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.

Watching David Cameron giving a speech to the Tory fateful.Get me a big saw and I’ll try and split the country myself.
Another great speaks the truth.
Speaking in this month’s issue of Four Four Two magazine, former Barcelona star Deco has admitted that Celtic fans are the best in the world.
Deco, now 37, has retired from professional football but had an illustrious career, which was kick started by Jose Mourinho at Porto.
The Brazilian-born Portugal international was a key player under Mourinho, helping Porto win the 2004 Champions League trophy against all the odds.
Whilst Deco went on to become a hero at Barcelona and finished his career with Chelsea and then Fluminense, he has recalled one striking moment of his time in football.
One year before winning the Champions League, Porto secured the UEFA Cup trophy with a dramatic 3-2 win over Celtic in extra time.
A topsy-turvy clash in Seville ended with Mourinho and his Porto side winning the UEFA Cup, with Deco playing a key role as the chief playmaker of the team.
Now, speaking to Four Four Two, Deco says that the UEFA Cup Final showed him that Celtic have the best fans in the world after an incredible night in Seville.
“Celtic fans are the best in the world,” said Deco. “There were 2,000 of them outside the 2003 UEFA Cup Final in Seville without tickets, while inside the atmosphere was incredible. That was one of the best finals I ever played in,” he added.
This is a sentiment echoed by his former Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi, who recently told the Celtic official website that the Bhoys have the best atmosphere in Europe – and hopefully, Celtic will be returning to the Champions League group stage next season.

Agree with part of that.Yes the Tories will have a small majority with a potential DUP back up, they want £1 billion more for Northern Ireland. Most commentators are liking this government to Majors “tail wag the dog” one of the 90′s.Every Tory leader is scared of being the prime minister who split the union and concessions on tax raising could lead to that.My humble opinion.
————————————————————–
I think you’re right mate – they will need to do deals with such a small majority. The DUP will be easier for them to bribe.
Case of election fraud currently being investigated in Glasgow,
The voter gave his address as 150 Edmiston Drive Ibrox,
turns out the occupier died in 2012,
I’m now away for a lie down

Emdy think Nicola Sturgeon looks like a tall Jeanette Krankie?
No !!!!!!!!!!.Anybody think you sound like a bitter loser?.
Targeting the mythical middle ground hasn’t worked for Labour. But it could have been even worse for them – they could have won the election and then gone ahead with their new Tory programme, thereby committing suicide and imploding at the next election.
(I realise of course that it’s not wise to make predictions about political parties imploding.)
TBB,
I saw the guy with the Hoops. I mentioned it to the person watching with me. We wondered if he had stayed in Seville after that game.

The DUP want another £1 billion for Northern Ireland.Watch them give that up for the right to march wherever they want.As you say, easily bribed.
Ernie Lynch and Neganon spitting tacks.Funny how the people who smugly kept telling us “The people have voted”.Kept hitting us all with the Referendum numbers saying,”You lost,get over it”are now on moaning and whingeing about who people voted for.
Hypocrites.

you are being a bit selective in your scaremongering tactics line there are you not?
and yes i feel for the poor as well – the scottish labour party were so close to eradicating it as well
aye right
utter sensationalist unfounded guesswork pishwater being spoken on here this morning
Oot n aboot in Sciacca.
2 oop north English chaps in a bar – skin like barbecued prawns..Sporting the seemingly obligatory artistic beards. Connected to the web and mightily miffed at the result. One of their phones went –
” Yes – I know – its depressing – 5 more years of that lot and out of Europe soon. .******* UKIP came second in my constituency.Imagine living somewhere where there are people who believe that the only reason they aren’t a brain surgeon is that a guy from Poland is prepared to do it for less “

They’ll be delighted at the outcome of this election.
Cant believe it’s a year since we lost wee Oscar. All the best to his mum and dad on this sad but poignant day.
Will make a wee donation to mouldy’s fund later.
Have a good day fellow timmites.
Balls burst!

Thoughts and prayers with Wee Oscar Knox’s family today, a brave wee Bhoy, never forgotten (NM)
the battered bunnet.
I watched that game . I saw one guy wearing the hoops.Seville surprised me.- big / pumped up and muscular.. Their physicality surprised me..Some of them looked like Too Much Coffee Man.
What the hurting Labour supporters on this blog fail to acknowledge is that even if the Labour Party had retained all its seats in Scotland the result would have still been the same – victory for David Cameron and the Tories. Time for Labour to elect a credible leader – perhaps a woman.
The SNP landslide makes any forthcoming referendum on Europe very interesting, especially if the English vote to leave Europe and the Scots vote to remain in Europe. That would in effect cause a major problem to the Union.
Ps, delighted that Odd Balls lost his seat but I would have preferred it not to have been to a Tory.
Bluegrasscelt from earlier – the SNP could have raised taxes to redistribute wealth and help eradicate foodbanks. They had the power but didnt use it. They were too busy trying to bribe us by freeezing council taxes.
Labour were not in power.
What has happenned has happenned. We will all reap what has been sown.
God Bless wee Oscar, he bravery knew no bounds. Oscar RIP.
Pog your nationalism is blinding you.
I have a UKIP candidate in my constituency but can’t for the life of me figure out why they would stand after Farage spending months talking about cutting the amount of “English tax” that goes “over the wall to Scotland”?
foghorn leghorn
Not selective at all, I don’t like any politicians, they are pretty much all liars and charlatans, but particularly I loathe the Tories and the SNP.
They all scaremonger but the Tories have done it better than everyone else and have now an improved mandate to continue austerity (already stated by Osborne) and will make the cuts that will hit the poorest hardest.
That is the outcome of this election and we will all have to live with it, food banks will increase as a consequence. I am lucky enough to be able to contribute something to the food banks so I wont suffer much but I know plenty who will.
The Tories have won a mandate to cut up to 12 billion which so far, they have not explained how it will be done, they don’t know, they said as much in the lead up to yesterday. You can be damn sure they will target the poor, its I their DNA.
The people have spoken. Get over it.
Anyway work to be done definitely oot this time…………
God Bless Wee Oscar RIP
Milliband oot, Clegg oot, Murphy oot, KevJ oot.
Thoughts with Oscar and his family, on my wife’s birthday.
Lib Dems lost deposit (polled <5%) in over 300 seats

Lib Dems have 8 seats and 2.3m votes
DUP have 8 seats and 184,260 votes
SNP have 1.45m votes and 56 seats
UKIP have 3.77m votes and 1 seat
Green party 1 million votes and 1 seat
Labour party in Scotland 25% of vote and 1 MP
Democracy in the UK……………………………..madness
Balls oot!
ACGR
Has AN not been on? I seem to recall he predicted Labour would not lose one seat to the SNP at least as late as February this year.
At least there is one of our number who is even worse at predicting than me!

That’s the real story for me. FPP is undemocratic and outdated.
Considering the tories will now have the power to change constituency borders I’m terrified.
Ernie you are not very magmanamous? in defeat are you. Take some time out, regroup and comeback with some fresh ideas. Even for you the panda quip was laughable. Take a chill pil. H H Hebcelt
Labour had the opportunity to reform the electoral system when they were in power for 13 years and did feck all about it because it suited them then.
It would be a bit hypocritical to complain about the first past the post system now.
