Macjay,
Seriously???
Wow!
I am not (currently) a member of any CFC related organisation…
I do feel though, that the reactionary viewpoints espoused by you and your cohorts will only lead to an increase in CT membership. So, well done comrade.
BTW, I dont know KITALBA but he seems a very genuine and honest guy. Agreed?

Macjay,
Reactionary.
Just as well that there is a reaction to this,
Tovarich.
Cohorts ? Thin on the ground on here , mate.
I`ve known Kit personally for a LONG time.
Genuine and honest ? Dead right.
Brothers fight. Part of life.
So Macjay. What is your view on Anzac Day ?
SYDNEYTIM SAYS SACK LAWELL NOW on 25TH APRIL 2016 5:02 AM
Stop bickering and focus on the real enemy Ie Peter Lawell
===============================================================
Hi,Syd.
Yep.There are questions to be answered.
I`ll wait for the answers,mate.
Anzac Day is all about poor working class guys from Australia being massacred for King and country in the First World War at the behest of the English ruling classes in oz
Anzac Day Only kept alive by the awefull RSL clubs which only function now to make families life’s miserable due to pokies
SYDNEYTIM SAYS SACK LAWELL NOW on 25TH APRIL 2016 5:28 AM
So Macjay. What is your view on Anzac Day ?
===================================================================
Aussies ,in general love it.
I`ve been made very welcome in this country so ,of course , I support their commemoration.
Is that what you meant ?
I know what you say Macjay. But thinks it abhorrent
Syd.
From 1914 till 1918/19 all the Australian troops were volunteers or regulars.
They didn`t need ” behest.”
Syd.
Most vets. now are Vietnam vets.
The pokies issue. Couldn`t agree more.
Gambling in general is a curse here and growing apace.
Thanks to websites and clickbait.
Macjay. It was of course volunteers. But it was all about fighting the for the motherland and the King
The normal people of oz were against the war as the body bags came home and the ruling classes wanted something to bring people on board
So Anzac Day was born
Saw the one in wolengong today Was passing by and stopped
Seems to be mostly RSL clubs and their flags. Abhorrent that they only survive because of pokies
I would put everyone of them in the harbour. Then you would find Anzac Day would disappear in the past where it belongs. The days of matching up streets in uniforms should be binned
As for Vietnam vets. Got to feel sort for them , conscripted to fight for their new motherland. Ie the USA. So another reason it should be binned
re-posting this from yesterday
It isn’t merely ironic that the performance yesterday occurred on the same day as the London marathon.
The vast majority of the people running work two jobs, one that pays the bills and the other that occupies pretty well all of their thoughts.
You can pretty well guarantee that the vast majority of those who finished the Marathon today have far more enthusiasm for fitness, getting fitter and improving despite it not being their day job than those on the books at Celtic.
These folk are doing it for nothing and yet supposed professionals can’t be bothered to put in a decent shift for paying fans.
Not a good situation, Ronny-speak-bullshit-a-minute came on the authority he could and would change it. Nothing he did in practice suggests he moved the club forward 1% in that direction and most variables would say the progress was a zero sum gain, at best.
SYDNEYTIM SAYS SACK LAWELL NOW on 25TH APRIL 2016 6:08 AM
Mate.
The people like it.
And so the politicians climb on the bandwagon.
The basic concept is remembrance of those who died and gratitude for their sacrifice.
Not such a bad thing.
And,of course it`s an international phenomenon.
The Cenotaph in London.The recent commemoration of the Easter rising in Dublin.
The U.S. protected Oz. in `42 with troops on the ground .
Not inappropriate that Oz should have responded in `64 (?) and for the duration of the Vietnam war.
Agreed, though.
The glorification of war is abhorrent and it can drift in that direction.
Macjay. If it had no medals bands and uniforms it would be OK. But it’s just a glorification of war
BOB O’ BALDY on 25TH APRIL 2016 6:36 AM
I think much of the unrest with disappear with Ronny , assuming we have improved performance on the field .
The players look a bit robotic to me.As if they are constricted by tactics. No free spirited spontaneity.
Guys saying yesterday that Paddy always cuts inside.Always.
Maybe that`s an instruction.
Anyway. We have a future now unencumbered by Ronny.
I`m optimistic.
SYDNEYTIM SAYS SACK LAWELL NOW on 25TH APRIL 2016 6:49 AM
Macjay. If it had no medals bands and uniforms it would be OK. But it’s just a glorification of war
=====================================================================
For some , no question about it.
Bob o baldy. Disagree. Think he and PL have taken club backward
Platini have our club a free run to CL. No big guns clubs with fraction of our support and income
But last 2 years has seriously effected our seeding. Free run has gone
Peter lawells in appointing a project manger has not just cost our club the income of CL of last few years. But now for future 4 years. Up to 100m that our club can ill afford to lose
Nice one Peter
Good morning friends from a beautiful dry.bright and sunny East Kilbride.
The end of the season now can’t come quick enough for me. For the first time I can remember I’m pretty much footballed-out and could really do with 3 months of no football involvement whatsoever. Just get the league won, the trophy presented and then let’s all go on our holidays.
Really thought that yesterday the playters would have realised that they owed us a performance. Sadly that wasn’t what transpired.
Scunnered.
JOBO BALDIE on 25TH APRIL 2016 7:06 AM
I know.
And yet , there`s Wee Leigh chasing down every ball.
Enjoy your lovely day in Bonny Scotland .
Just noticed those imposters had a player of the year dance last night
Did anyone have the cheek to turn up?
good to meet up with CQNLegend TTTT again yesterday; he says he finds ModrenCQN ‘not quite to his taste’, or words to that effect.
Which is a shame, but a completely valid standpoint.
Anyways, if H/Tim finishes cleaning the decking he may enjoy ‘Irish-the remarkable Saga of a Nation and a City’, by ole cleverclogs John Burrowes. It is a good read, but as I said yesterday would have benefited from better editing, and marshalling of the impressive facts he has unearthed, for example in Glasgow in the 18th century there were 45[!] anti Catholic societies to prevent the cities’ 7[!!!] Catholics getting too uppity.
And thanks to Minx for the Famine memorial badge- it drew many admiring glances from the sect114diehard Timbleweeds.
BLANTYRETIM
According to my kid sis,the players turned up for ten minutes,then disappeared as usual!
She’s fair scunnert anaw.
DBBIA
It’ll be top of my summer reading list, many thanks!
Retirement is clearly agreeing with you sir! Keep well.
Off to the coal face.
DBBIA
Sadly,TTTT is not alone in his judgement.
Hopefully Minx or HT will save me a badge. Don’t wanna miss out on this year’s must-have.

