MacLennan safe but look for a face-saver

300

To be fair to the media hacks, the close season can be a bit dry for news, so it is no great surprise to see them continue to a nefarious campaign on inappropriateness where it was established in clear legal terms that inappropriateness did not exist.

I anticipate they will soon be flabbergasted at Steven Gerrard’s general magnificence and move on.  Just like the SPFL already have.  Murdoch MacLennan, a newspaperman, will have to suck it up until then.

Newco and their acolytes now know there is no issue with MacLennan, but they are looking for a face-saver elsewhere.  Keep your eyes open for this.

  1. Cellic must be p#sh, given awe the nickertwisting about Speirs.

     

    Its a shame that the Cellic urny run by a board of rebellious directors, who, with the mountains of evidence provided so far, that they haven’t taken, the SFA, SNP, SPFL, SMSM, Rangers FC, out of the equation.

     

    Its even more of a shame, that Cellic supporter’s continue to financially prop up such a yellow, spineless, complicit , same club lie £49 fudging, deceive you by skelping pub teams, get fun oot against big teams, smoke screen type of racket promoting, apathy inducing, soul sucking, Old Firm promoting, soon to be emptied seating through boardroom back ae the bus scunnerdness.

     

    Best days of our lives, indeed.

    Maybe I am being a tad unfair as I might be too influenced by those who are quick to criticise Dedryk but very, very slow to praise.

     

    I accept that I am a vert positive supporter and one who is loathe to criticise as I believe the latter is already done for me by the MSSM.

     

    How are you faring these days?

    Don’t think the German coaches were happy with Sane’s big time Charlie attitude. Team ethos conquers all. History tells us they know what they are doing.

    An interesting post. I am surprised it has taken you so long to realise this side of Celtic.

    You should consider changing the record bud, seems like you have been singing the same song for years, has become very very predictable, think about mixing it up a little bit, try and keep folks interested…

    Do I think that what the zombies did, and what our Board appear to have done are the same thing? No. They stole our titles and our money. We seem to have turned a blind eye to the theft. Not the same thing.

     

     

    Do I think both are problematic? Yes.

     

     

    Do I think both need to be acknowledged if the game in Scotland is to be truly cleaned up? Yes.

     

     

    Do I think both Boards owe the truth to their fans? Yes.

     

     

    Do I think you get it from either? No. Sevco Board lie. Our Board, for the most part, simply doesn’t answer.

     

     

    Do I think both Board see the OF feud as good for business, but will never admit to that? Yes.

     

     

    Do I think that they both have their spokespeople who are used to rile up thier own fan bases and deflect from scrutiny of their own actions? Yes.

     

     

    Does that make me Graham Spiers? I dont think so. I just want the truth.

    Getting there,mate,thanks for asking. TBH,I’m fine bar the fact I get out of breath too easily.

     

     

    I’m with you on the negativity,btw. My idea of criticising a Celtic player tends to be a muttered ffs,or as an aside to my nearest and dearest-Did you see that p…?

     

     

    I don’t get the boo-boys. But then,I don’t understand Celtic supporters who vent constantly and aimlessly at the team they support.

  11. BMCUW

     

    Good to hear that you are getting there and I would have thought that the breathing difficulty would at least make stopping smoking a bit easier.

    I thought your `we` referred to the respectibe supporters rather than the respective Boards.

    Again, are our fans the same as theirs? No. but, Are our fans exempt from criticism? When it come to dealing with our Board, Absolutely not.

     

     

    The zombies ended up where they did because, as long as they were winning, they didn’t challenge their Board.

     

     

    Now that we are winning, I see a similar sense creeping in to a section of the Celtic support ….

     

     

    it concerns me.

    If you scroll up the articles you see on the right hand side it says profile, if you go in there you should be able to change it back naw???

  16. Guys any word on Eduard Le Skelper ??

     

    I think Joe Allan would be a good addition, I don’t know if someone was referring to me earlier by saying ” I was led by the nose” in expressing my opinion about Allen.

