Hartson late mea cupla

827

I’m sure Ronny Deila is delighted to have the backing of John Harton, now he doesn’t need it.  John’s attachment to the club is not in doubt, nor should a new manager want unquestioning support from anyone, but some clubs reach a point when they become unmanageable.  Influential voices collaborate with perma-upset media and fans to expose shoots of recovery to a winter frost.

The mea culpa, when it arrives, is often too late.

Save us from the click bait that is suggesting Craig Gordon is a ‘target’ for some or other English club.  Derk Boerrigter is interesting Real Madrid, honest, they’ve been watching him with the Development Squad.

I’ve been waiting for weeks on someone to ask the question: if a club accepts money on the condition that the lender has the right to appoint two directors, in the event the club removes those directors, do you reckon that would be a breach of the terms of the loan?

I’d be extremely worried if a well-intentioned, but nonetheless, baying mob chased away the last independent director of my club.  Many Germans celebrated the Armistice, thinking a conclusion to hostilities had been agreed.  Months later they learned the terms left them bereft of land, defensive capabilities, capital equipment, authority and self-respect.  What seemed like an end to the trauma only set in motion far greater horrors.

Our good friends at Magners have offered two premium seat tickets for tomorrow’s game at Celtic Park.  To win, email me the name of the team we’re playing at celticquicknews@gmail.com

Competition closes at 5pm tonight.  If you would like to help build a school kitchen for 909 hungry kids for Mary’s Meals in Malawi while entering the competition, you can donate £1 here.  Thank you.

  1. blantyretim is praying for the Knox family on

    Just home from meeting our and my special friend zbyszek ( dick Byrne also made an appearance )

     

    Obviously Richie and Oldtim where in attendance

     

    I’m really glad I met him not only because reading the last page on Cqn makes me glad I haven’t read it all afternoon

  2. Sneaking a look at Villa v WBA before the TV gets hijacked . AV look terrible and likely to get beaten.

  3. 67Heaven .. CHALLENGING THE LIE ..I am wee Oscar / Neil Lennon.. Ipox belongs to the creditors on

    Och, there are 4 brill photos on that tweet but, for some reason, only one is copying over

  4. I’ve been surprised by how well GMS and SA have done

     

     

    I’m even more surprised that GMS looks the stronger of the two

     

     

    IMO

    Johnnyrambo67 oh it’s not just the OB act my friend. But that on its own showed intent and racism. All on its lonesome. A wee racist act of parliament passed before your very eyes.

     

     

    ————

     

     

    Well that’s subjective, and I know someone who shares similar views to your good self mate.

     

     

    So how about a friendly game of Who Said It? Answers are NegAnon2 or Bill McMurdo

     

     

    1. “This is Scotland 2014 – a narrow-minded, bigoted and racist backwater”

     

     

    2. “The SNP’s so-called vision of a juster, fairer Scotland masked deep-seated racist and religious bigotry”

     

     

    3. “The whole set up is rigged. From the government to the football authorities to the MSM”

     

     

    4. “You know scotland is actually fascinating if you are interested in sociology and psychology. A society in utter denial.”

     

     

    5. “The problem is endemic. Our institutions are sectarian.”

     

     

    6. “The proscribed list – just like the Offensive Behaviour bill itself – is not a genuine attempt to stamp out mindless bigotry but is a chocolate fireguard attempt to hide Scotland’s shame from a watching world”

     

     

    7. “the so-called Scotland of many cultures is a land infested with racial hate and intolerance”

     

     

    8. “Throwing your lot in with a sectarian society isn’t really that clever eh?”

     

     

    9. “Sadly, the SFA doesn’t do fair play or morality.”

     

     

    10. “Scotland is resolutely sectarian.”

     

     

    Answers on a postcard(or on this blog if you prefer). Quiz closes at 10pm. Winner gets a £10 donation to a charity of their choice.

     

     

    *I’m afraid I’ll have to disqualify NegAnon2 and associates from the competition.

  6. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

    I want Villa to go down .. The lesser the big clubs in the EPL .. The sooner the bubble will burst, imo.

    I think if you are highly intelligent you are very lucky but remember it is not down to anything you have done but it is a gift from the Good Lord.If you are like the majority of us and have a good level of intelligence again we are lucky but it again is not down to us but a Gift from God.Others are blessed with gifts that we are not blessed with in Franks case he was blessed with his football ability. I believe it is wrong to bad mouth peoples talents or lack of them as the saying goes there but the Grace of God Go I. H.H.

    Skyislandfill,

     

     

    SA came off injured. I’d replace him with Henderson. I’d leave gms in as he’ll get enough time with his feet up in the coming weeks :)

  9. Johnnyrambo. Let’s see if anyone is interested in your quiz.

     

     

    I don’t mind either way.

     

     

    The thing is that the SNP admitted why they passed the OB and I can point to a cast litany of evidence to show why scotland is racist.

