Schisms, corralling the message

926

Aberdeen are on the kind of downward spiral which is difficult to arrest, but there’s more going on that we know about publicly. I would be amazed if their recent run, four defeats and a draw in five games, after winning their opening eight league games, was all to do with matters on the park.

They are a team who look to be in schism. If so, Celtic Park is the perfect venue to pull together. You raise your game at Celtic Park in a way which isn’t likely in Dingwall. Whatever differences that exist will be set aside, we’ll need to be on our game to win.

Craig Whyte’s bankrupt, unable to pay Ticketus the £18m damages they won against him. Craig’s financial strength was plain for all to see, as he made regular trips north on Easyjet in his worn-out attire, owning up to the fact he couldn’t fund the bank repayment, until a clever knight put him onto Ticketus.

Charles Green was equally transparent. Relying on shares-for-backing deals with pliable ‘legends’. Now we have Dave King, overwhelmingly dependent on PR and a compliant media, while the rest of the world is sticking dates in the calendar. The most common question I’m asked these days is “When’s it going to happen?” It’s no longer a matter of “if” it’s going to happen.

The re-writing of history, evident today, will be rolled out again in due course. “We told you about him”, they will scream. Aye, sure you did. You also made it all possible, just as you did with Green, Whyte and Murray.

The trade in favours, exclusive stories, substances and team-handed loose-limbed 60 minute acquaintances, deployed to sustain the project and corral the message over the years is legend. Truly legend. Fraternity on this level takes more than money, a business lunch or a game of golf.  If that’s how you think the game is played, these guys will leave you standing.  Shed tears for none of them.

The books which will be written when the guilty are dead will sell millions.

Ghirls for Good

Ladies, sign up for this year’s Celtic Foundation Ghirls for Good Christmas lunch.  I’m told it’s a riot and one of the best days of the year at Celtic Park……  More here.

  1. BRAVO Ronnie, BRAVO.

     

    He was measured, but didn’t miss them and hit the wall.

     

    Beautiful watching.

     

    Ronnie knows the score.

     

    Loving it

    You have a point about our weans being bonnier than us.

     

    However, have you seen a handsome hun?

  3. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    Jam

     

     

    Why would you look forward to the response from a shower of introverted cretins

  4. Blantyretim. I did not change my tack. I am nothing if not consistent.

     

     

    You were basically saying I am not a catholic so I have no right to question.

     

     

    Step back and think about that for a moment about that attitude. You aren’t one of us so you have no right. That is so redolent of the growing facism in Scotland.

  5. Delaneys the sad thing is I don’t think Ronny does know it. He is simply another victim in all this.

     

     

    For our sanity, for our souls and for the sake of the movement that was Celtic we need to rid ourselves of this board. Nothing connected with Celtic is more important than that right now. They are destroying us and everything we used to stand for.

  6. Mentioned earlier my Dad passing. Have been in Fife now for 30 years but in Easterhouse with my mammy till Funeral. Told her ” Look mammy Jimmys trending on the net,” I show her some comments ” What sort of name is Delaney’s Donkey” says she ” Naw mammy that’s his Monika” ” A man called Monica ” says she. ” Naw mammy it’s a nome de plume”. ” Nice of those folk to remember yer dad, he loved the Celtic, could you take me the Morra” ” Absolutely ma” She says ” ….. Where’s yer das scarf and I’ll give it a wee iron”

     

     

    Great to be a Tim. Thanks Bhoys

  7. I sleep with a beautiful woman most nights but I am always looking for that bit extra

     

    Some are just happy if they are in the vicinity of a beautiful woman

    McBookie consistently return the best overall odds for the weekly CQN Coupon. Only potential downside is that, at the moment, they don’t have a mobile app although that can also be seen as an advantage as it does limit those impule bets!

     

     

    They generally have decent sign up offers for new customers each week. And regular offers for esisting ones too – place a fiver on ANY market in tomorrow’s Celtic game and, of you lose, £5 returned as a free bet.

     

     

    I don;t have any personal connection to McBookie ;-)

    Ul light a candle for your dad

     

    God bles

  13. No blantyretim. I said a long long time ago I was no longer a catholic. That decision doesn’t define me nor make me a lessor person. But you think it does. That’s facism and its racist.

     

     

    You are what you hate blantyretim.

  14. Melbourne Mick on

    Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    Well, that blast from Ronnie to all those Celtic haters fairly

     

    gets the auld adrenalin flowing, can’t wait for the next couple

     

    of games now, I’ve no doubt his blast will be used against us

     

    but whats new and it needed said.

     

     

    Pintaguinness

     

     

    Sorry to hear about your loss.

     

    RIP Jimmy.
