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.

    No idea why you think I can disclose that information. I suggest you email Paul67, if you’re using the same pc/laptop/fancyphone, I imagine he’ll be able to remind you. Good luck with your research.

  4. Am I the only one unnerved by my new blog name…..I should learn to chill….;-))

    I did used to post under Jimbo67 until the end of last year. I have now reregistered under my own name. I used to enjoy this blog but as there are tits like you out there my return will be brief.

  6. Scottish media mafia will just say that is merely opinion from McLeish and holds no sway in any arguement.

    Was in after sheep game. Pretty sure a guy announced it was next open after Kilmarnock game. Prob loads of corporate for sevco.

     

    However I might be mistaken so maybe worth a call.

     

     

    Saw phil s site had photo of sevco with flute band. Wondered if the player on the extreme left was Michael o’ Halloran.

  8. When i was in the Kerrydale before the Aberdeen game they announced it would not be opening before the Glasgow Derby.

  9. Sipsini

     

     

    I don’t think the Kerrydale is open on Saturday as Celtic have classed it as a ‘high risk’ game. I saw it being discussed on Twitter last week.

    Most Americans can’t spot a fraud like Donald Trump. It’s all about TV.

     

     

    40% of Americans thing Donald trumps parents may have had a similar history as Batmans.

     

    Made me laugh

    Got that. Good you’re posting again, the blog needs a variety of opinions. Don’t let anything I type dissipate your fun here.

     

     

    I’m heading to Celtic Park on Saturday and expect to conclude that Scott Brown was the best player in midfield. Maybe even I’ll be holding a majority opinion. That’d be good.

  12. HT,

    We’re saying nothing else just now mate. We’re meeting tomorrow so may have more to say after that.

  14. Cheers for the replies re the Kerrydale, most appreciated.

     

     

    Just want my bhoy safe and sound next week, as I reckon we will pump thems.

     

     

    I’ve been on the end of it and know what unhappy hun monkeys are like, especially if your outnumbered. HH

  15. Look forward to shit stories about the dead Rangers and their 9-in-row and positive interviews with their players from then will appear in the Record this week in the lead up to the game.

  16. thetimreaper - Lord Nimmo Smith enquiry was a sham never forget it on

    Yes that’s O’Halloran on the left of the photo on Phil’s blog.

     

     

    Cant see Barton in that photo but saw him in others. Bit of an odd tweet from him yesterday seemingly trying to distance himself from the goings on. I’ve a funny feeling he will blow the lid on that lot when he’s done with them.

  17. Dalriada St the Google map right on.i should have known were it was.worked with a couple of guys in the Gas Board. Old Dalmarnock Rd. I’m sure there was a railway line at the back of the houses. It’s a car park now. Celtic charge 5 pounds on match days.but it’s absolutely murder getting away from the game.if only them railway lines were kept it sure would help ease the horrific traffic problems on match days.

  18. Guy Fawkes

     

     

    No bother. Bit touchy these days. Got fed up before with some folk hiding behind aliases to say some stuff they would never say under their own name hence the own name.

     

     

    And I like Broony . Usually!

  19. Saw headline in Record about Rodgers looking forward to the Old Firm game. On reading article noticed that he did not use the OF words.

  20. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Scoddland are mince

     

    Mince made from Spam:)

     

    Its hard to believe they are professionals.

     

    Shocking team.

  21. Timreaper – Barton has a book coming out. In my opinion it’s a big part of why he signed for them. Bigger profile playing for them than burnley.

     

     

    I suspect you’re right about what he might do when he leaves.

     

     

    He’s mental but he’s not stupid.

    !!BADA BING!! on 4TH SEPTEMBER 2016 8:37 PM

     

    Is Burke £15 mil better than Forrest or Sevco’ s Mackay?

     

     

    A two part answer to your question:

     

     

    No and Yes.-))

  23. COPACETIC…

     

     

    I was going use the nickname the huns I work with call me as my moniker… Don’t reckon Paul 67 would allow it ;))

     

     

    Nice change on your moniker. HH

    Cheers, I just follow the blog protocol of using monikers. My given name is john patrick joseph meechan. Worst that can happen is I’m outed in the community as a fenian. D’oh.

     

     

    That’s what happened last year when the Sunday Herald advert was a goer. Not allowed in the Ettrick anymore.

  25. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Ron Bacardi

     

     

    Doubt we will be allowed to score five against Sevco.

     

    Police Scotland will probably be in at CP tomorrow warning the players not to play to well against Sevco….In case they go mental and batter the whole of Scotland:)

     

    We wont be allowed to play.

    Don’t use the old firm stick to hit Brendan, I am sure he is looking forward to it whether we accept it or not, by the there are loads of Celtic fans who can’t wait for this new fixture
