Miku, Lassad and Ambrose need to stretch legs

If you are going to Celtic Park tomorrow you will see a lot of photos like the one above.  Outside the ground 200 bucketeers will be collecting to raise money to send Oscar Knox for treatment for neauroblastoma.

Be prepared.  Bring spare cash with you, have it ready and do your bit for Oscar.

For the second week in a row we take on the team at the bottom of the table; see how that worked out last week.  After an awful August which saw Dundee’s return to the SPL marked with one point and no goals scored from four games, they picked up three points at Tynecastle before losing a lead late in the game against Motherwell last weekend.  Manager Barry Smith will have watched how St Johnstone went about their business six days ago and will believe his team can nick something at Celtic Park.

Neil Lennon (and some of us) will welcome the drop in intensity from Wednesday’s Champions League tie as Celtic are likely to give game time to those who joined the club three weeks ago.  Miku, Lassad and Ambrose all need to stretch their legs.

Big shout again for the guys raising money for Celtic Youth Development through TicPick.  It’s £1 to enter and you win £1000 for predicting 10 results.  I’ve gone for Celtic to beat Dundee, West Ham to beat Sunderland, Aberdeen and Motherwell to draw, Man City to beat Arsenal, St Mirren to beat Killie, Dundee United to beat Hearts, Man Utd to beat Liverpool, Hibs to beat Inverness, Chelsea to beat Stoke and Spurs to beat QPR.

    How convenient that your memory plays tricks on you…

     

     

    You were one of a couple of posters….

     

     

    Who a couple of months back….

     

     

    Just after midnight…..

     

     

    Decided to criticise Kojo….. apropos nothing….

     

     

     

    He had logged off some time previously…

     

     

    And had not made any contentious comment in recent times….

     

     

     

    I had not been on the blog,but decided to make a general post….

     

     

    Supportive of Kojo….

     

     

    Not referring to his individual critics…

     

     

    You had said that the young girl had made the comment ‘in your class’….

     

     

    And you ‘corrected’ her….

     

     

     

    In the past,you have variously described yourself as a ‘teaching assistant’ and a primary school teacher….

     

     

    Hypocrisy and Double Standards….

     

     

    Get My Goat….

     

     

    Right…?

  3. Singing Detective Demands…

     

     

    You’re full of shite. I asked you to reply in 5 minutes and you’ve had 15, and failed. If I said the things you accused me of, you should have them to hand.

     

     

    I’ve never posted that Kojo is a racist and a bigot. But if I have, please post the link, or the cached page, I’m sure you’ve saved it so that you wouldn’t be seen to be making false accusations.

     

     

    As it happens, I think Kojo did make racist and bigoted statements, and I applaud the poster[s] who called him out on it. (More than one Poster, I bet). Of course, we haven’t heard from Kojo for a while. Or Mabel, or Fargo, or…yawn.

     

     

    Are you related to Fortunes Favour Mibbes by any chance? He seems to have a problem with multi-user-name-merchants. In that he sees things that don’t exist. A bit like you, accusing me of posts I didn’t make.

    Night Celtic pals everywhere.

     

    Especially Sydney tim

     

    My posts last week were complete nonsense.

     

    Total misunderstanding on my part.

    Hope to see both Ambrose and Lassad on the field tomorrow. Hope not to see wee jamesey, he needs a rest for his own good and a benching, and a right good talking to by NFL………………………and maybe a kick up his starfish.

     

     

    Next time out I expect better of the wee baby face assassin. Much better.

  6. Singing Detective,

     

     

    your reply crossed mine, so I’ll give you credit for replying, better late than never.

     

     

    Unfortunately, everything you’ve said is rubbish. Unless your recall of what I’ve said is better than mine. And you’re not my wife. Links and proof, otherwise you’re just throwing unwarranted abuse at someone you disagree with. I’m going to bed now so you;’ve all night to trawl your archives of whatever.

  7. Is is eye-talics or italics?

     

     

    Really looking forward to collection tomorrow, you’ll be even closer wee Oscar.

