Celtic Diary Saturday April 13: Cool Heads Required
After my punishing work schedule, the diary returns ( punishing work schedule, you’ll never get anyone to believe that-Ed) for more fun, frolics and frivolity.
It’s cup weekend, and Celtic have another one of those season defining games tomorrow with a short trip to Hampden to face Aberdeen, where it will be established if there’s still a chance of a third consecutive treble.
Neil Lennon will be in charge for the game, regardless of what you may want or read in the papers, and he has the full backing of the players.
If only he could count on the full backing of the support.
A lot of the grumbles, eagerly fed by the media, surround his record at Hampden in the first years of the decade. Defeats to Ross County, St Mirren , Hearts and Kilmarnock have led some to proclaim the Irishman has a Hampden hoodoo, despite winning a couple of cups there.
He moved to dismiss our fears..
“A lot’s been made of that this week but I can’t get those games back and in a few of them we should have won but we didn’t.
“Call it Lady Luck or a curse or whatever, I’m not into that superstitious stuff.
“Sometimes, it’s just what happens on the day. I don’t think we played badly in any of the games at all and I won two out of four cups.
“It’s all right, but compared to Brendan, it’s not, because you have to be perfect to match that record.
“I look back on some of the games we lost, you think, ‘is it a psychological thing?’
“But whatever I missed Brendan obviously remedied with this squad of players.
“I might be giving him a call tonight or tomorrow just to get a bit of advice from him…”
Yeah, and ask him why we’ve got a squad of about three hundred and a bloated wage bill while you’re at it.
What is important is that whatever happened at Hamoden nearly ten years ago is irrelevant now. These players have won a few trophies there recently, and are well used to the place.
That hasn’t stopped an outbreak of the collywobbles though, and a lot of it is backed up by recent match statistics which imply that Lennon is not up to the job of managing the side, although the statistics seem to reflect a tired team that is being urged to go that final mile during the business end of the season.
Less goals scored , fewer convincing performances and so on point more to fatigue than a lack of management, although he has amde an arse of a couple of things of late, notably the Rogic appearance against “rangers “.
Reminscent of Ambrose versus Juventus, Lennon fielded a player who clearly wasn’t fit, which allowed the Ibrox side to feel they might get something from the game, and gave us all the collywobbles for about half an hour or so.
The man has a dilemma. does he change things around to allow a freshness back into the side, or does he stick with the regulars and try to coax one more big result out of them.
Whatever he does, if it goes wrong, he’ll be vilified.
Even if it goes right, he’ll be told that he could have done it with more style. In fact, pre-Lennon, Rodgers was sending us all to sleep with his turgid efforts as well, and its too late to teach the players something new.
And far too risky.
The same goes for any new manager next season.
With ten in a row now just a couple of seasons away, does the board want to risk a new face ?
Especially given the curious nature of the Scottish media and the SFA.
The new man, should he be Benitez-has met Desmond, Villas Boas-has met Desmond, or even Gordon Strachan, who has met Desmond, but presumably only for advice,
Then again, if meeting Desmond suggests that someone is on a short list for the hot seat, we could really be in trouble..
The board, conservative in politics and outlook, are unlikely to risk upheaval at this crucial point in history.
Despite names such as Mourinho and moyes being mentioned, Lennon is their preferred option, simply as a safe pair of hands, but they will give him a few quid to spend in the summer, and a few players will move on.
It appears will be allowed to reshape the team rather than rebuild it, with a couple of defenders and a striker a priority.
The system used on the pitch just now is getting results, but other sides have countered it and a new approach is required, but one the players can handle.
One that they have confidence in.
The speculation will continue, the supporters will continue to moan, but Lennon can handle that.
Ask yourself if you think a new manager would, especially if he happened to draw 0-0 with Livingston…
Elsewhere, and the drive to make Peter Lawwell and his yes-men take notice of shareholders concerns about lost income continues.
Resolution 12 now has a website, which I’m sure you’ve all read…come on, you’ve had all week, and now that all the evidence is out there, its time to take back the smoking gun from wherever Peter hid it and use it ourselves.
We can start with pressure from certain supporters groups..the Affiliation, for instance, has already declared its intentions..
Our members support the Res12 guys and we have asked the club on numerous occasions to act in the best interests of the fans.
The Celtic Supporters Association may be included alongside that, but one wonders if its possible for them to clarify their stance.
The Celtic Trust are usually up for a battle, and again getting them onside is important.
All the information they need, all the evidence of wrongdoing required to ask questions of Lawwell is in here..
They then can make an informed decision on whether or not to help hit Peter with his smoking gun that took so much work to find.
The supporters and the shareholders have been led a merry dance, and the club, our club, has been neglected by those in charge who are paid a handsome sum to look after its interests.
Because something is bugging me, as a wise man put it..
There is an alternative view that if it is company fraud then its a City of London Police job.
Of course the possibility exists that no fraud took place at all , that RFC complied with Article 50 in March 2011 and Articles 66 and 67 in June and September which is what Res12 was trying to establish, but had that been the case it surely would have been presented by now?
Indeed, the old “if you’ve nothing to hide “argument is applicable here. So one can only assume that there is something to hide. ( Acutally, we’re convinced there is, see the evidence on the site, and you’d think someone would have pointed out we were all wrong by now if that was the case.. )
The 200% web site sets out a succinct case why Res12 matters, which in turn makes a strong case for SFA reform if the SFA are prepared not to investigate possible criminality.
Not a position their Compliance officers would want to be in surely?
