Celtic Diary Friday June 12: Deflections, Distractions and Delusions

After criticism over the prices for season books , Celtic moved quickly to leak pictures of the new kits for next season…

 

These pictures emerged online and provided a welcome distraction for the board, who needed to end the run of PR cock-ups and get at least some of the fans back onside again.

 

For the home kit, it’s green and white hoops again…..

 

 The leaked image which appears to show the new Celtic home kit

 

 

Quite a few hoops, as you can see. Thirteen and a half, which represents exactly one quarter of the titles won by the old entity from Ibrox, another subliminal message from the Old Firm cabal at Parkhead…( oh , for fucks sake-Ed )

 

The away kit, the one that is for adults and will be used in away matches looks like this….

 

 Images of what appears to be Celtic's new third kit

 

Black has been the biggest selling colour in away tops, and it looks like the club have finally ditched the yellow and green template as although it looks good, it doesn’t sell as well, and thats what matters.

 

Well, what really matters is if the quality is better than that of Nike and New Balance, and if punters get a shirt that actually is worth the exorbitant price paid for them

 

There’s no release date as yet, mainly because adidas haven’t made them in any sort of quantity , due to the plague being in town, but no doubt they’ll be on the shelves as soon as possible, even if we’re not allowed in the shops to buy them.

 

If only we’d been a bit smarter and hired a couple of guys from Liverpool to do the job. We hear “rangers ” will have their new gear on sale within days as the lads have got their mum and a couple of her friends in to help sew the badges on.

 

 

Liam Burt, the man feted as the next Lewis MacLoed/Jamie Ness /John Fleck by an adoring Scottish media joined Celtic from Ibrox and will now be on his way from there as well.

 

The club , having had a look at him , have decided he can move on, and word is they could be going for another Ibrox star, but they’ll have to be quick, as there has been another offer….

 Sounds legit…. given the track record of the , er, source…
Image
 Perhaps our investigative media could have a look into the background behind this story, as they would love it to be true, and frankly, I’m surprised they haven’t ran with it anyway.
 They do have to be applauded for this revelation though….

 

 Aaron Hickey has been discovered in the Celtic end at Ibrox in 2017

 An alternative headline could have been Celtic Academy player goes to game, as that’s what he was at the time, before going to Hearts, but that wouldn’t have caught the eye.
  With Hearts almost certain to be playing in the Championship next season, Hickey will be available, and could supplement Greg Taylor in the squad. Two decent young left backs with the capacity to improve should tide us over until Keiran Tierney returns from his loan at Arsenal.
 Ann budge has been desperately trying to come up with some way of changing the league structure so that Hearts can enjoy another season of misery in the top flight, but she hasn’t come up with a system that pleases everyone, as it always seems to involve her club being the prime beneficiaries, which to be fair is sort of the whole point.
 Hearts are a big club, and as such the beaks think they should be in the top league, as sporting merit doesn’t count in Scotland, which is why they’ve given her the job of sorting it, and avoided criticism by not doing it themselves.
 Scottish football seems to throw up these characters who won’t accept that they just can;t hack it at the highest level. John Barnes , incredibly a Celtic manager once, had those of us who remember his tenure at the club reaching for the anti depressants when he surfaced on a podcast this week.
 As usual , Barnes blamed everyone else and hinted that subliminal racism within the Celtic support meant that he wasn’t given enough time at the club to sort out the problems that he had created.
 Barnes started well, as well as anyone , in fact, but when talismanic striker Henrik Larsson broke his leg things started to go wrong, and as other teams began to work out his 4-2-2-2 system results suffered, fans suffered and his mentor Kenny Dalglish was called on to sort it all out , which he did by steadying the ship a little and handing over the reigns to Martin O’Neill, which then led to a remarkable period on the clubs history , and so perhaps the contribution of Barnes wasn;t that bad after all…..but he could leave the racism bit out….Tony Mowbray, Lou Macari and Liam Brady, amongst others, proved that longevity and patience are not afforded to Celtic managers of the results aren’t there…
 Of those three, one was a great Celtic player, one a great captain who gave us the now iconic huddle, having played through a terrible personal period in his life, and the other an Irish legend , and they got probably more stick than even Barnes during their time at the helm.
 Barnes simply needs to stop blaming others, and when he does that , he might even get another crack at management.
 Not at Celtic, of course, fuck that, but somewhere else.
  In one of life’s great coincidences, another Glasgow club was accused of being right wing this week….
Image
 However, that article didn’t last long, as someone , somewhere , demanded it’s removal….
Image
 We hear that certain influential right wing individuals were embarrassed by the association with the Ibrox club/company and threatened legal action…..

