Rest Rogic through the international break

398

The goal Livingston scored to defeat Celtic in September was their solitary strike in a run of six games.  Since then, form has bounced, they won 0-3 at St Johnstone, 2-3 at Ross County and drew 1-1 at home to Dundee United.  Notwithstanding that, I expect a backlash from Celtic tomorrow that goes someway to resolving the awful performance we put in at the Plastic Pasta Pitch.

Not so long ago, the persistent rain that has fallen on Scotland this week, would turn pitches into quagmires, unfit for precision passing.  By contrast, a soaking Easter Road on Wednesday could hardly be more accommodating to Celtic’s fast passing style.  Celtic Park should be equally accommodating tomorrow.

Although Tom Rogic was instrumental to the best of our performance against Hibs, there is no reason to risk his hamstring so soon.  Resting him for the trip to Hungary and then to Dens Park next weekend, would be enough to keep him from globetrotting with Australia during the subsequent international break.

We return from that break to a League Cup semi-final and a relentless run of fixtures ahead of the winter break.  A bit of squad management with Tom right now makes sense.

    The Green Brigade

     

    The Celtic Trust

     

    Both of these groups should’ve had their tickets remove permanently, after last seasons sevconian theatrical performance in the car park.

     

    Six months of protesting about the “PLC Frauds” as the banners screamed out.

     

    And yet, when renewal time came, the fraudulent Green Brigade and Celtic Trust were at the front of the queue to financially enrich their PLC grand masters Frauds to the tune of circa £700 per head !!!

     

    They then released a statement ala sevconia, which read,

     

    “We support Ange, NOT the PLC.”

     

    How can you NOT support the PLC when you’ve just handed them circa £700 per head?

     

    Fakery personified.

     

    Celtic fc is as good as dead, if it no longer has the fans to effect regime change and remove all of the masonic/Tory instruments from the club.

     

    PLC board

     

    Any board

    all of these items are masonic/Tory instruments.

     

    100% of Celtic FC’s enemies are terrified of George Galloway.

     

    Get GG in as leader of the club, a club that has to be a revolution, no revolution had a board.

     

    Celtic support need, badly need, the education that their obviously NOT getting at these university things.

     

    Educated about, socialism, republicanism, working class ethics, Brexit, the EU, the ScotsGov, Irish history, Russia, Palestine, China, wokeism, the fake news SMSM, etc etc.

     

    George Galloway would offer Celtic, its supporters, and the public at large, the direction and thinking skills that have diminished since the early 1970’s, when Celtic fc was a giant of football.

     

    Who can lace George Galloway’s boots from any level of Celtic fc, or Scottish society at large?

     

    Not a single name.

     

    And yet you look down your battered brown noses from each of your two faces, at George Galloway?

    Your staunch defence of Brian Wilson simply because he is, like you, a Red Tory, stinks of rank hypocrisy.

     

     

    For more than 10 years you have regularly posted a quote by Dermot Desmond in which he praises Rangers FC.

     

     

    Can we now assume that were DD a member/supporter of the Red Tories, you would never have posted that quote?

     

     

    I think we should be told.

  3. see this imminent appointment of the ACC Higgins person, can anyone point me in the direction of the job advert ? i would like to see if I should have had applied.

    George Galloway would terrify the MSSM and the huns.

    Unfortunately he would attract more hate from within than Brian Wilson. For the same reason

    The cult are forever criticising Brian Wilson on here. You know that perfectly well. And it has hee haw to do with his attitude to the huns. It’s because he has the cheek to call them out.

     

    And still no one has suggested which SNP politico could replace him. Don’t you find that strange? They talk such a good game you’d think there would be at least one name they could suggest.

     

     

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

     

     

    Quite a sweeping generalisation. I criticised Brian Wilson because he chose in his capacity as a Director of Celtic to write an obituary which on the whole subject of ‘Rangers’, Sevco I can’t believe it’s Rangers’ he wrote a complete falsehood. I have never heard anyone say, even his detractors, that he is stupid so he knew exactly what he was writing. That’s why I criticised him. I am not a member of any ‘cult’ or political party, nor have I ever even voted for any party in Scotland, I left the country almost 35 years ago! I have no insight why others have criticised Brian Wilson but for my part it was simply because of the falsehood which he repeated in a national newspaper.

