It seems the Times are hell bent on finding a scapegoat in their current reportage on the “malicious prosecution ” story…
The officer who led a disastrous police investigation into the takeover of Rangers FC was openly partisan and appeared determined to pursue those he regarded as enemies of the club he supported, witnesses have claimed.
Detective Chief Inspector Jim Robertson, 54, was tasked with leading the inquiry into allegations of fraud linked to the collapse and sale of the Ibrox club.
This year the Court of Session found that he had behaved in an “intimidatory and threatening” way, had given evidence that was “patently untrue” and had conducted himself in a “reprehensible” manner.
Instead of looking at those who have cost the taxpayer millions and millions of pounds and investigating the events that led to that, they’re blaming the policeman who tried to get to the bottom of it.
One can only wonder why, and why now ?
There’s an email awaiting a reply on the desk of the times editor.
Before commenting, let’s give him a chance to answer.
Steve Clarke turned up at Hampden last night in time for Scotland’s world cup play off, but frankly got little else right.
His formation and selection allowed the Ukraine to overrrun his charges, and by the time he realised he’d made an arse of it and tried to correct it, it was too late.
Scotland will miss out on another World Cup, which is depressingly familiar, but on the bright side, Celtic missed out on having Clarke as a manager, so it’s not all bad.
His insistence on playing duds from the EPL should signal the end of his tenure, and the inclusion of inexperienced players such as Gilmour and Hickey for such a high profile tie was inexplicable, and don;t get me started on Lyndon Dykes, who has made a career out of bullying Chris Jullien…
Celtic supporters often moan about the amount of caps given to the Lisbon Lions, only 113 or so in total.
What is not taken into account is that manager jock Stein wasn’t overly keen on his players being involved with Scotland, and would often withdraw them from squads, especially if there was, and there often was, an important European game ahead.
With international football even more of a dead duck these days, there’s another leaf for ange Postecoglou to take out of the great man’s book.
Meanwhile, the papers need their stories…. The Record proclaims….

The media are desperate for a story about a Celtic player leaving, and conversely , when a “rangers ” player signs a new deal, they get all gooey….
Connor Goldson admits Rangers winning addiction as he
makes title vow after signing new contract
The defender looked to be heading for the Ibrox exit with his deal set to expire but he delighted fans by penning an extension
With two trophies in four years, one would think he’d conquered this particular addiction.
Goldson had more or less made it clear he was leaving, and sat back to wait for offers that matched his talent. It seems he may have misjudged his own appeal.
There is no mention of what they are paying him, but it will be significant. That means he will probably be alongside John Soutar at the heart of their defence next year, especially given that they’re touting Calvin Bassey.
But it’s a hell of a contract, whatever way you look at it…. as Goldson himself says…
“I said last year that I wanted to stay and try and win 56 and 57.
I’m thinking a contract that takes him up to 2079 at the earliest shows incredible commitment, from both club/company and player.
Yesterday, we had this…

Look into the role of The Speculative Society in how Scotland is really run rather than how you’re told it’s run and David Murray’s high, if not highest, ranking position in it.
I’ve mentioned this before but none of you want to believe it for some odd reason, preferring instead to believe the BBC and other trashy MSM lies.
And I can guarantee you yer man fae The Times won’t mention The Speculative Society in his reply to you, Ralph, should he even deign to bother.
Maybe you should send another email asking him specifically how much influence this mob have in Scotland and, indeed, if he himself is a member.
That should get his hackles up.
It certainly works every time they’re mentioned on here.
And I can guarantee you yer man fae The Times won’t mention The Speculative Society in his reply to you, Ralph, should he even deign to bother.

