articles, columns, fans Q&A & our usual sprinkling of, okay large doses
then, of irreverent humour.
Eddy
Tor
kicks it off with a 4 page editorial on players’ attitude & mentality in
SPL games. Deals & reductions Celtic have to offer fans next season. The
reality we face regarding players who’ve made it pretty clear they see this
season as they’re last at Celtic. Other players who should move on & Neil
Lennon’s frustration at under-par performances! Plus it would be very wrong for
the Celtic board to take Lennon for granted regarding his own contract at
Celtic as well as offering a reasonable budget to work with to improve his
squad.
Liam
Alane has written an excellent 4 page piece with extensive
pictures on what went on in the Gallowgate via an eye witness on Saturday March
16th and how the attitude of the police was well over-the-top in
comparison to another ‘not asked for
permission march’ in Glasgow on the same day.
Bryan
McManus offers a well written 2 page article as to why as
Celtic move successfully forward, the various elements in the press, media
& radio phone-in broadcasts continue to peddle negativity.
News
n Views stories are various covering (1) Terry Butcher’s
window smashing act & how Lennon would have been treated in comparison. (2)
Whether or not SKY TV really need the SPL at all. (3) The truth is at last
outed in Celtic offering Owen Coyle the Celtic job, which they told us was NOT
the case, prior to Mowbray’s appointment. (4) Why Neil Lennon is having to do
the Club’s PR job for them instead of the PR man. (5) And why our youth team
with Champions League matches on the horizon each year offers us no time to
enter a Colts league. Eh that last
bit was sarcasm.....
Columnist Colm
Currie offers his thoughts on Celtic’s ever changing form with an excellent
2 page article.
Phil
Mac Giolla Bhain looks forward with an insightful 3 page
article and where the squad have to be for Celtic’s next big date. Which is this
coming July when we kick-off in the first of hopefully 3 tie qualifying ties
towards the Champions League group stages.
Marcas
O’Greachian our resident Dublin wordsmith offers a hard-hitting
2 page article looking at Davie Provan’s view & attitude to him having
Rangers back in the SPL at any cost & why Provan isn’t interested in ‘sporting integrity’ regarding them.
Stevie
Meighan was our man in Turin and over 3 pages he explains his
humorous journey, missing his plane then getting a cheap job at Prestwick
Airport, mixing with the Turin locals, and why on his European travels entering
the Juve stadium really was an accident waiting to happen for Celts fans.
Following on from the excellent ‘Paddy Ashes’ in our previous issues Tirnaog once again offers an excellent 4 page piece titled ‘The Celtic Spirit’. You’ll easily find
yourself and your family in there.
Our fans Question & Answer section ‘Shooting from the Lip’ this month features
Celts fan and tireless worker for the WeeOscar4life campaign Andy Fisher. Like his good work in the
campaign he doesn’t let down here either in a interesting straightforward look
at all things concerning Celts fans.
Plus we have a nice wee advert from a pub in
Benidorm where if Celts score in the first 6 minutes you are guaranteed a free
bottle of beer. Free half-time pies also on the menu.
