Beating Newco the only language they understand

203

After humiliation upon humiliation, Newco reduced Celtic’s ticket allocation at Ibrox from 7,000 to 700 tickets.  Prisoners to their own fans, their board took action, knowing Celtic would reciprocate.  Celtic issued a notice at the time saying they would rather not play silly buggers (I think that’s how they put it), but Newco boxed themselves into a corner (a bit like their idea of visiting fans), their allocation for Celtic Park was also reduced.

A new era and a new season, both clubs seemed keen to revert to 7,000 visiting fans but Newco were worried that come 2 January, a winter wave could be in play, reducing or eliminating fans altogether when the teams meet at Celtic Park.  Unable to face their fans having permitted 7,000 Celtic fans at Ibrox in September if the same number of Newco fans were not able to cross the city in January, they capitulated.

The only lesson they actually learn is being well beaten by Celtic, no matter who is watching or refereeing.  Attempting to communicate with them in any other way is pointless, they will learn nothing and I include financial responsibility in that.  Get back to scoring five against them as a matter of course, they understand that message clearly enough.

    Tom, there was even some on here who went nearly fifty years believing Celtic only took four penalties against Inter Milan back in 1972. Ye coodnae make it up,,,,,

    “”””””””””

     

    It looks like Ibrox has found another striker who knows were the net is, and his rivalry with Morelos could make Ibrox goal ratio increase.

     

    We are watching Ange being “done” by the same team, with the same tactics, twice in a few months?

     

    I thought Ange was sold to supporters as a, sage manager who’s been round the block, and is well tuned into his surroundings, and wouldn’t fall for the same trick twice?

     

    Maybe not.

     

    I saw Ange falling for the same trick, two games in a row a few months ago, AZ away, Ibrox away, same approach, same outcome.

     

    How long would a boxer last if he/she was knocked to the canvas so often, caught with the same punch?

    Lewandowski – shocking penalty.

     

     

    Waste of space.

     

     

    Get rid of him.

    @BrumWorker @georgegalloway Fair enough. But that’s why we PAY taxes. To live in clean neighbourhoods. It’s only with somebody like George Galloway , leading from the front that REAL change will happen. https://twitter.com/Andyroundhead10/status/1455625914755190785?s=20

  8. George is the swamp

     

    George is the malaise.

     

    Lost his way some would say as far back as Hillhead..

     

    If not before.had a lucid interval on senate commitee

     

    Now only serves up the divide and rule as the only way forward.

     

    The thousand year old genocidal cult that is the union,

     

    And its ‘johnwayne’ bobbitt sentries here(tam the ranter/jhb/dannyO/Michael o etc)declining to explain why Scotlands symbol of that union(clue Sir Dave selt up for 100 pence) exited Itself oot so publicly,that was funny,the redaction of history ongoing keeps me giggling and will for the rest of time.

     

    Imagine a non match attending,(i doubt if ever,)telling you what to do with your Celtic.denotes a singular lack of what Celtic is to people,especially the scroll by paragraphs.go and phone in your hero

     

    To this working class guy you and those dumb enough to follow are frauds and eunuchs politically.

  10. Well done Tony on the new contract.Totally deserved.Pass on some tips on how to improve to Mikey Johnston.

     

    Still Juranovic at RB for me.

    Blah Blah Blah.

     

    So, name a cult figure who’d terrify 100% of Celtic’s enemies?

     

    One name will do, thanks.

  12. martin o'seville on

    AN TEARMANN,

     

    name a kilted cult mp who has the courage to debate, face to face, with George-Galloway?

     

    One name, just one.

     

    Thanks.

  13. Dybala misses penalty, but Kiev players encroach, so gets a retake. No chance of Madhun doing that when Livi players did the same.

  14. George Galloway peaked in the USA a decade and a half ago.

     

    Since then his lust for cash and his photos with Farage and Bannon have made him a joke figure…. And that’s not including the cat impersonation.

  15. Watching Bayern v Benfica Bayern on easy street the moment,4/1 ,looking we’re the dugouts are in the main Stand very impressed,that’s what Celtic should do upgrade a bit here and there ,also we’re the press box is surely that whole steel structure could be removed and replaced with corporate seats ,we’re I’m sure they would be taken up ,is that feasible.

