Worst Rangers [sic]team in history?
Check.
Worst Rangers [sic]chief executive in history?
Check.
Worst Rangers [sic]fans in history?
Oh, please. They have played their part to perfection.
Worst Rangers [sic]manager in history?
Who, Ally the Great Enabler? No way.
Charles Green would not have any authority at Ibrox if Ally McCoist didn’t act as his enabler last year. While every Celtic fan with a keyboard was typing “Can they really be so stupid again?” Ally was cutting a deal for almost 5% of the share capital of the company [sic]. None of this would be possible without Ally. If you see him, buy him a pie.
The juxtaposition was pointed out to me:
19 years after John Keane stepped forward with an amount of money very precious to him..
With no guarantee it would solve our problems…
Or that he would see a penny of it again (for the record, he hasn’t, and he is unlikely to)…
A very different history played out across the city.
Today’s Herald told us the group trying to overthrow the Sevco board contains Jim McColl and that, “McColl is one of Scotland’s richest people, but he won’t spend his own money”.
The world is full of rich men who will not spend their own money. Long may they squabble over the Ibrox debris.
Our honorary chairman, John Keane, waved to the Celtic Park crowd before letting the league flag fly high, a direct consequence of putting his money where his mouth was.

16 Roads,
For September, we’re going to chip in and get you one of those beer hats with straw, so you can comfortably walk bar to bar with two pints strapped to your noggin.
It’s still illegal to drink in the street in this bastion of western democracy, but the rozzers won’t notice it.
SIPSINI
Replied about five hours ago.
Strange since I sent it about twelve hours ago!
My network doesn’t work too well within about 300 yards of my house and is really bloody annoying.
Good excuse to go to the pub though!
FFM
Did you contact the person I mentioned on Friday?
Bobby M – It’s all good chief.
That ACGR one is a mental case alright,no two ways about it.But he has a good heart.
Was at a great gig earlier mate,hit the drink hard though.Afraid to go asleep because the hangover will be murder tomorrow.
FFM
I doubt that the author meant Tommy’s teams,more likely the other ones he played in.
And there was some dross ……
Paul carried us through maybe six years of it. He must have despaired looking at some of his team-mates.
A genuine hero. We were truly blessed to have him at that time. I just wish he had won as much as he deserved.
FFM – Going to be on my best behaviour next time mo chara.
My own greed was my own fault.
Wasn’t fair on you and AGCR having to keep me in check to be honest.

Hangover? Never had one.
Maybe if I had,I wouldn’t drink so much,haha!!!
If you want to avoid one,drink a half-pint of tomato juice-or chuck a tin of chopped tomatoes into the micro-add plenty of salt,and if yer brave,some Tabasco.
You will then be hangover-free.
I told a mate about this,but he still gets hangovers as he’s too pashed to remember to take it!
16ROADS
Kidding,aincha?
You were one of the highspots of a great day,and you backed that up in some style on your home ground.
Aye,us moonhowlers are fine judges!
I gather you are meeting some of our gallant band this week?
bobby murdoch’s curled-up winklepickers…
No prob, still finding my feet wae the night shift timetable.
Anyways I’m looking forward to work tonight and giving my “fenian smirk” as the huns in work call it. ;-)
SIPSINI
I freely confess to having developed one of those over the last coupla years.
Just a marvellous feeling,innit?
bobby murdoch’s curled-up winklepickers
I work in a hun infested environment..
I was labeled as provo 18 years ago by the bigots…feck them I live up to it:-))
SIPSINI
I get it in the neck when I’m back in Kilwinning. It’s where I perfected the art of the withering put down.
Usually containing a lot of effs….
Bobby M – If God spares me my friend.
I need to decorate a few tables.TT the legend.
Hope to see you right in September as well,BT also and HT obviously.
Would never have made that Celtic game here if it wasn’t for all yousins.
Most people probably wouldn’t consider it a big deal,but to see our team play in my own town meant a lot to me,you know that sure.
OnceInALifetimeCSC
Goodnight and good luck to all Celtic supporters.
Slan.
16ROADS
Oh,I think we got that!
The pleasure was mutual,a game in Belfast during marching season.
A joy to see both sets of fans. And FOURFOURTWO has a lovely two-page spread of THAT mural.
It must be nearly twenty feet tall,wonderful stuff!
Night Bobby, looking forward to your night and meeting some cqn solid tims.HH
BMCUW,
I did amigo, and he’s kindly on the case for me – many thanks.
Re the article, now whose team is he’s referring to I wonder :))
16 Roads,
I thought/ think it was more you two lookin after me that night ! You have to be in some state to bounce off the buildings either side of Hope Street while walking up it like I was :))
SIPSINI
Ihope it is as good as the last one.
A night to remember,and a blackout for many!
16ROADS
My memories are somewhat vague after O’Neills,tbh.
Not surprising,really….
Morning Celts, chucking it down here.
Sannabhoy, text to you and Kitalba you have mail.
Missed this, has it been discussed already?
The script about the founding of legendary Scottish soccer team Celtic Football Club is billed as “Gangs of New York” meets “Field of Dreams.”
Writer/director/actor Peter Mullan’s Paradise, a movie about the founding of legendary Scottish soccer team Celtic Football Club by a priest in 1887, is creating buzz among buyers.
The movie, billed as Gangs of New York meets Field of Dreams in Victorian Glasgow, is being shopped in Cannes by movie director and producer Peter Broughan.
PHOTOS: Star-Studded Jury Lands in Cannes
Broughan, whose directing résumé includes Rob Roy, told The Hollywood Reporter he was exceptionally busy because he has a “project that everyone wants.”
The movie details the story of Irish Marist priest Brother Walfrid, who founded the soccer club at a catholic church in Glasgow on November 6, 1887.