the board are simply not delivering to their own stated objectives. Only a few years ago, we were on the right road. At the end of 2012, we had a bank debt of £3m and had returned a net loss of over £7m (pre tax)
Yet, at the end of that season we sold no one, but bought Fraser Forster.
Fast Forward a year and we are in group stages of CL, top of SPL with an unbeaten record, and have set a new record for clean sheets.
The bank balance was now positive £5.7m.
Bankier stated (on the back of those results) :
“The strategy of the Board is unchanged; our overwhelming priority is to win the SPFL Premiership and to qualify for the group stages of the UEFA Champions League and beyond”
That same season ended and we sold £20m of players and invested £5m
The following year, we sold £10m and invested £4m
Last year £13.5m sold and £3m invested.
Why did they deviate?
The clue is in the final part of Bankier’s statement:
“we seek to give our manager the best tools for the job, within the constraints of our economic environment; we aim to create value by investing in our youth academy and by acquiring players that we can develop; and in terms of the finances we seek to live within our means. All of this helps us prepare for the future and the economic uncertainties, which have had such a devastating effect on many other football clubs”
Some think it was the correct strategy, some disagree. The current strategy is not delivering, unless zero bank debt is the aim. If it is, in another 2 seasons, we won’t have achieved that either.
Was he spooked by the hun demise?
TWISTS N TURNS on 25TH APRIL 2016 7:34 AM
Great assessment.
The elephant in that particular room is the two years of Deila.
That was the overriding mistake.
Macjay
morning bud.
He is definitely a part of the problem.
Time to retrieve it though Mac, time yet with the right moves.

Ten minutes longer than during the match

Oh,yes.
Positivity.
I`ll have lots of that.

I think the more pertinent question you should have asked TBM should have been ‘why do you feel that way?’ rather than asking why he felt the need to share his feelings.
You’re a smart guy. You well know that a blog can only exist because people share their views and feelings.
As for your view that replacing RD will solve most or all of our problems I couldn’t agree less. There’s a deep malaise throughout so many aspects of our performance as a team, a club and a Plc.
This is a crossroads of huge importance.
As for yesterday’s game my eyes have only just stopped bleeding…..

You obviously have no war veterans in your family or you would realise that your views are as warped on anzacs as they are on Celtic
Agreed on pokies- scourge of society but not really strongly linked to anzacs tbh- a lot of businesses are held up by gambling in Oz; woolies, rsl, afl and rugby clubs…Could be worse, this site could encourage gambling and our club could have a betting sponsor…oh,,,
Hi,
Was at game yesterday. Strange game and atmosphere.
My take was Brown and Bitton were the ones that the fans had decided didn’t try enough last week.
Ross County are no mugs so it was never going to be easy but once again it was our midfield that didn’t work.
Thought Rogic and Richards were unlucky to be subbed. They both done more than Brown and Bitton. Richards hold up play/ball retention was good. Should’ve buried his chance though.
Rogic was the guy if anything positive was going to happen it was from him but he was subbed to a round of boos aimed at the management .
Wee Paddy is quality but he keeps cutting inside/not releasing it early enough to a teammate and it’s frustrating. Think he feels it’s all on him to do something and there’s a problem on its own. Delia, Brown or any older teammate should be giving him advice but no not a word.
Then we have the Commons thing. One of my favs. Yes he has been a brilliant match winner in the past. Yes he’s maybe been frozen out by Delia but maybe with good reason. His attitude this season whether he’s been picked or not has been poor. His last appearance against Killie I think showed it. I thought he’d downed tools that game yet he got cheered on yesterday.
I don’t like it if it seems a player could be not trying for the manager even if he’s one of my favs.
The management, team and fans just need a final push over the line.
Interesting summer ahead.

DBBIA,
One wonders how many anti-Kafflik “societies” there are in Glasgow now. Hazarding a wee guess, I imagine there are a lot more than 45. One regularly gets 45,000 howling their hatred and are lauded for it by politicians and police.
Twist and turns. We as you say brought in 20m in 2012 and we had CL
Never invested it
That year PL received a long service bonus and his full normal bonus
Total of over 1.6m
He saw it was easy money
Don’t invest. Keep money incase of failure to CL and produce it AGM and 100% bonus
Why risk all the cash and fail and lose bonus. When garranteed bonus by gambling for Cl with no investment then failing and sell and get bonus
Since 2012 he had received Max bonus of approx 400k while Cl has been failure
It’s all about himself Most fans now waking up to this
Sell KT and Max bonus again
Or demonstrate and get him out
