Oh dear…
A few days ago, the Poundland Herrenvolk at Ibrox was energized with righteous fury.
Ok, ok I know that doesn’t really explain much as seething anger is their default setting.
They were utterly convinced that their beloved Alfredo and his pregnant wife had narrowly escaped death or serious injury because some ne’er-do-well attempted to tamper with the brakes of his car.
Indeed, some folk in the media rather did lose the run of themselves over it…
Now the truth did involve Morelos, Mrs Morelos, and the car, but not in the way that the klan thought.
I fully appreciate that the word “thought” is not usually appropriate in a sentence pertaining to Sevco’s dignified clientele.
Of course, the Ibrox klanbase WANTED to believe this story.
Sadly, like many of the things they hold to be true it was pish.
The irony is that Planet Fitba has had a real story about a football person and his family being in grave danger requiring police protection.
Men were sent to prison for lengthy sentences in a period that involved bombs and bullets in the post to Celtic’s Irish manager.
Those events do not seem to have registered on the moral compass of the klan.
Then again, the perpetrators were Ibrox chaps and the victim was Neil Francis Lennon.
For the avoidance of doubt, the state of the Morelos marriage is no one else’s business.
What the public is often interested in is not in the Public Interest.
Today, Mrs Morelos apparently denied hiring a Private Dick to investigate the whereabouts of Alfredo’s nether regions.
Once more, that is their business, not ours.
The real issue at Sevco is not Alfredo’s Lamborghini rather it is the bus that Stevie has thrown most of his team under in the last week.
His charges have dropped five out of the last six points.
Despite being treated to an expensive winter training camp in Dubai his guys have not produced on the field.
Consequently, some of The People are revolting.
At times like this, a wee bit of deflection can come in handy.
Now today, in an entirely unconnected development, Alfredo was served up to Sky Sports for an “interview” with some choreographed softball questions.
In a show of remarkable prescience, it was recorded on Friday.
It is almost as if someone was preparing a deflection narrative because they knew that Lamborghinigate was about to break yesterday.
The upshot of all of this cannot be understood unless you keep in mind that Operation Sell Alfredo was the main objective of the Sevco High Command during the January window.
To prepare the Ibrox klanbase for a fire sale price tag the “he was chased out of Scotland by racists and referees” narrative was central.
In the end, there were no offers for the player.
As with everything at Ibrox you need to Follow Follow the money.

Oh my days !
Oh give me a home
Where El Buffalo moans
And the cheats and the tax dodgers play
Where seldom is heard
An intelligent word
And the roofs are all leaking all day
Home of the deranged
Where the cheats and the tax dodgers play
Where seldom is heard
An intelligent word
And the roofs are all leaking all day.

That could work as a fitba chant,get the GB onnit,ASAP✅
If I’ve got the following wrong…then I will stand to be corrected.
As far as the Leigh Griffiths’ ” incident ” is concerned…my understanding of the Rules is…
If the referee fails to spot an incident…or fails to take action regarding same…then it can be referred to the Compliance Officer for scrutiny….and potential further sanctions.
However, if the referee does spot the incident and takes formal action…e.g…a yellow card…then the matter is closed.
Leigh was booked at the time…so does this render any further action…redundant ?
Finally…if I’m wrong and further action is taken and results in a ban….then Celtic FC MUST highlight the inconsistencies that are obviously there…and demand retrospective action against you know who.
Their lack of protest regarding Ryan Christie was unacceptable…it mustn’t happen again.
I can’t get my head around the fact that despite being desperate for cash they continue to spend what, for them, must be vast sums on the most ridiculous, discredited and laughable PR operation since Chemical Ali. Everything written or spoken about them is usually exposed for the nonsense it is within minutes…..eg “Chinese bid”, “USA partnership” etc. Yet they persist with this embarrassment!
It all seems to have gone quiet re: the Glib and Shameless one. Has the failure to sell anything temporarily suspended his departure?
Since 2012 and the same club lie traction and brainwash, the morons running Mordor have mistakenly come to the bananas conclusion that the universe is ordered according to their wish and spin. If they declare it then it shall be so. If they say a Chinese bid will come in then a Chinese bid will come in. That Boardroom lives in a galaxy far far away.
He’s not leaving without a pay day.
Morelos has been at Ibrox for years now. He MUST be aware of this moronic Billy Boys chant, and its KKK connection. He’ll doubtless know about the anti Irish/Catholic repertoire on a weekly basis. Moreover the “We Urr Da Peepul” chorus, which sounds like something the Nazis concocted in 1930s. But he seems blase about all this. Decent player-but mediocre character.
