Celtic Diary Wednesday January 1: Happy New Year

Lang may yer lum reek !

A very happy and prosperous new year to one and all. May your 2020 exceed all your hopes and expectations.

 

Though let’s face it, it probably won’t.

 

The fallout from sindays league defeat to “rangers ” continued with the news that Ryan Christie could face a two game ban after the compliance officer cited him for grabbing the genitals of Alfredo Morelos..

Image

sorry, my bad, that was in a previous game when the compliance officer wasn’t watching, it’s this one she managed to see…

Image

Christie himself is in hospital, suffering from anything between a burst blood vessel (BBC ) , a groin injury ( Record ) , a ruptured testicle ( assorted social media posts ) and a ruptured and then removed testicle ( assorted social media sources )

The former two, the BBC and the Record, are not noted for their accuracy, and so one would tend to lean towards the usually more accurate social media posts purely from experience, and we can examine a couple of those.

John James, the only blogger out there who actively bans people from reading his stuff, as well as charging them for some of them, went with one of the more outlandish theories…

Image Image

 

 

The bit he hasn;t mentioned, because he is loathe to, claims that Christie had called Morelos a black bastard, which is extremely unlikely, and Neil Lennon told Christie that he was finished at the club.

The players then sided with Christie, and have since demanded the removal of Lennon.

Yes, you’re probably getting an idea of what its like to do a daily diary. Some of the stuff you get passed really is the kind of stuff you’d expect from those who have issues with reality.

Like those who publish it, I suppose.

 

Normally, I’d laugh this off, but I received something very similar from someone who in the past has been spot on with a couple of things, so it certainly shouldn’t be discounted, although you’ll notice i’m shifting credit over to someone else…

 

Other theories include Morelos and Christie colliding , which led to Christie being substituted and this is where the ruptured testicle theory-which is constant in both stories is explained away and is not malicious.

ExceptI can;t remember a collison that may have been responsible for this..

However, Morelos, when he was sent off , was informed of the damage to christie and is said to have laughed about it, prompting fury from the Celtic contingent and it’s then that any altercation is said to have taken place.

Morelos was then on hios way to Colombia, and therefore unavailable for any sort of comment, and his club went swiftly on the attack, claiming that the loveable wee scamp was the victim of racist abuse, evidence of which has been difficult to source.

Jordan Campbell, who writes for the online pay as you go site The Athletic, surpassed any hack when he said that Morelos was the victim of racist abuse that has been unequalled in Scotland, proving that the Fat controller has been dangling titbits in front of him and his cronies, well, it’s either that or he had completely forgotten that one man had previously had bombs and bulets in the pist, effigies of him being hanged outside his parents house, assorted graffiti in assorted towns, being assaulted live on TV and battered and left unconscious on a public highway, but presumably that had just slipped his mind.

Campbell then deleted those tweets and claims, but the idea of Morelos now being the victim had been planted, and as it seems no newspaper would have been daft enough to make those claims, the Fat Controller put his feelers out for a receptive weblog, and ot looks like he found one.

Keep an eye put for an exclusive over there in the near future.

 

So what really happened with christie and Morelos ?

I don’t know, but i had several messages that pointed to the more believable story where there was a collision and then Morelos laughed about it, but the more trusted source goes with the theory thrown out by John James.

From sources closer to the action, so to speak, all I can ascertain is that Christie is in a bad way, but there are no further details.

 

It’s perhaps time for the club to come clean, whether or not they have been told not to do so by police…another rumour…and to start standing up for themselves against those who clearly do not have the clubs best interests at heart.

No doubt someone out there knows what happened, and i’m surprised that our elite team of national sports reporters aren’t all over it.

Actually , I’m not, and suspicions were further enhanced when the only story about Morelos highlights his charity work in his home town, where he went immediately after the game.

Morelos is the only real saleable asset the financially stricken club/company has, and they need at least £10m , ccording to their own accounts to see out the season.

And thats without anything Ashley and Sports Direct will be collecting from them after the court announces the damages due.

As morelos, who had escaped bookings and red cards thus far this season, now has two reds to his name in just over two weeks, its clear he hasn’t altered and improved his temperament, and is even less likely to earn any substantial transfer fee, its likely that when he is sold, for an undisclosed fee, the “rangers ” will blame his departure on the racism that he is apparently the brunt of on a week to week basis. You can almost write the statement for them…

“He didn’t want to go, and we didn’t want him to go, but he and his family felt threatened by the racist attacks and it’s abhorrent in this day and age that such a mindset still exists. ” 

We’ve already seen that narrative appear in the daily papers, and yet there is absolutely no evidence of it anywhere, with the possible odd shout where his colour is mentioned.

For real racism, of course, simply go to Ibrox when the home team are in action and have a listen to their supporters songbook.

speaking of their supporters, one of them has written to the Colombian embassy , demandng they stand up for their citizen…

Image

i

Maybe we should write t the Irish embassy, expressing our concerns for our safety given the songbook over at Ibrox

 

 

Celtic have stated that they will ” defend vigorously ” any charge against Ryan Christie, but once more they fallshort of calling out the charges of racism levelled at their supporters.

