Atletico, Malaga, “breathtaking hypocrisy”

I was pleased Hearts won last night as all season I’ve been telling people we will win the league by double figures. Dropping the ball on Wednesday night put that in jeopardy but the gap is back to 12 points ahead of the visit of Motherwell on Sunday.

Ronny is likely to deploy more first choice players for his final game as Celtic manager against a Motherwell team who staged a remarkable recovery after a dreadful 2015, which would have seem them relegated if it weren’t for the huge gap between Premiership and Championship.

It looked like farewell from Emilio on Wednesday but you have to expect a few more will possibly make their final competitive appearances in the hoops this weekend.

I see a “Five-in-a-row but Peter Lawwell just cannot win” article in The Scotsman. Aye, fair enough, but the article ploughs into the Resolution 12 guys, and accuses other Celtic fans of “breathtaking hypocrisy”.

It appears to imply Financial Fair Play rules are not applied elsewhere in Europe (citing Atletico Madrid), so there should be no issues with the rules not applying to Rangers in 2011. I don’t follow Spanish club licencing too closely, but you will remember Malaga being banned by Uefa for having “overdue payables” to the Spanish tax authorities.

The rules ARE applied, clubs are banned from European competition for overdue payables.

I’ve been in touch with both the Res 12 guys and Celtic on this matter this morning (they continue to work together on a daily basis). It’s fair to say both robustly rejected the tone in the article.  I don’t know how this matter will end, but it will not be decided at Hampden, or in a newspaper office – cards marked one more time.

  1. When you consider the supposed “talent” in that Hibs team, they done nothing but struggle this season.

  2. bhoywithseethrougheyes on

    Incredible how hibs failed to progress. Far superior over two legs.

     

    They can fairly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

  3. EDB because I was explaining why I believe that supporters should not renew that’s why.

     

     

    I equally have not warmed to you and it’s never been my intent for you to warm to me.

     

     

    That still doesn’t mean I don’t have empathy for what you are going through. Even if you don’t want it.

    I cant help but feel sorry for the Hibs fans they get let down time after time but the keep hoping .Well lets hope this is there year for the Scottish cup. H.H.

    Cheers for that, Efe’s best season will always be his next one.

     

     

    Hopefully he’ll cut out the silly mistakes and establish himself as a first pick.

    Surely Hibs must get one big result in their favour?! Hopefully it’s in the final.

    Just paid my crowdfunding tenner for the Guardian/ ZurcherZeitung ad and hope everyone who can afford to do it, will do the same.

    Said every Hibs fan, as every bookies in Edinburgh laughs and laughs :O)

  9. Winning Captains do you have a target for the funding? How is it looking so far? H H Hebcelt

  10. Not a good night. I’ve never liked Sheffield Wednesday since spending the most boring New Year ever in Dornoch. We were there with my mate whose client, an English guy called Malcolm, owned the hotel we stayed in. The said Malcolm was a Sheffield Wednesday fan but he was also a massive hun, the deadybears being his favourites.

     

    Does that make me a bitter Tim? Funnily enough Mrs PMTYH, a Brummy and a Baggies fan also hates Sheffield Wednesday for the same reason. The fact that she is also a Tim has nothing to do with it. :-)

     

     

    I suppose my moniker says it all.

    Can’t believe Hibs…

    Houston for manager

    Uncanny how Hibs manage to lose every big game they play, most of the time in the last minute. Must be the biggest bottle merchants in football.

    Pog

     

     

    I am a Blade having worked in Sheffield for some time. Blades follow Celtic.

     

     

    Owls, true to type, prefer darkness.

     

     

    There may be honourable exceptions but the general rule stands.

  15. glendalystonsils on

    ‘Hibsing it’ is now a scientifically recognised phenomenon and the phrase will appear in the next edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

  16. The Spirit of Arthur Lee on

    Enjoyed that game

     

     

    Gutted for young JK but Hibs are pish

     

     

    i hope Falkirk now pump Killie

     

     

    Love

  17. Hibs will be on the floor. Cant see them doing much next week but then again the Huns II are shiite so you never know.

    Substitute Malmo for falkirk and I’d say you’ve got that about right.

    “Hibsing it” requires failure over a prolonged period of time. Newco will not be able to “Hibs it” for a few generations due to their extremely young age.
