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.

just watched mcdowell interview on stv i player – clearly he is protecting his job by saying he is doing what he is told – absolutely astonishing situation. If these players are not showing up well in training he still has to play them. If a players form dips he still has to play them. The impact to the rest of the team who have played this board through terrible times , with the threat of not having their salaries payed etc… will be significant – they will simply down tools!
tomorrow will be a riot if the EGM is turned down – then the fun really begins.
Where is Reagan and Doncaster – this club has no money , they are not solvent – why are they sitting back and doing feck all!!
Just watched the Huddle online on Celtic TV, guest was Rudi Vata.
Good interview and big RD fan.

Hand picked audience on question time tonight
I wonder what the Labour supporters on here would choose, if given the choice….an Independent Scotland run by a left wing Labour party with a large majority or the Labour party as is governing the Uk….just wonder…
The People Vs, Murray’s Skint
Winning I think the site looks fantastic.
But when the RST talk mince the SMS lap it up.
They will ignore us.
Playing their game will never take us forward. We need to call em out at every opportunity.

“Scotland is resolutely sectarian. The Catholic church has abandoned it’s flock based on a pathetic deal with the SNP…”
What evidence have you got to support this claim? Is it cause Nicola Sturgeon is the MSP for the Catholic ghetto of Govan and so needs to do a deal with them to keep them sweet?

You really need to get a life……perhaps work has you over stressed. This is a simple little blog, not a movement to change the world.
neganon2…thanks…

Vmhan, thanks for the heads up. I’m going to watch that.
ITV 3 12.05 Bloody Sunday
Football mad man. Played football when had no concert. Big fan of Santos and Pele. All his life there were football men around him. Jamaica international Allan “Skill” Cole was his manager, director , who was responsible for organizing tours. Played football on the streets and behind the scene of the concert before the show. He used to say – if somebody wants to know who he is – he must play football against him and the Wailers. “Football is pure art. It’s whole world to me. It’s whole universe to me. I love it because if you want to be footballer you must be a skillful man. Football is freedom. When I play football, the whole world wake ups from the sleep. He probably would be still with us if not football. In 1977 he played football in Paris against team France. In that game he broke toe finger and then lost toenail. It turned, he got infection in his toe finger. Later he heard the doctor’s diagnosis that was melanoma. Marley did not agree for his leg amputation. With the time passing cancer attacked his liver, lungs and brain. He wanted to die on Jamaica but the plane with him on the board was turned back to the USA because due to his health condition, not one hospital on Jamaica agreed to continue the treatment. 70 years old tomorrow if still with us.

Don’t know where you come from, but I am a member of the Larkhall CSC, and, if you want to Google, we are the oldest CSC in Scotland. Formed in 1947. Please do your homework before you chastise us, others on here know who we are. No offence buddy and hope none taken. KTF.

BGX well you asked a simple question and you got a simple answer.
Westies. Who is trying to change the world. I’m just trying to alert a few people I’m this wee corner of sectarianism to face up to it. As for getting a life? I’m doing ok. You?
Lubo do your remember when they were passing the OB act? At th same time the whole gay marriage thing and Catholic schools debate was raging?
The ole Catholic church did what they thought was a deal on both. One down and one to go.

BGX that’s a fair point. But wee scotland on its very own invented the OB act. That was a sign on what the SNP really think my friend.
No excuses. No argument.
A so called modern society criminalising it’s minority.
Pretty amazing eh?