     

     

    I think he could be a good addition, if as someone says it would take £15million to prise him away from his present club, then obviously it won’t happen, we could look at a loan deal, although I do prefer to get players signed. Still think he would be as good for us as we would be for him.

     

     

    All IMO of course

    I have met Graeme Speirs, and he seemed like a very nice, intelligent bloke. Would trust him as far as I could throw him though.

    Re Spiers’s comments about Ogilvie, many of Harold Shipman’s patients, those who survived of course, described him as a convivial chap who always had a kindly word for everyone.

     

     

    So there you have it. What more proof do you need?

  22. Modern Media isn’t so much about the truth. Those who know how to play the game know it’s about who shouts first and who shouts the loudest. Once the Agenda it set it doesn’t matter how much analysis and comeback there is, whatever is said first sticks to some extent.

     

     

    We can apply that to King’s agenda here. He wanted to create a perception that the governing bodies are pro Celtic and anti Rangers. He is looking further down the line. Today as the story rumbles on he has achieved that amongst his target audience, supported by some in the SMSM. The facts are now lost, the reality doesn’t matter. King has spoken and the hoardes have lapped it up as they do absolutely anything pro Rangers.

     

     

    King has achieved everything he set out to, with the added caveat that the ‘Old Firm’ narrative rambles on. He doesn’t have a hand to play i don’t think. This is part of a concerted effort to keep the pitchforks from his door. Also looking ahead, my guess would be that the CO has them bang to rights with UEFA License issue from 2011. This has nothing to do with the SPFL or McLennan. However what King has set out to achieve is to apply sufficient pressure to discredit the verdict and mitigate against any punishment. Whether the football authorities will be influenced or not, we shall see.

    Dedryck in Belgium’s squad, congrats to him. They aren’t taking many defenders and it seems that Kompany is half-crocked already so I envisage Dedryck getting game time.

    It’ll be good to support some of the team during the world cup. Just noticed that Belgium will be playing England and Australia playing France.

    The abusive expert spoiled Celtic supporter used to post on here regularly how p*sh VVD could be, a game against Malmo in particular he took pelters, who’d have thunk he’d be the worlds most expensive defender.

     

     

    All CB’s are outdone by strikers somewhere sometime, very happy to pay season ticket money to have Dedryk Boyata who is easily the best CB in Scotland and even more immense from up close week in week out for Celtic.

    Last year I took part in the GCC Parking Proposals Survey, the results of which I have never seen. In reviving the issue another survey was set up, this time under the guise of “safer parking”. Could not not take part this time, despite my many efforts, and despite using the email addresses in Celtic FC’s own statement, checking the GCC website, calling the “customer” telephone line etc. Checked also, some of the streets listed in the proposals to discover that some at least have no current parking restrictions, at all currently, as in none. Others do have current restrictions, which obviously are not restrictive enough for a Council that cannot find one good reason for banning one Orange Walk in Glasgow, but can find plenty to ban Celtic supporters from parking legally within reasonable walking distance from Celtic Park when Celtic FC are playing er football.

    Should have qualified my post by stating that I very seldom watch anyone but Celtic and don’t have an ‘English Team’ (pathetic) so if said JA is a superstar I apologise

  31. I would have preferred never to play the Huns ever again. However, hammering them every time is softening my position. Every defeat is like a knife into them and this is behind them banning our Fans.

     

     

    Joe O’Rourke(CSA) publically stated that they would rather not take any tickets for Ibrox and not accept the 800. They also suggest that we give them 7,000.

     

     

    They died trying to catch us and they are on the way to dying again. I had wanted them to disappear but we have had a few laughs at their Ham fisted attempt at building a new club pretending to be the same club.

     

     

    Celtic don’t support Sevco neither do our Fans, coaches or players. We want to crush them and will do so even more when we are banned from Ibrox.
