We are all looking forward to big changes in the football department. Players, manager, coaches and scouts will arrive at Lennoxtown in the coming months with the specific aim of improving the performance of the football department.
Such change brings risks, but just to the culture of the club, which is up for renewal every week and saw plenty of change in the autumn, but to the stock of corporate knowledge. One of the failings of John Barnes short-lived experience was his failure to understand the risks when visiting places like Tannadice. Some travel north thinking it will be all too easy, remember Joey Barton, who was nutmegged at Ibrox during a defeat to Hamilton Accies.
If today’s story on John Kennedy being promoted to work with Eddie Howe is true, he will add a couple of decade’s experience of how Scottish football works to the new management team. I also hear Eddie was impressed by John. Of course, sticking it to them on Sunday will not do any harm.

Look at a proper dictionary.
Big, heavy, old fashioned thing called a book.
Oxford, Chambers, Collins. Take your pick.

‘I’d have liked us to have bought McGinn but I tend not to lose sleep over what might’ve been.’

If you don’t learn from mistakes you’re bound to repeat them.
The McGinn saga had the same characteristics as the treatment of Jackie Mac and Bobo Balde. Arrogant and more concerned with establishing dominance over the individual than getting a deal done and doing the best for the club.
Hopefully that will change when Lawwell leaves, but the concern has to be that Lawwell’s boss is still there, and he must have known and approved of Lawwell’s approach to these matters.

The only one you could be sure of is Brian Wilson.

Sorry for not being clever enough. You once again prove that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

Bobo’s gonna get yeh! / The Derry Pele? Di Canio is a big no for me.
Anyway, truce time and just Celtic chat from now on – so who is your all-time Celtic cult hero Ernie?
ERNIE LYNCH on 30TH APRIL 2021 10:18 AM
Yip, how sad is that?

Even sadder if you’re a member of the cult.
They hate him.
Ernie – I accept your definition of cult,
cult: n, a system of religious belief; a sect; an unorthodox or false religion; a great, often excessive, admiration for a person or idea; the person or idea giving rise to such admiration; a fad;
and based on it – who is your Celtic all-time cult hero?
HH
Brian Wilson is not regarded very highly (putting it mildly) by those fine gentlemen who populate the North curve……………………………….are they a cult ?…………………………Banners slaughtering SNP politicians………………….
Mmmmmm Profile for Cult requires some re-evaluation. Ha Ha
I think the Brendan Rodgers cult worship was a fad.
Some incredible quotes from the current DUP leader front runner (no its not JHB).
On creationism
– “My view on the earth is that it’s a young Earth. My view is that 4000BC” – Poots speaking toThe Times’ Matthew Parris in 2007.
On the Big Bang
“You’re telling me that cosmic balls of dust gathered and there was an explosion? We’ve had lots of explosions in Northern Ireland and I’ve never seen anything come out of it that was good.” – Poots speaking to The Radio Times.
On Arlene Foster’s election as leader
– “Her most important job is wife, mother and daughter” – Poots speaking to the Northern Irish Assembly, in January 2016.
On blood donations
– “I think that people who engage in high-risk sexual behaviour, in general, should be excluded from giving blood… And so someone who has sex with somebody in Africa or sex with prostitutes, I am very reluctant about those people being able to give blood.” – Speaking on the Sunday Politics in 2012.
On a gay rugby team:
– “It would be unacceptable to produce an all-black rugby team or an all-white team or an all-Chinese team. To me, it’s equally unacceptable to produce an all-homosexual rugby team and I find it remarkable that people who talk so much about inclusivity and about having an equal role in society would then go down the route of exclusion” – Poots speaking to the Belfast Times in 2008.
On same-sex couples adopting a child:
– “The natural order – whether one believes in God in evolution – is for a man and a woman to have a child and therefore that has made my views on adoption very clear and on raising children very clear, that it should be a man and a woman that raises a child.” Poots speaking in Stormont in 2013.
cult; n. 1. a specific system of religious worship esp. with reference to its rites and deity. 2. a set devoted to such a system. 3. a quasi-religious organization using devious psychological techniques to gain and control adherents. 4. sociol. a group having an exclusive ideology and ritual practices cantered on sacred symbols, esp one characterized by lack of organizational structure. 5. intense interest in and devotion to a person, idea or activity: (the cult of yoga) 6. the person, idea, etc arousing such devotion. 7 a. something regarded as fashionable or significant by a particular group b. (as modifier) (a cult show)

