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 Nor have they repealed the politically-motivated Offensive Behaviour Act, or show they are remotely interested in asking for the laws they introduced to be enforced without fear or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.

Did Celtic not announce, via Sky, that there would be no business with Bannon?
No surprise if the Armstrong deal has broken down, also reported.
How could United sell it to their support prior to the LCF?
This is the funniest thing I have EVER seen ……..hahahaha

So you are saying you are voting Labour who are not much different from Tory because of what Labour did up until John Smith. They are not that party now. They are nothing compared to that party.
Your explanation to me sounds much like what I hear coming from Huns about their club. only difference is they actually do believe they are the same thing while you are pointing out that Labour have not been since John Smith died but hey, F that! Tehy are the last and only hope.
The last and only hope that the Tory in governament is what?
That they wear a red tie trather than a blue tie?
Sounds just plain daft to me.

what was that?
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Here’s your reply.

You are a muppet with Hun tendancies. Laughable little character that you are.

Changing from blue tory to pink tory is not a change.
Labour are good for wrecking the economy, nothing else.
….and there’s more ….Hahahahahahahahaha

Paul Dixon is on his way from Huddersfield to complete a permanent return to Dundee United.
The 28-year-old left-back, who has three Scotland caps, left Tannadice for the Terriers in 2012. He is out of contract in the summer and could sign a two-and-a-half year contract at Tannadice.
Wee Jackie is getting a few deals done this window.

Crude oil is currently $53 a barrel.
Just sayin’.
jimmynotpaul – Sometimes I think I’m turning into Alan Partridge.
I caught myself looking at an estate car the other day and thinking “hmmm… practical!”.
I’ve also gotten into Dad jokes.
Wife: “Can you change the baby?”

I think it’s pretty obvious that I’m no fan of how the Labour Party have gone in the last twenty years.
Far too fond of a soundbite,rather than getting their finger out and doing what they should.
Lovely headline,crap policies,the headline is from tory rags,ffs.
I’ve posted the views about the current tory party out-thatchering Thatcher. Your call on who you vote.
I’ll vote for the only party which has helped me,mine and millions like me. I won’t vote for a party which only wants power for its own sake,and still canny figure out how to tell the truth or do basic arithmetic.
BMCUWP,
But labour have morphed into exactly that
bsr,
Could be.
This window is not about the treble, it is about the Euro qualifiers.
The more deals we can seal now, will be of great value in the summer.
Therefore, if the Armstrong impasse is due only to the fee, then I hope we can overcome that.
No politics Plllllllllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssseeeeeeee
I’m still gloating from yesterday :))))
The Duffy window.
Disney sound right.
Or good.
Ernie lynch….the old oil price one again! And here was me thinking that you apologised for the same remark the other day….2 ernie lynchs ,theres only 2 ernie lynchs…
Calm down its only a email.

ACE must have been the only one who read the script.
I think it was one of Monaghan’s FF’n posts.
One worthy posted a way round the Famine Song ban(?).
He proposed that they all by a packet of Walkers Crisps and at a certain auspicious time, they hold them all aloft.
Clever, eh?
You don’t get it?
Well, here goes.
Crisps. = potatoes
Potatoes. = Famine
Therefore
Crisps. = Famine
Fiendishly clever!
The oil price will go up again within a year. Wait and see.
Labour will continue to tell everyone that voting SNP lets in the Tories while the Tories are saying voting SNP lets in Labour.
Neither thing is true.
The only truth is if England’s electorate give you a Labour government you’ll get one.
If you voted no and you get the Tories again in May along side UKIP then you deserve everything bad coming to you but my guess is it won’t really affect you because you are probably not going to hit the sharp end of those cuts they want.
Socialists?
Yeah right.
I think Aberdeen have made good signings in Shinnie and Mc Lean….both good players added to a good sqaud….
Normally, at this time of the day, I’d be dead keen to know who we were chasing prior to the transfer deadline, but looking at the bench yesterday, the guys not good enough to get a start…
Matthews, Ambrose, Guidetti, Scepovic, Forrest, Henderson…
makes me wonder if we did sign anyone, where would they play and who would we bench to accomodate them…..
