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.”

Still Laughin’.
Lee Griffiths is not a “daft laddie” or a “silly wee boy” he is a 23 year old racist.
It’s not banter, it’s racism.
Every single one of the people in that video who were joining in with, dancing to and agreeing with that song are racists.
Anyone on here claiming that it’s just banter are racist but they don’t know it.
I have faced the same racist abuse that was being directed at Rudi Skacel and it is demeaning, sneering and derisive.
Racism can only be eradicated if it is met with zero tolerance.
We should sack Griffiths and move on.
Winning Captains
Did you see this post near the top of this page?
“Winning Captains
Sorry. I have been out. I don`t know if there is a list of Supporters` busses but I am assuming a fair few on here travel that way. I was thinking those willing ( I am ) could email their addresses to you and you would send out the flyers. As well as my Bus, I could give them to a guy who sits beside me at the games who travels in on another Supporters` Bus and ask him to distribute. I am sure CQNers have access to a great many of these busses.”
If you are in agreement, post your email and I will send you my address. Paul could make the request in an article to inform others.

You are , of course, correct. A very good Hun effort hit the post and the pony-tailed defender had two very good headed chances. Sleekit is obviously very unlucky and deserves a new contract. He must stay.

No we want him sacked before Sally becomes the best manager in Britain ( if not Europe)

Ah the old semantic argument.
The song is xenophobic and bigoted, if he sang it he’s guilty of something that’s the same as racism ie discriminating against somebody because of their nationality or ethnicity.
I’ve very little time for people that discriminate against others.
Kojo,
It is possible to have no desire to leave a job but to enjoy being courted by other companies. Neil is just flashing a shapely ankle o:-)

I think you are intelligent enough to know why Leigh Griffiths’s chant is racist, but if you prefer to tap-dance around the issue, feel free.

My kojo PERL needs patched
Assuaging caused an exception dump in my west of Scotland drivel dict FFS!
Back to work
Junglejim, it has been deemed to be racist in Scots law. A Hibs supporter was fined £200 for singing it. I think it’s racist because it is ignorant and makes a severe generalisation. I.e. Skacel s from Eastern Europe and they are all refugees… That the folk singing it think they are better than said refugees because of the use of the word f@cking.
Leigh Griffiths earns more in a month than most folk make a year. He “works” part time hours. Appeals for clemency from folk that are rightly appalled by the famine song and enjoyed the sacking of Dallas. If Jack the Ripper said so and so was guilty of murder it wouldn’t make them innocent.
If Neil Lennon plans to take the Norwich job, if offered, then I hope he removes himself completely from the decision making process re. Leigh Griffiths.
Many on here discriminate in words against supporters of the Ibrox club because of their cultural beliefs. Do you have no time for that?
JJ
If Neil does NOT take the Norwich job I hope he removes himself from the decision process of buying players. If not already.

I didn`t know that. That makes a huge difference. Thank you.

Watched Sportscene and MOD2 this afternoon. The quality of football on view was far superior to anything on show at Easter Road yesterday. The deid team really are poor, much poorer than I dared to hope. Ally must stay.
Our manager spoke very well last night, as did John Hartson. I can see both being invited back regularly.
How do you explain the actions of Leigh Griffiths to a 6 year old? Just banter? Don’t think so.

Johnstone treble sends young Celts top

CELTIC…3
Johnstone 9, 31, 54
MOTHERWELL…0
DENNY Johnstone’s hat-trick saw Celtic Under-20s overcome their Motherwell counterparts 3-0 at Lennoxtown and return to the league summit.
The young striker fired home at the second attempt inside the opening 10 minutes and headed in number just beyond the half-hour mark as the young Hoops stamped their authority on proceedings.
He completed his treble when sliding nine minutes after the interval, slotting into the net from Patrik Twardzik’s accurate low cross.
Stevie Frail and John Kennedy’s side now lead Hibernian at the top of the table by one point, having played one game fewer than the Edinburgh side. Both teams will go head-to-head this Thursday at Cappielow.
More to follow.
CELTIC (4-3-3) Fasan; Herron (Donnelly 61), Kelleher, Fraser, Waters (Tierney 72); Thomson, McManus, Lindsay; McMullan, Johnstone, P.Twardzik (Hendry 74)
Not Used: Hart, Donnelly, McCart

Jungle Jim, depends what you mean by culture? If your culture is in itself inherently racist, sectarian, bigoted and introspective… Then I think it is correct that they are vilified.

