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.

The real number for a majority is 324 as the 4 Shinners will not play ball. Cameron has 322 now with 13 seats to be decared. Predicted to get to 329.
A. He doesn’t need the DUP or anyone else and B. The SNP landslide is not the reason that ye are facing another 5 years of being ruled by those smug barstewards.
corkcelt.
Cameron will have a majority of around 6 which will cause him problems especially having a party with a significant number of Euro sceptics.Throw in a couple of by elections in the next few years which is the norm and protest votes can reduce this further.I cannot see him getting through 5 years without the DUP.

I am also anti nuclear weapons. However I am more anti being blown to pieces by an Iranian or North Korean nutjob.
I am also anti stepping on snails on a rainy day but it will happen because that is a reality of life.

Even with just 2 seats and nae Nigel, UKIP have still succeeded in forcing the mainstream debate on immigration a million miles to the right
They’re still going to get the EU referendum. They’ve managed to get the main parties to adopt their inherently racist ideology in some way.
Sorry to piss on the Let’s All Laugh At UKIP parade, but the state of things as they are is still, for now, a victory for their ideas.
Don’t dance on their grave just yet. Instead, fight their bullshit wherever it shows up. #NoPasarán
They also managed to take votes away from Labour………………….job done for Nigel and the skinheads
Feel sorry for Fred Miliband. Britain just wasn’t ready for an android PM. Hopefully the next series of Star Trek will comfort him.

You’re repeating the same point made by someone else. So I’ll repeat my reply to them.
‘But only if you discount totally the electoral effect of the reciprocal growth in English nationalism in response to the rise in Scottish nationalism.
Cameron seized on that and used it to his advantage.’
Ed Milband reminds me of the squid in Spongebob squarepants.
Galloway out?
Hee hee. Reprehensible campaign. Will he further allign himself with hardline Islam?
theglasgowcelticway, Agreed but the opposition is very fragmented, there are about 30 seats held by various smaller parties. so they are unlikely to lose any important vote in the house unless all of the smaller parties come together with Labour & the SNP and vote against the Government. Having an understanding with either The Liberals or the DUP might give them an extra bit of comfort but that is all.
I am also anti nuclear weapons. However I am more anti being blown to pieces by an Iranian or North Korean nutjob.
didnt realise that there were people as mad as that attending Celtic Park !!!!
Ernie
Your point has some validity.
But I don’t think voters in scotland should be expected to vote in the basis of not offending voters in SE England.
Don’t recall them having too much angst about my reaction every time they voted Thatcher/Tory.

As has been noted on here — you reap what you sow.
Clegg managed to scrape in with Tory tactical voting.
Reduced his party in 5 years what took 65 to build.
He really is lower than a snakes belly in a wagon rut.
Poisonous individual who sold out his party for a badge and a phone in show.
Utter walloper of a man.
Hopefully Yellow Book Liberal will become the insult it deserves to be.

Deeply depressed. Comforted by knowing he ” wont be here for long ”

Good Morning
Did Philvis Hold his seat.
Hopefully Cameron will do the decent thing and reform the electoral system to only allow the vote for people aged between 35 and 50 who have attended Public School and who have over €250,000 on deposit in a Swiss Bank .
Those ghastly working class types shouldn’t be allowed interfere with democracy any more

” This result has many implications for Europe..Having opened the Pandora’s Box of English Nationalism, Cameron will find it impossible to put it back in its box.The eurosceptics will now apply enormous pressure re leaving the European Union .If that happens the thousands and thousands of Italians living and working in the UK will have a big problem.Likewise the thousands and thousands of UK citizens living and working in Europe will have a big problem.”

astute observation S.o.T.it also has vast implications for Ireland as the U.K is its biggest trading partner according to Radio Eireann last night.

The SNP leadership went out of their way to stir up English nationalism. This is exactly the result they wanted.
I don’t believe that the SNP landslide was entirely down to an upsurge in nationalism post referendum.
The Labour Party in Scotland is not fit for purpose and people are fed up with these complacent patronising Blairite goons taking the electorate for granted.
corkcelt
The opposition is very fragmented but they all tend to agree on their opposition to Tory austerity.The Tories are more divided than they let on, euro sceptics,english votes for English mp’s ,so it may come close on some votes.
SOT
100% agreed with yer auld man.
ernie, I believe the United Kingdom is a busted flush anyway. If Scotland goes it alone there will be an opportunity for proper politics to emerge. Yes in the first flush of Independence the SNP would flourish but there has always been a huge Socialist vote in Scotland. Within a few years if a proper Scottish Labour/Socialist party was organised, I have little doubt that they would emerge as the leading party in an Independent Scotland.
Are Cable & Mc Vey gone???

You really cannot make this up.
Dave the Rave wants to rebuild the UK.
After spending 3 weeks trying to tear it apart.
When is the non Dom / foreigner owned press going to pull him up for this?
Oh sorry I have answered my own question.

‘there has always been a huge Socialist vote in Scotland’
##
That’s a myth.
The real losers are the working class of the UK, desperate times ahead for those on zero hour contracts, the unemployed and those dependant on disability allowances. In a 21st cent UK politics have been polarised to such an extent that ‘nationality’ takes precedent over a duty of care for the underprivileged of our society. The only positive I can take from this is that perhaps, just perhaps, a real Socialist party will arise in Scotland as an alternative to New Labour, SNP and Tories. I am not a unionist, but neither am I a supporter of the SNP. I fear despite a landside vote for the SNP Wee Alex’s ‘lion’s roar’ will fall on a deaf Bulldog’s ears in Westminster.
The lickspittles that return an SDLP candidate in Derry never cease to amaze me.
Highest unemployment in any constituency,chronic housing problems amongst other things,
yet Mark arrogant Durkan saunters home again.
John Hume is a lovely,lovely man who sadly is very ill now.
Durkan?
A pompous,condescending,horrible human being who I know from personal experience.
An Irishman? Don’t make me laugh..
Nigel Farage resigns
Thank heavens for small mercies I guess
ernie, Were the Labour party in Scotland ever a Socialist party or is it only in recent years they sold their soul.
Farage resigns.
An Tearmann
Pretty much agree – things looked bad enough round midSept to make me think we were capable of losing the league. Ronny might not want to admit but he got the team to win ugly first – think Dinamo and Astra wins- before we started to be good to watch. A better team now than a year ago I would say. Be good to catch up.

I see there are reports that Leeds want Celtic head scout David Moss as sporting director. David Moss? Has anyone heard of this guy?

David Cameron is on record stating ‘there will be no further referendums on Scottish independence’. The UK government has to legislate for such a plebiscite. The Tories will not allow a second as long as they remain in power and that looks like being for the foreseeable future with New Labours demise.
As 3rd largest party we will not only be on every select committee but we will expect to chair some of them. Every PMQs. 3rd in every debate
Ray Winstone
Or does he? Just seen his interview in which he’s resigning, taking the summer off and will consider putting his name forward for the leadership election in September.
When is a resignation not a resignation??
