We all know Craig Whyte doesn’t get nearly enough credit for the wonderful job he is doing for Scottish football but his cause was not helped by rookie manager, Ally McCoist, who when asked today if Nikica Jelavic asked to leave Rangers said, “No he didn’t, not at all. I have a wonderful relationship with Nikica. He never said that.”
The Rangers manager then passed the buck onto the unfairly beleaguered club owner, telling STV, “We received a bid from Everton which Craig [Whyte] found acceptable. Therefore business was done.”
McCoist refused to take a manager’s responsibility for deciding who leaves the football club. Craig Whyte made it clear to all concerned yesterday that Nikica Jelavic wanted to leave Rangers and there was no point keeping a player who didn’t want to be there. Whyte needs the backing of everyone with the best interests of Scottish football at heart, including his manager. The intrusive scrutiny he has been placed under in recent months will not help him achieve his objectives.
Whyte hasn’t put a foot wrong so far, we should all mind our own business and let him get on with his job. Eye on the prize, Craig.

Morning folks, its certainly a cold one today.I too believe this game is vital.We MUST be focused and keep winning,..one game at a time.Any slip ups will take the medias eyes away from the troubles at debt mountain.
Keep our eyes on the prize, be focused and if all goes well, this season will be in history as one of the greatest.
………IMAGINE WE DO THE TREBLE, AND THEY GO TITS UP!!!!
My team for today :

The Orc support anger is split in many directions…
Anger vented in all directions depending on the individual Orc opinion…
At Minty
At Whyte
At Lloyds
At keevins
At the Record
At The Sun
At Bain
At Paul Murray
At our Phil
At our Paul
At HMRC
At alistar Johnston
At ally McCoist
At opposing opinioned fellow orcs
At the SFA
At UEFA
At jelavic
At John greig
At Murray international
At many many many many people!
But I tell you what … Split focus is unproductive
Cue ‘Lennon says we don’t need a strong rangers ‘
Cue ‘ally tells Lennon to mind his own business’
Today’s headlines….
Where will their anger be completely directed?
Lenny… Don’t fall for this propaganda , the whole response to the question has been put to the Orc support in a way that it wasn’t meant.
They have now put you in a dangerous position when you think of an orcs mindset.
I hate the media!
I really really do
Was it definitely C…G B…..Y that Lenny was having a dig at…..I know he’s favourite as he has a dig almost every time he opens his mouth, but I don’t remember hearing or reading anything this week.
John Collins was on Talksport on Wednesday with Super Hun and Hun Lite (Gray and Keys)…and although I never heard all of the interview it wouldn’t surprise me if JC had said this as a dig about the standard of SPL.

I must invite youfor a beer or ten in Kilwinning’s more salubrious establishments next time I’m up.
We can double-team and switch the serve/volley role.
If you can do it with two unfortunates you stumbled upon by chance,just think of the fun you could have when you know your audience in advance!

Good post , well pointed out….the media agenda to unify the Orcs focus of hatred , anger and bile on Neil once again is disgusting.
Morning all and lets hope for a highland fling today..
Re the press. I think we are in for a period of anti Celtic on a grand scale ..
Those Celtic minded who would have access to said media should put our case at all times and not fall for the loaded questions..
Spin is the order of the day..
Herald sport by messrs Grant& MacPherson sees fit to lead with a big split pic .. Half Neil half fatSally.. Guess what.. Neil looks steely Sally looks smug – what I mean is They make Neil look ” in yer face” as they like to portray him..
Moreover 2 quotes.. Both attributed to Neil
he told Smith to “mind his own business when he talked about Celtic”
And “I have sympathy for Ally but Rangers brought these problems on themselves”
In my eyes all this is to portray Celtic and Neil in bad light to turn The anger of the poverty stricken Mob away from the sources and onto Us at Celtic..
Beware.. Last season from now till May the media had a massive role in anti Celtic anti Neil propaganda .. Culminating in Neil being attacked at his place of work, terrifying and evil..
The press is getting nasty.. Pandering as always to Them..
Fight our corner Celtic.!!!

I never liked league until I moved out here, but got to say the State of Origin series are like Celtic v Rangers games. My boy has a season ticket for the Bronco’s though I’m not that smitten yet. Never thought I’d take to cricket either but over the years that has me hooked too. I agree, league is for nutters, lost the plot nutters, but still, I much prefer Union.

don’t agree with giggsybhoy

“Kilwinning’s more salubrious establishments.”
Do they sell drink in the police station?

Yer mental.
A good mental though:-)
blantyretim,
I’m glad to hear that, but did he remember to buy his round?
Take a wee adventure into the Orc sites and see their response to lennys comments..
Absolutely frightening!
Talk of attacks
Talk of hate
Talk of wishes of harm
Everything!
This is a horrible wee country to the core!
If you go there remember to wipe your feet on the way out

as I said nothing has changed so it cost me a fortune…. o))
He did meantion his last email to you….
Burley has clearly modelled himself on Andy Gray, but he’s managed to produce some buffoonish version.
I recall his early critique on Izaguirre, whose name he struggled to pronounce then dismissed as it didn’t matter anyway cos he had never heard of him.
Two months later he was reporting what a great player he was, and how he had kept a close eye on him during the World Cup.
Embarrassing.

not at all mate, the times i’ve seen JC lately on panels, he’s spoke very highly of Neil and what the bhoys are doing.
As for the other fud……i’m not going there, i’m in too good a mood.

I think most would like to see Pawel get a game today, but I don’t think it’s a game for putting on the jersey for the first time.
Five men in the middle and one up front

All it would take is the club who are in the relegation spot to say no chance and invoke the SPL’s own rules.
I still can’t see a newco being up and running before the start of the season.
It will end up in court, make my words on that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How do I know?
Tony Hamilton has just tweeted that he run into Ian Crocker there (a commentator who I actually like). Ian has just reminded him of ICT’s previous victories against us in cup competition. I wonder how many times that’ll be mentioned this afternoon…

Your brother will either be known to me,or a recluse. That description sums up most of the Tims in the town-which,btw,is nowhere near as bad as it’s reputation.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,haha!
Off to the pub,just putting some tinnies in the beer fridge to keep them warm.
Back for the football,so fingers crossed…..

Calum Murray today and Gollum on wednesday, chance for the brothers to scupper the treble.
Edge up Celtic big time.
Pauloantony…..Excellent and very perceptive post imo.

Ernie lynch…
The talk of the NEED to have the orcs in the SPL regardless amazes me
The constant reason being spurted out…
WE NEED THEM FOR THE SKY TV MONEY !
As I said last night
In view of sporting integrity.. What would happen if…
They have a howling season…
And Finish bottom of the league on merit..??
Because of the sky money do we…
Relegate the team above rangers
Or not allow the first division winners up?

To accomodate the five in the middle we need to go with the one up front. You know Butcher will have them playing nasty and I think Anton can mix it up with the nasties, wheras Hooper does not have that side to him.

EMBDY UP FUR A SWEEP TO SEE HOW OFTEN THON TOOL CROCKER MENTIONS ICT`S PREVIOUS CUP VICTORIES
everytime we play a cup gam ethe same bull is trotted out

Within the first 4 seconds of kick off for the first and a grand total of 53

Look forward to Dundee utd’s public slaughter of them when they don’t recieve half the gate money out, half of whatever it is!
Can they pay wages if the knuckledraggers don’t show?
