This was a worrying line and reminds me, my good man = whatever happened to the "good news" that was on its way a couple of months back?

I thought we were going to be off the front pages and dealing only with football stories from now on and no more "noise". Perhaps I misheard

And McCafferty

That front cover is just extraordinary, even for Scotland in 2017. Nicky Clark....brings nightmarish shudders. His last act in the Cup Final summed the disaster that he was up very aptly, alas.

" He was a decent man" ffs, Hepburn. decent men don't do what he did - allow a molester to continue preying on children for personal gain. "Decent" - jeezo

Yes Daly - hence what I have been posting. We know he was desperate to bring us into it as much as possible. If the police were aware why the f*** was Neely allowed to continue? Drives you mad, the laxity of the past does.

Double post

The BBC Website story has been expanded since then and it is sneakily implying that we covered up, note these bits (deliberately designed, you'd almost think to spread the blame/take the heat of Celtic): "Rangers told us it was aware of an alleged incident more than 25 years ago involving Neely, sacked him and informed the police. Police Scotland told the BBC they were unable to confirm whether Rangers made a complaint or not, despite Freedom of Information requests. The BBC also asked surviving senior executives and football personnel who were at Rangers at that time, for more details - but received none. The Crown was unable to find details of a report being sent to the fiscal in relation to a complaint about Neely in 1990." ___ A decade after Hibs sacked him, and more than five years after Rangers got rid of him it is alleged Neely was still abusing." You can see the way this programme is going to pan out from these quotes. And also from "The programme also features claims from former Clydebank and Rangers player Levi Stephen about a third alleged perpetrator." Cairney's still to come too, surely?

Sorry. I still think nothing will happen to them, though. And the BBC are pushing it that there is no record of us making a complaint re Neely, leaving him free to continue molesting kids for five years after leaving us. I note they are spinning the "separate entity" nonsense (a legal technicality that could save them, alas - ridiculous though it is). Funny isn't it that when I was growing up all I heard was how brilliant "their" "quality street gang" were? That being the name for "their" wonderful Boys Club players which put ours to shame. * Not that I imagine it would be easy to discover that now but it's the Beeb's way of implicating us to be like them as much as possible even when we are not.

Yes, I wrote that above but we were discussing trophy removal. On which note, given the amount of abuse up and down the country, where would the trophy removal end? Who would decide how many proven cases equalled how many trophies or would it be any one case and all trophies during the tenure of said paedophile at said club? Would different types of abuse necessitate different trophy decisions and so forth. It'd be unmanageable. Also this is Scotland in the 21st Century, and so the idea of Celtic FC being punished is more than hard to imagine.

Of that there is no doubt - it's just a pity that the SFA is made up by PL and his puppets

There is zero chance of trophies being removed for child abuse, even Penn State got all their's back.

Penn State got all their wins reinstated the year after they were "vacated", even before that they got the scholarships and post season play that had been withdrawn given back to them. If that can happen after the outrage there then I expect zilch to happen here. They did have to pay $60 million to relevant causes but all other punishments were reversed.

We all know that this will never happen

Yes at 21:55

Interestingly I'd not noticed/heard the "Bouncy" after the second goal prior to watching this. I must have been going a bit daft myself at the time. A one man in the house bouncy

No question over that, cotw, but we don't half make his job easy for him.

There was a 12 page thread on this on FF (with many fine posts amidst some nonsense) and then Spiers wrote an article in the Times about our songs. This new thing sounds abysmal and I can't get my head around why it would be introduced now. Some welcome for PC and his staff. The FF thread is now 35 pages and clearly is not about an imaginary problem.

Fair enough. We seemed to have no midfield at all though....and then he brought on Halliday and then we ran riot

We seemed to go to pieces for the next period of the game though. We looked totally lost between then and the 79th minute.... I thought the same re Wilson and the defence. Impressive with the young Bates beside him - or does that help him concentrate?

True. I wish I'd known in advance that this is what we were doing for the agonising thirty minutes prior to it though

Jeezo, it's been a while since we scored, eh?

Imagine 10 minutes ago someone telling you we'd be signing "so fucking easy"

Yessssssssssssssssssssss three!

At half time I felt we could have been two up. must admit I hadn't been feeling it this half.
