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.

Morning all from a wild, wet and windy (oh, and very cold) North Ayrshire.
Any laugh at them moments due today?
The Producers.
That whole third act has got to go. They’re losing the tax case. It’s depressing.

“Do you have to be a tax evader to get a job with the Zombies?”
It helps the ould CV, certainly.
It is also advisable to have had an EBT if seeking employment as a football pundit with BBC Shortbread.
Are you looking for a change of career?
After reading only a couple of contributions, it looks like my question was rather superfluous. What has happened?
TBB- thanks for heartwarmin ‘ wee hedgehog story.
Gets the day off on the right foot.
I expect full-on manatee retaliation is , sadly but inevitably,only a matter of time.
Hedgehogs have gone to DefCon6.
.
SFTB- lookin’ for new career as ole Dick Byrne’s personal shopper.
31003- Great point!
(and how many people tried to flick that wee speck off their screen?)

………..
I booked 2 tickets for the zombie end last night, £63 for the 2 including booking fees and postage. Outstanding pricing
May all the scammers rot and toil in hell. May the cheated titles fall and may we live to tell. May all the world forget they ever played. And David Murray regret he never paid.
Been offline for a wee while, Paul an absolute classic, Carol Ann Duffy would have been proud of this little ditty. I’ll print it, frame it and recite it, thanks.

Loved this quote from Sevcomedia-
“Not many refs have a record of Refereeing 2 Rangers games with two costly defeats .Take your point about bad refs in other games but ive not seen anything as bad as last night this season”
No, not many refs get a 2nd bite at the cherry after a bad Rangers result.

Well done to Ticketmaster only half an hour for Stone Roses tickets.

The Stone Roses?
Bon Jovi?
Gggrrrr.
steinreignedsupreme- I still have time for a read at the jakey’s daily offerings, one of life’s guilty pleasures.
The beautiful game is just a game.

If only the huns listened to the Celtic Song and interpreted it correctly. I wonder if the rest of Scotland will realise before it is too late.

Get the footballers into every team in Scotland and watch us rise all the way through the rankings. I heard some utter nonsense on Clyde last night about cluggers being part of the game in Scotland. Cluggers are removed when the rules are enforced, it isn’t rocket science.

FFS, I forgot it was 09:30 they went on sale, I don’t think there is even any point me trying now to get them.
Well the memories are still with me from their first gig at GG. What a night for me and Tod.

There are days when he is unintentionally hilarious – but his unpleasantness is unbearable and makes his tales unreadable at times.
Publishing personal details about people is pretty desperate stuff. It says more about him that he will ever know.
‘Than he will ever know’ – even.

Belated Happy Birthday!
steinreignedsupreme- He is indeed a despicable bit of work but I would strongly suspect his junk is being closely monitored daily by the likes of Spiers and McNally’s employer and will in time be subject to contact from m’learned friends- here, soon!
