Have you ever seen a ‘Rangers’ director pushed by a journalist on a question he dodged before yesterday? It’s never happened. STV’s Peter Smith did something no journalist in the history of Scottish football has done before, pressed a question when the man in charge at Ibrox dodged the initial inquiry. Smith dismissed the deserved praise that came his way last night by suggesting it’s what a journalist does. True, but refreshing nonetheless.
I was reminded last night that Green’s examination by the old media has come earlier in his journey to the bottom that Craig Whyte’s did last season. Whyte was being backed by some, let’s call them enablers, right up until the week before Rangers went into administration. Unfortunately for Green some in the media, and perhaps a few in the support, were embarrassed by their backing of Whyte last year and will not repeat the mistake.
Apart from the aforementioned Green, I have only ever known one person to use the word “darkie” (I missed 1970s ‘comedians’). He was born in the first years of the 20th century, too young for the first war and too old to be conscripted for the second. Well into his 90s, I heard him say “there are a lot of darkies on TV these days”. He was reprimanded and immediately realised what he had done. An apology and a period of over-compensation followed.
It falls to SFA president Campbell Ogilvie to ensure that such language has no place in Scottish football. Disciplinary proceedings should be issued, unless, of course, the SFA view the matter in a different light. Any future appearance of a Charles Green image on a banner or effigy at Celtic Park, or use of the words ‘Our New Hero’ to describe him, should not be regarded as an endorsement of his views, only his work in football.
Celtic minstrels will write songs about him, I have heard the words “man-love” being used this week.
Will Newco stay active long enough for Craig Whyte’s security over Ibrox, crystallised by yesterday’s ruling that he owes Ticketus circa £17m and therefore had a piece of the action at Rangers after all, to have an effect? There are so many icebergs around Newco probably not.
It was interesting to hear Manchester United’s endorsement of Newco as a potential English Premier League club being debated on STV. Now out of Europe, Manchester United were asked if they would play a fundraiser at Ibrox later this month. I hope Green’s comments on the interview don’t spoil relations.
I was pleased to hear we were drawn at home for the next game but for pity’s sake, sending Motherwell to Tannadice the day before defeats the point. This is a complete failure.
Add this to the fact that Fraser Forster’s biggest fan is making his First Holy Communion when we are at home to St Johnstone on 11 May and you get a taste of the frustration in our house last night.
He realises the importance of his First Communion but thought we could cancel the party afterwards and have an alternative celebration at Celtic Park. We’ll distract him on the day…..
As many of you are already aware, the Celtic Trust have arranged a process whereby, if you live in Scotland, you can easily contact your MSP to back the FAC call for an inquiry into policing at the Gallowgate last month. You can find the information and template here, go do it.

Ticketus,as far as I kno, are not a charitable institution.

Maybe they will play in Newcastle, they need a big stadium to play in for all their loyal fans to show up at.
Anyone up for a couple of beers tomorrow afternoon?
Did Challs set a new world record for rapid eye movement? ha
What about a big screen display a week on Sunday,
A montage of images,
Baron Munchausan, Bill ( I did not have sex with that woman )Clinton, Richard ( I am not a crook) Nixon, Several Tory MPs, Aitken, Archer, the points penalty guy, Chuckles, Pinnochio….
Harmless fun.

The Iranians similar with the Brit embassy in Tehran, naming the main access route Bobby Sands Avenue, not to be outdone the Brits started using the side entrance as the postal address…. no respect for their own democratically elected members of parliament.
There’s just got to be a Mr Gold involved in this somewhere. Please make it so.

Ps did you see him looking to his right in a desperate plea for help.
He is on the run question is WHO is behind the attack dogs,
Journalists doing their job NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
in the ole days on here I used to complain about the inordinate length of time spent discussing the [then theoretical ] demise of the Horribles.
How wrong I was- the actual demise has turned out to be far, far more entertaining.
And the best thing is we are only at the end of side 1.

Does St James’ park hold 500,000,000 ???
I’m no expert but I do believe that tonight’s ‘friendly’ between the Govan hillbillies and their inbred cousins from Linfield will set a ‘new world record’ for scrofulous scrofularity.
That Dallas Cowboy e-mail appeared yet confirming the commercial partnership?
It was October last year that this fantasy was first aired at a meeting with zombies based in Toronto.
I wonder why it has taken them 5 months to e-mail…

EPL managers desperate from them to go t’south…
My best guess (copyright H. Keevins) is that CW smelled a rat halfway through his tenure. Maybe even from day one that he was going to be the fall guy so taped everyone. D&P, Chuckles etc. The news now that he faces a bill of £17m makes me think he might have Sir Minty on tape (oh please let that be the case) and he’s going to nail him as well. Maybe telling Craigy boy where to get funds for a takeover. Here’s hoping.

It was used to pay off a debt to Lloyds TSB to allow the bank to do walking away. Remember that in the autumn leading up to Craigy’s coup, Walter Smith let slip on Radio Scotland that the bank was running the club. Peter Smith wasn’t around then, so no one questioned it, sort of as though Walter had said he likes strawberry jam best on his scones.
Good job they managed to secure some champions’ league cash when the bank were beginning to get desperate. All without any cheating or collusion whatsoever.

Back in 1986 I heard a Glasgow Councillor talk about the naming of Nelson Mandela Place.
His analysis of the apartheid regime came in words that I will never forget: “It’s a pure sin what that South African government are doing to they poor d*****s.”
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I remember,the South African Consulate was housed there at the time.
Whoever came up with that idea was a genius,IMO!
…………..
I’m pretty sure that was em Michael Kelly
Chucky lie
He promised he had big hands but on viewing the size of his hands in the paper, they appeared to be average sized for a male of his age.
Maybe I’m being slow here but how does “sending Motherwell to Tannadice the day before defeat the point.”?
They win we can still win the league on the Sunday, if they don’t then the Sunday will be a title celebration from start to finish.
Or am I missing something?
