There’s a moment in Woody Allan’s movie Bananas, after the leader of a military coup takes control, that he loses his faint grasp on rationality and plunges headlong into random nonsense. He informs the inhabitants of his Latin American country that Swedish will be their new language and that underwear now should be worn as an outer garment.
BBC’s Jim Spence this morning reports that a Dundee United director, flush with the success of reaching the League Cup final, told him United want almost double the ticket allocation for the final than they were able to sell for the semi-final, as “We want to ensure as big a crowd as possible for the game, which we are sure the sponsors would want too”, and that he wants United fans in the Toryglen end of the stadium, or the Celtic end, as it’s known by everyone else in the land.
Sure, ask for more tickets than you were able to sell, but don’t justify your request on the basis that this will ensure a bumper crowd. If anything, it will achieve the opposite.
Asking for the Celtic end is right up there with wearing your pants on top of your trousers. It’s a random and irrational exercise of power by someone who is evidently in way over their head. It’s technically possible to have United at the ‘Toryglen’ end, but it would achieve no benefit and only cause confusion and inconvenience to thousands. If Woody Allen is short of quality material (which appears to be the case), he should spend some time here.
Scotland is not full of these types, but those there are seem to gravitate towards positions in our national game. From now on, I’m going to think of United chairman Stephen Thompson with his pants on the outside. Pantsman Thompson, seems an appropriate handle.
I don’t know about you, but it’s been a while since I’ve had to listen to thousands sing “No Pope of Rome” at a public gathering. The problem is not as significant as it was a few decades ago, and is largely limited to the embers of a dying sub-culture. The rest of the country has moved on, as have most Rangers fans. I’m not sure how, or if, you can check these excesses, but I’m sure they are overwhelmingly self-harming.
Kenny MacAskill, appointed Justice Minister in the SNP government on the basis of having selective hearing and being able to make absurd claims, left his post in November. His government have yet to make any comment on yesterday. Nor have they repealed the politically-motivated Offensive Behaviour Act, or show they are remotely interested in asking for the laws they introduced to be enforced without fear or favour. The Act was aimed at you and is simply flawed. It is toxic, remains in place out of nothing more than bloody-mindedness and will be repealed at the first change of government.
Anyway, you’ve got a cup final to look forward to on the weekend of the CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner at the Kerrydale Suite, on Friday 13 March. Email me, celticquicknews@gmail.com to book your tickets.

Aye,not my first pick either. The point I was making earlier,and I promise not to rehash it,is the dread I have of another Tory-led government.
Although I think whoever wins will be damned for eternity as a result of the next five years!

Never spoken with you before, but for somebody regularly slagging all the punters, you certainly seem to love spending time with the very people you show disdain for.

– EGM: Club has 21 days to notify shareholders that an EGM has been called and a further 28 days to release date for EGM and to hold it. December’s AGM was held in a ‘tent’ on the field because Rangers could not afford scaffolding to be erected at Main Stand.

neustadt braw,
Love that wee story about Messi, those fantasists and supremacists loved to try to get it up us, oh how I am enjoying the karma.
Wonder if Messi would have got an EBT, love watching him but it looks like he has a few tax problems of his own to sort out.

Former Celtic Player Gary Hooper Has A Pop At Rangers’ Ian Black On Twitter
February 2nd, 2015
Scott MacArthur
Former Celtic players Gary Hooper and Joe Ledley were back in Glasgow yesterday just before the end of Transfer Deadline Day.
However, they weren’t up to re-sign for their club as they made their way to Hampden Park to watch the first O@@ Firm game in just under three years.
A couple of old Bhoys are joining in the celebrations @joe16led @HOOP588 pic.twitter.com/Kg 4Vj9JWlM
— Celtic Football Club (@celticfc) February 1, 2015
Celtic ran out 2-0 winners in what was a very comfortable win and it seems old habits die hard as Hooper slaughtered Gers midfielder Ian Black on Twitter as he asked if he was still in Celtic captain Scott Brown’s back pocket.
The Norwich striker was Tweeted a photo of the Rangers team in a back pocket to which he replied “Is Ian Black still in there?”
Ian Black has already revealed his anger at referee Craig Thomson for not sending Brown off following a crunching tackle between the pair at the end of the game.

[Hmmm…Why is Black not being charged with ‘Bringing the game into disrepute’,following his comments about the referee being ‘too cowardly’ to show Broonie a red card ?….Ed]

Good morning friends from a crisp, clear skied frosty East Kilbride.
Seriously thinking about just lurking for a while.
Take care,
Jobo
Morning Timland from a cold and wet hun free mountain valley.
Very happy with the players in, thought a few more would have left mind you.
As for cheat fc, dearie me, the sfa will find no sporing advantage half a team they can’t afford, feck the likes of Hibs, QoS, Falkirk who play by the rules.
If I were a suit at any of them clubs, I would tell the sfa to get t eff, the game a boggie.

Morning jobo,

One regular complaint we have is quality of cross ball from wide (usually from our wingbacks)
What about an spl experiment playing GMS amd Forrest as the wingbacks? Left and right respectively.
Worth a try?
