There is a degree of public interest in reading about, or listening to, spivs exploit the stupidity of some football fans to bring a club to its knees, but the sight of a tired and emotional looking Malcolm Murray stumbling away from an event is neither entertaining nor of interest to anyone with a sense of humanity.
Have you ever seen a drunk football player or official? I have. It has never been news before nor should it be now. If the man has an actual problem the first response from his club and the wider game must be to offer support for one of our national illnesses.
The fan with a phone camera probably knows no better, but passing-round a recording of when a Frankie Howerd impersonator confronted Murray about his alleged problem is truly awful.
The audio was almost certainly not uploaded onto the internet by ‘Howerd’ but it was his decision to make and distribute the recording. I hope he informed Murray the call was being recorded.
10 years ago today five of us filled a car and drove to Bristol Airport, the nearest available departure point for Scot’s leaving for the Spain; more-local airports were booked out within minutes of the event ahead being confirmed. Bristol is a small airport but the place was full of other Celtic fans who had travelled south for the same purpose. Every departure point in the land was filled by green and white.
A remarkable exodus was underway, it was a privilege to be part of it.
Great news, Willie Wallace has made the long trip from Aus and is now in the UK. Looking forward to catching up with him next week.
I see contributing to Willie’s autobiography has had a dramatic effect on Rod Stewart’s career! He’s just reached No. 1 in the album chart for the first time in decades. Hail, hail, Rod.
You can pre-order the autobiography in Willie’s own words, with Rod’s contribution, Brogan Rogan’s best writing yet, and Archie MacPherson’s fantastic scene setting (“the best team I’ve ever seen”) with the link below. Willie will be signing all copies ordered now just as soon as the presses roll.
Nostalgia overload. Need to hold it together for tomorrow.

Davie was the one I knew.As I said a nice bloke, just had a different allegiance from me, and he was a big lump of a guy.
I’m no bumming him up anymore, nice guy though. His ma was a lovely balanced woman.
Did you ever meet his sister?
These copoers really need to be taken to task over their behaviour.
This must be costing the tax payer a fortune with legal fees etc…

Ahh. With the children, Maison Blanche & the Charthouse become pricey except if it’s special occasion. (Victoria & Jorge are owners of the Maison Blanche)
Drydock on GOM drive is good and not so pricey.
St Armands has shops, ice cream parlours, restaurants, bars etc. Still a nice place though.

I know of a teacher in a Lanarkshire secondary who was given the same response. He went anyway and returned to a standing ovation from his colleagues in the staff room. Discipline that!!!!! :-)

I think Jabba the Hun isn’t happy because it’s now officially engraved on his monolith of journalistic achievements forever.
Even a stupid Hun like him know’s it. James Traynor (Jabba the Hun) = Failed Bent Journalist.
Or am I being too harsh? ;)
A good one, I hope everyone enjoys it………

A former HT that I know, who posts on here and we’ll see if he owns up, applied for leave to go to Seville. “How about naw!” He was told by the high Heidyin at HQ.
As it happened he was due for a review meeting on the day and when the high Heidyin turned up at the school he found the HT sitting with a sombrero on and holding a beach ball.
Ye can take the boy out of Coatbridge but………………
Seville, so many great memory’s.
Met the big tall guy from still game ( Greg? ) at Madrid train station heading towards the game.
Stayed in occidental hotel in Seville next to main train station, George McCluskey and Patrick Kielty also stayed there, brill atmosphere, can’t believe 10 years ago though.
Biding memory was the heat at kick off time, couldn’t believe that people could play football in that, sweat was pouring off us just sitting in the stadium.
Also coming back home via Madrid and sitting in plaza major on the evening after the game and little pockets of Celtic fans in all of the open air restaurants. The violinist playing along with the songs coming from all areas of the square felt like a piece of heaven on earth with all the smiling Tims and locals enjoying the great atmosphere. And that was after we lost !!! :))
Can’t buy that stuff.
Hail! Hail!