Ernie – I accept your definition of cult,
###
It’s not my definition.
People don’t get to define words just to suit themselves.
Two last questions for a Celtic discussion:
1. Can you name your Celtic cult 11? (https://acsom.net/a-celtic-state-of-minds-cult-hero-xi-the-number-10/)
2. Does a Celtic cult hero have to have a song in his honour?
http://www.thecelticwiki.com/page/Artur+Boruc+-+The+Holy+Goalie+-+Song
Earn(ie)est question
Not wishing to get involved in a political debate but I find it incompatible being a Tory and a Celtic supporter.
I’m not saying we are an exclusive club but the values that the Conservatives stand for are surely a million miles away from those of the club we hold so dear.
Although to look at the present custodians it’s hard to balance that….
TIMMY7_NOTED on 30TH APRIL 2021 10:41 AM
What’s Mr Poots’ views on an all-Pradastan football team?
Or a Pradastan State for a Pradastan Peepul?
squire danaher on 30th April 2021 10:46 am
He responded with a great big unionist no surrender!!!
I once saw an all black rugby team that featured a player called Batty.
True Fact.

My last comment on the issue too. Thank you for the lecture on the evils of communism. But you didn’t answer my question. So you have confirmed that you think it was worth killing millions to “save’ Korea from communism.
I smell the fear of democracy.
you can tell from the unsourced evidence.
debt free nonsense on Celtic- unsourced
politics from a brexiteer – unsourced
the self harming corruption is evident look at the contracts given out in the country with a higher % death rate than India.Yeh heŕe.

“I remember driving to a European qualifier in the Faroe Islands with Hibs.”
###
Well, to be fair, it’s not something you’d be likely to forget, driving to the Faroe Islands.
###
That time sarcasm just looks and is stupid.
Unless you’re so arrogant and ignorant you think there are no roads in the Faroes.
Maybe they should’ve got a flight from the airport to the ground.

The Green Brigade certainly exhibit a lot of characteristics of a cult, yes.

The voice of a PLC lover you really are Tony Donnelly I claim my £5
LIONROARS67 on 30TH APRIL 2021 11:00 AM
This is a disgrace and betrays all we stand for – money talks to these guys though.
Boring smartass fails to react to earn(ie)est request –
name your all-time cult hero to have worn the Hoops.

To be fair he’s more liberal than his dad – the late Charlie Poots who wanted water and electricity supplies cut off to Nationalist areas of the 6 counties.

Wait till he finds out that the father of the big bang theory was a Belgian Jesuit.
The irony in this is that one of the main opponents of the notion at the time, Fred Hoyle, who was an atheist, reckoned that part of the reason the theory caught on was because it seemed to fit in with Biblical teaching.
LIONROARS67 on 30TH APRIL 2021 11:07 AM
So if you criticise the Green Brigade in any regard it means you love the PLC.?
Is that the level at which your mind works?
An Dún on 30th April 2021 11:09 am
I saw that earlier thats what triggered me to search the son out.
The Father quote I read was an absolute belter, would probably get you jailed today.
Ernie Lynch,
The last time we communicated I asked you how much the socialist Tony Blair was worth now.
You seemed to disappear.
Any update?

Ernie, do you think Naka deserves to be given the title of Celtic’s greatest cult hero?

Get over it.
AH…The BIG Bang ?…….well to be fair she was about 18 stone !
LOL.
HH.
I prefer the way my mind works thanks
If the cap fits were it, you accused the GB as the PLC do of being a cult
BTW cheap petty religious insults as a means of debate demeaned you, not the poster
Is that how your mind works
Aff oot religious intolerance not for me thanks
Any suggestions on how we should say goodbye to Broonie – surely the biggest cult hero of the last ten years?
