Playing with an eye on your next gig, bold use of Latin

845

I don’t like playing games when players have transfer or contract business swirling around the dressing room.  Give a team an excuse to underperform and they tend to grab it, so I expect a difficult challenge at Easter Road tomorrow.  If we want to maintain our unbeaten run and two month old clean sheet record we’ll need to bring our A game.

Neil Lennon’s comments at yesterday’s media conference, about potentially dropping players who plan to leave in the summer, point in this direction.  Few manage to perform with an eye on their next gig.

Well done to the new regime at Newco Rangers who used Latin in their stock market announcement yesterday.  There was no “ex-gratia” payment to resigning director, Brian Stockbridge, who instead had his contract paid up.

Paying Stockbridge in full is hardly a money saver but with him not around it will sweeten the medicine others will have to take and allow a fresh angle to be pitched to supporters at season ticket renewal time.  Let’s hope their manager sticks to his contractual guns.

Daily Record columnist, Chris Sutton, has today made the case for Neil Lennon to leave Celtic and move to England.  Nice one, Chris.  If you hand around long enough to get to see it all.

    So am I….maybe you can convince me, and others, that the Trust are worthwhile by responding to my post of 00.05 …… If I thought the Trust could, and were contributing to Celtic’s progress, I would join them…

    DD,

     

    I was at 12 Mass last Sunday in St.Margarets in Whitecrook.

     

    Loved it.Great folk group.

  6. I recall during the Celts for Change

     

    there were complete eedjits who believed

     

    any old nonsense the old board served up

     

    like the spaceship in Cambuslang.

     

    We wondered what complete eedjit would buy

     

    into that nonsense.

     

    TD step up my man.

    I just type it the way I see it, it’s my opinion, I’ve had enough of this trust, they don’t speak for me, I was at the AGM, I behaved, they where there too, and I can rest assure you my friend there was nothing conciliatory coming from them when speaking to the board, they where BANG OUT OF ORDER, they have to be let known that others do not want them speaking for them.

  8. so here we go,

     

     

    to annoy the conformists and pledge an allegiance.

     

     

    I just watched a couple of things, cant name the programmes but one was about burns suppers in far flung lands, and the second was celtic connections burns celebrations.

     

     

    The suppers in far flung lands, what a lot of colonial pish.

     

    Here we are in our Scottish club, proving how Scottish we are, by having the locals serve us haggis. Spoiled upperclass or banker class twits.

     

    Two generations ago, our family were exporting their tea, and making fortunes.

     

    As Scottish as Kent, or Kents.

     

     

    The Celtic connections, I didnt connect once,

     

    what a lot of pish.

     

     

    A lot of debate recently “would Burns vote for Independence” ?

     

     

    I bet he wouldnt go to that concert.

     

     

    Saint Stivs,

     

    Burns was a great poet , hijacked by huns,

     

    Golf is a bring non sport.

     

    Whisky is a horrible taste.

     

     

    I am the Tony Donnelly of the night shift.

    You can be justifiably proud of your grandfather……..he, like so many, were badly let down by politicians who are only interested in 2 things…..money and power……they were not interested in your grandfather or mine, and they are not interested in us….

    I have my doubts that you speak for many Celtic supporters. We are a broad church and while not everyone will agree with some of the things the Celtic Supporters Trust do or the Green Brigade do there are obviously lots of people who admire the work of both. I’m an old guy and love the colour and excitement and great atmosphere that the Green Brigade generated at games. I wish they had not involved the Club in their politics though but I miss them and think that the Club could have tried a bit harder to find an amicable solution.

     

     

    Your attitude, however, is boorish and to be honest distasteful. You are not a typical Celtic fan in my opinion. I find your slavish devotion to the Board – right or wrong – to be totally obsequious. Oh and while I’m at it your parting salvo after each of your posts says more about you that any lurking supporters of Newclub.

  11. Aye ok heard it, haven’t been over the door all day mate as I posted earlier, as for the Hun thing? aye right, as for slaters? I like to dress well, oh and I am not a house drinker, so your batting 1,000, keep up the good work.

    You are as near to a hun as I have every encountered on a Celtic site.

     

     

    You obvioulsey have had a few sherberts tonight, and again you tell your fellow Tims they are not wanted, that is as hunnish as I know.

     

     

    We are all inclusive, whether you like it or not, black, yellow, Jewish, Muslim, Prod, Catholic, Left, right, take your choice, but your are never a Celtic man, you may well profess to be one, but dearie me, you need a ways to go to ever dream of being one.

     

     

    Stick to slaters, get yoursel suited and booted, a Tim, yer havin a laf.

    Absolutely…..imattended a shareholders meeting a few years ago (as work permitted) and I was so shocked at their negativity and aggression, I grabbed the mike and gave them a piece of my mind……..hahahahahah……at that meeting, anyway, they reminded me of politicians…all talk and no action……and working to their own agenda..

    67 heaven,

     

    Hahahahahahaha. Time after time after time.Tbh, we have more pressing issues here.

     

    Massive elections coming up here in Ireland and our focus will be on them.

     

    Why do you feel the need to come on here and be immediately confrontational?

    I’m not in here to please you or anyone else or upset you or anyone else, I just post my opinion, you don’t know me, nor I you, and what you think of me, is of no concern to me.

  16. ive never been to a Burns supper in my life.

     

     

    when i was growing up they were exclusively Ex Boys Brigader type events

     

     

    question for

     

     

    PETEC.

     

     

    burns supper and masonic rituals ?

    That was just utter nonsense.

     

     

    ——————————-

     

     

    One mans nonsense is another mans Celtic Trust.

  18. Genuinely don’t know….

     

     

    How many members does the Celtic Trust have?

     

     

    Are Minutes and results of Annual Meetings published?

     

     

    If a shareholder joins the Trust does the shareholder waive rights to vote at Celtic FC AGMs?

  19. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon, supporting WEE OSCAR..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    Fholks, I’m really sorry for criticising the Trust……maybe someone can convince me that they actually do anything for the advancement of our great Club……meanwhile, I’ll just keep apologising on here for my opinion….that they are self-seeking politicos…….someone said the GB and Celtic should get together and work this out….I agree…it would benefit all of us …..night night

    When I was growing up in Knightswood, the boys brigade had their Burns night. We had Burns poetry lessons at school though. The hun pals thought he was something to do wae the masons. Us Tims knew his works. A blame the Skools.
