Politics of the game encroaching on Neil Lennon

847

It is one thing for football fans and administrators to be embroiled in the politics of the game but it’s no wonder that Neil Lennon tires of such subjects.  His team are top of the SPL and in the knockout stages of the Champions League but he is being distracted by references to his club emanating from the lower leagues.  Maybe he should limit his comments on this subject to those of Walter Smith, “We wish the new Rangers Football Club every good fortune.”  Every “new” club deserves the same courtesy.

Can you imagine the reaction if Neil said the same!

Speaking of which, I see the man who has avoided trying to win friends among other clubs since his arrival in the game last year is now trying to influence people on league reconstruction.  Good luck with that.

We spoke over the weekend about well-run clubs in the SPL (Inverness, St Johnstone, Ross County, Motherwell), where managers come and go but results tend to remain buoyant.  Notably absent from this list was Dundee United, who have underachieved for years, but whose manager, Peter Houston, was today given permission to speak to English Championship side, Blackpool.  Houston has been unable to sprinkle magic dust over Tannadice so, if offered the Blackpool job, I expect him to accept.

United need to ask some fundamental questions should they be forced to replace their manager, like why they have vastly more resources than Motherwell, and appear to be able to produce prodigious young talent, but consistently fail to match the Lanarkshire side the in the league table.  They are a club in need of vision.

  1. Thatcher destroyed everything that was real in Britain and replaced it with the smoke and mirrors culture that produced nothing but wealth for the few.

    In all honesty, it’s just like a hoose, really….but much better.

     

     

    The biggest drawback is can’t get a mobile signal in the cave, so have to have a land line, that seriously is the biggest drawback, every else is a positive, warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

     

     

    Ohh, and we even have hot and cold running water, oot of taps and no doon the walls >}

  7. I usually scroll by his posts under either guise but his exaltation of Thatcher, her murderous actions that killed more than a thousand human beings coupled with the moronic “still laughing” tagline is frankly disgusting. You’re a shameless fool kojo. go f;:k yourself.

    The Tories are just the political wing of the stock market and all that is needed to corrupt, lie and cheat to get what they want with the assistance of the judiciary or the army (in most countries). We now have TV and computers to help them achieve this. Why blame Thatcher? She was just a puppet of the ongoing principle. An emblem of the blissfully ignorant. Move on.

    Aye,indeed.

     

     

    A few good points being made about transferring assets between companies then closing them.

     

     

    A method which seems strangely familiar,somehow.

     

     

    Oh,wait-I remember now.

     

     

    Craig Whyte did that for years,and has been strangely quiet of late……

  10. Right bhoys, time for my cot, will start planning my world curry tour tomorrow,

     

    TeT and BMCUW you have been warned ;-)))

  11. We, the citizens of The Ukplc, by giving our government the wherewithal to do such things by remaining quiet, decade in, decade out, did this by invading Iraq and Afghanistan:

     

     

    “To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole”: Nuremburg War Tribunal regarding wars of aggression

     

     

    On the night of ‘Shock & Awe’, 10,000 died in Baghdad. Iraq is now a hellhole. Does anyone think they will ever forgive us?

     

    And btw, the so-called Twin Trade Towers terrorists came from Saudi Arabia.

     

    So, why did we invade and occupy Iraq? Why have we stayed in Afghanistan? What have we achieved, except to make things worse?

    Summa..,

     

    I think, had the steel works survived, health and safety would require screening, I find it more likely they were closed to limit liability for the health problems they knew were building up.

     

    Oh and to destroy unions and the society surrounding the industry, rave scraping was making profit when she closed it.

     

     

    ..

     

     

    Canalamar..

     

     

    You Nearly agreed with me.. I mentioned Asbestos as I thought the Steel industry was ripe in this day and Age for Class Action..

     

     

    And Thatcher like other Leaders want Quick fixes and Results 20 Yrs to make industry Safe was too Long and too Expensive..

