Your reputation was dragged into the mud by Social Justice Minister, Humza Yousaf, MSP,on Twitter this morning. He wrote:
“On upcoming Celtic Vs Rangers match, we need clear messaging from everyone that fans must stay at home. If Police intelligence tells us, despite clear messaging, that groups of fans are going to gather to square off with each other, we need to consider if game should be postponed.”
“If Police intelligence tells us groups of fans are going to square off with each other” is his technique of throwing the blanket of blame over Celtic fans to prevent him addressing the threat of further social unrest head on. He feels safe saying adding “Celtic” instead of calling out the true problem. It is as spineless as it is unacceptable.
Be clear: there are absolutely no plans to postpone this game and there is no police intelligence that fans will square off. None. What there is, is a significant threat that the problems of last weekend are repeated on 21 March. As far as this SNP government is concerned, we dare not speak that problem’s name.
This has nothing to do with Celtic and nothing to do with Celtic fans but your government is happy to trash the reputation of both. He is toying with the reputation of the innocent and the occasionally vulnerable young. If a Celtic lad turned up wearing lipstick Yousaf’s head would explode.
A lead in the polls does not permit you a free kick at Celtic fans. Social Justice Minister, give me strength, you are contemptible.

I agree. The rule of big capital is not restricted to football.
MARTIM1980 on 13TH MARCH 2021 12:19 PM
Peter Lawwell was only following instructions, so I’m not sure how much credit or blame he should take or be asked to accept for the catalogue of successes and failures over his exceptionally lengthy tenure.
And, given that he was only following instructions, and that the person who issued those instructions is still in place and will still be issuing the instructions, I’m not sure how much anything is going to change, if at all.
But it is a bit silly to suggest that there was no other route that could have been followed other than the one that was taken, and that there was no other possible outcome rather than the one we are having to endure.
Things could have been done differently, and we could be in a better place today.
Paul 67,
You are perfectly entitled to your opinion and I am an unrelenting advocate of free speech.
However I feel it is my duty to remind you that your views could now potentially fall foul of the new hate crime law disgracefully passed in Scotland.
Be wary, be very wary.
HH.
It would be silly to talk endlessly on another route when not putting ine forward.
Balancing reporting to the stockmarket versus moving forward in a footballing sense at the same time the most corrupt association and in a land we are not wanted…..
So Strathclydes finest harassing our young fans during the night at their homes in front of their family.
What kind of country do we live in.
Absolutely DISGUSTING.
Oh for a Paul McBride to fight our club and supporters cause.
Has any points been deducted yet from the Klub whose players and supporters flouted the law last week?
Nah didnae think so.
D :)
Why waste time worrying about Independence? The recently displayed egos of Sturgeon and Salmond have ensured that it ain’t going to happen anytime soon.

I’m not sure if the cult fall within the ambit of the legislation, which, at least initially, not sure if it’s been amended was
‘a group being defined by reference to race, colour, nationality (including citizenship), or ethnic or national origins,’.
I wonder whether the huns would be regarded as such a ‘group’?
I believe a group of huns is called an “Ugly”
Today an ugly of huns rampaged through (insert anywhere they have ever been)

The SNP need the catholic/celtic vote because they don’t have the extremist protestant/sevco vote. They are 100% unionist. At the same time they don’t want to offend the mob. Bombs and bullets in the post and all that. The SNP have a difficult balancing act.
a better class of drivel than the faux catholics will be burnt at stake,fear and angst spread by unionist who always like to ensure this is a unionist weapon to scots if they dare to think outside the union
this after threatening it endlessly since 1707
have a little more faith in your faith it extends over borders and stop the fear narrative.also read Celtic the early years for a comparison of then and noe
we are ok in his path

Stating that Independence is not about to happen does not make me a Unionist,
John Kennedy hasn’t resolved an issue in his two games Neil Lennon failed with all season. Including Neil’s final pick in Dingwall, we’ve a return of one deflected goal scored in our last three games.
It’s been an unpleasant screen watch to see a rotating series of empty jerseys at 9. Disengaged emotionally, uninvolved physically, self-indulgent in possession, flat-footed out of possession.
Season ticket holders have carried the club on their shoulders for sixteen years, it’s a fair shout to look to the capital providers to kick start the reset.

