Appetites wetted, consequence of intimidation

608

For some, short holidays are over. Batteries recharged, appetites wetted. The international break is not the period of worldwide travel and mockery it is for others. If you think you are champing at the bit to get to Celtic Park on Saturday, Scott Brown and Kolo Toure could probably sprint there from Lennoxtown right now.

For others it will be a chance to put disappointments behind them. A few (well, maybe just Moussa) will return having achieved new heights for their country. As ever, Tom Rogic will pitch with jetlag having played in two continents in the last six days.

You know they will all want to see and impress Brendan. This is the way of it at Lennoxtown right now. They are bursting a gut at training to get into the team. Be alarmed, Motherwell.

You know when your PR is on nationwide TV, intemperate and pointy, that you are in special hands. Asking the same question four different ways lacks courtesy (and a whole lot more), but PR can’t let the journo leave knowing he’s got what he wanted from the encounter. I’m no PR expert, but you know when you see someone mis-control a proverbial back pass.

Still angry at that newspaper’s attack on Celtic yesterday. I didn’t buy it, so didn’t realise at the time they printed Peter Lawwell’s home address. You know what you are doing when you publish someone’s home address.  It rarely happens because the consequences are so uncontrollable.

It’s one of the most insidious acts legally possible by a newspaper. It has an immediate consequence of intimidation for the family – that’s a given when you make the decision to print something several hundred thousand times.  Utterly deplorable.  We are back in the era where attacks were incited on Neil Lennon.

Apologies for issues accessing the blog recently.  I’m on the case.

  1. Had a quick peek at the league table before choosing my LMS pick for the weekend.

     

    St Johnstone for anyone who is still dithering.

     

    It occurred to me that the team currently playing out of Ibrox with dodgy roofs could be slipping out of the top 6, should results go the right way. For us of course.

  2. Or maybe it is just the Very End………………………………..

     

     

    of the Big Hoooooose.

     

     

    The only way they can do anything is, if they sell that Big Hoose, it is the proverbial millstone round their necks. :D

  3. PETEC

     

     

    Would they accept being homeless? Would the rectum publish all our addresses?

     

     

    I think we would be attacked from all sides man to man if they were.

    So farewell then King of Thailand

     

    Who stood by strict lese-majeste laws to protect the most senior members of Thailand’s royal family from insult or threat.

     

    Thousands died.

     

    Thats what a monarchies all about even though you murdered your brother as a teenager.

     

    You lived a noble life except that you didnt and your psychopathic son now takes over. RIP.

    Word of the day

     

    Sturgeon: Living fossil. Most Sturgeons are anadromous bottom-feeders.

     

    They are particularly vulnerable to over exploitation and other threats, including pollution and habitat fragmentation.

     

    Just saying like.

    What’s a cock?

     

     

    Ha ha, Mags and Clunks arguing over what a cock is, is celtic supporters at their lowest.

     

     

    Mccoist is a cock

     

    smith (both) are cocks

     

    Murray is a cock

     

    the hat is a cock

     

    the kilwinning bombers are cocks

     

    Dallas and his boy are cocks

     

     

    The list is endless, Celtic men are not on the list.

    Petec, Celtic are due, in December which will run into March, to run into win ugly phase,

     

     

    The pitches are super heavy, our limbs are super tired and strained beyond recognition due to the huge amount of games it takes us to get into europe and then be in the group stages.

     

     

    Injuries and fatigue will make us win ugly for the rest of the winter.

     

     

    ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

     

     

    Do we have a winter break planned?

     

     

    That would be good.

     

     

    I know the away pitches will become a bit of a slog (understatement) but I think we are going to be so far ahead of everyone else. The players are all desperate to play and work as hard as possible – Brendan has shown constantly from the start, if you are not doing it – you are off. There is no favouritism whatsoever.

     

     

    I think everyone can’t wait to get to Celtic Park for Every game now. The work off the ball is every bit as good as the play on it. Scottish teams (except Celtic) are pish in Europe, now Celtic are Really on the Road again, the Scottish teams have little chance in any game now. IMO. I’m expecting every home game to be a +3 goal win at least, and it will take some team to beat us away in Scotland.

    those in your list are much worse than cocks mate!

