Not just for me personally.
Having got a bad back, which is causing me more pain than all of the backs at Celtic, though it’s close, they’ve taken me off the trustworthy Tramadol and put me on a nerveblocker called Pregablin.
One of its properties is to send me to sleep at any given moment, something which, in fairness , allows me to sympathise with diary readers, only a small portion of which make it all the way through the piece before they are struck down by boredom.
It is a strane world in Scottish football, one that some would call unique.
James MacLean, the Derry lad who refuses to wear a poppy for reasons that are obvious when you consider from where he hails, has been roundly and soundly racially abused in England.
He plays for championship side Stoke City, and when he’s playing, opposition fans are wont to remind him of where he’s from..
The Professional footballers Association said;
“James has been subjected to this type of vile abuse throughout his career, and he will be fully supported in the same way as any other individual who receives abuse based on their race, religion or nationality…”
Recently, a game against Barnsley was halted as the abuse rained down, and only resumed after a warning over the tannoy. Prompting this from the English FA
Barnsley have been charged by the FA following an investigation into alleged discriminatory behaviour towards Stoke midfielder James McClean.
It’s not the first time that a penalty has been handed out as a result of MacLean being abused…
Kirk Broadfoot, formerly of Rangers -or “rangers “, not sure which, to be honest, but their doctrine is the same.
In Scotland, Graeme Spiers asked;
•James McClean – would any Old Firm game ever get finished?
Any doubt that it’s treated differently in Scotland are removed when you note when the BBC use the word “allegedly “…
whereas in Scotland…
Not alleged, presumably confirmed, or so they would hope you believe…
I leave you to judge if you feel the Scottish media take racism seriously.
They kind of do when it’s that lovable rogue Alfredo Morelos. Even if there is no actual evidence of it, they go for the jugular there, citing how much hatred poor Alfredo has to put up with due to the colour of his skin.
There’s no excuse for any kind of abuse , be it racist, sectarian or sexist based.
But when someone behaves like a knob, and Morelos does, then there is an argument he is going to get it.
Making a gesture outlawed in the USA , for instance, and then claiming it as a colombian custom, despite Colombian media saying he’d stained his copybook, makes one fell that there may be one set of rule for one, and one for another, depending on the colour of your short on matchdays..
Remember this, abuse of Scott Sinclair at Ibrox..
Didn’t get half the attention Morelos is getting.
Neil Lennon, who endured abuse beyond the imagination was told by many in the media he brought it all on himself, and when he questioned that, he was told it was his combative style of play that caused it.
All complete bollocks of course, but it gets stranger.
Very soon after the game on Sunday, it emerged that a player with another club had been amongst the “rangers ” support, and made a gesture of his own…
Almost immediately, he apologised…
Then he was sacked by his club.
It was done with commendable haste, probably because further evidence appeared that he was involved in singing about the Billy boys, a song banned by UEFA that will get you fined, and if you keep doing it, your stadium will be closed..
Here’s an easy to read rundown of events…
10, to add to this already messy business, who else but our young gesture making (Morelos newsworthy link and reason he was punted) young ex-Rangers player (newsworthy) Is seen in footage joining in with ‘The Billy Boys’ and ‘No surrender’
Yet the media are ignoring it.
Perhaps they are just filling space, as Celtic have yet to comment on anything at all, including the rumours about what happened in the tunnel.
Perhaps they have taken legal advice-it is more likely than not something has happened, and there will be serious repercussions, and so we must wait and see.
Not long , though.
On Monday, Ryan Christie is up in front of the beaks…
He grabbed -or is supposed to have grabbed- Alfreod by the short and curlies. Excalty like Alfredo grabbed his in a previous clash, but which oddly enough didn’t result in a charge for the Colombian..
If Celtic have, as I suspect, engaged a capable and competent barrister, then the SFa could be rather embarrassed on Monday.
But primarily it’s all bollocks, if I may be forgiven for the lame pun, the media have sided with Morelos, which suggests a nationwide narrative, and begs the question.. why ?
We explained how it works on Friday, but why would anyone want it to work that way ?
Morelos is the only saleable asset at “rangers “, at least the only one who will fetch a price that will make any difference to the financial black hole over there.
they need to sell him, and also to replace their main striker, who has socred 29 times this season already.
A phenomenal return, but he wants out and they need him to go.
But they also need the fans to think they have done everything to keep him, and he just couldn’t cope with the racism.
They’ll be painting swastikas on his house next, and blaming us.
But that is the truth. They need the money, and he needs to better himself.
Who knows, maybe he is aware of the anti catholicism connected with the club, like a few others before him ?
The club/company has never registered a profit while trading, and is living beyond theor means, just like the original Rangers, which is now in liquidation.
Oddly enough, the same club myth is also perpetuated in the media, which means that when the shit hits the fam and the footballing world hears whats been happening, Scotland may well be ostracised.
Unless, of course, we clean our act up.
Something that doesn’t seem to have occured to the media, who merely sit back on munch on this new succulent lamb.
If this club goes out of business, and Celtic win a ninth title, the establishment will implode.
Thats why they are doing their level best to derail Lennons side.
It’s also why Lawwell must back his manager with cash, and with public support over the issues that are arising that are detrimental to the club and it’s image.
We’re being portrayed as racists, which we aren’t.
