Schisms, corralling the message

926
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    Ronny Deila, well said.

     

     

    This wasn’t a circling of the wagons, this was a bold statement of intent from Ronny. He is a very Strong person and I know he will fight very hard to make Celtic as successful as it can possibly be.

     

     

    All together now

     

     

    I didn’t think he would survive after picking KC in the immediate game after his hissy fit, a lot of things still to be sorted I’m sure, Ronny will get my Full Support in what he is trying to do at Celtic.

     

     

    Get the Thunder back

    My only daughter is 7yr old going on 27, one is bad enough two must be hard going, by the way I am only on her iPad because she is staying with the stepdaughter

     

     

    On a Celtic front, do you not think Ronny is doing ok ? He has to change things in Europe but must be given a chance

    Anyone been to the Celtic Corner Bar in Manley, Brisbane?

     

     

    I fancy going out there today for lunch. Recommended?

  11. BGX on

    Negannon….Thank you for the Appolgy…..Homophobic……I only commented on your statement Regarding Your Statement of Sexual Tension between you and another poster( who shall remain nameless)….All i said was i Dont think it was or would be Reciprocated….

     

    That was It if Menory Serves Me…….

    Some of us have been summoned to the inner green chamber for the next diatribe of info release to the meeja is rubbish

    Brisbane

     

     

    Don’t waste your lunch cheering on an Aberdeen win…..

     

     

    Not a Celtic loss just Ronny not to win

     

     

    On another note what are you having for the aforementioned lunch ?

    I was enjoying reading all the cuddly warmth and cameraderie generated by Ronny’s excellent interview earlier. Two things became apparent reading on though – He can obviously only generate a half day feelgood field, and somebody must have slipped magic mushrooms in my tea about an hour ago. Night Timdom.

    Mags to the left of me

     

    Brisbane to the right

     

    Here I go stuck in the middle of you (plural)

  26. Gordon64 on

    Mags on that we can all agree. A Club formed for the poor now run by Tories. We have come a short way over a long time. HH

    The schisms theory as applied to Aberdeen, Rangers and ultimately Celtic is rubbish

     

    night night

  33. KevinBhoy on

    Is it just me that actually canny help but really laugh out loud when somebody says ‘scud book’?

  34. NegAnon2 on

    BGX. I remember your wee night of frivolity having wee homophobic rants. I can’t actually remember who the mysogninistic was. But boy you outed yourself for what you rally ar BGX.

     

     

    And the best bit? You did it all yourself. And you have the gall to com on here and pretend that your something you aren’t. Homophobic, mysogninistic, facism all marks the modern Scotland you lust after.

     

     

    Gerryfaethebrig on Ronny I am sorry but I think it was the Wong appointment. He was the cheap,and most importantly compliant choice. It’s not his fault but he shouldn’t be the Celtic manager. I loved his truth telling today. But the board will leave him out there pissing in the wind. He is just their latest victim.

     

     

    See the thing is. Ronny told us we are getting better. It was a lie. It was the party line. Now he wants to tell the truth. That we weaken all the time by selling. See the thing is we don’t need to be like this. It’s the board choice.

     

     

    What he said today was great. But I’m sorry he is inconsistent and I fear he is totally controlled from the boardroom. It’s so unhealthy.

     

     

    So sorry. Ronny is doesn’t learn and isn’t good enough to be a Celtic manager in my opinion.

     

     

    His conference today doesn’t change that. I would love him to be a roaring success but pur Moneyball strategy won’t allow anyone to be a success.

    Petec

     

     

    You and I know that Ronny is our man. Give him time and his plan will prevail.

     

    God bless you P.

    I’m not going to fight with you Gerry. I want an Celtic win as much as anyone.

     

    All the best

    Roy, I said it before and I’ll say it again. You are a credit to CQN. You don’t try to be clever and look for attention. You just provide an entertaining resource, its up to the rest of us to select what we like and enjoy it.

     

    Go raibh mile maith agat.

    For many of us it makes little or no difference who our great custodians are as long as there is a winning team on the park. Lord Livingston of Parkhead is an anathema to Celtic and everything our great club stands for. Shameful.
