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.

    Good post mate.

     

     

    How many families did she destroy with her inhumane policies?

     

     

    How many young kids were thrown on the scapheap?

     

     

    I for one will hold back a holiday for when the uncaring creature gets her just reward.

  2. I have to assume that both Kojo and the singing Dick are trolls just posting here to wind people up. When I came on first I found Kojo’s footballing posts mildly amusing whilst the other half of the odd couple doesn’t seem much interested in Football and just deals in Right Wing Politics with the odd Racist post thrown in for good measure. I will not directly talk to either re any political post and I know many other posters operate a similar policy. Only problem I see is that CQN is available to be read by people all over the globe including Argentina. I shudder to think of what image do these guys posts give of Celtic Supporters to any occasional visitor to the site. Also when majority of posters opt to ignore them it would appear that the majority are complicit by their silence. I was a long time lurker before I started posting and I must say I am thinking of returning to my lurker status such is my disgust at the antics of these two.

  3. I’m not sure what’s worse, that half wit for posting of his loving admiration of at least one war criminal (thatcher and pinochet) or some of us for getting irked about it.

  4. Hearing reports the democratic flag lovers have thrown petrol bombs at St Matthews Church in Belfast.

     

    Sinister twist.

  5. Count me out of the celebrations when MT passes away.

     

    I never cared for her, and I believe she has blood on her hands, but wishing for someone’s death isn’t very Christian like.

     

    I believe in God and I believe she’ll meet Him one day.

     

    I’m happy to let Him decide what punishment, if any, she deserves.

    Its just i have a couple of weddings comin up and im considering buyin a pair as i think they would look well with my new navy suit

     

     

    Or would i look a bit too….sevconian?

     

     

    B-)

     

     

    I have the same issue as yourself. The devils hooves are part of the outfit I have to wear at my brother-in-law’s wedding.

     

     

    He has been told where to go, but wife putting undue pressure on me,

     

     

    I will be sure my black wedgins will defo not be in the wedding photos

  7. KOJO and TSDDTROCO

     

     

    supporting maggie thatcher and being a Celtic supporter are totally incompatable

     

     

    her,her policies and actions are the opposite of the Celtic ethos

     

     

    TSDDTROCO,your panderings to KOJO are almost as sickening his support for this tyrant, like something that would appear on a hun site,I imagine.

     

     

    also sick to death reading about servco and charles green on here today

     

     

    has to be one of my least enjoyable days on here,suffering that pash

    3 needed I think. 1 for rev i paisley.

  9. I agree Gene, and most of the time so do I but just caught sight of their praising of the War Criminal Thatcher for murdering circa 1500 kids who were on a rust bucket of an old boat. Next they will be extolling the Sun for its “Gotcha” headline. I know they are Trolls you know they are Trolls but some guy logging on here for the first time wouldn’t know it and their posts totally demean the site.

  10. Cork,

     

    You are spot on re what visitors think about this eejit having licence to post his racist / fascist views on here . He. seems to have some protection .

  11. I will dance on Thatchers grave when the time comes.

     

     

    Singing Detective is a poor philvisreturns wannabe.

     

     

    Sad really…

    I thought the 12th was Thatcher Day??

     

     

    12th October??

     

     

    Perfect time to go for a slash! Some might call it a miracle!

     

     

    Perhaps just another missed opportunity.

    The divisiveness of successive Thatcher govts.created many grounds for criticism.

     

    That she ultimately failed is unarguable.She paid the price.

     

    The decision to send a taskforce and respond to naked Argentinian aggression is not one of them.The decision was made by the British Parliament not by one woman.

     

    Compare this with the decision made by the unelected fascist junta and its colonial gunboat diplomacy.Its members are being prosecuted to this day.By Argentinians.

     

     

    As John Nott later wrote: ‘I remain astonished . . . that anyone should consider the momentary compass bearing of Belgrano’s passage to be of any consequence whatever. Any ship can turn in an instant.’

     

    Nevertheless, the likes of Tam Dalyell would never be satisfied, despite the fact that even members of the Argentinian Navy agreed the sinking was a legitimate act of war.

     

    ‘It was absolutely not a war crime,’ said the Belgrano’s captain, Hector Bonzo, in an interview two years before his death in 2009.

     

    ‘It was an act of war, lamentably legal.’

     

    Meanwhile, the Argentine admiral Enrique Molina Pico later admitted the location of the Belgrano outside the Exclusion Zone ‘did not mean it was withdrawn from the war’.

     

    ‘The integrated naval force had been deployed to carry out an attack on the British fleet in a co-ordinated operation with other naval groups,’ he wrote.

     

    ‘The heading away from the enemy fleet was only momentary, as the commander saw fit to wait for a more convenient time (to attack).

     

    ‘The Belgrano and the other ships were a threat and a danger to the British.’

     

    These admissions tally with the signals intercepts revealed by Major Thorp, which show that the Argentinian vessels had been ordered to engage in a pincer attack.

  18. Why is foul or abusive language forbidden on CQN,… while the ugliest of inhuman, fascist propaganda is allowed to contaminate the site ?

  19. I am perfectly happy to lose any part of Celtic or CQN that depends on the existence of Kojo and the singing detective demands the resignation of campbell ogilvie.

     

     

    I’m going to post this or something similar to it in future.

     

    You never know it might work.

    Don’t listen to them. JohnnyMac only ever wears brown brogues. He claims he’s been wearing ’em since before Advocaat got his first coaching job, and I believe him – the hum gives it away – an exquisite blend of mature, unpasteurised camembert and pregnant cat’s pee, with a lingering Knorr Chicken Stock cube after taste. Vintage!

     

     

    Still, they’re well made, quality cobbling, and doubtless ol Johnnymac will be happy to let you borrow them as required.

    When the subject on the blog drifts into politics or political history – expect to read views with which you do not agree and in some cases abhor.

     

    In the main i tend to avoid contributing or reading the posts on such subjects.

  26. Bada,They might not honour your voucher. Jessops did the same last week. no gift vouchers accepted, and no returns/refunds on previously purchased items.
