125 kit and an SPL comparison

1030

A Hibs fan suggested to me on Twitter that as his team are wearing their home kit for next week’s Scottish Cup Final Celtic should take the opportunity to wear their 125th anniversary top. Despite there being 100 years precedent of Celtic and Hibs both wearing their home kits, recent rules (or perhaps customs) dictate that clubs are not permitted colour clashes.

That being the case, let’s take the opportunity to reach back to our founders and wear the anniversary kit.

Before that we have the small matter of Dundee United to play on Sunday. Celtic won the league by 20 points last season, 10 of which were gained after a competitor failed to come up with enough money to meet their commitments. Defeat at Tannadice could reduce this season’s winning margin to 10 points, in a season where everyone, even Hearts could afford to meet their commitments.

Who would’ve thought this SPL would be so competitive? Not me. More please.

Thanks for the excellent support for Willie Wallace’ autobiography. Orders in today from East Brisbane to West Didsbury and many places in between.

  1. 1. Why would any player consider signing for a club that might not give you any wages.

     

     

    2. Why are SFA allowing them to sign players when there is so much uncertainity over the club

  2. Celtic will play Brentford in a friendly at Griffin Park on Saturday, July 20, with the kick-off time still to be confirmed.

  3. I know I ain’t the first to say so,but I seriously doubt the authenticity of the letter,dont know why,just a feeling

     

    O g Rafferty,were you aware of this letter or do you know of other bad news for the ibrokes mob

  4. Mort,

     

     

    League Cup rules state that “Players taking part in the Competition must be registered in terms of Scottish Football League Rules or Scottish Premier League Rules as appropriate.”

     

     

    I would have thought that a trialist is not a registered player. But then we know that rules and definitions are slippery …

     

     

    For the prestigious Ramsdens Cup, the rules state that a trialist can only play in the first round.

    We don’t need a f—ing plumber

    No we certainly don’t — we saw enough of plumbers last season. More often than not they were running circles around our full-time professionals.

     

     

    I say we give that last Bear a medal

    I’ve seen a few comments suggesting the Letter Before Claim document seems inauthentic based on language, structure, syntax et cetera.

     

     

    Going on these elements alone, I think it does seem authentic.

     

     

    What examples of language and so on would people point to as indicating it may be a fake? I’d be very interested to know.

    There’s a lot of stuff yet to come out.

     

    I don’t think any of it could be thought of as Blue Skies over Ibrox

    All very interesting.

     

     

    Still can’t work out if minty is involved.

     

     

    As a betting man I would put the odds @ 1/2

    Wright banned for 2 games

     

     

     

     

    Gosh.

     

     

    Vincent Lunny: “Frazer, I’ like to offer you a two-game ban for elbowing Mikael Lustig in the dish on Saturday. If you accept, the ban will kick in and no further action will be taken.”

     

     

    Frazer Wright: “Ram your ban, Timmy. I never done nothin.”

     

     

    Vincent Lunny: “You leave me with no option but to examine the incident in very close detail and consider even more punitive action against you for your lack of co-operation and remorse … And after this close examination of the facts, and taking your intransigence into account, the decision is a two-match ban.”

    Craig Whyte doesn’t want to go to court, he wants to get paid off.

     

     

    Have Charles and Imran handed that blackmail dossier over to the police yet?

     

     

    ——————–

     

    I agree craigy boy wants his money into some safe bank account but no one can afford to pay him off, well if King controlled things he could but he needs to know what he would get for his money, and all the other players want their piece of the pie also so will not part with anything.

     

    Then we have the new twins on the block HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    I used to think the establishment ,media, sfa and ludge would eventually just say nothing to see here just move on.

     

     

    Now Im not so sure, they may eventually swim out the sewer called something or other but IMHO some heads who thoght at the start of this they were bullet proff will fall and be exposed thanks to the efforts of many bampots,

     

     

    OHHHHHHHHHHH how they and the MSM must hark for bygone days when this would have been done dusted and rubber stamped in days will us left standing being accused of being paranoid.

    This would have been over a year ago with themselves dead and buried, if Campbell wasn’t in position. We must also be aware they will try and replace him with a like minded brother if he does go!

    just think, if they’d said sorry. paid their dues and started off from the bottom playing by the rules like everyone else then this would probably all be over for them by now.

    Don’t get me wrong mate, I would have loved the ‘nuclear option’ but seeing them bled by daily disasters and the corpse being molested by a succession of grave robbers gives me much pleasure.

     

     

    What REALLY stinks to the high heaven though, is the complicit MEDIA. Having said that, nothing has changed in that respect in my lifetime.

     

     

    How can Ogilie remain in post?

     

     

    How can LNS get away with stating that massive corruption and theft gave “no sporting advantage”?

     

     

    When exactly is the SPL’s statement on LNS’s findings due anyway?

    It was the SFA not LNS!

     

     

    LNS found them guilty then asked the SFA for direction on sentencing, Campbell supplied Sandy Bryson!
