<\/p>\nWhat was all the fuss about ?<\/p>\n
Celtic clinched five in a row and sit twelve points ahead of nearest challengers Aberdeen.<\/p>\n
Like we knew they would, despite one or two hiccoughs along the way.<\/p>\n
I watched it on a stream,,,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I wasn’t the only one to think that we might be missing something now that Deila is away, but the game itself showed why, despite all the promise that is there, Deila is man enough to realise, that he isn’t the man to take us to the next level.<\/p>\n
Not for the first time this season, an energetic first half performance saw Celtic storm into an early lead, which was added to almost immediately after the break, and the three goal cushion at that point looked like a launching pad for the Dons to take a proper kicking, a psychologocal blow that would break the teams spirirt, and reduce them to a quivering wreck ahead of next seasons games between the two.<\/p>\n
But, as so often this term, the hoops let them back into the game, and whilst there was never any danger of not being confirmed champions yesterday, it was the home side who might still have doubts about their abilities.<\/p>\n
Ronny came to us with some great ideas, some of which should be carried on by the next guy, but ultimately, it seems he let the tail wag the dog too often,and failed to mark out the distance between himself and the players, and as Brian Clough found out at Leeds all those years ago, some players think they don’t need to be managed…<\/p>\n
You just know he’ll be back, in charge of one of our European opponents one day.<\/p>\n
Apart from that game, we wish him luck.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Still, on the day, , at least until half time, a good time \u00a0was had by all, with the crowd and the players in unison, and everyone thoroughly enjoying themselves. The Sun shone, much to the distress of those who prefer to watch their football from underneath a pile of jackets and scarves, and the no to summer football brigade must surely look at the positives of this , and at least give it a go for a couple of seasons.<\/p>\n
The justice for the 96 people said thank you, and there were more than a few damp eyes in the house as Celtic fans paraded around the ground, holding \u00a0a banner to express solidarity.<\/p>\n

From the Liverpool Echo:<\/p>\n
Survivor Kenny Derbyshire, of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, told the ECHO: \u201cIt\u2019s very humbling and we feel honoured – it\u2019s a big show of solidarity. Supporters have stood together and we\u2019ve been overwhelmed.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t have done it without their support. I was at Celtic Park on the day of the memorial game – it was absolutely brilliant. We were made so welcome I will never forget it.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cPeople came up to us afterwards and offered us somewhere to stay and put us up for the night.\u201d \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Louise Agnew added a photo and comment on twitter which summed it all up for many;<\/p>\n Most emotional YNWA for a long time!!! Liverpool fans, you’ve never walked alone!!! <\/span> Football supporters together for a righteous cause. Nothing Finer.<\/p>\n Celtic Graves unveiled this plaque at the site of the old Celtic Park, a marvellous move which helps us all remember the history we sing of;<\/p>\n This photo comes from Gary, on twitter.<\/p>\n Celts now look ahead to Perth, and a game against St. Johnstone, before rounding up with a third celebration when the league trophy is prised from Neil Doncasters hands at the weekend.<\/p>\n Leigh Grifiths didn’t get his fortieth goal against the dons, and will not feature against motherwell, so he’ll be all out to secure it on Wednesday, and I wouldn’t bet against him.<\/p>\n However, he’s looking long term at achieving consistency, rather than a one off good season;<\/p>\n \u201cI have had a good season \u2013 but the mark of great players isn\u2019t that you do it over one season, it is that you do it consistently. That is where it is hard \u2013 doing it again and again, season after season. But that is what I want to do. I want to get myself into this position every season.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI changed so much But I did it because I had to. The gaffer made it clear to me that if I wanted to play then there were certain things I had to do, so I screwed the head, knuckled down and done them. I try hard not to eat junk. I eat loads of meat and protein and I did that to put on muscle, to be lean and to build strength. My aim, as it was all of the lads at the start of the season, was to get down below 10% body fat and I done that. It took loads of hard work but I feel the best I have ever felt physically and mentally.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n And there was recognition for the manager who inspired him…<\/p>\n He deserves this He has been nothing but positive even when things weren\u2019t going our way. He always tried to look on the bright side and today typifies that. We stuck together as a team and got the result in the end.