By any measure, last night was tough on Juventus. A heroic performance at the Bernabeu to take a 0-3 lead, only to be denied by a soft penalty at the death. Juventus are the pin-up boys for cheating in football, Oldco Rangers failure to register second contracts pales into insignificance to what the team from Turin were doing over the same period.
As I watched the pains of injustice on the faces of Buffon and his teammates I wondered how they feel about the titles some of them still claim to have “won on the field.” Or, whether their perpetual fouling and gamesmanship against Celtic in 2013 even merits a memory.
I didn’t care either way who won last night but Juventus going out feeling cheated seems about right.

Contrast this with reporting of our Biscuit Tin.
Maybe a wee song by Jim and Ingrid is apposite:

Spin, spin, spin
Spin around, spin around
The harlequin dances in a costume of green (well – maybe not)
Spin around
But under his makeup his age can’t be seen
Spin around
But where are you spinnin’
When will you know
That life is for livin’
That it isn’t a show?
Spin, spin, spin
Spin around, spin around
You look out on the city from your penthouse so high
Spin around
But your pedestal’s your prison and so is your high
Spin around
But where are you spinnin’
When will you know
That life is for livin’
That it isn’t a show?
Spin, spin, spin
Spin around, spin around
Your pills are your conscience
They make everything seem alright
Spin around
Take a white one to go to sleep
Take a red one to stay up all night
To spin around
But where are you spinnin’
When will you know
That life is for livin’
That it isn’t a show
Spin, spin, spin
Spin around, spin around
Spin, spin, spin
Spin away, spin away

Did David Byrne teach John Lydon how to dance?
Rise could be a Talking Heads song. So similar mmmmmm

Must admit,loved most of PIL,rarely got TALKING HEADS.
Loved “My Life In The Bush of Ghosts”,though. Which DB did with Brian Eno. It’s not really a party album,mind…
DD, Lydon is a much maligned genius! Fantastic performer. Go and see him if you ever get a chance!
He called out Jimmy Saville in 1978!

Another great band with a mad Scottish genius. The bold Bill Drummond. My fad was a big Folk/ Country n Western fan. He was in shock when I showed him this Tammy Wynnette video.

DD, I have all the KLF stuff on 7 inch singles and often play them late at night at the weekend after quaffing copious amounts of wine.
Mrs VFR and the neighbours are seldom impressed!

Great post earlier. My Celtic support does not extend to Hampden or FTSFA tournament either. Very best of luck with your treatment.

new article posted.
Hot Smoked.
AT, who wrote the Foreward to Downfall, is kept up to date
Kev J. The problem is no united supporting front to get behind. The CST agreed at AGM to meet up with CSA to look into a campaign for honesty. That meeting has to wait another couple of weeks but hopefully will see something positive emerge. Both have the full narrative on the cheating in readiness for the Comp Off concluding. I might put your post to them or hope HT is reading it.
Whoever said Celtic are waiting for a Dougie Dougie moment or a Smoking Gun.
The former was said back in 2013 which became a a driver of Res12 and the latter late last year confirming that Res12 was viewed as such. The circumstances will have wait but it came with full authority.
I can understand patience being tried but the choices now facing Scottish football in corruption terms are huge if the Comp Off does not undermine the narrative by producing some unseen document or Brysonesque reasoning.
In my view it’s not what happened that is holding things up, it is what to do about it.
With regard to not renewing I don’t think that is being proposed, but a delay in renewing is.
It is merely a tactical device to put pressure on clubs and it would have more effect if the supporters of other clubs adopted it over next four weeks. Minds over hearts.
Clubs depend on supporter loyalty to protect them from their mistakes. Hence no accountability. It’s great when you are winning but I remember nothing but strife amongst Celtic supporters from 2009 to 2011 when RFC were cheating their way to oblivion.
VFR. Non attendees depend on folk like yourself to keep the light shining but becoming a fan who doesn’t pay, as opposed to a supporter who does, is the fans way of dealing with their dilemma.
It’s bad enough being cheated but if you are not paying for it then you can hardly complain and if you are paying for it, you have more to complain about if you choose to.
