have watched a lot of Rangers and they wouldn’t have won the Championship this season, No chance. Not a cat’s chance in hell.”
kojo ur some kid,aw the crows in ma nest are laughing loudly at ur posts,thank you sir ur celtic brother crowbhoy

If Celtic sign a Brazilian, maybe one of the channels will show the games live….nae mer bufferin’ :-)

The only practicing Catholic I know in Scotland is a home and away Hearts supporter who intends to vote -Yes .
My Rangers supporting pal ( he is also a Stalinist ) intends to vote – No . He thinks Nationalism stinks !
My Celtic supporting wee brother ( aged 57 ) is very much in the Vote No camp but admits to being a wee bit conflicted — A Yes vote would see him losing his job and receiving a big redundancy payment.——— enough to buy a wee place in the sun.
Naismith just said he has learned more from Martinez in 10 months than he did in his entire career up until then. Doesn’t say much for old Walt…….
I’m assured this is true,

Bada Bing,
Whose offensive singing was that Wilson complaining of? Am I right in thinking he has now been given a job on Radio Scotland? He’ll fit right in, of course. It would seem you have to be either an ex-player or known supporter of the deid team to get such a job. Why should we pay the licence fee to let the BBC in Scotland so obviously flaunt their lack of compliance with the rules and regulations that are supposed to govern their behaviour?