Abandoning socialism for nationalism is a well trodden path. It doesn’t take you anywhere I’d want to go. But you carry on, it obviously make you happy.
ERNIE LYNCH on 13TH MARCH 2021 1:53 PM
‘Abandoning socialism for nationalism is a well trodden path.’
You’re talking about Starmer here wrapping himself in the Union Jack, yes?
Ernie,
If it makes you sad,then I am happy.Still,I would never like to see you doffing your cap every time you passed a Union Jack.That would make me sad.
What to do,eh.
Tuned into Leeds Chelski game at 70mins
0-0 and commentator waxing lyrical about how Tuchel is wearing a light coloured coat as opposed to his usual dark coloured coat. I’m guessing it’s a shit game
#bestleagueintheworld
PAUL,
I think you are getting a bit hysterical here.There will be no Hun s anywhere near ground next Sunday.
Just to say,there was chatter on the internet,that Celtic fans would defend if necessary.People very closed to me were involved.Media trying to stir it all up.Carry on carrying on.
Hail Hail.

No.
independence looks further away now than it has for a while unfortunately.
having it based around 1 party is always going mean support or otherwise is closely linked to peoples general thoughts on that party which is not how it should be
it shouldnt be party political – all other parties will still exist post-independence. in fact independence is probably more of an existential threat to the snp than any other party, perversely enough
so looks like the CQN Brit Klan will be marching up and down to the beat of P67’s lambeg drum for a good few years to come yet
https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-misinformation-wars-on-whatsapp-sees-faith-groups-take-on-fake-news-12241819
the irony – faith groups targetting fake news.
faith groups only exist because of a few thousand years of fake news
Calling folk who question the SNP brits is deliberately obtuse and does you no favours.
The huns are sleekit.
Hypothetically:
If they dressed up as women and converged on Parkhead they would be a protected species, no matter the havoc they caused.
Unfortunately if there were any females among them, then they could face the wrath of the law.
Only in Scotland.
No wonder ” independence ” is dead.
HH to all.

I watched it for about five minutes, it was pish then the dog sat on the buttons and turned to the history channel. Fair enough I thought😵😂
Why are onionists always in tears?
There’s a trick to stop you crying when chopping onions, it’s not to get too attached beforehand…..
I know my onions…..

Generations of Celtic fans supported Scotland remaining as a member of the UK and shunned the SNP. Support for the cult is recent phenomenon, and really only got going after the GFA.
You must regard those former generations with utter contempt.

of course it is Martim.it is just as obtuse as any socialist attempting to define others politics when they have no insight into why they will never attain power again or any realization that capital won the power struggle.
thats why broon could nationalize bank debt
thats why tony stuck to tory spending limits
thats why Jeremy was chased out of his natural home and betrayed.
hh
and generations are changing their mind.
who are labour? what do they mean?
what do they stand for?
tony prince andrewed it from the inside
they know it too

Good news on the Unionist frontline. Wee Mikey Gove will be visiting Glasgow on Monday to confirm that he will be opening another Cabinet office in the deer green place. Hundreds of jobs available, will suit apron wearing political flunkies, including some on here. Not sure where it will be based, but pretty sure it won’t be too far from George Square. That’s handy.
I don`t really follow Party Politics but I do take an interest in the oratory skills on display.
My view is that Ruth Davidson would be better suited down The Barras, Nicola Stugeon and Jackie Bailey are both very good and Keir Starmer is very unimpressive.
Masonic aprons are normally made from lambskin(what do they have against poor wee lambs and goats?) but exceptions will now be made for vegans…a vegan mason? a masonic vegan? It doesn’t sound right. Anyway, it seems plastic aprons will now be considered acceptable…as will blow-up goats.
Those will be inflatable goats rather than goats stuffed with TNT.
Unfortunately!
On a slightly non football theme, that’s the second couple I’ve spoken to who are now not conforming to strict covid rules. Having a visit from their children.
The reason, last weekend events, now these are folk who wouldn’t get on a bus with an outdated ticket, nor do they give a monkey’s about football. The lack of serious action by the Government towards that mob is having implications!!
Covid cases in Scotland have increased for the fourth successive day.

Mods working overtime?