The SFA might wish to use the Judicial Panel Protocol to hide the truth but enough of it is out there to suggest a crime took place. Of course if the victims are ok with that then its over and the SFA will remain untrusted, but at least we know our game is corrupt from top to toe, as opposed to thinking it is.
As for the Celtic Trust and the CSA, are they considering the implications if the Board continue with current passive policy when it appears Celtic have been victims of fraud ?
Former Celtic manager Benny Ratters was the subject of an article I happened to stumble on the other day.
Have a look, see if you can spot a pattern..
Speaking of patterns, he was burbling on about how he was going to build Leicester in the memory of the former owner who died in a helicopter crash, which drew comparisons with his Tommy Burns dedications during his early time with Celtic.
Time to lighten things up a wee bit…
Julian Assange, the Wikileaks man who released footage of US war crimes has finally been dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy and joins an ever lengthening list of journalists who are being arrested for their work.
He was then forced to appear in front of a Judge, and faced further humiliation when the police gave him a change of clothes..
We need a strong and free media. Look at what happens when it’s gone, the SMSM , for instnace, are reduced to a mere PR outlet, and we only get to hear about what they want us to hear about.
It’s much more serious, of course, when governments are involved, and when one of those governments is run by right wing religious extremists then we’re all in trouble. As in the USA, where the Talibangelistics hold sway..
Sometimes what they say can slip into common usage almost unnoticed, and its important to call them out when they spout their nonsense.
By the way, as you may have noticed, my work pattern has changed, and I’m considering another career move.
Rangers fans offered chance to work at Ibrox with hospitality jobs including Suite Supervisor
Argyle House, the stadium’s official restaurant, is on the hunt for staff to join their team
Hospitality ? At Ibrox ?
Thats my ghast all flabbered again.
Oban on Twitter was game for a laugh and popped down to the ground for an application form. popped down for an interview, but was dismayed by the size of the queue..
@Scotlandclare on Twitter held a wee poll the other day, in response to Irishman tom english from the Scotsman who himself held a poll which revealed that 76% of those who responded didn’t want Neil Lennon to get the Celtic job on a full time basis.
Her poll turned out to be surprisingly closer than I thought it would be…
Would be interested to hear Celtic fans view on this…Should Tom English get to fuck?
93% Yes
7% No.
I think Tom should take note, and duly get to fuck, as its what the people clearly want.
Although he did help the people at one time…
Impartial and investigative journalism at its best.
I’ve emailed the US government to tell them he’s got pictures of Ivanka Trump in the bath.
Which reminds me-don’t ask me how…
Which in turn reminds me..
Finally as of today #upskirting is an offence
Those prosecuted will face: 
Two years in prison 
Being placed on the sex offenders register I’m delighted to have played my part in the campaign by @ginamartin_uk and @ryantwhelan to ban this degrading practice.
Ross is of course the MP accused of not upskirting, but down trousering in a House of Commons bar.
Or, as Derek McInnes would tell him, making the mistake of judging a man by his semi.
Todays we bring back the caption competition, amd with a a promise that the Diary isn’t ready to retire just yet.
Heres one to ponder
Practising for his upcoming appearance on Stars In Their Eyes, Neil Lennon tries out his Peter Crouch robot dance moves at Lennoxtown.
Caption, Neil relives his days appearing in Riverdance.
As for Ross’s claim about up skirting, it’s crap.mits been illegal since 2010 here and he has nothing to do with it. Whose trousers is he going to try and get into now?

So KT at Right Back and Lustig at Left Back?
Canny see the logic in that myself.
when did logic ever matter a fuck on here mate?
You do make a valid point Maryhillbhoy 🙂
That’s some real ‘Out Of Her Box Thinking’ , Una doll, but why don’t you try Eddie in goal and big Bain up front?
You seem like an awfy wan for tinkering in things ye know nothing about …
And what worries me is that so much of the Celtic blogosphere seems very happy indeed to shine a big bright light into the shady Ibrox boardroom but then go into apoplexy when any of us have the sense to suggest that maybe that same bright light should be turned into our own boardroom, where the financial shenanigans outstrip the KingCo show by around 80 million per annum.
Why do you think so many in the Celtic sphere don’t want to know where all the money’s REALLY going, Mike?
What interests could they be protecting if they truly love our club, The Famous Glasgow Celtic, and don’t want to see our costs increase by 33.3% year on year ..?
So u on here cannae see the logic myself.
I take it u haven’t played football before, some players actually enjoy playing on opposite sides to how their footed, baw bag
Aye, so let’s just switch them around for a wee change, Lenny!
They like it really!

Welcome back, the diary was sorely missed, mass suicides, sheep slaughtering and a huge increase in Valium prescriptions. And also thank him for his invincible season, two trebles and the opportunity to win a never done before third treble, plus the reported £9.00 mill. in compensation, the Dembelle £20.00 mill. and all the rest of the cash injection, that came with his tenure. Peter will be very pleased.
The moral dilemma, do you continue to support the team, knowing that those who run the club will do nothing to right the wrong of corrupt governance, of course you do because the players, the team and its management are innocent of any wrongs done by others. But the fight for Res.12 must go on, if only to get an open and an honest game. If we don’t then what happened before, will happen again, in fact we see the very same traits across the water happening now. A convicted criminal, who shields the truth away from prying eyes and we all know the reasons as to why he is doing that. So good luck to Lenny and his team and GIRUT, they hate our success, hate it. COYBIG.
