Dear SFA, a joke hurt our feelings

1666

Can you imagine how a formal complaint about the comment ‘Rory Bremner can pretend to be Tony Blair’ would be composed?

‘Dear SFA, a rude man’s joke hurt our feelings.  Tell him straight, no more jokes!’

I clicked onto the NEW club’s site to confirm their reaction.  As well as complaining about a joke [it wouldn’t hurt if it wasn’t true], they complain about the Daily Record, “the paper is riddled from top to bottom with an anti-Rangers bias”, just to prove they also have a sense of humour.

They also attempted to put a stake in the ground by affirming that Pinsent Masons, now representing Scotland’s champions and sole Champions League participants, did not report to the police that Craig Whyte has any connection to the club/company.

No one has ever suggested that Pinsent Masons made such a report.  This is a bit like insisting that Ally McCoist will not manage the Champions League winners this season.  Pinsent Masons were far too busy taking instructions from their top client’s chief executive, in his non-comedic role.

What a laugh!

    “I thought that was pretty obvious.

     

     

    “Pairing is there for a reason.

     

     

    “It allows MPs do do things, legitimate, worthwhile things, things I hope we would all support, away from Parliament, without affecting or distorting the outcome of a vote.

     

     

    “But then maybe the SNP aren’t concerned about the rise of Antisemitism in Europe.

     

     

    “Certainly a lot of them weren’t that bothered in the 1930s.”

     

     

    No, it wasn’t pretty obvious. I wouldn’t have asked otherwise. The clue was the question.

     

     

    Douglas Alexander is supposed to represent his constituents. As a Labour MP he should have been voting against the bedroom tax, an issue that has serious implications on working class people throughout the UK. What the Tory MP does is irrelevant. Although they always do what is best for their voters without exception.

     

     

    Not only did Alexander state that Anti-Semitism is a bad thing, but also that visiting Auschwitz is a reminder of what can happen.

     

     

    He had to go there to come to that conclusion?!?! Watching The World At War would have been cheaper and every bit as informative.

     

     

    Do you think the good fight against Anti-Semitism would flounder had Alexander stayed behind to vote against the bedroom tax?

     

     

    Admittedly we would have missed out on his invaluable insight. I’m glad he got something out of the trip.

     

     

    I am not interested in what the SNP did in the 1930s, but I am concerned that people like Alexander are in high positions in the Labour Party. A bland career politician who can’t be arsed turning up for crucial votes, but is very good at stating the bleeding obvious.

    Chris is a forward even though he played a few times at the back, he’s never down as a defender

    Aye, it was a mild wee joke, but he never looked out of place when he played there.

    If we’re going to call thems rorys, we should also have a rhyming slang name a la currant buns (currants).

     

     

    I suggest Jackanories.

  5. Wonderful to hear Chris Sutton state that the best five years of his football career were at Celtic. The greats who pass through Parkhead gates never forget us.

    ‘No, it wasn’t pretty obvious. I wouldn’t have asked otherwise. The clue was the question.’

     

     

     

    #####

     

     

    ‘I prefaced the article with this.

     

     

     

    ‘The outcome of the vote would have been the same if they had turned up.That’s how the pairing system works. And it allows them to deal with other stuff. Stuff like this.’

     

     

    If it’s not obvious to you from that comment why I quoted the piece then I can appreciate why you can’t understand how pairing works.

  7. A reporter for the Daily Record is walking

     

    through the park where 2 young boys are

     

    playing football. a dog runs over to them an

     

    attacks 1 of the boys. Without thinking the

     

    second boy beats the dog to death with a

     

    stick. Impressed by the boys quick thinking

     

    the reporter writes “brave Rangers fan saves

     

    his friends life”, but the boy tells him that he’s

     

    NOT a Ger . So the repoter writes “brave Thistle

     

    fan saves friends life” So when the boy says

     

    he doesn’t support Thistle either, the reporter

     

    asks who he does support, and when the

     

    young kid says Celtic , the reporter changes

     

    the headline to “Celtic hooligan murders family

     

    pet”.

    Hip report just in….

     

    I am hame….safely ensconced in my own living room….watching Ireland v Australia at rugby…thanks for all kind wishes and the visits….few months recuperation and taking it easy…whits new when you are retired!

     

     

    Re the permanently offended…..hahahaha hahahahahaha…..anything that gets the truth out suits me….there are better jokes and funnier ones but the funniest is that everybody did it too them and none of it’s their fault….more to come regarding Spivco and it’s great I’ll have a front seat.

     

     

    Re res 12, enjoyed reading the explanation from Auldheid BRTH Canalamar and Morrissey, well done bhoys keep up the work…you do realise that it was res 12 that probably sparked the joke…the last time PL cracked a funny Oldco ended up deid….déjà vue all over again as Rodney would say….

    I’m perfectly aware of what pairing is, thanks.

     

     

    But do you seriously think Alexander had to visit Auschwitz to be reminded that Anti-Semitism is a bad thing?

  10. Peter’s Joke, was a much needed response to a shareholders frustration at the msm blanket refusal to accept the fact that rangers are dead and so is their history. We Celtic fans needed to hear that from him.

     

     

    Hail Hail.

  11. Anyone seen much of the St.Johnstone boy, Stevie May ? Seen very little of him and just wondered if he would be considered good enough for us.

  12. channelislandcelt wee oscar has done it before and he'll do it again on

    English talking pash !! Obsessed with the truth Tom – thats all !

  13. GlassTwoThirdsFull on

    Jackson saying the SFA have said they are the same club. Anyone remember this?

     

    Spiers at least telling it correctly.

  14. Radio Scotland-shameful,in denial,Speirs already admitted anybody telling the truth will get threatened-but wont say what side would do the threatening-shameful bunch of crapbags

  15. Ally McCoist dies and goes to heaven. God showed him to his new dwelling and it was a rundown shack with with an old tattered Union Jack hanging over the front door. Ally wasn’t too happy with this at all.

     

     

    He looked off into the distance and saw a beautiful mansion with a massive Celtic Flag hanging over the doorway. Ally thinks to himself, “Neil Lennon must have died too” and so he says to God, “I don’t mean to be ungrateful, but how come Lennon gets that gorgeous mansion for a home and all I get is this

     

    rundown shack?” God put his arm round Ally and chuckles, “That’s not Neil’s home, that’s mine!.”

    I’m not sure if you’re arguing for the sake of it or you really are that thick but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

     

     

    The visit to Auschwitz wasn’t for the benefit of those attending.

     

     

    It was to highlight the issue of antisemitism, which is an issue of life and death for people in some parts of the EU.

     

     

    Not that that would bother you.

  18. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    Ernie..,

     

    As I said today, you lost the argument when you evaded billys main point, the Labour party thought so little of the vote they allowed pairing to happen, disgraceful.

  19. Instead of making a jibe, Peter Lawwell should have made a statement telling it as it is.

     

     

    New club, full stop.

     

    Old club dead along with the history, full stop.

     

     

    Why has he not done that?

     

     

    That would really give these pathetic journos ??? Something to debate.

     

     

    An official , unequivocal statement from Celtic is all I ask.

     

     

    Why the hell doesn’t big Pete do it?