Celtic became the first British club to win the European Cup in 1967. The team is one of the most supported sporting entities in the world and is estimated to have more than a million fans in the U.S. alone.
Broughan is a lifelong fan of the team, nicknamed “the Hoops.”

By comparison with the rest of the Western world .
Unquestionably.
Approx. 50 thou ” boat people” have risked their lives to get here,and some have lost theirs.Even the Labor party now admit “some” are economic migrants.
They voted with their feet.
MACJAY
Following up a recent article,there is a good letter in TIME.
“No doubt migrants can make a positive contribution. But there are also substantial costs involved:social,financial and economic costs.”
Happening everywhere,mate-and if I lived in some hell-hole(Swindon jokes aside) I would do the same.

Your disheartening comments about Australia pain me greatly.
My wee niece has her heart set on living there ASAP!
Australia in recession is still a marvellous place,with a marvellous future.
Particularly for the young.Sorry to create the opposite impression.
I would never dissuade anyone from emigrating to this country.
My opinion is merely that.
The immediate future of our economy is challenging.
Interest rates reduced and perhaps going further South this week.
Value of the A$ dropped 15% in the last few months.
Our economy is currently linked to the Chinese,which is currently “pausing.”
Caveat:I`m not an economist.
MACJAY
She’ll be delighted to hear that,though I doubt anything will stop her!
A wee retirement home for her beloved uncle….

Make it Sydney.

MACJAY
Brisbane,I expect.
That’s where her Dad’s family are from.
But she might pop down for a wee chorus of “The Bells of Hell”…..
B.M.
I`ll get the guitar out.:-)
macjay –
The proportion of the world’s refugees that head for Australia is less than 0.5%.
Apart from that small fact, it is quite bizarre to use the number of refugees heading our way as some sort of proof of what a great country it is.
Australia does not have a refugee problem. Australia has a political problem in dealing with refugees, while clinging to votes.
It is an absolute disgrace what Australia is doing to these poor people.
Also, I strongly disagree that Australia is a great place for young people to come to. Not any more it isn’t. It pains me to say it but the way things are going, in 5 to 10 years time there will be no jobs for them. We will have graduates cleaning toilets and serving burgers.
All because the Australian body politick is afraid to talk about new initiatives. So many Call Centre and IT jobs will be going overseas it is frightening, but the political parties are not facing up to this, because it is not a vote winner.
I retire in 5 years and therefore I am one of the lucky ones. It’s the younger people I work beside I feel sorry for, because their jobs will disappear not long after I hang up my shoes.
Australia is indeed a beautiful country, but in all honesty, I wouldn’t be encouraging any youngster thinking of migrating here. Not as things stand at the moment.
Morning champions
Unlike sipsini … I work in a place where the odd zombie ( is there any other kind;) spouts cack
The only bigmouth is actually a total idiot and ripping him apart is akin to taking sweeties off a child.
While I much prefer the serenity it brings … on days like this I miss the banter ;)
Good morning friends from a dry and calm East Kilbride.
Definitely a white shirt and green tie start to the week. Wonder how many folk I’ll ask, “Good weekend?”

……….
I have missed any replies amigo!
Yes always up for a swally in Glasgows Green and White, I know your arranging something in Sept?

Excuse me butting in….
Australia, it seems to me, is just like the rest of the Western World…
Politics is focused upon some small details that get people debating how many angels can stand on a needle..
Or some other emotive sh%t… While Oz is attractive to me for lifestyle… There is some weird political stuff going on down under..Almost as weird as the rest of the west… ? Assanage (?) is someone who is ahead of the Corporate curve, he knows what is happening Globally in this Brave New World. His Australian citizenship is irrelevant. Indeed, the questions he raises is something to be proud of…
The Big Picture ( that many on here can see in Scottish sport, but not beyond) is that the MSM and the politicians are simply interested in CONTROL…
Their JACKANOROY sown to the chattering classes is highly efficient & successful. Jack Irvine and his ilk are simply gatekeepers to the Fooldom of Emotion…
Is it very very odd, that in the age of the internet bampots that The People (and manyTims) fall for such amplified nonsense? No. It is everywhere…
The old Divide and Rule prevails in the Information Age… No matter how much of a Clown Super Ally appears to the rationale… He will continue to be legitimate, most pertinently to his self deluding self…
So maybe, in a media sense, deluded Ally is just like the rest of us…
As I said Very Very Odd…..
Rant Over…
Heard at the game in Saturday that they are showing the game at celtic park on Wednesday. Is it first come first served or do you have to phone and book?
BTW my previous comment was NOT an attack on Australia. It was an attack on the politicians and the business community who have collectively buried their heads in the sand, for their own ends.
The UK has many problems, but is years ahead of Australia when it comes to business and employment initiatives as a means of creating jobs.
Unless there is a change in attitude here, the future looks bleak for our young people.

24 million is pop.of Aust.
Pop of world 7 billion.
Pop. of Aust. is .00034% of the pop.of the world.
.5 % of refugees means we are doing pretty well in my book.
You refer to them as refugees and ” poor people. ” I disagree.
Those who arrive in Indonesia by plane and pay people smugglers 10 grand ?
Pretty rich refugees.
Politicians on both sides are in agreement that these are economic migrants who see Australia as an extremely desirable place to live.
The worst aspect is that genuine refugees are left to wait in Indonesia as the quota is filled by the rich who fill the pockets of the people smugglers.
I am still of the opinion that our young people have a great future in Oz.,assuming Tony Abbott gets in!!!!!!!!
He was educated by the Jesuits,so he can`t be that bad.
Cheers.

Is there not a higher unemployment rate in U.K. than there is in Oz ?
I wouldn’t go to Australia for a bet.
