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.

scullybhoy,
at least try to educate me,
I am as big a Celtic fan as anyone,
but the throwing of the bottle and the clown that done it
are nothing to do with me or any decent Celtic fan,
it certainly was not done in my name
“If you don’t see how, then would be a waste of my time trying to explain ”
Not a very helpful response…..but at least it is one. I am still waiting. 16:44 Anyone?
JJ
KC and his family staying….nothing not to like about that…well done Kris..well done Celtic…
…original..,
Oh aye it’s an identical replication of what happened and there was no them and us implications either, point taken and dismissed.

We’re told today will be Kris Commons last game for #celtic
* = Naw ye dont hen :)))))))))))))))
Delighted that Lisa Hague is staying.
Oh, and Kris, too.
Genuinely pleased that both sides have come to an agreement on the contract.
I think that demonstrates goodwill all round.
I don’t expect Kriss to play too many ninety minutes, but his specialised skills and experience should be of great value.
Well done to all.
Leftie
Trust I’m not doing it by choice :-)
Thanks pal.
A strong message being sent with KC signing.
He has competition. He will be a great mentor for GMS.

Monkeys having their FFin’ cages rattled:
“Robust and Factual
….that’s what the board say their response to Dave King’s request for a General Meeting will be.
Surely their not going to refuse the request?”
——
“Factual?????? They didn’t honestly say that? They getting James Patterson to write the factual statement.”
——
“Thought its on the 6 th March”
——
“I hope they are ‘robustly’ thrown down the marble staircase in the very near future”
——
“If they refuse the EGM then the Hearts game protests will look like a picnic compared to what’s coming”
——
“If they fight back then yes, it’s time for direct action and for their fat *rses to be kicked out the Main Door…via marble staircase. That’s my fear as a pacifist…some c[hap] from board will light the match one day/night and things will be ramped up.”
——
“‘These wig *****s will not go quietly and will have one final hail mary lined up”
——
“If this tramps have waited to the last hour on the last day to deny the EGM request the scenes at Ibrox are not going to be pretty.” [Never are, Sammy.]
——
” I’m beginning to doubt they have any idea of the level of emotion they are ****ing with
here.”
——
“The rats don’t do facts, just lies.”
——
“Factual !! These c[haps] do not know how to tell the truth”
——
“Big Sandy will be able to do the robust, but they might be struggling for one of them who can do the factual”
——
“If they stand in King’s way then the protests from the Hearts game will look like a stroll in the park.
They really are playing with fire.”
——
“Factual? Why start now?”
——
“Go get them Dave”
——
“I’m probably just getting myself too wound up with all this sh*t though, the prospect of finally getting our club back after of we have been through became real for me again after watching Kings PC yesterday. The sad thing is the whole experience has left me so paranoid I’m seeing threats to our dreams coming from every possible angle.”

Stalin was as a child brought up orthodox christian and became athiest and nearly extinguished it all together in the 30’s. So yes you can be non religious and be evil .One in reality clearly outweighs the over. That was more to do with communist policy and attempted industrialisation of russia through slave labour
It still doesnt detract from original point about religion and james forrestt incorrectly deriding my point by trying to suggest hitler and germany were athiest when they were quite the opposite.
Jungle Jim
Assume alleged incident was reported to Plod Assume the relevant Accident and Emergency Unit will also have reported Father’ s account re how child came to be injured to Plod.
Presume Plod are making enquiries.

Thanks for the reply and whilst I agree that witness statements are evidence, assumptions and hopes, with all due respect, are not.
Anyone? EVIDENCE?

The approach you’re taking over this reminds me of the the night Ernie argued on here over the word ‘cowardly’ when used to describe the murderers of Lee Rigsby. Most people are mainly concerned that a 10 year old boy was hit with a bottle.
I don’t really care if my argument has been dismissed by you or not.
…original..,
Maybe not but the fact remains there is no comparison, how was your wife’s story reported ?
Was it reported ?

Is that you, Lisa??
Robert88,
Are you claiming that Hitler was a Christian?
FFM – I’m the only conspiracy theorist in the village)
Only on a Saturday night and behind closed doors. :-)
Here’s one quick comment on Dave King’s statement. He said he wanted fans in control of the club and he was prepared to put up 50% of the cost [or words to that effect]
Now I assume he doesn’t mean that he’d be 50% owner as that means he’s in control and not the fans. So let’s assume that he means 50% of the fans’ controlling 51%. There’s something quite subtle in there. It gives him 25.5% of the total.
That means he could block any move requiring the 76% vote. I haven’t seen that mentioned anywhere [because it’s hogwash]

“I hope they are ‘robustly’ thrown down the marble staircase in the very near future”
Savage but it made me smile 0:-)

Wonder if we’ll hear from any of the ‘I know for a fact Kris Commons is leaving’ brigade.
Doubtful CSC

Life of bwian
JJ, the huns shouldn’t joke about throwing people down the marble staircase. There’s still a longstanding whodunit re the stair.

I know this much … when totalitarian regimes take over in their respective countries freedom of speech is first to go and freedom of worship is usually the second.
Hitler and the Nazi regime were aggressive in their efforts to rout the church in Germany, most significantly the Catholic church. Their intention was nothing less than the complete elimination of Christianity from the Reich.
There is a reason why this is the case, and it’s up to you whether you want to argue the point or not.
Religious teaching grounds a community and a society in certain moral “norms”, most important of which is the sanctity of human life. In order to properly build the conditions necessary for human beings to murder other human beings in large numbers outside of the usual barbarities of war, it was necessary to carve away that moral underpinning … and the churchs have always been amongst the most vocal organisations in opposing murderous regimes as a result.
This is why the most diabolical regimes in history, those with most blood on their hands, have tended to operate in countries which lack the socializing effects of religious faith.
Just my opinion, but one I believe is borne out in facts.
