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. Beatbhoy,

     

    Read reviews on both, wasn’t sure as I’ve found previous books by both to be less than satisfying. Will take another look.

    Dalriada Street follows the curve of the old Rangers End pretty much but you are right it did and does run into Kinloch St which is the street perpendicular with London Road.

    i like Broony but he is limited. However I have always thought the team plays better with him in it. He is not what I would think of a Celtic style midfielder a la Murdoch, Auld, Burns , McStay or Charlie Gallagher but we live in an era when such players are thin on the ground everywhere .

  7. You have to change your “nickname” then after that change your “Display name Publicly as”

    Hope you and family are well. I read Nemesis when it came out and thought it was better than most of the Roth books since I Married a Communist.

    Simple process; see above for an example.

    Young Tierneys early days (might have been Fenerbache in the EL) Broony in the first 10mins got the ball and headed to the left back area to give young Kieran a touch about 3 or 4 times …. We have a great captain who gets us, a bit of an eijit at times (Neymar) but who isn’t :-)

    Easy fix …. leave as it is, for the record we know your not lurking :-)

    Any update on the darts ?

  12. Jimbo, Good to see you back on the blog. Hope all’s well with you & Sis. Daughter got married recently, she & hubby coming up from London next week to the Sevco game. Do you need a ticket for that? Must admit I’m torn about attending this one.

     

    Think your Mum & Dad were fans of Roth.

  13. Rubicon

     

     

    Both pretty heavy subject matter, so maybe ‘enjoyed’ the wrong word, though Amis injects very dark humour throughout.

     

     

    Pretty sure I’ll enjoy your recommendation, as I like Le Carre’s Cold War stuff.

     

     

    Though Blake didn’t really come in from the cold, did he?

     

     

    Suppose I’ll find out!

  14. Gerryfaethebrig

     

     

    That Neymar incident was a real low in his Celtic career and he has let himself down throughout his career doing daft things. Never made a mistake myself of course!

    I am getting old- starting making enquiries about drawing on a pension from a previous employer as I am now 55!

     

     

    Liz is off to Spain and I am looking after her dug. She is now a granny- wee Luca was 2 the other week! Your daughtet ages with Vinnie of course!

     

     

    My mum was a huge fan of Roth – I could never come clean and admit I did not like My Life as a Man! My dad liked the early stuff but by 89 he was more of a LeCarre man!

    Off the Edinburgh Rd, next to ma auld school, St. Gregory’s.

     

     

    Of course I was too young then to be acquainted wi’ the demon drink!
