Celtic Diary Thursday May 2: New Balance Slip Off Track

In yesterdays diary, a throwaway comment about New Balance, the firm who have the simple remit of producing green and white hooped shirts every season, has come back to haunt me..

The annual new kit launch is today. My guess is it’ll be green and white hoops again, showing a distinct lack of imagination at New Balance. 

Incredibly, they have decided to bring out a white shirt with some green lines on it.

When the PLC speak about Celtic being a world recognised brand, the one thing that sets us apart from every other “brand ” in the football industry are the green and white hooped shirts.

One thing that makes us instantly recognisable is the shirt.

New Balance somehow have been allowed to ignore that, and its hard to decide who is at fault.

 

Even Nike, with their revolutionary home kit

that turned into the away kit

Image result for nike celtic tops

after just a few washes at least caused a ripple of amusement aongst the support, once they’d realised that the two for one deal wasn’t so bad.

In a week where two Celtic legends passed away, its perhaps even more offensive to expect supporters to condone the removal of the one thing that is associated with Celtic.

 

Or perhaps its part of a long term plan from the PLC to continue to strip away everything that we once were…

 

Anyway, Baz on twitter made a case for New Balance to get in touch with him before they bring out the away tops, which will presumably have a sash or a poppy on them, when he showed us that just a slight tweak to the design would have been perfectly acceptable.

Ah well, soon be time for the transfer window to open.

 

Timothy Castagne has been linked with Celtic again. The defender was touted for a move last January, but as we told you at the time, nothing would happen until the summer, and even then it wasn’t certain.

Money will be available for Lennon to make such additions to the squad as he sees fit, although the amount has yet to be decided.

What we do know is that if Lennon doesn’t take the job, then Lawwell has decided to pretend that he’s forgotten the PIN for the debit card.

By the way, its not a PIN number, that would be tautology. It’s a PIN. Personal identification number. You can mention that to your friends and that would make you just as much fun to be with as it is to be with me.

On the other side of the city, plans are underway to stop Celtic becoming the first Scottish side to do nine in a row twice.

Jake Hastie will “undoubtedly” improve Rangers, said manager Steven Gerrard after the club confirmed the summer signing of the Motherwell winger.

The 20-year-old, who has made just 17 first-team appearances for Motherwell, has agreed a four-year contract.

Hastie broke into the first-team at Fir Park after returning in January from his loan spell with Alloa Athletic.

“He is a talented young player who has performed well in the second half of this season,” Gerrard said.

“We are always looking to add individuals to our group of players who will improve us and Jake will undoubtedly do that.” 

Er, this Jake Hastie ?

We believe that the chief scout at ibrox has been called in for a chat..

rangers scout video

 

Should Celtic win the league at Pittodrie, one wonders if they will receive a guard of honour from the home players when they visit ibrox the following week…after all, it would be the dignified thing to do..

 

Meanwhile, the funeral of Billy McNeill takes place tomorrow, and thousands are expected to line the streets to bid a fond farewell and say thank you to the man who showed us not only how to lead a football team but how to lead a life.

 

A number of road closures have been announced for the funeral of Celtic legend Billy McNeill.

The service of the leader of Jock Stein’s Lisbon Lions will take place at St Aloysius Church in Garnethill at 11.30am.

Fans will line the streets to pay their respects to the former captain and manager as his cortege passes Celtic Park at around 1.30pm on Friday.

The council said: “Due to the expectation of large crowds paying their respect, the following roads will be restricted for the safety of those attending the funeral of Billy McNeill.”

Road closures – between 10am and 2pm

Hill Street, between Cambridge Street and Scott Street

Dalhousie Street, between Renfrew Street and Buccleuch Street

Renfrew Street, between Dalhousie Street and Rose Street

Rose Street, between Renfrew Street and Buccleuch Street

Hail Hail Cesar.

Ancient Celts extracted Green from Royalty,
Billy McNeil showed Celtic unparalleled loyalty,
Not for him the colour red,
if you cut him, Green would be the colour bled.