Welll said, Mike, we ALL support Lenny whether he’s our manager or not and don’t need other folk telling us to do so, for we are Celtic supporters, not sheep to be led into the folks’ mindsets.
And wha5 worries me most is that ALL of the Celtic blogosphere seems very (apps indeed to shine a big bright light into the Ibrox boardroom but then go into apoplexy when any of us have the sense to suggest that maybe that same bright light should be turned into our own boardroom, where the financial shenanigans outstrip the KingCo show by around 80 million per annum.

Hail Hail Celtic FC Global Academy Camps.
G`day Buzz Bomb
They will not let us do our own thing and you know who “they” are.
The Club want a good day`s outing around Celtic Park for all to enjoy but they want to control the level of our enjoyment.
There`s money there to be invested but they want each and all from all ages at Celtic FC to dutifully tuck our shirts in.
Enjoy.
Yeah, they’re money mad psychopathic narcissistic control freaks, Port.
Take away the money though and you’ll see there’s nothing left of them.
If we want our club back we don’t throw it to the vultures.
I think that the Celtic support, “God bless each and everyone of them” are sick to their back teeth of being treated like second class citizens. Some are filled with disgust at how their clergy are being spat apon, told an endless diatribe of lies by the so called Scottish press. Sick of those who have abused them for centuries, sick of being cheated by those in power of Scottish football, treated like livestock by those in blue uniforms. Rightfully their kind and generous hearts are filled with pride in their club and to GIRU Those scum that have lorded over us for years. They rely on people like Auldheid and Ralph, to highlight the injustices and to keep them informed. They are the watchmen who have their backs.
But why do you think we can’t quaetion what the board are doing with all the money, Mike?
And ‘our clergy’, Mike..?
We’re a club open to all, man.
This ‘our’ business and Head In The Sand crap when it comes to where all our turnover is going year on year is redolent of the Murray years to me, man.
And I’ve been one of the ‘watchmen’ since the day I was born, or at least the day I realised that the refs were anti. Elric and we’re allowed to ge5 away with it.
And I’ve neve4 relied nor needed anyone else to do the job that my own eyes & senses have never yet failed me in.
*Anti Celtic
The refs are anti Celtic.
Always have been and still are.
Never wonder how they get away with it, even after Paul Larkin’s exposé that some of us had already known for years?
Why the Celtic boards put up without complaint?
How the media, BBC included, get away every piece of anti Celtic and anti Irish rubbish they’re alllowed to ge5 awa6 with every day?
Why they’re STILL allowed to walk into Celtic Park unchallenged after all these decades mocking us and denigrating us?
Does no one ever wonder about these things for themselves instead of relying on other folk to do it for them?
Oh, we CAN, SHOULD, MUST, question the board, absolutely must try to find out what they do with the business side of our club. Why do they not question the BBC. press, et al ? why do they put up with that? I have absolutely no idea, but I could hazard a guess and that would be that nothing must interfere with the income, the money-ball of income stream. I also said “SOME are filled with disgust at their clergy being spat upon, some, not all.
We try, yes, but we never succeed, for all their soldiers prevent it.
And you did say ‘Some’, that’s fair enough, but I haven’t seen anyone ask what the Celtic board do with those massive sums of m9ney year in year out, 87 million last year, 76 million the year before that.
In fact, I can’t rhink of ONE person, not one individual and not one blogger, who has ever raised this question anywhere, can you?
I think the biggest problem is many still view it simply as a Club.
It has long since lost ant semblance of a Football Club.
This is purely a business to the men in sharp suits.
A global money maker with a wide and varied customer base.
The Football Team is the product to them but of course not the only product just the main money making aspect of a multi layered business.
It’s that Romantic notion that some still cling onto that they prey on the most.
That strong pull that Celtic Fc has on each and every one of us in varying levels.
They manipulate and massage that feeling in order to get the most out of it they can.
Minimum outlay for maximum profit.
Some are just happy to watch a victorious Celtic winning things and as long as we aren’t in any financial trouble that’s all that matters.
If they had 60,000 of these type guaranteed they would be the happiest men in football.
The lights,the upgrades are all part of it.
Jingle jangle look at the shiny,shiny whilst we help ourselves to the trough if you don’t mind?
Even if you do we will anyway,
Been saying it for long enough now unless the Support takes control it will Forever be more of the same.
So what’s the point in moaning about it if you have no urge or drive to change it?
Having a well run Club that is an actual Club and not a Corporate Business dressed as one really would be something to shout about.
I fear that ship has sailed now.
I still harbour a bit of Hope one day it will change.
Until then my money stays put.

Missed your comment dis week Ralphue, grt to see back.
Not overly worried about the semi, should be 2_0
Tellin ye Bhoys of we win the Treble I’ll River Dance across the Clyde and dae a big jobby on the marble staircase.
Neil Lennon brought on Tom Rogic (just back from injury) against 2angers in the hope his knack for changing games would turn the tide back again in the 2nd half.
Tom was poor on the day and as a result we lost the upperhand in Midfield for 25 minutes.
We won the game regardless.
Brendan Rodgers on the other hand fielded an unfit Emilio Izaguirre against Valencia and more or less fucked the chance of a last 16 berth in the Europa League.
In the game at Ibrox in December he fielded Callum McGregor at Left Back had an unfit Kieran Tierney on the bench and left the back up left Hayes on the bench even though he was 100% match fit.
Resulting in our Midfield getting overrun and us getting gubbed on the day 1-0 (5-1 might have been a better reflection).