    As I said above, the haters will probably come from the same stable as the car park sevconians.

     

    That’s because they’re thick, and easily mugged, that’s obvious.

     

    Oh, and what are you telling me your name for, Kev?

    see this imminent appointment of the ACC Higgins person, can anyone point me in the direction of the job advert ? i would like to see if I should have had applied.

     

    ————————-

     

     

    Hi Saint Stivs

     

     

    I’ve seen no confirmation of an appointment or an advert, and don’t know where the information comes from – which is why I have been careful to say ‘IF’ in any of my own comments – can’t speak for others, though.

     

     

    So, in this, the Board is ‘innocent’ until proven ‘guilty’.

     

     

    The same consideration wasn’t given to many fans who were dragged through the court system for ‘offensive behaviour’, where the only ‘offence’ was that taken by the people who were bringing the charges.

     

     

    In this case, I think it is better to over-react early and seek to prevent, than to handle the long-term fall-out if the rumour is proven true.

    all celebrities (sic) who participated in that Big Brother thing were paid a contractual fee.

     

    The piece that raised money for charity was the phone in votes, a very low percentage of which went to the participants nominated charity.

     

    GG used his fees to fund the Respect Party office. His fee was reported as £60,000, but later declared as £150,000. So he didnt really act like a big pussy because he was doing it for charidee.

     

    He gave up nothing,

     

     

    Didy you know that ?

     

     

    Ps, The Celtic Trust are Celtic PLC Shareholders, why would they give up their entitlement to buy a ticket ?

     

     

    Back to front thinking right there.

  13. ernie

     

    There is a possibility that, because of the abrasive nature of many of your posts , other posters want to disagree with you but find it difficult so to do as your arguments are invariably sound. I don`t think this is so in your posts re Brian Wilson. It seems blindingly obvious to me that very much the main thrust of the criticism is directed towards his reference to`Rangers` demotion etc.

     

    Do you really not believe that to be the case?

  14. BIG GEORGES FAN CLUB – HAIL, HAIL, WEE OSCAR on 29TH OCTOBER 2021 2:41 PM

     

     

    ——————–

     

     

    Not being an attender at away games in a number of years other than Hampden , I really enjoyed your tales of daring do to get tickets on your way to games, and that moment when you secure them for you and the bhoy was always a wee uplifitng thing.

     

     

    But you would often also tell of impacts to the young celtic supporters, and the general followers, always interesting.

     

     

    On saturday I happened to be outside the North Curve corner at halftime, trying to find a cousin. I went to the end barriers, and became intrigued by 4 high brass of the constabulary, and their intense staring inot the celtic supporters, vaping and smoking, laughing and joking,.

     

    They would point at individuals, cover their mouths, have a wee conflab, give a nod , and it went on for the whole 10 minutes or so i was there.

     

     

    It felt really wrong, intimidation right there, I am sure those being watched no they are, and in turn it ratches up.

     

     

    So, off what use is potential appointment of Higgins to the PLC ?

     

    What is the game ? what is the strategy ? Why would he be needed ?

     

     

    The board is to act in the best interests of the PLC , how would this appointment make them more money ?

     

     

    They need removed.

     

     

    Each move they make, is in their own best interests, never the collective interest of the small shareholders who make up the massed rank and file.

    Thanks.

  16. Brian Wilson is a nice man. He is very knowledgeable about Celtic. He is also a former Cabinet minister and brings a good deal of political understanding to the Board Table. Previous his time at West Highland Free Press also demonstrates his knowledge in the journalist field. I have met him on several occasions and he has impressed me. I for one cannot understand the liquidation denier as in my discussions he knows the truth and knows exactly what happened.

