Keep an eye on what’s happening at Leeds United. The club is under offer from ‘colourful’ Italian, Massimo Cellino, who will become owner if the Football League decide that his conviction for defrauding Italian tax authorities is not sufficient to make him an inappropriate person to control a football club.
If Cellino is declared unsuitable by authorities in England I am told to expect a coordinated media campaign to have people with similar backgrounds hounded out of the game here. The is a dirty war underway for control of one of Scotland’s newer clubs.
Leeds have historically been a club which it’s difficult to feel sympathy for but I genuinely feel for their fans, who suffered for the lack of a director to say ‘No more money’ amid the clamour to reach ‘the next level’, whatever that was at the time.
Now they are a massive club but lose circa £15m per year, making it impossible for them to compete with clubs far smaller than them. Being subject to the attention of convicts is a direct consequence.
On a completely unrelated matter, I read Phil Mac Giolla Bhain today use the word “Wonga” in relation to Newco Rangers’ recent attempts to finance. That was exactly the word used to me to describe a potential financer who is set to meet the club tomorrow. The campaign to oust the club’s current owners is significantly undermining their ability to do their jobs.
Well done to Big Yogi and the Highlanders for their unconventional route to the League Cup Final. It must have been an absolute sickener for Hearts fans to lose to nine men. Absolute. Utter. Sickener. Oh well.
I read Barcelona lost on Saturday for only the fifth time when Messi had scored. Can anyone name another occasion?

Got my tickets for Saturday today. Guy in Ticket Office told me the Sheep will be in areas 116-119.
What is happening to our support ?
The woman who ran that most august of hostelry’ s was called Lily.
She wouldn’t serve Catholics and she wouldn’t serve Guinness until she was assured that Guinness was owned by a Protestant family. Of course she missed the point that they employed 6000 Tim
The above reminded me of a wee story….Took place in 1970 ish…and we were young guys in our early twenties…
My mate and I had been down in Ayrshire on business one Monday morning…..and were making our way back to Barrhead….It was coming up lunch time and we were starving…We decided to stop at next suitable place for food…
Turns out…Next town was KIlwinning ( we knew nothing about it)…and there was this Hotel…We parked and walked in…( Oh and by the way…We had beaten the Huns on the Saturday)….The first thing we saw was the gantry…
Orange sashes…foties of Lizzie…foties of Ipox…and Hun teams…A Flute….the lot…
We stood open mouthed…. when this wee wumman appeared fae oot the back….
Hello..hid a good week-end? she asked us…..
We said…oh aye…great week-end…( fitba wise)…
She said..”You’re no welcome in here then”…
End of conversation…we walked oot…laughin’ like feck…
Happy days…
OOOPS …jist realised…that was over 40 years ago….
No happy days…!!
HH
Hope City win tonight…there the only team in the UK who have a Goal difference comparable with the Mighty Glasgow Celtic …..braw
Man City v Chelsea.
Financial fair play?
Will tune in ‘tho – money(mine!) at stake!
HH!!
Man City the lesser of the two evils tonight.
Jose was on the telly moaning about time wasting last weekend:))
“There your shouting at the telly again” said the wife as I watched it
Doc.
Does our group get three chances.
gordon_j-a kind of Kerrydale St version of Sesame Street? Sounds like fun :))
Manuel Pellegrini looking forward to his team pumpin’ Mourinho’s, after he was sacked by Réal Madrid and replaced by HIM!
Chelsea lining up in the old 5-5-0 formation tonight.
HH!!
Big Rab not a fan of bomber brown.lol
KLV
Aye City for me tonight Bhoys,
KLV
Leftclick…,
:oD))))))
Got to say I suffer from the same affliction, gobshite perfect wummin always lookin for something to have a go about.
I tell mine when she pays for the license, I’ll let her shout at the telly too.
Man City – unapologetically rich – but buy to enhance their team not to stop other teams getting their targets…
I simply despise Mourinho. This is a guy who only a could of seasons ago was nipping and jabbing opposition players in the face then running away…
… Then appears back in La La Land EPL like this re-invented wise sage of football…
… Give a matter of days and the spineless one is resorting to childish, redundant mind tricks and name calling of teams and managers (Familiar????)…
Horrible man, tanked up on cash. No Big Cup at Real Madrid – and that is a failing for wonderbags.
Don’t get me started.
Man City – we salute you…

Bob the builder cannae stand Brown.
The bommer, that is.

