Uncommon penalties and chaotic weeks of back-biting

782

Kris Commons looked like he had put a lot of practice into taking penalties yesterday.  The ball was firmly hit and found the corner of the net, a feat which is far from impossible but which has been beyond various Celtic players for the last few years.  We have little a little over a month before we could face a penalty kick competition against Juventus.  Penalty kick practice should be on the menu every day between now and then, for the entire squad.

I’m delighted Lukasz Zaluska has had an extended run in the team.  No player will be at his best if he is seldom tested and never in important games.  Lukasz carried his share of the blame for last weekend’s Hampden defeat but not every keeper can pull off a Nigel Spink.  Good to have Fraser back for Inverness.

If you read on a Celtic site that The Rangers chief executive and chairman are “at loggerheads” after “a chaotic week of back-biting” or that there is a prospect they will “frighten the life out of those institutional investors who ploughed £17million into the coffers little more than a month ago”, you would be forgiven for discounting the claim as a case of wishful thinking.

When it comes from the Daily Record and recent colleague of the club’s newly installed head of media you can be sure there is a little more to it than that.

You would think with all the positive feedback Green and Murray would have received form the SPL Commission they would be flush with joys.  I sincerely hope, for their sake, that Phil’s Bridge over Troubled Waters ditty was more wishful thinking than another leak from the media team.  That would be embarrassing.  “Squelch.”

    A huff is just a form of passive anger.

     

     

    If I were given the choice of being shouted at for half an hour or ma wife going into a huff for a week, I’d go with the half hour tirade.

     

    Mind if the huff was only for a couple of days then that small period of tranquility would have its attractions. :)

     

    Seriously the huff is part of the anger stage merging with depression.

    By that reckoning,all I need to do is go out and kill someone and leak it to the press.

     

     

    Blame it on the CPS. No chance of a fair trial,etc.

     

     

    Actually seems like a good idea…………

    It’s been tried on a number of occasions – I don’t need to tell what the outcome was!

  9. This hun has a plan .I’m worried :O)

    Bears,

     

    With the news that HMRC simply ignore legal process and have a blank cheque to pursue Rangers until they get the result the festering old boy network requires and in the process destroy 140 years of historical sporting culture in a land many of them probably have never stepped foot in, is it time to be the nation again, that stood against him, you know the rest.

     

     

    As one of the many thousands who were in Manchester a few years ago, I have seen at first hand the power of the Rangers family, let’s take this fight to London, not as a disorganised rabble, but as a highly passionate and articulate football fan base, let’s get on every single media channel and get the message across to a wider and even global audience, let’s be that itch you can’t quite reach, the pain that won’t go away, let’s ask the questions about how many non IR35 contractors they are using, who employ off shore companies based in the Isle of Man etc to avoid TAX!

     

     

    100,000+ Bears at the gates of No 10 & the Headquarters of the HMRC, now keep that out of the news.

  10. This guy has a plan – stock up on the calamine lotion:

    But they said those folk in Manchester weren’t Rangers fans. When will they make their mind up?

  16. When the learned Hun requests his brethern to be the itch they cannot reach, is he asking them to be Ass- *oles, I’ve got News for him, they already are.

    Trust me!

  18. if 100,000 of thems march through london the govt will immediatly grant Scotland independence.

  19. This is truly wonderful stuff,

     

    The gift that keeps on giving is such an apt way to describe the whole mess that is RIFC but a great wee weekend with the Cup tie, HMRC Appeal and now doubts over the Share issue comments – all the while we cruise into the last eight of the Cup

     

     

    The nicest part of all is we know that several thousand “ordinary bears” have been truly fleeced. Could not happen to a nicer bunch
