The umbrella group, Fans Against Criminalisation, issued a statement yesterday (kindly published here by Joe O’Rourke on the Association site) which details a number of events in response to Saturday’s policing on Gallowgate, and the resulting response from the SNP government. Witnesses are invited to give evidence on Saturday (23rd March), with three protests planned next month.
To the relief of all, I’m sure, the statement also records that issues surrounding meetings two organisations had with the Club in November have been resolved.
Our Club and supporters groups are led by the kind of people you would trust with your most precious valuables, as many of us do. They each strive in new and innovative ways to herd cats in the right direction, with remarkable success. The tasks, carried out by hundreds of Celtic fans, of running buses, chasing tickets and navigating the impossible political challenges, is often thankless. I know a few who wonder why they bother.
They bother because they care. The office-bearers dedicate even more time looking after the common interests. There are more Celtic heroes than those who wear the hoops.
I hear Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, has appointed Jeffrey Webb, currently head of CONCACAF, as chief of a newly created Fifa body to fight racism in football. Mr Webb is a director of one of the largest banks in the Cayman Islands, known for its…. unique standards of propriety. Nice.
Quick word for Tommy in Glasgow…. brilliant!

Holy God.
The wifie on Radio 4’s The World Tonight covering the installation of the new Archbishop of Canterbury cannot pronounce the name ‘Augustine’.
And she asked Ruth Gledhill for comment.
Evening Bhoys & Ghirls
This Saturday afternoon through to Sunday evening on CQN, we will be delighted to be offering you the chance to win a fantastic and very unique auction prize.
We have been donated a bottle of Bowmore, straight from the cask from a very kind and generous CQNer. The Whisky is 60% and unlike a normal malt whisky, this has not been cut to the normal 40% proof.
I know that a couple of CQNers have already each received a bottle from this cask and can testify to it’s quality and taste. I believe a further CQNer also awaits his bottle. Each time, a very generous donation has been made to the Wee Oscar 4 Life fund.
However, not contend with donating 3 bottles from his share of the cask, we now have his prized possession:
Bottle no 1 of 251
A very special prize in aid of a special wee bhoy

It’s interesting to see changes in residential areas of Glasgow.
From the 1980s to 2012 a number of satellite images were used to determine the amount of gardens (green spaces)that had been developed (lost) through house extensions, conservatories, patios and mono-blocking.
The reason for this study was because a reduction of these green spaces is thought to have detrimental impacts. Especially in the west end, where apparently flood risk is high.
Less green space means less natural drainage, natural water filtration to the underground water table is reduced.
Increased pressure on drainage systems leads to flooding. Extra pressure on water treatment plants.
Biodiversity is reduced and pollution is increased. Heat island effects are increased as hard standing absorbs heat in built up areas during the summer.
Who’d have thunk it?
interesting huh?

iPhoneography, it’s an easy life.
Some results for an iphone.
When I think of the gadget bag I used to cart around.
From `75 I was in Celtic Films which often allowed us to sit behind the goals.
Mainly super 8,but I used to take colour slides.
These are now kind of difficult,or time consuming, to share

winning captains,
Thanks for your response, on Paul’s behalf.
Notwithstanding all that you wrote, I still maintain that the closing comment is not one that I believe he would make.
I don’t believe that Paul thinks that being a Celtic supporter carries a shield of immunity for bad behavior, even though that concept is popular on here
Praise when it is due, condemnation when it is due.
Yes, I have made mistakes.
I once misplaced an apostrophe and as the late journalist Con Houlihan said, ” Any man who can misplace an apostrophe, is capable of anything”.
From the celtic trust following their meeting with celtic plc –
“in the course of the discussion it emerged that Celtic does provide the personal details of supporters, which it holds on file, to the Police”.
From the Celtic plc
“Accusations suggesting that the Club is in some way involved in targeting supporters are ludicrous. These accusations have absolutely no foundation whatsoever and, of course, are very disappointing”.
Can anyone here explain why the club think these accusations are ludicrous???

Glasgow 1985 but could be this Summer
Don’t get me started on the East End, and the Celtic Triangle
neveralone,
Deary deary you, your bleating about a subject that you would rather be demoted as an insignificant irritant and try to qualify that by insisting that anyone who disagrees with your point of view, portray you as a lesser supporter. When in fact we both know, no one but you has made that claim. Yep I interpret your bleating as a complete lack of imagination, I also interpret your objection to the importance placed on the issue, by most other contributors as you wanting the issue demoted thus censored.
Now you want to engage me in semantics, still no imagination or offering of alternative discussion topic, pointless, honestly, why don’t you raise a topic you would rather discuss, there’s nothing to stop you scrolling past the stuff you don’t want to babble about, why get object if you don’t want it censored ?
Portray yourself as a martyr if that’s what you need to justify your interjection but honestly don’t expect us to humour or sympathise, when the whole premise of your argument is that we should ignore the harassment of our fellow supporters.

Ernie is right she was not a Cabinet Secretary so not in the Cabinet.
When RFC never had any Catholics they were sectarian and racist, when the SNP cant find a Catholic good enough to be in their cabinet it seems to be OK
crc
will do,
captainmoonlight asking about the fives..did you get back to him
CRC, driving down, 8-9 hours.
Taking the company car back, picking up new one.
I’ll also miss the game.
I’ll text Cowiebhoy and set a limit, if he has time to do it, no doubt it will go way over my limit.
I hope so anyway.

If you have such an affinity with the GB why did it take you until November 2012 to join their pro board,were you too busy on your dating sites
Ps my auld granny still has your profile picture pinned to her headboard so at least somebody loves you

Recent celtic trust statement has an update on standing area. I’d post link if I wasnt such a technophobe

Building Control have sent iit back to the club as they will have to invest significant money to get a safe standing area.
The gradient anywhere outside the south stand would mean a radical re-design of the stadium.

Have you read the celtic trust statement? PL wasn’t even sure that the club had to do this so he said he would look into it.
I would have expected the club to have volunteered this information before now . Something stinks in all of this, I know the GB have their faults but the rest of us are being kept in the dark about whats really going on. A bit of honesty would go a long way
67heaven
That’s not strictly true. If the Police provide a section 29 notice the club is absolved of the non disclosure provisions in the Act. What they should be doing, unless the Police ell them it would prejudice the reason for which the data was disclosed, is tell the person that their information has been shared.
If the court on the other hand tells the club to hand it over, then the club has its hands tied.
neganon,
Ignore it, it’s a liar, the same source told us story’s about Celtic supporters snorting coke and rioting at Dundee, full of crap and expects us to swallow the same crap all the pigs are fed.
67heaven – then why didnt PL say that in the celtic statement??
I nearly crashed the car today when I read ” Paul67’s ” endorsement of Tommy.
Just saying like.
Quick word for Tommy in Glasgow Brilliant??? Dont think so made me cringe!!

CRC, he’s been home for a fortnight, he’ll be away next week.
Ernie and st.john Doyle – bow to your superior knowledge on this matter. Don’t know why I am bothering though cos I’d never vote SNP even if they had a tim leader and cabinet full of us.
67Heaven, is that a legal requirement, or a lets keep the Peelers onside policy from clubs.
