Power behind the throne

303

Agreeing on important topics, like wages, seems a straightforward business for some. You wonder if agreeing compensation is more of a challenge.

Celtic and confirmed prime target Brendan Rodgers have lots to discuss, not least who will make it into his backroom team.  Chris Davies was considered the power behind the throne when they were both I’m Glasgow before.

Chris was the technician, Brendan’s main sounding board and tactical resource. At 38, after 13 years as a Rodgers protégé, he will have options of a manager’s of his own.  I respect Chris greatly but wonder if Brendan needs a fresh pair of eyes after do many years.

    My kids are abroad with my ex mate

     

     

    I hope to see my friends and play some tri-onimo (if you have not played tri-onimo then get it ordered – such a good game lol), get a bit of me time and tick off some work projects

  2. What is my opinion on what Mod?

     

    Read my prev answer.its there,if that’s what I think your asking?

     

    You’ll have Ange back in 2 years? Ask that and Bank it.

     

     

    Mod if you wish to post your own opinion do so,but not as mod,you are the Mod,to moderate opinion

     

     

    make up a moniker(like the 4 I welcomed this morn and got deleted,asking them the Q)and burst off aw ye want.under your own name not as Paul Brennans Moderator. disnae look good.

     

    Adds to the blogs deterioration

     

     

    The blog already has a header,folk post and even the windaehingers or myself say their bit,

     

    and differ and it goes of its own road.

     

     

    Your question I could throw out a wide answer.i won’t.

     

     

    But with fake posters quotes turning up in articles by scrollers in paypers and with transfer rumours sourced by solid itk posters on cqn contributors doing the rounds on twatter.

     

    Your question is a dream to them so

     

    i won’t be answering.

     

     

    Let the blog differ in opinion,it’s cos we do

     

    And media wanting a tale gtf and lick around molly downers bins.they are true rats

  4. Me aul fella isn’t hear anymore, God bless him.

     

    Absolute hushed tones about 67, an unsaid reverence.

     

    His mam, Mariah, was from Govan Road.

     

    I can’t get back much before 1900.

     

    Can only hope they’d have spoken of Walfrid.

    Good reading. Very measured post. Pretty much sums up my own feelings.

  6. leftclicktic on

    When BR left I was stunned and I called him every name under the sun.

     

    But I don’t know the full story.

     

    Then AP left though I had expected it after trophy day, I was disappointed but understand the move will set his family up for generations.

     

    After AP was away I thought what are we going to do . Then Brendans name was mentioned among a raft of others, from day one he was the outstanding candidate. All was forgiven and I am desperate to get it over the line.

     

    That the huns are terrified of brendan is a brucie bonus.

     

     

    Time is a healerCSC.

  7. The Tri-onimoes were at number 1 in the charts in May 1967 when we won the big cup.

     

     

    Silence is Golden- they said.

     

     

    Not sure about that when it’s manager announcing time.

     

     

    BTw- it’s weird that I am enjoying a chess match of a game between Italy an Spain- it’s not the most exciting match but the level of control and passing is really high quality.

  8. Mod

     

    So why delete Kev’s posts where he doesn’t break the “RULES” ?

     

    Serious question.

     

    We are all capable of scrolling past if we choose to, but you decide that his posts are drivel so delete them, power going to your head me thinks >:)

     

    Oh and IMO if anyone is a rat it’s not BR, again IMO.

    So why delete Kev’s posts where he doesn’t break the “RULES” ?

     

     

    Mostly to stop 20 pages of nonsense mate

     

     

    As his posts are designed to cause grief and not love???

     

     

    I will ALWAYS delete his posts mate for that reason x

  10. TET,

     

     

    Kev made the mistake of swearing in one of his posts a couple of days ago.. It was a long post with a lot of valid points , but the swear word ensured its deletion.. No argument there it was a breach of the rules.

     

     

    I asked the same question you are asking the next day. Another long post but no swear words.

     

     

    No swear words and no personal attacks.

    Am also given latitude to think

     

     

    The poster(s) who you refer to as Kevj know why I delete their posts……

  12. Moderator1888 on

    Greenpinata and TET

     

     

    If any of you are in contact with aforementioned poster

     

     

    Perhaps you could ask them???

     

     

    Am not gona give the reason here as it will multiply the nonsense…….

