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. anyone hear jabba last night suggesting the big tax case is just between 6 and 12 million?

     

    according to him its just that some forms might not have been filled in properly,

     

    now who would have told him this ? he seemed pretty confident and said it a few times.

  2. craigwhitesoptometrist says u have 20/20 vision, opps sorry craigy boy just can't get 20 outta my head. on

    Why’s there any confusion regards the use of EBT’s last year

     

    Craigy boy said just the other week that when he took control

     

    of the club last year the first thing he done was stop the EBT

     

    scheme, I think it was when him and AJ were having hand-bags

     

    with each other. So quite clear that myth gained the last 3 trophys

     

    fraudulently as well as the rest.

    What does ORC mean??

     

    ————

     

    An orc is one of a race of mythical human-like creatures, generally described as fierce and combative, with grotesque features and often black or grey skin. This mythology has its origins in the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien.

     

    They are known to inhabit areas of Glasgow and the West of Scotland and tend to wear dirty under sized royal blue football shirts shell suit bottoms and gola trainers.

    Only Read Comics

  5. I like Melville’s take on the Moby-Dick – Ahab relationship….

     

     

    ‘Ahab … piled upon Moby-Dick’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it.’

     

     

    For Ahab, read Jabba and the LL. For Moby read poor wee Craig.

    Explaing debt to a hun…

     

     

    The Hun says “Rangers will never die”

     

     

    The Tim says “Why?”

     

     

    The Hun says “cos we are the people”

     

     

    The Tim says “What does that mean?”

     

     

    The Hun says “It means…We are the people”

     

     

    I keep replaying it and it gets funnier!!!

    Yes i did – strange he said that after saying that he still believes that Rangers will face liquidation.

     

     

    And for the lurking Orcs – In law, liquidation is the process by which a company is brought to an end, and the assets and property of the company redistributed.

  11. Tom the Tim:

     

    What i think is really dangerous is the likes of leggat, leckie & hately reinforcing the confirmation bias of some the more hardline redneck orcs who need only the slightest trace of a “trigger” to go off on one.

     

     

    There are a lot of very unbalanced & dangerous types amongst their fanbase & this sort of lazy ill-informed churnalism panders to these volatile elements.

     

     

    Why are people so readily offended by humour?

     

     

    We live in paranoid times.

     

     

    I blame the cold war.

  12. Just heard on the local radio:-

     

     

    “Kris boyd expected to turn out for the Portland Timbers this weekend having a reputation as a lazy player”

     

     

    The Timbers fans don’t know what they’re getting when they signed this guy, lazy -understatement!

  13. Paul67,

     

     

    Another sad and hurting hun put firmly in his place. Well Played.

     

     

    The stuff he is coming out with is incredible and is FF standards, how sad it is in a national paper (says it all). This despicable person has now planted a big X target on Neil Lennon once more for all the deranged huns.

     

     

    The piece he has written is full of lies and distortions and he tries to turn everything round in a Black is White way.

    paul76 – see this uttering stuff you are talking about. my big mate beano nearly got done with that. his maw got him a wallet for his christmas one of they fancy ones with 60 pursent real leather. smelt magic. the big diddy went and tried to buy his carry out for hogmanay with the credit card that was in it. the donut thought his maw had got him a credit card too but they stick fake ones in for some reason. maybe to make you look like the reel deel when you have a fancy walet. the shop rang the polis and they lifted him for it. with his phone call he rang his maw and told her they were trying to charge him with uttering. she said nae wonder son i can barely understand you too you been on the sauce. the polis wet themsleves laughing when he told them what had happened and the inspector let him off with a warning as he said he was just a diddy. the polis was right. he is a total bam. i still dont know to this day why the polis found it so funny. he talks funny as the young team from the next scheme caught him when he was 15 and mangled his chops. he hasnt spoke right since then.

    Just offering a friendly bit of advice about the dangers of implied accusations.

     

     

    We all know the motivation of the people you mentioned, but, in reality, they can’t help themselves.

     

     

    We are better.

     

     

    However, keep telling the jokes.