Can we say more accurate, better never seems appropriate for a huns win☹️
Absolutely Maryhill.
It would have been a more accurate reflection of the game.
Watched the hearts game big black guy iky something is a handful. Massive body almost unplayable should be a heavyweight boxer. Can only see benkovic being man enough to handle him. They’re not great but they are our bogey team they’ve had more success against us than any other team. It’s their dynamic it’s brutal and uncomplicated but effective. I’m sure if we play keep ball against them we will win easily. Aberdeen? A bit the same but we have their measure. Looking forward to both games
How incredibly insighful of you, Ian …
Is this a continuation of your ‘untreatable narcissists’ narrative ..?
Buzz it sounds like you’re looking for answers, and attention. Sign of a narc, needling everyone who wants to talk about the game ahead or anything else football related. Is it your wish to be a fuckwit? I’m not bothered there’s always someone on here antagonising another for no apparent reason apart from the enjoyment of bullying someone. Narc sign number 2 . What’s the point? Narcissistic supply? Are you hurt by a Monti comment that was made years ago that spiralled your life to a hopeless nadir? Is he that significant to you? I come in here for a laugh and to read the banter and enjoy some of the company in here , that’s the extent of it. Malignant narcissism is untreatable. Look it up. Research Sam vaknin
Well, that depends who’s dishing out the treatment, mate.
If you saw our local narcissist you would see that it’s very treatable indeed.
PS, see my response to your continued stupidity in the latest article.
There’s even a conflation with Ralph and the Diary but at least he gets the joke.
😉
Nurse ^
Tomorrow, Monti.
She’ll see you tomorrow.
Welcome back Ralph. Have to disagree with you re Assange. Yes he was entirely right to expose the evils of the American war machine in Iraq and Afghanistan. Lost any ounce of respect for him when he clearly helped influence the victory for Trump by publishing lots of shit on Hillary Clinton but somehow couldn’t find anything on that piece of shit in the White House. Every day America continues daily to commit atrocities in Yemen and Syria to name just two but somehow he can’t find any evidence about that.
He’s a shill, mate, he didn’t do any of that you mentioned, that’s just pish they make up to give him ‘legitimacy’ in the press but the truth is he’s working for The Man, just like everybody else you see on your screens.
And if you don’t know it I’d advise you to watch out as there’s a lot of it about …
Btw, ever heard of Pizzagate?
And the fact Assange ‘couldn’t find anything on Trump’ (sic) proves my point exactly.
For the truth about Trump is all over the internet, just another shill puppet being bent over and twisted by the same folk who pull the strings of Assange.
I can open the internet and find hundreds of hours of shit on Trump, I don’t need no fuckin muppet kidding on he’s ‘hiding’ from the cops in the middle of fuckin London to do that for me.
If Assange was legit they’d have kicked those sores in the minute he walked in them and t9 think otherwise is delusional.
It’s all theatre, mate, all pish and lies to keep yer eyes from what really happening, this is all the media is, the propaganda arm of those who have ran and ruled society for the past few centuries and for anyone to believe a word of it proves just how effective it has been in the interim.

Who`ld believe a Bloody Aussie?
It never matters when those in charge are painting a masterpiece to be flogged to the highest private bidder.

You think if you or I did something as serious as this guy’s meant o have done that the Ecuadorian Embass6 would let us in to stay there for years on end?
Not a fucking hope, man, and we both know it, the Met would have those doors kicked in before you’d even got up the stair.
So for folk like JJ to jump up on their high horse defending a deep State shill just shows how ignorant they are themselves.
Jj xlaims to be ‘interested only in truth’ yet I’ve given him loads of leads down the years and he hasn’t looked into one of them.
Even today he refused one of his readers’ smart leads, disposing of it with his usual self righteousness and proudly declaring that he’s only interested in money rather than factual information.
And I’ve certainl6 never seen JJ ask the question of the Celtic board about where all the money’s going and why such a fiscally prudent allows their annual operating expenses to rise to 87% of their unquestioned by anyone, have you?
*Why such a fiscally prudent PLC allows their annual operating expenses to rise to a massive 87% of their annual turnover unquestioned by anyone, …
Good to see you back, Ralph!
On the subject of Assange, do you know the meaning of the phrase ‘Controlled Opposition’?
It’s where those in control of the narrative use someone who seems ‘radical’ to tell us what they’re doing, as they’re obliged to do, by using a stooge or two to get the message across, all the while keeping this stooge’s actual purpose in the hoax secret.
A bit like they did in the ‘Republic of Ireland’ (sic) for these past 98 years, as Phil so kindly told us this week in his ‘Good Friday Agreement’ article.
(Check it out if you haven’t seen it; he loudly declares that, by the Brit’s refusal to sign the Withdrawal Agreement, ‘the Republic’ (sic) NEVER ESCAPED BRITISH RULE AT ALL, that Lizzie and her deep State still own all Ireland have done since the Rising.)
So my point is that this deep State of hers has proven with this fact abou5 Ireland that they can stage any narrative they like and have people fighting and killing over it for a century or more when the fact is NITHUNG CHANGED in the interim.
Now I’ve known for a lom* time that everything we see in the media is a lie, way before even the internet showed up and proved it, because I was lucky enough to be raised among a series of wise men and women who’d survived two wars and still had the wits about them to make sure that we, their children and their children’s children, were full6 informed of the dark forbidding truth at the heart of it, that is, that they’ve lied to us about everything since the beginning of the time since thye took control of the narrative.
