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.

    Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams – 10:54 pm

     

     

    “No need Job centres next to food banks soon ..

     

    They’ll be entwined ..

     

    SNP BAD!!!!

     

    :) ”

     

     

     

    Apart from giving free prescriptions and travel passes to the elderly wealthy, freezing the wealthiest in the lands council tax for past 8 years, and paying for their children’s university fees to go to the most prestigious universities, when do the SNP plan to actually DO something for the poorest and most disadvantaged?

     

     

    No doubt they’re very grateful for Foodbanks to keep them fed as truly, the SNP party in office BUT not in power appears to be utterly incapable of lifting a finger to help them, or uncaring, or both.

     

     

    Nice that you can smile about it though, obviously you can’t be very poor, and my but ain’t you the lucky one as the party you support does nothing for the most disadvantaged.

     

     

    Maybe you could ask that nice ‘Nicola’ to go read the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew 5-7, might make her reconsider though I have my doubts; “Blessed are the poor in spirit….”

    Appreciate the reply, I lsupport Ronny for one reason he is the Celtic manager, Tony Mowbray who Peter paid £2m then gave him £4.5 for Marc Antione Unfortutnay (sic) I love love Celtic, win .ose or draw and like many others on the blog some of our best days have been in defeat, my best night was Easter road after the Raith Rovers final, the shiteiest “you’ll never walk alone Paul” a bit of white card each, but anyway we play the cards we are dealt, nothing ever changes with me, I know the country we live, no I know who the media try too appease but enjoy it because that has been their Downfall (sic PhilMac)

    Gftb We are collecting for Food banks to feed people who cannot afford to buy the basic essentials to survive yet we have a member of our board voting to cut the benefits of the very poorest in our society. Shameful.

    Delaney I’m heading to the match tomorrow ,pity we can’t meet up (you’re for Spain are you not?). I was hoping to explain the reason why I haven’t been on the blog these past few months (not good :-( )

  20. Clashcitybhoy on

    Looking to game tomorrow

     

    Would like to see Carlton Cole on the bench, as it will lift fans & players.

     

     

    Also delighted to see Ronny D’s rant today.

     

    I have been a regular critic, but great to see him show his emotions.

     

    Hopefully a turning point

    I try to not get involved with directors, members of boards or chairmen, they are that far removed form people like us….I just want Celtic to win and give whatever my quid or two will do too help people less fortunate than us with great family….let the rich people and Lords live with themselves

    Melbourne Mick…

     

     

    Caught your post from last night about both teams wearing the hoops at your get together.

     

     

    May I suggest, if it’s not been already and has sorted similar problems out.

     

     

    One team wears balaclavas;)

     

     

    P.S… Still in touch with Perth Brian, trying to get him to come on, as you know, a mad Tim. HH

    Ronny is definitely our Mhan!

     

    He strongly said what the Club should have been saying all along.

     

    He most certainly “gets” the Celtic story.

    Wife – “Is that just the beer talking”

     

    Husband – “No, that’s me talking to the beer…”
