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. McKay – he obviously has some ability. But 3 good runs against Celtic does not a player make.

     

     

    Auden mcgeady is still a better player and I wouldn’t take him back right now. So wee Barrie is as we all know just the latest overhyped distraction.

     

     

    I will concede that he may be better than John fleck!!

  2. Thirds63

     

     

    I would be a lot of money if a semi final is played in Scotland then it will be at Celtic.

     

     

    Lots of reasons. But interested why you think not ?

  3. Headline from the Express:

     

     

    Raith Rovers captain Michael Dunlop hoping to upset Celtic in Scottish Cup

     

     

    Lindsay Herron

     

     

    Proper lazy journalism.

  4. Well….

     

     

    I always think that any limited soccer sympathies the rugger types have are likely to be of an Ibrox nature.

     

     

    Without a shred of evidence…..I’d think the mutual funny handshakes might be more likely.

     

     

    And perhaps there is some residual good will from the Commonwealth Rugby 7s

     

     

    It’s quite possible I don’t know what I’m talking about!!!!

    I wouldnt worry about Donald Trump.

     

    Arithmetic has always been his downfall.

     

    He will do nothing.

     

    The American economy will collapse if he implements any of his election guff.

     

    Apart from a possible nuclear war with China nothing to worry about.

     

    Obamacare will become trumpcare.

     

    whatever happens he will stamp his name on it like Trump University, Trump tower Trump this and that.

     

     

    Its awe about money and as long as the American public are convinced that N****z aint getting any free tax dollars it will be business as usual

  6. Mags

     

     

    And the run lies the truth of his dishonesty.

     

     

    He appealed to the US of Aryans and the bigot within came to the fore without any thought for consequences or the mans personal narcisistic money empowered greed.

     

     

    He might even go for a rename of country to the US of Trumpton.

    Canny wait to meet you in Lisbon to see if I know your face. I know Morrissey23, hope to meet his two brothers.

  8. Thirds63

     

     

    Historically I think you would have been spot on…

     

     

    Things have progressed a long way since rugby has had to be run professionally in Scotland.

     

     

    My understanding is that for the right reasons CP would be a preferred venue.

     

     

    Glasgow v Munster in front of a mixed audience of 60000 in a European Cup semi final at CP would be a fantastic spectacle.

     

     

    It’s a few results off …. But not unreasonable to be considering.

    Delaney’s, a bluenose who can talk about football , is a rarity.

     

     

    More Celtic connections at Ross County for your two nephews with Jim O’Brien now playing for them.

     

     

    Him and Scott Fox were in our 2006 team who won the Youth Cup that year.

     

     

    Good night all and sleep well .

     

     

    Mon the hoops

    The last American president who cared about Americans was FDR.

     

     

    If you have never seen Oliver Stones Untold History of the United States on Netflix I recommend you do. All 12 episodes. Amazing because occasionally I would jump out of my seat with one of those “I knew it” moments. You will never see the past the present or the future in the same light ever again. Not kidding.

    In today’s inflated market I reckon he’s worth £750k to £1M with 18 months left on his contract and I reckon they will cash in this month.

    Paul Quinn is the fenian captain in Dingwall, controlled by fenian manager McIntyre. My sis was at the match in Dingwall today. She has taken to fenian Jim O’Brien. Doddsy is the token hun in Dingwall.

    P.L. on doing his job for Celtic is an outstanding success.

     

    Well , that`s according to Brendan.

     

    His job is to do what the Board tells him to do.

     

    The hun situation is a Board responsibility.

     

    Not a P.L. responsibility.

     

     

    P.L. handy scapegoat . That`s all.

    Are your apostrophes the wrong way round because you’re in Australia?

    Ok. , Vale.

  19. Barrie MacKay = the poor Hun’s Reggie Blinker.

     

     

    All contrary arguments are invalid.

     

     

    Now get some sleep – the Celts will be expecting our full attention.

  20. Look.

     

     

    Back home in Blighty an apostrophe slants thus ‘.

     

     

    Yours slant in the opposite direction.

     

     

    It was meant as a little light-heartedness amidst the heavy political stuff.

    Dem good ol` boys

     

     

    Well, with that in mind here are my predictions for 2017:

     

    1. The sheep will flock back to the Old Firm in their thousands.

     

    2. Craig Whyte will be found not guilty of fraud but guilty of a lesser charge of resisting a test.

     

    3. EBT’s will be adjudged to be fraud except in Rangers’ case when it was aweright but they must never ever ever use them again at least not until the next time.

     

    4. The SFA will win mock the year show.

     

    5. Celtic will say SFA about res 12 except JPT will say “well done lads”. Verbally.

     

    6. The Daily Retard reading age will drop from 5 to 4 commensurate with sheep thinking.

     

    7. Billy Dont be a hero dont be a fool with your life.

     

    8…errr much much more.

    Just had a message from someone asking if I have the phone number for the local masonic hall.

     

     

    Strangely enough, I do, and in the past I have had the keys as well.

     

     

    Life is funny when you think about it.

    Great track.

     

    2017……..Much to look forward to.

     

    Hopefully Brendan`s vision coming to fruition.

     

    A team which can compete credibly in the C.L.

     

     

    The Huns ? Let them wallow in the mire.

     

    God. I nearly said ” swamp.”

     

     

    Affoot the noo.

    I’m an early riser. Even weekends I won’t sleep beyond 6am.

     

    Hate the dark mornings. Waiting to go for a hill run but not possible in this light.

     

    Hopefully another hour or so I can get moving.

     

    Hate sitting around.

     

    Jobo needs to add a ” dawn break time” to his forecasts :-)