So, given this information and my dissecting of it since I was a kid, I’ve learned tha5 folk like Julian Assange and his Monti-like gender fluid pal Manning Up Are likewise part of the charade of the deep State to show us all, journalists and revolutionaries alike, just wha5 might happen to us if we dare stick our heads above the parapet and begin to tell people the dark fetid truth behind the charade.
Amd if they can convince everybody that they ‘left’ Ireland and America and everywhere else their Empire remains in, then having a couple of clowns act like patsies for the campers would be easier than child’s play, don’t you think?
For only the simple minded would eve4 fall for it.
As I said to Red the other day, it’s all theatre, all of it, even pretending that Ireland was free.
The more concerning thing is, why are the6 letting the truth behind it out now?
It’s almost as if they don’t care that we know it and that usually means that there’s something unpleasant just over the next hill.
For information is power and they have no power if they give it all away.
So who knows what they’re about to do next but, given the history, I don’t expect it to be anything pleasant.
All the best, Ralph.

Oh dear – right off the deep end. I hope you get your medication sorted out mate whatever you’re on now isn’t working

I’m so tired of the conspiracy theory nonsense – please give it up or tell us the inside information you have in specifics!
What inside information did I promise you, pal?
Besides, aren’t you capable of reading wha I wrote above?
Don’t you think the Julian Assange hoax narrative is child’s play compared to this ’Free State Irish Republic’ hoax they’ve been feeding us for the past 98 years?
Don’t believe me?
Got to Phil’s page from Tuesda6 and you’ll see he not only admits it but pretends to have been fight8ng to get the Withdrawal Agreement signed for years, when the truth is that I told him it a few years back and he’s got only round to checking it now.
And Red, why won’t you discuss this with us further instead of pretending that it hasn’t happened?
I know why but I invite you to tell the readers why.
So you have the floor, o respected wise one, (sic)
Here’s the key lines, Broxi:
‘‘Mick knew that Britain would only leave Ireland if we made it hell on earth for the Crown Forces and publicised their atrocities on the world stage.
It remains an unfinished revolution.
Indeed, for all my adult life I, with many others on this island, have been trying to get the Brits to sign off on the final phase of Ireland’s Withdrawal Agreement from the UK!’
– Phil MacGiollabháin, ‘The Good Friday Agreement at 21’, 9th April 2019
And we can argue with theories all we like but you can’t argue with facts, Broxi.
And the fact is that Britain still owns Ireland having never really left.
So you can either go and read Phil’s admission for yourself on his page or conrinue to stick yer head up yer own arse and pretend it’s all a ‘theory’, your self imposed ignorance makes no difference to me either way.
But it’s YOU that remains the idiot should you choose the latter and stay stuck in your own self imposed stupidity.
You know SIC means spelling is correct right?
No, dummy, you’re completely wrong, it doesn’t mean that at all …
It means that the information contained in the prior sentence is known by the current author to be incorrect.
It is the acknowledgment of an error for the benefit of the readers.
Any other indicators of your ignorant stupidity you’d care to share with us?
Buzz Bomb, I’ve got to say that I don’t agree with some/a lot of what you write, but the above comment was a balanced, intelligent put-down of an oft arrogant man. Well said.
BTW, as I’ve stated often, I seek neither ‘friends’ nor ‘enemies’ on here, I wont join any ‘club’; but by fuck, if enemies I sought, I’d have a field day. End of day we’re all Tims (barring Zombie lurkers of course) and I see the value on excersising mutual respect. I’ve let myself down on here at times and I understand that. But I’m no fucking sacrificial lamb, not now, not ever.
If everyone takes ownership of their own shit we can discard all the nonsense and focus on the job. The job of supporting our team and management and vociferously (and with myriad other actions) bringing down the tory scum whom sit in our Boardroom, and any scum billionaire, fucking parasites to a man, who happens by.
Hail! Hail! The Glasgow Celtic FC
Fuck the PLC and all whom sails in it.
COYBIG
Well said, TicToc, I’d kick all those parasite Tory scum out of our club myself, they’re the same stock as Murray’s men, liars & vultures & thieves, and it makes me sick the way the Celtic support on the blogs talks about them as though they’re ‘on our side’ (sic) …
The Celtic support has been hoodwinked by those filth for too long, Lawwell swans around like he’s the king of Scotland and our support lap it up, thinking because he’s in charge of Celtic he must be ‘one of us’ when the fact is, bourgeois cunts like him and hisilk will NEVER be one of us, not if they draped themselves in a lifetime’s worth of Celtic scarves.
Silver spoon raised lackeys and handshakers one & all, their only interest is scratching each other’s back passages.
Tories out & fuck the PLC.
We did it with Thatcher so we can do it with this shower of filth.
AND we can have them tell us what they’ve down with all those hundreds of millions thyevesiphoned out the club through the operating expenses during their tenure …
87 million quid gone last year with explanation neither asked nor given, yet the Celtic support still buy into their and the SFA’s fraud …
Makes me sick that our support could be so stupid, not only to finance these rip off organizations that are killing our game but can’t even have a level headed debate without losing their idiot minds in the process.
Anyway, cheers for your response, TT, you’re a good man at heart and I’m glad we can exchange opinions so vociferously without acting like eight year olds, dude 🙂
Take care of yourself and don’t stress it, this shower of trumpets aren’t worth the hassle.
Hail Hail
Broxburn Bhoy… I’d bet you’re sorry you asked… Cough p
And what about you, Red?
Nothing to say for any of your friends who died in the service of a British hoax & lie?
