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.

Bobbio,

off topic……
The France thing happened and the First thing that came into my mind was, we are going to have a lot more of our rights stripped away from us.
911 was the first wan, wow, we are going to have a lot more inconveniences happening to us from upside, downside, left and right.
We are going to have to take a LOT more of your rights away now because this is happening in your City Centres, people running about with AK47’s shooting people that protect you.
Look a bit deeper, go on, I dare any one of you to go beyond this YoUtUbE.
Remember there are Societal Engineers out there, a wee Scooby Doo.

Bold Bobby Murdoch – The heart of the Lisbon Lions
“Bobby Murdoch, not only was he the best of the Lions, he was the best in the world. He was the best around in the late 60’s and early 70s. They talked about George Best, Gerd Muller, Franz Beckenbauer. But at that very time Murdoch was the best footballer in the world, for me.”
Man in the Pub!

TLT,
My favourite night at Saltcoats was when Dave Angel DJ’d.
Normally the place was rocking like a Rhino but Dave just killed the Happy Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy music with killer Techno beats, he always put in Sounds that went deeper into your brain.
The Bouncy Bouncy crew, IMO, were encouraged to take a lot more pills.

Reread this earlier and thought I would share this wee nugget in our history. :-)
The Glory and the Dream Chapter2.Catholic and Irish P.17/8
Ned McGinn
*Celtic’s association with Catholicism had its lighter moments.One member of a Celtic committee, Ned Mc Ginn, was so delighted at Celtic’s winning the three major trophies (The Scottish, Glasgow and Charity cups) that he wired Rome in 1892
‘We’ve won the three cups Your
Holiness’
He was incensed at not receiving a reply, and it was with difficulty that his fellow members of the Home Government branch of the Irish National League restrained him from moving a vote of censure on the Pontiff.

Three thoughts for a Thursday
1 On why Rangers fans ( some not all ) are resistant to Ashley, then I would refer to the reaction to Bill Miller and Bill Ng as examples of why this is the case.
Rangers fans for decades wanted players from a specific background to represent the club. I suggest that the noisy element objecting to Ashley haven’t evolved to the point of preferring an owner from his background when there is a traditional alternative.
Ashley as owner is exactly what Rangers need just now. He has the financial firepower to bring stability and the business expertise to make the club sustainable and eventually competitive. He also has connections & influence to the richest league in the world. Why all of that is a bad thing for a club that has shown no ability , in any form or incarnation, to run profitably since the 1960’s mystifies me. I would rather compete against Dave King any time rather than Ashley.
2 Paul Murray has been shown yet again to fail in his judgement and his duty of governance. He had in his Blue Knights consortium an individual who has just been sentenced to prison time for very serious financial and business related crimes.
Yet Murray was happy for this now criminal to be part of his attempted ownership group. Murray has previously spoken in glowing terms of another criminal in Dave King. I have no doubt Paul Murray is an honest individual and a decent guy, however he really has dreadful judgement. He failed as a non executive director of Rangers in exactly the same way Alistair Johnston did. He was unable to stop , or as far as is known, David Murray in hiving off significant Rangers contracts to MIH. Were these contracts awarded in an open , tranasparent bidding process, was the interests of minority shareholders protected ? Based on the decisions taken by Paul Murrays board to take absolutely no action to prepare for the consequences of both tax cases , it wouldn’t be uncharitable to conclude he did absolutely nothing and allowed David Murray to act as he pleased , regardless of the consequences for minority shareholders and to the club itself
3 Delighted for Alex Neill. We need all the good news stories we can get in Scotland. It is also encouraging to hear broadcast and print media enthusiastically extolling his track record, thereby enlightening the Norwich fans of Alex’s qualities and suitability for the job, where hopefully he will be a fantastic success.
What is not surprising in the least is that some of those doing the extolling are the same ones claiming Ronny Deila is not big enough for the Celtic job. Despite Ronny having a longer and more succesful track record than Alex to this point.
The Jingoism and desperation for controversy generated by some pundits in downmarket broadcasters and publications is not what we need in our game. The hypocrisy is laughable , however given the lack of intellect and / or moral integrity not in the least surprising.
