Celtic Diary Saturday June 30: A Scurry Of Squirrels

There’s all sorts of nonsense flying around in the papers today.

Anyone would think that they’re trying to divert attention away from something.

Maybe the compliance officer report and its subsequent decision ?

Maybe the problems at ibrox, which we now hear include at least one of the new management team realising that the things he was told might not be true ?

Or maybe its just a desperate attempt to sell papers.

Or it could be all three.

Don’t forget, our esteemed hacks won’t go near a real story, so they have to invent one, and then publish it as an opinion, as opposed to just reporting the facts and letting readers make up their own mind.

The latest guff involves Everton preparing a ยฃ25m bid for Keiran Tierney.

They might well be doing that.

Dressed up as opinion, one or two hacks have added that they think he might be sold.

Desperate for hits, one or two sites have joined in the nonsense.

Then they all re arranged a few words from the manager to conclude that he had said it, and not them.

Effectively, the manager simply said that if a big offer comes in, there’ll be a decision to make.

This is known as stating the fucking obvious.

Tierney recently signed a six year deal, and in that deal there is a clause that guarantees him the club captaincy if Brown ever hangs up his boots. To be honest, the way Brown is playing, Tierney might need that clause in his next contract as well.

 

Leigh Griffiths apparently needs to play regular football. He did actually say that.

Then he added that when he gets the jersey he aims to keep it.

You can guess which bit made the headlines.

 

There will be more of the same over the coming days.

Most likely to distract us from the carry on at Ibrox, and the investigations at Hampden.

So, enjoy your weekend, and take no notice of this muppets in the media.

Got to go.

Be good.

Just a couple of things regarding recent threads.
The shares I bought a few years ago incur substantial dealing costs; it’s not cost effective tho’ it makes you feel better ๐Ÿ™‚ A supporters union of like-minded folk could buy far more shares collectively by pooling their efforts. I think, for example, I could’ve bought say ยฃ1000 worth for the same dealing fee and hence lowered the initial cost from about 12% to 1.2%. It something to consider.
2nd point refers to our supporters’ huge knowledge-base on the conniving shenanigans etc. of the football ‘authorities’, the Media, et al. Monti, to name one, has recently catalogued a few questions that need to be asked; point is collectively we can double-check every point and then fire penetrating shots at those we know to be ‘at it’.
As we compile a perfect data-base we will be in a very strong position if we have to crowd-fund a Judicial Review, probably using a Philadelphia lawyer as opposed to the local, er, ‘brotherhood’. Anyone see value here?

TicToc,
No matter where this all ends up, if the stolen titles & cups are not retrospectively stripped, i’m finished with the whole thing, if our club & the rest of the clubs are happy to be cheated on & off the park, losing the finance that goes with it, then fuck it all.
The game has been rigged for the benefit of one deceased club, it’s still being rigged now.

As for resolution 12, we will stand by our comrades until the last Rebel.

WE DO NOT STOP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT M8, but i tell you what, these fucking other clubs who want to ‘ move on ‘? We need to boycott them, fuck them & their apathy!

We have to use our weight of unity & crush these cunts once & for all, we should NEVER have agreed to let these cunts start again in the bottom tier!

Cheating hun bastards, long may they’re pain endure!

God bless the Pope!

Monti, thanks for your response, here. I agree with you wholeheartedly and I love your evident passion for this cause; AND IT IS A CAUSE. But are you the only other one prepared to get organised with this? If it’s because of ME trying to rally the troops, then the rest of you, FFS, grow up and see the principle involved. Just tell Ralph you’re prepared to make a stand and what you can bring to the party; we can get this right and then “party” it will be, like NEVER before. There’ll be a lot mer than jelly an’ ice-cream. ๐Ÿ™‚
BTW,I don’t like every blogger I read but I only discount stuff that I know to be crap; the writer is, to that extent, irrelevant. Crap is, er, crap. Regardless.
I know much which I have picked up over the years from bloggers as well as my own research which has been fairly deep. I think that I know enough to nail the fuckers involved, but we need the input of many, double-checked in every way possible so that no ‘cul-de-sacs’ are encountered and if that includes anyone from ‘our’ side then so be it. This is all about the PRINCIPLES and the Truth.
So hopefully, here we go…….

There will be no crying from me for Argentina!

They tried to kick their way into the next round…worst offenders were Otamendi and Mercado. I feel sorry for the skill in the side, Messi, Di Maria and Aguero, but the rest were poor excuses for footballers.

France have lots of talent all over the park.

I find that interesting if you dont then ignore, i.e take your own advice and fuck off.

Fred, your last few posts are a total embarrassment. Really, remember the Falklands? Don’t you mean las malvinas. A minor war that was predicated on the Tories desperation to stay in power.
Despite Maradona’s well documented human frailties he is, in my opinion, the greatest player to grace the World stage. The guy is indisputably a footballing genius and to cheaply denigrate him is a disgrace.
Stick to making nonsensical football comments my friend and leave the the political output to the grown ups.

“remember bannockburn”

I seem to rememeber that on a few flags from a wee shitehole of a country. Good idea so I adopted it. Good to know everyone think that was a disgracefull banner but I Dont rememeber the John Highes of the world complaining at the time.

Maradonna is a fucking disgrace and after his cheating goal against England never even had the decency to apologise. Sport ? dont think so.

cheaply denegrate? for fuck sake take a look at this “FIFA ambassador”. 10 grand a game, take your head out of your arsehole/ Its a fucking scandal this guy is anywhere near a football match and his display the other evening was fucking way over the line.

He was also wired to fuck when he won the WC for argentina the las time, his eyes were popping out his fucking head.

Celtic beaten 1-0.Brendan states players were TIRED after a hard week “training” and double session the day before? He used two teams? Next up,a closed door game on Tues then Sparta.That’ll freshen them up! Brendan,please listen to advice given from some around you and change your training system leading to less injuries,tiredness etc.Contacts confirm that several players are deeply unhappy with the situation but can’t speak out because BR is a grudge holder….

Edson Arantes do Nascimento/Pele!
Why? On dark November afternoons, knee deep in mud, hail and rain, this man would pick the ball up from the back, race fifty yards or more and score you the goal that wins 1-0, anytime, any place. Power, pace and alwsys knowing where the net is.
I think Pele was the greatest football player of all time. I could also imagine him being able to play any position on the pitch and maybe even in goals.
The perfect physique for the beautiful game.

Devoy45

alwsys=always!
I just discovered that Pele was only 5’8 tall which means I am two inches taller than him! Christ, he always looked much taller than that. I would have thought 6’1 or 6’2. I never got to see Pele play, only on TV. The beautiful game is the last game where a short (ish) man can excel.

Good to see Everton showing a sense of humour with a reported ‘ imminent bid ‘ of ยฃ25m for Kieran Tierney.

I would respectfully tell them to fuck off with that bid, if we were ever to sell KT we should not sell for a penny under ยฃ45m + add ons.

In my opinion KT is the best left back in Britain…that comes with a massive transfer fee for potential buyers.
