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.

Mrs S of T’s reaction to the news.-
” Time you became an Italian citizen “
TonyD –
I would prefer a republic too. One fight at a time though.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
Well that’s Trident scrapped and austerity at an end..
Easy, wasn’t it?
MadMitch- it brought in a Labour Government under Tony Blair; who took the huge mandate he’d been given to create his own cult, based around his own omnipotence.
The rank and file of the parliamentary party, who had been out of power for so long, saw him as an election winning machine,and therefore went along with some of his more ill advised decisions, not least the war in Iraq.
In the fullness of time the scales fell off the voters’ eyes, and they are never slow to punish those who they feel have duped them.
Art of war, bravery or stupidity. Take your pick. They often come in pairs.
Snake. Ms black is a well known hear of Celtic. Now why you may ask? racism. Also I live next to some of the SNP cabal in Scotland. They are racists and I have heard that racism directly from the horses mouth.
Anyway off to work. As I said good luck to all of us. We are going to need it I am afraid.

Iraq ?
What about all the other issues in the ME?
Can you not see that this one dimensional focus is destroying you and your understanding of politics.
Why Iraq?
Why 2003 only?
Did you ever get upset over the Iran Iraq war?
Any thoughts on dictatorship vs democracy and demographics?
You seem to be on a huge search to find something to complain about.
You just do not seem to be able to let go.
Any thoughts on Libya / Egypt / Syria / ISIL and any other manufactured radical sects?
Sftb
There may be trouble ahead.

That much we can certainly agree on.
Cameron’s majority in England will actually allow him to play a clever game with Scotland. Ignore at times. On other occasions give responsibilities to Holyrood without the full authority and resources to deliver them.
I expect a rise of ‘grumpy but not Garnet’ english nationalism and an understandable wtf scunner towards the scots.
The EU referendum may be pivotal.
I said as soon as devolution was created that the seeds of the ultimate end of union had been accidentally sown.
I still believe last Sep was the ‘least bad’ opportunity to make the break.
But I still respect all the many other views on here. And you’re no less a patriot (in the +ve sense) or Tim. For the record….,.

Bluegrasscelt the SNP have been in power in Scotland for ages. How come they haven’t tackled the foodbank issue but had a large underspend.
Ain’t that curious…….
well, good to see that there’s no sensationalist nonsense been spoken on here this morning!
when do the riots start?
So it looks like a Tory majority.Even if Labour had won in Scotland it wouldn’t have mattered. Be afraid, be very afraid.

It’s an SNP they want under the Union Jack, what part of that can’t you get? Lol,
Try running a referendum up here saying no Union Jack , or royal family connections, one Scotland on its own? Never gonny happen, playing at being independent, or being totally independent, are two diff. Things, and the SNP know that, but don’t talk about it.

Easy, wasn’t it?
It was possible for Scotland to get rid of Trident and fight austerity..we had the gift to do that at the referendum in September, unfortunately Labour and the Liberals committed political suicide by joining in with the tories to defeat the Yes vote
You reap what you sow……………..and it appears from Labour party supporters comments on CQN no lessons learned
Neganon2 Mibbees full FFA would have addressed that, who knows? It is certainly one of the issues Wee Nic brought up during her campaign. Remind me where the Scottish Labour Party stood on this matter??
DB @ 8.41
Where you and I might have seen New Labour I think we got Nervous Labour.
TB brought a lot to the party — no pun intended — and his insights could be productive and enlightening but he made the tent to big / wanted to be friends with everyone and lacked the confidence to put the boot into the forces of reaction who held him back with half hearted support and a few fine words.
He and cronies / lackeys like AC never seemed to fully make the transition from opposition to government and they ended up patronising the electorate / never treated them as grown ups feeding them with easy to digest pre planned / gridded PR puff rather than the full picture.
Still interested why Iraq takes centre stage 12 years on.
Why does no-one discuss what happened in 98 and what generated that failure?

