I never thought these words would pass my keyboard, but I feel sorry for Billy Davies. I hope he can get a wee bit of professional help as he clearly needs it. He doesn’t realise it though, that will be the big issue
I never read his interview with Spieirs in the Times but did see Graham tweet about his experience interview Davies. He described it as ‘exhausting ‘ I think. He was being polite I would wager.
I’ve just read a synopsis of the piece in the Scotsman. Wow.
He also gave a mid boggling interview to Radio Scotland last year, to kenny McIntyre and Richard Wilson, who obviously had decided they would approach their hero from a kneeling position. After it was played out on air, Tom English said something like ‘I wonder if he knows how he comes across’. It was really bad stuff, aided by McIntyre and Wilson, who parked any objectivity when they sat down to talk.

Hello lads
Enjoyed my first day in Dublin today. Must have walked 20 miles. What a lovely city!
Looking forward to meeting some of the Dublin guys at the Bad Ass Cafe for the game on Tuesday, And as many of the Glasgow crowd as I can manage this weekend.

MIKE,
Those Irish Bhooys are novices when it comes to leading folk astray……leave that to us Glasga Bhoys, we have a Degree in leading folk astray !

Is this newly released and unseen before ?
Good morning CQN from a cool, grey and showery East Devon.
At the risk of stating the obvious, I hope we have a strong Ref on Tuesday, as I have no doubt some PSG players will be looking to gain any advantage whatsoever and will have made a pre game plan to put the Ref ” to the test” .
We at Celtic have seen it all before down the decades from Athletico Madrid, Arsenal, Porto, Juventus, Rapid Vienna, Barcelona, both Milan teams, Oldco and Sevco and many more….PSG will be no different.
Whilst I am sure that Brendan will have our Bhoys well drilled, in trying to ensure the Celts Bhoys avoid making rash challenges etc, we know what to expect. Some PSG guys will hit the deck as soon as a Celtic player even comes anywhere close to them.
Wouldn’t it be superb to see Big Jozo inflict around 7/8 ” Kenny Miller” style challenges ( quick, clean and fair) on some of these PSG guys, just to let them know what they are in for, and the Ref to take the fairest view that football is a contact sport and doesnt fall for any PSG Cheating when the ball is won fairly and cleanly only for some of them to go down like ninepins ?
IF PSG got a good result on Tuesday playing good football, I for one would have no complaints, however my gut ( and I suspect I am not alone ?) tells me to expect more of the diving and cheating by the opposition.
i do not seek a Ref who’s a Homer and biased towards Celtic ( that would be a first ?). all I ask is that the Ref is strong and fair minded ?
Maybe I ask too much ?
The Celtic support have a major part to play, in the probability that Brendan will have our Bhoys passing and moving, and sometimes go back and sideways, and the Celtic support MUST show patience.
As for any TIFO’s/ Pyro’s etc….I love them but PLEASE dont have ANY message that is going to incur the wrath of UEFA ( Rightly or Wrongly ?).
My message to the Celtic players is this…..” PSG”…………..
PLEASE SCORE GOALS !
Go get ’em Celtic.

Good morning, friends and Happy Champions League Eve.

It was in my mailbox this morning and seemingly released last night. I’ve certainly not seen a number of those mails before.
Auldheid or another closer to the action can perhaps confirm.
Some of those e mails cannot be considered anything or than collusion in my opinion.

