Due to a lack of actual news from Celtic Park, we’ve taken a wander around the back streets of the city and spoken to a few of our more, er, credible contacts, and one of them in particular had a tale to tell…<\/p>\n

One of our pish stained contacts , during a yoga session, even he’s bored during lockdown,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Drunk<\/p>\n

told us that the BBC have struck a deal behind closed doors with the board at “rangers ” means they will push for an independent investigation into footballs governing bodies, and the walls of ibrox will no longer be forbidding to slavish BBC hacks.<\/p>\n

Whether or not it’s true I have no idea, but there does seem to be a bit of urgency pushed by the likes of Tom English, so one cannot be entirely dismissive.<\/p>\n

He also said that Celtic are interested in signing Patrick Roberts from wherever he is now, and an offer of \u00a33m has been made.<\/p>\n

Again, I’d take that with a pinch of salt, but the player does seem to still have pals at Celtic, as this reply to an instagram picture shows…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, there is a drawback to any potential move, but if no one tells him Keiran Tierney is out on loan at Arsenal, we should be okay.<\/p>\n

Moritz Bauer will be headed back to Stoke soon, if he hasnt gone already. He didn’t impress during his sojourn in the city, and he’s going to see who else he can’t impress before his lucrative contract runs out in 2023.<\/p>\n

Nice work if you can get it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, BT sport have been running a poll to decide the greatest team of all, and Celtic 1966-67 were up against Barcelona of whenever it was, though it doesn’t matter…..<\/p>\n

\u00a0Hard to argue with, given the background and achievements of that team, compared to the money spent these days winning the top prize.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0However, “rangers ” have demanded an investigation into the board at BT, amid claims that some people were telling their mates about it and getting them to vote for Celtic.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0We also hear that several Ibrox fans are cancelling their subscriptions and will march on the studios as soon as they can find out where they are.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Maybe they do have a point of sorts, although their willingness to protest at the drop of a sash somewhat lessens their credibility, and as the SFa and SPFL can see that dividing the two biggest sets of supporters in the country means that they at least aren’t arguing with them, the divid et imperia policy adopted by the British empire from Philip of Macedonia that was later perfected by the Romans.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Aye, this isn’t your normal website, it’s run by intelligent and educated people. When their spellchecker works, that is. and I’ll prove it was the spellchecker in due course….<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0So, in order to help the hordes bring down the SFA\/SPFL cabal, i’ve got some info that could help show just how corrupt and self serving those organisations really are…and it’s in an easy to read picture format as well, which even they will understand.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Eventually.<\/div>\n

\u00a0Speaking of Ibrox, we hear they may be looking at the wisdom of employing David Young, the DUP councillor brought in to appeal to the lowest common denominator in the support to encourage the weeping and a-wailing we’ve noted on the interweb.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0It hasn’t worked, and so the powers that be may well be looking into altering his contractual status. In that at the moment he has one, and soon he won’t.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Aha ! The spellchecker strikes again.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As it did yesterday when George Young, the former head of the SFA who really had it in for the Irish tricolour, was published as George Young, instead of George Young.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The same thing is happening to David Young, which is appears to come out as David Young.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’ll get it fixed, hopefully before we do a review of Young Poll’s book on refereeing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Speaking of the SFA, they have updated everyone on how things stand at the moment with regard to football….<\/div>\n
