Consider this.
The current manager of Sevco cannot directly approach a senior player in his squad on a matter of concern.
Instead, intermediaries have to be deployed.
It goes like this; Jonatan Lillebror Johansson takes a message from Senhor Pedro Miguel Faria Caixinha to the Serious Professional.
He then goes and has a Quintessentially British sit down with a senior person in the Sevco Squad.
A recent dignified conclave involved the Senior Professional communicating Pedro’s request for there to be only one officially approved social media account for the squad.
The veteran player sent a message back through the labyrinthine communication channels to his esteemed manager.
Apparently, the reply was that the Portuguese Guardiola should go and have sexual congress with himself.
As I have reported here, it is it is the consensus among the Sevco High Command that Pedro isn’t the guy.
However, they simply can’t afford to sack him and his backroom team.
If they did, then the issue is that Pedro has brought in NINE players and he has a connection with EIGHT of them.
The next item of disharmony might be when the “Poundshop Mourinho” makes Bruno Alves his captain.
I’m sure the WhatsApp Group moderator will be Churchillian about that elevation.

With their last team deid and their new team shite, the peepil now know that the only way to stop Celtic’s 10 in a row is to destroy the entire Scottish league structure from the inside out and the high ranking Masons running our game have planned this from the off, as such craven deviance has been their wont for centuries, if not their very ‘mason d’être’, as it were.
And UEFA will go along with their scam like they did with Res 12 and this year’s number by pretending to us that ‘SOMETHING IS BEING DONE!’ by addressing certain aspects of the Rangers/Sevco issues then barring all Scottish teams from Europe in an attempt to undermine, weaken and, if possible, destroy our game so that they can reshape it in their own image as they’ve done with everything else they’ve ever set their sights on down the aeons.
An ‘insider’ friend of mine told me all this would happen 25 years ago during a difficult time for him and I couldn’t believe him at the time, too incredible it seemed, yet here it all is, playing out exactly as he said it would and on the grandest globalist scale he so scarily described way back then.
And this Scottish fitba aspect of the power grab is but one small, though not insignificant, part of it.
What a lot of shite… masons,UEFA… get a grip pal. The games goosed but UEFA will if called upon play with a straight bat… the SFA/SPFL? Not so sure.
Clearly Linfield are a better team than Sevco as they are still in the CL qualifiers and Sevco were pumped out Europa league weeks ago.
Aberdeen are still in Europe too.
Poor Sevco, Europe cost them money.
Scotland got dirty black rain 13/14 July as usual after the NI bonfires polluted their skies and the black clouds dropped the incinerated pallets across Scotland. What’s the Scottish environment minister doing about it?
Why has the EU allowed these NI bonfires for all these decades, within EU borders, burning thousands of tonnes of wood up into the EU atmosphere?
It’s a shocking scandal. The EU should fine the NI assembly hundreds of millions of pounds.
Patrick Harvie of the Greens never comments on this annual environmental vandalism that ends up choking Scotland.
Celtic will take the correct path on issues raised over the build up and at the match itself.
The custodians of our great club will be mindful of the return leg and also the fact that just maybe we may meet yesterday’s host’s from the North of Ireland again next year in the same event.
One Serious Professional acting alone is at the mercy of the Gods.
Celtic however, with the entire organisation staffed with top line expertise will chart the correct course.
Kindest regards to you Phil and thank you for your insight and commentary.

Does anyone remember the kids’ TV character Windy Miller, who kept us all gripped in our seats during Camberwick Green by walking in and out of a windmill door, narrowly missing the sails (sales) and certain disaster in every episode.
Surely an allegory for Sevco’s troubled times?
On an unrelated, but more concerning issue. Since when does bringing to the attention of a referee the fact that an empty half-bottle has been thrown at you merit a yellow card? Leigh Griffiths deserves an apology (OK, the referee was an apology but that’s not my point.)