    SUNSPORT has seen documentary evidence that Hampden bosses asked Rangers to accept the loss of FIVE league titles and FOUR Scottish Cups.

     

     

    The draft papers were given to Gers chief executive Charles Green at a top-secret summit this summer.

     

     

    Top brass wanted Green to accept “EBT sanctions” in return for newco Gers getting the chance to be parachuted into Division One.

     

     

    The package of punishments — instantly REJECTED by Green — would have stripped Gers of NINE major trophies won between 2001 and 2011.

     

     

    They were NOT asked to give up any of their League Cup wins. Details of the offer, made during discussions involving Green, the SPL, SFA, SFL and administrators Duff and Phelps, emerged last night.

     

     

    Had Green accepted the EBT sanctions, he’d have agreed to “(i) the withdrawal from Rangers FC, RFC and Sevco of the award and status of Champion Club (as defined in SPL Rules) of the Scottish Premier League for each and all of Seasons 2002/03, 2004/05, 2008/09, 2009/10 and 2010/11; (ii) the withdrawal from Rangers FC, RFC and Sevco of the award and status of winner of the Scottish Cup for each and all of Seasons 2001/02, 2002/03, 2007/08 and 2008/09”.

     

     

    Among a list of “Agreements and Undertakings” which Green was asked to accept were: “(i) accept and agree to be bound by each and all of the EBT Sanctions; (ii) the SFA and the SPL agree that no further sanctions will be imposed with respect to or concerning the EBT Payments and Arrangements; and (iii) RFC and Sevco shall not directly or indirectly make any claim and/or representation to have won any of the Championships and/or Cups which are the subject of any and all of the EBT Sanctions”.

     

     

    It’s understood Green rejected the offer of EBT sanctions as Gers have still to be found guilty of any misuse of the Trusts. An independent commission appointed by the SPL will begin a hearing on November 13 regarding the alleged undisclosed payments.

     

     

    HMRC is expected to announce the findings of its first-tier tribunal hearing on the EBTs within weeks.

     

     

    Gers have already refused to co-operate with the former hearing.

     

     

    And Green is facing an SFA charge of bringing the game into disrepute after claiming the process was “fundamentally misconceived”.

     

     

    The leaked papers appear to add weight to Green’s assertion that a range of penalties have been considered before any guilt is proved.

     

     

    SunSport has also seen an exchange of correspondence between HMRC and the SPL dating back to October and November 2010. Yet there was no official Hampden probe into Gers’ use of Trusts until earlier this year.

     

     

    But with Green having already threatened to take his case to law, the emergence of the secret documents shows stripping of titles has been on the Hampden agenda since the close-season.

     

     

    Earlier this month, Green said: “The club cannot continue to participate in an SPL process we believe is fundamentally misconceived.”

  14. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    It breakes my heart that masons and their benevolant dictatior philosophy, are given so much freedom to undermine what is essentially a consensus.

     

    They sympathise with old testament traditions of eye for eye, yet call themselves Christian, the Jews and Islamists do eye for eye, the Christians SAID NO, yet we have among us people who claim to be Christian telling us Judeaism and Islam are correct, the savegry of eye for eye politics is the true message of the CHRIST our saviour.

     

    So letsget this right,

     

    Judeasim preached the original message that retribution is the only option available to mankind.

     

    The Christ came along and rejected that philosophy, so much he never referred to the old testament,this is a new book, the new teatament. LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR.

     

    Obviously the world could not be manipulated if such a philosophy was accepted, so the perversion started, to the extent that a new religon was needed to shadow the eye for eye philosophy, Judeasim and Islam are the same savage and Christians like our capitalists kiss the masonic penny that made Islam an angry bunny.

  15. Not sure what to read from that statement.

     

    Has it been leaked prior to the case just to give credence for green to back his statements that the outcome was prejudged.

     

    Msm at it again.

     

    Away to my bed knowing the rats will prob escape the sewer.hh

    LAWWELL-REID-REGAN LINK CLAIMS IGNORED BY BBC AND ALEX THOMSON

     

     

    TWO television reporters seem to have spent the last few months on the trail of alleged misdeeds by Rangers.

