It will make little difference to those who really should be paying attention. Malcolm Murray left the Rangers International board yesterday with a statement to fans unlike anything previously heard from a departing director of a Scottish football club. His warning is loud and clear, “Events of the last year have seen behaviour that would make the late, great, Bill Struth spin in his grave (no, he doesn’t mean the fact that all faiths are now employed at Ibrox)”.
It’ll make little difference because the groundwork has already been laid to ignore anything Malcolm Murray says by those who in previous years did the bidding of David Murray, Craig Whyte and Charles Green. Notions of having a club “run by men of the highest integrity” don’t fit the narrative, talk of “mysterious individuals” will not be heard.
We’re now watching the equivalent of the opening scenes of Police Academy 4, the same farce will unfold with increasingly less interest from the wider world.
I know lots of good Celtic fans, lots and lots of them. Respect today to those who buy Overseas Season Tickets, meaning they can attend five games per season, but they buy tickets to 16 games for underprivileged supporters.
We are part of a genuinely incredible body of people. Stories like this simply don’t happen elsewhere. If you’re part of ‘the programme’, well done.
Just checked, Police Academy 4 was subtitled ‘Citizens on Patrol’. If only!!

Deloitte reports on the EPL and Championship astonishing revenue figures this highlights how difficult it is for Celtic to hold onto players when the streets around EPL clubs are paved with gold for football players and their agents

No,bloody disaster!
Virgin from Glasgow-London is no longer 260 minutes,it’s over 360.
So none of the Scots lads I was hoping for can get here in time on the day!
And I couldnae get a ticket online for some reason.
Still gonna make the trip though. Meet up if you are around.
CHAIRBHOY is coming in to Marylebone,so maybe The Doric Arch at Euston as a meet,then The Horse Guards (eventually)?
Might be better going to one of the four corners,I can nick a B’s fans ticket wi one hand and put a twenty in his pocket wi the other. Or ask him nicely,as I prefer to call it!
Mail me,please,on
bmcuwp@gmail.com
And we can discuss it.
Cheers,bud!
Morning all. Glorious yet again. Enjoying it but I hope it gives those “marchers of hate” sunstroke. Either that or they get thoroughly drenched. I hope those of you stuck in the North today stay safe and sound.

I missed your reply last night as I had nipped out to work again,but I know where you are coming from.
My oul’ Dad is a great man for the pragmatism-and I’m not suggesting you’re kicking 75 like him,btw!
It’s just that when I was moaning about the standard of football that we were getting from the days of Gordon Strachan and Martin O’Neil,and comparing it with the beauty that I grew up with from 68 till 88 (I effed off for the bad years) and then Tommy and even Dr Jo,he asked me why I didnae include Wim.
Eh,we just had to win at all costs,Dad. That certainly wisnae pretty.
That was when he reminded me of how lucky I was as a Celtic supporter.
I saw G-R-E-A-T sides and marvellous players winning with ease.
And with style.
And just before my 25th birthday,I saw us win the double in our Centenary Season.
He suffered as a Celtic fan. The Empire Exhibition,the double in 54.
Hampden in the sun,7-1.
That was it till long after his 25th.
Aye,I’m right to be an idealist.
But my Dad is a much more intelligent man than I am,and I canny argue with his pragmatism.
And just before I finished that,I realised that it was WEEFRATHETIM whose reply I missed!
Bloody hell,I described myself well yesterday,right enough!

DBBIA they formed in 1798
gutted to see vic go – sort of see why we have to buy young and cheap and hope to sell on but it doesn’t make it any easier. we don’t have a replacement but we do have options in mid. see a significant adjustment time ahead
The 1813 OO riots would therefore be ‘a new world record’, for drunken piss soaked bitter scrofularity.

Ps.take a seat, relax, and I believe its your B’day, All the best friend,
Celtic board are not daft most season ticket renewals in then sell the best player.Now we will get the old statement Lennon will get a large chunk of the cash for new players.Then transfer deadline comes no new players then the old saying nobody out there that would have improved the current squad.If you’s think a midfield of Ledley,Brown,commons and Mulgrew are taking us into the CL better get ready for Europa league if we are lucky.
Summa- he did very well.
Oh to be 19 and have that much talent; I hope he goes on to have a great career.
Apparently his younger brothers can play a bit.

SAGA?
One of my mates made a similar reference last weekend,funnily enough.
He was immediately disinvited to tomorrow’s wake,and I downed the pint I had just bought him!!
He’ll turn up anyway,and my sisters sent me the perfect subtle t-shirt to wind him up.
MANHATTAN67,just looks like a NY cab.
Not so.
I could mibbe get away wi it in Kilwinning. Wi a good pair of trainers!
How you keeping,mate? Do you reckon you’ll manage the matinee session for the race-night?
Hope so,do you good,some real anaesthetics that work,none of that lab rubbish.
Btw,I reckon most of the horses I back have a similar affliction to yours…..
Take assorted corpulent gargoyles,
introduce sweltering heat,………………… add in yards of tight-fitting cheap crimplene, a splash of bargain- bucket cider,
……………………………….. the stench of mis-placed triumphalism, vomit and piss
………et voila……..

Tomorrow not so due to Mrs BT heading off tonight. Mini BT has been granted permission to keep me in check…

Cheers,mate. It was yesterday. And it didnae happen,right!!!!
Apparently I held on till ten minutes before the twelfth,and my Dad’s hair has never been the same colour since…..
Apologies for the mix-up.
Have we signed emdy yet?
Happy birthday to BMCUWP!

My old Dad (God rest him) would have been 97 on the 10th of July.
Still miss him!
BMCUW,
No Problem, Tell your dad,I said a change of hair colour is not so bad, I know!!!
Id like to add, Ive got a mate, born on the 12th, named after his father, and his fathers name is………………….. you guessed William, good tim too!
lily grandpa
Sorry, Dad, 98!!
BLANTYRE TIM
Strangely enough,my kid sister is always trusted to nip my Dad’s sweeties.
Neither the elder sister nor my good self,soul of propriety that we both are,receive this benediction.
I hope your daughter is easily distracted and canny count!
Glad to hear things are on the up. I’ll wheel you in myself on 28/9 if necessary.
One-way ticket,mind….
PHILBHOY
Yer Dad bottled the brinksmanship!
Make ’em sweat,I say.
I reckon THE BOULD BHOYS was suffering a fair bit till his lad turned up safe and sound on the 11th.
Allegedly……
Bless your Dad,bud,and bless your memories.
Last summer, the locals were amazed, chearing and clapping hailing EuroChamps67 a great hero when he did a bungee jump complete with the Hoops, from The Paliokastro for a local charity.
Sad to see Victor leaving us . He could have been one of the best-ever Celtic mid-fielders.
I would put him amongst the very elite Ive seen in the hoops.
Its a shame because Celtic is one of the top clubs in the world but due to being in a crap league and the Sky money on our door-step these good players leave for little clubs like Southampton and Swansea.
Some expert was analysing Victors strengths and weakness’s said his alround game was strong except for is awful long-range passing?? He is not yet the finished article but Ive seen him hit many rakeing accurate 40m-50m passes.
Efe a different type of player who has loads of talent .But I believe he needs to be in the back 4.
Today I will be eating mostly greens.