But we are kind of used to them being aloof to any thing that concerns us, and it’s about time they got a short sharp shock as to just where their bread is buttered.

One suggestion is to call for Celtic players to be excluded from Scotland squads, which won;t affect Celtic on the field, but will draw attention from outwith Scotland as to why Celtic feel the need to protest against the SFA, who are currently allowing all sorts of shennanigans, including what looks like a rerun of the events that ed to Rangers entering liquidation, and a new club popping up, with the same history, the same colours, the same home ground and the same numbskulled support paying their money to keep them afloat, for a while at least.

 

2020 may yet surpass all our hopes and expectations both on and off the field, but although the support wants that, the board don’t seem to be all that bothered…

If they don’t get a grip, and start to deal with our concerns, they might find they need more than one of those sheets to cover unsold seats…

We need to fell that they are in this with us, from Res 12 to anti Celtic racism and malpractiuce amongst the powers that be.

Their repeated refusal to ignore us will lead to a serious rift in the relationship between club and support, a rift that will not be easy to heal, and will certainly not be covered up with a couple of signings and a few trophies.

The countdown to confrontation has begun, and they are the only ones who can prevent it.

 

Yesterday, we had this…

Every time that someone makes that gesture it reminds me of the 16 year old Mark Scott murdered at Bridgeton cross by that f!ckwit Jason Campbell. Marks only crime was wearing the hoops under his jacket. RIP Mark.
Its ironic that Nil By Mouth was started in his memory, but now NBM is first in the que to take aim at the club Mark supported.

Incredibly sad, and true, Mike.
The sheer horror of that scum act on a wee Bhoy lives forever in my mind.
In some defence of “them” however (not NBM but huns in general), Campbell thought he was safe in his own (hun) neighbourhood after doing that and a decent mother understood it was indefensible and reported him. She was one of “them”, but good on her for doing that which EVERYONE should do in that case. I think most of her neighbours felt she did the right thing and commended her for doing so. As we enter this New Year and new decade, it’s (IMHO) worthwhile being cogniscant of the FACT that “they” are not ALL bad people; just brainwashed like the rest of us, but where decency can supersede the brainwashing.

Mine too, It must be every mothers concern when her sons or daughters goes out to watch their team play football, that something like that could happen. So yes good for his mother Mrs. Campbell for doing the right thing, but my sympathies are with Marks parents and their heartbreak at losing their son, they will never get to see him become a man, get married, have his own children. You would like to think that perhaps she, Mrs. Campbell, was putting herself in Marks mothers position, I’m sure she was.

There can be no justice for Celtic in Scottish football until the governors of Scottish football, the SFA-SPFL are cleaned out and a full inquiry is in place and investigates everything and everybody involved in the awarding THAT licence in 2011-2, the 5Way agreement is the death nell for real justice in Scottish football. That secret agreement is quoted every time that justice is required, it is the “Get out of Jail” free card to Sevco every time that they commits any football offence.
In 2017 it was quoted by Regan when Celtic asked questions after the Craig Whyte trials about the awarding of the licence. He said that he “couldn’t rule on it” Its the reason that Maxwell still hasn’t set up a full judicial review into their disciplinary charges 20 months ago. Its ironic that Auldheid has just published the letter from Doncaster to Lawwell attached to the letter he published in yesterdays diary, after he Lawwell stated at the AGM that he hadn’t seen it, another lie. So if he told that lie, what other lies has he told eh? just how much has he been involved in helping Sevco with his and Bains cosy relationship?
So how can Celtic ever get any kind of real justice when all of this is lying underneath the belly of Scottish football. Keep up your great works trying to expose this “Dark under belly of Scottish football” “cos you will never walk alone”.

Celtic Board & fans must unite.together to do something big , something that will be clearly visible & show that the SFA , SPL , Scottish Police & Rangers 2012 have stepped over line once too often . We have to be united & waiting to pounce in a meaningful way to clean up these institutes from the scum & dirt within .
We can’t leave it up to the Board , they won’t do anything , but we can sicken them in to taking action with us

Auldheid has a tug-O’war team, they are digging their heels in and taking the strain with Ralph as the anchor man. I hope that when they get organised, they and the Celtic support unite, make their mark on the board and force them to do what is necessary, it could be done if we are united.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. When has the board ever supported the fans view? No chance they will partner with us. They are also very complacent that the fans won’t vote with their feet and they are somewhat justified as we keep turning up in droves.

They are circling the wagons, destroying all in their retreat, but to survive this must be done as the pit beckons.

The Celtic board sit with their fingers up a dark place ignoring the damage done to the support. It is a time to follow the McCann route and involve lawyers as the good name of our club is being sullied by this mob of Orcs. Remember Jane field, I think the board as usual will take no action

The hatred of all things Celtic clearly highlighted by the SFA the media and the Scots Polis.

“We need to feel that they are in this with us, from Res 12 to anti Celtic racism and malpractice amongst the powers that be.”

Clearly they’re not with us regarding Res12, as the recent AGM demonstrated, and its a distraction to claim they’re open to any kind of persuasion.