The diary has taken a weird turn these past few days.
Pouring tea and sympathy for malicious prosecutors, bent cops and judges.
If the concern is for the public purse then these staunch Rangers men have already cost us £40m.
That might be more than the Deadies did and certainly will be by the final reckoning (some estimates put it as high as £100m (gulp)).
Either way, all of these are bad guys who deserve public ridicule, censure and, hopefully, non-malicious prosecution.
Yes D&P were probably dodgy as well but if you set Real Rangers Men against them, then the public is going to see it’s bill doubled if not tripled.
Oh, and let’s not forget Liquidators BDO who set this whole shitshow (the malicious prosecutions) in motion.
We’re coming up to the 10th anniversary of Rangers (IL) and still no nearer to an end, while they still suck on the teat of the public purse.
Well said.
They’ll point at anyone lower down the ladder to prevent the fingers pointing at them so it’s no surprise the dumb cop takes the fall as their patsy, with a full pension of course, though I’m surprised Ralph is buying into this clearly fake narrative.
To see the truth of a thing you have to look at it from every angle and not just the one or two diversionary shots we get in the media.
But didn’t Murray owe the public purse £168 million alone?
That means the taxpayer has already forked out over £200 million while Murray got to cherrypick the most lucrative parts of Murray International Metals for himself, sorry, ‘his family’, before handing over the dross to the liquidators …
Yet some still believe that Freemasonry doesn’t run Scotland when Murray has, er, walked away Scot Free ..?
*Hector’s £168 million was a mere fraction of the £880 million MIM owed to various companies & creditors.
But they’ll all get away with it, just like I said at the time.
In every cabal every one must pay up to those who sit at the top of the tree and Freemasonry is no different.
Hadn’t seen your amended post when I responded. But totally outrageous that this guy can still walk (shuffle) the streets.
No bother, Henke, it’s not a competition.
But Murray’s never been mentioned ONCE by anyone in the media as the main culprit in the whole affair and that fact alone should tell us all we’ll ever need to know about who really runs the the media, in both Scotland and every other country.
Murray and his failed companies cost the taxpayer close to £1bn. Yet kept his title and profitable part of his grubby empire. Should be in the jail.
I think the Deady Bears tax bill was ratcheted down to under £50m by the Languid Liquidators.
Probably dubiously but that’s on a par with what’s been paid out for the malicious prosecutions so far but these are likely to cost far more in the end.
Who knows what jiggery pokery is really going on behind the scenes?
These guys would do anything to ensure they make a buck out of it.
No matter how much they made it he still owed it.
They could have cut it down to a pound if they liked but he still owed 168 million to the taxman.
You see here, Cha, this is a perfect example of when you were a better man, when us two could have a sensible conversation together without you demeaning yourself by attacking my mental health at every turn …

I used to have a name that the spam filter didn’t like and changed it rarely get moderated now
There’s a LOAD of innocuous everyday words the filter doesn’t like.
Strin gs, for example, which it doesn’t mind in the singular but not plural and too many others to count.
I copy the pots before sending then weed out the ‘bad’ word but it’s a laborious process and a ridiculous way to run an open forum, when the posters can’t even have a conversation for being censored for no good reason at all.
Hmm …
Cheers, Drew.
I tried to tell you that we can’t write the words G O L D or Sa bo ta ge either but even my separating the letters saw my pots thrown into moderation 😀
*Post.
First commonwealth games on a live stream
I think moderated posts don’t see the light of day until the next article is published, that means they go largely unread, which is a shame.
Its a lottery as to what is moderated, sometimes swear words, although other times they’re ok, sometimes excessive punctuation but other times allowed etc.
There’s also good moderation to try to filter out the tinfoil hat lunacy to keep it readable.
Ha, I replied but its stuck in moderation. 🙁

The real culprits Ralph are the Establishment in Scotland that has bent over to support the vermin. Orange Wanks seen as normal, but anything to do with Ireland, the famine St Paddy’s day ignored.so it has been for centuries as they sing about what they perceive as history, but known as banter by the Scottish Police, the media and the Government.
The previous puppet master at the original Rangersgot away with murder, the current incumbents of Sevco land are doing much the same, but it is seen as good for the Scottish game. The Scottish match on Sky last night was treated as a Sevco game, Sally singing the praises, as the living dead prattled on about garbage.
Don’t know if it helps but I’ve sometimes found if you post as a REPLY to someone (not always easy in itself) it squeaks through for some reason. Agree that the whole forum needs an overhaul though – how about it Ralph?
Good call, Owen, but it’s all about certain innocuous words.
I’m only back on a few days and already have around five posts in moderation.
It’s a real shame as this is still the one of the two best Tic sites around.
Gold, sabotage, strings. Just checking – I have a theory that there is a special filter just for you, Gringo!
Joking aside, I’m not against moderation if it stops people going off on a mad rant (you know the type Gringo) but who’s going to give up their time to do it? As a result we’re stuck with the automatic filter which nobody can figure out and which breaks up the flow of conversation. Can’t it be switched off?
Another point – I couldn’t give a toss personally but the voting system seems to either wind people up (Tic Toc) or completely befuddle them (just about everybody else). Can’t we just get rid of it?
Anyway, that’s my blueprint for an ‘improved etims experience’!!! Even the best tim site can always get better – as someone somewhere said, we never stop.
Er, I think we got here due to an overhaul, perhaps we need an underthaul.
A Neanderthal? But then it would just be another Hun site.
I think the ‘girls’ in the picture have enough underthauls for all of us.

On reflection, it looks like all those ‘gals’ aren’t quite what they’re making out to be as their knees look like somebody’s been battering them with hammers.

They’d do anything for the shiny shiny that mob.