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?
——————————————–
You need to calm down.
All this ranting and raving is totally futile and unnecessary .It won’t change a single thing.
The people have spoken, the rebels have won.
I ask that you respect the outcome of the plebiscite and stop behaving like a mad dog and a Fascist.
Have a nice day.
HH.
Have I got this right SNP 56 , Pandas 2 , Lab 1, Lib 1,Tory 1.
Delighted for the Pandas, visited their cousins in Beijing a couple of years ago bought a little toy one for one of my grandchildren. Liked the little bugger so much (the panda that is) that I kept it for myself. Its sitting across the room from me now giving me that same puzzled look it always gives. However deep inside I know its proud that the Pandas now have the second
largest representation of all parties in Scotland. Hail Hail
Until the last Panda.
Lionroar67 ….. “You reap what you sow”. Sums it up perfectly ma man :)
The usual unionist suspects on blaming the Scottish people for the failure of labour.
Utter keech,thats democracy for ye the people decide but of course you all know better than the people.
Ed balls was scapegoating the SNP last night who is he blaming today?
I am one of those traditional labour voters who now votes SNP because the political map of the UK is more polarised that it has ever been,rule britannia eh Ernie?
16 roads has left the discussion.
Opportunity spurned to put his case but failed.
Shame really.

Spot on mate,their arrogance knows no bounds,why bother voting lets just allow Ernie and his mates to decide for us.
Emdy think Nicola Sturgeon looks like a tall Jeanette Krankie?

FFA means huge cuts in Scotland.
A very high price will be paid by the poorest to make a political point.
JMCF was right to highlight this.
I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.
Easy way out for the Tories to get rid of the Barnett formula.
No blood, no fingerprints but job done.
It’s been a long night … and the irony is that the exit poll that pretty much everyone dismissed at 10pm last night turned out to be pretty accurate.
Remember what Rupert Murdoch wanted? Tory votes in England and SNP votes in Scotland. Seems like he got what he wanted once more.
Yesterday’s vote was not about Independence ….
More about an energised SNP offering an alternative to a shambolic Labour Party who were happy to sleepwalk into electoral armageddon
Just seen a guy dressed up in all the Monster raving Loony party regalia standing beside Boris Johnson. God ! that guy looks a buffoon.
Gordon … @ 9.00
Oh yes the Old Monkey Gland “Dream Team”.

Do you know the political background to the pandas being sent to Scotland?
You’re probably not bothered.
It concerns human rights abuses in China.
The Sun doesn’t tell people how to vote… it looks at the way the votes are going and supports that party.. if they thought labour were going to win they would have came out for labour., here and england. The government has borrowed more money than ever. taken money from the poor and given it to the middle classes. They were always going to win.. never mind let’s celebrate the first world war, VE day and the Royal baby………
……….
Mhairi Black the 20yr old SNP candidate has become the youngest MP elected to the House of Commons since 1667 and she enters parliament with the following sound-bites
1. ”I want to put the nut in Labour councillors”
2. ‘I really f***** hate Celtic’
She’s going to be a real asset!
Good bless all Tims irrespective of political persuasion.

The shrewd thing for the Tories to do now is provide FFA straight away.
It will allow them to slash spending and shift responsibility onto the SNP.
It’s not like the SNP could object.
Pf … @ 9.01
JM et al were farting against thunder.
The Nat offering was tripe from start to finish — see IFS analysis for the detail.
However no-one was listening.
2015 in Scotland was an emotional play.
The SMSM has been bought off by the Nats.
The London MSM media needed them to do well to get Dave the Rave re-elected.
The Indy endorsement showed just how much the London establishment wanted to keep Labour out.
We are collateral damage in the bigger UK play.
so the Labour cocks took a floppy in the genital erection and they have just had to take the Balls out
who would have thunked it.

Exactly,whether you like it or not the Scottish electorate have rejected old politics.
They have not been duped,they are not stupid they just realise the big two no longer represent them.Tories with the help of the UK press have played a blinder and rubbed salt into the wounds of middle England I hope they don’t live to regret that decision.
Great news is we got rid of horrible bar stewards like Ian Davidson,Murphy and both Alexanders just a pity Mundell survived buts thats farmers for you.
ps john Major, UKs largest majority, was my MP at one time. I asked how people were voting and they all, even the lowest paid, were voting for him. i asked thenm why they didn’t vote labour.. “Because they can’t win!” How can you argue with that.. I told them it wasn’t the bookies, but they all wanted to vote for the winner..insane… The same happened last night in England, and to an extent in Scotland. Heard people say they would vote tory because it’s “better the devil you know”.. A kind of Stockholm syndrome!

Will the SNP respect the outcome of the Sept plebiscite where they claimed it was a once in a lifetime event? And no I am not a unionist but it is a fair question.

I believe she also refers to us as scum.
Congratulations to Ernie for making this prediction: “The SNP will implode after the referendum”.

Can’t believe for one moment the Tories would contemplate FFA for Scotland.
