I’ve watched the after-match video from last night’s Rangers Women-Celtic Women game several times, showing Celtic Women’s manager, Fran Alonso being attacked from behind by an opposition coach.
What happened is consistent with the Two-Bob Hardmen who pace the lines at kids, non-league and now apparently, women’s games. The most common target is the referee, who is very much on his own, but commonly involves opposition coaches, players and even their own team’s players.
There is an ocean of inadequacy masquerading as aggression in the grassroots game, last night’s incident was an example. We have yet to hear from the police and football authorities, who I expect to act in due course, to look away would be a betrayal of those who work at games away from the TV cameras. You can be assured that Michael Nicholson would dismiss such an offender from Celtic without the inappropriate delay across the city.

I wonder if Stevie Clarke gets a rep for being a defensive coach because he has two ex-goalies as asst. coaches?
St Stive,
Aye that’s right, cause all the dictators of other countries and caliphates that still enjoy their chicken remain in place. You could say its like taking the soup eh.
A Spain team who plays like sevco. Never thought I would see that.
Nathan Patterson now has more caps than Bobby Murdoch, Bobby Lennox and Willie Wallace
Spain reverting back to the Spain of old
Not the one of Iniesta & Co
sftb
False
87 mins
We’re taking the piss now- bringing Shankland on
Strange bringing on Shanklsnd, Dykes is key to clear corners
6mins inj time
Celtic Mac
This is Patterson’s 13th cap.
Bobby Murdoch only got 12 and he got more than the other 3 Celts
BRILLIANT Scotland.
I’m crediting Humza 😉
2-0 Scotland result
Well done Scotland
HH
Well done Scotland.
That result may deflect the backpages from the hun head butt…….
Great result Scotland. I rather enjoyed that.
Loved it. You can watch football sober apparently.
sftb
Still false
Well done Scotland. Spain were losing the plot the longer the game went on.
Hi Bhoys
I hate the cheating in football like rolling around injured and sneaking back onto the park etc. But as we have suffered from it for years it was nice to see the shoe on the other foot tonight.
KEEP THE FAITH
Calmac in the last 30s was outstanding.
Not another player in the country could do that

Thanks again bhoys for birthday wishes. I really appreciate it. Only another year for state pension. Ffs how can anyone live on that? I’m not being flippant, it’s a disgrace.
Hard earned but brilliant result
Played with a modern ball which does not work on an old fashioned pitch.
Well done to Scotland. Credit where credit is due.
The is the most that I have enjoyed a Scotland game in years.
WHAT about CALMACS LUNG BURSTING Run an Dribble for about 40/50 yards…in the 95th Minute !
SUPERB stuff from Celtics Capitano.
Bring oan the English !

John Hampden, conspirator, was born #OnThisDay 1653. Hampden was arrested in 1683 for complicity in the Rye House Plot, a plan to assassinate Charles II and his brother. Imprisoned but not executed, Hampden coined the phrase ‘Glorious Revolution’ to describe the events of 1688.
Well done Scotland, Steve Clarke has the national team playing like a good club side and it’s working just fine.
Glad Ange has the same attitude, we can beat anyone at Celtic Park on our day…
SAINT STIVS @ 10:09 PM,
We have John Hampden Grammar School in the town – a local hero in these parts…
Hail Hail

This is one of the reasons we do what we do and was the reason we started over a decade ago now but the headstone just serves as an impetus for us telling the player’s story.
In this case the story of an early Celtic star who played at CP1 & CP2 and who is buried between both.

Don’t delete. The pension is a disgrace. My Polish father in law used to send money from his pension to his friends and family to help out. Today they would be sending money to him!
Oh, and by the way:SFTB at 6:04
We are all SFTB…… we’ll, nearly all :))

That’s why I wanted the post removed C. I hope no offence taken. I’ve been drinking since Moses was a choirbhoy. 😂

Not only is the state pension pathetically low the movement of the age date is a absolute disgrace. From 65 to 66, then 67 and a potential move to 68 years old. France going tonto with 62 to 64, wonder what they would do in our UK scheme 🤔
