Fifa, Keane, Davie Hay

755

And, they, gave us………. Davie Hay.  Enormous thanks to Davie Hay for coming onto the blog this morning.  It was great to read his responses on playing for and managing Celtic.  If you missed him, catch up from 09:44 here, you’ll enjoy it.

At the risk of commenting on Roy Keane when few of us know much about what happened last night….  I remain pleased we didn’t appoint him manager in the summer.  Very pleased.

Really disappointed at the outcome of the Fifa investigation into the awarding of the Fifa World Cups for 2018 1nd 2022, although, as I type that sentence, the reasons perhaps become clear.  As with all of these things, I’m specifically thinking about the Lord Nimmo Smith SPL inquiry here, football governing bodies ask the questions they want answered.  It’s not the independence of the investigator which is important, it’s who sets the scope of investigation.

You can get copies of Caesar & the Assassin, Billy McNeill and Davie Hay’s accounts of managing Celtic from Jock Stein’s departure until the appointment of Liam Brady, here.

    now, if someone could identify anyone in the picture, or match a story to that bus, was it a csc, or a “on the busses” holiday exursion.

     

     

    its a brilliant picture,

     

     

    you can almost feel the heat, and hear the song

    My thoughts too, – Celtic should run a campaign to find the fans or relatives, in these shots.

  5. Parheadcumsalford. Yes unconcious bias is the way if it.

     

     

    Indeed scotland is spending lots of time and effort into proving that there is no issue to get it right up us Fenians.

    This guy is Mark Dingwall who runs the odious follow follow website. For some reason he is allowed to speak on national television from time to time to impart his “wisdom” on all things deadco. This was his succinct opinion on the Burton’s T-Shirt. I’ll be sending this to bbc and stv:

    “Appeal the decision as it has been based on information given to them”

    “Disgusting.Not surprising,it was to be expected .

     

    REMEMBER WE ARE WATCHING NOW!!!!

     

    GO ON TRY IT AGAIN ,PLEASE PLEASE TRY IT AGAIN.

     

    FAT PETE ,REID ,GCC ,GO ON I DARE YOU.”

     

    ——

     

    “A clearly biased corrupt organization who saw fit to avoid all the evidence that was gathered basically took the accused word for it and broadcasted a one sided view from beginning to the end….. Corrupt biased lying backstabbing b*st*rds”

    “Would freedom of information not allow the file to be explained”

    “That outcome was never in doubt the [Tims] have got the ear of many in high places .they have boxed clever while we were to busy wandering the streets banging our drums and telling everyone how we were the people .maybe we will one day waken up and smell the coffee,we are light years behind that shower”

    “FIFA , Celtic and GCC all the same = Corrupt to the core”

    “what ever happened to the Scotland where I used to live Now it,s a bloody rhat infested fenian state”

    Meantime, one FFer still has some mushrooms left:

     

     

    “I reckon that we are a coiled financial spring of a club and with the right release of that pressure there would be a huge perhaps even engulfing commercial response that could enrich any true soul interested in saving the club for the right and not the wrong reasons.”

    Cheers for the attempt to get the Great Davie Hay to wish me a hoopy birthday, I think he was just away as you posted.

     

     

    I didn’t even get my earlier question answered :-(

     

     

    (I’ll be seeing you later WC!)

    A propos of nothing,a politician recently elected to Congress in the US.

     

     

    Former Marine captain,but his résumé seemed to gloss over that period.

     

     

    Turns out he won TWO medals for Bravery Under Fire. Didn’t even tell his parents.
