Totally agreed. That is one of our main problems; Rangers aren't anywhere near as good as we were but we are still a massive scalp so these small teams still try their hearts (pardon the pun) out but we've not got enough quality to fill that gap.

Fair play to the Hearts fans. They obviously don't believe all the "new club" pish they spout as they celebrated that draw like a win.

There is a good team in there somewhere. We just lack a bit of spark. Morelos looks good. Miller unfortunately I think needs to be dropped tonsee if losing him adds to a bit more dynamism. Hearts were just awful. We should have easily got 3 points there.

I was sure they were from Dundee!!

Excuse my language but fuck the Scotsman and fuck their biased fucking views. Another rag that should be on the official boycott list.

Or they found out it was a "false flag" and have ignored it.

I honestly can't understand how, in any explanation at all, Lennon has escaped unpunished. Questions seriously need to be asked as to how this is. There is no reasonable explanation for this other than they are purposefully ignoring it as the evidence is widely available in the public domain. It is scandalous.

And don't forget the sweeping up of Lennon's actions. Every manager can now give the crowd a 'get it up ye' with impunity.

Can we file this alongside the account which the papers plastered all over their front pages which apparently posted to Scott Brown about his sister's cancer? What they didnt circulate was that it appeared to come from a Celtic fan.

Strange as usual the papers will be publishing the guy's full history...

My wife had to tell me off because I was so raging they really aren't normal though. The bride and groom are well known Celtic fans and there were multiple references throughout the wedding (which for me is strange enough) but that pissed me off. The same guy was singing some Hibs shite (even though he is a Celtic fan) at the end of the night too. Complete tosspots.

So as there has been silence today, does that mean that the SFA have chosen to ignore him?

The actual state of them. Even the "normal" ones aren't right. I was at a wedding last week and at the end of the best man speech he got everyone to stand and raise their glass and then said it was for "Craig White". Imagine being that sad that you have to get that in at your best friend's wedding. What a sad life.

Thanks for that reminder - section on their relationship with the GCC added.

Does a good scouting system beat a £20m a year handicap?

But how do we overcome the barriers stated above?

After the odious ones' win over poor European competition last night, what can we do to get out of this horrible grip that holds Scottish football? Celtic, Ireland's favourite club seem to have a strangehold that I am struggling to see any way out of. A few important factors have allowed this; Firstly, the Champions League qualifying has been edited in such a way that for them not to qualify is almost impossible. Gone are the days when we could face top Italian, Spanish and German teams - now Celtic find themselves in a highly envious position of being shoehorned into playing teams such as the champions of Khazakstan, Northern Ireland and relatively easy Scandinavian countries. Basically, the CL money, which astronomically shadows anything we could ever hope to make in Scotland, is guaranteed for them every year. How are we ever going to financially catch up with that? Secondly, they also have a firm grip on the governance of the game. Through a series of covert and not-so-covert moves they have infuenced decisions and other clubs into allowing them control of the top table. They have waged a campaign which has successfully cemented Rangers, their only real rival, as the "baddies". Other fans howl at our name. Other teams' chairmen stomp their feet in approval when the right honourable Celtic men suggest endless punishments. They have done this job so successfully that their many, many past, current and future misdemeanours are cast aside. It does not take a lot of investigation to see that they are at least devious or at worst criminal. This information is out in the open yet somehow they have miraculously managed to make a poorly managed yet perfectly legal tax scheme the worst thing ever to happen to Scottish football. Thirdly, they have the Scottish press perpetuating all noted in point two. Is this due to partizan fans working their way into top positions? Is it due to a coherent strategy to achieve this? Is it due to nice bonuses paid to say nice things about the world's friendliest non-sectarian club and greatest fans in the world who totally don't ever idolise the IRA week in, week out? Again, it doesn't take a lot of investigation to see the disparity between reporting of the clubs. The Daily Record, Sun and BBC are pretty much full time Rangers Fake News generators. It also doesn't take a mathematical genius to calculate that, proportionally, Rangers fans don't seem to be represented (at all!?) at high up positions within the media (and also as MPs but that is a separate sinister discussion). Fourthly, there is the suspect relationship between Celtic and the local government which has "hidden-in-plain-site" dodgy land deals that, again, are there for all to see. The knocking down of listed buildings, the selling of land for rock bottom, below value prices (on a side-note, robbing the tax-payer), the free spending in sprucing up the local area for free, the constant flow of money towards one club via the venue being booked as a training venue or the multitude of complementary "entertainment" tickets bought.. It is of no coincidence that the majority of the Glasgow City Council members who have influence here are Celtic 'sympathetic'. What investment has went on at the most historic stadium in the country on the other side of the city? None. So what can we do to get out of this grip? Does it take Celtic having an unavoidable scandal of their own? They seem to have this covered as the press will happily bury any negative news via their placemen. It would have to be something absolutely stratospheric to break through their media buffer. Does it take a long period of indifference? Shall their fans eventually get bored of beating Rangers? I can't see this happening as all it takes is for the press to ramp up the hatred to make winning "worthwhile". Does it take major investment in Rangers? Again, this doesn't guarantee anything as the placemen running Scottish football will throw spanners, grenades and all sorts into the works to negate this. The constant stream of Fake News slandering the club will also put off any outside investment . So the question is; Has John Reid's plan worked? Have they got us "nailed to the floor"? I have a horrible feeling they have and it will take us until the floorboards rot until we can get back up. Any positive ideas are more than welcome to raise my not-so-cheery mood!

Just Beaton then?

And Lennon actually turned to the crowd and did it. I'm fully expecting the SFA still to act on this one. It is too obvious for them to ignore.

Surely he must be facing some kind of action. Surely they can't sweep this one away. There is clear video and photographic evidence. Are they just going to keep quiet and hope it goes away?

Has he been charged by the SFA then? Was the deadline not 3pm today?

I'm not surprised. However, I am waiting, intrigued, as to what excuse the SFA will concoct which will result in a ban less than Fenlon, for the exact same thing, and for him to get out of his perpetual suspended sentence.

Nowhere near. Even only a few months ago there was a video of him threatening boincers in Glasgow. Obviously that wasn't well reported. He is a pleb.

No matter what the Celtic-compliant press do, I still find it baffling that Lennon still gets the support he does. It doesn't take a master investigator to look back at stories on him - cheating on partners whilst pregnant, threatening women with knives, fighting in the street, attacking referees, foul and abusive language, fighting on the pitch - and all at multiple clubs. Why is it that he gets so much protection? Does being a Rangers-hater really give you carte-blanche to do whatever you please and you will get roundly supported as some kind of victim?

It's like North Korea? Of course it is Keith and it's your fault. Your paper prints Fake News stories that they would be proud of.