  16. LAXALT

     

    Lawwell told shareholders he had never seen the 5 way agreement. Several drafts were emailed to him. He therefore lied to his own shareholders, for which he should be struck off. An eternity of time wouldn’t prove that wrong.

  17. name a kilted cult mp who has the courage to debate, face to face, with George-Galloway?

     

     

    One name, just one.

     

    Thanks.

    Ian Astbury???

  18. The speed of some of these breakaway goals in the Champions League is breathtaking. Juve score another at amazing speed.

  19. 67 European Cup Winners on 2nd November 2021 3:16 pm

     

    Good points!!

     

     

    Such a weird article Paul… so, we can rectify some, petty ticket bias by one day smashing them on the park??

     

     

    By results, the current reality is that the chance would be a fine/remote thing. And again, it asserts that our main focus is to be obsessed by THAT MOB. Fuggem and their every act of commercial desperation.

     

    THEMS try every trick and sleight, every hook and crook to give them a competitive advantage; we know that.

     

    In fact, there’s evidence that our execs have enabled that in the past.

     

    And I, for one, won’t be surprised if we again lose the league which may – again – help their financial plight.

     

     

    I’d suggest our onfield/off-field totally ignore that and focus on putting a team out that can first overcome minnows who stop us from playing and scoring. It’s time for this team to play the Ange way and turn performances into consistent results.

     

     

    Also, every congratulations to Tony Ralston who fully deserves the security and wealth of a new deal and proves previous coaches had issues spotting the best posi for the role. For me he’s our No1 RB as he, more than any other player, gives us a sense of local identity and some onfield grit, which Ange respects and desires.

     

     

    Hail hail young Tony; you come across as a determined, humble and hardworking model professional.

     

     

    PS for those fretting over Joe’s pronunciation of Glasgow, you should hear the downunder manglings which invariably add a bovine PLUS a question every time they mention my home town !

  20. Ronaldo ( who else? ) scored for Man U in first half stoppage time. Now pressing Atalanta at 2-1 down with 10 minutes to go. Wouldn’t be surprised if he did it again,

     

    Lewandowski gets his hat truck. Now 5-2 Bayern.

  21. Finished

     

    As shat oot as the hun identity

     

    That symbol of the union in Scotland.

     

    Now fagging his fellow brexiteers

     

    the single most racist act of harm on the whole economy,and the poor weak and needy pay for it.

     

    The liars and charlatans protecting those who already have.and still they don’t think they are wrong.

     

    Sold out and seen thro by this working class chap.

     

    When you fight against divide and rule all ones life by those in power, it is sick to see the charity fundraising charlatan use the thousand year old genocidal unions

     

    divide and rule speak,and him a socialist tae…..my arse

    INIQUITOUSIV

     

    Do you mean Lawwell wouldn’t allow it because he is more sleekit than the other two? Because he certainly espouses the same position, and buries the truth at every opportunity.

     

    On at least two occasions Peter Lawwell made humorous comments on camera openly ridiculing Rangers and the same club myth.

     

     

    He was subsequently criticised on CQN for making those comments.

     

     

    Go figure.

  23. So what about the symbol of the union getting toileted in 2012.

     

     

    Do you think the makey upper is a handy chatel?

     

    Not being malicious when I ask?

     

    Government and as squinty as daves eye.

     

    The launderette can’t be shut the noo.

  24. Tom didn’t you get pulled up as Gold Coast for telling lies regarding monikers on here a few years ago.

  25. I was right. Ronaldo does it again. The number of last minute goals he scores is just incredible.

  26. TOM MCLAUGHLIN

     

    True. It’s a pity Nicholson supported Wilson at the fan forum this week. These directors are supporting the “Big Lie” to the detriment of you and I, our club, and their club. Nicholson also blatantly lied face to face with fans at the forum. How reprehensible is that?

  27. Tom McLaughlin on

    FAIRHILL BHOY

     

     

    I wasn’t. But several innocent posters were harassed and accused of being me by one particular poster.

     

     

    Anyway what is your point? Where have I accused anyone of using multi monikers?

     

     

    Get back to your knitting sweetie-wife.

  28. Atalanta have contrived to lose a 2_0 lead,and a 2_1 lead to Man U,in added on time in 2 games,through a myriad of wrong decisions and woeful carelessness.

  29. The Sunday Post !!??

     

     

    Jings ! Crivvens! Help ma boab! CR7 has done it again. Is the guy even human?