Said Lizzie to Phillip as they sat down to dine,
I’ve just had a note from an old friend of mine,
His name is ‘Big Geordie’ he’s loyal and true,
And his dirty big nose is a light shade of blue.
He says that the Rangers are right on their game,
And ask for a trophy to add to their fame,
I’ll send up a cup that the Rangers can win,
Said Phillip to Liz watch the Celts don’t step in.
Said Lizzie to Phillip they don’t stand a chance,
I’ll send up my Gunners to lead them a dance,
With Celtic defeated the way will be clear,
A cup for the Rangers in my crowning year.
But alas for their hopes for the loyal true blues,
The Celts beat the Gunners and Manchester too,
Beat Hibs in the final and oh what a scene,
Sure Hampden was covered in banners of green.
Said Lizzie to Phillip when she heard the grim news,
A blow has been struck at our loyal true blues,
Oh tell me dear Phillip and you ought to know,
How to keep Glasgow Celtic defeated below.
Said Phillip to Lizzie there’s only one way,
I’ve known of their secret for many a day,
To keep the Celts down you will have to deport,
The whole Fenian army that gives them support.

“Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning.
They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers.
Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening.
Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance.”

Posted a reply to you using your ‘banned’ words to prove it was you who was the problem not the words. Went straight into the moderation black hole and hasn’t reappeared! So much for that theory!

But publish his carp anyway – I like taking the mackerel out of him.

The reason no one here can answer the question on the difference between Conspiracy & Corruption is because it’s a trick question, as there is no difference …
A conspiracy is juts two or more people plotting to con others for their own gain.
Now you see, Doughball and yer decrepit auld pal, I had to answer the question for ye.
And I didn’t need to go to university to learn it, much as I didn’t need their poxy lies to help me figure out any other stuff in life either.

Oh, you two fools DO amuse me so …
So here’s how events actually play out every time you come on here: 1. You goad everyone suggesting that you and you alone are the one source of truth. But not on matters Celtic (wee clue in the blog title) but on stuff David Icke would tell you that that’s a bit rich GTF. 2. You portray yourself as a victim when in fact you are usually the perp. 3. You relish in your banned status as a badge of honour like a brain dead man’s Donald Trump. 4. I can’t be ersed. This is a convivial, pretty well informed forum for people who want to enjoy the craic. And if you spell check this I win a tenner. Unleash the thumbs.
😀
So here’s how events play out every time I come on here:
I begin by commenting sensibly on the article Ralph has written regarding either the fitba or the endemic corruption engendered by the 5 Way Agreement.
Then there’s a few sensible exchanges with other reasonably minded posters, which seems to annoy the two guys who have a problem with me no end.
These two antagonistic blowhards then begin a barrage of insults thrown my way the act like two wee lassies running and hiding behind their mammies’ skirts when I respond in kind.
(Typical shitebag gang minded behaviour.)
When they realise I’m laughing at their stupidity they ratchet up the insults and so the full scale abuse begins, targeting my educational background which I’ve openly shared with them, and then they start attacking the alleged instability of my mental health, which truly is the lowest of the low and something you don’t even see on the Hun sites.
Yet somehow it’s not these abusers of the allegedly sick who get banned from the site but me myself, every time, simply for defending myself against these gang stalking cowards.
Now if anyone here thinks abusing the mentally ill is ‘the Celtic Way’ do let us know in the comments.
That way the rest of the readers can see just how vile minded these clowns are and maybe such recognition will help Ralph & Desi so who the real problems are on this once fine fitba site, mates or not.
Cheers.
Okay let’s get things straight. I posted a vaguely ‘humorous’ comment about moderation (something you yourself had been moaning about) to JimboH. It took the form of a series of fish puns because that’s a private joke between JimboH and I, something he and Christina would confirm except they avoid the site (like so many others do) when your name appears – perhaps you should reflect on that. You stuck your oar in and for some reason took offence to the fishy puns!!! I have no idea why. You arty-farty types are all too sensitive if you ask me.
Now tell us again what your ‘tutor’ at ‘university’ told you about Hieronymous Bosch. You remember – he was the guy you said you’d never heard of before suddenly remembering you had studied him while doing art history at university. Wikipedia took a pounding that day, didn’t it?
Honestly Gringo, you’re so cretinously stupid it’s almost criminal to take advantage of you on here. Buy yourself a new rubber girlfriend and give the blog a break.
PS If Ralph or Desi choose to ban me, I’ll take it like a man – it’s their blog. But I won’t start greetin like a big jessie and asking for others to be banned as well. If you can’t stand the heat…
Hahaha, you really do amuse me so, saddo.
‘Take it like a man’ …
Getting barred aff the site! 😀
I’ve been barred from here more times than you’ve had hot dinners, Jessie 😀
And what you talking about, Jimboh showed up under his ‘Nadir of ‘Chiftniess’ (sic) moniker THE SAME DAY I came back on …
You can see his post right under mine.
Are you blind or what?
And really, Owen, you gotta let my Hieronymous Bosch joke go.
I know it made you look like a f@nny, which admittedly isn’t hard to do, but you need to try and get over it, man up a bit, it was months ago now …
The thing is, I agree with you. In this blog alone I’ve been called a cripple (wheelchair reference), an auld fart, a clown, a w*nker and full of sh*t. Then there’s a blowhard, a coward, a sh*tebag, a wee lassie and a vile abuser of the mentally ill. In addition, someone made the scurrilous suggestion that Cha pays whores for sex. There’s definitely a problem with abusive posters on here – if only we could identify the culprit! Any ideas Gringo?