Sectarianism buys him a Lambo.
Passing the Brazen Head today it crossed my mind that to replace the current Treble Treble banner hanging from the building they will have to reduce the size of the lettering on a Quadruple Treble banner.
A draw or worse with Hibs and a cup defeat at Accies could see the blue side’s domestic campaign over by the weekend and Stevie G’s love in with the fans well and truly over.
The Quad Rebel Treble
The Klan are going ballistic about Dallas performance at the weekend to the point they are calling him out as a cheat . This will be the same Dallas that gave them 4 YES 4 penalties in the same game not so long a go . Followed up by the next game Dallas was the ref for the ibrox club by giving them another 2 penalties. Oh dear and they are serious when they call him a cheat .
They are quite correct. He is a cheat.
The Sevco window was an exercise in smoke and mirrors pish to deceive their gullible fans of improvement whilst the reverse is true. They’re worse!
Florian Kamberi has scored 3 goals in 21 games this season:

Hagi has had 3 goals in 20 games this season.
Ridiculous stories surrounding Morelos is merely squirrel distraction, primarily for the gullible bears. Normally after points dropped there’s a story released on the Monday regarding racism.
Funny thing that struck me today when listening to the Morelos interview on air was how did he know he was being racially abused(not acceptable for anyone to experience) or insults being levelled at his poor mother when he quite clearly does not speak the English Language or why bother to use a translator
I had much the same query Mick – especially when you consider some of the local patois. A man still requiring a translator after two and a half years is suddenly an expert in Parliamo Glasgow? Curiouser and curiouser…
I think those very same thoughts ran through the minds of just about everyone with more than two brain cells to rub together.
Unfortunately, sevconians with two brain cells to rub together are a rarity.
Or maybe it’s fortunate. Two brain cells rubbing together would probably start a fire in their poor wee heids.
Sure I said on a previous thread prior to all the evidence coming out that his car is almost impossible to tamper with.
His interview on the other hand wasn’t as tamper proof, much like his temper.
Funny how racists always decry racism, I’m all for reformed characters but yet to see it over at Ibrokes.
Quality work once again Phil 👏🏼👍🏼
Meanwhile the banter years continue unabated and unrelenting 😘
Another puff piece by what sounded like George Galloway chewing a curly wurly.
The whole interview reeked of Jabba, Amateurish to say the least. They will go to any lengths to paint this picture of a deeply misunderstood footballing genius when the reality is,
1, he’s a pound shop Chris Boyd,
2, he’s a cheat, both in the game and with behind his wife’s back and
3, he has a uncontrollable temper when players get the better of him.
This Morelos couple don’t half waste police time. Firstly Morelos claims racial abuse without one iota of evidence to back up his claim, The police are still investigating BTW, It’s only been 36 days since the Glasgow derby…and now his misses is denying she hired Dick Tracy to put a tracker on his car?
If Fredo’s misses is not behind Dick Tracy investigates then who is?. I wouldn’t put it past King to have a player tailed for any dirt he can find when it comes to negotiations on a new Contract. King has previous, Just ask Charlotte.
It was a ticket from the fashion police and I think he got off lighly!
Meant as a reply to Botany Boy’s Ntcham’s link.
“What’s for you won’t pass you by” and the tsunami of shit heading towards Sevco will not be diverted.
Enjoy it when it comes and let’s not get caught up in the spray.
I gather at the end of the interview, when asked if he had a message for the Rangers fans, his reply was, “I love you too.”
Because on first hearing it I was sure he said, “Hello you two.” Now even I know there’re more than TWO orcs out there.
It really was cringe worthy listening.
You can be a wanker no matter what colour your are. Thats why the Colombian manchild gets stick. Throwing himself to the ground, peering through his fingers to see if the refs on the job.
Not a single offer for him in the window. If so we would have been treated to the full monty by the media……. And how Rangers turned down sqillions to hold on to Alfie.
Does this lack of incoming revenue not give them a wee problem in seeing out the season?
Let’s just do our talking on the pitch.

Its amazing how sky can interview a professional football player that has had the most red cards in the country. Had been red carded twice for making inappropriate gestures to fans and the main agenda is about the abuse he has got!…… So it’s the Scottish football supporters that are the biggest problem! Nothing to do with the fact the guy has probably violently assaulted one of their players from every club at one time or another and got away with it.
