I may have told you this before, apologies if I’m repeating myself. Around 20 years ago, in a TV studio minutes after a Rangers victory, a former captain, Terry Butcher (what ever happened to him?), told the audience, “David Murray will not stop until he’s won two European Cups and 10 in a row.”
Use of the personal term “he”, not the club name, struck me. Murray was personally invested in this matter. Such a burning desire did not make David Murray a bad person, he owned the dominant club in Glasgow, but the team he was dominating had all that glorious history. If the boot was on the other foot, you’d want the same. I would.
Perhaps if Jock Stein had stayed at Hibs, Celtic would have stayed in mediocrity, David Murray would have had a more affordable dream and the liquidation of his club would not have been necessary.
You know it’s true…….
On Tuesday’s STV report that Hearts manager, John McGlynn, said:
“How many fans would think they could win the league if Celtic weren’t in it at this stage? All [clubs’] fans would.
“That would cause great excitement and I think it would bring fans back to the game, at the lower clubs.
“If you look at the rest of us outside Rangers and Celtic, we’d all fill our stadiums if we thought we’d realistically have a chance of winning the league.”
There are screeds written and spoken about our game but the McGlynn Plan is the most productive comment I’ve read all year. Well done to STV for the report, hopefully they will put the same questions to others in the league. This is the most important question for Scottish football right now.
It’s time for these clubs to throw off their downtrodden ways and genuinely compete for the Scottish title.
Still looking for a ticket for Celtic v Barcelona? Equally keen to acquire a Wee Oscar wristband? A CQN’er has very generously offered his ticket for next week to raise funds for the Wee Oscar Campaign. You can bid for the ticket/wristband package on ebay.
Tell everyone who asks you for a ticket to bid on the auction.

That doesn’t worry me. I always liked Bill Hicks – he’ll be good company for me when my tragic erse ends up down there with him. But have to say, there’s only so much of the drugs, sex, rock n roll anyone can take. Not long before the need for peace & quiet kicks in, hence the Knockin on Heaven’s Door anthem.
Just reading on a Newcastle blog about Big Fraser. One guy (Celtic supporter I think) is saying we paid £2m for each of the loan seasons he spent with us, then a further £2m to complete his signing, making £6m in total? Is he right?
Tried posting there a couple of times and it didn`t work, is there a filter
for sh*te posts. Ah well , as i`ve been told many times before Im not in the
mood anymore.

I was in celtic shop today asking about availability of tickets from Barca returns or any kind.
Nothing doing she said, I should have went in to ticket office whom I phoned and had to hang up after being on hold for 40mins to attend to my grandson :((

Apparently they were returns and all gone, website was mayhem.

If it happens try re-wording your post the 2nd time – the filter picks up on certain words it thinks might be suspect or spam and holds the post for approval.

noted, wasn’t aware that the post was a collection
all i would say is that rangers being dead is a good enough answer for me for the questions raised such that I have my doubts there’s a better answer on the table

Yip. Seems to me that Hitzfeld taught Paul about the shape of the game from the middle of the park, and his own football skill and brains did the rest.

Language was fine, and no disrespect to anyone as far as i could tell.
10 in a row
2 Europe Cups
And a fat pig in a broon poke…
Awe Naw.
Probarbly been asked already or mentioned.
Could there have been some form of collusion between murray and his handshaking freinds within the echelons of BOS when we were on our knees before the bunnet came to our rescue.hh
thetimrieper
What I mean is it can pick up on any innocent word (maybe repeated?) – it can be pernickety.
Probably–even

I was in the company of a Birmingham supporter, die hard type, at the start of the Aston Villa v Norwich game. When Paul Lambert came on he pointed out to me he was a European Cup winner and raved about spotting him in that run, Old Trafford etc and marking Zidane out the final. Thats no bad going for a fella that was only watching in hope of seeing Paul Lambert’s team get beat.

Didn`t know that, thanks.
Has Fat Sally been sacked yet?
Aw Naw
Apologies if you’ve covered this already but has Fraser Wishart ever commented on the use of EBTs and if so did he approve of them or not and if he hasn’t commented on their use why not?
Found this on twitter – can you imagine a Sevco supporter quoting PB Shelley to explain their demise?

I wonder if he might get “moved upstairs” on the same day the tribunal result is announced – they like a bit of diverse (or diversion) news that lot.
The Battered Bunnet
I wonder how many other scottish players would have moved on to a higher level if they had good continental coaching? Roy Aitken for instance.
anyone else see ‘The Saturdays’ halloween costumes??
speechless
B-)
EDB
included.
sipsini
I think that is more or less covered within the gree hornet section.
Have another look and if you think of something more specific that I am missing then please let me know

Yup.
My target is the SFA and a level playing field
Anyone who does not focus on that can hardly call themselves a tim as far as I am concerned.
Takes all sorts I suppose

Dunno about any collusion but had the bank not got stroppy the old board might have hung on and on and on…..
Aw naw…..
In February 2012 the old now defunct Rangers Football Club had an investigation initiated
Into their fans sectarian singing at Ibrox during a Kilmarnock SPL game. It was either SPL or SFA led. Taking an awful long time to reach a judgement.

Well done with the appeals,Birthday Bhoy.
More than one reason to celebrate should always be taken advantage of!
I should not try to post without my glasses on while laughing at SSB and cooking at the same time as I’m also drinking a cup of tea.
Chewing gum and walking at the same time is my limit…
…which is a sight more than the average hun…so I don’t feel so bad.

Normally, that would mean he’s on borrowed time, but Green needs him at least till after the share issue.
I hope he’s managing them for the rest of their corporate life – another five or six months should do it.
dunno if this has been posted
lol
