You all think you’re so smart, smugly laughing at the outcome of a game in a tournament you didn’t even know existed until recently. Let me tell you, yesterday’s defeat of Newco Rangers was nothing short of calamitous for the road I hoped the club would take.
Ally McCoist is crucial to all the things I hope happens to Newco in the years to come. He alone can deliver the hilarity waiting for when his team face full time footballers every week. Who else could spend so much yet produce so little? Who else would have the sheer brass neck to demand such a salary, even if partially deferred, in order to endorse the spivs as suitable recipients of season ticket money? This guy is unique and of immeasurable value.
Yesterday’s defeat fundamentally weakens his position. What now when, in true Rangers tradition, he stands in front of this year’s AGM thanking ‘yous’ for being the cream in his doughnut? Will they still cheer at being patronised like applauding seals completely lacking in self-awareness?
Mark my words, anything which undermines McCoist is unwelcome. A Ramsden’s Cup win would allow him to claim as much credit as he could waddle off with and would have upset no one. They had a party at Ibrox planned, like it was 1975 all over again. The humiliation must be significant.
The way forward for Newco Rangers is to put pressure on their board to release badly needed funds for the manager to spend in the hope of winning promotion from the Championship next season.
A word for Raith Rovers and their chairman Turnbull Hutton. It was a Raith Rovers director who sat across the table from one of the Rangers clubs (I’ve lost track) to judge their failure to dispense their tax and other duties during season 2011-12. McCoist then publicly demanded to know the names of the panel members.
It was Raith’s Starks Park ground which needed 24 hour security after receiving a threat to burn it to the ground following McCoist’s outburst. Turnbull Hutton stood firm and was one of the voices which ensured the rules were applied as they stood.
Seville – The Celtic Movement
“Going into the second leg, it was all in Liverpool’s favour and on paper it was Celtic’s toughest test. That wasn’t to be the case though as Celtic achieved a very comfortable 2-0 at Anfield. Both goals were superb to top a fantastic victory. A low free kick from Alan Thompson and a wonderful strike from John Hartson were the difference in this game. Celtic went through to the semi-final 3-1 on aggregate.”

Pardon?
Backslapping? I said I’ve never met Parkheadcumsalford just that he’s certainly not a Hun.
What has my profession got to do with any of this?

You go figure it out, it shouldn’t be too hard. I’m not getting into an argument over this, so I suggest you read all 3 posts again, otherwise I got nothing more to add.
Hail hail!
Absolute fec*ing disaster just remembered The walking dead series 4 ended last week? Ahhhh sh**e; I guess I am going to have to make do with the much funnier Sevco version until series 5 starts.
However on the up side the new series of Game of Thrones starts tonight (hurrah) also ‘From Dusk to Dawn’ looks watchable, 3 episodes so far and much better fare than the normal B/S teenage Vampire tv series currently being aired. Seems to be fairly close to Tarantino’s cult movie -lots of blood and gore . Also for those who like Sci fi the series ‘Helix’ is well worth a watch. For those who enjoy good cop / bad cop show with a twist combined with huge dollops of gratuitous sex and violence in equal measures I recommend ‘Banshee’

Just so you know…
There are many at Murray Park who would not be at all sorry to see the back of Super Salary. Some names might surprise you. Or maybe not?

Do you not think you are being a bit unfair? I post often about fitba related subjects.
Also on fitba I learn much more than I could input as there is so much knowledge on this site and I am never short of amazement at the memory’s of some posters. Remarkable they are.
There are many subjects such as black puddings, travel, IT, Cuba, Russia, Eastern Europe. music, opera
and farming as only some examples. Have a look at today’s posts.
I reckon if we posted only about Celtic we would soon be bored at the long times between posts, and I say that as a lurker. I lurk much more than I post.
I hope this helps but you can do what I do and scroll past the posters you don’t want to read: and that’s not too difficult to do.

