    See Dopey Keevins is going for them to win the league.

     

    Of course he is.

     

    His reasons,

     

    They seem to have a lot of firepower that we don’t,that could swing it.

     

    Yep,one thing we are really short of is goalscorers.

     

    There is no fool,like an old fool,as the saying goes.

     

     

    It’s the man’s opinion, to which he is perfectly entitled. It is hardly in the realms of fantasy for anyone to tip either Glasgow team for the league this season.

     

     

    In the build-up to season 2020/21 anyone suggesting Rangers would stop the 10 was ridiculed as needing locked up in a padded cell, or worse. We all know how that transpired.

     

     

    It is the job of football writers to make predictions at the start of a season. No sense in getting pissed if they choose Rangers. If he had said Hibs or Aberdeen I could see your point.

     

     

    Hail Hail.

    Not sure if you saw my early morning reply but yes I’ll be at Vale park next Saturday

    what is garish about these fine men ?

     

     

    Nothing. But I didn’t say they were garish men.

    Yes I did see your reply.

     

     

    It will be interesting to see how Broonie gets on as a manager.

    To be clear, I did enjoy the sight of the pictures of our heros on approach to the stadium, but they’ve been there for 3 years or more.

     

     

    It was time for a change.

  6. Tobago Street on

    Has Keevins ever predicted anyone other then Rangers to win the league? Has he ever predicted Celtic? If not I would suggest his views are not opinion but an entrenched position not subject to change.

     

     

    T

  7. Yes anyone can have opinions,just Dopeys always seem to be the same even when basic logic would suggest otherwise.What struck me most were his reasons.”They have more firepower throughout their team”Really?.If he really actually is putting that forward as his reason ,when every stat screams out,BULLSHIT,then I think its perfectly logical to call him “Dopey”,or uninformed,or ignorant of facts,,or maybe just trying to be noticed or relevant.How sad for a guy I spoke to regularly at the Celts For Change meetings.I know where his heart lies.

    He predicted Celtic for the league all through Brendan’s reign.

    Many including myself thought the title was in the balance, the manner of the League cup win in 2019, and the defeat at Celtic Park 29th Dec 2019 in a league game shortly after that cup win suggested to me and many others that there was very little between the sides

  10. Tom McLaughlin on

    For the ‘record’ I think Celtic will win the league by more than 9 points, with games to spare.

    It lies in his wallet, He used to boast his approach kept him in a job that paid for two weddings and that Ally McCoist got one of his daughters a job

  12. Martindale yesterday on Shortie,

     

    asked about the big opening game,

     

     

    i seens em on wednesday against west ham who are a top top team, and the rangers took them apart,

     

     

    he then went on to rave about rangers fire powere sounding every bit like a fan.

     

     

    so at this time next week we will be 3 points behing the champions elect and better not get excited about playing aberdeen.

    For the first time in almost a quarter of a century, both Old Firm sides kicked off at 3pm as they brought their pre-season campaigns to an end.

     

     

    Celtic hosted Norwich City at Parkhead while Rangers played Tottenham Hotspur inside Ibrox.

     

     

    Officers said they had ‘appropriate policing plans’ in place to deal with the situation.

     

     

    And cops confirmed to the Scottish Sun this morning that four men were arrested and charged in relation to football disorder yesterday.

     

     

    This is from The Sun Online…….the 4 were arrested at the Sevco game,disgraceful stuff but not surprising.P

    A fiver a month for Celtic TV and an app,really not difficult, and would pay for itself

  15. Huge has long since been reduced to useful idiot status in scoddish meeja…………

     

    like the apparent lone liberal on something like Fox news – Huge takes the place of a Tim and allows thems to claim a balanced view……………..

     

     

    As for his opinions? Not worth the toilet paper they are produced on…….

     

     

    Didn’t he boast about having 2 Bishops at his kids weddings, or somesuch irrelevant guff???

     

     

    He’s a handy throwback for hunned-up scoddland.

