\u00a0The media have begun to pile pressure on Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou. They couldn’t believe their luck as Hearts, inspired by Ibrox loannee Bobby Madden, scraped a 2-1 win on their return to the top flight.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Even without Madden, the iron discipline of the Edinburgh side would probably have seen them through, as they committed only four..check it…fouls during the whole game despite only having around 25 per cent possession on the whole game.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That should be applauded…although there’s a sneaking suspicion that Madden was behind that as well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Curiously, the BBC, having brought back Sportscene from the new season even though bo one watches it, failed to mention the challenge on MacGregor by Halliday, although they did agree that the offside goal should have stood.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There’s talk that Halliday may yet receive a retrospective red card for his dirty deed, which interestingly would take the total of red card offences missed and corrected retrospectively by Madden to five.<\/p>\n
Four of which were offences committed on Celtic players, and one by a ” rangers” player in another game.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thats kind of…well…interesting.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The media though, can concentrate on Ange, who hasn’t had much luck somce the competitve stuff started.<\/p>\n
We’re out of Europe due to a sending off..which was stupid on the part of Biton and a moment of inspiration..or a mistake…depending on how you look at it…because quite simply that tue could have been finished in the firat leg.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And should have been.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The league game was down to an influential performance by Madden.<\/p>\n
Which won’t make the papers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Neither will the story about Ibrox not displaying the name of the new league sponsors\u00a0 ..which again affects all of us as businesses will ignore any entity that refuses to honour\u00a0 a contract. With those at Ibrox ignoring that sort of thing since the company’s inception in 2012, largely due to a lack of punishment, a repeat was always on the cards.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Perhaps the SPFL should threaten to withhold prize money.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s\u00a0 a major story, and there’s little doubt the sponsors will be furious. Perhaps they’ll withhold money…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All.of which should get the other clubs onside against the rogue company pretending to be a 150 year old club.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Maybe an intrepid hack could ask them what they think.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But of course, theres a Postecoglou to pick on and pressurise, amd they know that if they keep pushing, Celtic fans will be become divided..as you’ll see in the responses to this piece.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Even those who saybwe should criticise the board ..and we should..will find a platform in the media.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For now though?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s our turn to circle the wagons, even around the board.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yes they’ve fucked up monumentally and it’s their decisons that have left us vulnerable to these attacks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But now is not the time. When that time comes I’ll happily join in the executions, but not until then<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If we accept we have to give the manager time to get it right, we must also accept that the board must be given a chamce to rectify theirs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We’ve got enough enemies without turning on ourselves<\/p>\n
