Two Of Celtic-Cyber-Timdoms Main Men Have A Protest In The Car Park
All, LoTWites should be 'up' for Super Saturday. According to the press it will be a day for wearing kilts and getting your face painted as we watch Andy Murray get beat, again, from Rafal Nadal and watch George Burley's get the first part of his P45 as The Scots swelter and melt to a meek defeat in Macedonia.
LoTW is really worried that 5 Celtic players will be in that starting line up. The goat called scape, which comes out after every Scotland defeat will comedown hard on Caldwell, McManus, Brown, Hartley and Robson. So much so, that the clamour for the 'New Hutton' Kirk Broadfoot to be included against Iceland, after 1 decent game in 18 months, will reach biblical proportions.
Anyway, for once this summer it looks like Celticcybertimdom is in agreement. The feeling of being cheated coupled with the humilation of last Sunday, have The Huns released a DVD yet?, have meant that protests in the car park seem not to far away.
The 'USSM' seems to have been found out as a man of spin, smoke and mirrors while the spinners of these monnbeams, called 'moonbeamers' have went into hiding with no arguments of stats to back up the boards signing policy, or lack of one, this summer.
A thread on KDS informed, well researched by HMW Tim, that Celtic's wage bill dwarfs The Huns and it is probably at it's highest level for years, maybe ever. Have we now reached the same stage as we did under Saint Martin Of O'Neill when the footballing side is bursting at the financial seams loaded with average players earning above average wages?
Seems to be the case as 'Heid Porno Lackie' David Sullivan stated during the week, that if 'The Chief Executive Of Bobo Balde' comes to an agreement with Celtic, i.e. one that see's 'The Chief Executive Of Bobo Balde' already vast pension being made even vaster by another million or so, then he may still sign for The Brum.
The USSM has already paid off one on the biggest mistakes in the clubs history this summer. Thomas Gravesan was given the largest contract since Paul Lamberts agent retired to Monaco on his 15% and cost us a Shaun Maloney or a Pavlyuchenko left gonad to get him out of it. If the wage structure is creaking under the weight of these wallets then pay off's should have been factored in this summer.
Only Evander Sno, whose transfer fee we used to buy Shaun Maloney, and Derek Riordon, who left for Hibs in a deal worth £500,000 less than Lancashire giants Burnley offered a few months back, were the 1st teamers that left along with 'The Grav'. Not big earners both of them.
On the surface it seems that we are struggling to keep the costs down and this has had a detrimental effect on the signings we have made. The squad needed to be improved and trimed at the same time but this hasn't been done.
It's a longway to January.
Enough, of this bollocks. It was turning into CQNlite there. Let's get back to what this blog is unfamed for. Yes, bolloxs and sarcasim.
First to to poke his large heid over the trenches, after The Huns defeat was Gary Caldwell. He mumbled something about being 'Champions' and showing 'last year we are strong enough to do it, that we can do it and we will do it again this year.' before being replaced by Mick...
....who mumbled something about being 'Champions' and 'We showed our character and resilience last year and we have to do that again.'.....next up was Skippy McDonald.....yes, you guessed it said “We showed true strength last time around, a real determination to win.”
Yawn......
I did like what Skippy surmised though....
“Sunday was tough because the result was a big blow. You can argue about who feels it worse, the supporter or player, but I would say the players take it harder."
I heard a 'fan' on the way out on Sunday say he was embarressed to be a Celtic fan. I'm never embarressed to be a Celtic fan but I have always hoped the players, when they produce terrible performances, are embarressed to call themselves Celtic players.
Seemingly, there was a Monday morning inquest for the players after that defeat, an inquest where all the players were probably told what to say to the press, see above. Our manager said quite worryingly..
"Sometimes players don't even know where they have gone wrong so that's what we did on Monday. We pointed stuff out and we kept it in-house."
...so the players don't know being 2nd best, losing 4 goals and being humped at home by Kenny Miller, Kirk Broadfoot, the worse fullback in Scotland, and Nacho Novo (Ratboy, who lives.........in a house somewhere in Scotland) is wrong then we really have a problem.
To the real deal. We have been drawn with Livingston in the Co-op Cup, a trophy that could be the best chance for us to win something this season. In truth, we should just use the Arsenal blueprint for this trophy. Lets play the youngsters and tell them no matter how far we get or who we get they will still keep their place in the team.
So that will be going out on pens to Livingstone then.
