Is it any wonder Celtic fans worry about contagion?

639

Not only are Newco left without an auditor, a Nomad and therefore a market listing, outgoing auditors Deloitte, wrote to the club last month to explain they were resigning due to threatening and intimidating messages received by their staff from anonymous persons during 2013 and 2014 in relation to their work with the club.

The toxicity of that football club is difficult to overstate.  Is it any wonder Celtic fans are clear: the ‘Old Firm’ died in 2012?  Any attempts to rekindle it will result in contagion for our own club, who maybe smaller going forward without the ‘Old Firm’ dividend, but it will be healthier nonetheless.

I’ll take 40,000 crowds and winning the next 30 titles in a canter, bring it on.

  1. Tim Malone Will Tell on

    I assume that tomorrows Daily Record will be giving it the ole “Free me from my Tannadice hell” regarding Shifty’s desire to move to the ‘Tic?

  2. Cowiebhoy,

     

    Better aff Wei a tape worm, eat and drink as much as you want and when you get to your desired weight just take a pill. Easy peasy and none of that boring dangerous exercise

  3. right offski now, need to make dinner,

     

     

    —————

     

     

    i have shared this story before, but it allways makes me laugh everytime i think about.

     

     

    the uncle who has the same name as me , before he became a train driver, worked on the old smt busses. one saturday he was dispatched with his double decker , to take an orange lodge from paisley doon the coast.

     

     

    not a happy bunny, but he had to do it.

     

     

    he listened to their bell tinkle up and doon the road, and on the way back, an orangie in full uniform says, you have to take the bus back to greenock dony yi, can you drap me aff doon there.

     

     

    aye ok.

     

     

    as is tradition, they passed a cap around and had a collection for the driver. he told me it was actually quite a bundle, as they were all steamboats , and emptied their pockets.

     

     

    after dropping them at their lodge, heads doon the road, with the lone orangman standing next to him and yappin all the way doon the road.

     

     

    my uncle says , i need to swing into the port, a wee minute.

     

     

    pulls up outside saint johns, takes the collection, and goes inside.

     

     

    orangeman stands open mouthed.

     

     

    uncle tells him to get tae flip aff the bus.

     

     

    full uniform on, abandoned in the port.

     

     

    hehehehhehe

  4. CowieBhoy,

     

     

    Don’t listen to the nonsense in the media about weight loss.

     

     

    Everyone has a different need and plan for slimming down. No two people have the same metabolism and body structure.

     

     

    Sugar is the chief culprit for the “pear look” prevalent in modern society. Fats are fine, as long as they are in moderation.

     

     

    I highly recommend the Paleo diet, which is basically going back to the way our ancestors ate. The prime rule is: if it didn’t grow, don’t eat it.

     

     

    When enjoying a tipple stick with the heavier red wines such as Cabernet, or Bordeaux, or even a good single malt. Stay away from beer.

     

     

    When it comes to exercise, don’t get carried away with too much cardio, weight and resistance training is by far the most effective method for shedding the pounds, combined with increasingly faster and longer walks, preferably in a natural setting.

     

     

    No need to spend money on losing weight. Common sense and a philosophy of eat less, move more will have you trim in a remarkably short time.

    Has he bought into the new world with his ex club yet :-)))

     

     

    Canamalar, true story, wee Shug the Dug, he had a knee cruciate ops aboot 4 months ago, so was kept in the hoose for 3 months, so only been oot for past few weeks, anyway, 2 weeks ago, he takes really no well, and honestly about doubles in size, been at vet every 3 days for past 2 weeks, transpires he’s been bitten by a Snake

     

    A fkn snake in Bannockburn, apparently not uncommon ?

     

    8 tablets a day to get him back to weight :-)

     

    Incidentally he’s no insured :-((

     

     

    Hail Hail

  6. Cifcti – we can get him for £1m. No need to offer £1.5m, with a year left on his contract not worth that!

     

     

    Mind you how much did we get Armstrong and GMS for? £2m for the pair? We robbed them in broad daylight ahaha

    Re “the walk” yesterday. Bottom line is that it was an anti Catholic march, condoned the the Scottish government. Now can you imagine for a moment if it was an anti muslim march, can you imagine the stooshie that would have caused, doesn’t need thinking about.

     

    As for them, they are a disease needing total eradicating once and for all.

     

    KINGLuBO

     

     

    Have been over this before.

     

     

    Short of leaving the EU and bringing about prosecutions for actual law breaking. there is absolutely nothing that the Scottish Government or local councils can do about Orange Walks.

     

     

    As I have cited on a number of occasions, in August 2009 with backing of the police, West Dunbartonshire Council sought to ban an Orange March (in the aftermath of which a firework was thrown into the local Masonic Temple and the alleged thrower underwent a near death assault).

