There would have been no surprise reading Ronny Deila’s ‘heaven and hell’ season in the Celtic View. It must have been an enthralling season for the manager but, good grief, it started with an 8.6 on the Strachan Early Season Scale.
These experiences mark us. We’ve watched footballers and managers grow weary (another word for lazy) in the past, as their early groundwork waned during good times, but memories like Legia or Maribor will inform every decision Ronny Deila makes for the next four months. He needs to use that ‘Never again’ month as fuel right now.
Did you sign the petition yesterday to demand the Scottish Government repeal their ill-conceived nonsense of a law which the entire country outside of Holyrood, and a few elites at Police Scotland, know is an abomination? If not, here’s your chance.

You’ve lost the plot Tony 67 I’m sorry to say. Tories are on target for 325 regardless. Where does the 45 labour seats in Scotland change that? That would only give them …….aw, do the Math…Maths?
Just saying my piece, don’t want to get to into it mate, it is what it is, we are in a mess, and the Tory party won’t miss us and hit the wall, I see troubles and riots ahead, this SNP are dangerous bullies, and will stop at nothing with there agenda, the future is not looking good, and that’s my last word on it.
Well Tony D at least we agree on something.
It’s going to be absolutely awful.
Good luck to everyone.
Off the radar.
Flying blind.
Political compass going kaput.
This is worse — much worse — than 92.
At least Old Monkey Glands to what he wanted.
The Rupert Murdoch Dream Team — Dave the Rave and Vinegar T*ts.
A match made in working class hell.
Oh well what next, what can we look forward too?
From past experience when will the UK only economic shock happen?
Last week in September or second week in October?

16 roads – there was me thinking you had a clever pun….

Ha! Need to ditch this stupid fone!
Hope yous all have a brilliant wee day today.
Slan.

Full steam ahead for Tory cuts and austerity
That Maihri Black from Paisley , is that her that she said she hates Glasgow Celtic?
Good morning CQN,
RIP the NHS (irrespective of whether NHS Scotland or NHS England is your provider).
Tony67, not wanting to offend either bud. Just stating the stats you quoted. I know you said last word but with respect, I don’t know what the “agenda” you are suggesting but a massive majority of self respecting Scots agree that we need a voice in Westminster. Believe it or not , the SNP are far more left wing than the Labour Party in Scotland by a country mile. If that’s what it takes for the vast and I mean ,vast populous of Scots who want to bring about a more equal and more embracing Scotland for all, then bring it on. H H
Too much pash to scroll through today. I don’t know how some of you can make up such guff.
Catch ye closer to Sunday.
Hail Hail.
My friends in Celtic,
Well the people have spoken and the Sun newspaper seems king( or queen ) maker..
I ony hope that from a Scottish perspective we don’t live to regret the 7th May 2015. I did find it slightly unnerving that to the orchestrated hordes of high vis vests if I was not with the snp then I was a traitor.
There is a great expectation that the change we voted for will bring much more than hope, but one thing is for sure; change to the OB act will be very, very far down the food chain no matter how many petitions we sign.
I sincerely hope I am wrong, good luck & best wishes to our latest elected members.
HH.

