At 21-years-old Tom Rogic should be strongly staking his claim for a central midfield berth at Celtic. The fact that he’s not is a disappointment to the player, and apparently the nation of Australia. It’s also a disappointment to you and me. He has the physique and the passing ability but after some tentatively positive performances last season he hasn’t kicked on as hoped.
There could be lots of reasons for this, it’s not necessarily the ‘fault’ of the player, his ability or the club, but football careers wither on the vine when clubs hoard talent. If Tom can get some game-time under his belt at Melbourne Victory, and potentially get to Brazil in the summer, we will have a better indication if he is the real deal.
Someone just text me, “Rangers need to be a long-term sustainable business and that’s the bottom line. The club needs to change”, from that memorable Craig Whyte interview to The Scotsman in 2012. Groundhog Day….
So Fifa presidential candidate, Jerome Champagne, has proposed the introduction of a sin-bin, to be invoked by the referee brandishing an orange card. What’s your view on this, is there a universal association between sin and orange, or is this another subversive plot by Celtic fans? I have my suspicions.

I think they are far deeper into the illusion than that. In their world they did nothing wrong and actually were punished it had nothing to do with there being a consequence for given action.
Come to the conclusion it is a sanity measure for many of them

I think of the huns entrenched position as being an example of :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias
However – you may have a more accurate model – an illusory world they need to inhabit to make the Bad Thing go away.
I thought the ole SFA always played the orange card?
FT: Celtic 1 (P. Twardzik 29) Aberdeen 2 (McManus 40, Low 58 pen)
From rm
“Hopefully him, his coaching staff and his shi””e tactics are punted out the door or he has walked away before we’re back in the top flight. We’d get destroyed in the top league with him at the helm sitting they’re absolutely clueless as to what’s going on. ”
…hahahahahahahahahahahahaha….!!!!…….also…….
….I can see dead people, and I saw them…….they’re no cumin back……LLLLOOOOLLLL…
So my baw Barry is now at Blackpool looks like a wee cheeky bid for Lee Wallace will be on the cards to help Sevco.

The uni tuition rate out with Scotland in the UK is £9k per year.
The Labour Party policy is to introduce similar rates in Scotland. We have a four year degree course. I hope this explanation suffices

Correct.
Can you imagine the media if Barry Ferguson got the job at Stalag Hun. Remember the year he went without receiving a booking. It was cos he was Scotland captain said the media. They backed him to the hilt when he fell out with PLG. Ian King wrote a truly vomit inducing piece on how Barry wanted buried in his Rangers top. Shudders. The butcher would run out of lamb if he came back here.
I would imagine Bazza will make bids for all sorts of dross from his former club and a few from another couple of Scottish clubs IF he is allowed to buy players. It’s a temporary job he may not get any funds.
Ince had to be sacked. I know he is looking after his sons best interests but he is the manager of the team. Madness!

Was that the year he took an Aberdeen player by the throat and didn’t get sent off cos elbows had already been sent off?
And didn’t he get three bookings in Euro comps, cos the refs aren’t scared?
Ah Bosco, you just reminded me about Iain King. Around about the time of the Sunday Mail’s vicious campaign against Fergus and Celtic, King wrote a wonderful fairy tale about the huns buying a top Turkish striker. He may even have penned the ‘exclusive’ about the huns’ pursuit of Ronaldo. They ended up with Flo(p). As 67 heaven would say, “hahahahhahahahahahahahahhah!”

that’s a bit harsh! Only mentioning what has been circulating on the old rumour mill!I it probably is rubbish but am I not allowed to comment on this no matter what?
Just keep this site open for pseudo intellectuals like you, eh? Nae bother.

Well others were still doing it and getting paid 10yr after leaving the hate factory (ALLEGEDLY)
Ole Weiry Davie managed Sheff Utd from 10.6.13 to 11.10.13 in 13 games he won just 1 game(7.69%) before getting sacked

Don’t ever post anything non-Celtic on the blog but this is very funny on so many levels from Skysports web-site:
Forfar boss Dick Campbell was impressed by his side’s opponents.
“Get off Rangers’ backs,” he said. “The goals they scored were magnificent. World class.
“Honestly, Barcelona couldn’t defend those two goals. Credit to them, their quality beat us. You would expect that because they are full-time, while I have got plumbers and boys coming off the boats at half five to play. So I have no excuses.”

I’m in my 50’s and i haven’t given up hope…sad git that I am…
Referees seem to have trouble dishing out red and yellow cards appropriately.
Introducing a third colour could cause complete mayhem.
For those refs of a Sevconian persuasion (practically all of them) it could be a handy weapon against Celtic. Not as contentious as a red………just sin bin a key Celtic player at crucial times in a match to give the opposition a wee leg up.
So, definitely not for me. There is more than enough scope for Mibbery as it is.
KINGLUBO not pseudo anything, I’m pretty dumb actually.
just cant stand celtic fans getting het up about rumours that could have no truth and criticise the club for something that hasnt happened and in all likelihood wont ever happen.
my post was meant tongue in cheek, must have been lost in translation.
sorry for any offence, ill feck off now i think before i get in more trouble.
so long
why is Grant Russell getting lots of congratulations on Twitter ?

Appreciate your honesty. I’m not in the least getting”het up”,sorry if you think I was. Just saying and making comments on all the rumours, OK?
You can buy me a pint and I will forgive you!!

Couldn’t agree more and can’t help thinking that our yellows would become orange cards while certain others straight reds would be orange at best.

It’s because on 23 May 2013 he wrote in his Pisces horoscope:

I supported the idea of a sin-bin card. amongst other rule changes, in a CQN magazine article.
I recognise the fear that posters have of partial application of the rules by biased refs, but I remain convinced that it is a sensible idea to distinguish the levels of yellow card offences that currently exist and the stupid inflexibility of 2 yellows amounting to permanent ejection from the game.
I welcome a good idea nut I am not naive as to how it can be used as a bias tool. We need to clean up the refs rather than reject good ideas.
I see Bobby Madden was being put into the Ian Brines Box of ‘incompetent but not biased” by Mark Guidi because he had seen him ref Rangers badly too. I am unsure though I accept it is true of Brines. What I am sure of was that I thought Madden was the worst ref in the world on Saturday until I saw the performance of Brian Colvin in the Hearts: St. Johnstone game on Sportscene.
