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.

Hi mate . Your surely kidding that you would accept £7 mil for VVD . That bhoy is class , just go back a few years , we were crying out for a centre half of quality . But I have no doubt if a decent offer is made he will be sold , it’s all about balancing the books , the team and fans are secondary . When you look at the transfer fees paid for ordinary players down south , I would say £10 mil. Upwards is what we should be looking for . I also thought he wouldn’t stay long with us , if we thought it , surely so must our leaders , I only hope a suitable replacement has been sourced . All in all , we will soon be down to sevco,s level .

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.

Unfortunately, that all happened at the start.
The controller of this World, currently, is playing us and getting more desperate but with more results. There is always hope, though.
One of my favourite tracks ever.
It is powerful.
Thank God for CQN. ;))

We’ll most probably trouser the money and get a loanee in though.

Hail Hail.

Just a couple of minutes of mega winds.
It would be funny if the fixtures were called off whilst the Bhoys are getting excellent coaching in the Sunshine, whilst going for 4, yes FOUR trophies in Ronny’s transition period. Neil left Ronny a very healthy team to continue on with.
C’mon the Bolton…
Mair mega winds.
Petec,
is there a definitive track that says i think i fell asleep?
H.H.
Beans mean windz.

When I lived in Kilwinning,there were twelve houses on my left.
I looked out the window one morning,not a fence left.
Mine included,btw!
Still,it’s an Ill-wind that blows no-one any good. I worked for Sky at the time,and made a right few quid resetting most of the area’s dishes…

At 99yo,I’m not surprised…
