Supporting your ex, hurting the one you love, ballsy Ashley

892

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.

    Dallas Dallas / CRC, thanks but I still don’t remember that one. My memory for games is shite so that’s the reason. I do remember big Chris scoring there.

     

     

    BMCUWP, that’s the main reason I’m missing the PF concert. I’m heading over on Friday and back sunday. 16 roads is taking me round the whole of Belfast soI can photograph very mural. I hope his motor has a good engine cos we’ll need to keep it running in certain areas. I’m thinking of changing my flight and going along to the PF gig……………WTF was I thinking when I booked this.

    Page 11 is a decent place to start.

     

     

    Much better than the previous pages,they were difficult going at times.

  4. Labour MP on Question Time, is like the weak guy on the Fast Show , who would start off by saying the centre forward was crap, he would listen to a couple of loud opinions, and he would be Ronaldo 2 minutes later.

    EddieK, last time I saw you you were looking a bit poorly.

     

     

    Get a ticket and a hotel. See if you’d booked up early, Dena’s butler would already have you on his bedpan list.

    No collection of murals is complete without the famous Three Ducks.

    My ghirl is going to Derry for her birthday with her friends later this month, she’s hyper about, lucky lass.

     

     

    Well, that’s the cat in for the night, he’d get blown away with the wind.

     

     

    Fed him this morning before going to work, then let him out, i walked up to get the bus as I’m car less at the moment, who’s at the bus stop with me…Caesar.

     

     

    Had to take him home and lock him in..daft bloody cat.

  8. Neganon,

     

     

    I said it was nonsense and the previous two pages would prove it.

     

     

    A few known happys said he was fab and a few regular shafters said he was not.

     

     

    Simples.

  9. Geordie bhoy. I don’t believe that’s what I said is nonsense. I think it’s simply means you disagree?

  10. I’m thought big pierre done the trinity.

     

     

    But I’m not sure where the April 96 cup game was played!!??

    I would avoid the Evans debate. Especially if you are a wean?

    Why, am i incapable of debate? You sound like kitalba…..;-((

     

     

    H.H.

  12. Neganon,

     

     

    It means there was proof in front of your eyes if you’d care to check.

     

     

    So technically I did disagree but technically it was nonsense ;)

    Anyone got a link to Awe Naw’s rendition of the rewrite of the band aid song I did in the run up to Christmas?

     

     

    Awe Naw, I expect royalties on anything the record companies pay you for your efforts:_)

     

     

    Bernie Taupin though, ffs!!

  21. Hun skelp @2336

     

     

    Tis the very game.

     

     

    Maloney was brought down twice and somebody else long before a penalty was even given.

  22. BOBBY MURDOCH'S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on

    Getting a bit wild down here now,just as I get ready to go out.

     

     

    Nowhere near as bad as The Western Isles and The Orkneys,for instance. I hope everyone up there is well-battened down.

     

     

    Just canny get my washing dry,as despite the forecasts,rain has been its undoing. I suspect that the problem will have disappeared come morning!

  23. jamesgang,

    I see theres been a new version of the band aid song released for the govan paupers:

     

     

    It’s Crisis time, and there’s no chance of being paid.

     

    It’s Crisis time, our football’s crap, we’re getting sleighed.

     

    And in this world of Ashley’s we wear our brogues with joy

     

    Throw your arms around the huns, this Crisis time.

     

     

    But say a prayer, pray for the deid heid huns.

     

    At Crisis time, it’s hard, but when there is no fun.

     

    There’s a Tim outside your window, and it’s a Tim with flags and beer.

     

    Where the only joy you’re getting, is knock-off Ashley gear.

     

    And the Crisis bells are ringing, around the dome of doom.

     

    Well tonight that god they’re huns, and they’re not you.

     

     

    And there won’t be cash at Ibrox Park this Crisis time,

     

    The greatest gift they’ll get this time is loans,

     

    Where nothings ever paid, no bills or so it’s said,

     

    Do they know its Crisis time at all.

     

     

    Mock the hun,

     

    Let them know its Crisis time

     

    Mock the hun,

     

    Let them know its Crisis time again.

     

     

    Here’s to you, laughed and jeered by everyone

     

    Here’s to them, bigotry at every turn

     

    Do they know its Crisis time at all.

     

     

    Mock the hun,

     

    Let them know its Crisis time

     

    Mock the hun,

     

    Let them know its Crisis time again.

     

     

    Mock the hun,

     

    Let them know its Crisis time

     

    Mock the hun,

     

    Let them know its Crisis time again.

    My fat neighbour’s trampoline just flew past my back door when I was having a wee fly smoke oot there.

     

     

    My hatches are well battoned down, but I’m thinking of moving the cars away from the house in case tiles come off the roof. It’s blawin a hooley. It’s going to be a long night.

     

     

    Hope you’re well big chap.

  28. the glorious balance sheet on

    GeordieMunro 2331-

     

     

    Big Pierre never scored against them at Celtic Park.

     

     

    He scored twice against them at Hampden (3-0 league game at the end of the 94/95 Hampden season and late goal in the 95/96 Scottish Cup semi final).

     

     

    He scored at Ibrox in the 3-3 draw in 1995 and found the net at that cesspit again some years later when playing for Feyenoord in the UEFA Cup.

     

     

    But curiously he never scored v them at Celtic Park. He did miss a penalty against them at Celtic Park that was given by Dallas of all people with less than 5 minutes of the game to go in November 96 just after he had came out with his crap about £7,000 p/w being ok for a homeless person but not for him.