‘Free Ireland’ eh ..?
But when, Red, when?
Amd where does this leave your dreams of a ‘united Ireland’ in the wake of Brexit now you’ve learned that the Republic isn’t free at all but is still part of Britain some 98 years after the fact?
You seem incredibly quiet on this touchy subject, Red …
Now why would that be?
Did you ALWAYS know, even while ‘fighting the Brits’ that the Republic wasn’t actuall6 free or did you just find out this week too?
At what point did this devastating information infiltrate your brain cells, Red?
And was it worth it all worth it, to learn today that there neve4 actually was a Free State at all ..?
Quite improtant stuff for folk like yourself and readers of this page to discuss, one would think, but, no, you prefer to maintain a stony silence that would make the Celtic PLC blush and continue to quietly denigrate me and the information I’m providing from the sidelines …
Now why don’t you want to discuss it with us, Red?
As far as I’ve been told, everyone ‘quite likes a bomber on here’, so why don’t you engage with th matter at hand and tell us what you think of people dying in the service of a lie?
Yes, that said it is quite amusing to read the nonsensical gibberish of the reality challenged
Like your quack observation above, Broxi?
There you go Weered, sticking your fucking ignorant nose in to ‘back up’ anyone whom you deem as a ‘friend’ vs anyone you deem as an ‘enemy’. I’ve pointed out your weak, schoolgirl associations on here, ever since you stumbled upon this site.
You’re a fucking blood-clot from your essene; a fanny.
Buzz Bomb, agree with him in general or don’t, was stating a fact and correcting the other “BB”.
I stand alone in my views and will back them in any way I see fit. I don’t seek to, nor would, join any fucking playground ‘mates’, regardless of whether I agreed or disagreed with their *viewpoint*.
*Viewpoint*, regarding the written word, it’ss seldom accurate enough and more often than not ambiguous; it’s what lawyers, liars and their ilk thrive upon.
Well done The Wonderful Glasgow Celtic today and if the sheep are gurning at two players sent off they should watch the game again and ask how did that snide rat Ferguson get away with what he did for so long. And Ball’s 2nd yellow was actually a straight red. Fuck the sheep an’ a’ “ewes” hurtin’ hun bastards who are lurking on here. Zombie fucks.

‘Schoolgirl associations’ …

By the way …
Where’s Monti?
In your vein of pantomime… He’s behind you…
You’re caught lying again, Red, he’s in Glasgow, pished.
And what relief for us too.
Will you join us tomorrow?
And he DID ask, Red.
Just like I’m asking you now and have been for more than half the week:
What do you think of the fact that Ireland never was free of Brit control?
Seems to me like there is an Irish Republic and it is separate from the U.K. and is free from U.K. control. An independent Irish Republic. Those who live there vote freely and have decided their own government. If you see something else do tell ???
Well, that’s the whole point, Broxi, it has been to SEEM like that to all of us but what Phil tells you mugs that didn’t know is that THIS IS NOT THE CASE, THE BRITS RETAINED CONTROL.
Now why don’t you go over to Phil’s page and read it for yourself instead of causing unnecessary ructions on here?
FYI: Scotland ALSO has a government and elections for its First Minister both of whom, uncannily, have the names of two different species of fish, which should be all the clue you need:
So do you think because Scotland can go and scrawl an X in a box that Scotland is ‘free’ of British rule ..?
Of course, you don’t.
Well, they did exactly the same with Ireland, only they lied to everyone that the Free State aka The Republic (sic) was ‘free’ when the truth is the Brits have refused to sign The Withdrawal Agreement for the past 98 years.
Now off you trot and learn something for a change.
Phil’s page, ‘The Good Friday Agreement at 21’.
Ireland never was free, buddy.
Nowhere is.
Regarding the (continuous) British rule of Eire, I don’t think it was revealed by PMGB nor any other blogger. But it was foreseen, as James Connolly had stated (prior to his murder by the British state in May 1916) the following:
“If you remove the English Army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle., unless you set about the organization of the Socialist Republic your efforts will be in vain. England will still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs.” THAT’s not new.
Anyway, I make the point; it’s not debatable.
I’m not interested in listening to, nor being part of, any little clique on here. I do as I please without reference to anyone, unless it directly involves someone for whom I care.
To ‘charlie’, I had a chuckle at your ‘odds’ post for today/Sunday. I’ll wager £500 now that you’ve got it all wrong regarding myself.I wont be in the Gallowgate (early) today (which has already gone) nor at any time today or tomorrow. It’s got fuck all to do with me and I’m far too busy sorting stuff out at home.
So stick that in yer pipe…. 🙂
HH
Come On You Bhoys In Green tomorrow.
I fancy us by 2 clear goals.
I was told as a young child by a close Irish family member Ireland was not free and would never be free, TT.
This individual was there during the Rising and the men who were,wading this ‘revolt’ were not trusted by the people of Ireland,and wit( very good reason,as the proof now shows.
I was too young to understand what they meant, how could the Free State not actually be free, but was later told by another bhoy for the ver6 same region of West Cork in the first year of the millennium that this was, indeed, the case, the Brits neve4 left, they had maintained all fiscal and corporate control, in the background as ever, just as they’d done in the Americas and India and Africa and even Russia too, where all the ‘Bolsheviks’ were, in fact, Zionists Jews, further proof of which can be found in the fact they hid their Yiddish names and instead became the Trotskys & Lenins & Stalins we all know s well.
