I’ve plenty of sympathy for Niall McGinn for coming under pressure after being spotted at the Kilmarnock-Celtic game on Monday, but not in any way distressed. Players watch former clubs all the time, it’s not even remotely an issue, but Niall is experiencing the cost of playing in a team at the top of the league. Aberdeen fans would neither notice nor care where he was on Monday if they were in their usual mid-table spot.
A taste of internecine strife does more damage than any external party could ever hope to inflict. Glad to hear it’s taken route at our nearest rivals. On a similar note…….
A serious bid to bring newco Rangers to its knees got into full swing yesterday, as thousands of ‘fans’ signed up to spend not a penny more with the club, while mock-Rangers jerseys (should that be mock-mock-Rangers?), sold by fans’ groups, were profiled in the media.
If you know your history, 20 years ago a group of Celtic fans, some working on the frontline, some working behind the scenes, orchestrated the Celts for Change campaign, which ultimately brought regime change at Celtic.
Celts for Change had two fundamental factors in their favour: people with access to the money required to resolve the club’s problems were among them, while those running Celtic did not have access to significant funds, personal or otherwise.
The lessons of Celts for Change is that before you hurt the club you love: make sure you are capable of laying a glove on those you are trying to damage, and when you bring things to a head, ensure you have the money to put things right. In newco’s case this will be many tens of millions.
I backed Celts for Change and I wholeheartedly back those who are trying to bring down newco. Their plans and foresight are exceptional.
Care to guess which Scottish club has been most active in the transfer market this month? Falkirk, who have signed their fifth player. They have won six of their last seven games and are now within a win of getting into a play-off spot. Hot tip for the play-offs: Falkirk, Hibs, Queen of the South and Ross County.
What about Mike Ashley yesterday appointing Duff & Phelps as administrators to one of his companies? Just in case you think he’s not ballsy.

“Jeromek67 I’m afraid you are in the twilight zone. Vvd becomes a bad player, like commons, cos of the desire to make money. Various board cheerleaders then join in. Either to claim we are in financial distress or the player is rubbish.”
Neganon,
Utter nonsense.
Scrolling back through the last couple of pages completely debunks this.
Happy New Year BT

Surprised K kept her cool. I was in the Dens Park hospitality many times when my mate played for Dundee. Treated very well by the locals at every Celtic game there. Could cheer our goals ok!

If using the Chrome browser, just add the extension ‘Adblock Plus’ and you get no pop-up ads whatsoever. It’s free too.
That is probably good advice for someone who knew whatit meant :-(((((
I am a total technophobe and would have no clue about which browser I use.My daughter has to do everything even remotely technical for me. I am so bad that when someone posts something to me it takes me that long to reply I have usually missed half a page and have to scroll back to see what I have missed :-))))
but I get there in my own time

So this American Billionaire is going to come in, pump millions, if not even squillions, of pounds into the sleeping giant that is Sevco and we are going to be left behind? We should be very very afraid because just last week the same posters were saying this was Ashley’s plan too. We are doomed they have two Billionaires ready to pump millions into them to blow us away.
Aye right on and in other news NASA have confirmed the moon is indeed made of cheese, and that’s why they had to fake the landings as they couldn’t find a big enough piece of toast in case the jet engines melted it. :-)
I knew the moon was made of cheese does that make me NASA material?
hows things with you?

I honestly don’t know if more exciting than a Celtic Kilmarnock game on awet and windy Monday night but certainly a bit. More visually appealing

They have scored against the defunct mob at all 3 grounds?
Sorry for my thickness, got bad man flu. :(
Mr LYNCH,
Aren’t you the guy who asked me to rate historical events on a scale of 1-10?
Dallas
there can only be one. James McGrory……. shot bursts the net at CP spins upwards and wind assisted comes down at Hampdump, goes through the goal, bounces for the first time, leaves upwards bending right, rides the wind, comes down and finally nestles in the corner at the Broomloan end.
Can’t see anyone else getting close…………
