Treble chasing; business, not personal, the dirty battle

1454

Amid the general hilarity on Scottish football at the moment I’m sure it’s not escaped Ronny Deila’s attention that we have one of our most important games of the season coming up on Saturday.  The league is a marathon without any specific focus, the League Cup final is another huge game, but facing Dundee away is exactly the kind of game a club who are chasing a treble often lose.

It was Dundee who knocked the Aberdeen bandwagon off its tracks.  Given half a chance they will do the same to Celtic on Saturday.

Kenny McDowall must have felt a bit humiliated at being told he has to pick players on loan from Newcastle United, although clearly not humiliated enough to tell them to stuff the remainder of his contract.

Llambias’ instruction appears bizarre, but there’s always two sides to each story.  If McDowall informed his chief executive that he would not use the players, for reasons other than sporting merit, Llambias may well feel justified in making the instruction.

This public shaming of Llambias, the board, and by extension, Mike Ashley, is another act in a dirty battle.  Still, “It’s not personal, Sonny. It’s strictly business”, as Dave King almost said about Ashley yesterday.

Ashley’s men may be robbed of the ability to pick the team after an EGM next month, but he remains able to inflict a lot of ‘assistance towards the club’ before then.  If I can paraphrase Tom Hagan, ‘Mr Ashley never asks a second favour once he’s refused the first, understood?’  When personal offence has been taken, sometimes even good business isn’t enough to bring a ruthless patriarch to the table.

When news of the attack on the 10-year-old boy broke on Monday I assumed it would be a matter of hours before the offender was charged.  Three days on without news is concerning.  It appears that those who associate with people who believe random violence is acceptable and care little about the application on justice – which has nothing to do with any specific policing issue.

Hard cash is now available to anyone with information leading to an arrest. If you can’t report the offender for the sake of the victim, do it for the money.  You don’t need to be a witness to report the issue and collect the reward, you just need to know enough to get the ball rolling.

Well done to all who have gotten involved in the appeal to help the victim, especially organiser Rod Lee.  Stunning work, Rod.

    The Unsocial Network, you don’t get 500 million fans without making a few enemies (a boring film about hun FForums)

    Look. I have never for a moment doubted Paul’s credentials as a celtic fan and as a great human being. Not for a moment.

     

     

    I was a bit horrified when he was subject to abuse (and he said his family was ) when we were previously in a heated debate. It was of course never my intention. I apologised to him at CQteN. But i can’t be held accountable for the stupid.

     

     

    As you know I have nothing but admiration for you and those who brought the advert forward and I am a bit ashamed I missed the boat on that one.

     

     

    But I think Paul was probably manipulated by the media last weekend as you suggested. I know he wants to appear reasonable etc. but here’s the thing. We need to stand resolute against the scottish media. You need only see the mental propaganda being peddled after the game. I think he tried to hard.

     

     

    Paul if you are reading I apologise for my betrayal rant. But I do think you let them dictate to you. You are better than that.

     

     

    Originalsadiesbhoy I have absolutely no problem praising celtic when they do so,etching right. Sadly it’s all too rare. I libpve in hope they realise the error of their ways.

    Leftclicktic… Interesting.. King been rag dolled by Fat Mike at every turn so far…

     

    The longer this circus goes on, the more I think that the Easdales and Ashley have been in cahoots for a long time.They were smart enough to keep the convicted Easdale off the Board, knowing the glib and shameless liar would turn up again.