There’s nothing like a ‘rebellion’ led by the King’s own men for folk to fully understand what the phrase ‘Controlled Opposition’ means, TT, and the Protestant men who led the Irish ‘rebellion’ were doing so on behalf of their King to head off any legitimate and genuine revolt from the people themselves, just as they’d done in every country they had ever invaded and controlled.
As renowned ‘Socialist/Zionist murderer Vladimir Ilyanovich himself said
‘The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.’
Now I don’t know what books you believe, TT, but I don’t believe any of them for I too am a free thinking independent man and what I ave learned in my lifetime is watching the watchers is that EVERYTHING they have eve4 told us was true is, in fact, a lie and that these so-called ‘revolts’ are but one small part of the street theatre they require to make a show of it.
Of course, millions have died fighting each other during their worldwide takeovers bu5 not for the reason they intiall6 were led to believe in.
So Ireland is not ‘free’, America is not ‘free’, Russia was never free, and now we find that the Brits were behind all of it, meaning that Phil’s continuous calims that ‘the Empire is over’ now look as fatuous and deceitful as his claim that he knew all along of the lie at the heart of it.
For I was the one who gave Phil this lead and he rejected it in folly at the time, along with a few others I advised him to look into, back when we were still friends.
And all 8 can be grateful for is that he has taken the time to at least examine one of them.
Still not sure how he can stage a play called ‘Rebellion’ though and then claim it to be a ‘roaring success’, unless fiction in his writing is his journalistic speciality.
Which, come to tin’ of it, is probably the reason why his union, the NUJ, allow all of the mainstream media across Britain and the rest of the world to get away with their daily diet of daily lies and bullshit, from the death of Rangers to ‘the freedom of Ireland’ and every other lie they tell every day besides.
And, if he DID know of the lie at the heart of it, then he also knows a lot more besides that he’s not letting on
Which indicates that he, too, is one of these fake revolutionaries shaking the hands of the big boys that really pull the strings behind the scenes in The Mutual Back Scratching Society that we see running everything from the SFA to Police Scotland to UEFA & FIFA and every other ‘governing body’ on earth, including the governments themselves.
So sticking some clown on a screen and calling him a ‘whistleblower’ and having him wink at the cameras in one of their renowned ‘signals’ to each other of it being an inside job is a piece of cake to these men, who stage fake ‘revolutions’ and still have folk believing in them a century later.
I told Red and I tell you all, it’s all theatre you’re watching, joke stuff set up for the cameras to keep your eyes from where the real action is, a conjurer’s trick of diversion and manipulation that continually keeps your eyes looking in the wrong place.
They do right in front of you and that’s why you can’t follow it until you know the trick and how it works and I know it and how it works and you don’t and should learn it fast, for the sake of yourselves and your families.
The whole world’s a stage and we all must play our part …
Shakin’ Stevens said that

The stupidity is not the secret state, it is the people that wallow in their hatred and stupidity of anything different.
At times they are manipulated by the so called great and the good, using divide and conquer to rule the stupid mob
Today we had the ceremony in India for Amritsar, what did Ghandi say.
The world is a sad place where the poor are robbed, abused, and kept uneducated by corrupt politicians, and their hangers and nepotism and corruption run the world
Amritsar was a horrendous crime.
To think the Tory Party hailed Dyer as a hero on his return to England.
Amritsar was but one in a continuous series of horrendous crimes carried out by the deep State since they seized control all those years ago, crimes that they still carry out to this day.
Yet according to the great oracle that is Phil (sic) we’re supposed to believe that ‘the Empire is over’ even though we see its malignant influence around us every da6 in our own reality and I don’t mean the one we see on our mendacious screens but in the horneless, the sick, the poor, the abused and the weak surrounding us in our communities and in our own homes, knowing that all of this is being perpetrated as part of a deliberate programmed against humanity in the same way all their ways have been down the centuries.
Now we have the same shill, sorry, Phil, suddenly telling us that, contrary to his years of claims, that the Empire ISN’T actually over at all but has been alive & kicking its way around the world fooling people simply by wearing a different mask with the same colours on it.
I despair when I see ignorarmuses like Monti eunning riot on these pages and despair even more when I see this level of ignorance not only being celebrated but often being encouraged by those who can and do know better as their own role in the greater agenda.
So it’s no wonder they’re polite to you, CS, when their job is to maintain the division and the hoax while at the same time monitoring you.
Amritsar was but one in a continuous series of horrendous crimes carried out by the deep State since they seized control all those years ago, crimes that they still carry out to this day.

“In fact, pre-Lennon, Rodgers was sending us all to sleep with his turgid efforts as well”
Really?
In 2019 before Lennon we won 9 games, combined score 26-1 and playing some great football.
I must be living in a parallel universe. 🙁
Cha your statement regarding the 2019 form is true but much of our footballaway from parkheadthis season was turgid, sleep inducing and generally substandard and I think we have to acknowledge that reality mate.
Agreed.
We won every game at Parkhead this season until the change of the manager.
We Took 5 off of “top of the league” Hearts & Killie, 4 a couple of times and 3 several times.
We also completely outplayed the Hun and should’ve taken a lot more than the 1 we did off them.
Our away form, on the other hand, was very poor…in 2018.
If the change of manager happened in January after the horror show at Ibrox then I’d understand the comments but it didn’t.
– we utilised the break and training camp very well to get our mojo back
– we got great reinforcements in Burke & Weah
– we then played and won 9 games, including difficult away games against St Johnstone & Killie.
That is the team that Lennon took over not the misfiring one last year.
