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.

    It’s months until the olympics yet. I was told you should start slowly and build up the distance gradually, so I’m doing a brisk 25m walk nearly every day now. Should get there by the summer.

    a wee song for CTW

     

     

    We’re caught in a trap

     

    I can’t walk out

     

    Because I love you too much Rangers

     

     

    Why can’t you see

     

    What you’re doing to me

     

    When you don’t believe a word I say?

     

     

    We can’t go on together

     

    With suspicious minds

     

    And we can’t build our dreams

     

    On suspicious minds

     

     

    So, if an old friend I know

     

    Drops by to say hello

     

    Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

     

     

    Here we go again

     

    Asking where I’ve been

     

    You can’t see these tears are real

     

    I’m crying

     

     

    We can’t go on together

     

    With suspicious minds

     

    And we can’t build our dreams

     

    On suspicious minds

     

     

    Oh let our love survive

     

    Or dry the tears from your eyes

     

    Let’s don’t let a good thing die

     

     

    When huneys, you know

     

    I’ve never lied to you

     

    Mmm yeah, yeah

     

     

    We’re caught in a trap

     

    I can’t walk out

     

    Because I love you too much Rangers

     

     

    Why can’t you see

     

    What you’re doing to me

     

    When you don’t believe a word I say?

     

     

    We’re caught in a trap

     

    I can’t walk out

     

    Because I love you too much Rangers

     

     

    Don’t you know I’m caught in a trap

     

    I can’t walk out

     

    Because I love you too much Rangers

     

     

    Don’t you know I’m caught in a trap

     

    I can’t walk out

     

    Because I love you too much Rangers

     

     

    Don’t you know I’m caught in a trap

     

    I can’t walk out