The Tartan Tories were useful idiots to Old Monkey Glands and the Southern establishment. They were so good they did it twice.
Vinegar T*ts got her day in the UK sun.
She was bigged up by the London media looking for the new Clegg.
That allowed her to sell the lie about being the best way forward for Scotland.
They were used twice.
Once to cut down the number of Labour MP’s.
Twice to scare middle England into voting Tory to stop the “sweaty sock” hoardes.
Brilliant move by Dave the Rave.
He started this all of by his 7am boot in the “middles” to Scot land after the Referendum.
Then he gets the “Useful Idiots” to do the rest and he cashes in big still in the next hour.
Politics can be a complex game and one club golfers travelling in hope behind a personality cult are not the best people to play that game.
Good morning friends and Happy Friday from a dry, bright but insignificant East KIlbride.
Kick off in 54 and a bit hours… ;-)
Scottish Nationalists win Scotland in a landslide.
English Nationalists win England comfortably.
One inevitable conclusion!
Politics is a strange thing. The Lib-Dems get a kicking for helping out the tories in coalition.
Resulting in said tories winning more seats.
Swindon is a working-class town,yet returned its two tory MPs. As did many similar towns.
I detest the tories,and I loathe the SNP. But I’m sure everyone who voted did so with the best of intentions.
My opinions have once more been irrelevant at the ballot box,they will remain so for the next five years.
Scunnered,gaun for beer.
Neganon2- (which is one more than there are Scottish MP’s).
Never thought I’d see Labour wiped off the map in my lifetime.
This was a tale of leaders. Labour had Eminem (M&M) Murphy & Milliband. SNP had wee Nicola. Scotland found her credible, the other two…not so.
A tough 5 years ahead with the end result probably Scotland wanting Independence after 10 years of Tory austerity.
We could have been spared this if Scotland had been braver last October.
Off to work.

No offence taken mate, my point is, they want an independent Scotland along with the queen of England, to me that’s plastic, now make Scotland a republic, then I’ll listen, you want to make a clean break, fine, but they want Betty in the package, that doesent work for me.
16 roads .. @ 7.47
You really are showing your colours.
You have to wonder where you managed to get your world view.
Did a Labour burd chuck you?
You seem bitter beyond belief.
Still looking for Tommy S?

Australia have the Queen. Are they a plastic country?

I know you are upset but please explain why Maihri Black is a racist.
Gary 67,
The inevitable conclusion : it would seem socialism is dead.

Time for Cleggy,Millibandy,Murphyy and possibly even Faragey to go on the ole gardenin’ leave.
..it’s clearly far too early to see how things will work out- the seeds of the current Labour omnishambles were sown in the 1997 landslide.
BMCUWP -gaun for beer at 8 ack emma?
Maks sense tae me, and it maks sense tae Mo.
Ed Ballsy also maybe goin’ on gardenin’ leave.
We’re goin’ to need a bigger shed.
Ed Balls is gone.
That’s probably the SNP’s fault as well
Balls oot!
HH!!
BMCUWP,
Enjoy your swally. Nothing wrong with an early morning ” refreshment” . Had a few good stag mornings after a night shift.
HH.
Balls out!
Good morning CQN
An historic political night in Scotland, never have a party dominated the political landscape in Scotland the way the SNP now do
A 30% swing in Glasgow East from Labour to the SNP, i cant believe that swing from Labour to the SNP i’m truly gobsmacked to see Labour ousted in the City of my birth with such a seismic shift
Never trust Opinion polls, predicting a close referendum vote wrong !! a close election result ? wrong close prediction in 92, John Major won and tories in, wrong in 2015 David Cameron won and Tories in, who benefits from these wrong poll predictions………….Tories
Lessons learned ? never DO deals with the Tories, never join a political platform on any issue with the Tories……………….political suicide
Never take your voters for granted
Labour have to become the Scottish Labour party, independent from England, it has to rebuild from the ground up, become a grassroots party again
All opposition parties have to take on the MSM in the UK, the lies and propaganda from the likes of the Express, Daily Mail, Sun and Torygraph has to be defeated, the demise of these rags has to be accelerated
European fitba.
Seville 3 – Fiorentina 0.
A cameo from Fiorentina.Play well / create chances / fail to take those chances / concede a goal / fold / fortunate it was only 3 – 0. Question – are Seville always that physical ?
Napoli 1 – Dnipro 1.
A cameo from Napoli . Struggle v a parked bus – score – miss a barrowload of chances / gift the opposition a goal near the end of the game.
BM … @ 8.09
The Swindon effect ?!?
Part of the blue collar element in the town are good cap doffers.
Part of the working blue collar element can be raised to rage on the subject of welfare.
Part of the blue collar element use emotion over rational thinking — acting against their economic interest.
Plus the Lib Dems have exploded and the Christian Democrat wing have gone back to the Tories. Some of the attitudes have to be witnessed to be believed — the Sun / Mail prepare the ground and then some toff sows the seeds.
You get a better response for progressive politics and change in more affluent areas,
Those that are struggling can be scared into more of the same very easily.
I’m off to work while there’s still work to go to.
We will soon see how much of an anti-austerity fight there will be when Nicola goes up against the Tories.
I do not expect to see any fight to remove Trident, or reduce foodbanks, or preserving or creating Scottish jobs.
I expect the price they will ask for is to do with the Smith Commission and the re-drawing of lines on the map and departmental finances. That is their raison d’etre and will remain so no matter how many entryists they attract. How many of those entryists were elected as SNP MPs? How many helped elect precisely that group of SNP candidate loyalists that they previously opposed?
There may be trouble ahead.
Aff oot.
Balls has gone
Sums up a horrible night for Labour

