You know what I think, defeats from rivals only do limited damage, the toxic poison comes from within. Internecine strife, Bear on Bear action, can rip Newco apart.
I don’t know what Lee Wallace and our old pal Kenny Miller said to Graeme Murty on Sunday, but if it was along the lines of ‘You are out of your depth, incapable of operating at this level and exposed for what you are’, they would be correct. That doesn’t make them right, though.
Speaking truth to the boss sounds like a good idea but commonly all it does is isolate you, weaken the boss and make everyone’s job more difficult. Kenny Miller reached the Champions League knock out stages under Gordon Strachan, he knows what a good manager looks like. Along with the rest of the world, he knows Murty is vulnerable and out of his depth, but it is not ethically, or tactically, a good thing to expose his vulnerability.
Whatever Miller and Wallace said was almost certainly right, but ethically it is up there with the solicitor-cum-tax advisor-cum-porn star-cum-convict Paul Baxendale Walker, who was Sir David Murray’s chief architect at Oldco and who faced a bankruptcy court hearing this week.
What an absolute shower.
Loved the statements yesterday. ‘We’re so upset we are going to be quiet’, is Pythonesque. It sits alongside ‘I fart in your general direction’ as an absurd masterpiece.
Just brilliant that another fan group caught the zeitgeist by telling fans “Millions have been ploughed into the club by the current board”. So let’s not be hastily apportioning blame to Dave and Co. I hope neither group realise how much fun they give.

Off oot – I’m On My Way –

A gem from 1960 . Around the time of a 5-1 loss at home to the Deadly Bears . Life went on !
*Oh dear I remember this so well, I had just started in 1st year at High School meeting new classmates some of whom would become good friends, and stand in the Celtic end with, from Dumbarton, Clydebank and Helensburgh.
We had already played them 3 times, winning pretty comfortably 4-2 at Parkheid in the GC and 3-2 in govan in the LC, the scoreline flattered them, in the game where doug baillie was said to have made the Bear.
After losing 3 goals in the first half the huns resorted tae their usual bully boys tactics with the thug shearer, bette davis, the kilbarchan dive bomber wilson and even the mild mannered hill o’ beath bevy merchant being warned in the 2nd half but to no avail.
The third game at Parkheid we lost 1-2, again deidco continuing with their 2nd half hades tactics, which cost us a place in the knockout stages of the LC but of the truth be told a similar home loss tae the harry wraggs on the Wednesday night where our incompetence in front of goal cost us the game.
So as we headed intae the game there was no real fear, we were the better side at that stage of the season. No one saw this coming as we had completely dominated a very good Hi Hi side 3 days earlier in a rubber match for us but in typical Celtic fashion a Thirds victory would have saw them through tae next round of the LC instead of the huns, sometimes we cannae help ourselves. The bassas ended up winning the damn thing tae.
This was a very young Celtic side and we competed well for the first hour or so and then the roof fell in, don’t forget this was only 3 years after “Hampden in the Sun”, we only had 1 player our captain Bertie Peacock in the side that day while they had 4 survivors of a horrific day at the national stadium for them, so there was a huge concern in the support that their revenge was about to occur, sweeter tae as this game was at Parkheid.
We were already 6 up at hampden by the time they scored their 3rd in this game though, 2 late goals made it look a lot easier, incidentally our very very late consolation goal was scored by our never say die Garngad born Lisbon hero who had already hit the post and crossbar in a very even first half. This also would be John Kurila’s last game for the hoops; he only played as big Billy had been injured in that roughhouse second half 3 weeks earlier.

Morning all from stateside,,where the bears and mountain lions are out and about locally.
loads of cctv shots of them roaming. And a woman hit a bear not far away and it came through the windscreen and killed her and her wee one . Terrible, and another reason I like to be sitting up a bit higher in an suv.
Vfr as youre around,
it said on yesterdays article that it says a club like no other on the season ticket books.
Is that true and do you know how long its been going on?
I see the first team won another three points. Great.
And Kenny Misser might have finished his playing days. Never actually minded the wee whippet and he did well enough out of the game but he was a one trick pony and really should have altered his game a long time ago. Seems to have a bit of an ego also.
I remember Michael Owen being in a similar position and it never really worked out for him but injuries were to blame as much as tactical naivety.
Just look at Cr7 to see how to adjust game to make up for diminishing burst of pace.

Joey Barton has been appointed the Head Coach of Fleetwood Town.