Tony Blair became “obsessed” with creating a British football league as a way of bringing the UK together, the former prime minister has revealed.
Mr Blair said he believed merging the Scottish and English leagues would strengthen the bonds between the two nations after devolution.
It has often been suggested that Rangers and Celtic in particular could join the far wealthier English league but the idea has never come to fruition – partly because of the lack of widespread support for the move from English teams.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A terrible person – not how I would have wanted Celtic into the EPL.
BTW – isn’t it so annoying how the MSM insist on putting Rang**s before Celtic, even if for no other reason than the alphabet, it always should have been Celtic first. Are they told to do this as they are in the wearing of the poppy? Anyway, that isn’t such a issue nowadays as Rang**s don’t exist anymore.
And TD hits another one out the ball park BOOM! The man’s on fire :))

Does anyone have a link to the full response from Regan to the SPFL outlining his reasons for not participating in an independent enquiry.
I read it last night and can’t find it now and would like to reread.
It seemed at the time that the first of his three points didn’t make sense inasmuch as he states the question asked of senior counsel but fails to give the answer received stating only the opinion that it would be very difficult to get a result not whether the rules were broken.
cv
CATHEDRAL VIEW
You honestly don’t need to read it he more or less just said it’s not happening on my watch, because I’m baw deep in it, in layman terms :))
I got a wee turn again on Saturday/Sunday with the horses and in particular two trainers whos stables are going very well.
Again Trainer D.McCain who had one horse running on Saturday..it won @ 7/2, with the excellent young Will Kennedy as the jockey. Jump Racing.
Flat Trainer Clive Cox, had the winner of the big race on Saturday Harrys Angel, @ 2/1….I had got 5/2 earlier.
Mr Cox followed that up with his one runner at The Curragh yesterday/Sunday ” Snazzy Jazzy” @ 4/1….I had got 6/1 earlier in the morning.
…………..
Again today..Monday at Perth D.McCain has only TWO runners with W.Kennedy on board both.
Perth 2.35…Golden Investment @ 5/2 ?
Perth 4.35…The Clock Leary @ 7/2 ?
D.McCains horses in particular have gave me several good returns in recent weeks.
Note, No one is giving me these horses as “Tips”, they are just my personal choices.
I think Golden Investment in the 2.35 is my strongest fancy ?

Sorry I missed your birthday yesterday but I hope you had a lovely day, and yer dad spoiled you.
Is Regan really saying in point 1 that senior counsel has said there was rule breaking but it’ll be difficult to nail them on it because the SFA are dysfunctional?

Trying to look like an “Investigative Journo” but again Missing the Mark.
If Peter Lawwell’s mission is to expose Scottish football’s bad apples then go ahead but if it’s about the Ibrox trophy cabinet we’re in for a rough ride – Keith Jackson
Celtic chief executive would be doing Scottish football a monumental turn by exposing any wrongdoing.

There may well be a thousand unanswered questions regarding the events which led to the liquidation of Rangers.
But now that Scottish football is back on the brink of all out thermonuclear warfare, two in particular stand out from all the rest. They may even be inextricably linked.
What exactly is Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell hoping to achieve by pointing his missiles at Hampden’s sixth floor?
Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell

Celtic ace Patrick Roberts says his side aren’t running scared of PSG because they have the firepower to kill teams off
And what are the SFA so doggedly determined to keep hidden in their bunker?
If the answer to the first question is – as some of Celtic’s hard core dearly wish it to be – the stripping of titles from the Ibrox trophy cabinet then Lawwell is playing with fire.
If that is his end game and if he is successful then one day he will be deemed worthy of his very own statue on the Celtic Way. But at what price to the rest of the Scottish game? Because, in doing so, he will open up wounds which will never heal over and also force his club’s relationship with Rangers into a whole new world of bitterness and hostility.
Yes, the next door neighbours deserved to be punished for the financial meltdown which was a result of their own reckless hubris and which cast a huge shadow over the entire Scottish game. But the Ibrox club will argue, with some justification, that they have already paid an enormous price for the crimes which were carried out in their name.
Craig Whyte, administration, Duff and Phelps, liquidation, Charles Green, League Two, Bilel Mohsni. There is a strong argument here that Rangers and their supporters have had to suffer indignity like few others in the history of the sport since Sir David Murray took them to the brink.

