MON, Ghord And Tony All Targeted By Media

It was bound to happen.

At some point in the season Tony was going to tell the press exactly where to get off. And he did yesterday with the biggest hint yet that Celtic may use the media the same way as the media use them.

And I’m glad.

You see, Tony is an honest big guy, and expects everyone else to be the same, which is no bad thing.

But when it come to dealing with the media, then his honesty is being turned around and manipulated to suit whatever agenda the hack has. Now, deny as they might, certain, not all, journos do HAVE an agenda against Mogga and won’t rest until he either walks away, or is sacked.

These very same hacks are the ones that gave Ghordon Strachan and Martin O’Neill grief at every opportunity. Both eventually treated the press exactly the same as way they were treated.

That led to the hacks turning up the heat on the club and managers at every turn. Making up stories that forced Celtic to take legal action, which of course we won.

Who can forget the Record headline “Thugs and Thieves” about the Bhoys trip to Newcastle?

Well, I’ve said this for a long time.

Celtic Football Club should meet the MINIMUM press duties that their sponsorships require, then do the rest via our own outlets, official website, Celtic View and Channel 67.

Of course, the hacks will still try and distort anything that’s published no matter where it appears but at least we can keep as much in house as possible.

The closer to a media blackout the better, in my opinion.

P.S. The attack on the GAA minibus is an absolute scandal. It’s racist, sectarian and small minded. Where’s the press coverage now?
