It was a fantastic result from Celtic Park last night for Scotland’s poor who are dependent on food aid. Fans arrived in droves before kick off with bags full of provisions to restock food banks across the region.
I can sympathise with the SPFL to an extent. Without a sponsor, they are even more dependent on satisfying television, and satisfying television often involves making unpopular decisions, but the mess they’ve made of scheduling the final Championship fixtures of the season is deeply embarrassing for our game.
Our game is looking more and more like it’s being run like a Banana Republic. Generalissimo Doncaster has a case to answer.
I’m pretty sure no one at Celtic considered Leigh Griffiths as their number one striker when he signed a year ago. That he has become so, is as much a result of his forward competition failing to deliver as much as his own talents, but there’s no denying Leigh’s ability. He’s turned into a vibrant, productive striker who scores all types of goals.

The bottom line is that the SPFL have been completely exposed as incompetent, and possibly corrupt. Surely Doncaster cannot remain in post after this.
The problem is that his place will be taken by some other dummy.

Feck me, clearly the MBA course at the University of East Anglia, does not teach self-awareness :mrgreen:
“Doncaster’s own self belief in that he is doing a great job in the corridors of power, extends to boasting about it to the University of East Anglia where he obtained an MBA.
*I worked for a punter with an MBA, could talk for Canada this effer. Was promoted and hudnae a clue what the job was about. He was restructured out the door.
i treated myself to a late birthday present , been looking for this for years and finally found one.

Hampden not Considered (for the CWC semi with Liverpool).

Celtic & scorers
Simpson, Craig, Gemmell, Brogan, McNeill, Clark, Johnstone (2), McBride (2), Chalmers (1), Lennox (1) , Auld (1).
no away strip, both in hoops with white shorts
Ready for a battering!
I am not a fan of Guidetti.
But ( I was taught that you should never start a sentence with “and” , “but” or “so” – shows my age) I thought he had a really good second half last night.
Was that a kickin’ he took at half time or was it the 4-4-2 change?
Has Ronny realised that to beat these 11 man defences that he has come up against that he needs to change things? I would go 4-4-2.
Will it be 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 against ICT on Sunday?
I think Ronny will do what is needed. Ronny is much better than Neil Lennon at working out what changes need to be made.

At March 23rd 1966 –
A headline statement in the view –
INCENTIVE –
The league title is celtics for the winning if they dont slip sensationally, With 7 fixtures to go the two leading clubs are
Celtic P27, W21, D2, L4, F91 A29 P44.
Gers P27, W18, D5, L4, F74, A26 P41
theres confidence for you. 3 point ahead , during 2 for a win, with 7 games to go.
if it was us now we would be frettin bad.
Rankers breaking news (dual interests thingy):
“The Club has today accepted a £5500 fine for breaches of the SFA’s Disciplinary Rules 1 and 19.
They relate to historic events around the time the MASH credit facility was put in place.
… and …
That’s all folks!”
Meanwhile, on another planet, Livigston have paid their £5000, but they were also given until 10th April for Neil Rankine to dispose of his share of Livingston and East Fife (which he denies having, in the first place).
However… it seems that the SFA has not instructed Big Mike to dispose of any shareholding in Rankers, or Newcastle either for that matter.
vale bhoy,
Me too.
I’ll bring the miniature whiskey to thomthethim :-)

Borussia Dortmund 2 – Liverpool 1.I was pleased – ameliorated the pain of the wrongly ruled offside goal at Annfield.
WINNING CAPTAINS
Cheers,bud!
SOT,
I know, so they must have changed the decision after. a big furore around it anyways.
what was the attendance at that game
GENE
Good luck for tomorrow’s match,bud. Three points,please.
From yer Swindon pal…

Memory says big attendance .Lots of Liverpool Fans
St Barbara’s ? Logic says – a Saint associated with mining – school in an area associsted with mining
Huns £5,500 fine but not told to get rid of shares and more importantly no signing ban. Why? I hate the bigots at SFA and celtic board who have helped this. We should be suing SFA for lost titles and money

BC Scotland talking about fixture chaos.. not one has asked WHY they changed it.. Why change tit to help huns? its as if everyone knows but we just have to accept it as they are THE PEOPLE
Sad, sad news for the Buckley family. Karen was only 24 years of age and just started a new phase of her life in Glasgow. Well done to the Scottish authorities for recovering her body so quickly. Thoughts for her family (her brother had to return from Australia) and all her friends.

Good evening all.
Fabulous result both on and off the park last night. Totally devastated with the discovery of that wee lassie’s body from Ireland. I hope the court hit him with the max sentence, if found guilty, possible. Should ever be allowed to mix with normal human beings again.
Sleep well and RIP Karen Buckley. So sad.

does Norman McLeod post on here nowadays about kick off times ?
The View Letters page –
Sir,
I would be very much in favour of an eight o clock start for midweek games. The way I get to the parkhead is on a no 58 bus and this service is very crowded on big match night and I have to wait half an hour for a bus that is not allready full. Consequently I dont reach Celtic park till 7,25 and then have problems getting in.
Yours, Norman McLeod, Hyndland , Glasgow (age 14).
———–
wee bandit was lucky he had bus fare, surely he could have walked for half hour and caught a different bus route.

The ECWC Final 1966 had a low attendance chiefly because there was torrential rain all day. Can’t remember exactly but I don’t believe there was much more than 30,000 in attendance that night.

Should have been done when he never appealed LNS decision if not before , that he is still in situ speaks volumes about the clubs that employ him.
I have just been told that Neil Doncaster is absolutely livid with Stewart Regan for “stabbing him in the back”.
This could get interesting.
Tom mac
attendance given as just over 41,600.
tune in later for the 1966 quiz for a guinea.
Took a wee detour today to go into St Peters Partick to lightly a wee candle for the soul of Karen Buckley
Nice and quiet and good to have a bit if time in peace in a lovely church
Might be the only way to be rid of the 2 of them Tom McL, stabbing each other sounds a start.

Evening all,
A couple of observations from this fixture nonsense, has it now provided the vehicle for reconstruction on the basis of “civil” war that will be engineered? Secondly its a hell of a distraction for the SFA’s utter incompetence on all things Sevco ?
