Energising offensively

1455

I’ve spoken to many Celtic fans over the last couple of days but I’ve not met one who would have preferred Roy Keane to be our manager instead of Ronny Deila.  Despite some impeccable references, Ronny is a largely unknown character, but there is an appreciation among the support that we need to come up with a plan to enable the club to over-achieve in Europe.

The man’s performance at the media conference was faultless.  It’s not important to quick-witted but his use of words like “energise” and “offensive” is promising.  Football is in the entertainment business and Ronny appears to appreciate the link between the way his team perform, not just their results, and the ultimate satisfaction supporters’ leave the ground with.

Our thanks to the Greenock Celtic Supporters Club for hosting last night’s CQN Lions fundraiser for the Celtic FC Foundation.  We were fortunate to be entertained by Willie Wallace, John Hughes and Bertie Auld, it was a fantastic night, full of laughs.

Special thanks to those who attended and helped raise over £2000 for the Foundation, and to those who promised to get involved with the Foundation.  The club is in good hands with supporters like those in Greenock last night.  Big shout to Joe and Mick for bringing a familiar old friend along.

    William Woolfe, Commies, Tartan Tories, it’s about time people who are voting YES get to the back of the bus and remember their place…

     

     

    BTW This tennis is some match….

  3. Kojo – you’re on fire today. ‘socialists mess up every country’ – aye, like the ones who were deregulating the banking system and then running amok in it causing global financial crisis? Like the ones who have Ireland for one instance in hock to the troika for ever and a day? Socialists were responsible for the sub prime crisis that started the domino run of bank collapses?

     

     

    The only thing approaching socialism that happened was that the capitalists who f%&*&d us all over ran to the state and the state bailed them out. Then the state came to the worker, the disabled and the unemployed and squeezed us to pay for the bail out.

     

     

    I take it you’re alright jack? So it becomes easier for you and your singing sidekick to believe the utter nonsense and economic illiteracy you spout.

    The better together lot. Isn’t is interesting irrespective of their political leanings, all they have to offer is fear, paranoia and hysteria.

    Ernie knows full well it’s not about Nats but he continues to perpetuate the lie. He detests anything Scottish, or if he doesn’t I have yet to read anything positive about Scotland from him.

     

     

    He defends The Labour Party at every opportunity, regardless of illegal wars and their innate corruption and lies.

     

     

    Oh, and he lives in Croydon and doesn’t have a vote!

    We’d have received the same latitude from the SFA/SMSM as we received from the bank in 1994 i.e none.

     

    Contrast the support and patience they got from the Bank of Scotland, despite their far greater debt levels.

    When are we EVER going to get it in our thick skulls that voting for independence is NOT a vote for wee fat Eck? Personally I couldn’t give a monkeys about the SNP.

     

     

    It’s to get rid of the middle class Germans in hock with the Rothschild gang, that use the likes of Cameron drain Scotland of its natural resources.

  8. If I ever had the good fortune to win life’s lottery and I walked into a bar and stood there was the likes of Estadio, Ol’tim, Celtic-Lover (RIP), SMB, Paul67, and TSD, I’d count how much money I had and if double whiskies were 4 pound a double and I had 40 pound, my luck would be in… I’d set up the doubles for Estadio, Ol’tim, Celtic-Lover (RIP), SMB, Paul67, and I’d turn to TSD and I’d boot him right in the baws, twice. And before the polis could get the cuffs on I’d give my wallet to ol’tim and say “when SFTB turns up, get him a pint and a double on me”.

    Ya MORON !!

     

     

     

    It Was Clinton Who Deregulated The Banks…

    What ever you do,

     

    When ever the moment greets you,

     

     

    We were young too and we supported the Celtic just like all of you.

     

     

    And we still do.

     

     

    We’re not greener than you,

     

     

    We’re not holier than you,

     

     

    We’re not better than you,

     

     

    We are just Celtic Supporters without trumpets.

     

     

    You have a good one mate.

    I don’t know if it adds to the Telfer discussion, but here is a copy of a letter from D&P authorising Sevco/TRFC to play players registered with RFC (IL) from 27 July 2012. Charlie Telfer is one of those named, for whom the transfer of registration is requested.

     

     

    http://www.scribd.com/doc/228655347/2012-07-27-Transfer-of-Player-Registrations

     

     

    The request for dispensation was made referencing SPL Rule D1.16, pending the transfer of the SPL share to Dundee. The SPL rule, at that date, read as follows:

     

     

    D1.16 A Registered Player must not, except with the prior consent of the Board and the Club to which he is Registered, play Football for any other Football club in any competition or except with the prior consent of the Club to which he is Registered, train with such other Football Club.

    FWIW

     

     

    My biggest bugbear re this indy ref, is this HS Train their planning. £50b at the moment, and going by the Edinburgh trams costs, will probably be nearer £70b. Scotland will probably pay approx £20b of that cost and the bleeding thing isnae even coming here. I want out. YES.

    Clinton was merely a puppet in the service of the owners of central banks, who was obeying his slave masters wishes so they could consolidate their wealth. Just as “austerity” is doing the same thing for them now.

     

     

    This would mean that you’re only half informed, and your insults “boomerang-ish”.

    “Gordon Strachan bought in value markets.”

     

     

    Is that right.

     

     

    Was Scotland a value market?

     

     

    Scott Brown – £4.4million from Hibs.

     

     

    JVOH, the Netherlands value market – £3.75million.

     

     

    Italy? Donati.

     

     

    Spain? Gravesen,Hinkel?

     

     

    England? Maloney, Loovens, Samaras, Jarosik.

     

     

    God only knows how much the club was paying out in wages.

     

     

    It simply couldn’t be sustained.

     

     

    Bankruptcy was the only road had this been allowed to continue.

    “It isn’t asking a great deal for a ‘keep calm and carry on ‘ type statement to be released.”

     

    ——

     

    “He is well overdue with his next statement. When it comes, it has to be action, not words.”

     

    ——

     

    “He’s shot the bolt and the horse has long since bolted”

     

    ——

     

    ” one would assume that he is involved in a game of corporate chess.”

     

    ——

     

    “business men are always 6 steps ahead and for what we see as in the public is only the tip of the iceberg.

     

    so hopefully albeit we no heard nothing there are ppl working away hard to protect our institution.”

  17. I see billy bhoy05 is still attempting to dehumanise anyone who would vote no. He is looking forward to ethnic cleansing in an independent Scotland and of course anyone who votes no is just like the OO and the BNP.

     

     

     

    Your bullying brand of nationalism is failing Billy. I notice you have gone very quiet on the polls……I wonder why…..

    Typical deflection from your good self.whataboutery in extremis,I would not defend the murder of anyone, irrespective of Race, Creed,or Colour.you insult my humanity.

    I mailed you again but never received an answer,Those photographs you sent me were fantastic,using them on my computer.

  23. I honestly cannot understand why Celtic employed Deila before Keane, I really can’t. But then Celtic is not about me and my understanding it’s about our collective joys.

     

     

    Ronny, a wee word of advice, when the Scottish Media are ripping into you, they are ripping into us too. You stand… we stand.

     

     

    Good luck, from my heart good luck.

     

     

    Does anybody mind if I have one more boot in the baws of TSD? Just one for the road.

    And did that not happen as a response to a Scottish Labour MP with a constituency in England introducing the 40% rule for the 1979 devolution.

     

     

    Do not hate the English: in fact as race of people they are very decent indeed.

     

     

    But detest Tories and Labour alike as you couldn’t separate their actions/policies with a fag paper.

     

     

    Ps:

     

     

    Hearing the self same scare stories now as we did then. Off course none came true