  17. Thanks for the comments on J McC as the DM….. If he’s not fit then Big Nir could play in his favoured DM position…….

    Cheers Saint Stivs – agree with all of that. Intimidation is exactly what it is.

     

     

    I don’t group all of the police in the same category – many are genuinely there to help -saw some good examples at Hibs during the week.

     

     

    Tim in the top tier was worse for wear and in danger of falling over the barrier. Heard the police discussion – we were right in the front row. Was all about keeping the bhoy safe from falling over – advised the stewards to try to subtly move the chap back from the edge. That’s what they should be doing – and that’s what many of them do – prevention of harm, not criminalising people for the sake of a ‘result’, and not just lifting real thugs long after the fact via camera footage.

     

     

    HH pal – and try to get to an away game – it is an absolute blast ;-)!!!!

  20. Agreed Bigbhoy, it can’t have been anything other than deliberate, there was no need to write in the obituary for Walter Smith about that subject, he could have left it alone, no one, ok me for sure, would have thought anything of it if he left it out. It was after all a piece about a man who has just died.

     

    I assume also that either he didn’t need to clear it with the PLC as it is their agreed take on things, or he did check it and no one had a problem with it. On this subject, it is not about opinions, it could not be clearer, both sporting rules and the law of the land state that Rangers FC founded in 1872 is dead all that remains is to see what happens to the carcass.

    I used to love it, very very seldom i never got a ticket, would always find a way, even if going in home ends.

     

    4 of my travelling companions moved away for work reasons, Cumbria, Blackpool and Sydney Oz, so it became lonesome.

     

     

    How do you even get on the away ticket allocation officially through the club ?

     

     

    I seen the daft rules for Hibs “you can apply if you been to 1 this year and 8 last year”, how the hell does it even work.

  22. martin o'seville on

    Brian Wilson is one of the many millions of reasons as to why the Labour party is dead.

     

    To offer the PLC board the kind of thinking that helped kill his political party, will be helpful to Celtic fc in what way?

     

    Writing a very one sided book for a board that would soon be sacked, giving several speeches for Celtic Graves Society, and carrying the baggage of a toxic, war mongering, Labour party, shouldn’t entitle you to a seat on the Celtic board.

     

    No wonder the club is effed with people like Brian Wilson directing it.

     

    NED’s shouldn’t be anywhere near the top of the club.

     

    You either direct, or you don’t.

     

    As I’ve said, boards are just layers of cliqueism.

     

    How many cages has Brian Wilson rattled?

     

    Because that’s what a minority community club has to do, rattle cages.

     

    We need a Celtic fc run by people, active people, who’ll remove tickets from any “so called” supporter who votes for a political party which can’t, won’t, even try to hide its hatred, naked hatred, of Celtic fc.

     

    We don’t need NED PLC gravy train leeches who write boring as f articles for ANY of our sworn enemies in SMSM.

  23. martin o'seville on

    Saint Stivs, do you have a name yet?

     

    100% of our enemies are terrified of George Galloway.

     

    Name who your alternative name to George Galloway, who would make 100% of Celtic’s enemies terrified of your preferred name?

     

    One name will do.

    I think the vast majority of people in Scotland think Gorgeous is a free loading arsehole who would take a peece at anyone’s door. A little like a left leaning Boris Johnson.

  25. From yesterday’s article:

     

     

    This was researched and posted by BIG GEORGES FAN CLUB a couple of years ago. Kudos to him for so doing. It should be forwarded to Brian Wilson to remind him of some history. These are chiels that winna ding. They are irrefutable facts that should be retained by all Celtic fans to prevent them being airbrushed from history. I have no enmity for Brian Wilson and I have no interest in his politics. That an author, a journalist, and a director of Celtic would publicly endorse in a National newspaper an oft repeated, patently obvious falsehood when there is absolutely no need to refer to it, is inexplicable to me.

     

     

    Here are the facts, as posted by BIG GEORGES FAN CLUB. They have been invaluable to me in refuting arguments by long term friends who support the entity out of Govan. It effectively silences them.