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Our two biggest successes on the field as title 5 was secured were Griffiths, and Keiran Tierney, both of who played the way and behaved the way they were told.<\/p>\n Maybe one or two others should take note.<\/p>\n Anyway, its done now, and the new man will soon get a chance to impose his personality and methods on the team, and there is something there to build on, and not something to sweep through and change.<\/p>\n We could do with having at least one year that won’t be described as a year of transition.<\/p>\n Speaking of the new man, the Sunday Post ran a story yesterday that it will be Roy Keane-with a \u00a315m transfer budget.<\/p>\n Wish we’d though of that ….<\/p>\n With Celtic securing five in a row, the Daily Record couldn’t wait to congratulate the club, with this back page splash..<\/p>\n No mention of it…<\/p>\n According to Gordon Waddell, one of their intrepid investigators, this is the north eastern regional issue, and not the one intended for the streets of Glasgow.<\/p>\n This is the Glasgow edition, full of positivity and praise…<\/p>\n Tomorrow there will be an eight page pull out to salute the champions.<\/p>\n Are those ribbons on the trophy red ?<\/p>\n Hasn’t anyone told them…or are they in denial ?<\/p>\n They do that a lot, you know.<\/p>\n Over the weekend the report by the Offshore Game went, as they say in cyberspace, viral, and hacks were bombarded with requests for comments, action or even acknowledgement..<\/p>\n Boy, when this story hits the newstands, and it will, just not via the Scottish Press, are they going to look stupid.<\/p>\n Okay, even more stupid.<\/p>\n On their doorsteps are accusations of impropriety at the highest level, and not one of them is interested.<\/p>\n Although Darren Cooney, online editor at the Record, did have the balls to admit he found it interesting, and seemed to get the point..<\/p>\n Found it an interesting read.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n It’s not Rangers that interest me but allegations against our governing body. Got to go now<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n It’s because I love game I want FIFA\/UEFA and its national associations to be 100% clean.Maybe they are but refute allegations<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n The abuse he got for that might give us some idea of why certain papers aren’t going to run with it, which is shameful enough, but it also indicates that the perception of the Resolution 12 issue has become somewhat distorted, and has been subtly turned into a Celtic -rangers issue, which, of course it isn’t.<\/p>\n The first step for any newspaper-or radio\/tv station-must surely be to examine the complaint, then examine the evidence, and finally lay it all out for the public to decide.<\/p>\n A little bit of courage may be needed, but surely if they want to sell papers , then at least try to encourage openness and integrity within the game, and if these allegations prove to be wrong, (aye, okay ) then surely the SFA must be forced into comment, as the continued silence merely suggests they are guilty.<\/p>\n Radio Clydes Superscorebored host Howlin hugh keevins asked someone to summarise the issue on twitter.<\/p>\n I replied that if he let me on the show, I would.<\/p>\n He didn’t, unsurprisingly, reply. Having earlier described the issue as a “legal minefield “, the traditional get out clause for those who either haven’t got a clue how to present an argument to the public, or have a dirty great space between their legs where their balls should be, Keevins ignored the issue after that, which mirrors the attitude of the media up there.<\/p>\n Quite how simply discussing allegations and asking someone who represents the body facing \u00a0those allegations for comment is a legal minefield is beyond me, and probably everyone else, but from his position under the bed with the lights out, Keevins is clearly waiting until the big bad monster goes away.<\/p>\n Sorry, Hugh, it isn’t going away, but for all of you in the media who are ignoring it might just be a good idea to start drafting a resignation letter, because I think gross negligence of duty is as good a reason as any for finding a p45 in your pay poke.<\/p>\n Even if these allegations are wrong, the public has a right to know what the SFA say about them.<\/p>\n Don’t forget, the Offshore Game report is merely the latest in a long list of accusers, and that list will grow even longer-actually, it already is.<\/p>\n Either the Scottish press do it, or someone else will.<\/p>\n They’ve had four years, now it maybe is time to let proper journalists deal with it….<\/p>\n On a lighter note, here’s todays caption competition, becuas I’ve just noticed what time it is and I have to go…<\/p>\n Follow us on Twitter @etimsnet<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What was all the fuss about ?
