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.

Zlatan on ending his stay at PSG, “I came like a king, I leave like a legend”. And then some.

    Can`t help feeling sympathy for long suffering Hibs supporters.

     

     

    The Championship is not where they should be.

     

     

    Mind you , redemption , for me anyway , will come if they slay the hun dragon in the final.

     

     

    ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

     

     

    They have had an excellent season all things considered. I’m just wanting Liam to come back ready to really go for a place in the Celtic first 11.

     

     

    If the Hibs Won the Cup, and they have had a very long campaign, well I’d be so delighted.

     

     

    Party

    WC,

     

     

    I love the hyperbole…..but the TRUTH is , it is what it is…..120% neutral ;-))……the problem with a blog like this is that when presented with snippets & hints….some will interpret it to suit their preconceived notions…..so….

     

     

    If you insist on telling us the truth…..keep it to yourself ;-))

  3. Interesting that Thomson does not send off a player who denies a goalscoring opportunity though give penalty in Hibs game.

     

    Like he did at Celtic v Aberdeen.

     

    But had no hesitation when sending off Efe in semi when it was a lot less clear.

     

    Does he have selective judgement with teams wearing green.

     

    Maybe the sfa can ask him for clarification on this.

     

    If he gives an honest response then all teams with a green strip could save him embarrassment by wearing their alternative kit.

    Always had a soft spot for Hibs.

     

    Really hope they get it together soon.

     

    Liam yes.

     

     

    Tony Stokes…………What next ?

    What do you want to know?

     

     

    Res 12? Statement from club is coming.

     

     

    Res 12 guys will be 100% happy with statement.

     

     

    It may have a cherry on top – this extra %.

     

     

    The choice of candidates in the poll and why selected.

     

     

    Keane cos the bookies suspended betting on him or some other nonsense.

     

     

    Moyes and Rodgers cos they are more likely to be right. Toss a coin.

  6. Basically Bojo is a member of some sort of society or Brotherhood that worship baal amongst others. Anything but Christianity.

  7. Foxy,

     

     

    I found it interesting that the BBC ran with a story this week, a Headline Story that the threat level of an attack by Republican dissidents on the Mainland mean’t the threat level had been raised…. of course saying that this was taking away much needed resources against the fight against ISIS.

     

     

    The Queen is scared of these forces, to her Eternal credit she has warned the World about the Dark Forces at work here.

     

     

    Why Brexit?

     

     

    Nimrod is promoted in the Parliament there.

     

     

    Like everywhere these days, not any good choice.

     

     

    The US Constitution gave the people Great freedom, even if it was rocky early on, Timeless.

     

     

    It needs a revival but going by the Transhumanist stuff happening now. This is it.
