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.

  8. When I held a bucket for a cause, what looked like a Single Mum with not a lot, she put a 20 in the bucket. That was Yeshua there for sure, or she Had Jesus @ the forefront of her mind.

  9. TTT: just listened to her there. Lisa Canny is her name. Impressive performer, thanks for the heads up.

    Glad you’re back on your feet. I’m laid up in bed today – been rough all week and Jacky has exiled me to make sure I don’t spread my germs. Such a thoughtful wee soul!

  16. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Delaney’s, Budgie McGhie left the Bankies job just before New Year , as well as his backroom team.

     

     

    I don’t know why he left. Budgie was manager of the Bankies for 12 years since they entered the Juniors.

     

     

    His replacement is Kieran McAnespie who will take charge next week.

     

     

    I’m looking forward to watching our game tomorrow and my son is hoping his game is postponed so we can watch the hoops (on kodi).

  17. Gerryfaethebrig on

    A bucket collection at the game tomorrow 50/50 with the Rovers foundation and the Kieran McDade charity, Kieran was the the wee bhoy who passed away earlier in the season playing for Dunbeth, Leigh Griffiths scored in the 13th minute and lifted a Celtic top in memory of the young bhoy, by all accounts off his own back Leigh met the wee bhoys family before his tribute

     

     

    There will be plenty of green & white in the home end tomorrow

     

     

    Airdrie will be green & white

     

     

    We live in good times :-)

    Good for you I’m hoping to be fit for the Glasgow – Edinburgh cycle this year even if I decide not to do it.

    Dallas

     

     

    I bumped into Budgie last night. He was going into the bookies, surprise,surprise. I asked him why he quit. He replied that he was tired. Still got a good job in Yarrows.

     

    Kieran is an interesting appointment. Your namesake Jammy is happy. Good win against Irvine Vics today.

  23. I don’t know whether or not Celtic are interested in the Nigerian striker, but if they are, I can’t imagine them being happy about him talking to the media about their interest.
