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.

Huvnae heard the Catholic cats, Proddy dogs, Orange rats rhyme since childhood. Huns in our street had no answer to our wit bar violence. Same as it ever was and always will be.
Foxy, from earlier…I think Cosgrove was getting a bit miffed :O).
Hail Hail.

That should be the last we ever hear or see of the Labour MP who was on Question Time. Embarassing and clueless all at the same time.
Wild and reckless down here at the moment.
DD,
Yep, same as it ever was..we’re the talking heads…thems is the dead heads.

The Glasgow Bhoys love Belfast. Just off the phone to Petec. He is buzzing. All booked up for Belfast and he just bought the last ticket for Oz Pink Floyd on the Sunday after Mass in Saint Mary’s.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve never really listened to Pink Floyd and now I’m going to see, the equivalent of them them, live.
The fact it is seating arrangements is a bit crap though, or is it really that kind of show. ;)
The 30 hours or so before the Floyd show might be a bit mental so it might be just as well to have a gig like I think it may well be.
Here we go, flights and accommodation sorted as well as that last ticket.
Quick Survey
State your preference A or B:
A: Hunco fail to get promoted this year
B: Hunco get promoted and then relegated next season

petec,
Here was me thinking (charlie) you where always on the dark side of the moon, joking, have a grand time in Belfast, as I know you will. HH
Neganon
Yer rambling now man.
Wow
That was a wild 10 min walk up the hill from the station. It’s like everyone’s rd y ling is being recycled as we speak!
Gauge says it’s 7 degrees but my freezing head tells me different.
HH jamesgang
100% A so far – haha
Cultsbhoy,
A then B then A.
C. Hunco die
Whilst I typed that last message out, it has to have had the windiest 10 minute backdrop ever, that was mental.
I think it should be hitting Norway by now, mega winds. It has dropped down a lot now though, Thankfully.
CultsBhoy,
A) Gives them time to expire before we play a League game against them.
Hail Hail.
Personally – I’d like B
Petec
Don’t fall in the Clyde, you will be in Norway before morning. Mental wind up the bank.

Norway is Good, the Real Deal is from there.
Watch Celtic go after this Break, I was hoping to have one of those well studied and signed players, right at the start of the window with the Management team so they can get as many good coaching sessions in as a unit.
31st it is looking like. :(
It looks like Ronny is going to start playing Liam in more games now and that is good.
Inter are also looking like they are getting better, again that is good. I want Celtic to give them a hell of a game after they have went on a very good run, Inter will be favourites either way, the way Celtic play their best, with a Full House. I Believe we can do it.
Petec
I know why your mum loves Elvis. Mine prefers Nat King Cole and Dean Martin. All three can sing! :)

Thanks for the info.

Hows life up the Briggs?
DD, bulldoze it into the Clyde…………………………..on a Saturday.

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!

We now have a hotline to phone in case of extreme weather and whether to travel or not.
If this was last night, I’d be phoning it right now, although they’d probably wait until a lot later before deciding such a measure.
Take it easy out there, if it is anything like up here, there are some severe spells of winds that will knock over lots of trees.
ACGR
I have my licence for the wrecking ball machine. I will pay to do the bulldoze the Victorian Lavvy Edmiston Dr gig. Down down down!!!
If we were offered anything more than £7 Million for VVD with a guarantee from Celtic that we would spend that £7 Million on two players I’d be happy.
But they won’t, and I’ll be miserable again. Open goal for M23 there BTW
Get him oot the door if he doesn’t want to play in the hoops.

Would love Ronny D to build his team and hold them for 5 years. He will win us a Euro trophy.
Crazy weather here at the harbour in Irvine.
Don’t think the fence will survive :o(.
Hail Hail.

I will give you my Pink Floyd collection. I have everything they have recorded.
God bless the poor lady who set fire to herself in Clydebank Polis shop yesterday. Please help her, she is the ignored beggar of Romany appearance who sits on our Clydebank streets looking for a bed and a meal. World going wrong Pete.
Fred C. Dobbs, I hope your fence survives the night. I’m in the wilds of Angus and the weather is spectacular. Things are being picked up and moved by the wind. There’s lightning out over the sea beyond Arbroath.
Its a very impressive display from Mrs nature. Ma shed is vibratin and looks like it might be in Norway tomorrow.