That battle’s been fought and lost.

The question is whether fans are prepared to fight for the latter 2 whilst ignoring the former or its an ‘all or nothing’ meaning its already a lost battle.

Cha,

Nail hit firmly on head. The evidence to support the last two issues is both current and present. Further, the issues are bigger than simply football related. The threat to make that clear is the most powerful weapon we have.

I understood the potential detriment of the fax (facsimile) machine all those years ago. Everything (in my business anyway) had to be fucking ‘immediate’. No time for NECESSARY consideration of the various ‘Ws’. (who, what, why et cetera)
Now we have ‘blogging’, an area whereby pertinent points are raised, agreed with/disagreed with and forgotten within hours/a few days.
PERTINENT POINTS, regardless of whom raised them.
NOW, if I wanted COMPLETE control of the minds/thoughts of masses, accepting that my ‘news’papers were failing, I’d swiftly move to blogging…..don’t dismiss this, scum like Rupert Murdoch are still alive and well, and living, without paying, inside your fucking heads. But NOT in mine. Wake up. The ‘peasants’ should be revolting……….
HH, FC not PLC and FTP and his phony accolytes, they’re (his holiness/mohammud etc) central to all of this…..FFS, WAKE UP.
It’s a new year, new decade, a time whereby the masses should congregate and get rid of the scum whom leech off our football Club, leech off our labour and just generally leech.
THEY NUMBER LESS THAN 1% of us but abuse their position by their singular ‘entitlement’.
Desmond is one of them, Lawwell wants to join him.

If even half of this story re Morelos kicking Christie in the goodies in the tunnel, is true, I’ve no doubt Desmond with unleash his barrister. Or maybe wait for Ashley to roll his tanks onto the lawn first.

Celtic also citing missile throwing and racist abuse. Also seems odd. Surely happens at every game and is never mentioned. They leave it to the cops usually, and no news is good news

It could be a case of speaking to the lawyers whilst deciding where abouts on the lawn we put the tanks.

The Christie thing now has 2 strands. If he’s banned for the ball slap it’ll be war. If he’s done, then maybe we go full tilt [was going to say “full balls”!] on El Gruffalo. Maybe bypass football authorities and go legal. Depends on the advice given

https://videocelts.com/2019/12/blogs/latest-news/sky-sports-and-sky-news-reporter-accuses-celtic-of-the-most-sickening-racist-abuse-he-has-encountered/

Part of the Traynor mafia

How are they getting away with this? Celtic should challenge it. Unsubstantiated shite

If it had been a game-based injury, he would probably have done so.

In 40 years of playing and following football, I’ve never ever heard of someone being rushed to hospital for emergency surgery, unless they were first removed from the field of play as a result of injury or illness. This stinks to high heaven.

The story doesn’t add up. We are not being told the truth

We need to know what really happened in that tunnel when El Buffoono was sent off..

How come Lennon never said anything about Christie going to hospital, in his post match interview?

Aye suppose. Why wouldn’t Celtic just release this info if true ? We’re our players the reported instigators

Daily record running story about emergency surgery required but says no reason. He left the pitch 81st minute unscathed

Either implicated somehow or getting the appropriate legal advice?

Might we be waiting the Ashley bombardment first, then cry havoc and release the dogs of war?

Ralph that’s some crazy news to kick off the new year. In regard to the board speaking out to defend the fans , im way pissed off with how Our Board have handled the ipox PR machine of late.But I don’t think theres anyway to defend an accusation of racism against 55000 fans. If you try to defend it , some phuckwit will have footage showing someone in green an white saying somethin racist. whether any footage is real, staged , from a different game , in a pub whatever. That’s why its a great ploy to accuse a clubs fans. Just another cynical PR stunt.Only way to combat it is to release security footage of rankers fans doing what they do , and fight accusations against your fans with verifiable footage of theirs.
If that doesn’t happen over the next few days then we truly are Asleep at the wheel.

So, do we just accept the unacceptable, say nothing, do nothing but Moooaann at all the injustice’s of watching a football game that we all know is slanted in only one clubs favour? or do we actually try as hard as we can to change things to a better, a more honest game?

There has to be a way to enforce the change’s that we want, we know what they are, but it takes a concerted effort by every single one of us. We must put pressure on the board to make the changes that are needed by the governing bodies. Someone, somewhere will be working on that to try to make those changes. Its not a lot to ask for is it? an honest game, that is all we ask for.

If an incident occurred in the tunnel it ought to have been captured on camera and relevant footage made available to police officials for action. In that event I struggle to understand how a supposed participant was allowed to leave the country.
If an incident occurred and wasn’t captured on camera many ugly questions would spring effortlessly to mind.

“On entering liquidation, Rangers lost their membership of the European Club Association, and as a new entity they had to reapply for membership. The ECA granted them associate membership (rather than ordinary membership) on the basis that Rangers were a founding member of the Association, and acknowledged that the new entity had acquired the goodwill, which included the history, of the old company.” Excuse my ignorance, but who the flock are the ECA?
