Rangers manager, Ally McCoist, appears intent on testing the SFA following his outburst yesterday. According to McCoist the Association “effectively called” Sone Aluko “a cheat and a liar”. Chairmen of the disciplinary tribunal, former referee Jim McCluskey, had his judgement called into question by McCoist, who said, “The meeting was chaired by a former referee and I have to say his decision making hasn’t improved any since he stopped refereeing.”
This is a new tone from the Rangers manager, who never spoke in these terms about the SFA before they decided to investigate Rangers owner Craig Whyte’s suitability as a fit and proper person to be involved in the game. Despite yesterday’s punishment, Rangers remain Scotland’s most influential club by the length of the Queen’s highway. Sabre rattling from Ibrox cannot be dismissed by the Association, who, I am led to believe, will find their investigation into Whyte thwarted.
McCoist escaped SFA punishment for his inflammatory comments to Neil Lennon at Celtic Park in March. It remains to be seen if this new outburst establishes a new method of inappropriate behaviour without consequence. Shauny Aluko will surely not thank his manager for the “cheat and a liar” association. Words like those tend to follow a player.

I wouldn’t be terribly upset to be stuck on the island with you… as long as you didn’t play number 5 too often…

Missed the above post.
Yes travelling up tomorow morn, returning straight after the game. I was intending staying over and having a drink or two with the Derry Celts, but I’m on strong medicine and not conducive to drinking copious amounts of the good stuff.
Probably be at the ground early and go into the Londor rd tavern or summit.

Evening folks.
Isnt it funny how when Fat Sally sneezes the media try to spread the flu!
Every time someone from the huns complains about something, somehow the media, usually within 24 hours have someone at Celtic defending favouritism from somewhere along the ranks of within football or without, depending on how desperate they are.
Neil Lennon having to answer a question of whether we experience favouritism from the SFA shows you just dillusional those in the media are.
They call us paranoid – they want to have a look in the mirror.

I am in that boat. I had to quit work until recently to look after my wife (degree educated) and young son after she was diagnosed with various mental illnesses. She has been in and out of hospital since the birth of my son and I doubt if she’ll ever work again. Now she is being told she can work via this ESA means tested criteria, which really just compounds matters more than anything else.
I have just started work again after being her cater for about a year. I would Peter to spend time at home due to her condition, but hey, according to these f&@)&ing cretins, we are all capable of working.

my most treasured Celtic possessions are the two CQN badges that I got for free from Pablophanque. He told me not to tell anyone he was giving me them for free but I told him “No Stevie I am going to land you in it”

@MurdochauldandHay & Kano 1000
Couldn’t agree more! the poorest in society are becoming the scapegoats for everything! this morning on Five Live listened to how as DC hadn’t entered agreement, 27 European countries were now isolated from Britain!
Cameron, Clegg et al went to state subsidised schools (taxbreaks on fees for Ma & Pa, no childcare, charitable status for the school), enjoyed access to OXbridge and haven’t worked a day of their lives. Danny Alexander couldn’t run a one track railway!
It’s time we stood up to the tax dodgers in this country, who cost us more than any welfare state!
hail hail!

Gideon and his cronies will continue to chip and cleave away at the welfare state in the next few years, after all we’ve been down this road before. It’s also the warp and weft of our democracy, to an extent. Labour spends, tories cut back. Twas ever thus.
Thatcher, Thatcher Milk Snatcher.
Someone else posted about the privatisation of profits and the socialisation of risk and debt. This is our future.
When the Grauniad finally earnt the right through the courts to publish the emails revealed by a Barclays whistleblower that in the year that they made ten billion profit they paid ten million in corporation tax – one percent! – their internal dialogue revealed that they were confident that “no agency in the UK or US government was big enough to take us on”, well it barely registered for more than a week’s worth of headlines.
Imagine how that played in the boardrooms? They must have been ecstatic at our insouciance. Millions spent trying to block the news and when it finally appears we shrug our shoulders, turn back to the X-Factor, turn back to the rack in TK Maxx, back to the chiller cabinet in the local convenience store.
Gideon and the rest of the Eton Young Team are just their cronies.
Until we turn and face this problem en masse all notions of solidarity are just that, notions.
So let me get this Whyte ?
350k is needed fir hun tickets at Celtic Park and 300k for Gonad Mc Entrail ?
Did Gonad get his money today in cash ? If not that story is not over ?

I didn’t hear Sally’s comments either, they were reported on the BBC, but only as hearsay from a little known website. Well done NL for not rising to the LL baiting and giving them their easy headlines, Aluko dived, he got caught, O’Connor dived, he didn’t get caught!
Next time your gaffer pulls you up for being late try ‘…everybody else is daein it!…’, see how far that gets you!

I think if the Eurozone tanks then we will see the mass demonstrations you describe, maybe even the grinding poverty in the UK over the next 5 years, all it takes a poll-tax riot event and the politicians start shiteing it, the system seems to be eating itself driven by the greed of the super-rich and probably the USA.
Fat Sally is the only person that has stated that Aluko did not dive.
Has anyone else ?

Thanks Auldheid,
so why didn’t the reports mention this comprehensive failure of the process? Rhetorical question I know.
The hun will always try to undermine anything that undermines their built-in advantage, as night follows day.
No fan of Cameron, but he would have been insane to sign up to that treaty cobbled together by Merkozy. Insane.
UK is in a difficult place, but speaking to some friends in Italy they are actually envious that we have retained some degree of sovreignty. Italy will be ruled by the Germans for the next decade at least.
This is all going to get very ugly.

