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.

Enjoying the conversation this morning but have to pop over to daughters for a spot of babysitting. Anyhow its just as well coz I’m breaking my own rules about keeping the blog Celtic. Even though in all fairness I don’t think anyone could object to Politics holding sway on a morning like this. See ye all later. God Bless Pandas everywhere.
So he’s resigning and then maybe re-signing?
Tory majority of three?? Expect the EU to cause Cameron no end of problems.
Lionroars67,
And you can be sure the only time they will pipe up is when they want to greet about some insignificant Scottish question meanwhile the food banks will become more numerous and benefits will be destroyed unabated, the NHS will not survive this tenure.

I’m truly saddened that John Hume is seriously ill.
He was a giant in very troubled times,and held his convictions at every challenge.

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.
Why under that duty of care did Labour vote with the Tories over cuts in welfare to our weakest?……oh the need for power over principle.

‘ernie, Were the Labour party in Scotland ever a Socialist party or is it only in recent years they sold their soul.’

I’m not an expert on the history of the Labour Party, never having been a member.
I suppose by a loose definition they were generally socialist until the 1950s. They declined slowly thereafter.
What I can say is that over the years they’ve had a lot fewer fascists in their ranks than the SNP have had.

from last night-Pat Doherty is he not a Carrigart mhan? just wondering

Labour will not move on unless they look inward rather than outward.
Look at themselves at they will see how they lost the election.
Labour in Scotland surely must become separate from England/London Labour. Then become what they should be in Scotland a socialist party. This will never happen when one of the most right wing Labour people,Jim Murphy is in charge. The best news for SNP with next years Scottish election in mind is if he continues.
Clegg a gonner as well
spikeysauldman,
Never in a month of Sundays was that a socialist, sorry pal but self aggrandising is not IMO a socialist trait.
Has Reid Hugger Murphy resigned yet?
Ernie @ 11.16
Respectfully disagree.
Corkcelt @ 11.18
Union a busted flush. Respectfully agree.

an tearmann,
Pat Doherty is from the Gorbals originally.
The Old Jelly Bean is now in residence.
Farage’s response when asked if he’ll stand for the leadership again.
“If nominated I’ll decline. If drafted I’ll defer. And if elected I’ll resign.”

Absolutely no argument from me I agree 100% but the SNP’s record on the NHS or helping the needy of our society is nothing to boast about. For the record I do not support Labour. I also agree NL losing the Scots vote wasn’t the reason for them losing the election. My preference was for a Labour minority gov held to account by a coalition of the smaller parties. I fear we are heading for another 18 years of Thatcherism.
You can pretty much guarantee if the abolition of the NHS is the price the SNP are asked for another referendum that’s exactly what they will support.
Up to Perth?
I heard she got off at Dunblane.

‘The lickspittles that return an SDLP candidate in Derry never cease to amaze me.’
##
Do you think their non abstentionist policy, particularly where the candidate might have been able to stop a Tory government, may have been a factor?
Boaby,
John Hume has Alzheimer’s.
I had a pint with him a couple of years ago and it was a privilege to speak to him for a couple of hours.
Absolute top drawer.Although he represented the SDLP,he is a true Republican at heart.
He just didn’t agree with the gun.
The snake who is the the SDLP MP now sickens me.

Labour becoming the first party to introduce monetarist/friedmanite(free market) policies as a result of accepting an IMF bail out in 1976 is a turning point for many real socialists that i know of.it resulted in public spending cuts that Thatcher could claim were harsher than anything she introduced.It set the economic template for Thatcher and all done by a socialist govt.

The SNP are not the architects of Labour’s downfall,in Scotland or elsewhere.
Labour are solely responsible for this.
They should have made their stance on the referendum that it is a vote of conscience but that they wished that Scotland vote No.
Instead,we ended up hated as much as the tories. We stood beside them,and they laughed themselves silly as they turned the knife.
Blame Labour. Not every voter in Scotland who did the same.

I know his politics and his reasons. I know his faith and courage were second to none.
If you ever meet his family again,let them know that respect for him extended way beyond his family and friends.
As I said,a giant. A man of courage when most took the easy route.

The Scottish electorate have succumbed to populist nationalism.
I blame those who peddle populist nationalism for that.
BBC saying Cameron may need some form of agreement with the DUP to alleviate any problems historically associated with small minority governments.
Not a fact, only a probability.
There will be CQN lurkers or posters happy with a conservative win.

Populist nationalist politician speak with forked tongue.
Ernie,
No,I don’t think so.
For all that Derry has come through,especially after Bloody Sunday,you would think it would be a staunch Sinn Fein stronghold.
The older generation were out en masse last night to vote SDLP.
They couldn’t even tell you the name of the candidate.
SDLP to them simply means John Hume
The abstention issue,whilst some people don’t agree with it,isn’t really a factor.
