On signing from domestic rivals

816

There are limits to how far we can recruit from our domestic market and continue to prosper.  Martin O’Neill preferred to sign players his teams had faced, which meant Hibs and St Johnstone being plundered, eventually leading to decline.  Gordon Strachan enjoyed watching Hibs all his life; it showed in his Celtic signings.

Rumour has it when Jock Stein signed Willie Wallace from Hearts in 1966 his timing was determined by the need to deny a rival Wallace’ signature.  Neil Lennon should find it easy to compete with the likes of Derby County, if he is motivated to do so.

Enjoy the fantastic clips of Willie Wallace below from the 1960s.  You’ll have seen many before but the clip of him beating three Celtic defenders before scoring was new to me.  It might have been the goal which convinced Jock to move.

    Awe_Naw, if you’d written “FACT” instead of “NO DEBATE” after that last post it would have been no less believable.

    There is less and less talk about Murray as time goes by, in your opinion, will he be jailed in the near future?

     

     

    I’ve not really looked into Operation Hornet. I just pick up the stuff from CQN.

    thebhoywithmcgraininhisside, don’t get too excited. In the last three weeks charlotte has released sufficient evidence to have brought down a western democracy. The corruption exposed should have had an immediate impact. Why has it not?

     

     

    We live in Scotland, a home for the hun designed by the hun and only for the hun. I’m looking forward to getting to fu*k out of this country and both my kids are primed to do likewise, they can choose for themselves.

     

     

    I’ll miss the weather……………………Whaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

    Sir David Murray will die a Knight Of The Realm and it is right and fitting as me and my unfortunately for him well versed german son agree upon ;-)

    Petec, how you doing bro? Are you going to the next hootenanny? It might be a bit tight for me given the dates bobM is talking. I’ll be scunnered if it’s any later than 30th Sept.

    “Sir David Murray”

     

     

     

    There’s’ something about that that just doesn’t work. It’s probably because he’s as bent and conflicted as Campbell’s arab dagger.

     

     

     

    Hopefully he’ll go to jail and someone will “pump” the information out of him.

     

     

     

    No disrespect to cripples, but in the case of sdm I make an exception. He cant run so he cant hide.

     

     

    Get this crooked man behind bars.

  17. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo

     

     

    Well we live in hope he gets what he deserves in this life? or maybe he has been punished enough and Celtic can cruise off into the horizon. I can honestly say I don’t hate anyone, anymore. It is awe about Celtic from here on in, they have been put in their place and it happens to coincide when the Scottish game couldn’t get any lower (apart from Celtic and perhaps Hibs as they will start to bear fruits) the only way is up for Scottish Football, remember we were the best in Europe at one time, there is NOTHING new under the Sun.

     

     

    The Human Mind is the most amazing thing after all, you are very aware of that, I know.

     

     

    Neil, as PJ called it very early, is a very smart cookie. Dermot has definitely met his match with this manager IMO, he dare not lose him.

     

     

    Exciting times ahead for Celtic.

     

     

    The Rangers are unlikely to make it through another full season, we will, hopefully, be mixing with the finest European teams once again this Autumn.

     

     

    The Green Brigade must be protected from the backdraft of the huns dying, of course, but there is obviously a longer game going on here.

     

     

    Anyway sorry for Raving ON and Hail Hail m8.

     

     

    I always wished I’d went to the Mayday parades back in the 90s. I’m content I never did now because of Weishaupt and what I have subsequently learnt.

     

     

    Say a Big Hail Hail to your laddie, he has one of the finest teachers there in his auld fella.

    Happy Birthday also to Pedro, incidentally did you both decide to have challenging names for drunkards to type.

     

     

    I can’t remember the other song Pedro gave us but this one is Brilliant and so many Tims have smiled big style when hearing it. ;))

    Back from my listening. Unfortunately this device doesn’t let me do anything whilst I’m listening to good ole soundcloud.

     

     

    Firstly, you’re right, scotland is a corrupt place. But living in Belfast, I think I may have met a few funny ones before. But seriously get out while you can this sun can’t last!

     

     

    Second, they may get through this, but to do so, major tales will have to be told. And whilst they may work now, someone, somewhere, most unexpectedly will slip a step & like a finger withdrawn from a dutch lady, a torrent shall exude, so sayeth the lord £12k laird…

    A night off for a 70th wedding anniversary?! I remember when we had lick the cess pit clean, and pay the miller for the pleasure of working in his own mill…

    The British Royal Society should really interest your fine self.

     

     

    Anyway check out this website from very clever chaps, exactly like yourself and what they are saying.

     

     

    http://www.thebyteshow.com/CollinsBrothers.html

     

     

    I’ve got their book, “The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship: An Examination of Epistemic Autocracy, From the 19th to the 21st Century”.

     

     

    You are likely to scoff when I say that this book has went missing, I think I have checked everywhere but it has simply disappeared.

     

     

    I listened to this audio from that website yesterday…. http://www.thebyteshow.com/Audio/Collins/PhillipDCollins_SocialControl_TBS.mp3

     

     

    Even Auldheid will be thinking more after listening to it after what they speculate about the Pharisees.