I think that Chuck would have renamed the place had he owned the place.
That would be my thinking on why it’s no been done.
!!bada bing!!
I had the same affliction eleven years ago.it was agony, dreaded going to do a Jimmy riddle…broken bottles come to mind.
As you said earlier…there’s people posting that have a bigger battle..all the best and hope it clears up soon.HH
Few words from me on Aleksandar Tonev, Bulgarian footballer who allegedly signed for Celtic.
Gavin Berry from Daily Record allegedly spoke with the player one month ago.
The player allegedly told Mr. Berry:
“It’s an honour to know that Celtic are interested in me.”
“They have a big history – and their performance in Europe this year has shown they are ready to create some new history.”
“Last summer there were Italian teams interested……”
Aleksandar Tonev told Polish and Bulgarian press: “I could not say that to the Scottish press. I do not speak English. I did not speak with anybody from there, for sure”
I said once or twice that he is not bad winger but not Celtic Champions League team class. Not long time ago Tonev was the guy who usewd to come from the bench. He was called Sleepy Hollow in Poznan. It’s true that his talent exploded this round but I’m still not convinced that he is good target for Celtic scouts, maybe yes, maybe no. Tonev gives signs that he is insubordinate guy.
Is transfer possible?
Yes, it is possible. Lech Poznan President told Polish press one month back: “We are going to keep passive position on the news about interests in Tonev. We don’t need to sell the player but if interesting offer comes, we are ready to consider it.”

Ha Ha…ive probably been in your company years ago.
Is anyone going to the kerrydale on sunday?
Its oming near CQN book club time but as an early entry I woudl recommend Glory in Gothenburg by Richard Gordon… Really good read for a non Celtic book.
“Exploiting a Vulnearable Man”.
Apologies if mentioned before.
The most disturbing and cruel part of those images posted online re MM, was the betrayal by the person who was apparently looking after the wretched Malcolm Murray.
I am referring to the clip where he led Murray into an empty function room.
This was perhaps the same room where they had previously been entertained.
Thre appeared to be only one other person in that room and he/she was the person behind the camera.
Malcolm’s Good Samaritan deliberately guided him across the floor, until his face was stuck up against the camera.
Why?
It was a complete set up and subsequent events enforce that.
Did I call his minder a Good Samaritan ?
I should have said Judas…although he probably missed out the kiss.

Good point ……. Once it is confirmed that it belongs to the creditors, they can call it ‘Creditors Direct’ …he he
Nothing like a bit Hun on Hun action.
Seems like the Sevconians are rounding on their cousins , demanding penalties and screaming injustice.
I’m all for justice…..consign the both of them to hell!
Orange walks this year could be a bit problematic.
Hahahahaha

Oh they know alright, they scour the internet for information from bampottery, and would remove all reference, they don’t like, if they could.
Just like they’ve removed the ‘L’ word like it never happened.
Looking forward to that anniversary CSC
Sitting outside a cafe in Seville and we had about 30 verses of the “watching the bill” song then someone comes out with
“we’ll be eating alfresco
When you’re working at tesco…”

I reckon they are trying to disgrace him, it will backfire imo, he after all instigated this inquiry, with him out of the way, they can stop it in it’s tracks.
Whatever, happens, they will find a way to keep them alive.
A scam from the onset.
Murray was appointed by Ahmad and Green. At the time his appointment was trumpeted as a serious big hitting city type coming on board.
He was there to ensure proper corporate governance.
Who benefits from this seedy character assassination?
Indeed, perhaps this was foreseen from the very beginning?
I know a couple of Lanarkshire teachers who went off on the sick to go to Seville after a quiet word got back to them that they would never be allowed time off – nobody was in any doubt within their school where they had been – no after effects – all worked out well
Thanks TET, does that organic herbtrading company actually sell essiac ready mixed?
