It’s only a flesh wound. King goes Full Python

1151

Celtic hammered Newco 5-1 home and away last season, knocked them out both cups, won one other game and conceded a late equaliser, allowing Newco their only moment of (cough) glory last season.

We finished 39 points ahead of Newco (who were 33 points from bottom). As we set off for the summer, glowing after the first invincible treble in history, chairman of Newco, that complete muppet Dave King, told the assembled media, “In footballing terms I don’t think Celtic are as far ahead as they could have been – certainly with our new signings.”

The two 5-1 defeats now look like Python’s Black Knight losing his legs one at a time, but protesting they were little more than flesh wounds. Except Python was a parody, this guy is being serious!

So, Brendan, Peter, Dermot, get the finger out. These people don’t believe 5-1 is a substantial enough winning margin. When we pitch up at Ibrox on the weekend of 23/24 September, ‘go Medieval on their ass’ to borrow from Quentin.

Take five minutes to update yourself on The Road to Lisbon cyclists, who traveled from Celtic Park to Estadio Nacional last month.

This has been a phenomenal and inspiring effort by a group of Celtic fans – and so many donors.  What a great thing to be a part of.

    I think the first dance played at my wedding reception was “If you’re looking for a way out, I won’t stand in your way” by Oddysey.

     

     

     

    Think it was my wife’s choice.

    I see Dave King uses the same method to calculate Scottish league titles as he does South African tax returns.

  16. What is the Stars on

    Never mind Papin. ..Dominique Rochteau. .now there was a french player who I would have loved to see in the hoops. ..though I don’t think our antipodean free market enthusiast would have approved of his political views.

    Still waiting in your apology “for guys like GFTB” maybe I shou,d be happy as I would prefer more people on a Celtic forum like GFTB than negative kid on Celtic fans “negannon’ keep well

    Ed Sheeran was broadcast live from Glastonbury on BBC2 but equally good was Cappercaillie who celebrated 30 years together as part of the Celtic Connections on TG4.

    TGM I did; enjoyed Foo Fighters and Ed Sheeran tonight. Not a Radiohead fan so I thought they were ok. Seen a bit of Elbow and they never disappoint! Deliberately missed Katy Perry and Barry Gibb. Very much enjoyed Nile Rodgers and Chicago!

     

     

    I’d have been keen to see the Hothouse Flowers on the acoustic stage.

     

     

    I keep telling my wife I’ll take her but something comes up every time! I’ll need to make it to the next one!

     

     

    I reckon it will be the wettest one ever when I go – just my luck!

     

     

    Your thoughts?
