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.”

‘Br Walfrid called us Celtic to breakdown barriers in Scotland and make all welcome, not just Irish immigrant Catholics.’

There’s no evidence to support that claim. It’s just a suggestion by, I think, Brian Wilson and McNee. Again, from memory, it’s rejected by Walsh and Campbell.
Not that I’m disagreeing with your general argument regarding Griffiths.
New Raith Rovers song for next season?
“Not by the the Hearts, the Hibs, or the the R*ngers
We shall not be moved…
We shall not – We shall not …”
You know the rest

What’s the attendance look like? I know of only one Hibs guy that’s going to the game.
I think Phil tells it how it is. I do not castigate those who think otherwise.

I posted earlier that is though lg was stuped but there worse things he could have sung. I accept that within context others may disagree, but do we want to finish someones career over this. It was a single episode. Give him one more chance.
Hi all, not having had a drink for 28 days 22 hours and 15 mins approximately, I thought I might put newly resurrected neurons to solving the Leigh Griffith’s conundrum. (I wonder if that is similar to a lambegdrum?)
Anyway I may have found the perfect way to resolve the fug of confusion that conceals the way to an enlightened future for just about everyone involved…….as a punishment laced with a substantial flavour of rehabilitation AND self-interest, Celtic should lend Leigh out to Hearts for the first part of the upcoming season
…with the stipulation that he must play against the Kinning Park kidologists.
Maybe I should hit the bottle again!!
Hail hail

prestonpans…
Maybe…7000…?
Gonna tempt fate here……posted before that I asked Lenny who he thought was our best player…(couple of years ago) and he said Ki…….still….to this day…don’t see what’s special about him…
It never ceases to amaze me,how sneaky that Daily Reprobate shower can be.
Conniving.
They even dug up an old quote from Lenny,stating that the club has a zero tolerance policy in relation to matters such as racism.
LG has let the club down badly,there is no two ways about it.
No way would I sack him though.
Let the Daily Reprobate scream blue murder from now to next year.
That rag must not be allowed to dictate to our magnificent football.
Fine the player,ban him for a few games,send him to a hypnotist even…but he should not be dismissed – only if it is just to spite that shower of poisonous,anti-Celtic fools whom masquerade as impartial sports journalists.
What concerns me more is this – When is our club going to take action against the rag and their hateful agenda?
Every single day they are at it…they are relentless.
F them.
That’s what I say.

Struggle on bud, its total class…

Now that was funny. And pointed.
Hope your health improves enough for you to enjoy a drink again, if that is what you want.

We had this debate on here before and it was one of the more cerebral ones. The CORRECT title is an “occupied 6 county “fry.
In the 9 counties potato bread and soda bread are not part of the deal ,as such,whatever concoction they serve up falls outside the Fry genre.
Having said that a few posters from far and near gave me an extensive list of places to be visited to sample their wares.
Anyody that hasn’t listened to the TSFM podcast in which…
“David Low (*) represents a highly significant component of the history of Celtic FC and consequently a highly significant component of how Scottish Football has panned out in the last 20 years”
…should do so now.
(*) TSFM calls him Fergus McCann’s Aide-de-Camp….
Always think that Poyet looks ill…..
Greendreamz,20:03
My thoughts as well, unless LG has a distinctive singing voice how is it possible to identify one voice in a pub filled with fans singing,the video pans across the pub and shows LG with his arms raised and standing on the seats,…from the other side of the pub,…… I think its called guilty by association,as a T.U.rep. for 40 years, this would be laughed out of any disciplinary hearing trying to claim racist singing,seems a lot on here are happy to be led by MSM agenda,
Daftboyness is not a crime.

31003 – I think in his last game he had a 100% pass completion rate. A variety of distances and directions too.
I was wondering how Czech media picture this scandal with Griffiths singing?
I did detailed research and what is very interesting, Czech media say nothing, zero about this scandal.
31003 – Watching the Spurs game now. Ki is a very decent player but I was very happy that we got what we did for him. I think he has improved since he went down south, looks a bit fitter and has more dig in him.
Not sure what all the fuss is about with LG. We sang much much worse in our day both pre-match and during match. He just needs to realize that those days are over for him because he is a Celtic player.
For those looking for good tv shows, try House of Cards.
If James Forrest is found guilty of his alleged offence,will he be shown the door? Is it worse than what LG’s alleged offence?
31003
The same man told me that he thought James Forrest was special.

“Former Celtic Star Craig Beattie Declared Bankrupt.”
WTF is that all about?
How many clubs has that goat played for?
It always has to be Celtic though…
Ps
True Detective wonderful show but you really have to stick with it. Don’t think its of the same calibre as Breaking Bad or Boardwalk Empire.

Flashing your knob at a young girl or calling her a refugee.

If found guilty Forest should be shown the door in my opinion.

Former jambo declared bankrupt wouldn’t be topical would it

I would be in big trouble if either were a crime ….. WTF dya mean they are ;)

Well lets just say I am from an Inishowen family and was raised in North Belfast. I can without fear of contradiction state the fry ups my Donegal Gran dished out and those dished out by friends and family in Belfast were exactly the same although my Grans were mountainous heart attack inducing affairs. Perhaps having spent her later teenage years working in Derry she picked up some bad Ulster Scot habits?

Just watching episode 15 of series 1 of the Following, I think it’s good
Will persevere with True Detectives, but really needs to improve from what I have seen so far
Just my opinion, and no telly buff

” The biggest racism this country has suffered was the Poll Tax . ”
Wow ! -a truly absurd statement ..
The Poll Tax was introduced in Scotland first and there are many different accounts as to why the Basturt Scots were to be the experiment.
………………………….
For zhod’s sake hive it a break with the politics. I can’t remember you on CQN before the IndyRef was announced. You’re just a wee bit too obvious. Has Salmond delegated you to try and ein over the Celtic supporters votes. I’ll bet there’s clones of you on each of the Spfl clubs’ most popular websites.
For God’s sake give us a break etc ……..
HT – I can’t see it happening chief.
James Forrest is the golden child as far as Lenny is concerned.
The manager is going to have to lay down the law to a few of them.
Anthony Stokes seems to have got his act together though,but he can be a bit of a loose canon at times.
HH.
Well, LG has fair divided the blog.
Those who didn’t want him signed in the first place getting their wee smug digs in, thankfully the majority seem to think he deserves a chance to be rehabilitated.
Bada Bing just asked about what happens if James Forrest is found guilty, I fear the blog will go into total meltdown.
One suggestion I would make to the club that may stop episodes like LG and JF getting into bother, ban them from drinking,or at least going out on the town, this happens at most major clubs, infact, most players who play for the major clubs don’t drink, they are professional footballers who are hell bent on being the best they can be, and drink is a no no.