     

     

    Her Giving the Ability to Buy your own Council House killed the Unions in the UK..

     

     

    Micheal..

     

     

    Far from it.. See Above.. As I Said it has Always been my Opinoin it was a Blessing in Disguise..

     

     

    Thatcher/Tebbit..

     

     

    Told us to get on Our Bikes and Find Jobs..

     

     

    I went to London where I sort of Jas a Licence to Print Money.. Then on to Holland..

     

     

    10 year Later in a Time of Personal hardship I came back to Scotland to be told I was NOT a resident of the UK.. And was refused any benefits..

     

     

    Now when I go home My Doctor who has been for 45yrs won’t event see me.. I need to go to A&E.. For basic medical problems..

     

     

    Scotland is still the Best place in the World for me tho..

     

     

    Summa

  13. I have just discovered that our game is on bet365 the morra…..happy days >}

     

     

    And we are well favs @ 6/5 they are 9/5, no matter, a good run out against good oppos.

  14. Margaret McGill on

    Last Year was a big year for me. I had my stomach surgically removed and took the opportunity to re-ass cess my life. I read wurx by the great thinkers (Plato, Aristotle Onassis,Hegel, Marx,Lenin, Malcolm X, Bono, Peter Robinson, Hitler) and fundamentally revised my whole philosophy. So from Now on I’m voting LibDem.

    SUMMA OF SAMMI

     

     

    A year ago,an 80yo friend of mine was home to renew his visa for Thailand,where he and has wife have lived for five years or so.

     

     

    He was taken ill,and refused ANY NHS treatment.

     

     

    Fortunately,as I work for the local paper,a word with the editor soon saw to it that a man who had paid his taxes over his 55 year working life received the treatment he deserves.

     

     

    I suspect he would have been treated regardless had he NEVER lived here…..

    No we didn’t :o) you have some silly notion she had welfare in mind for the people working in our heavy industries, when we both know it was the opposite, she wanted to destroy their welfare.

     

    I do agree on making working class mortgage slaves destroyed the unions, well that along with jingoistic propaganda and police and soldiers batons.

    CANAMALAR

     

     

    As people in council properties moved onto the housing ladder,those properties were freed up for new young couples to make their own start in life.

     

     

    That no longer happens as the council properties have largely been sold off.

     

     

    So thirty years later,young couples have to rent privately-and at such expense that a house of their own is a pipedream.

     

     

    Aye,good old Maggie.

     

     

    Having said that,I don’t wish her illness on anyone,and genuinely hope that she is never lucid enough to know what has become of her.

  20. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    I noticed tonight on the propaganda they are trying to claim objections to the restructure are more widespread, I think the numbers of objectors might be similar to the numbers who tried to vote them into the sfl 1st division :o)

  21. This is what we’re good at. Killing the truth with interminable inquiries. Just like the kinda guff which will allow Ogilvie and his counterparts them to squizzle away from the huge scandal swirling around their beloved ones, the orange bigots pretending they have a football club, when it’s just a front for the excesses of the imperium, wrapped up in the butcher’s apron.

     

    Killers then, killers now, killers ad nauseam.

Ach well, as everyone has gone to bed, and in the spirit of the maggie thing…..I seem to remember the provos saying that after the brighton thing, they only had to get it right once, which they didn’y btw, they should have set it off a few hours later, as all the revelers were still back slapping each other, they had to get it right all the time.

    Indeed the P-IRA did get it right.

     

     

    They switched their strategy.

     

     

    Instead of targeting easily-replaced politicos,they went after economic targets.

     

     

    Staples Corner and The Baltic Exchange caused over £1bn damage in one day.

     

     

    During a recession.

     

     

    A masterstroke,and the UK Govt knew it.

    Good to see you back on for a bit.

     

     

    I hope you are receiving a bit more respect from young eejits than you had recently.

     

     

    I’ve heard a few people I know say similar things.

     

     

    Not a good trend,it should be nipped in the bud.