Hail Hail Cesar, in life you showed no fears,
As we salute you through our unbridled tears,
Our hearts are broken, but they shall mend,
As we prepare to say goodbye to our cherished friend.

Caption “We WILL be in power by the time The Rain Jerseys get to 55”

I wonder if the broken hoops is in preparation for sleeve advertising, which is all the rage in the EPL.

If that Hastie quote is accurate then he wrote it when he was 11 or 12; is that likely?

“Money will be available for Lennon to make such additions to the squad as he sees fit”, seriously you need to either get off or back on the meds. Lennon is the cheap option and, if he’s appointed, then the comings and goings will be dictated by Lawwell. FFS Lennon can’t even appoint his own number 2!

BB you’ve hit on a real concern of mine. Wee can’t win without scoring, regardless of how good (and lucky) our defence it.
It would be a real disaster if we lost to Aberdeen and then Sevco, with ‘honest mistakes’ on the cards. It could happen.
We need somehow to beat a press and STOP mis-firing. Your UNLESS is big but possible.
All of us just want to get number 8 in the bag and then move on and improve. We didn’t need to be in this situation.
One of our Board, Brian Wilson is not a Tory. He made a good living out of old Labour but he doesn’t exactly defend our cause.

BB you have a point regarding the Board, a shower of chancers that have scunnered more than a few managers. A spineless group of humanity that know their place, have done everything to build a stadium with fairy lights, but mismanaged the football, ignore the supporters and bring out the worst strip in a long time.

We will still win eight in a row, as too lose three games would require some cheating, Sevco are overrated neede two pens to beat Aberdeen.

We all enjoying the positive aspects of football, but we push to one side the bad parts, like injuries. These injuries can be wide ranging and painful and players sometimes have to play and endure pain. Its hard to think of a player who doesn’t pick up an injury or two, throughout their career. Some players take injections so that they can continue playing until a break gives them the time to get it sorted. You read of players being injected weekly to allow the pain to be diminished, allowing them the freedom to play. When football careers are over their injuries continue and they have to still suffer the pain. How many older players have we seen hirpling because of past injuries, their private medical insurance has been stopped, so they are on their own, to suffer or to get it sorted. Dementia is one such injury that is finally being looked into now and its effect caused by heading a ball. But there are many other types of long lasting crippling injuries, that are casually brushed aside when we think of past hero’s. They are left with the pain. So good luck to young K.T. who will be out of action in the summer, will we think of him during the football break, I think we will… lets hope he makes a speedy recovery…

Ralph; re your theory on the PLC and their “long term plan” to “strip away everything that we once were”: I think you’re onto something there and I don’t think this is anything new. Something that’s bugged me for a few years and seemed to have evolved with out anybody really noticing. When exactly did the shamrock become a four leaf clover? It seemed to start as a subtle change in badge and emblem design and before we know it we’re singing about “a four leaf clover on my breast”. Is this a form of dilution of culture to facilitate conformity? To make Celtic more palatable to who exactly?

No they are not in Dave Kings pocket.

You are alleging a massive fraud and you should be careful what you allege unless you have facts. Of course you don’t because you don’t understand a P&L statement or a balance sheet.

You think of your family and your friends who have passed, that wee corner of your heart that has gone missing, leaving a painful void.

“talking about Celtic and football”, nah, it’ll never catch on! 😉

Not wanting to nitpick but I doubt if your uncle ever saw Patsy Gallacher play, as he stopped playing for us in 1925.

It does raise an issue I have with all the well meaning suggestions to build a statue/name a stand for Big Billy and the other Lions.

We had 80 years of glorious history, most of which is out of reach of personal memory and also little captured on film.

The vast majority of current fans, never mind future ones, will be unaware of the heroes of yore and personally I’d like to see more of them memorialised, as the Lions will always be immortal.

Maley, Kelly, McMahon, Doyle, Quinn, Gallacher, McGrory etc should be recognised before they slip from our collective memory.

I do remember Dalglish getting plenty of stick from time to time (after the 74 WC, if I remember correctly, and other times).

Now, can we please get back to the mutual abuse and self-loathing? 🙂