Where is Naismith going with his ‘I want to play for team GB’, from his armchair, stookieid up? I didn’t actually read the article, anything to do with good old Naisy over-stresses me.
Italiabhoy.
The only reason he didn’t go for it was to keep the banking industry alive.
Keep that 1 percent happy. Stuff the rest. We’ll all suffer as a result.
This idea taht Sally has been sold a kipper by Watty and Moonbeams is crap.
Sally knows he is shafting the huns. The contract bestowed on a man of his inability is mouth watering.
Sally is well and truly rodgering the huns a new one. They are too dumb to realise.

One to try is Celtic v Falkirk and I see we have the linesman who gave it against Artur this Saturday against Hearts

Twinbhoy,
I think it will take cataclysmic social failure as well, sadly.
For most folk globalisation means endless competition, endless chipping away at wages, hours, conditions, pensions etc. There is always ten people at the door, so to speak, very happy to fulfil your task – service industry, manufacturing etc – for less money, longer hours etc. Where they come from there is no welfare state to speak of.
But for the professional elite, the board members and their wallahs – accountants, lawyers, stockbrokers, financiers, consultants etc – it’s heaven on earth. Where previously they were involved in management, mergers and acquisitions on a regional scale with rewards to match they are now involved with transnational corporations and the rewards have skyrocketed to match that. In areas where this class of people are concentrated – Greater London, e.g. – there is just about enough trickle down from building and decorating their gazebos, say :)) to make the trickle down theory of economics just about semi-viable.
Everyone else?
Umm, well…
Tuck in to a festive feast of football on Celtic TV
By: Gregor Kyle on 09 Dec, 2011 16:40
THIS weekend we take on Hearts here at Celtic Park, kicking off a big week of crucial games on the club’s official online channel.
We’ll have live coverage of tomorrow’s match on Celtic TV – with live video for overseas subscribers and live audio commentary, followed by our usual match replay at 10pm, for those in the UK and Ireland.
The festive period is always a crucial time in the season and this term, the games are vital as Neil Lennon’s Bhoys continue to claw back vital ground in the title race.

And as a Christmas treat, Celtic TV will also have exclusive live video coverage of the Christmas Eve meeting with Kilmarnock, here at Paradise.
Sandwiched in the midst of that hat-trick is our final UEFA Europa League group-stage game against Udinese, where the Hoops need a victory to qualify for the knockout phase of the tournament, and we also have the small matter of a derby game on Wednesday, December 28 at Celtic Park.
This is a crucial month in the championship race and we’ll take you right to the heart of the action, here on Celtic TV.
We also have a new-look website for supporters to login to at http://www.celticfc.tv – which is now open to Mac users and has the interactive ‘Celtic Wall’, where you can speak to fellow Celtic supporters.

A man in Scotland calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve and says,
“I hate to ruin your day but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough”.
“Dad, what are you talking about?'” the son screams.
“We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer”, the father says. “We’re sick of each other and I’m sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Leeds and tell her”.
Frantically, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone, “Like hell they’re getting divorced”, she shouts, “I’ll take care of this”.
She calls Scotland immediately and screams at her father, “You are NOT getting divorced. Don’t do a single thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?”and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.
“Done! They’re coming for Christmas – and they’re paying their own way.”

Good one :-)
Good evening CQN , virgin quiz host tonight so please be gentle. Usual rules, 1st person to answer gets double points, no googling for the answers. We have 5 QUICK rounds.
In addition, it is a very special weekend for Kano, his family, CQN and the Celtic Family. It is 2 years since the Celtic Family, who had worked together for a few months, achieved its goal and Kano got home before Christmas – a truly remarkable story and outstanding achievement. Secondly, the Kano Foundation which was set-up on the back of that monumental achievement, is taking its 1000th child to the football tomorrow, again another outstanding achievement.
The plan is after the quiz, I have a message to post and if you can all have a toast ready for us to toast Kano being home and every Celtic fan who helped achieve this, as well as the bhoys (& Ghirls) who continue the amazing work today with the Kano Foundation.
Round 1 at 9pm, sharp!

A Greenock man is down the Celtic social club on a Friday night and buy’s a raffle ticket.
Lo and behold, he scoops first prize, and the prize is a camel……..
“Whit the hell am I gonnie dae with a camel?” he asked his pal.
“camels are rerr hings mate, they eat aw yir grass and shite on yir plants, you’ll never need to do any gardening again!”
So, the guy finishes his beer and starts to think how he can explain this camel to his wife. He chucks a rope around the camels neck and walks off to the bus stop to wait on the Braeside bus.
The bus pulls up and the driver points to a big sign ‘NO PETS ALLOWED’
Brainwave: “I’ll just ride it up the road” he says to himself.
So while he’s heading up the road, he gets to Barr’s Cottage and thinks to himself that he can get last orders in.
So he jumps off his camel and ties it to the railings and goes upstairs at Barr’s Cottage for a couple of swift halfs.
He comes out later and the camel’s away.
”Some wee skank fae the Bow Road must hae stole it” he thinks to himself.
So he phones the Polis and after the usual half hour wait they arrive.
“Right pal, geez a description o’ this camel, wis it a Sahara Desert wan?” asks the big Polis.
“nae idea said the guy, am a welder in Kincaids, av no got a clue aboot camels”
So the Polis asks’, “many humps did it huv on its back then?”
So the wee guy replies, ” Telt you big yin, av nae ideas aboot they camel hings, the only thing I know is that the camel wis female.”
The Polis then asks him to explain how he knew it was a female.
“Well when i wis riding it up the road I passed a bus stop and I heard a bloke sayin tae his mate, “check oot the fanny on that camel”
