Davy Clintonsharing biscuits with the robins. 

The oul fishing is a bit slow today ...  when is it not. ? Anyway I thought I'd take the chance to ask a fairly tactical question and you may not even need to be an angler to have the answer.
 
You would think an oul boy of my advanced years would be up to speed on most things but this one has me stumped. I'm that old I remember when Unionists actually ran the country with swings closed on Sundays along with anything else that moved. I remember Rangers FC before they refused to pay the face painter and then died. I remember the roasting hot Summer of 1976 ... I spent it soaking up the sun in Costa Long Kesh. I remember having a totally ginger beard with not a grey hair in sight and Marymo without a moustache. I remember getting off the sofa without making weird and wonderful noises.

I remember the only time Republicans would have been through the door of Stormont would have been carrying beer kegs ... minus the beer.
 
Yep, ancient and stumped. I kind of understand ... after reading Hawking's book twice. - about Black Holes in the Universe. I get the general drift on the Newton thing about gravity. I still haven't got inside a woman's mind yet ... a work in progress of course.

But here's what really stumps me, what really fries what little brain cells I have left. Late last night I packed up all my food stuffs for a days fishing. I packed away about s dozen mixed ginger nut and fruit shortie biscuits. All of them perfect, not a broken edge one of them. Packed in a bag, inside a hard plastic box and then inside a large canvas holdall. 

So, can some really smart person out there tell me why after making a cup of tea an hour ago and opening up the holdall, plastic box and bag I find my biscuits looking like Michael Flatley had danced all over them on the stage of Riverdance? My friend the Robin has got more of than I was able to salvage.
 
Hawking and Newton and even Einstein had it easy trying to work on maths and physics. I bet they they never had to sit beside a lake in the pissing rain and wonder why their biscuits were in fucking crumbs.

  1. Enjoyed that but what's worse? Believing Rangers 'died' and Celtic were beaten by a brand new club or the reality that everyone but Celtic fans recognize that it's the same club including all governing bodies?

    Can you see us now?

  2. Hi Steve

    The Ibrox club deservedly won the league.

    Well done.

    We did see that, and also the £58K bill to clean up their "celebrations" in the city centre, during a pandemic. Celebrations violent enough that businesses were forced to close.

    Well done for that as well.

    Regarding the continuity situation... Seems to me that this is a question where there is more than one answer... If Celtic (my club) had been liquidated, I'd say the reconstituted club was no different from the original. The feelings of the supporters wouldn't have changed, their lived experience would have been continuous, so fair enough, at one level it’s the same club.

    However, if the club want to keep the honours they’d won, then it would be perfectly reasonable to expect them to pay the bills incurred in winning them.

    If any of us booked a holiday with a company who were liquidated and who then opened up in the same premises, trading under the same name, boasting of 150 years’ unbroken tradition, and at the same time refused to honour agreements or refund cash… well, how happy would we be?

    What’s the difference?

    1. None. We should have been run properly the first time but were not. The old existing company structure was insolvent and a new one bought the carcass.....BUT.....importantly the SFA membership was transferred not cancelled with even Neil Doncaster saying it was the same club just a new company structure. ( Shades of Pacific Shelf 595? LOL) Everyone knifed us on the way down and we came back setting new world records on the way back as we don't do walking away.

      The club told the fans not to break the law but as with every club there are always troublemakers, the fans should organize to reimburse the cost in my opinion.

  3. You were liquidated Steve, get over it. Your argument is illogical, established clubs don't have to apply to play in football Leagues as sevco did in 2012 and had the bear faced audacity to ask to join at the top level

    I don't mind them calling us 'sevco' or that we 'died'. It makes it all the sweeter when Rangers tank them. After Popcorn Teeth lost the 'nailed on' 10 in a row he got slaughtered by his own fans on Twitter, the best fun on Twitter since they lost the indy ref.

    1. Peter,

      It just makes me laugh when they say it because even subconsciously they know it's not true.

      Why else do they refer to us as "You" died? They know we are the exact same club and it really does boil their piss that we arose like their beloved phoenix to decimate them in the piggery while romping unbeaten in the only season that matters.

      They are slaughtering themselves about the state of their manky club and it just keeps getting funnier! LOL

  5. The Old Firm rivalry is no less bitter all these years on! Hard to beat the atmosphere at an Old Firm derby. I have been in Liverpool's Kop end and it doesn't compare to the buzz at Celtic's ground.