Throughout all of it, Celtic’s superiority has soared to uncharted levels. Six successive top flight titles have already been banked along with millions upon millions of Champions League pounds.
Today Lawwell presides over a club which has never been so powerful or so much more mighty than the rest. Assuming he wishes to stay for the long haul then it is entirely possible that he will be in charge when his club is celebrating ten-in-a-row and cementing the second greatest era of its history behind the legend which was written in Lisbon.
Tomorrow he’ll be rubbing shoulders in the Parkhead boardroom with Paris St Germain counterpart Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who just might be the single most powerful mover and shaker anywhere in world football right now – while watching his side complete against Neymar, the most expensive player of all time.
And yet, in the middle of this period of unsurpassed empire building, are we really to believe that Lawwell is still spitefully lusting for the blood and the titles of his long since vanquished rivals?

I’m sorry but that just doesn’t seem logical especially given the circumstances of the Rangers demise. The misuse of EBTs is what brought this club to its knees. A tax avoidance scheme which was ultimately exposed as a vulgar scam.
For the normal working man on the street, of course, such blatant attempts at stiffening the tax man and robbing the public purse are morally reprehensible.
But this is how big business works. And football is big business.
Yes, without question some of the big names lured to Scotland by Rangers during that period were attracted by the financial inducements that the club was ultimately unable to afford. So, yes, it follows that Rangers almost certainly did gain a sporting advantage by the use of these EBTs.
But they’ve more than paid the price for this recklessness. To strip them of titles won on the pitch because of the financial jiggery pokery which was going on off it, wouldn’t just seem needlessly heavy handed. It would also be hypocritical given the lengths so many others in Scottish football go to in the name of running rings around Hector.
And spare me too this notion that it’s all somehow in the interests of learning lessons for the future. How many more lessons need to be learned over and above the obvious? It’s simple really. Don’t spend what you don’t have and make damn sure HMRC gets what it’s due.
SFA chief Stewart Regan
No, there has to be another, greater aim for Lawwell and it can’t just be a public pandering to the element of his own support who are hellbent on squeezing Rangers until their pips squeak either.
Which brings us back to the second question. If the SFA really has nothing to hide then why are they behaving in such a curious, highly suspicious manner?
Could it be that, rather than looking to bloody an already badly broken blue nose, Lawwell has reason to believe that certain individuals are being protected by this stonewalling of his demands for a full review into this never ending shambles.
Because, if that is his real motivation, then Lawwell could be attempting to do the entire game in this country a monumental turn.
If there are people still clinging on to lofty positions of power despite being reputationally tarnished by their parts in this entire fiasco, then it serves the interests of the game for their wrongdoing to be exposed.
Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell (Image: SNS Group)
For example, I’ve been writing for long enough now that Stewart Regan is unfit for purpose as the SFA’s chief executive, and if an investigation into Rangers can offer up conclusive proof of his incompetence then all well and good.
While it would be a surprise if Regan was Lawwell’s target given the previously close relationship between the pair, it would be a welcome plot twist nonetheless.
But there could be others whose actions need to be explored including those of Rangers head of administration Andrew Dickson whose involvement in the notorious side letters hasn’t prevented him from climbing the SFA’s own ladder.
Better still, if it is Celtic’s belief that there has been some sort of institutionalised cover up, all propped up and endorsed by the SFA, then Lawwell is justified in demanding both accountability and action.
Perhaps that way, something good and important might come out of the Rangers farrago. Let us hope that this is the sort of positive closure which Celtic are seeking.
The alternative, a closure which does nothing more than open up old wounds, can only end badly.

