Sanctimonious nonsense about Celtic fans from ex-Ranger

493

I’ve read sanctimonious nonsense about how Celtic fans are enjoying these times, on how they should feel instead, and on how they will feel, one day.  I’ve also read what utterings our chief executive and manager should limit themselves to.

Our manager and directors have so far said very little on the subject of Rangers, only responding to direct questions or when you, the Celtic fans, were brought into the debate, without reference to any of us, by the First Minister.  Their response to Mr Salmond brought a swift and appropriate retraction.

It concerns me greatly that Scottish Premier League championships could have been won by a team playing improperly registered football players.  It would concern me even more if my concerns, your concerns, were not shared by the people charged with speaking on our behalf.  It is the responsibility of Neil Lennon and Peter Lawwell to leave no Celtic supporter in any doubt that they will vigorously pursue our supporters’ historical and future interests.

Mark Hateley’s piece on today’s Daily Record betrays a lot of hurt.  He concedes this season’s title to Celtic, which he regards as “tainted”.

As someone suggested in the CQN comments section this week, “We don’t need your stinkin’ 10 point penalty”….. we have another 10 point lead in reserve.

Hately suggests you should have the “good grace” to move on as his club “attempts to battle for its very existence”, adding, “There is no need for the likes of Lennon and Peter Lawwell to continue to sink the boot in”.

We will move on once justice has been done and is seen to be done.  Anyone who suggests otherwise, that somehow justice, the maintenance of ethical standards in the game, or even legality, are not things football fans, managers or directors should concern themselves with, has perhaps headed too many footballs in his time.

The coup-de-grace from Hateley was “So let Celtic get on with celebrating their title – a title they somehow failed to win throughout the last three years of financial troubles”.  Does anyone believe Rangers would have won three leagues had they paid their tax instead of singing Jelavic, Lafferty, Davis, Edu, Naismith or Bougherra?

I think this guy is missing the point. If the First Tier Tribunal report confirms already-made allegations that Rangers improperly registered football players, this bling that Hateley is flashing in your face is ill-gotten.

The Celtic manager, directors and support, together with most others in Scottish football, have to ensure that Fifa rules on the registration of football players is not subverted.

  1. Lloyd’s bank declare a £3.5Bn loss. So I don’t think they will be too keen to give back the Ticketus money and I suspect they’ll be tightening that ligature they have around Sir Minty’s testicular receptacle. It’ll be a case of *@#€ you Ticketus and the Octopus you rode into town on.

     

    BTW, is Friday the day off for those employed in “Care in the Community”? Just wondering like because I see oor Declan’s on the loose again.

    If we banish hun as a term of reference will Orc then be classified as “sectarian”?

     

     

    The Question is: where do we draw the line?

     

    —————

     

    Use acronyms DOBs, DHBs, anyway what is wrong with HUN i always thought it was an acronym for Horribly Unclean Ned, am i wrong?

    Thanks for the comments. If I get a chance I’m going to copy and paste the story on here

     

    again, later in the evening.

     

    It’s as good and as informative an article as I’ve read in long time.

  6. BigChips- Ha ha, one thing- I don’t think Tel will complain about his players under-performing on Sunday, Inverness will take 2 or 3 off them.

     

     

    Wee Hayes, Foran will be right up for this.

    Neil brrrrrrilliant on SSN there.

     

     

    “Ally, you need to have help away from the football club. With everything that happened to me last year, I made sure that I had help away from the club. That’s how I got through it. Ally, you need help away from football.”

     

     

    The man just gets better and better!!

  8. Ten Men Won The League on

    Lafferty now out ‘injured’ till the middle of April according to TFPLG

     

     

    Just when I’ve stitched my sides up as well

  9. Hun on its own is wrong and sectarian but I think if you add a letter or 2 that takes away the sectarian part of it. Like dechun, hundec, orchun,hunorc sort of thing!!