    RE Martindale;

     

     

    for some managers , these remarks could be seeen as mind games .

     

     

    Martindale doesn’t strike me as being a student of psychology though .

  17. Hugh is indeed a luddite throw-back.

     

     

    that a 70+ year man keeps on working is beyoned my ken.

     

     

    i dont drive, i cant use a mobile phone, i dont know who won what when or who some famous players and managers are ……….. but i do know rangers will win the league

     

     

    and so on and so forth

    Last night I was talking to my niece who lives in Prestonpans and goes to Celtic games. In the course of our Celtic chat she described how her ST is in the Lisbon Lions stand but she and her pals on the supporters bus used to gain access to the standing section.

     

     

    Apparently a guy would photocopy the front of a genuine ST card with the words ‘Standing Section’ and glue it to various similar sized cards, which were used to bypass security to get into the standing section.

     

     

    She did say that security eventually cottoned onto the scam and proper checks ensued. I seem to recall talk on CQN and elsewhere of the standing section being dangerously overcrowded at some gamss last season.

  19. Escobar?

     

     

    …….don’t make me laff! A latter-day Ernest Saunders – just along for the party where thems concerned.

  20. Hot Smoked

     

     

    Even in normal years I would go for Aberdeen at home as my preferred option.

     

     

    Even for the Huns Livi should be a potential banana skin.

    Rangers lost 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur in a pre-season friendly at Ibrox

     

    Police officers were allegedly attacked with street furniture during a mass brawl as football fans made their way to the Rangers vs Tottenham Hotspur match in Glasgow.

     

     

    The disturbance took place at about 13:30 on Saturday ahead of the pre-season friendly at Ibrox Stadium.

     

     

    Footage posted on social media shows a large group of fans fighting and wearing face coverings.

     

     

    A 24-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.

     

     

    Police said he was charged with mobbing and rioting offences as well as police assault.

     

     

    A further three men, age 25, 27 and 51 were also charged with breach of the peace offences.

     

     

    Stop and search

     

    There was a heavy police presence on Paisley Road West as fans made their way to the game, including officers from the Metropolitan Police.

     

     

    Ch Supt Mark Sutherland said he had allowed officers to carry out stop and searches of people in vehicles or on foot.

     

     

    He said: “Around 13:30 on Saturday, police officers were allegedly attacked with street furniture on Paisley Road West, near to Seaward Street, as they prevented a disturbance between rival football supporters.

     

     

    “There have been a significant number of football fans intent on causing disorder and violence across the city this afternoon and police officers have had to act swiftly and robustly to ensure public safety and reduce disorder.

     

     

    “As we approach the new football season I would make it clear that this behaviour will not be tolerated. It impacts other members of the public and the vast majority of football supporters who are in the city to enjoy the game.”

     

     

    Harry Kane scored twice during the match as Tottenham beat Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side 2-1.

    Has Keevins ever predicted anyone other then Rangers to win the league?

     

     

    ——-

     

     

    Honest answer TS? I don’t know.

     

     

    He did predict Artur Jorge would be the next Celtic Manager …..

     

     

    …. less than 3 hours before we unveiled Wim Jansen.

     

     

    Tells me all I need to know about his soothsaying abilities.

     

     

    Guy must be pushing 70 and is still trotting it out?

     

     

    I assume he needs the work and so has to toe the company line?

     

     

    Pitiful way to turn a dollar.

    Originally the steward would take actual hold of your card and look at both sides but stopped some years ago. I just open my wallet and they can see it, I assume my age is getting this low level of scrutiny😱😂😂😂

  28. BBC keeping their bargain with the huns:

     

     

    “Police officers were allegedly attacked with street furniture during a mass brawl as football fans made their way to the Rangers vs Tottenham Hotspur match in Glasgow.”

     

     

    NEVER say Rangers fans or Rangers supporters!

    If you buy it or click it – you’re funding it.

     

     

    Respectful suggestion?

     

     

    Pretend you’re from Liverpool and engage (or not) accordingly.
