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.

  1. Good morning friends from a completely clear skied, dry (obviously!) and frosty (brrrrr) East Kilbride.

     

     

    A very chilly return to ParkRun is on the cards here, course inspection permitting.

    You should enjoy that Motherwell victory later:)

    Think i might have a small wager.

    Hell of a price.

     

    Don`t blame you , assuming a level playing field.

     

     

    Large assumption.

     

    :-)

    They are very beatable.

     

    Living in that big cloud of delusion can play tricks on the mind.

     

    Barry McKay…..worth 12 million now seemingly

     

    You would get more sense from a pile of sawdust than the Hun meeja

     

    Barking mad they are….cant be trusted with crayons.

    Many thanks for posting that link. The wife and I were mesmerised by the beautiful rendition of a great lament.

     

    Compare such beauty in the message there with the rallying call to chaos relayed by Trump yesterday.

    I tell you , mate.

     

    Like perhaps most Tims , I anticipated the end of the Ibrox hun with ill concealed glee.

     

    I`m afraid my mood has changed.

     

    A slow irreversible decline resulting in bit part significance in Scottish football now appeals to me more.

     

    I would be perfectly comfortable with competition with any other combo of Scottish teams , even Hertz.

  7. Right, decision made, must run! Anthing under 22m 30s for my post Christmas Fat Bhoy return would be most acceptable……..

    Could l just put a few things straight

     

     

    Kieran White is not my only Pal, he is in fact my Stalker

     

     

    Kickinthenakas is not my minder, he is my musical director, and chief Photographer

     

     

    As for Old Tim and BT, secret Father and Son

  9. ONE Malloy

     

    Thoughts and prayers with you my friend for you, you’re Brother and all your family

    I think it might go wrong for 12 million Barry McKay today.

     

    They are looking for an excuse to bin Warburton.

     

    You can be sure at least half that Motherwell team are tims, they wont be going there to lie down.

     

    1-0 Motherwell.

     

    Laugh all day:)

    No problem

     

     

    God knows what’s in store with Trump in charge but only good thing Is Mrs Clinton didn’t get into power.

     

     

    Rarely the good guys get elected anyway .. the secret men behind the scenes make sure of that .

  12. i'vehadtochangemyname on

    PIty you didn’t refer to dr’s dwindling circulation, p67 to put alan clark’s 15 minutes of fame into context -lazy journalism never truer

  13. Well at least Iran now know that they can launch a nuclear attack against Israel safe in the knowledge that Donald J. Trump’s America will not respond.

  14. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    Good Morning Bhoys from a damp Central Scotland.I am looking forward to tomorrows game. H.H.

    Id say thats an unlikely scenario

     

    Could be the other way round.

  16. Latesr reports saying Celtic have tabled their bid,and now in talks with the Nigerian kids club.They are fairly digging up the talent.This kid looks very,very good.

  17. the unthank road on

    Proudbhoy.

     

    Wonderful clip there of Finbar and Christie. Brilliant harmony. Once opened for Aslan when they played In Cayman years ago. All the band signed my Bodhran, cept wee shoite Christie wrote “Rangers rule”, would have strangled him on the spot had there been no witnesses. The next day he re-wrote it ” Rangers ruled but not now”. He has been forgiven. Does he still have his demons?

    Trump’s useless idiots on here were telling us that Clinton had ‘vowed’ to start a war against Iran.

     

     

    In fact, in response to a question she had said that if Iran launched a nuclear attack on Israel, the US would retaliate against Iran.

     

     

    That, for a Trump supporter, amounted to a ‘vow’ to attack Iran.

     

     

    It’s pitiful.

  19. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Ernie Lynch

     

     

    Id think that the last thing the Iranians would want, is to have anything whatsoever to do with Israel or the US.

     

    Trump or Clinton….Whats the difference?

     

    They are only the management.

     

    That ‘Russia’ leak came from the US….its going to kick off over there.

     

    Tit for tat media war…CNN, Sky, RT, Facebook.

     

    Entertaining though:)

  20. THE GREEN MAN,

     

     

    Going by the latest reports from the Nigerian press,we are definitely now in talks,the boy has said so himself.A bid has been made.

     

    Of course the newspaper could be The Nigerian Daily Record.

     

    Lets hope its true.

  21. Marrakesh Express on

    Anybody recommend a boozer and chippy in Aberdeen? Getting the train up to see my boy in the Scottish cup.

  22. the unthank road on

    Marrakesh Express.

     

    Try Carmine’s pizzeria. Only 7 or 8 tables, good food , great prices. Tell him “Gerald” ( My sunday name!) sent you.
