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.”

5-1 Spurs and the Sunderland manager looks like he’s stood on a jobbie……………
What happens if Anto is found guilty of decking an Elvis impersonator? Personally I think Anto should be commended for his services to music. Do we sack any of the team or staff caught DD – a dreadful anti social crime. Do we sack Cahir Mulgrew for leaving his kid unattended in a car? Do we sack Wee JF for getting his tadger out when he was pashed? Why does LG persevere with the stupid semi comb over look that in it self is a crime – shave yer heid Lee FFS?

I’m not sure if you’re referring to me when you’re talking about posters who were opposed to Celtic signing LG in the first place; certainly I was one of the most vocal.
I cheered as loudly as any of my fellow Tims at Tynecastle when he scored.
I said that I’d support him as long as he played in the Hoops.
I said that I hoped that he’d become a man and a legend whilst at Celtic.
I’ve always had my reservations and I’ll always stand by my assertion that we should never have signed him.
I haven’t made smug digs and I’ve not said to anyone ‘I told you so’.
I do think Celtic only have themselves to blame. I hope they can navigate a way through this with our integrity intact.
I wish bloggers wouldn’t keeping harping on about red cards and penalties when that lot play DU.
Bookies read this and the odds will tumble:-)

All the Irish people here will know Sky have bought GAA rights.
This is a mock-up of Jeff and Co on Sky Saturday covering the GAA.
Example –
“While Paul Merson was monitoring Kilkenny v Wexford (“THEY’VE COME OUT WIF STICKS, JEFF!!”), Phil Thompson was on duty for Cork v Kerry (“HE’S CLEAN THROUGH, JEFF . . . NOOOOOO, HE’S PUT IT OVER THE BAR!!!”), the fella befuddled when asked who won. “Eeeeeh, I’m not sure Jeff. It’s, eeeeeeh, 6-17 to 3-23 . . . I’ll get me calculator.””

What a joke this little Country is…….the oldco hoardes ran riot in Manchester (as one example) and the Scottish media blamed everyone in Manchester except the rioting animals from ipox……… Celtic player let’s himself down by being an eejit, and they go for the jugular …..they are true bigots ……. I hope Celtic give him a final warning, and I hope he heeds it

Haven’t seen or heard of Stokes being in or around the Gallowgate in quite a while.
Trust me that’s a good thing :-)
A friend of mines wife makes the best Ulster Frys that I’ve ever tasted,she even fries a wee bit of pancake with them,just adds a bit of sweetness to the mix.
No mushrooms or beans – none of that carry on – not even black or white pudding.
You could maybe get away with a slice of fried tomato.
Few chips with a fry isn’t bad either,and maybe a round or two of heavily buttered plain bread.
Not necessary though because of the soda and potato bread is ample enough.
Maybe too many carbohydrates there.

Aye, same old same old, it’s not going to change any time soon sadly.
But I have to thank the smsm for their efforts in destroying their fav club, without their complicity, they could have been saved, for that I will always be grateful to them, and they are doing the self same thing for their bas+ard offspring, again my thanks is forthcoming for their head in the sand stance.

Had a magnitude 5 earthquake here around an hour and 45 mins ago. The house shook, but the only practical effect was to bring back my internet connection (which had been down most of the day). These things never happened in Kings Park.

EXACTLY………!!!!!!
Good grief HamiltonTim.
Now it is JF.
What did you think about AS and his various adventures? Should Celtic have sacked him also?
If a Celtic player is caught in a pub singing in praise of the IRA, would you also want him to be shown the door?
This is getting ridiculous now.
At this rate we will still have Pukki,Balde and the other guy available for next season
Oh FFS.Sack Griffiths,sack Forrest,if AS is found guilty sack him.
This blog is becoming a joke.Lenny would be better scouting Monasteries for players.Cannot stand the holier than thou brigade.Must have led perfect lives.
I will repeat,and keep on repeating it,anyone calling for anyone to be sacked is a hypocrite.
Celtic family,again,my @rse.
Just had a thought, I know, never a good thing, anyways, if I were LG, I would want to know what supposed mate of mine posted the vid on U tube, and give him a right good slap, well I would get someone else to do it, as I have been rehabilitated >}

Can I just say that Celtic FC are a PLC and as such have a responsibility to their shareholders. As a result of this unless the actions of an employee threatens the well being of the financial security of the PLC then their is no way that an asset with a value of approx £1m will simply be allowed to walk away(sacked to us normal guys) because they behaved in a manner that brought about a negative reaction in the local media.
If the LG story makes national(UK) headlines then things may change but this is a local media storm that will end in a few days as the press can’t run with this for much longer, unless of course they have something else up their sleeves that they are waiting to reveal.
