I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

So little time, so many Garden jokes…

How does that Travis song SIDE go again?

That the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbours got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out you wanna stay alive

Never let it be said we didnt acknowledge our friends on the south sides torment…

The lunatics are trying to take over the asylum right enough.
I always felt this would make a good movie, then I realized that George Romero had already done it..”Dawn Of The Dead”. It dealt with zombies returning to a shopping mall..one of the characters in the movie asked why they did that and another character said “they don’t know, it’s just something deep in their subconscious memory that tells them they used to be happy here”.
The comparison is obvious isn’t it?

One of my all-time favourite movies Funkyy, but I don’t think the genius that is George A. Romero would even have dared script and direct the real zombie movie that is unfolding before our eyes.

Brad Pitt didn’t choose Glesga toon for ‘World War Z’ for nothing you know.

Brad knew zombie extras were plentiful in Glesga.

This is better than fiction and it rumbles on gloriously. The delusional nature of this young club defies all credibility. More seriously, the law breaking, secret deals, opaqueness, incompetence, stupidity and greed of all involved is also beyond funny. Where are the police, bank bosses, SFA, SPFL and financial regulators oh yes and the free press? Murray through to Ashley and the various ex-cons all vying for control of this shambles is wonderful to watch and a warning to us about how Scotland works. Still think titles and cups “won” by old Huns be declared null and void and runners up awarded them since an unfair advantage was achieved due to illegal payments to coaches, directors and players. Anyway hope they just disappear 🙂

It is well to remember our own club is somewhat compromised too by their inordinate silence.

You are on a right roll just now. The imagination is running wild in the gardens of Deadwood. The gunfight at the “Ibrox Corral” (Phil McGiolla Bhain) appears to be drawing to an end with many Green outlaws lying in the dust. I think there are many others that were seriously injured but have not yet been laid to rest in the Green and Whyte grass of home. I hope Ally and Co. can manage flower beds better than football players. Mind you, £750 grand for lying in the sun for a year is not a bad bit of planting.

You have really caught the MAGIC of the moment,
and the mood of the Celtic nation !
