The brass neck is thick on this ****. Neglecting the fact it still took him 10 ****ing months or longer to catch on
The funniest thing about this is the thick **** doesn't even have the intelligence to understand that by spouting such bile on a near daily basis he's just backing up all the accusations that the likes of Spiers, Thomson et al. throw at SevCo fans
he is slipping in his usual high standards, at least once he missed out Brian Mcnally's middle name which as it is patrick should be highlighted at every opportunity to remind us that he is a taig
Everyone who says he was threatened by Gers fans is a Liar. Spiers Thomson McGillivan Lennon Godman McBride McGinn McCourt SFA Panel members All liars
yep but you forget he donned the brown brogues of dignity and apologised for the death threats he received
Tugged his forelock and adopted a Uriah Heap like pose of deference whilst admitting threats were received. "Very umble"
This is a belter. [h=2]Thursday, 8 November 2012[/h][h=3]LAWWELL, CELTIC AND REMEMBRANCE[/h] UNTIL such time as Peter Lawwell allows those members of the Armed Forces who are Celtic supporters to parade at Parkhead in their uniforms, Celtic will never been seen as a British club. And, despite any hush-hush talks chief executive Peter Lawwell may have been having with anybody who he believes can pave the way to the Premiership for Celtic, his chances of success are slim to zero. And slim is out of town. Lawwell must be dreading Sunday’s game against St Johnstone at Parkhead on Sunday, which is of course November 11[SUP]th[/SUP], Remembrance Sunday. And the benchmark for that Remembrance, as far as football is concerned, will have been set twenty four hours earlier when Rangers pay their annual tribute in what I believe is set to be a moving, spectacular and poignant afternoon, during which Rangers will seek to strike the same sort of balance as that which will be achieved in the presence of the Queen at the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday night. It is an evening which every year both informs and entertains, before stopping us in silence leaving us lost in pensive thought as the poppies and the silence descends. Perhaps the Celtic crowd will surprise us on Sunday and join in a perfectly observed minute’s silence, with no intrusion of any Blood Stained Poppy banner from the IRA backing Green Brigade. Of course there are always those who actually criticise Rangers for their adherence to the tradition of the poppy and their awareness of how special this time of the year is. They are the sort of folk who you could call the anti poppy brigade or even worse, the white poppy brigade. The anti poppy lot have already had their say in – you’ve guessed it – the Herald, where their rugby writer, Alasdair Reid wrote just the sort of smart alec piece about the symbolism of the poppy you would expect to find in that fast sinking rag. But even worse is the white poppy brigade, led by that poseur in chief at Channel Four, Jon Snow, who even manages to out-prance and out-preen his junior colleague, Alex Thomson. Not that the appalling white poppy – a symbol, they say, of peace, as though the red poppy is a symbol of anything other than peace – is confined to the London luvvies. The Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday’s Andrew Smith, a former Celtic View editor, parades himself wearing this symbol of gawd knows what. And his point is? All over England this weekend, crowds will stand, heads bowed in silence, with a military presence at most grounds, and all top flight teams wearing the poppy woven into their jerseys. But up here in the Celtic Republic of the Scottish Premier League, the football authorities have said they will leave it up to clubs to decide whether or not they wear the poppy on their strip. Rangers have already announced their players will wear the poppy, while Celtic, according to a report in the Herald, are refusing to comment on what they will, or will not do. Surely they will at least hold a minute’s silence? And not that horrible foreign malignant applause which they have already said, on their tannoy, is the Celtic way? It may very well be. But it is not the Scottish way. It is not the British way. After the kerfuffle of the Celtic zealots and fanatics disrupting the minute’s silence with their Blood Stained Poppy banner two years ago, a story which appalled Middle England when it appeared in the Daily Mail, English eyes and ears will be on Parkhead on Sunday. And if the Green Brigade, so recklessly and dangerously indulged by Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell, shame Remembrance with their hatred again, then never mind the Government of this United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Peter Lawwell could beg Her Britannic Majesty for help in gate crashing the big bucks of the English Premiership to no avail. For the loyal subjects of the Crown in England will have the last word on that matter. And Rangers, despite their current and temporary status as a Third Division side, remain the quintesential British club, with the way Remembrance is marked at Ibrox on Saturday more in tune with what happens in the English Premiership. There will be nobody wearing a white poppy at Ibrox on Saturday. Unless Scotsman Publications decide to send former Celtic View editor Andrew Smith along to cover the match.
Nah, that daft old *unt isn't interested in football. That piece will have been penned weeks in advance of this Sunday and worked on ever since; unfortunately for Leggo, however much you polish a turd, it's still a turd. He will be praying for the slightest sparrow's fart on Sunday and Monday's piece, full of faux indignation, is no doubt all ready to go.
you can bet that if we had got beat there would have been a piece on it! i am so over this whole poppy thing. I read a tweet on twitter that celtic had refused to allow collectors around the ground, poppy scotland said that this was untrue and that celtic had also donated 10k. I also thought that remembrance sunday was one of remembrance, it would seem that rangers are trying to turn it into theatre with absailing paras and (according to medro) a fly over poppy drop by the red arrows.
I burst out laughing in work more than once there This: is the kind of statement the BNP would be embarrassed at having on their website.
Today's is worth a laugh. The language used alone is worth several chuckles but the Odious Creep section at the bottom is priceless.