Disnae say that on mine – though mine is for the North Curve and says “Rail Seating Section” so maybe someone with a standard ticket may be able to tell you if it’s on theirs.

Just watched the video of us with Ms Cadette.
Can see BRTH, Kolncelt, Morrissey23, Maggie McGill, Scaniel and daughter, you and me. Who were the others singing the praises of Jorge Cadette to his sister?
One of the best Celtic trips abroad ever, and there was nae match.
This is how it feels to be Celtic!

Vfr,
i suspected that after yesterdays article.
DD,, any idea how long its been on the season books ?
Having yet to see any type of convincing argument why that collection of words is anywhere near the primary branch perhaps i should ask the people that put it there in the first place.
Ill post my letter when written.
Hail Hail
Good after/evening good ghuys
I have no leanings to Jorg Cadete other than the short time he spent at paradise.
He was a fantastic goal scorer who could read the game and make great runs, IMO he could have been idolised if he would have stayed longer, but he moved on, his parogative.
But if he is looking for work and only if we have role for him then surely we should help us by helping him. I think, if he could pass on to the younger bhoys about making those fantastic runs and cool finishing then we will be the winners.
Should not matter that he is bankrupt in Portugal..

Posted this last night but worth a repost for Hummell’s mission statement.

Sorry pal. I suffer from Technophobia.
There’s only one Jorge Cadette,
He puts the ball in the netty,
He’s Portuguese, and he scores with ease,
Walking in Cadette wonderland.
I see the Banter years has made it onto one of their blogs, I can just imagine ” wee Billy the Hun” sitting reading Hun Media wi his dinner, spitting a mouthful of blue burger awe over his manky, frosty jack laden living room.
Lovin it

Joey Barton will take over as head coach of Fleetwood Town on 2 June, when his suspension for breaking Football Association betting rules expires.
What could possibly go wrong?
Reminded of the Len Shackleton autobiography. It became famous for a chapter headed The Average Director’s Knowledge Of Football and consisted of a blank page.

For the last two seasons cards, at least.
Re More than a club,,
getting pinged off to all emails i can find for employees of the primary branch.
Lets see what they say about their statement eh.
To whom it may concern,
I recently discovered that the phrase “ More than a Club “ is emblazoned upon the season ticket books.
This particular phrase sits somewhat uneasy with me.
I would be most happy if you or one of your colleagues could answer the following questions in regards to that particular statement .
Where did it come from and when ?
Who chose that phrase as our logo and why ?
That phrase tells us whats were not ( a club ) but doesn’t tell us what we are ? What are we ?
Do you anticipate the phrase being used indefinitely with regards to the club ?
How do you justify this phrase’s use ie in what way are you more than a club ?
Would you say this phrase is more marketing gimmick or fact ?
Was there a gauging of support for this phrase within the support before its sustained use ? If not why not ?
Under what circumstances would the club consider changing its logo ?
Would such a change entail public consulations ? If not why not ?
I hope this mail finds you in good health and i would point out that I am merely a concerned member of the Celtic family hoping for a little clarity on this trivial matter.
Yours sincerely,
MTM
I’m not a great fan of John James, but there were a couple of snippets from the last few days that I did find noteworthy.
The first explains that SPFL wanted the game against Sevco on the 21st but Police Scotland didn’t – 2 Orange marches that day. I checked and one is 1 in Yoker starting at 10:30 and another in Tollcross at 4:30. Powder kegs before and after the game. Maybe they should just have banned the marches!
The second interesting piece was that The Grass allegedly threw the tactics board at Murty. I’m surprised that Murty or Wallace know what a tactics board is. Then again, maybe it was just a wee blackboard for Andy Halliday to draw on when the grown-ups were talking.

That article you wrote in 2016 asks are we more than a club and now we find ourselves with a club like no other being bandied around and on the season books.
Does this suggest more than a club has been parked in preference for a club like no other ?
I must admit a club like no other sits easier with me than more than a club . Still wouldnt have chose it though.

I wish people, who should know better, stop using the phrase “title decider”.
It is not a decider. The destination of the title has been virtually decided weeks ago.
It is a potential “title clincher”.
……………………
I know exactly what you’re talking about. I get really annoyed when they talk about ‘closing the gap’. When they mean narrowing the gap. When the gap is closed, there is no gap.
Hi folks
i’m a season ticket holder but don’t subscribe to the away game scheme……..what are my chances of a cup final ticket, when are they due out?.
cheers

That was fast
Well done guys ?
