McLeish frank admission, Aberdeen get it right. Will we?

1909

BBC’s series, Scotland’s Game, has become compulsive viewing. Tales of redemption for Celtic, Hearts and others, and tales of woe for some. Last night’s episode had a few remarkably frank admissions.

One which caught the eye was former-Rangers former-manager, Alex McLeish, who admitted his title winning team “would’ve been behind [Celtic]” had they not funded their squad through EBTs. We should all take note for when the Big Tax Case reaches the Supreme Court.

Pleased to see the appropriate amount of damage done to Rangers by majority owner and chairman, David Murray, was correctly attributed, with one or two character defects throw in for good measure by contributing journalist, Tom English.

Aberdeen have nailed their proverbial flag to the mast this week with the word, “No previous meeting found” on their fixture list comment on a forthcoming game against Newco. It’s a simple comment, it’s accurate, has been confirmed in writing by Uefa and will position the club shoulder-to-shoulder with their fans.

Get it right, Celtic.

  1. The thing that is always lost about the 1980 Cup Final….it was a fantastic game of football..

     

     

    I doubt there has ever been a better one for open play, excitement and missed chances.

    See you and the Toronto lawyer mhan covered the hope/opinion stuff.

     

     

    Back to yer Jeeves role!

  3. Reading back on the going/or not going next week,

     

    my simple view is if you go fine,if you dont go fine,

     

    no one has to justify their decision,

     

    me.i will be lying on a beach thousands of miles away so dont have to make that decision.

     

    not sure what i would have done to be honest

  4. What is the Stars on

    Cork Celt

     

     

    I remember that incident when you posted the Cork Brigade song

     

     

    Paul deleted right enough….probably because of references to Cork though and nothing else

  6. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    south of Tunis you mentioned in a post yeterday about Nick Peacock.

     

     

    I got to know Nick through Arthur Haggerty , the man who started the Wullie Molloy CSC.

     

     

    Nick was a great DJ at the Subclub in Jamaica Street . He didn’t speak between tracks , just played great music.

     

     

    It was an added bonus that he was Celtic fan and even more impressive was the fact he came fom a non Celtic supporting family.

    Please don’t leave the site as you say there are a lot of really good guys here , if anybody like me wants to listen to the Boys of Kilmichael you can get on you tube not worth losing a good poster for. Another place we visited on our trip over was Mullaghduff and the memorial to the two Brendan’s what the people there put up with is totally unbelievable for us over here. HH

  8. ROY CROPPIE this one changed my musical outlook forever when I saw it on Top of the Pops! My musical equivalent of watching us win the Big Cup!

     

     

    KTF and let all the children boogie!

  9. DALLAS DALLAS WHERE THE HECK IS DALLAS

     

     

    His brother was a massive bluenose, good boy though, I had many a great night with them two.

     

     

    I played a lot with Nick away back in the day, cracking guy, last game I was at with him was when we lost 5-1 at the dead teams dump, I had come down from Mull with no ticket and walked into Nick and he had a spare.

     

     

    Top Tim and Dj..

    Thank you that is appreciated. Had plenty of golfing trips to your neck of the woods and also 5 of us went to the St Pats European Cup Game and were regally entertained in the evenings by the Wolfe tonnes and Athenrye great trip HH

  15. Having a wee flounce for a week because he doesn’t want to read about his perceived so called martyrs but before he flounces off he just has to tell everyone. The irony of a Turkey’s leading up to Christmas.

     

     

    :@-)))))

     

     

    TURKEYBHOY on 2ND SEPTEMBER 2016 10:08 PM

     

    Ah well,Mrs TB will be happy.

     

     

    A weeks break from the blog,.No inclination to read about the “Martyrs”not going to support Celtic.

     

     

    Just why they need to keep repeating the same stuff is beyond me.I dont care if you never go back to see Celtic.Your loss.

    Remember being at a midweek game at Paradise when the stadium announcer transmitted the news very gleefully that a last minute goal had knocked Rangers1872-2012 out of Europe in an early round, to great cheers and chants.

     

     

    He got sacked!
