One Rule For Them, One Rule For Us. Part 2
Posted by: | CommentsDouble Standards All Round….
In true O*d Firm week fashion a row has broken out about Celtic trying underhand tactics to influence the match official ahead of Sunday’s game.
A ‘mole’ from the club has ‘leaked’ information about a meeting between the SFA and Celtic regarding officials’ handling of Celtic matches this season, in general.
For example:
- Two penalty kicks denied at Ipox
- A perfectly good goal disallowed at Celtic Park in the last derby
- Sammy ruled offside against Falkirk, wrongly again
- Goal chopped off at home to Hibs two weeks ago
- Niall McGinn penalty denied against Hertz
- Aiden & Darren booked against the Sheep for kicking the ball away but McLean NOT
and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
We could go on about the FAVOURABLE decisions that have gone the MM’s way, but I’ve only got an hour!
No doubt the media will make a real mountain out of this meeting, and will themselves put pressure on Dougie McDonald before a ball is kicked.
But let’s not get too carried away by thinking we’ll get a turn from DD.
McDonald officiated in the match at Easter Road after the Eduardo diving fiasco, and promptly sent Aiden off for diving! (wrongly again!)
Anyway, cast your mind back to the first derby match of the season when Judas Miller was all over the papers telling us how the refs were out to get the MM. Is that not putting pressure on the ref before the game?
Craig Thomson obviously read his comments and decided poor Kenny and his team needed a hand, by denying us two stonewall penalties!
Time For Celtic F.C. Directors To Take Action !!!!!!!
Surprise Surprise…Glenn Loovens today finally found out that his One Match Ban handed out by the SFA Review Panel following the Old Firm match back in May will stand and as such he will now miss out this Saturday match at Paradise against Motherwell.
This now leads me to ask the question as to whether the same SFA Review Panel will now act with the same due diligence and bring charges against the Rankers trio of Lafferty, Novo & Weir following their “assaults” on Hoops players two weeks ago at Castle Greyskull? All captured on TV the same as Loovens and as it happens with the same Ref……Further more will they actually review the performance of their own Match Ref Craig Thomson who admitted he got “One Penalty” decision wrong but hadn’t the bottle or the inclination to admit to the others as this would have meant he would have to rescind the “yellow cards” handed out to Shaun Maloney and Mark Wilson and his supervisors at the SFA wouldn’t like that.
On the subject of Craig Thomson and his bosses at the SFA, including Hugh Dallas, I believe that Celtic Management and Directors have let us “The Faithful” down by not officially complaining about his performance and I also believe by not doing so they are condoning Ref Thomson and his Supervisors decision that Maloney and Wilson are “cheats” while TV Pictures proved beyond any reasonable doubt they are not. When will our Board stand up to be counted against officials ?..You know just like the Arsenal Manager and Directors did to UEFA on Eduardo’s ban….
The SFA have made a decision today to punish our club…Let’s now see some action from our Board of Directors…NOW !!!!!!

That Old Chestnut…..
Posted by: | CommentsMedia Give Credence Because of Perma Tan
For a long time now Celtic’s CEO Peter Lawwell has been waxing lyrically about the Hoops moving to another more lucrative league.
He doesn’t mention the Premiership as such, but does acknowledge that it’s the place to be.
It’s become almost like an annual address to the Celtic nation.
And for most of the time, the media have poured cold water over the idea, almost ridiculing Peter at times.
Until now that is…..enter Der Hun.
You see, while the Mint was pulling his strings Martin ‘Permatan’ Bain couldn’t fart without permission. But now that the MM have a new chairman, he of the orange dome has a new lease of life.
Like someone who has just been released from a straight-jacket, he has announced to the waiting world that the Huns will be playing in a different league within the next ten years.
And guess what, all of a sudden the media are all over the idea.
Just because the CEO of Der Hun has finally woke up to reality and admitted that Scottish Football is on it’s knees.
Now playing in the Premiership isn’t such a bad idea after all, yet only twelve months ago Wattie and Co announced that they would NEVER turn their back on Scottish Football. How things change when you’re skint.
Next they’ll be asking if they can take Craig Thomson with them!
Typical Media Reaction…Sell, Sell, Sell!

Didn’t take them long, two days to be precise.
And it was expected.
The for sale signs are up at Celtic Park…..according to Bluenose hack Andy McInnes from the Daily Express.
Skippy to go for £5m, Broonie for £6, Hinkel for whatever Hull want to pay and of course Aiden McGeady to whoever, for whatever!
All this, according to the hack, because Celtic lost 2-0 to Arsenal and won’t receieve the £15m Champions League windfall.
Funny that, when we qualify it’s only worth £10m, but when we fail, although we’re not out just yet Andy, it’s worth £15m.
Strange how that works.
Anyway, Peter Lawwell has already said that we DON’T need to sell anyone, and he should know.
Another thing, if we fall into the Europa League surely we’ll make some money from that competition. Granted it won’t be anything like the CL money but it will be £2-3m at least.
So Andy, from Celtic fans everywhere…..piss off, and stick to writing about your skint heroes at Legoland.
Hoops Head South..As Lawwell Puts Boot Into Huns!
Posted by: | CommentsWembley First For Celtic
Chief Exec Pistol Pete Lawwell has announced that the Bhoys will be the first Scottish club to grace the new Wembley turf.
The exact date have yet to be agreed, but Celtic will take part in the inaugural Wembley Cup with potential opponents including Barcelona.
What could be better for young Marc Crosas than to face his old team mates at the New Wembley Stadium?
Wembley-Another First For Celtic
Anyway, Pete had this to say, ” The Wembley Cup is the first of it’s type at the new stadium, so we’re delighted to be the first Scottish club to play there.
It’s a magnificent platform for Celtic to go and for our fans to go and support the team. So we’re delighted about that.
Our trips down south have been nothing but positive for the club-the way we have acted as a club, the way the supporters have behaved, they are great ambassadors.”
The same can’t be said of the rampaging inmates of Castle Greyskull….
No matter your opinion of Peter Lawwell, he loves to stick the boot into the Huns at every precise opportunity.
Good on ye Pete!