Australia have the Queen. Are they a plastic country?
I think we have been around a little longer than Australia with a monarchy hung over our heads, my point is be a republic, like Ireland, no sovereignty at all.
I predicted an easy victory for tories. Any ‘undecided ‘ voter is nearly always a Tory vote. UKIP was set up to get Labour votes not Tory. Labour should have been mentioning the increased VAT that everyone has been paying for 5 years in every interview. Most of all no one in their right mind would elact Ed Milliband as a leader of a party. No matter how smart he is, sincere determined he comes across as bumbling, uncommitted and also aloof from normal people. After Kennedy beat Nixon every election is based on how the candidates look and sound on TV. I don’t like it but that is the way it is. To have Ed Milliband as leader was never going to work with a Tory press. They should have ditched him last year. PS VAT will not be increased this time but will be spread to other services and goods. If you are a millionaire you are made for the next 5 years.. don’t pay any tax and threaten to leave the country if they send another red ink letter.. .. PS if you want to drown your sorrows put any money you have on Huns beating QOS. Even if they don’t cross the half-way line they will get a penalty.

Your 97 comment — care to expand?
I have some thoughts on this but would love to hear others.
My view is more to do with the 13 years.
The Tories targeted 100 marginal seats in England and poured oodles of cash into winning them – this morning that strategy appears to have delivered a Tory UK majority.
The latest predictions reveal the Tories will have 329 seats whereas the SNP will have 56, just who in their right mind believes the SNP will wield any real power except perhaps in a very parochial way?
Sturgeon and the SNP are, and will continue to be small potatoes in UK politics and will only be diminished in this parliament by having to play politics to gain any crumbs for Scotland.
16 roads @ 07.12, I’d respectfully suggest your post will extend to include the SNP in 5 years time.
Tony. Still not getting it bud? You’re basing all agendas on one party. Like the referendum, the voice was there but the blinkers were on when when it came to Alex Salmon and what his party stood for. We all have a voice, we now have a larger voice. Embrace the change, look at the party who fought for our centre ground during this campaign. The OB was a wrong policy…absolutely, but invading Iraq was by far and against everything I believed in but the Blair Labour Party forced that on us …so what’s as bad? It’s what we believe in now . Hope over Fear bud….and let OUR people sing :)

Vinegar T*ts is up a creek without a paddle.
FFA = huge cuts in Scotland if the oil price stays low, smaller cuts if it doesn’t.
We are now a flea on the anti Putin / anti Iran / anti non trad oil dog / main event.
Barnett formula will be up for grabs and it will only change in one direction.
The fat put into the system by Blair and Brown is rapidly running out.
Bare bones soon and she will be the one holding the purse.
Biggest issue for me is that Middle Scotland and Middle England will be at each others throats from now on.
The Southern Establishment / Old Monkey Glands will soon max out on immigrants and welfare recipients so they will need another pantomime villain to keep the English plebs occupied / acting emotionally.
We will now be the target.