As bigots, which we aren’t
and those who would portray as such are proven offenders in both cases, as we have seen above.
The club must fight back, and we hope that starts with a resounding defeat for the SFA.
On Friday , we had..
Today…
Charlie saiz has a red letter day
Bbgbhoy… French letter days might me better 😉
Weered not a mention of “the” result of the season, Queens beating the mighty Linfield and at the “Dub”. Wonder what the crowd was?
BJF… I’d guess… Mostly fenians
Scotland is a cesspit of corruption and fake news. It’s lie after damn lie.
In any other country the throat -slitter -gesturer Moreorless (Less) would be suspended for quite some time.
And the police should do their job in respect of breaches of the peace like this gesture.

a forgetful alistair johnstone forgets that Rangers died and also forgets his parachute. He’s a silly billy.
As Sevco prepare to be “parachuted” into Division one, a strong gust of Turnbull Hutton wind blows them off course into Division three! and the cry was GIRUT.
The excellent Celtic By Numbers reports that an “error strewn game was lost despite Celtic having the best chances, but it is to team shapes the coach’s need to focus to overcome a well drilled opponent”.
Kind of backs up my point that if Ryan had passed to an unmarked Odsonne on the 20 yard line and if Odsonne had taken the penalty, that the result might have been in Celtics favour.
All true Mike and you definitely win the Caption award with the ‘Turnbull Hutton’ wind! Ralph, an excellent article. Well done. Bad back? Standing or lying flat is better than sitting. If you are religious, pray. If not, whisky is the only cure!
Thank you Devoy!
Sorry to hear of your bad back Ralphy, mine is being treated at the moment with Gabapetin 300mg. at least it lets me sleep for a few hours at night, but it gives me hallucinations and nightmares, cos I dream that a Hun horde arrived to play at Celtic park, they brought madness and mayhem and I thought to myself “is this all worth it”? bringing them back from the dead. For they are the very antipathy of what sport should be. The lies, the cheating, the cover ups, the accommodations by the SFA. and SPFL. every club in Scottish football puts up with them including our own, for what? the bigot pound. All of it to bring back the Zombies, Resolution 12. was the stake to put through their heart. Was our own board complicit in that? because it looks like they were, hence the silence. I was reminded of the Dionne Warwick song “Silent Voices” so who is it that speaks up for Celtic, WHO?
“Recently, a game against Barnsley was halted as the abuse rained down, and only resumed after a warning over the tannoy. Prompting this from the English FA Barnsley have been charged by the FA following an investigation into alleged discriminatory behaviour towards Stoke midfielder James McClean.”
The recent game that was stopped was against Huddersfield who made strong statements of condemnation and a resolve to find the culprits. The Barnsley abuse was back in November and they don’t appear to have had the same resolve hence the charge, which was met by a “we are the victim here” mentality justifying said charge.
The word “allegedly“ can have different meanings. In legal terms its avoiding prejudicing hearings. For Morelos there’s no such bar, so they can happily and incorrectly state it as a fact. If there was a trial then it would revert to “allegedly“ but few people expect that to be the case.
That Fraser Aird is a typical Hun; born in Canada but bemoaning the amount of immigrants in Britland, with all the self-awareness of a zombie which, in fact, is what he is.
“(Insert tweets and Jordan lock down after finding his attitude on racism was somewhat different previously.)” I assume something else was meant to go here but think we get the picture ie another hypocritical Hun. Also Peter A Smith also reported that the Huns were attacked after the Hibs Cup Final, which we know was bollocks, as is his take here.
Re Christie ban being lifted. It may be obvious to us that there’s double standards at play but we’re not the judges; those with the double standards are, so, as unjust as it would be, I’m not as confident.
It’s at least a decade since Minty Moonbeams served succulent lamb to his compliant media dinner party attendees.
I’d guess if there’s anything succulent on offer now it’s more likely pizza or KFC.
Injured: Bain, Simunovic, Elhamed, Arzani, Elyounoussi, Kouassi
The only real misses out of those are Elhamed and Elyounoussi, although it would be good to get Jozo back to provide cover for Chris and Kris.
I assume Shved, Bayo and Morgan are fit but just not in the manager’s plans.
With regard to Moi, he “only” cost Southampton £12m and earns a basic the same as top Celtic players and not the double that’s been reported.
Its suggested that we could get him for £9m so should we make a deal now or do we need to see an injury-free top performing 2nd half of the season to decide?
Hopefully some reserves (O’Connor, Dembele, Okoflex,
Afolabi) get the opportunity to show what they can produce.
The Sporar story seems to be ongoing with a bid of €5.5m being rejected. I don’t know much about him but he seems substantially better than Bayo and hopefully would be 1st team ready if we buy.

Ah we can winge, but as Jock said we always play against twelve men. The Establishment (better known as the Hunnery) do anything to put down the Irish/catholic diaspora in great old Scotia.
Orange walks pass by chapels, their attitude is the chapel should have been built elsewhere so that it does not cause upset.
Lenny and the team bring it upon themselves, they should be more servile.
The uneducated knuckle draggers are the innocent as they chant vile ditties.
But more to the point is the Celtic Board are as much to blame by their lack of a challenge to the authorities and media, there must be change
Good article, but the context is impacted as a number of your image links are not being resolved, so are missing.
