Spinning Struth, high integrity and some great Celtic fans

749

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!!

    The PT teacher that took the Holy Cross 3rd year Juniors to venues like The Palace *pronounced The Payliss* and Whitehill Public Park later once told EC67 that he was years ahead of Paul McStay, in midfield.

    MSM news:

     

     

    A policeman has appeared in court charged with smashing up the toilets in Celtic Park at an Old Firm match.

     

     

    Samuel Johnstone, 28, allegedly carried out the offence and a sectarian breach of the peace in April 29 last year, at the Parkhead grounds.

     

     

    Was he on duty at the time ?

  4. Had reason to pop in and see my ex wife and she has just informed me that her partner has just recently purchased shares in Newco.

     

     

    I don’t think my loud guffaws have been appreciated.

    Apparently there are folk in the Derry area who have had their power turned of because the supply lines are too near a bonfire.