  10. Declan Is Neil Lennon 1888 Hates being 2nd on

    caeser67 – you love your brands dont you. first dug food now polish. i prefer mr mussel anyway. pledge is garbage. also no need for the language bud. i reckon paul will be able to crimp your clever code in no time

     

     

    hail hail

    goldstar10 (14:33): “Inverness 4/1 on Sunday? Still a good bet methinks.”

     

     

    Do you really think Big Tezza will kick them while they’re down? Or will he view it as an act of kindness… putting them out of their misery?

     

     

    —————————————————

     

     

    Na,…

     

     

    Can’t see big Tel doing THAT

  12. How can Marky Mark Hate-lie compare singing about jelly & ice cream with the sectarian sludge that vomits from the hate holes of the average Orc?

     

     

    The levels of displacement are frightening…the man needs hospitalised…

     

     

    Its the most severe case of parataxic distortion I have ever seen.

     

     

    The rumours of Hate-lie being a serial abuser of hydromorphine must be true…

     

     

    I have it on good faith that his body is a syringe addled pin cushion…

  13. It would be a shame if Orc was deemed secterian – I like the terms Orcs, Mordor and the Evil Empire. If the “establishment ” were to deem all these names unusable why not just call them what they NOW are – Tax Dodgers from Ibroke.

    what a hilarious pro-orc rabble that is.

     

    comedy gold. cheers!

  16. jimmybhoy…

     

     

    if we’ve to call them the Tax Dodgers from Ibrokes…

     

     

    i know a few folk who’ll be selling their volkswagen golf TDi’s

     

     

    ;-)

  17. Had a look through some of the comments on here last night vis a vis scavengers website:

     

     

    What happened to the guys on here? A mass sugar rush from prodigious jelly n ice cream ingestion?

     

     

    The patua was combustible…was it falcon with that wan aboot Gordie Smith & “there will be hell toupee” gag?

     

     

    Pure dynamite!

    In an Independent SNP Scotland it is possible that the works of J. R. R. Tolkien and George Lucas may well be banned as offensive. Down with that sort of thing

    I don’t know what’s more amusing…..Declan or his enemies

     

     

    Tims on here giving Declan abuse….you just don’t get it do you? Leave Declan alone, he makes me laugh and also has a serious side to him……

  20. I posted earlier that the EBT XI v Milan Oldboys game has been cancelled.

     

     

    Probably due to a slight administration problem.

     

     

    Did anyone else read this?

     

     

    If I’m wrong, I will make a donation to G.M. Suck’s Sucksaver Fund.

    On a different, but related note, I believe tha Mr. Paul Mc.Bride Q.C (MBE in waiting)(for Robert’s benefit :>)), will have a significant part to play in the denouement within the SFA.

  21. BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS – Haha,a jumped up technical college,as we GU alumni called it in the early 80s!

     

     

    I remember you used to get free Strathclyde degrees in the GUU toilets. :) (thumbsup)

     

     

    the long wait is over – :) (thumbsup)

     

     

    RobertTressell – Oh, catch yourself on, Robert.

     

     

    There’s no need to make everything in life into a political struggle.

     

     

    It makes you seem like a one-note character, like Citizen Smith.

     

     

    If you think titles of office or honour, or doctors being called “doctor”, is part of a plot to subjugate the proletariat, no wonder the world seems a strange and threatening place to you.

     

     

    But you are wrong, the world is a beautiful, sunny place full of smiles and puppies and jelly and ice cream. (thumbsup)

    Dangerous stuff, young man. You should request a deletion from the host.

  23. Tim Malone Will Tell on

    Are ‘injuries’ to their higher earners likely to save them money in the unlikely event they get a win bonus?

     

     

    It’s really looking like Hitler’s bunker over there – I can see them playing under 19’s before the season is out.

     

     

    Maybe we should just stop playing any more games in a ‘catch us if you can style’ to make it interesting. Can’t see them getting another 20 points before the season ends.

  27. Being serious here but anyone else hearing this story about some bike that was in the trophy room at ibrox for as long as the Arsenal shares and it too has gone misssing.

     

     

    Story I am hearing. Declan, you bought a bike recently from a guy in a grey suit?
