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.

    Slow train wreck you could see coming for the last ? years.

     

    Now that`s alienation from the support ,not the board.

     

    Betcha the hand of the Celtic trust was pulling those strings.

     

     

    Anyway let`s do what we can all agree on …..supporting the team on the park.

     

    Hail Hail

    Ole Gianlucca Vialli just revealed that he was very close to signing for Thems. Apparently he wasn’t offered an EBT so went to Chelski instead. OK, I may have made that last bit up :-))

    theoriginalsadiesbhoy,

     

     

    I joined the trust last year, they helped me with issues relating to my Fergus era shareholding. To the point, I receive plenty of feedback and info from the Trust but I receive zero communication from the board about anything except at AGM time when they decide that they will vote down almost any suggestion that comes from any fans, be they individual or organised and we have people who then come on here talking about the Celtic Trust being masonic or some kind of secret society, what absolute arrant nonsense but sometimes you may have to get off your arse and make things happen instead of throwing around childish buzzwords about people you don’t know and have never met?

     

     

    I could be wrong

    ………………………………….

     

     

    You don’t think I was opposing the CT. I have read a lot of posts on here from fans who have had problems sorted out by the Trust.

    Great result today, not at our best, but a lot to be happy about.

     

    A few guys will still disagree about some issues,

     

    so a repost from last night, and this is a record for me,

     

    3 posts in a week, onwards and upwards.

    At the Vigil Mass tonight the 2nd reading was about ;

     

     

    ” Make up the differences between you, instead of

     

    dissagreeing among yourselves”

     

     

    So to take a leaf from the first letter of St Paul to the Corinthians,

     

    what about,

     

    the first letter of St Paul 67 to the Celticquicknewsians.

     

     

    We all make mistakes, no one is perfect, I appeal to you brothers to make up the differences between you, and instead of dissagreeing among yourselves, to be united

     

    again in your belief and practice.

     

     

    And it was written, the Timmites would give thanks to the Lord, and rejoice.

     

    The hunnites would be banished to the wilderness, as the prophets they worship

     

    were thieves and liars. Why-tee, he who had plenty of shekels endured the wrath

     

    of the hunnites, for it was he who deceiveth Murr-ee the son of David, also known

     

    as the duped one. When Hec-tor the tax collector was sent among the hunnites,

     

    there was much wailing, and gnashing of teeth. The Timmites rejoiced and the feast

     

    was abundant with Jell-ee and ice- cream.

     

    The hunnites were defiant, as they were the pee-pil, and were in awe of the chosen

     

    one, All-ee . It came to pass All-ee was another false prophet, and the hunnites

     

    despaired as All-ee ate all the pies, plundered the penny shares, and ran off with the

     

    rest of the shekels. It was not the promised land, it was the cleaners they were taken to.

     

    They were up to their knees in asset strippers, and there was much more wailing,

     

    and the gnashing of teeth was down to the gums.

     

    The Timmites rejoiced like never before, as the tribute hunnites were also banished

     

    to the wilderness for ever more.

     

     

    And it was written, “You reap what you sow”

     

     

    The Power and the Glory was bestowed upon the Timmites, as they praised

     

    The Lord, for he is good, and they were sent to Paradise at the feast of

     

    St Padd-ee to eat, drink, and be merry,

     

     

    Thanks be to God.

    Peace be with you.

  6. WOW.! Now there’s an oxymoron supporting CELTIC on the park, I doubt if the Celtic Trust would like that, then AGAIN! MsFindlay “let’s have another meeting and get me on that board”
