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.

    OneMalloy, very sad news. I’m not the praying type but you and your brother will be in my thoughts.

    You educated me with the 666 being produced with a hand gesture. If you are correct, then Trump uses that hand gesture after every one of his scary neo nazi like rallys sentences. God protect us.

  3. I can’t read books because I fall asleep doing so, My Mumski, is also of that thang. It is so strange because I can look @ a screen for so many hours.

     

     

    Dad, he, has a library… CQN is usually the place to get his Presents. Not too happy about some things, not buying the products. Celtic is going Global.

    I have various brothel stories re football fans going back over the years.

     

     

    One of my favourites concerns a young Celtic fan who went to Amsterdam in the early 70’s.

     

     

    He took a walk downtown on his own and came across a big window with the girls sitting in it and was absolutely transfixed. He had never seen anything like it in his life. Of course, he was invited in and the story goes that over the course of his three day trip he visited this hotspot on three or four occasions but didn’t tell anyone else in his group where he had been going or what he was up to.

     

     

    It was only when he was back in Glasgow that he heard others talking about the red light district in Amsterdam and he gave his situation away when, having remained quiet throughout this communal conversation, he suddenly blurted out:

     

     

    ” Yea mean ………. there was more than one winday?”

  11. Celtic are not Charlatans.

     

     

    Praise be to the Faith of our Fathers.

     

     

    Kitalba and a few others always try to Build bridges.

     

     

    It is lost in a Global/ Cosmic Battle.
