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.

It was a bit tongue in ckeek :>)
The sfa/spl have never had any intention of doing anything about the sectarian singing.
The huns could and have sung their bile to their hearts content they even get praise from government ministers for it.
Our club are in front of the beaks for a photoshopped picture, yet they can display whatever they want.
It’s scotland ffs, what do you expect :>)

It’s an avalanche of Himalayan proportions only in slow motion. It’ll take years but it’ll all look very different afterwards.

Happy Birthday to Blantyre Tim. You’ve come a long way from your days in the RAT Room.

Not necessarily continental coaching – just good coaching. Roy Aitken should have achieved much more than he did. After the ‘ten men won the league’ game in 1979 Pat Crerand said big Roy reminded him of the young Duncan Edwards. But Roy didn’t develop. He was usually pretty good but he never became the ‘great’ he might have been.

Found this on twitter – can you imagine a Sevco supporter quoting PB Shelley to explain their demise?

You got a reply from them? I’m amazed. Did you send a letter or phone them? (I sent emails.)
Awe_Naw…,
Was Alex S involved in the meeting between sfa\spl and uefa

Please don’t assume I’m intelligent enough to understand your summary …….LOL…!!!!
Re Priests playing football. Anyone in Uist in the 80’s will remember Father Colin playing for Northend. A skillfull player, but not one to whom the dark arts were not known. It was particularly funny when Northend used to play the Army as they would be feart of hurting the Padre. This was not reciprocated. Fr Colin went on to give up most of his life to help the poor people of Ecuador. A very, very admirable man., but a dirty bastard on a football pitch!
Mark Guidi on Snyde says fat Sally gets an easy time with MSM because he has a lot of friends within that fraternity……… You don’t say!
Hey ghuys, lay off BT!
I’ve met him and he’s a year younger than me so he 31.
a propos of nothing…………I’d still pay a lot of money to see LeCoist, Schnozzle and the ‘dark haired’ KitGhost in a right guid touchline bust-up with each other…….knockdown drag out stuff……

My Mum and Dad confirmed the mark of where BT stood when he was just ten, 3ft 5” at the newly planted oak tree is still marked at the bottom of the same 40ft Oak tree in the garden of the house his family used to stay in back then.

Re sacking Ally – I think maybe they realise that the job at the moment would be seen as a poisoned chalice by any decent candidates. In fact I think even Walter Smith would think twice about becoming the ‘mentor’ because of the damage it might do his reputation.

I agree.But keep an eye on Kilmarnocks Kenny Shields
…a tie up with the Dallas Cowboys……?????
……the boul’ Hughie probably thought that was the huns pet name for Shugs band o’ brithers……………
