In many places it would be practically inconceivable that someone could be employed in this position:
And get away with running rubbish like this on a back page cover:
But then you see more and get a picture of the organisation involved:
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.

*** GOALS FOR SHAY – WEEK 2 ***
Good morning all.
With just 3 picks still to come in I’m happy to reveal where this week’s choices have gone. I’ve only shown those games where someone has made a selection. And remember, it’s all about goals – you don’t need your chosen team to win.
I’d also add that there have been a total of 71 (seventy one) jokers played so clearly the vast majority of you are expecting loads of Scottish Cup Goals. Me, on the othe hand, would be just delighted if Celtic, Aberdeen and Partick saunter through to the next round of the cup following emphatice 1-0 wins!
My own choice is L-I-V…..E-R-P…..O-O-L…LiverpoolFC…..(for those who remember ‘Cracker’ ;-) )
So here are this week’s choices and good luck to all.
Saturday 21 January
The Rangers [1] v Motherwell
Liverpool [7] v Swansea
Aberdeen [24] v Stranraer
Dundee [2] v St Mirren
Partick [28] v Formartine
St Johnstone [1] v Stenhousmuir
Crystal Palace v Everton [1]
Sunday 22 January
Raith Rovers v Hearts [1]
Albion Rovers v Celtic [40]
Chelsea [8] v Hull

Even at 6s its a decent shout.

Sorry bhoys but I’ve jinxed Motehrwell today after getting odds yesterday of 8/1 for staking a £10 bet with McBookie and if it loses I get a £10 free bet in return. Overall, the odds and terms were irresistable!
I bought their album because of this track
The youtube graphic has been doctored I think. Same background colour howevaaaah.
TGM…
Think your right, even with Mr Thompson’s compliance and the Jobo Hodo, the Well will prevail.
Hail Hail

So if I am to believe everything we see in press
We are chasing Henry Onyekuru who was also being
monitored by Leipzeg …
Obviously they have turned attention to main target Barry 30 mins Mckay
So are we going to be happy signing Leipzig rejects ??????
Everything is now clear…………
For those on the Lisbon List, I spent the Summer of 1976 there, and made the Pilgrimage one sweltering afternoon.
Unique stadium for a unique team’s unique achievement. Magical place.
Here’s an establishment I used to frequent in the old town, till the grant began to run out. (Easy,Tony, Portuguese Government was picking up the tab!) Muito obrigado!
Well worth a visit then, still looks great now.
Beer in litre glasses available (‘girafas’), including ‘cerveja preta’ ( black beer).
Don’t ask me about the food, money was tight, so I had to prioritise!

Emilio – you are CELTIC.
Kieran is learning from Emilio and Emilio is learning from Kieran.
Brendan Rogers Tommy Burns.
One Malloy, prayer said for your brother.
The bookies are not daft, the last time Motherwell won a cup tie at Ipox? I could probably do Jobo’s time in the 5K.
We live in hope though.
OneMalloy: You and your brother are in my thoughts. Best wishes.
Morning Bhoys, do we still get horsey tips every now and then from What is the stars ect? Been given Politologue in the 1:30 today at Haydock. Good Luck if you back it HH
Phil O’Donnell.
What a Great player, if only he had the sport science we have today.
Hutchybhoy
Afternoon! He tipped a couple earlier this morning, one of which refused to leave the stalls last time!
Nothing a zippo and inserting a rocket in the proper place won’t cure, right enough!
Whit joker picked the the rangers ?
Twist n Turns 7.58am
Cheers just finished work will try and dig out another “nap”
Onemalloy wee candle will be lit tomorrow
Barrie McKay must have had some game against Leipzig for them to be spending mega-millions on him.
I heard the score was 4-0. Did he score two goals and get two assists?

Don’t know if you can get a bet on man of the match, but McKay getting it would be the safest bet all season.

Was never a 4-0 game. German fans too enchanted by der Kleine Schottische Zaubermann to notice a goal for each year of their existence anyway!
What happened to the famous anfield atmosphere ?

Actually the safest bet of the day would be the Sky commentators saying “subject of a £6m bid from Leipzig” every time McKay’s name gets mentioned.
Motherwell having a go
Havent been on much in couple of days and just reading back
OneMalloy: You and your brother are in my prayers …..
hope you are all well and I for one am so glad the football is back
