    I was talking about the initial post about my details being posted on a Celtic forum.

    Ok, but that's not what I quoted in my original reply, I was commenting on your list of incidents being used for point scoring. Listing off incidents is pathetic, surely we are past that now at this stage? Just don't want this thread to go down the bombs and bullets path for the next 50 pages.

    And Edu's car, and Novo's house, and McGregor's cars (not mentioning attacking him), and...

    Don't pretend it's an isolated thing.

    Not to mention that I said it in jest (see that little smiley face ?), but that seems to have gone right over your head.

    do i have to go looking for my posts way back that condemned incidents such as destroying toilets in ibrox/parkhead by rangers/celtic fans.

    just to clear it up i basically said that its moronic and happens by so called fans of both teams (and many other fans). I never said it was isolated. Take your blinkers off mate. Just because you feel happy throwing out cheap digs all the time doesn't always make you right. some people on this forum act like spoilt children.

    If I recall correctly you had a bank debt of about 7m (down from 9m), and the profits dropped drastically from 7m to 180k.

    I never said you have a big debt, I'm sure it's manageable but that's where the CL money comes in.

    I haven't seen any figures yet but I also heard season ticket sales are down, and not by a bit ?

    And profits will be up this season before even UCL football is considered. The debt have yoyo'd in recent years as cashflow dictates because the club isnt actually interested in operating debt free, keeping it manageable is the long term strategy as said by Desmond & Quinn years ago.

    Glenn Loovens, Cha Du Ri, Daniel Majstorovic, Niall McGinn, Efrain Juarez, Morten Rasmussen, Mark Wilson, Darren O'Dea, Richie Towell & Dominic Cervi all finally gone. Ki is being sold for over £6.5m.

    Our strategy of selling a developed player every few seasons is a sustainable one, even without UCL football. This 'desperation' people talk about is from the ambition of the management and the players. They all want to prove themselves at a higher level than the SPL and several of them could ply their trade in a bigger league as it is.

    The club wants it so that players development and ambition can be met, more money, hand improved contracts to our top stars & more exposure to attract better players again. Lawwell hasnt even budgeted for UCL football yet so this illusion that we are desperate for UCL football to service debts or debt could get out of control without UCL football is a myth peddled by the misinformed looking to score cheap points.

    I'm not the one who started the naming of incidents though.

    As for the spoilt children, no argument there :P

    i think you'll find you listed off several things but your "he started it" approach reinforces my point

    So...ummm, are you saying maybe that....He started it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,627 ✭✭✭Lawrence1895


    Sorry, but I'm getting a bit bored, reading all that stuff over and over again.

    Maybe we can start a poll 'Who started it'?

    No I really didn't say that, and i purposely didnt allude to it. i stated that he created a list of incidents which you can find a couple of pages back. if we must find the one to have "started it" it was me. I posted about bedoyas car

    They most certainly do.

    Some people really just need to chill out, it's only a bit of banter between Celtic and Sevco fans.

    Jelle,

    Where are you getting the idea that Celtic are in a lot of debt???!!!

    How much debt do you reckon we're in?!

    If I recall correctly you had a bank debt of about 7m (down from 9m), and the profits dropped drastically from 7m to 180k.

    I never said you have a big debt, I'm sure it's manageable but that's where the CL money comes in.

    I haven't seen any figures yet but I also heard season ticket sales are down, and not by a bit ?

    So basically you admit that we have NO financial difficulties?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,623 ✭✭✭lubo_moravcik


    So come on, who's up for a day trip to Celtic Park on Wednesday?? Bus leaves Dublin City Centre at 8am for Belfast Ferry Terminal and a sailing to Cairnryan. Up to CP and back to Cairnryan for a 12:30am ferry back to Belfast. Should be back in Dublin for 5am on Thurs.

    Who's game????

    Precisely, they're only a new club so there should be no bad feelings at all between us and Sevco.

    Road trip is much better now mate with motorways, 90 mins to 2 hours to Belfast, about 2 hours from Cairnryan to CP. Best €95 you'll ever spend :D

    would it be bad form to skip an exam for it?

    For anyone looking to crunch numbers.

    i think celtic need to sort out the current outstanding contracts, i.e. hooper, wanyama & stokes plus add a cb & striker. maybe renew our interest in henriksen if the price is right.

    Interesting, much more than I thought tbh. I thought that we got around £9m to £10m in total between participation money and TV money for being in the group stages of the CL the two times during Strachan's reign. £17m/€20m is just fantastic.

    I do think that realistically that some more money should be put into the Europa League to help clubs playing in that competition, even at the expense of the CL - but I suppose it's all market driven i.e. more people watching CL, better advertising revenue etc.. Hopefully, all going well next week, it won't matter to us all what the money in the Europa League is anyway. ;)

    I'd rather be in Div 3 tbh. At least we'd have no debt. :mad: :pac:
