Celtic Diary Tuesday October 2: We All Stand Together

For whatever reason, the campaign to divide and conquer Celtic and the support continues unabated in the media.

After the unwarranted attention paid to a work of fiction , one that movie companies are already in negotiation to secure the film rights, it seems that the one thing the establishment fears is a united Celtic, all pulling in the same direction.

So, we know what to do, right ?

If you’re not up for it, I’ll do it myself.

There’s a big game coming up, the trip to Salzburg on Thursday, where the hoops will face their most difficult European tie so far this season.

So there’s little doubt the press will try to interfere with preparations.

Thankfully, the Record and its ilk are not big sellers in Austria. Therefore, the players will be largely unaffected, but while they are away, and Brendan likes to impose a sort of media blackout ahead of these ties, the press can pontificate away to their little hearts content.

And their friends, of course. Like Alex “Lend me a tenner ” MacLeish, who has told reporters that Leigh Griffiths has been ignoring his calls.

I’m surprised Leigh hasn’t changed his number, or left a voicemail along the lines of “I’m not available, but you can ring your pal at Hearts ”

MacLeish knows what he is doing, All of the Celtic lads want to play for Scotland, and he is using that to annoy and distract them. He said, of Griffiths;

I think that you’ve always got to prove yourself,”

Fortunately for him, that rule doesn’t apply to Scotland managers any more.

Don’t worry, though. He’ll be gone as soon as he knows what his tax bill is going to be, and another idiot who has been plying his trade with little success down south  will take over.

Davie Moyes has admitted he was approached by Celtic prior to Brendan Rodgers accepting the role.

Alright, he’s admitted it again. He’s always harping on about it, come to think about it, and in an interview with Simon Ferry, he admitted he might consider either Celtic or “rangers” , if he cant get another job.

Which he won’t. Until MacLeish sorts out his bills.

“It’s my home and I’d like to come back and do it sometime, but while the Premier League’s so strong, that would probably still remain my interest.” 

Bringing him back onto the back pages is another attempt to make Celtic fans think that Moyes has a realistic chance of becoming manager, which frightens the life out of us.

He hasn’t, and thats because he’s no bloody good.

Hayley McQueen , the eye candy to offset Sky Scotlands uggies Kris Boyd and Kris Commons, has been hurt by criticism of the post Livingston -“rangers ” discussion on Celtic’s problems.

McQueen went on the defensive, via Twitter

A decision to discuss Celtic today was an editorial decision not mine personally. End of. 

Commons and Boyd have said nothing, as they are waiting to be told what to say by their puppetmasters.

Although they will be delighted with the fuss they’ve kicked up, so whilst on the one hand I’m talking about it, on the other its just to remind you to cancel your subscription, and tell them why.

I was considering taking a subscription out, just so I could cancel it again.

Of course, this pre prepared discussion not only deflected from the piss poor result and performance by “rangers “, who would surely have been on the phone to Graeme Murty by now had it been Celtic who were setting the pace at the top of the league, and not Hearts.

It deflected from the assault on the linesman, which the police admit they are treating as , er, assault.

CROSSED THE LINE

Rangers ‘coin’ yob: Police treat incident as assault after linesman was hit by missile during Livingston clash

Police Scotland are appealing for information after assistant ref Calum Spence was left with a bloodied wound

They could always look at the video circulating online that shows him doing it.

At least they mentioned “rangers ” in the context of the offender…

STV just couldn’t bring themselves to do it…

Police appeal after linesman hit with coin at Rangers game

Calum Spence was injured after being hit by the object during the Livingston v Rangers clash.

Though he came close, admitting it came from where there were some “rangers ” fans, but the leap of logic as to which team he supported was just beyond reporter Andy MacLaren

Police are appealing for pictures after a coin was thrown at an assistant referee.

Calum Spence was injured after being hit by the object during the Livingston v Rangers clash on Sunday.

A police investigation has been launched and officers have described the incident as “shocking”.

 

Mr Spence suffered a head injury when he was hit by the coin from the East Stand housing the travelling Rangers support. 

Raman Bhardwij, STV’s man on the spot, was even less forthright, but as we don;t get STV in england, i can;t claim to have seen it, but someone did..

The object appears to have came from the away section of fans Just say Rangers..its easier 

Not for them it isn’t, not when someone is watching…

Image result for james traynor

Anyway, Raman Bhardwaj has a scoop, and its a story which is a mere thirty years old…

Interviewed former Rangers player Mark Walters. He speaks openly about the racist abuse he received, which included hate mail from someone claiming to be from the Klu Klux Klan 

The Klu Klux Klan presumably some offshoot of the notorious Ku Klux Klan.

This refers to the shameful incident at Celtic Park when the English winger was bombarded with bananas from the Celtic crowd.

 It was disgraceful, and those of us around at the time are abhorred by our own behaviour and by the behaviour of our fellow supporters.

We haven’t tried to offer any reason for it, other than our own pathetic prejudices. Thats because there aren’t any.

But there’s a book to be sold, and a market to be tapped.

Image result for mark walters book

Even if most of that market will struggle to turn the pages due to a lack of opposable thumbs.

These days, anyone at Celtic Park engaging in racism will be summarily dealt with.

However, its still a problem elsewhere, and I’m certain that Raman will be offering the same sort of publicity to Scott Sinclair, and how he dealt with racist abuse at Ibrox.

 In a later interview, he’ll also discuss with Neil Lennon the perils of opening your own fucking mail.

