  1. Some shares sold today. Makes a total of 1,465,840. Rumour is the buyer is Sales Sharks owner Brian Kennedy. He's the guy who wanted to buy us in 2012. This from Al ‏@SashAndWindass. 20.09.16 15:40 27.5p 366,460 20.09.16 15:40 27.5p 366,460 20.09.16 15:47 27.5p 732,920
  2. I thought that goal from Halliday and McKay was a good footballing goal. McKay certainly raised the tempo in the last third. Good use of the squad by the gaffer.
  3. Who would ever trust a bookie anymore?
  4. God bless you, db. I wouldn't waste a lot of time examining this stuff, none of it is as it seems. The whole place is a cesspit, proven time after time.
  5. If the law created by the government is broken why would the government not send in appropriate personnel to deal with the perpetrators? The government itself has reported that this behaviour - "could have led to public disorder", and indeed was deemed "inappropriate behaviour". In what other field have the government not accepted responsibility and acted and brought the guilty to a court of law, e.g., the stock exchange, BBC sexual deviants' behaviour etc., a guy singing TBB? What gives a company the right to deal with a situation, using their own devices, where a law has been clearly broken? Why are C1888c allowed to keep the country waiting to see how they will deal with a law being broken when every other company is subject to the strictions of the forces of law? Where is order and parity shown by these actions? Over to you fat paper-pusher !!
  6. What difference will it make to the players on the park if they hate us or not? Don't you remember 'Everybody hates us and we don't care' !!
  7. Basically, that woman went through hell and you call it nonsense? Here's a post from FF that will be hard to follow. ... Ralphbrand Ralphbrand is offline Trialist Join Date:10-06-2015Posts:243 Default Celtic and the sound of silence. Sexual abuse, whatever form it takes, is an abhorrent thing. The victims tend to be the most vulnerable; young children, women, disabled people and others, who for whatever reason cannot look after themselves. Those who perpetrate such crimes tend to be intelligent, cunning and extremely manipulative. They also tend to be the people in power within an organization. This morning's revelations about a woman who was sexually abused by her supervisor at Celtic F.C. fits the profile perfectly. By all accounts, the woman who is also a mother and a Celtic supporter, was touched up and subjected to verbal profanities by the head of 'security' over a period of years. There is of course a perverse irony in the fact that the person who is supposed to protect, was in fact the one who was committing the crime. As a man, it is difficult for me to imagine what it must be like for a woman going to work, after taking her children to school. What must have been going through her head as she made her way to Celtic Park? The stress, the shame, the sheer sense of impotence must have made her life a living hell for years. By the look of her, she looks a broken woman, and who can blame her? (There has been precedent, Andy Gray was sacked within twenty four hours after being caught on camera making ONE sexist remark. SKY terminated his and his buddie's lucrative contracts as this was judged as being unacceptable. A key difference is Andy Gray worked in England, whereas Donna Quinn lives in Scotland). Donna Quinn need not feel any sense of guilt, she was the victim. She did the right thing and informed her superiors and waited for action to be taken. No action was taken and this merely emboldened her boss to further abuse her. Those in power at Celtic followed the tried and tested route; go silent, isolate the victim, encourage her molester to seek promotion elsewhere and finally get rid off the victim with hush money. At no point in this process is the actual crime addressed, never mind the welfare of the victim. Let's be clear about one thing, this woman was not an embittered, twisted ex-employee bent on destroying Celtic. The article said that she was a die hard Celtic fan and had made her way 'up' the ranks and was photographed with various stars including Messi. So, she was simply telling the truth, unfortunately telling the truth, never mind seeking justice, are alien to the Celtic way. It's also worth pointing out that Celtic does not pay the minimum wage, which means that all employees there are left to the vagaries of their masters. Much of the Celtic merchandise is produced in distant sweat shops in the far east, where young children are employed in slave like conditions to make shirts for the equivalent of a bowl of rice. Very strange that an organization which espouses helping the underdog and giving to charity cannot even pay the absolute minimum to its employees at Celtic Park. So as well as sexual abuse, we have employees of Celtic also being financially exploited. There are three institutions where sexual abuse has flourished down the years. The BBC, the RC church and Celtic FC. To be fair, belatedly there has been some limited form of recognition and action from the BBC and the RC church, people have been arrested and victims' voices heard. Not at Celtic however. They have literally no shame, no sense of introspection and self criticism. Everything is about protecting the brand, that mythical, mystical romantic nonsense about being the 'people's club', the club of the downtrodden and dispossessed. Peter Lawwell, the Machiavellian Mick, is the spin master of Scotland, the puppeteer par excellence who has more strings than the Berlin Philharmonic. Finally, the truth will out. Last Saturday, the whole world saw Celtic football club at its worse. Banners of hatred, effigies of a sexually perverted nature. Who in God's name even conceived of this stunt?, whoever they are need to seek professional help. Their minds may be twisted, but whoever they are, they know that as sure as night follows day, no action will be taken against them. Unlike Donna Quinn, they will return to Celtic Park as highly valued 'customers' by Peter Lawwell and at Celtic Park it is always just about the money.
  8. Remember, these positions are voluntary. Give it time.
  9. This is great stuff ... m http://rangers.co.uk/news/club/new-armed-forces-partnerships-launched/
  10. What we need is for the MF to be back to a high-energy tempo. First Halliday and then Holt playing at their best as they were, up to and including the SC semi.
  11. We were in the Rangers' end enclosure for that game. We left right away at the final whistle. Our bus took us back to our village on the southside outskirts of Glasgow. Since Colin Stein's goal felt almost like a winner, we were celebrating when my mother walked into the local pub and smacked me on the back of the head. She had seen the reports and was worried. The pub quietened down and remained that way for a couple of weeks. Those poor people, it was horrible. Still is.
  12. This guy was as big a C1888c fan as you could find. I do, however, believe that when he wrote the words to and sang this song, he was genuinely trying to reach out. I know we wore out a few of this recording. For the rest of them ever since, well ...
  13. This is all ours and no 'state-aid' involved. Looking good !!
  14. Put it down to 'over-exuberance'.
  15. On U-tube you have volume control, but have you ever been on the street when they are whacking these things? It's the strangest auditory sensation your senses will ever experience.
  16. In the meantime, he's still our player.
  17. Will the board demand of the SFA that we should have a minute's silence for the sixty-six. Every single bear with a zoom lens should have it trained on the Broomy to capture the images of the numpties who will undoubtably break the silence. No more concessions to the effigy mob.
  18. Regan!! Did he do anything with Motherwell, has he done anything with Hibs in the SCF, should we expect him as a leader to do anything about C1888c's responsibility as a host club? A company will be as successful as the ambitions and direction of its leadership. This man is running our game into the ground. I think we could quite easily describe this waste of skin as a 'Toom Tabard'. He has to be the first to go, to allow us to break free from the cabal!
  19. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/david-weir-to-escape-8834270 Rangers coach David Weir escapes touchline ban after being sent off against Celtic 16:05, 14 Sep 2016 Updated 16:05, 14 Sep 2016 By Record Sport Online THE former Gers skipper was left angry with decisions during the Glasgow derby but SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan has let the Ibrox coach off with a warning. ...
  20. LOL, predicted that !!! Off to buy a lottery ticket now.
  21. Worst ever defeat in European club competition, according to Rae.
  22. Humiliation complete !!!
  23. Ian, Is this schadenfreude at the thumping of the bold, brave, brilliant Brenda's team getting too much for you? p.s. I'll take back my previous anti-football remark, this is just a training game for Barca.
  24. What a beauty.
