Football is a results business and Sunderland’s results have been rotten for months, so we shouldn’t be surprised that Martin O’Neill was dismissed as manager on Saturday. But he is Martin O’Neill, who appeared to be able to walk on water when at Celtic. What happened?
Martin’s teams played the same football at Sunderland as they did at Celtic and Leicester. Direct and, if supported by excellent players, incredibly effective, but Martin was the antithesis of the tinkerer manager. He had his plan and stuck to it, a fact which Alex McLeish successfully exploited.
Of all the recent dismissals in England his was least surprising. Sunderland thought they were heading for relegation but still have a fighting chance, the right change could produce the short-term boost required. As for our old pal Paulo, I’m in David Milliband’s camp. He and ‘Arry can go the same way.

Why are they cutting benefits……..BECAUSE THEY ARE POLITICIANS, and will only remain in power if they don’t ‘hit’ the power-brokers….

If you can accept that the PTB want a feudalist system and that means destroying the Middle Class, then things become a bit clearer.
Cyprus is after all, a “Template” for the future. There is a reason people get to Middle Class, they are determined and clever and they are a threat to the PTB IMO.
Warnock leaves Leeds
Warnock was on a looser when he signed that fud Diouff.
Of all the scum bags I’ve seen play football , undoubtedly he is the worst and by a long long way.

Villa beat chelski 2-0 after 90 minutes not on penalties -Islam Feruz played full game and ended up tournament top scorer though didn’t play well tonight
MON sat for 2 years being paid from us. The day after we finished paying his wages he signed for Aston Vlla.
Bada bing
I see an ex Celtic view writer commenting that Warnock still owns a holiday home in West of Scotland?
Him and Chuckles would be best double act since Eric and Ernie.
I would just like to say thank you to a group of men who 97 years ago today, set out on a hopeless mission which they knew they could never win, they did it so that the likes of me, my children and grandchildren could live as free Irishmen in our own land. There are those who say its wrong to rake up the past, I say its wrong to forget the past. I will never forget or never stop honouring their memory.

That is everything that is wrong about scottish football.
Liam Craig gets the equaliser, that will probably see UTD not make the top six, he should have seen red, shocking display yet again by the referee.

One slight alteration to my post before some pedantic Historian calls me out on it. I should have said Easter Monday 97 years ago. Easter Monday 1916 fell on the 24th April.

a greenock shammy bus favorite that one, back in the day, and a great video.
cheers.
clashcitybhoy-Pretty sure Warnock said a few months ago he would retire at the end of the season,been brought forward a few weeks.I think he may have crossed paths with Challs at Sheff Utd,? He would see through that chancer in a heartbeat.

As one who has never set foot on Irish soil(will be remedied some day).
I seen this earlier on Phils twitter.

its a history lesson, but this guy is brilliant –

Warnock also referred to Diouf as a sewer rat and then went on to sign him. He doesn’t strike me as a man of integrity.
It would be no surprise to see him turn up at Ibrox.

Is it okay to have Di Canio as my favourite fascist Celt – not much competition probably.
Also, he did hate the huns. Ask Ehun Feargushun

Enjoyed that. Nerr heard it before.
There really needs to be a big turnout this week so that this dreadful piece of legislation is consigned to the dustbin.
2000 people is unlikely to worry the controllers of this Country. 20000, then we would be starting to get them opening their ‘eye’ to the peoples complaints.
HT-I could be wrong but i think Diouf was at Leeds before Warnock turned up.
southside @23:01 “Is it okay to have Di Canio as my favourite fascist Celt – not much competition probably.”
He’s definitely in my top two.

Hail hail to the men of the 1916.
Hail Hail indeed,
my grandfather fought in the war of independence and was posthumously awarded “the black and tan medal” from De Valera.
COGAD NA SAOIRSE.
It’s called The Stadium of Light because of its links to the local mining industry.
The Stadium stands on the site of the former Wearmouth Colliery.
A giant, model of a Davy Lamp, the mining lamp used by colliers, stands proudly outside the stadium.
I pray for a big turn out next Saturday. I actually toyed with the idea of travelling over for it but family comitments has put the kibosh on that.
HT
Warnock has more faces than Green & Whyte put together!! Doesnt even talk a good game.