     

     

    Wee Bill on the other hand is feeling betrayed dos the Huns died and therefore cannot see straight.

     

     

    But hey. Let’s enjoy the fun.

  10. What is the Stars on

    What’s the story with John Harston? , has he back tracked on his ronny out stance? ?

     

    Is there no one left but me to stand up to this norwegian madman.

     

    We are doomed I tells yis. Doomed

     

    Don’t panic don’t panic

    Geordie

     

     

    Thanks for replying.

     

     

    That could leave is with non matchfit guys in the qtr final.

     

     

    Forrest

     

    Stokes

     

    Wakasso

     

    Scepovic

     

     

    Maybe start with gms but whoever is pencilled on for the weekend needs a bit of game time.

    Well I know, if nothing else, you’re thick skinned and stubborn mate, so I doubt you’ll take it to heart.

     

     

    My point is to highlight how people who should be on opposite sides of the spectrum, post remarkably similar views. The truth is, in my opinion, no one is out to get us. The days of endemic Government, SFA, referees or media bias are over. The spotlight of social media with all it’s instant analysis shines too brightly. I understand if you lived through those times it’s hard to let go. There may be a few bad eggs remaining, but the world in 2015 is a different place, it’s time to move on.

  13. Getting shooting pains with gout in the big toe on my left foot.

     

     

    Any recommendations to alleviate the searing pain would be very welcome.

    Cherry juice, apparently.

     

    You may also wish to cut down on the brandy, cigaahs an’ syllabub………

    Skyislandfill,

     

     

    Jamesy and stokes have had a wee bit time in the last week. Wakaso shouldn’t be all that far away after his international jaunts.

     

     

    Leigh come off at the weekend and sellic are assessing Jg’s knee so I can see stokes or Scepovic getting a decent run out tomorrow.

    Tiny Tim. Gliclazine from your G.P. is the fastest way I know of relieving the pain it works pretty quickly.I feel for you as the pain is really bad. H.H.

    neganon2 – I don’t know if we have crossed swords before – nevertheless cheers for you mention.

     

     

    All the Labour party’s mistakes have been made ‘on stage’ and we have made some mistakes – anyone who does not make mistakes has NEVER done anything, and the Labour party have done so much for the working class out of whom it was born.

     

     

    There is a steely determination in the Scottish Labour Party to use our new devolved powers to get the best deal on all things for Scotland, within the UK,

     

     

    Labour was written off during the Michael Foot and Militant Tendency years – we reinvented ourselves and came back with THREE victories – two of them landslides.

     

     

    So let no ONE underestimate our great party, and remember, if you vote to oust Labour, you ALWAYS ALWAYS get a right-wing government – ask the SNP, they wanted Thatcher more than Labour, and they gave her to us.

  18. The guy on the receiving end of that dog bite robbed my business , him and his accomplice, a relative , terrorised the staff then stole some money and stock.

     

    They were on a drug induced spree and turned over a few places before he murdered his partner in crime .

     

    He wasn’t out of jail long when he got involved in the Manchester mayhem . He died not long after.

  19. Captain Beefheart on

    Goooooooooodddd evening all.

     

     

    No interest in Rangers.

     

     

    What a pity that the youngster from Ireland, Jay (?), cannot go to Paul’s gathering. Hopefully the boy will represent Celtic in an ambassadorial capacity.

  20. Frank McAvennie asked Bill McMurdo to make it known to Graeme Souness that he would be willing to sign for the Oldco.

     

     

    Souness rejected his approach.

     

     

    Frank McAvennie is a mercenary moron.

     

     

    Shat on us after the centenary season and worked his ticket back to London and his thick page 3 bint Jenny Blyth.

    Great player that he was.

    . Bathe your big toe in apple cider vinegar will not help pain but will shorten the time scale and then get concentrated cherry juice to drink as a help to prevent further suffering.

    Alfie

     

    The problem with the labour party is that it’s not the Labour Party but a party of middle class opportunists who will not only sell their soul for a cabinet seat and a chauffeur but will gladly sell your soul and your children’s soul If you let them

     

    Do they still have the audacity to sing The Red Flag at the end of conference.

     

    By the way if the labour party ever did become The Labour party ( as in a genuine progressive party for the working class) they would always get my vote

  23. Neganon2…so …you could have asked.. do i think all soup takers are ponces….what i said was my opinion of macavennie…a soup taking no voting ponce….i stand by it…..

  24. Alfie Noakes on

    Wakaso is a good player – he has not had a chance yet, due to circumstances – hope Ronny uses him tomorrow – although I would be wary of a pairing of him and Efe down the left.

     

     

    God bless Efe – a good man – an athlete and a good player – if he did not have his ‘weaknesses’, he would be playing with Barca – let’s enjoy his ‘little eccentricities’ – when we can.
