Atletico, Malaga, “breathtaking hypocrisy”

1307

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.

    I dont buy the tabloids, any of them. The Sun’s reporting re Hillsborough was a disgrace. They apologised and it came out shortly afterwards the Sun’s journalists were lied to by trusted sources.

     

     

    There comes a point when you have to move on and accept an apology if it’s merited. Liverpool FC accepted The Sun’s apology that they made a “terrible mistake” due to the lies of their trusted sources.

     

     

    The Sun is the nations biggest selling newspaper. Needless to say it makes perfect sense for Celtic to have a relationship with them.

     

     

    The Sun are not barred from Liverpool press conferences are they? No, they are not.

     

     

    I think your reasoning for hating Lawwell on this issue is emotionally charged but doesnt stand up to scrutiny.

    This clown kite flying again, no proof what so ever, when was the last time this fish wife got a story right, he knows about as much as any of us do, amateur night, but read it, skirts around a story, but it’s all abou PL, this blogger is becoming like, James Forrest, and Phil Mac, they’ve fecked up with all the Sevco stories, PL is now the new Buzz Word, pathetic, IMO, same as they have theirs .

    Well he got the idea about Res12 guys being played, which I believe you held for a time – long grass etc- wrong. The Truth?

    However the intro to that article by The Reiver I think is spot on.

    Not commented at all for quite some time but Peter L – I think you need to listen to the advice of the Moody Blues and ‘go now’.

     

     

    £1m a year to run a £50m business is at least £750k too much.

     

     

    Sorry Peter, you have done some good work over the years but now it’s time to go – The Sun! FFS!

  4. A zoomer masterclass in logic inversion going on in here right now!

     

     

    Ref the meedja stuff. So if PL didnae say it and bigger bad boys in the MSM went away and printed whatever they wanted in defiance of Pistol Pete what does that tell you about the efficacy of our media operations and PL’s less but still oft quoted clout in Scottish football.

     

     

    Witless, toothless, spineless.

     

     

    Celtic – won the war, lost the peace.

    Foxy,

     

    They did not apologise because they got it wrong or that they were give bad info, it was proven to be a conspiracy which they were involved in. They apologised because of the drop in circulation figures.

     

    They did not need to ask if their tapping of a dead girls phone was wrong but they went ahead anyway, that is the MO of that rag, and you trying to illicit sympathy for them is disgraceful.

    The guys a CT crackpot, for to hold PL to account on a story in the sun as ignoring the sensitivity of others is shocking, why make a scathing accusation at the CFC CEO ? And he represented Celtic football club, aye right, hand picked from the Celtic Trust, malcontents the lot of them, politics, agendas, innuendos , bottom line pain in the arse, ah? But they do good charity work, that they do, but it comes with a price,.

    Dinny be silly.

     

     

    Tony Donnelly was 1690% behind resolution 12 from the start and Celtic were always all over it before you guys even conceived the notion of fthe requirement for it’s need.

     

     

    That’s me cryptically calmly Tony Donnelly a outright LIAR.

    Oh and you weren’t being played? You know and I know you where being played at that time, I said at the time what I thought your problem was, and that’s well documented and they know who they are, it should have been left with Celtic from the start, they where on it, you guys highlighted it and went bull headed with it, and that’s when the sheet hit the fan, on what’s going on now? I’ll keep my powder dry, and trust CFC, and I’ll do that any time before I trust Canamalar and Morrissy any time, you want to go over old ground Auldheid, fine by me, you got played and you know it, and your other mistake was showing the CT res 12, and you can deny that all you want, but that’s for another day, let res 12 go where it’s going, and we’ll see, looks to me like your pouting like a big Do ? Don’t blow your trumpet to early, the fat lady’s not in the building yet, in fact she hasent even left Hampden yet.

    Hope everyone here who can, donate for a bit of truth in the press.

     

    Took me about 30 seconds there.

     

    Good luck WC and the Res 12 IV.

    A DRUNK mother has been cleared of shouting anti-Catholic slurs during a Scottish League Cup tie between Hearts and Celtic………Solicitor Richard Soutar said his unemployed client suffered from an “ongoing alcohol problem” and….. had recently married her wife and had spent a night in the cells following her arrest.’

    If I’v ever got a problem with CFC I e mail them, I don’t need an AGM EGM , a protest, petition, walk out, banner, or the GB , or the CT, or the CSA, Tony Donnelly speaks for no one, when I have a problem, I’m quit capable of handling it myself thank you, attacks on the CFC board and CEO,? I will defend unless it’s valid, I don’t e mail everything that the club and CEO are accused of in here, as most of it is Hun ridden and playground kite flying, I’ll stand by my club and trust the answers they give me from my e mails, some in here won’t do that, one, they’d rather believe the crackpot who posts it, or two, they won’t like the truth told to them, they want to live in they’r ama rebel world, we put the old board to the sword, we can do the same to this one, these are the big shots who not so long ago boo’d the man who saved our club, while he unfurled a league, yes I kid you not, and from that day on I’v been behind the club, and even before that, but try and find one person to admit today, that he boo’d that day? Some will put they’r hand up to it yes, you want to find a guy who applauded that day, ME, the guy that sends e mails to get answers, rather than listen to the trumpets in here. HH

    Bit hard? I doubt it, Auldheid like me is big enough and ugly enough to fight his corner, of that I have no doubt, if I’m wrong (which I very much doubt) he’s in for a rough ride soon.

    Nothing cuts like the truth..?

     

    My evidence is the self evidence of virtually every word written by Paul67 sounds like Peter Lawwell sounds.

     

     

    Only the most those suffering from the most acute state of denial could think otherwise.

     

     

    Do you just think it is coincidence?