Press packs for the game on Tuesday
Sorry I meant to add to that ” article” by JacksHUN,
He himself states that he ( JacksHUN) has stated in the past that Regan is not “Fit for Purpose”, but at the end he states about how bad it will be for Celtic ” to open up old wounds” ?
Aye Keech…we all know who it would be bad for !
Is this Chump really saying that despite Celtic FC being cheated out of millions ( Res 12) etc, and Celtic fans ( and other fans of other clubs) paying hard earned money to watch a game that was clearly “Rigged” in favour of one club….to “open up old wounds would be bad for Scottish Football” ???????????
i would ask Mr JacksHUN this one question off the top off my head..”
Keech, someone breaks into your house and steals much of what you own. The Robber isnt caught until some time later. He appears in Court.
The police ask you if you still wish to bring charges against the Robber ?
You reply…” No Constable as I have no wish to open up old wounds, as this robbery would be bad for the area that I live in, as it would have the public believe that there is a crime wave in my area, and it’s not a nice place to live ”
Robber then walks FREE from Court.
Aye right Keech….ya CHUMP !

Keep all that stuff coming , my friend in Celtic.
Tomorrow he’ll be rubbing shoulders in the Parkhead boardroom with Paris St Germain counterpart Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who just might be the single most powerful mover and shaker anywhere in world football right now – while watching his side complete against Neymar, the most expensive player of all time.

Justice is now portrayed as ” spiteful ”
The pursuit of justice as ” lusting ”
What we lust for is justice.
Go get them , Peter.
Not for us . For the integrity of Scottish football .
Kieth Juckshun is no more than a bookies marker, and he won’t be long applying for that job soo the wat the paper sails in this country are dropping, and the sooner the better for that Chit wipe of a paper.
McJay
Yes strangely enough the media have (let’s use they’r favourite words this year) “no appetite” for the truth and justice, it’s a case of the old “haven’t they suffered enough” it’s not a case of that it’s nothing to do with RIFC at all, but they , the media keep dragging them into it, they are so used to the continuation myth they can’t help it, now if we could move on from that it would be a good start, but then that would be dragging over old coals eh?
My friends in Celtic,
Not vindictiveness, justice.
Football is no different to any other sport. Cheating when found must be punished..
Do they not understand, we cannot let proven cheating go unchallenged . It really is that simple.
Hail, hail to all.
Treble winning captains made an interesting post the other night in which he said that BT sport had told him that one set of fans complain to them way more than any other club. Good on BT Sport in not giving in to such pressure but it’s obvious others have given in to aggression and some ways , especially for individuals , I can understand it.
They are obviously organised and have had some success. Five years too late . Too bad.
BIGJIMMY 919
Jacko seems a little confused. He clearly doesn’t understand the difference between consequence and punishment.
Everything that the huns have so far “suffered” is as a consequence of cheating HMRC out of their dues. Title-stripping-and hopefully a few court cases-will be a punishment.
Equally,the SFA have yet to suffer the consequences of their part in the cover-up. That,I think,is the main aim of PL at the moment.
With appropriate punishment to follow.
Aye,it IS about Rangers,let’s not kid ourselves. But only inasmuch that there is CLEARLY an unhealthy amount of influence exerted by office-bearers and beyond on their behalf.
Ultimately,it’s about clearing out the stables. And the ordure which has been stinking up the place for decades has to go for that to happen.
The sooner Jackson et al stop their deflections and untruths,and recognise this fact,the sooner we can all breathe easily again
Really excited about what lies ahead tomorrow……….could be the loudest yet at CP in CL,hopeful of doing ourselves justice(nice word) we compete at our best and see what that gets us.
Bring on the Parasites
Stringer Bell 3:03
The Davies article in the Times was an absolute belter. Lost count of the number of times he said lies and smears.
The best bit was when he said he wouldn’t go to a club that was beneath his abilities like Dundee United, St Mirren or Hearts.
Then proceeded to tell us why he didn’t get the job at Hearts that he applied for!
The whole point that a lot of people seem to forget here is that fraud charges should be made here, millions of £££s have been lost by other clubs during these years of cheating by this club IF you want to bring in RFC to the matter, then police Scotland would have to be involved, let’s not kid our self on here this is a very serious matter and Regan knows it, that’s why his )( is flapping.
