There’s lots of understandable media interest in the anticipated parting of the ways of ‘Greatest (only) Ever Rangers Manager’ Ally McCoist and newco. McCoist, as ever, has let it be known that he’s looking for a £400k golden handshake, which will almost certainly have the club offer more of its commercial assets to Mike Ashley if it is to be funded.
I hope he gets everything he asks for, bleed them dry, Ally, even if they need to sell more of their IP.
Irrespective of the final settlement, the most important outcome of the termination meetings is whether or not McCoist agrees to a silence clause in return for his cash. More than anything else, this club needs some straight talking from trusted sources who know where the bodies are buried.
The cash will be tempting for Ally, but his open and frank voice going forward is of vastly more value to his club, if not to him. The most debilitating scenario would be an Ashley-funded settlement with a silence clause. Go for it, Ally.
I know at Christmas your thoughts are never far from Billy No’well. Billy has broken new ground in the Bampot stakes and released a DVD with 17(!) of his videos. Full details here.

Bada,
How far have our standards as fans fallen when supporters cannot claim to see improvements in our own without question?
Tbh,
I haven’t seen a lot in Tonev so far but I can wait more than a few appearances before I shift into ‘get rid’ mode :)
!! BB !!
I might have missed it ( genuinely) but I thought that Tonev has only been referred to in terms of his astonishing pace and that he MIGHT be a player. Hardly `talked up`.
Also,I have only been able to go to games in the last seven years but I am not convinced that our standards have dropped in that time.

If I was his Manager , I would have him playing for the under 21 team and putting out the cones at training . Been in a huff for months .Sick , injured , sick , injured , ” mental issues ” family issues” etc etc .
Inter fans of my acquaintance call him -Luci Di Natale ( Christmas Lights ) -on / off on off / on off

Join the HTS and you won’t have to lift a finger HH
Our defence then (2003)was:
Boruc
Hinkel Caldwell McManus Naylor.
Midfield from:
McGeady, Brown,Hartley, Robson,Nakamura and Sno.
Forwards from:
Scott McDonald,Jan Vennegoor of H,Miller ,Samaras.
In varying degrees, everyone of those players had their critics.
JJ
Hun Skelper,
My brother-n-Law, who sits beside me, is in the HTS. I have never asked him about it ! What does it entail?
JJ
LiviBhoy,
Thank you for the compliment earlier and I relate to and get a lot of what you wrote in your subsequent superb post. Anyway, just wanted to say that your good self and the indomitable JamesGang are amongst the most readable on here.
Hail Hail and all the very best,
KevinBhoy.
Jungle Jim,
I don’t think there is much between that Celtic team and the current team!!
Very little difference
Livibhoy, Jamesgang and Geordie Munro – I have enjoyed reading your contributions this morning. I don’t mean that in any disrespect to any other posters who may infer some slight, but your thinking and comments follow my own (in part). Thanks for your contributions as always.

Sign up for it with your ST and your ticket comes through the door for every home cup game, no phone calls and you get a ticket for semi final and finals at Hampden. I’ve had a letter for all the games at Hampden while I’ve been on it …….so far HH
KevinBhoy
Your post was a kick starter for a ramble.

You will have us accused of starying another clique!
Hahahaha

LiviBhoy 09.28hrs.
An excellent summary of recent posts.
HH.
PS : Maybe Kenny Dalglish was correct all these years ago. Maybees aye, maybees naw is a perfect summary of the Scottish footballing establishment’s love in with probability.
Don’t you hate it when you need to explain a joke?
FFM: A synapse, in terms of the joke means the junction of 2 single brain cells.
Now do you get it?

Thanks. I will go for it next season,

Nothing wrong, no flounce, no tutu but I have been spending an inordinate amount of my free time either lurking or posting on CQN and feel the need to make a lifestyle change. So plan is to take a total extended break, although must admit I have previously tried but failed.
Would like to take this opportunity to wish a sincere Happy Christmas to all the good ghuys of CQN.
Love ye all, Love Celtic and God willing, I will be back but Bye for a while.
corkcelt
All the best mate. I will probably do the same over the festive period.