Duncan, since you’re here, could you ask James what he thinks of my challenging him to a debate?
I’ve intimated this to him on numerous occasions over this past week but he refuses to answer me, preferring instead to give my challenge the old Cold Shoulder treatment, but. as Dave King proves, we all know that stuff doesn’t work at all and I’d prefer he gave me a reply one way or the other.
So could you ask him if he’s up for a proper debate with ol’ Green Machine rather than running and hiding behind his moderation filters?

This is part of a larger study into how the Internet and its various attractions and detractions have influenced people’s behaviour through the use of certain simple words alone, and how they respond to them.
(Ralph has all of this on record should you doubt me.)
I’ve covered humour, sentiment, bullying and abuse, hoping to find a way through these challenges for the older generation before we venture this next ‘New World’ version of both space and Time as we think we know them, but which this experiment has proven we don’t.
Of course I’m not always in experimental mode, as the art project itself finished around 18 months ago, and I like to come on juts to shoot the breeze with the lads, but I can’t help but spot the indiscrepancies in the sudden vehement attacks of those most triggered by some of the key words and attitudes proffered during the study.
I appreciate all of you for participating, as I made this plain to everyone, as I say a, a good 4 or 5 years ago, but for the newcomers like ‘Owen Mullions‘ et al I can only say that you should have been here earlier, as you’ve somewhat missed the point and therefore lack the intuition to either understand or read the subtleties of the humour and laughter contained in the overall narrative.
Ralph & the Bhoys should be extremely proud of themselves in allowing the space for such a Grand Projet to be utilised on their own pages and their ability to recognise and admit such an endeavour is something that is truly considered worthy of some note if not even a certain level of redemption.
For on an exceptionally intelligent fitba blog could such a project ever hope to have bee realised and for that I thank these Bhoys mightily, and all of you who have wittingly or unwittingly taken part.
Aye, only on a true Celtic blog could such a thing ever have hoped to have been realised.

Proving ye don’t need to go to art school to know how to run an art project.
And I didn’t just tell Ralph, I told everyone on the page and they all willingly participated in it, newcomers aside …
Now would you like a digestive with yer tea, Owen, seeing as I’ve just done you up like a kipper ..?
Am I the only one in here who read this and picture you incessantly bashing away at a keyboard inside an empty aquarium tank wearing nothing but a snorkel and a thin layer of Streaky Bacon for a wet suit ?

For those of who you fail to grasp the concept, it’s a Humanities project combining art & sociology.
Unfortunately, in the 7 or 8 years it’s been running I’ve found very little true Humanity in it indeed …
Instead I’ve had to endure continuous abusive assaults upon the state of my mental health, with much of this, unfortunately, at the hands of Celtic fans, so called ‘rebels’ who claim to seek the truth but who only then explode in indignant fury when the real truth is presented to them.
So don’t take it so bad, lads, this site at le had the balls to allow the experimental art piece and overall, study to continue and at least you’ve had the privilege of having this mirror I’ve presented before you to allow you the space to reflect on who and why you truly are the way you are, thereby allowing you the room for reflection in which to improve upon your failings.
And not everyone gets that.
What a tsunami of self-pitying tripe! Drivel even by your own lamentable standards. Obsessively copy and pasting pretentious crap from the bowels of the internet and passing it off as your own has done nothing to convince anyone of your basic intelligence let alone your sanity (earth still flat is it?). If I were you, I’d get in touch with my alma mater the University of Google to demand a refund of my tuition fees as you remain irredeemably thick. Since you appear to be a big girl’s blouse when it comes to taking criticism, ask your Mammy to go with you and tell them how the big boys are still laughing at you and calling you names.

Thankfully I think the torrent of nonsense the other day about his ‘art project’ looks like his latest sign off before the men in white coats arrive. If you want to engage with an abusive flat earther, knock yourself out but where were you this week when he cleared out the comments section quicker than a dose of covid? This is a fitba blog ffs not a social work department – if the guy has problems, seek professional help don’t impose them on everybody else.