Reporting of the bearpit atmosphere in Belfast has been shocking in its attempts not to cover the hate-filled antics of the home support. One BBC reporter (Chris McLaughlin) even suggested that sectarian extremism was a problem afflicting only a minority of the Linfield support. Are you kidding Chris?
Roll on Tuesday and a chance for the Hoops to strut their stuff. Party time in Dundalk awaits.
There we go again….the £1.5m received for McKay will allow a much higher offer being made to Hearts for Walker.
How is it possible that the undisclosed fee for McKay varies between £300k and £1.5m given the The Hats first hand knowledge that distress sales are the name of the game.
This gets more ,and more, like Pythonesque storyline with every passing day. The only characters apparently missing are the ” Comfy Chair,” and the ” Norwegian Blue.”
Many of us have been scathing in our criticism of Pedro,a result of some of his utterances to ingratiate himself to the Zombies to the extent that he is now regarded as an object of ridicule and embarrassment .
Pedro is a decent man, who is too far out of his depth. Possibly unaware that he is a central cog in a very cunning plan. You know how much we Tims love a conspiracy.
His tea is well and truly oot.
I hope that when he departs he screws as much as he can from this faecal football fraud as he can.
Take the cash not the instalment plan.
Great blog Sir,as always.
The media were quick to present the 3 years contracts given to Pedro and his backroom staff as a big positive, just as they bigged up the monies spent on transfer fees in and out.
Would even Rangers be so stupid to hire a no mark manager and staff on a 3 year contract with no get out clauses?
Where the actual transfer fees remain undisclosed the media take full advantage to weave their own particular narrative. A tug of war to sign the departing Matt Crooks, really?
I’ve only just discovered this blog Phil and I congratulate you on the fine writing and understated humour. To digress for a moment from the theme of your post, I watched the game last night and like everyone else it seems, I’m confused about the referee’s decision to book Griffiths for time wasting when objects were being thrown at him at the corner. Such a poor decision in my view, gave those morons throwing objects carte blanche to continue. However, I think Griffiths’ decision to tie a scarf to the goalpost at the end of the game actually deflected some of the press criticism away from the Linfield thugs giving rise to the false impression that Griffiths himself contributed to the loutish behaviour on display in Belfast last night. Someone should have a word with him and advise him that such conduct does not reflect well on Celtic. We are above such infantile and gratuitous gestures.
If you are so up to date with “all things Celtic” I don’t believe for a minute you’ve just discovered this mans writing.
It appears the homespun Sevco players are xenophobes when it comes to Europeans. They don’t like playing them and they don’t like playing with them.
Give Pedro two years. He will come good in his third contractual year.
Apparently the boy Daly never seen said missiles,but in his defence his cave has no lights so clearly the floodlights are to blame ….back to Yir cave
Phil, I’m sticking £100 on Motherwell to pump Sevco and I’ll half the profits with you.
Hail Hail my friend.
How is Pedro with a lawnmower?
I see some ‘Gairdenin’ incoming!
On another matter…
A nod to Celtic/Peter Lawell et al. for refusing the Linfield tickets…
They knew all too well what could erupt and didn’t want ANY possible sanction fingers pointed our way!
Low-and-behold… The NI Sevco manage to have a riot amongst themselves…
Bucky bottles raining onto our players! Classy!
Well out of it! Can we make the home leg a Celtic fans only affair?
Uefa wil be looking closely and there’s too much at stake to be the ones that get the heavy punishments.
Mind you! I think wee Cousin Sevco over the Watter will be getting some European justice dished out to them anyway.
Let’s hope Celtic never have to play this lot again!
Perhaps their Belfast brethren will give them something to crow about. Oh wait, nae progres there either.
Internecine?????
Hope that the NHS is geared up this season at the Suffering General because a hospital pass or five is guaranteed. Accidentally, of course.
There’s no war more brutal than a civil war. And they ALWAYS leave irreparably damage.
Excellent stuff as always Phil! I was wondering why the lack of high Level guff from the usual sources. Sounds like Pedro has more to be concerned about than green boots and delusional mottos.
Great stuff Phil.
