Strathclyde Police seem unprepared to decommission the loose cannon that is providing the regular leaks of largely inaccurate information about Celtic fans to the press. The country’s largest police force have become a regular source of material and hilarity for our media, perhaps best illustrated by their unattributed comment to the Scotland on Sunday, suggesting they plan to “smash the Irish Republican, Marxist, Green Brigade”.
While the police officially claim “these comments do not reflect the view of the Force” the damage is already done. The stage is set for an inevitable confrontation by a group of supporters who now believe they are being unfairly picked upon (for being Marxist, good grief, I thought they all shaved and suited-up under Tony, including the men!), and a police force, which employs someone who has told the press they are picking on the Green Brigade and which is asked by the Government to challenge pro-IRA chanting.
All political chanting must stop, of course, but I don’t fancy being an officer on the ground who has to pick up the pieces after a very loose tongue has set a scene for confrontation.
Make no mistake, the police are being laughed at by grateful recipients of their media comments, who cannot believe the utter naivety of the Pitt St operation, I have heard this laughter first hand from more than one journo, but the consequences of such dire behaviour will be severe.
I would like to thank everyone who bid on the ebay auction for the Jimmy Johnstone medal. I’m really pleased to let you know that the medal has been withdrawn from sale. Thanks again and sorry if you had already bid.
We are not short of history at Celtic, but there are very few occasions a unique memento of the Greatest Ever Celt becomes available. The medal is a 47-year-old slice of Celtic folklore, check it out on ebay.

Don’t know but the DR have certainly managed to provide the Dunfermline player with a telescopic arm.

That picture has defo been edited i can’t believe how low that scum would go to defend a cheat but then again they are the lowest of the low and the quicker they’re lights are out the better.
I like how they say and exclusive with jelly legs bid so they won’t need to put negative headline regarding AGM.
Does anyone know if the “offer” of a 2 game ban is a minimum sentence which can be increased after a failed appeal? A very ambiguous grey area has been created here IMO.
Does Aluko have a history of this type of behaviour or is it something he’s developed in the last 3 weeks!?
Chicken Lasagne?
Surely not
Since when did a few fingers touching a grown man’s arm whilst running make his legs buckle?
Disgraceful attempt to get Aluko off.
Can somebody give me Pauls email details please
Morning CQN – I don’t fancy pissin in this wind.
Good result for the young hoops last night – hope we can bring some of them through to be 1st team regulars.
Aluko will get off scot-free I think – strange how this “original and totally undoctored honest guv” photo has suddenly appeared – or is my paranoia playing up today?
On another matter, has anyone in the media discovered (or even asked!!) what the MBB received his directorship ban for? The minimum ban is 5 years I believe so he must have been a very naughty boy….
Mark my words, the filth will get off with this as they do with nearly everything else.
Meet the new boss same as the old boss.

I’ve been on this mortal coil for 53 years now and was raised in good old Townhead. The Toon wiz ma playground. I’ve walked through town, Argyle St, Sauchiehall St, I’ve ran through town, n I’m talkin Saturday afternoons here, at least a million times. I’ve bumped into people and they’ve bumped in to me and I’ve never, NEVER at any time fell over
Aluko is this season’s Diouff.
A wildcard brought in by the hun to create chaos, headlines and keep folk’s attention off other matters.
Once his job his done, he’ll be off at the end of the season.

‘Does anyone know if the “offer” of a 2 game ban is a minimum sentence which can be increased after a failed appeal?’
Two games is the maximum that can be imposed.
I half expect this to be settled on the basis that the huns will fine the player themselves.
Hamiltontim,
Aluko may have been diving for years.
That’s just the first time it ever got him a penalty.
Now why would that be?
Weather in ole DG a bit Graham Parker and The Rumour.
What I don’t get if he gets off is why have the SFA pulled them up about it in the first place?
It’s clear as day he dived,its an embarrassment to the SFA that the ref gave the pen hence the offered suspension.
Why the hell are the SFA allowing this to be appealed?

I think it must be something in the hun diet that causes them to fall over so easily.
Possibly an absence of fish on Fridays.
Surely Rangers will be providing the SFA with the original Digital Raw file taken by the photographer. This file is pretty much what we all used to refer to as the negative.
Yea. And I’m sure the SFA will be asking for the Raw digital file too.

DBBIA – is that worse than being a bit Neil Young, or not quite so bad?

I am a season ticket holder but living in London, and travelling extensively, I can’t make every game. On this occasion it’s jnot work but am skiing, otherwise I would for sure take you up on your offer of sharing a beer. Maybe we couild even have one each? ;o)
Have booked a massage for the GF (fiancee in fact) whilst my brother and I try and track down a pub in the resort that will favour Celtic Hearts over the Liverpool game.
BTW It was not a case of prevarication – I was making a specific point – my taxes aren’t allocated to specfic things and nor are the Huns. I still struggle to see your point with regard to the the Huns taxes paid or didn’t pay*.
<bJ'accuse the Huns of contributing to the deaths of British Servicemen by not paying their taxes. Happy? :o)
However, by not paying their taxes maybe less bombs were dropped on Libya or less bullets have been fired at locals in Afghanistan? Maybe less troops will be recruited in the future? :o)
On a related topic, I also want to state that I found the overt promotion of the Huns’ “poppy shirt” distasteful and the disclaimer that “a portion of sales” would go the Poppy Trust disingenuous – why not simplay state a sum? Or would that show they were keeping profits for themselves?
* Incidentally, are we talking the tax they owe or including the fines? The fines of course wouldn’t make any difference to the current British army situation. I’ve been spending quite a bit of time on the Rangerstaxcase site – this site is a struggle to be opTIMistic on sometimes…

It’s not really an appeal. It’s the proper procedure. The offer was just that, an offer to obviate the need for a hearing.
Bit like a fiscal fine, or a fixed penalty for a driving offence. You don’t have to accept them.
Bolding failure, how embarrassing:
J’accuse the Huns of contributing to the deaths of British Servicemen by not paying their taxes.

Though the difference is there’s no incentive here to accept the offer as it was for the maximum penalty that could be imposed.

Can’t see that happening, it would make no sense given their actions and stance so far.
Trampoline tip for today- just got a large plastic storage container, placed it on trampoline and filled it to the top with water.

I have seen a fair bit of Aluko at Pittodrie. He gets wired in.. But never a dirty player.. Easily pushed off the ball but not one to ‘simulate’ … So I’d say his behaviour at RFC is almost certainly a result of coach instruction.
The problem is his previous good ( fair) behaviour at AFC may count in his favour.
MMBWC says no to AGM but QC says HMRC negotiations going OK.
Just indulging in a wee bit of “how many acronyms can I get into one short sentence…”
;o)

Any body got pauls email?

j’suis jollie as a cochon dans merd :o)
how about catching next weeks euro game in the marquis of granby ??
Ernie
Aye and if the SFA wanted the game to have real integrity they would not allow the media to influence a panel especially a down market tabloid like the record who have known huns.
Lads what’s yer honest thoughts on the outcome of todays SFA meeting against the diver.
Not actually sure why your all complaining about the photo showing Louganis getting pulled back!
It seems reasonably fair, after all, they showed enough pics of Tansy sticking his paw in big Geo’s face!!

2 match ban plus fine
That’s the sun out in central Glasgow now. S-Club weather I like to call it.
On the Sone Aluko story, the most ridiculous aspect of this is that Rangers as SO desperate to have him available for their next game! IT’S SONE ALUKO FFS!!!
Anyways, back to the weather – I’m expecting Jobo to up his game and provide wind speed reports at half-hourly intervals.
