Ethics of exposing a vulnerable man, Pythonesque statement

337

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.

    I heard an interesting story on Sunday from a guy who sells stuff. Pena and Morelos are cocaine addicts who are boosting the Clydebank economy with their habit.

     

    John James said something similar.

     

    Why do the SFA not conduct drug testing?

    I would imagine that those who were on the Home Cup Ticket Scheme and went to the 3 home games will be eligible, maybe with those who were at the semi-final taking priority. I’m not sure what the allocation will be – possible just over 25,000, maybe as high as 30,000 (Motherwell want around 17,000 as far as I know) but with over 22,000 on the HCTS I would doubt there will be any for General Sale once the Club sponsors and players etc. get their share.

     

     

    This is just my guess though.

  5. DD, the stories about Pena were rife regarding coke and alcohol. I have heard similar stories about Morelos about coke. Doesn’t surprise me.

     

     

    However, cocaine is removed from the body very quickly – usually within 2 to 4 days so it’s more difficult to test for. They would need to be a different type of stupid to be taking it too close to a game.

     

     

    having said that, they are huns so stupidity is usually a pre-requisite!

    I I gather from the article that someone is supposed to be laughing at someone else … but I’m still trying to figure out who should be laughing at who…

     

     

    Fans of a Board that cheats to win 10 titles and steals 40 million quid and still goes under…

     

     

    or

     

     

    Fans of a Board that allows the other Board to steal the money and titles, and then does little or nothing about it…

     

     

    seems to me that both sets of fans have been shafted….

  9. DAVID66 hi pal yes as soon as joan transfers it from her laptop,to,my my pc, we will be up and running, hope you and cheeko are well, just noticed that lawyer chappie from canada has been on ,hope seamus is okay but not bothered about mike.lol.

  10. mike in toronto on

    BP … not in court today, so try to check in during lunch time. Seamus is a monster… but I love the little guy.

  11. talking about winning the league, remember a game think it was 1968 we had to beat dunfermline at east end park, remember walking toward the ground cause we had to park bloomin miles away, and there was fans on the floodlight pylons and on the roof of the stand, thank god there was no accidents, but scary stuff.hh.

  12. !!Bada Bing!! on

    That wee runt McCann gets his ban reduced to 1 game, the liar said he didn’t lift his hands, all plain to see on video, should have had it increased for lying.Lenny is the only guy in this country who gets a hard time from the beaks.

  13. MAHE THE MADMAN, thats a good keepsake, yes will post some pics later hope you are well. hh.

  14. So Elbows and Laffatme support Kenny Misser and the Grass, surprise surprise.

    Pog, all well here in Dundee. Just having lunch with B, following Children’s Panel Hearing this morning. Trust all well with you and yours. H H

     

    —————————————————————-

     

    Friesdorfer,

     

    All good thanks. Just arrived in Forres about an hour ago – weather almost tropical ? ? ??

     

    Unfortunately I missed a message from CRC to watch the game on Saturday with Lionsroar and Thunder Road or I would have stayed in Glasgow until Monday. I’m sure they’re relieved mind you ??

  16. Friesdorfer, believe you were in frankie and bennys cafe today, would you recommend it.lol.

  17. How many stolen trophies has the Compliance Officer stripped the day then ?

     

    Ach, who cares as long as we win the waan horse race!

     

    Do what Simon said, and put yer hands in the air!

     

    Clap, clap, throw me a fish!

     

    “A Club Like No Other”, folk should wary of, the context issues attached to that, only saying.

     

    Dear, dear.

     

    ……..oot.

  18. I see Sion from Switzerland have been booted out of Europe for 2 years and fined over a license issue. Wonder when we will hear from the CO about his Sevco license investigation.

     

     

    Probably never

     

     

    D. :)

  19. KEVJUNGLE, kev come on be happy my fenian buddy, we are the top team now, they are at the back of the bus, hope you and weebawbabbity are well.hh.

  20. BP no I will be down the local with mates, and either celebrating a win or a draw.???

     

     

    D. :))))

  21. Having a go at the board is fair game but your disdain for Celtic supporters says everything about you

  22. BP I know he won’t as he is a winner. But a win, we win the league. A draw we move on to next game ? and Lenny has a point to try and get second place.

     

    Oh wait who do we play next oh it’s awra.

     

    Who is awra I hear you ask

     

     

    Awra the Rangers are shite

     

    Awra the Rangers are shite

     

     

    D. :)

  23. DAVID66, love that would have added f—–g shite but heyho, you gotta show me how to get them smiley faces on here.lol.

    1969 . @ the time of a coin toss v Benfica

     

     

    *I had just come back fae here and had a work colleague who was at that game, Benfica that night played with typical cynicism that I to this day reckon is a Portuguese trait and have never like their club or national sides since then.

     

     

    John Fallon was our hero that night and just as the ref blew and we thought he had did enough they put the ball in the net, no one knew if it was a goal or not as the toss of the coin which was thenborm for a tied game was usually carried out in the centre of the park.

     

     

    The ref took both sides off and took both captains intae his dressing room, where big Billy called it heads twice, first time was tae determine who got tae make the call !!!, he did it again and we were through. Allegedly Paul Wilson who was one the the young lhads with the travelling party was outside the refs room and so was the one that ran tae our dressing room tae inform the team.

     

     

    Now there was no social media then so my mate said they had heard on the bus heading for the airport that Benfica had won it and was a bit surprised at how down the Portuguese were, he assumed they were Sporting fans.

     

     

    It wasn’t until he arrived at Abbotsinch Airport they found out we were through, the same for us the next morning when getting ready for work and it came on the news as the lines from Lisbon to Glasgow the night before had problems, either that or it was another 7-1 cameras fiasco.