I predict a riot ! Only kidding but I do predict you will not be able to restrain yourself around the Sevco game! Are you over for the Inter game?
JJ
I got a birthday card from my daughter which read:- DAD some say the glass is HALF EMPTY some say the glass is HALF FULL you say the glass is TOO SMALL. my initial reaction was to chuckle, but after opening her litre bottle gift, I poured out a wee half then got another glass and poured a second half “awww dad!!!” michelle grinned “aye hen even at 54 yer aul’ da’s still gote it”… it went down lovely
If she cant get a ticket for Milan game

If you read my post again,i started with ‘it’s all about opinions’, mine is that Tonev has done nothing since he arrived(and at Villa by the way), therefore i am not questioning yours,or anyone elses’ opinion.Guys in the last few days have said they think Tonev has played well/improved.I don’t,a simple difference of opinion.HH
Corkcelt- i hope you and your family enjoy the festive season HH
Been scanning back and read through the night shift. Seems like a whole lot of mutual ego-massaging going on there with a few posters, at the expense of the rest of us mere mortals.
We are not worthy.

The best rabona I have seen was Morten Wieghorst for Regi Blinker to score
Fantastic

I noticed the red tops having a go at Celtic now on the Tonev result, some no name from England saying it may harm our product globally like what happened to LIVERPOOL with Swarez.
Now it’s very clear what’s going on here, there is an agenda to bail this SFA mob out here , and the only way that’s going to happen is if celtic through Alek Tonev under the bus, and I doubt if that’s going to happen, why,? Well because that would mean Celtic are saying he is guilty and they can’t because like Aberdeen they believe there player.
Take it to any court in the land Tonev walks, and so he should, and if the tables where turned I would still feel the same way, as I posted a couple of days ago, the SFA painted themselves into a corner with a knee jerk reaction all just to show how strongly the feel about racism.
Fine by me nothing better than getting behind a good cause and championing it all the way, BUT! At any cost?
A better way of championing it would maybe to have ehhhhhhh a black games official, one anyway in any of our top leagues, a black coach, a black director on any club, a black person, in the SFA/SPFL/SFL, let’s not kid ourselves here it took them 100 years to get to the 20th Century Catholic debacle, as usual they get it all wrong, a little bit of practice what you preach would probably make their decision a little clearer and that they (the SFA ) where doing that, but I don’t see that, I could be wrong but I doubt it, grabbing the moral high ground on a situation that you are more guilty than the man/ woman you are judging does not sit well with me.
!!Bada Bing!!

Agree. Tonev, Wakaso, Berget, Boerrigter, an awful lot in wages for very little positive contribution to the team.
JJ,
Get on it neebs. Sure you’ll get the odd morton on a midweek but it beats queuing on phones or picking and choosing and subsequently missing out.
Funny enough we don’t normally have a great deal of home games, and as hs says, I too have had every semi/final since joining.
Bada,
Aye it wasnt a dig mate. It kinda read like that. All about opinions. HH.
Jamesgang,
I can confirm that nzb and myself have never been seen in the same room at the same time ;p
G67-as a bhoy said earlier,an expensive McGeouch.
GM-HH Hope you are well.
Weet x3
Against the sheep?? Wee peach likes.
A Jambo on Facebook has received a message from Leigh Griffiths.
The guys house was broken into and some items were stolen. He has offered to buy the guy some games for his kid.
Well done Leigh Griffiths.

I agree we have a few fillers and would like to see more first picks bit this is simply not a new phenomenon.
It’s been the case for as long as I can remember.
Bada,
It’s the most wonderful time of the yeeeeear.
Course I’m well. Hope you are too :)
Just saw a job advert for a Kit room assistant for the SFA…. I had a wee look through it and one of the things they are looking for in their person spec states
“A working knowledge of storage and supply. Experience in forward planning”
SFA ? Forward Planning ? They’re having a laugh, aren’t they ?