     

     

    much, much worse.

     

     

    or worser

  9. Petec, we do have a winter break, I belive its 4 weeks after the huns games at ipox? is it 4 weeks????

     

     

    Hope it helps us, cos at this time of year we have played double the amount of games (not including internationals) than our competitors.

     

     

    BUT we are more than compensated for doing so.

     

     

    the sooner we are out of this league the better. Being a shark in a pond of minnows helps no one.

     

     

    Especially not us

    They are empty vessels.

     

     

    To keep the Celts down you will have to deport,

     

    The whole Fenian army that gives them support.

  11. Or cause websites to shut down after their families are threatened.

     

     

    The vessels are far from empty.

     

     

    To put it another way the vessels need emptied, root and branch.

    I know. Apologies.

    After we had put our differences aside, publicly, after a few altercations it humbles me to see us called celtic supporters at their lowest.

  14. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on

    The disclosure of P.L.`s address.

     

     

    Disgraceful. Why ?

     

    Because it puts his personal safety and that of his family under threat.

     

     

    And that`s precisely why Celtic F.C. should not be making regular and PUBLIC statements about the state or activities of the hun .

     

     

    Because the hun is dangerous.

  15. Macjay

     

     

    Should we, as a club, out the address of the offending reporter in the Celtic View? Should we retaliate in kind???

     

     

    Or do w have a Level67 to combat it???

     

     

    Or am I at risk of a dawn raid for suggesting it??

  16. I’m with Doug Stanhope,if we have to have kings and queens then we should have the whole show;fairy godmothers,wizards,dragons,and any other superfluous pish foisted upon humanity to maintain wealth for the few and poverty for the many.It’s 2016 by kcuf.

    and Maggie

     

     

    Never stoop to the depths of the hun.

     

    So ,no.

     

    No disclosure of address of anybody.

     

    The options open to Celtic are many , but I would continue to hold the moral high ground.

     

    It`s going pretty well for us so far.

     

    I wish Tims would get off the back of the Board in demanding ” statements ” about every hun indiscretion known to man.

     

    Let them continue to thrash about in the mire.

    I wish the Tims in charge would get of their asses and defend us before its too late,

     

     

    I wish we would fight back just enough to know that the sly digs won’t go unchallenged.

     

     

    I wish the Tims in charge would act like men instead of bean counters,

    I think if the de facto hun rag in Scotland maliciously suggests that you were complicit in a tax evasion scheme and you were not then you should sue to put them out of business. Simples.

  22. I also think if they put the addresses of the top people at Celtic in the public domain for no other reason that they can thennthey should be hung out to dry

    I completely understand how you feel.

     

    Outrage.

     

    What tactics should be employed ?

     

    It would seem that the hun is continuing to self destruct .

     

    Let them carry on in spite of the feeling that we need to ” do something.”

     

    Don`t interrupt your enemy.

     

     

    Then again , I have confidence in the Board . Some don`t.

  24. PETEC…

     

    Sorry bhud,i’m not religious.

     

    There might be an almighty but I don’t think he’d want much to do with organised religion.Unless he likes money and power,which being the creator of something as spectacular as the universe I can’t imagine he would.And if he is that type of god then I find him a bit repulsive.

     

    My mother is a very religious person and I respect that but i’ll take my chances.

    How the Scotish hun vanguard spends itself into oblivion is their business and hopefully we can show liquidation the red card for the 2nd time. However, the obliteration of the Daily Record as a journalistic enterprise in Scotland should be pursued into its oblivion independently.

  26. Anybody know the punchline to this:

     

    What do you get when you cross the Queen and Prince Phillip?

  27. MacJay

     

     

    We have for years not interrupted our enemy as it chews itself from the inside.

     

     

    Years and years and years,

     

     

    At some point that strategy will bite us in our asses.

     

     

    Its inevitable, we must rise up and strike or our immobility will prove to be our undoing.

     

     

    At what point does that strategy hemorrhage our life blood??

  28. Even Northern Ireland made a Euros.

     

     

    What Time is Love?

     

     

    Oh Ok… I missed it.