Circular debate that’s been done to death in Ralph’s absence.
You judge a teams performance over a Season not just one part of it.
The team Lennon took over just had their Manager walk out on them without so much of a warning or goodbye.
A fact you seem to fail to either comprehend or take into account when reviewing the results under Lennon.
Which incidentally have been favourable on the whole,
He hasn’t lost a game YET.
Current form is crucial, especially in Cup games.
This was terrific when Lennon took over and has nosedived.
2 0-0 home draws when we previously had a 100% record.
2 injury time winners to beat an out of form team, who had 10 men, and the other bottom of the league.
A late winner required to beat 10 men Huns.
Only 2nd half Hibs and 1st half Huns good performances, approx 15%.
What do you find so great about that, as I’m genuinely confused.
Current form up until the guy who had been telling these players you are great,you are fantastic,we need to stay focused etc etc etc up sticks and dropped them like a shite down the lavvy at the first hunt of a wage rise and Premier League mediocrity.
The players mental state that had seen them turn it around after the Ibrox disaster (remember that?) was allof a sudden battered by this move by Rodgers.
You seem underestimate just how much of an impact that can have on a team which has already shown inconsistency this Season.
Lennon did not come in to change the game plan Cha he came in to steady a ship that was needing steadied and to consolidate our position on top of the table.
He’s not only achieved that aim he has also EXTENDED the lead by 3 points.
His second priority was to try win the Cup.
We are one stage further in that respect.
This side of it has proven anything in the last few weeks since this upheaval is it never gives up and you have to take us all the way to the final whistle to ensure any sort of victory.
In the past 7 Games under Neil Lennon we have created:
101 Chances and of those 34 were on target.
Of those 34 we have scored 9 of them.
The problem is in the finishing.
NOT the creation of chances.
The Football doesn’t need to be pretty at this stage of the Season it just needs to be effective Cha.
5 wins out of 7 and no losses is effective.
We need a win today though.
Let us hope our Strikers have their shooting boots on.

BREAKING NEWS:
Celtic`re to billet out players for noon away games.
Critical players not subject to the Scottish Cup semi-final from the Dandies…
How shall Derek John McInnes overcome thy impatience from his players?
Beforehand officiated knowledge?
Celts bench 3-0.

Stephen Bache has downed tools as of 12 a.m. after the first Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park.
SFA spokesman was quoted as saying:
“All goats,they`re pre-party occupied.”
Alas poor Yoker I saw it all, Sevilla had so much of the ball, Betis tried like hard they tried, alas poor Yoker the Betis sighed, 3-2 to Sevilla. Sam (mutton chops) Cosgrove, ex of that huge English club Carlisle Utd. and trust me me, that is his level, indeed it is, so me nervous, no I’m not, the sheep are the nervous ones, as they head to the Hampden abattoir. But watch out for the Halal guys in black…
Celtic, Celtic, Celtic.
Don`t get mad,get Cosgrove horizontally challenged.
His value`ll never change.
Is Lewis Ferguson(only a wee word to) playing?
That lump can be a danger.
G’day Port, hope you’re keeping very well m8. How do you reckon we’ll get on today?
G`day Yoker Bhoy,we`re always well.
I reckon Neil Lennon will drag off those lacking spirit.
He hates the 65 minutes tippy tappy 1-0 result.
Callum McGregor hasn’t put a couple away for a while.
What a feat it`ll be for the treble this season.
PS: Bring on the left arm arc celebrations.
Enjoy the game Yoker Bhoy.
I effin love one-off games.
You too Port. All the best mate!
Morning Mikey, yeah a big disappointment last night. It was a pretty even game with some good football on show but there were also heaps of basic mistakes in both defence and attack. Striker Jesé Rodriguez was a brilliant prospect a few years ago at Real Madrid and is now a PSG player on loan to Betis. Last night, however, he played like a fucking dumplin’ who just couldn’t get anything right. He missed at least 4 sitters. Stunning goal from that free kick by Cristián Tello though, to pull it back to 3-2 and we pounded their goal towards the end but sadly Betis can practically kiss goodbye to any chances of European football next season.
That was important for me but a mere fraction of the importance that today’s semi against the sheep has. I still stick by my 1-0 prediction and expect the game to be a hard physical slog but you never know. We are really due a big performance and we have the players to pull that off. My hope is that the likes of Christie, Benko and Rogic are now a lot nearer to maximum fitness and sharpness after their respective lay-offs. I really rate the dandies’ 21 year old left back (on loan from Derby County) Max Lowe, who has been outstanding for them this season. He’d be ideal back up for KT so maybe a wee bid for him this summer could be in order? Among the other clubs in the SPL this season, it’s him and Livi keeper Liam Kelly who have impressed me the most.
Enjoy today to the full Mikey Bhoy and fingers crossed we can see our great club blast their way through to yet another final.
HH
A wonderful save by the Betis keeper Yoker, to keep the score at 1-0 to Sevilla, a big sell out crowd, but the “Cry was poor defending” only had time to watch the first half but your description of Rodriguez well that did make me laugh. Thing is our players have much more experience of the big games than the Dandies and that counts. We just need to perform to our capabilities and hope that lady luck is fair to us and that “Thompshun” is fair and honest. 2-0 to the bhoys is this bould bhoy’s prediction. COYBIG. Enjoy it Yoker and fingers crossed. 😉 <3
Yeah, that was a world class save by Pau López right enough to keep Betis in the game. Enjoy Mikey. Come on you Bhoys in green & white!!!