Yup. Public life in NI is hardly the most savoury.
On the plus side. In my lifetime I can remember when there would have been no government funding for the Irish language let alone additional funding.
One of the biggest problems relating to your part of the world is that too many, perhaps conveniently, have bought into the idea that everything has been hunky dory since the Good Friday Agreement.
Mind you it doesn’t help when people like Adams and McGuiness give it the old ‘we knew nothin’ line’.

Spurs 0 Sunderland 1
Hibs 0 Aberdeen 1
Can’t stand Catermole but that was some goal he scored for Sunderland.
Bada b…

Scotland wasn’t used as a testing ground for the poll tax.
And the reason it was abolished because of the organised campaigns against it, north and south of the border, culminating in the riot in Trafalgar Square.
It was a class conflict, not a national one.
Incidentally wasn’t the poll tax part of the economic side of Thatcherism that Salmond said the nats didn’t mind so much?
IF…….and I mean if…….we were to lose VVD in the summer….we could do worse than to sign Wes Brown…….very cool customer is young Wes…….bet Moyes wishes he still had him

Can anyone give me the (short) odds on a Dundee Utd player being red carded and sevco getting a penalty from brother madden on Sat?
looked for same this morning. all I found was 7/2 for a penalty scored in 90mins either team, and 12/1 awarded and missed again 90mins, Paddy Power.
Hibs-Aberdeen game being refereed by Madden
Just let 3 consecutive fouls go
Comms refer his “laissez-faire” approach. We’ll see how that pans out on Saturday.
….and Shirley Sevco have someone better than Mohsni…….even a 16 year old……anybody……which begs the question…..what kind of hold do the players HAVE over swally? Sumfin jist disny add upp rer…..

It was she who must be obeyed that found it on earlier and taped it.
Agree re.Banshee but dont think it needed a second season.
Desmond Kane now airing his views on Leigh……..that coriander soup tastes lovely….hey wee Pat any chance o another ladle fae
For those asking about card markets in the DU v Sevco tie.
I regularly use PPower and that firm do not put up cards and corner markets till much nearer the time, usually the day before.
…….in fact……I could play better than Mohsni……and I’m past the 35 year mark….
Re TV series worth a watch ‘Turn’ could be worth a watch if your into historical dramas. Set during the American war of Independence and involves spies and ‘ye olde style’ espionage
justafan I’ve heard a similar story Ref: Elbows,many monthsago. He and his “gang” think Steakbake is a joke. Could be some discontent in the dressing room??? Hail Hail Hebcelt
That Danny Rose is a wee prick…
Celtic Celtic, that’s the team for me
Celtic Celtic onto Victory
Hail Hail
Fairs fair.
posted yesterday that Clancy would capitulate and give them the expected penalty.
The guy didn’t and (in relative terms) did well.
Dj67YNWA,
I don’t wish to get into an argument with you. What I objected to was your assertion that the singing o of Rudi Skachel is a refugee is water off a duck’s back to you. That is simply indefensible for any Celtic supporter, imo, no matter their circumstances. Br Walfrid called us Celtic to breakdown barriers in Scotland and make all welcome, not just Irish immigrant Catholics.

Sorry disagree, any chance to see the ‘bad bad’ Armish girl get her kit off on a regular basis is excuse enough in my book for a 2nd 3rd and 4th season.

I know there are other factors at play here but have a look at madden’s number here
He barely awards a foul never mind gives cards

Been watching Banshee since it started, there’s a new series out called true detective and I’ve just started watching it thanks to James Forrest’s recommendations, it could be as good as Breaking Bad or sons of anarchy.
Be safe out there and HH
Hibs currently doing their best to ensure there will be an Edinburgh Derby next season. 1 down but Aberdeen have hit the post twice in the last few minutes.
……n Lennon’s aff tune….
Was just about to post how awful Aberdeen are and wondering how on earth they managed to beat us twice…but in the last 10 minutes they’ve ripped the Hibees apart, though not scored another!
PS: now Hibs … they really are awful lol
