The New Celtic Manager Identikit
Posted by: | CommentsIs It a Bird? Is It A Plane?
Until Gordon Strachan’s successor is found there will be a continuous stream of media speculation, like we get at any transfer window, if not more so.
So instead of indulging in the game of Owen Coyle, Mark McGhee etc..etc why don’t we try and put together a ‘Celtic Manager Identikit’.
While it’s impossible to please everyone, in fact there’s no chance of that judging by some of the comments made since WGS left, there must be a few characteristics needed to manager the Hoops.
Here goes..
- He must have played or supported Celtic
- He must hate the Huns
- He has to have managed at the top level
- He has to have a knowledge of the Scottish and European game
- He must be able to command respect in the dressing room
- He has to be able to negotiate with the board to release funds
….and most importantly,
He must WANT to manage CELTIC!
Well there it is bhoys and ghirls, any suggestions?
The Cover-Up Continues….
Posted by: | CommentsSPL Report A Dud
While listening to Radio Snyde on Friday, a caller asked a very pertinent question about the findings of the SPL report submitted by observer Alan Dick, regarding the the bigoted bile that emanated from the Rankers end in last month’s O*d F*rm match.
The groans from the panel of Shug Keevins, Peter McGuire, sorry Martin and Graham Spiers were clearly audible.
They don’t want to talk about this. That was evident. Anyway, the Shug fellow stated categorically that there would be NO action taken against Der Hun.
As far as the SPL are concerned, Dave The Rave and Permatan Bain are doing all they can to eradicate the ’small minority’ who continue to sing bigoted songs.
In fact the Shugster went on to state that there would be ‘mayhem on the streets’ if the SPL deducted points from us or them!
How come we got dragged into this?
But, it gets better….
Spiers, who at one time was a credible journalist, if that’s possible, went a step further.
Wait ’til you hear this one….
He blamed the current wave of bigotry on ‘two characters from the North of Ireland, Martin O’Neill and Neil Lennon’. These were his exact words.
Forgetting over a century of exclusion and racist employment history, he lay the blame fairly and squarely on the shoulders of these two ‘characters’.
I nearly crashed the car when I heard this blatant attack on two of Celtic’s finest. Yet no-one challenged him.
Spiers is obviously a bitter, bitter ‘man’, who regularly dismisses all of us that use the internet to air our views as cretins, yet he does an ‘online column for The Times’.
This attack came after the bold Graham was waxing lyically about how superior the defence, midfield and attack of the Hun is compared to Celtic’s.
At least us ‘cretins’ openly show our colours. What about you Graham?
Oh aye, and Pedro said nothing worth mentioning, as usual.