     

     

    Yet they continue to ignore another trail. They both continue to turn a blind eye to where another trail may lead. They seem to be unwilling to attempt to follow another trail.

     

     

    Perhaps BBC Scotland’s Mark Daly and Channel Four’s prancing potroon of a poseur Alex Thomson would care to make public why they give every indication of not being interested in exploring the leads of this other story.

     

     

    Or perhaps they won’t. Perhaps they will continue to ignore the tale for fear of any trail they follow, and any information they may uncover, leading to Parkhead.

     

     

    And on beyond the entrance to where Celtic play and into the office of Celtic chief executive, Peter Lawwell and then on to the very heart of the club, the Parkhead boardroom.

     

     

    The accusations have so far been confined to the internet and fans’ websites. But that was the initial source of wild allegations levelled against Rangers. The allegations which BBC Scotland’s Mark Daly and Channel Four’s Alex Thomson became so interested in.

     

     

    To be fair to the BBC man, at least Mark Daly took up that challenge and unearthed some facts and figures which had previously remained semi hidden.

     

     

    These related to Craig Whyte and may have had a greater impact when they were first broadcast last October, had Daly been more thorough in his questioning and followed his initial probes with supplementary questions.

     

     

    But he left gaping holes in his programme which – along with BBC Scotland’s reputation for being anti Rangers – helped get conman Craig Whyte off the hook until some real old fashioned reporting by a real old fashioned reporter, the Daily Record’s Jim Traynor, completely exposed Craig Whyte as a liar, a cheat and a conman.

     

     

    But at least Daly followed that trail when it first appeared on the internet. Why won’t he do the same with some of the allegations which claim there are links which connect Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell and Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan?

     

     

    Claim that there are links which stretch back to before Stewart Regan first appeared from out of nowhere to take control of the Scottish Football Association.

     

     

    Plus further allegations of a link between the man who was Celtic chairman at the time of Regan arriving, the Baron Reid of Cardowan, his family and the firm who head hunted Stewart Regan for the Scottish Football Association.

     

     

    Surely this sort of trail is one to whet the appetite of any investigative reporter. Especially ones with the sort of resources which are the disposal of Mark Daly at BBC Scotland and Alex Thomson at Channel Four?

     

     

    And if not, why not?

     

     

    My personal choice between Daly and Thomson would be the BBC Scotland man, despite what appears to be a partiality for Celtic and an antagonism towards Rangers.

     

     

    For he is at least a half decent reporter and at least he has not endorsed a book written by a man who the Sun says is tarnished by the brush of bigotry, while Alex Thomson’s journalistic credentials and credibility now lie in tatters after he wrote the foreword for the book, after accusing Strathclyde police of being corrupt, just because they could find no evidence to support his wild fantasises that I had physically threatened him.

     

     

    No, I wouldn’t trust Alex Thomson to be aware of the significance of a terrific wee tale in the papers this week about a dog which shot – that’s right, shot – a man.

     

     

    He’d be too busy prancing like a poltroon and posing, while trying to figure out how he could place himself at the centre of the story, to be bothered with getting the facts of the tale.

     

     

    So it is up to BBC Scotland’s Mark Daly to start following the trail of clues and leads and seeing if it is possible to join them and expose a real scandal in Scottish football.

     

     

    It is up tgo Mark Daly to discover if Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell and the previous Celtic chairman, Thye Baron Reid of Cardowan, had any input, any influence, in Stewart Regan being appointed as the chief executive of the Scottish Football Association.

     

     

    Of course, as you read this, it may very well be that BBC Scotland’s chief investigative reporter, Mark Daly, is already hot on the trail, having been sent on the scent by his boss at BBC Scotland News, Celtic supporting Dermot O’Hara.

     

     

    That could be the case. Couldn’t it?

  19. 001:

     

     

    Whatever happened, happened. It’s in the past. Alan Thompson should be remembered for all the years of hard service and his goals as opposed whatever.

     

     

    He sure didn’t hesitate at Tynecastle.