Just seen that young Eoghan O’ Connell is a cousin of Irish Rugby captain Paul O’Connell, must say I didn’t know that even though Eoghan’s family live quite close to my sister. Christ if he is anything like his cousin he will be some player.
are you real pal.CHRIST!!!!!! it’s not a plane crash or 2 million people dying in an earthquake here..somebodies cousin is playing for CELTIC junior team and that’s how you express yourself.!!!!just remind me is IRELAND still a cath country.?????
On big Fraser
Well done big chap – keep up the good work!
Fair play to the guys in front of the the Great Wall too!
On Stokes
Actually worked a bit harder on Sunday but still well short of what a CFC. Forward needs to be
On Boerrigter
Lacks courage to play for CFC -thought he did his best to hide when he came on and didn’t support young DF
On the ‘Shoe
Originally owned by a unionist family – Walker -who came from Belfast when it looked as though Home a Rule would go through
Never really a Tim friendly place IMHO
On Citeh versus Chelski
Citeh to stick it to the soft southerners and their turd of a manager!

Hamiltontim is praying for Oscar
I was watching the education secretary Michael Gove on the news today and my mind went to a conversation I had with a biology teacher friend i met last week.
We just met as she came off the bus,”your not looking too happy “said I.
“Nearly 40 years she said 40 years of trying to help working class children on the ladder of life,and do you know something Im thinking of applying for a job in tesco”
She went on to try and explain to this idiot about the Carriclum for excellence and how in her opinion it needs to be scrapped or there is no hope for the kids.
WE chatted (well I listened)about the pressure and workload that is put upon teachers nowadays and how she is disgusted by the pressure put on by the authorities .
3 nights till after 11 marking papers and it was the thursday I met her.
She smiled as we reached her gate and said of course I cant leave *****bhoy who will look after the children.
“Wullie Collum is still a F*D”(she likes him for some strange reason) says I and we parted laughing,thank you she shouted after me.
sorry for ramble but after watching that Gove today (I was shouting at the telly again)
Aw naw!
De Michelis playing in mf for City!
He’s mince!
Ffs!
2-1 City.
HH!!
Ulysses McGee , totally agree , he made cheating an art form , Decco wee bassa
Big cup,
I think they can claim up to a quarter of the stadium. That certainly used to be the case for cup games.
Hope Citeh score in first minute and spend the rest of the 90 minutes feigning injury and time wasting.

In the couple of times I have been there around 1200. To 1230 there has been no real problems with access and the lunch Q inside has been ok, food prices are reasonable.
LOL. good gag by the Sunderland fan on SSN – ‘They’ve just announced the new name of Newcastle’s ground – now called ‘The O 3 Arena’.
Roon ye, Pardew.
heading out to see Sheik Monsour11 v Roman Obramovich11 in the most overhyped and most marketed League in the world.

Enjoy your evening Celts

De Michelis. Agreed.
I was quietly confident about City earlier & layed Chelsea.
After reading the line-ups I think Chelsea will get something here.
Bottle crashed.
Don’t like the pair of them but enjoy having a punt on a Monday night
game.
An dun,
That’d be horrible to watch but soooo funny.
That Chelsea team selection is guff.
Man City -3 @ 18/1
Get in there.
FAV. UNCLE.
Well said, no room for blasphemy on the blog.

Irony :)

Yeah that’d be right about the sheep getting more tickets. But it’s our support who ain’t turning up. Saturday is our biggest game but at least 10,000 can’t be bothered going to the game.
Sandman @19.34
Nice one!
Stokesy, why didn`t you pass the ball?