     

     

    The Orange Order took the matter to the Sheriff Court where the ban was overturned and the West Dunbartonshire Council was faced with a legal cost bill of around £50,000.

     

     

    The Orange Order made it plain at the time that QC’s advice indicated that had it lost the Sheriff Court action, it would almost certainly have succeeded at a European level.

  8. For what it is worth.

     

     

    Billy Dodds reckons Celtic and Shifty are made for each other.

  9. Early indications are that the Greeks will vote NO. Not surprised but the repercussions could be huge. Who is going to blink first.

    Those with the most to lose.

     

    Greek people are paying for years of governments who took a wink and nod approach to high class tax dodgers and various other fly by nights.

  11. Cowiebhoy,

     

    I’ve seen a few Adders in my day as a poacher it’s amazing the wild life you can spot in Scotland if you keep your eyes open.

     

    Go for the tape worm for most of us we eat because we enjoy the flavour, this way you get the flavour and none of the drawbacks just an uncomfy crap and an itchy arse :)

  12. Although not comparing like with like.

     

     

    I wonder if some is waiting in the wings to really shaft the Greeks even if the vote yes.

     

    Just as Cameron shafted the No voters with his almost instant EVEL.

    Blackadder was Glasgow’s first Archbishop!!

     

     

     

     

    Robert Blackadder (1445-1508) was Glasgow’s first Archbishop and was University Chancellor from 1483 until his death.

  15. quono, Greece owes 320 Billion, of which 56 Billion is owed to Germany. They need another 50 Billion at least to keep going. If they default and the 320 Billion they owe becomes a bad debt it will shake Economies worldwide including the mighty Germans. So what do lenders do risk giving another 50 Billion to try and safeguard existing Loans or cut their losses and let the Greeks go under. Looking at it Globally its like a fascinating high stakes Poker game. However the tragedy is the millions of families and individuals who will suffer hugely if this goes wrong.

    i wonder what way this guy playing the keyboard voted

  18. corkcelt,

     

    This has gone wrong it’s not a case of when any more, the Greeks were given money and conditions under which they were allowed to spend it, the last so called “bailout” was labelled as money for investment into their economy yet the condition it was given was that 90% of that money went to repaying the previous “bailout”which included interest, an absolute con perpetrated by banks and their lackeys in European govts. The EU is supposedly a cooperative union, interest free loans should be the norm anything else is simply loans harking and that is what has happened to Greece.

  19. Oh and millions of individuals and families are suffering right now, the extent of their suffering might change a little but that’s it, a little that is why the are no that bothered, loosing a little more of nothing isn’t too much of a hardship.

    Good news – and if less than £1.5m then class aha

    Someone mentioned earlier bombs and the slaughter of the innocents

     

    I believe it was in reference to the Wests intervention in Middle East matters

     

    So it’s OK then to glorify in song the perpetrators whose bombs killed many innocents on these shores

  22. Canamalar- re: Greece

     

     

    Couple of civil servants are flying out from Glasgow with suitcases stashed with Euros!

     

     

    The money is mainly for pensioners but there will be some British tourists getting help anaw.

     

     

    The 2 going have got three weeks to dish oot the dosh, lucky bassas :-)

     

     

    Ps no, I don’t know the flight times or I might have ‘seen them off’ at the airport :-)))

    Think the Greeks were always going to vote No, Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas as they say. had they voted Yes then their European cousins would have screwed them a little more

  24. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

    Looks like the no’s have it in Greece ..

     

     

    Excellent!

     

     

    :)

  25. Looks like the EU’s threats and withdrawing from talks until after the vote as a means to strike fear into the Greeks has backfired, they will now return to the table and demand what exactly ?

  26. leftclicktic on

    Spare a thought for the people of Greece if they vote no,when the money lenders start behaving as money lenders do ,fear, intimidation ,threats and aggro.

  27. Saint stivs

     

     

    My late dad spent his formative years in Greenock between the ages of 12 and 37.

     

     

    He came from a small rural community in northern Italy, and could not speak a word of English.

     

     

    But he soon picked up the local vernacular.

     

     

    He also became acquainted with Gibby and the Strone.

     

     

    It is also where he told me that: “I learnt to fight.”

     

     

    He wisnae a big mhan either.

     

     

    HH!!

  28. At the dinner table tonight, the wee mhan (5, and doesn’t like football) tries to wind me and his sister up by saying Celtic are rubbish.

     

     

    He then says Rangers are better.

     

     

    I laugh and say “do you know where rangers are in Scottish football?” (meaning 15th) .

     

     

    He replies “in the toilet”.

     

     

    Big laughs all round. And he wasn’t far off the mark.