“I have a zero-tolerance rule. I have spoken to the players about this before. Any sign of any sort of racism against colour, religion, background, will be an instant sackable offence.” – Neil Lennon
Leigh Griffiths is bang to rights.
Now stop, please, before your arms get too tired from shifting all those goalposts.

If that’s aimed at me, then no, not really. I think any broad brush opinion of a group of people is problematic.
Oh Lord all the Holier than thous on here are making me unwell. If what Leigh Griffiths sang is racist, is there not a bunch of fine men operating under the umbrella of FOCUS. Why don’t they arrest and charge him and allow a Judge who has some training in legal matters make a decision as to whether or not he indulged in racist behaviour. I believe Griffiths was bang out of order, and should be disciplined, if the Club opts to fine him, suspend him, sack him or sell him then whatever they decide is fine by me. I have often sung stuff I shouldn’t have with a few pints in me, does that make me sectarian, maybe. I just wonder whether all those calling Griffiths a racist ever sang anything that others might question. No OOh Ahhhs lads, No Eff the Queen & the UDA, No Dirty Orange Barstewards, fine if ye are all as clean as the driven snow, then up on your pulpits and condemn away to your hearts content, I am not so perfect so I will not set myself up as judge & jury.

……………………………………..
If the 6 year old asks you, you explain that Leigh Griffiths did wrong and you explain why in terms that a 6 year old will understand and that LG should be punished. You don’t need to discuss a range of punishments. I had the discussion with my 9 year old grandson yesterday.
Tiny Tim if Leigh Griffiths was a Rangers player, you would want him sacked.and that’s the bottom line. as for that lousy paper The Daily Record,and The Sun pure anti Celtic.. but they get a free ride with the Celtic Board,as for them at Sky Sports im thinking of giving them the heave, another anti celtic mob.
Why does anyone seriously thing Neil would want to go to Norwich?
How many CL clashes can Norwich realistically hope for?
Relegation fights are a more likely scenario.
The only plus side would be to learn some recipes from Delia.
Winning Captains – CQTen goody bag received.
Big thanks to you and all the signatories.
As some of you will already know CQN is hosting a THREE LIONS evening at the CSC in Greenock on Friday 6 June. Tommy Gemmell, John Hughes and Bertie Auld will all be trying to get a word in, which will be difficult as the night is hosted by BRTH!
We have a limited number of places for CQNers so if you want to reserve some tickets (price £3, payable at door) let me know. Paul will be there too and it has the making of a great CQN night!
Any other Celtic Supporters Club wishing to stage a CQN night, please get in touch.

Thinking of the coverage of the trouble in Edinburgh yesterday that got scarcely a mention, I understand in the papers today. Have not seen one so can’t comment with certainty.
Compare and contrast with the days and days of media coverage after our Friday night game at Fir Park.
Says it all about this country’s appalling press. They simply detest us and will do anything to protect the. Ironic in some ways that their protection us also their greatest undoing.
Good evening friends.
My Carlsberg of a weekend (son’s 21st, winning at Tannadice, Hearts relegated, “The Rangers” crashing and burning) extends into Monday with news of our season book prices being frozen. Wonder how that latest news went down with the current custodians of The Rangers Group of Clubs (copyright P67).
Took in the tour today at Celtic park,
Mini reallly enjoyed it and it made her day when young Liam Henderson came into the tunnel and posed for a picture with her,
‘the Celtic way’ is coming on leaps and bounds…
Haven’t read any of the redtops front pages but curious to know if there are any calls for any of the others in the video to be named and dealt with?
Do those calling for LG’s head feel that their employers should dismiss them?
Would they be able to?
Move along now nothing to see?

Neil has distanced himself from the Norwich job on more than one occasion, still, that is
not enough for some on here. I am reliable informed, that this is because he is being considered, courted, for the Spurs job, and the Arsenal job!