     

     

    So – for the record, there are three entities of interest – and please be careful about the names which were deliberately used to divert those not paying – or not wishing to pay – attention:

     

     

    1) THE RANGERS FOOTBALL CLUB P.L.C. (27 May 1899 – 31 Jul 2012 – Company number SC004276) It was renamed as RFC 2012 P.L.C. on 31 July 2012 to fool idiots.

     

     

    This is the Rangers we all grew up detesting– the winner of 54 titles, the club with an apartheid no-Catholic policy for most of its existence.

     

     

    During the period since ‘Rangers’ were formed, there was no separation of ‘Rangers the Club’ and ‘Rangers the Company’ – this is a fabrication and a fantasy. They were one and the same (formed in 1882 as a club and incorporated into a company in 1899).

     

     

    Rangers – as was – are dead – end of story.

     

     

    2) RANGERS FOOTBALL P.L.C. (established on 16 November 2012 – Company number SC437060).

     

     

    It was renamed as RANGERS INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL CLUB PLC on 27 November 2012.

     

     

    This is the company that was established in November 2012 to operate the new club (see below – initially named as SEVCO SCOTLAND LIMITED)

     

     

    3) SEVCO SCOTLAND LIMITED (established 29 May 2012 – Company number SC425159).

     

     

    It was renamed as The Rangers Football Club Limited on 31 Jul 2012.

     

     

    It is listed as carrying out ‘Activities of a sports club’.

     

     

    This is the NEW football club currently operating out of Ibrox and established from the component parts purchased from the Administrators of, and in the wake of the demise of, the ‘real Rangers’ (THE RANGERS FOOTBALL CLUB P.L.C. – now know as RFC 2012 P.L.C. in liquidation)

     

     

    It is also what many willfully ignorant, or misinformed, people now regard as being the same club as the one that is currently in liquidation (i.e., RFC 2012 P.L.C. in liquidation).

     

     

    It is probably helpful to view the entities in the numerical order of Companies House registration:

     

     

    Rangers – the original Evil Empire

     

     

    * Company number SC004276 – incorporated in May 1899 : The original Rangers – now in liquidation – they have ceased to be.

     

     

    The New Pretendy Rangers

     

     

    * Company number SC425159 – incorporated in May 2012 : SEVCO SCOTLAND LIMITED – the new ‘Rangers’ football team / club

     

     

    * Company number SC437060 – incorporated in Nov 2012 : RANGERS FOOTBALL P.L.C. – the new ‘Rangers’ company that runs the new ‘Rangers’ football team / club

     

     

    Hope this helps clarify things for you, Brian. I suggest you publish a retraction, but I won’t hold my breath.

    Do you think that wee Jimmy k would get away with “maliciously” prosecuting a bus load of squirrels, to let David Murray off of the hook, if George Galloway was the leader of Celtic fc?

     

    Do think wee Jimmy k would still be standing after all of these years, if George Galloway was the leader of Celtic fc?

     

    Do you think that a Celtic fc, led by George Galloway, would’ve stood back and looked the other way, as Neil Francis Lennon took 100% of the blame for the “Shame Game” fiasco?

     

    And on, and on….

  27. martin o’seville on 29th October 2021 3:38 pm

     

     

    Do you think GG would be anywhere near Celtic if more money was available elsewhere?

  28. martin o'seville on

    George Galloway should be the new Celtic way.

     

    Or, Celtic fc can whither on the vine, throwing leagues to keep the £49 £52 £55? hate fest games alive, propped up by supporters who are there to be took, with ease.

     

    Huns need £40 million European money, as the Brian old firm Wilson’s look the other way AGAIN !!!

    Correct.

     

    It has nowt to do with Brian Wilsons politics

     

     

    All to do with a Celtic board member talking incorrectly and not factually about one of 2 identities that play out of ibrox

     

    The latest marketed version of labour on here.ernie etc would be down on any other board member if they had said what Brian Wilson said,say bankier or the great Desmond himself but a Labour man talks of hun continuity and the reaction to it is political .not from me.hes getting it as he puts continuity over cheating.