 The last one is my favourite Thatcher pic….it’s how I’ll always remember her.
 Speaking of right wing nut jobs, after a statue of Winston Churchill was daubed with the word “racist “, largely due to the fact that anyone who has read a real book about the fat drunk would be unable to argue the point, those concerned with the cenotaph in glasgow mobilised to protect it.
  Image
 It’s not clear who they are protecting it from, or, indeed why, but it gets them out of the house, I suppose.
 Finally, there’s something that investigative journalists can get their teeth into….if Rangers are currently playing in the Premier League, and they’re the club with fifty four titles to their name, then who are this lot BDO are talking about ?

First you were outraged, you were horrified
Kept shouting we could never live without a ‘Raynjurz’ side
But we spent so many nights thinking how you did us wrong
And we grew strong
While you f*cked off where you belong
Into the grave, you joined the queue
You found Gretna and Third Lanark waiting there for you
We should have known that stupid huns would think that ‘Raynjurz’ had survived
When we saw all those thick skulls with pea-sized brains rattling inside

Now off you go
F*ck off Sevco
Don’t hurry back now
You’re not Rangers any more
Weren’t you the ones who tried to kid us with your lies?
Your stick-on stars?
Your made-up ‘gaun fur 55’?
Oh Rangers lied
And Rangers died
We know all about those EBTs they tried to hide
They had all that tax to pay
And Hector wouldn’t go away
So Rangers lied
And Rangers died
Hurray!

It takes all the strength we have not to split our sides
Every time we hear a zombie say they never died
And you’ve spent so many nights feeling sorry for yourselves
You used to cry
But now it’s statements full of sh*te
And we can see one thing is true
You’re still the same old rancid huns that followed Rangers too
And so you thought you’d run up debts like the old club to win the league?
Well, now you’re heading for skid row and like the old club you’ll be deid

So off you go…

The UK government has always claimed it is following “the science”. Look at this. 16th March saw 41 UK deaths, 17th, 38 more, 18th, 53 more, 19th 50 more. Yet those same days saw the government permit a quarter of a million people (over 4 days)to attend the Cheltenham Festival,a gathering much beloved by Hooray Henrys and the Tory establishment. What ‘science’ advised nearly 60,000 people a day to mingle over 4 days while people all around were dying in increasing numbers. ‘Science’ my arse, it’s called greed and privilege.It would be interesting to know how many more people died because Cheltenham went ahead?

Congratulations to Jerimie and Odsonne on their well deserved awards. The Celtic team of late have played brilliantly, subsequently they all deserve every accolade and recognition of how well they played, if any two were to win the “Young Player and Overall Writers Player of the year awards” then they two young men were fully deserving of their awards. Its great to see the team bond so well and stand behind each other. Love the new Addidas kit. Do they need a virtual steward next season? if so count me in. Celtic-;-) < 9-10

Turnbull Hutton- (no relation in any way to Alan), received a suspicious package at his Edinburgh home. Following police advice he took the parcel outside and into his garden. He opened the parcel gingerly removing its covering to reveal the contents. Inside he found a porcelain mug and a key ring, both inscribed with “The SPL is like a dead parrot”, he laughed out loud with a sense of relief. This plain spoken man cut through the mendacious bullshit and exposed Scottish football and its tribal associations. He became our hero and a focus of common sense. The SFA- SPL in their rush to rescue the DEAD club and its Zombie support, clung on tightly to the bigot-blue-pound. Showing their true colours and losing all sense of integrity, fairness and honesty. Scottish football for me and many others will never be the same again. A sport we cherished has been tainted with dishonesty, forcing us to question why we should follow the club of our choice. Turnbull Hutton shone his torch on the dirty under belly of Scottish football. RIP.

Mike, it’s what makes Res 12, and also the application of the rules regarding awarding the opposition a 3-0 victory for every game played with illegally registered players, so vitally important. And then applying this to each game played, and each stolen title/trophy ‘won’, by the new huns’ ‘parent’. Those are the rules. “Title stripping” is nothing but an emotional misnomer; it’s merely applying the rules. We shouldn’t rest until that’s done.
NB, with that honest application, we’re going for about 60 and they died on 54, ‘lest they forget’. Fukkin scum.

Celtic will be up against all and sundry in our quest firc10 in a row.
Last season we had a stupid amount of away games compared to home. This stupid fiasco of so called computerised fixtures has to stop.
All the chiefs should be in discussion to make sure that when supporters are allowed back every team has the same number of home games to play. This is the only fair way to ensure supporters get back from putting their money into something which just isn’t right.
Peter make sure we dont get shafted.