But we’re used to it by now.

That doesn’t mean we should accept it, and the only way to register our displeasure is not to watch their programmes, not to listen to their phone ins, and not to buy their newspapers.

The internet has helped to remove a fair chunk of their income, and we must continue to starve them of that oxygen.

As for the club banning them, that would be a mistake, in my eyes.

I’d like each and every one of them to attend each and every game between now and that moment when a tenth successive title trophy is held aloft.

Thats how we can really hurt them.

So, lets get behind the players, behind the manager and above all behind the club.

Sure, they sometimes get it wrong, and sometimes they perhaps don’t put in the amount of heart and soul that perhaps we think they should.

 But we are too close to history being made to let anyone stand in our way.

And together, we’re too strong for them to stop us.

Now, whats Neil Doncaster been up to ?

SPFL agree lucrative deal with beIN Sports to broadcast across the globe

Neil Doncaster is expected to announce the deal over the next 24 hours. (Daily Record )

Lucrative ? How lucrative ?

The cash value of the contract is unknown but the deal will secure live streams from SPFL matches are beamed into Australia, New Zealand and another 24 countries across the Middle East and North Africa.

Oh. Like everything else that man does, its a secret.

Hampden source said: “The actual numbers involved are being kept under wraps at this stage but we expect a two year deal with beIN will be announced soon.” 

But it’s lucrative, right ?

There’s a story about a “rangers ” fan sexually assaulting an air stewardess…

Whilst I’m not making light if the seriousness of the assault, Souness ? His first name is Souness ?

His brothers Struth, Jardine and Greig were unavailable for comment.

So was his sister, Waddell. Though that may have been what she was doing, and not actually her name.

Yesterday, we offered up this for comment and analysis..which was actually Keiran Tierney asking Craig Gordon for a loan of his towel as the defender hadn’t realised how cold it was before he gave away his shirt.

Echoing the thoughts of the ladies, and probably most of the men on here…

Caption: due to the lack of attendees at last year’s Tory conference, they have decided on new slogans, such as “fuck the pope’, and a new party anthem, entitled “the billy boys”. At the end of the conference, instead of holding hands and singing Auld Lang Syne, there will be a ceremonial spitting at a priest. Trials of the new format are planned for their party conference in Glasgow, and representatives of the DUP have been cordially invited.

Well said Ralph, echoing my own thoughts because The Fat Controller is burning the midnight oil, burning up his fatty calories, fighting fires to keep his company at Level 5, all hope of moving up a level to 666 is dashed. After the cluster fuck at Livingston, where the Gerrard bounce has finally run out of steam. Stabbings, riots, coins being thrown at assistant referees, the coin thrower was actually aiming to hit Lafferty, but like Morelos he couldn’t hit a barn door from 6 feet. Deflection is the game, spin, media garbage, distortion, but we are all wise to that, it only unites us all the more.

The TV director is saying into his mic: By the time the pictures goes out on the 6 O’clock news, the stalls will look as packed as the Hampden terraces during the 1937 cup final. So for the last time Laura the line is, “The Tory conference was packed to the rafters to hear how they have been tackling injustices by taking the opportunities to build more 5 and 6 bedroom mansion houses for the wealthy.”

Plenty of PUFF coming from Maxwell at the SFA, plenty of sound bites coming from the refs. committee, but no word of any punishment or fine, like when Celtic were fined a staggering £48 thousand pounds for the coining of the bigot Dallas. Oh yeah, the one rule for one club springs to mind. A new rule will come out very soon on new safety wear for referees and there assistants, hard hats, safety glasses and riot gear, as they run the line shouting “Red card Red Card Red card” or Beatons favourite against Celtic “Foul Foul Foul”
All for one and one for all, the masonic brothers greetings call.

Am I the only one who feels that, that energetic lassie bouncing up and down constantly is somewhat EROTIC. on the Dales Diary in September? I feel like joining her, but just watching her seems….

The PUFF coming out of the SFA about Sundays assault on the linesman is all very well, but still no word of any punishment, remembering the bigot Dallas getting coined and Celtic being fined a staggering £48 thousand pounds. “Slap don’t do it again” as the refs. are issued with hard hats, safety glasses and stink detectors at all Hun games. “Red card Red card Red card” shouts the prick running the line, struggling to stagger along, or “Foul Foul Foul” shouts Beaton as his dentures slip out among the froth.

Rompers Room FFS. Are you from the good auld USA? Rompers is what your baby brother wore above his nappy, no sash though. My favourite program was Captain Marvel and his real name was Cesar, he led from the front and had the heart of a Lion, he could launch himself high in the air and take out Harry the Hun with one fell swoop. Mind you It was only a few years after the war when I grew up in the Raploch and nobody ad a telly. No fatties then, getting a penny carmel was the highlight of my week. EEEH By Guhm LAHD the stories I could tell. 😉

Sadly Ralph somectrawl Celtic web sites to sow dissent and apart form the odd gormless fool hating individual Celtic players most of us have the Club’s long term interest at heart and our criticism is mature and constructive, half wit apart, that’s two mentions he got, there is always the danger of being quoted out of context. This won’t be quoted but I am delighted we won our first Europa League game, delighted to be through in the Betfred cup and we beat Aberdeen. I was talking to a guy I know slightly about football , he supports Hearts and I said “ Who have you got at the weekend?“ He said: “ Sevco.” it’s getting through.