  13. I was quite early in getting back on the brendan bus. My dislike for him after he left us subsided very quickly. Holding a grudge against the man responsible for my best days as a Celtic fan was not sustainable.

     

     

    I think in Brendan we’ve improved our manager. I can’t wait to see him clean up next season. I’ve never been as confident facing into a new season as I am now.

  14. Malachy Duffin on

    Unhappy advertisers.. . . lord knows there is enough of them on here apparently.

  15. Chompers getting another bite at the Celtic????

     

     

    Hard to swallow for some…………

     

     

    Understandable.

     

     

    I’d have him back.

    Agreed on all points

  17. As I look out of the Garngad mansion I still do not see green smoke from the paradise chimney.

     

     

    Never mind I am sure all is well after 5 or 6 days of negotitaions with the next manager and our wonderful board.

     

     

    I hope it is a Friday appointment, but………..

    You’re the MOD, so you have the power.

     

    I totally disagree cos he has said the same thing for years, it’s true what he says, boring and repetitive but facts are facts, as I said, we can all scroll by if needs be.

     

    No idea who he is other than what I red here before it’s deleted.

    I emailed you why

     

     

    Am not gona publicise on here why

     

     

    There is a very good reason

     

     

    Untll they don’t do that??

     

     

    They/them/they’re can keep getting deleted and blocked

  22. MOD

     

    I never got the email else I would have replied.

     

    I get 00’s a day on all my platforms I have, I, or I should say the wife has set them up so that unknowns are automatically deleted, it saves time deleting them at a later date, sorry bout that, algorithms are a bugg*r at times.

     

    The latest is parcels that I haven’t collected or been delivered, about 300 a day are sent to the trash, it makes a change from winning the lotto or inheriting a legacy I suppose.

    Sorry, I used your login email and not your old/normal one

     

     

    It should be there now……

  24. Kev has made some really terrible Posts over the years, he has been red carded several times but is pretty expert at setting up new accounts & beating the rap.

     

     

    I totally understand why he is instantly deleted as far as I know he receives the same treatment on the more lenient Sentinel Celts.

     

     

    P.S. I take no pleasure in any Celt being banned,

    GREENPINATA

     

     

    There’s some decent comments/opinions made by Kevj in his random posts, some nonsense too.

     

     

    He’s not the only one on here that can talk tripe……am wan 😇

  26. Moderator1888 on

    Further to why kevj/they/them/whom ever they are

     

     

    If kevj/they/them can stop posting from disposable email addresses??

     

     

    I couldnt give a XXXX what they post

     

     

    But they don’t

     

     

    If you can pass that along and advise a gmail, hotmail XXXing protonmail ;) anything but a disposable email address

     

     

    And am a happy ghuy

     

     

    If you dont know what a disposable email address is???

     

     

    “Disposable email addressing, also known as DEA or dark mail or “masked” email, refers to an approach which involves a unique email address being used for every contact, entity, or for a limited number of times or uses. The benefit is that if anyone compromises the address or utilizes it in connection with email abuse, the address owner can easily cancel (or “dispose” of) it without affecting any of their other contacts”

     

     

    Basically they can log in once, and its active to for 5 mins or so to get the “please click here to confirm your email address”

     

     

    Then its dead

     

     

    XXXX THAT

     

     

    Post on an email address that dont do that and I will allow it to be posted

     

     

    Is that clear matey???

     

     

    ===============

     

     

    As an addendum to that

     

     

    Disposable email addresses allow every XXXX stain to post horrible, out of order, despicable nonsense without any legal recourse to put them in jail etc etc

     

     

    And I do include our MSM in that……….as they have been known

     

     

    Don’t do it

     

     

    I have a COMPLETE list of them

     

     

    And will ban them

     

     

    Kapeesh????????????????

  27. Sleep well Timland

     

    Hopefully the morra is when our new hunskelper general is unveiled.

     

    Had a few specialty beers tonight, Lidl had a special on, the weakest is 7.2 %, the strongest 10.6%, they dinny take the best but by eff, they get you pissed !!!!

     

    HH

  28. Rodgers can hopefully show himself to be a class manager and that is all that matters when appointing him. He left and we were pissed off. We were pissed off because he was very good. Folk not wanting him is all fair and well, only if we can get better, otherwise it is stupid and an act of self harm. I do wonder how many of those same folk could truthfully say they would not welcome back k.t, dembelle, VVD, eduard etc… if they were willing to come back and do thier best to help us improve!
