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.

I did watch the English Scandal thingy and was impressed by Hugh Grant`s portrayal of Thorpe. I have never liked Grant`s style before ( even though I thought some of his films were quite good) but I thought he was excellent in that mini-series.

Just to keep the post Celtic, I hope we do buy Edouard.

That is Davie Oldtim’s African bro.
Who would win in fight between Rainjurz and Norman Scott’s dug?

Agree – was novel to see High Grant play something other than a posh man-child for a change.
The amazing thing about the programme is that it was pretty much faithful to the actual events – even the scene when the airline-pilot-turned-prespective-assasinstuck the cream cakes on the stripper’s thrupneys . If you’d made it up it would have been rejected as being to ridiculous (despite the serious nature of what happened).
I see that Hughes has resigned. Throughout all of the scandalous ebt charade ogilvie and his ilk never stood down,
If you think that somehow the sfa has changed think again.

You are bang on the money.

Tell you what lads i was reading something about players at world cup not being available for c/l qualifiers, for me rogic and boyata had 3 months off during the season because of injury so got something time away, sorry lads i world be bringing asap to assist our efforts to qualify.
Always like to see kids that dont make it with us move to other clubs and make career for selves. better when they are hood enough to make it with us.
I hate the huns thinking they have gained any sort of “victory” or vindication.

Is that right ? Worry about your own team.

“I notice JOHNJAMES has pulled a few of his most recent articles. He rarely does that”.
Gone but not forgotten:
“Steven Gerrard – The Soup Taking Intern”;
“Steven Gerrard – Licensed to Shill”;
…and recoverable if he ever wants them back.

Stevie Gerrard is here for 8 and no more.

Listened to Radio 2 today as driving down South
Jeremy Vine show, interviewing a BBC journalist on Thorpe case
This journalist was excellent, and was part of BBC initial investigation team at time of the case, teare the corruption at the time of the Thorpe case to ribbons, this included the cover up within the BBC at the time, don’t know if they do iplayer, but well worth a listen
He quoted quite a few MPs all involved at time, and one who resigned on the day the case started, knocking trial off main news articles that day
Was on Just after mid-day
Incidentally the journalist also quoted the hand picked judge, for the verdict required
Reminded me of something else

Saturday coming should be a great day to remember Macanbheatha in his Short Strand fenian enclave of Saint Matthew Parish. How they brave bhoys fought.
Sean McVeigh Hero RIP

I listened to Jeremy Vine today also. Fascinating stuff.
Interesting how the establishment rallied around one of their own

Hope your MiL is still recovering positively
One other thing
I see a debate on video Celts, around giving some mob a 7000 ticket allocation to our stadium
They get same as any other club, no more no less

I would never listen to Vine if my life depended on it. You are much more Dub West Brit than I am Glaswegian North Brit.
Feck Brittania. ????

I met Campbell Ogilvie a few times, when my students were investigating the effects the Taylor Report may have on Scottish football stadia. He treated my students and I with the utmost respect; one may even say, dignity. He came across as a thoroughly nice chap

If you’re about pal……
Just watched Hunger. Wow.
I’d (wrongly) presumed more of the film’s tike would focus on the 66 days.
I think the film and documentary complement each other well and fit together. And I think you’ll end up watching them in the better order. Film followed by documentary.

She is still struggling.long road ahead to recovery (hopefully)

I like to listen to the BBC to keep up to date with news from the Mainland.
The native stations do their best but standards have dropped since we left the empire. Never get the cricket results and there was no coverage of the Chlesea Flower Show.
Strongly worded letter to the editor of the Times I think.
Norrie
Give them nothing. We take no doomdome tickets. They need the Old Firm fairy tale more than us. Hope they die soon. They are Scotland’s Shame. A feckin poison on our society.

Sorry I spotted your post and meant to respond. I will look out for 66 Days.
Would it be on Netflix (or is that a stupid question)
TONTINE TIM on 4TH JUNE 2018 9:50 PM
Nice to see you post.
Wits
I saw both on Netflix.
I often ask myself what person I’d have been had in been growing up there and then.
I found myself asking those questions so many times watching that film.
I wish all the v v best to your MIL.
Take care my Fhriend.

Kinglubo – keep it lit as somebody else might say.
This blog will be reduced to three posters and three moderators before long. Of course multi monikers are allowed in that case.
Let’s say for arguments sake we only give them 1000 tickets, at £49 a pop is £49.000 x 2 = £98.000… 7000 at £49 is £343.000 x 2 = £686.000, policing and admin costs would be the same, I wonder what our suits will do………..
Jamesgang
None of us know how we would have turned out if we grew up in those circumstances.
Hope all well with you and yours

My favourite bro in law mason, who is a lovely gentleman I like, tells me they meet to do charidee stuff.
Self serving charity work I tell him.
He justs smiles cos he knows I know.
All good and he is a great guy who supports a tribute act team, and he knows it.

Gary Hughes is a non executive SFA Board Director who saw nothing wrong with the way the SFA handled the various Rangers issues. He is no loss to us on the face of it. Whether he had a different opinion in private we don’t know. PL saw him as one of the good guys.
Anyway he’s gone and it’s a win for Comical Dave. I hope he’s left so that there can be no accusations of impropriety when the Euro license verdict is delivered and the hammer comes down.
Noe it will be interesting to see who will replace Hughes on the SFA Board. Perhaps that will be an indication as to where the balance of power lies.

Very funny. Blindingly accurate.
