Inner Record culture disrobed, signing up to the Celtic rulebook

891

In many places it would be practically inconceivable that someone could be employed in this position:

capture-20170119-220102
And get away with running rubbish like this on a back page cover:

capture-20170119-220127
But then you see more and get a picture of the organisation involved:

capture-20170119-220204
The Record have been caught displaying their inner culture and will no doubt be forced into a remedial action, but getting caught was just misfortune. The culture exists and has informed articles for years.  They have gone too far down this road to even begin to understand what they’ve done to a once-strong demographic.

An echo reached me from 2012 today, which illuminated yesterday’s article. As the SPL debated serious issues in 2012, a consensus emerged on what subsequently took place. There were hold-outs to the new majority, however.

One director of a club near Glasgow (no guesses, now) made his position clear: “I’m not signing up to any f****** Celtic rulebook.”

The comment met with incredulity, as the Celtic rulebook wasn’t part of the conversation. Fans and clubs across the country came to the same conclusion about how our game should proceed.  It was no more the Celtic rulebook than the Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs rulebook, but prejudices occasionally seep out when people don’t get what they want.

This is what we’re up against. They are still out there, writing articles for the paying public, or voting on the future of our game.

As for the Celtic rulebook, I’ve seen it. It contains one page and only three words: “Pay your bills.” That doesn’t sound like much but remarkably, it may deliver 20-in-a-row. I hope others don’t start to copy us.

    I was only joking about the £50, we had a grand day other than acgr moaning about walking from the train station to my brothers house.

     

    The night before was mental. :)))

  3. I wish I could go to Lisbon.

    It’s funny … after that long, some people are not recognizable, while others don’t seem to have aged at all.

  8. It is best I don’t get friendly with anyone these days because I am so cynical about EVERYTHING.

     

     

    That is the Truth.

     

     

    Sorry.

  9. mike in toronto on

    Petec… how can a Christian really be cynical? Isn’t belief the opposite of cynicism?

    =======================================================

     

     

    I understand your point , mate.

     

    And you`re right.

     

    That`s precisely what USA chose and , to my mind , why they chose him.

     

    He is no slick political performer from the casting lot.

     

    That`s precisely what Obama was.

     

    A slick actor with a slick actress by his side.

     

    A glib performer on the stage , but for me, a ham actor.

     

    A good salesman who sells shoddy goods.

     

     

    Actions speak louder than words.

     

    I was inspired by Trump`s words because I have learned that the free world relies on the U.S. and needs a strong U.S. and IF he is as good as his words , then that is precisely what we will get.

     

    And the free world will see the benefit .

     

    We shall see .

     

     

    Meantime the ethical , decent , morally superior , anti racist , anti sexist , anti mysoginist thugs burn police cars and break shop windows.

    .. sorry for the delay in responding … just in from the vets tonight with my old golden retriever who had a little operation on her ear, and is now wearing the cone of shame

     

     

    Anyways …When I read your post at 1:53, I Was just thinking:

     

     

    1. There hasn’t been a good Diogenes discussion on CQN in a while, so it is probably overdue

     

     

    2 you seem like a nice sort but you seemed a bit down tonight. Just thought I’d point out that You have lots of friends on here

    You may be right. We both hope you are not.

     

     

    Lovely thing to say about my family.

     

    God willing I will have the opportunity to thank you in person .
