Our man on the inside, Charlie Green, seems to have upset a few people over the weekend. Charlie was playing to the gallery with his “bigotry” comment; it is not credible that the 35 clubs who voted against providing Sevco access to an elevated league are demographic significantly different from those of Rangers (1872/3). Although, there is a good chance that each of those 35 clubs will have a more mixed profile than the former club.
Green is still fending off interest from people with far greater pull with the Rangers (1872/3) support than he has (genuinely hope he succeeds here). He needs to sell tens of thousands of tickets to prevent his new club slipping into the hands of one of the other consortiums still trying to buy a piece of the action. I always caution Celtic from playing to the gallery, it delivers short term populism but is surely the alternative to a strategic plan. I am sure several clubs will express their alarm at these comments to the SFA.
Unfortunately, since the SFA failed to take action on either of Ally McCoist’s earlier inflammatory outbursts so they can expect more of the same from Green and others.
Attempts are being made to convince thousands of people a bigoted bogeyman has been out to get them. 99% of the target population will do no more than complain loudly but it’s the unpredictable >1% who exist in every community we should be concerned about.
To the best of my knowledge no Scottish club has ever accused others of bigotry, not even during ‘that’ 80 year period. If this is the new acceptable standard, the SFA are welcome to it, but it will be better for all if we go elsewhere to play our football. Our game has been potent for a century but it has now become dangerously unstable.
Let us go now, before this is whipped up any more. Anyone wanting to hold Scottish football together in its current form has a lot of explaining to do.

Lhads,
Looking for a bit of info, going to Milford in Donegal tomorrow for a week, any pubs in that area that I’ll be able to watch Saturdays game in, as I believe Weds game is not being shown. Any help appreciated.
Bma
praecepta,
good point, about the whimper, has he been threatened.
Then again, it may just be as previously described as a dignified exit, with as little who ha as possible.

Gotta say that is a fair point, also have to disagree.
Kenny Dalglish was world class, compared to anyone at any time. How many honours, Scottish, English and European.
Henrik Larsson, the heart says he was, but you may be correct, it is arguable though, would Barcalona have won the European cup against Arsenal without him?
RTC , the Professor Abraham von Helsing de nos jours.
dbbia,
so your saying modern Celtic supporters are rubbish as well :o)

Agree with your three world class picks. and agree that it is a much-misused term. But…
I would certainly put Henrik and Dalglish up there on the list, and having had a glass or two would think about adding George Connelly, Paul McStay and Lubo as well.
The rest of them were rubbish ;-)
Doc is Neil Lennon- KD not good enough in internationals to be truly World class.
My definition is like ole Marrakesh Express, but I think JJ would have got in a World XI at right winger[ if the SFA and their media pals didn’t nominate Willie Henderson instead!]
Marakesh…,
are you saying there can be only world class team of all time and player can only be relegated when someone better comes along.
Would each generation not have a world class team
IMO world class Celtic players I have seen Jinky, Lennox, Murdoch, Dalglish & McGrain.

Perhaps we are close to the final countdown? – Litigation? – Criminal proceedings? – Accountability?
I sincerely hope so!

See you on Wednesday.
Fassreifen, Luxcelt or anyone who knows. I’m in Cologne on wednesday and looking for a pub showing the game. I know there’s a few Irish pubs in the city but any help appreciated.
hh
Malorbhoy -enjoy the golf.
The trick is not to get lumbered with puttin’ Old Tim to bed.
Fanadpatriot, much appreciated, will head there on sat.
Malorbhoy, I wish, but you’ll see me soon enough, you’ll just have to put up way Tommy………….

RTC has already hinted that when the FTT result comes in, he will be back to comment on it
He was right to close it now. The level of debate had deteriorated dramatically in the last 2-3 months. It had become like a version of the old BBC 606 messageboards whereby everybody discussed anything but the subject matter
As soon as the FTT is finished, he/she will be back
EDB
Good Mhan, looking forward to it
DBBIA
He might have to put me to bed meeting him at Waverley Station and he is up for a wee drink before we board the train for Aberdour
Well done to RTC. Agree with most of the comments, and it’d be good to see an epilogue with the FTT. There was some genuinely good, intriguing and entertaining debate, not least from Barca and BRTH, but the level decreased of late and I never saw the point of people posting the exact same comments on there and here. Still wonder who (s)he is though :-)
DBBIA
Larsson not world class
You been on the crystal meth …I know your hard to please ..but
Phone help required.
I deleted a couple of apps. from my htc desire to make room for more music but now my camera and camcorder won’t work but I don’t want to do a factory reset as I would lose my music download app which isn’t available anymore.
Any suggestions?
ibleed
No, just saw the injury as it happened, looked like he streched his ankle ligaments, and Lenny saying after that he was doubtfull, Kris tweeted himself and was none too hopefull.
The game will be on vipboxtv btw.
is the blog broken again?

I would also say that had he stayed in the game longer then George Connolly could also have been classed as world class
dbbia\Marakesh,
out of interest, could you tell me your 11 world class players

Download your phone contents to your pc, factory set your phone and download your phone apps (or anything else you need) back to your phone?

No
nope need to fix that F5 key!
Henke WAS world class.
Hunskelper..I know what you mean. Thinking again, Jinky was up against Best and Jairzinho and to be fair, he was as good as them when on his game. His performances against Leeds, Red Star and the huns 71 cup replay were world class. Kenny did all his best work at Liverpool and was world class there although up against umpteen class players in his position. Henrik was up against the likes of Ronaldo, Romario, Batistuta Bergkamp and Henry, but again, the King on his game was at least equal to them. However I have to say that the Brazilian Ronaldo and Thierry Henry were just a wee bit better than him.
So I’ll take your point.

Exiled and Ibleed thanks for the SSB info earlier, got bounced off CQN by the woofer…….. apparently dogs do walking away :¬)
SOAL-Doing a H & S Course next Mon – Thu ,don’t want to drive back to EK on Wed night,watch the game,with a few shandies and drive back to Penicuik in the morning to sit the exam.Don’t know the area at all,but trying to get a hotel,B&B,in a nearby town,but I know what you’re thinking……:}

Puskas!
De Stefano!
Zidane had a successful international career, as did Paolo Rossi, neither we’re close to being as good as KD or the two mentioned above, respectfully agreeing to disagree.

Totally agree about making them accountable and transparent, although we all don’t have a problem seeing right through them :) I really hope our club is determined about sorting the match fixers out once and for all because even as you say we still manage to get by their odious curtailment of all things Celtic, it really can’t be allowed to continue imho.
HH
I agree, you guys are spot on, Larsson did have something about him, not too shabby a player. Chipped in with the odd goal or two, not bad at all.