If you are a professional footballer you have to expect abuse from both your own supporters when you are not pulling you weight and from opposing sides when you do a reckless tackle on one of their players. Weather that’s right or wrong is not the issue.
What is an issue is when that abuse turns to racial abuse. That has NEVER been the case as far as it goes for Morelos. As of yet there had not been one shred of evidence to support that claim. At the Glasgow Darby there must have been 30+ reporters there all with camers and microphones. Plus the TV camers and not one of them picked up any racist abuse from the supporters. Yet the SMSM reported it as fact.
No wonder Scottish football will always be laughed at by the English.
Every over the hill clapped out footballer that had an ok career in England is portrayed as a massive signing for any Scottish club. Not by the fans but by the SMSM. They run it down so much why the fuck would Sky or BT want to put in a genuine bid for the tv rights!
Then they run with stories like this about Morelos! So Scottish football is absolute shite where knackered out footballers are the stars, and the Scottish football supporters are racist…
We have had enough genuine racist abusive stories from one set of supporters targeted at Celtic players and managers without the need to be making up stories to bring Scottish football down any more.
Well said and it needed to be said.
It’s like a form of self harm.
The huns are in pain so the rest of us need to share in that pain apparently.
No intention of sharing their suffering. I intend to enjoy every twist of the knife.
They are under pressure now. We NEED to keep our foot on their neck and the way to do that is keep winning games. Two more draws or ONE defeat before we drop anything, because we will at some point, and I’m convinced they’ll implode.
Win this title and it will be as many as we want. As Phil has said repeatedly the only thing that will stop us is our own complacency.
Nine was a world record I believe when we did it. I think the present record is fourteen. Let’s set that as a minimum target and I’ll die a happy man. If live long enough to see it. Which given the abuse my liver takes is no gimme…..and as happy as a miserable bastart like me gets!!!
Charger if the vim n vigour in your comments are anything to go by,you’ll defo see fourteen,fifteen n many more…I sincerely hope🍀
As ever,thanks Phil,on the ball as per🇮🇪
Off topic …but…
My original thought on this post, was to congratulate Captain Scot Brown on his fantastic achievement of 700 games…but it also got me thinking of other Captains who have served the Club over the years.
I won’t mention them all…but I’ll start with the first Celtic Captain I saw.
The year was 1956 and he was Bobby Evans.
Younger readers won’t remember him…but he is worth looking up…an excellent player in a desperately average side.
Since then I have watched players such as Bertie Peacock….Duncan McKay…Billy McNeill…Kenny Dalglish…Danny McGrain…Roy Aitken and Paul McStay…and others too numerous to mention…lead our team onto the field.
What a feeling that must be.
But back to our present leader…
He will go down in our history as one of the all time greats ….and it will be thoroughly deserved.
His commitment to the Club…both on and off the field….cannot be measured ….but it will be remembered.
Thanks for everything Broony.
Well said. Behind only Cesar in my book. And then only for one very obvious reason.
Aye Charger…I know why….he was instrumental in a wonderful piece of our history.
I was honoured to have met Big Billy on numerous occasions…and if you didn’t know what his profession was…you’d never have guessed.
He was always impeccably dressed…he was intelligent…and articulate …and a pure gentleman.
I still think, however, that Broony will be instrumental in another wonderful piece of our history…and so I’d put him on the same level as Big Billy.
Hail hail
Captaining a side to a triple treble, at least, is a wonderful achievement. I think he would need four more titles after this to hold a record number of Scottish Champions medals. I doubt he can go on that long. Even if he did, Forrest would probably surpass it the following season.
Denizens of Ibrox predictably jumped the gun about Morelos’ Lamborghini drama. All with the adherence of our fine upstanding ‘journalists’. Now as a deflection from this poor man’s soap opera, they’re focusing on reported racism. Some analogies spring to mind about this. Shouting anti Orange comments to players might not be advisable. But it’s akin to black Americans waylaying the KKK. Both institutions spew out similar hatred and intolerance. The Columbian still hasn’t figured out he’s playing for Europe’s most xenophobic club.
Well put. The irony is NOT lost on anyone with a modicum of intellect. Entirely lost on them obviously.
Phil, not some but all of ra peepal are Revolting.
I am not that pc or woke myself but even I am beginning to think this is verging on abuse of the mentally challenged.
I’m so un-pc I don’t know what “woke” is!!!
Feel free to enlighten me!
Gods knows!
Can we just take a moment to salute the press pack for their heroic role in all of this?! https://theclumpany.wordpress.com/2020/02/02/clue-doh/
The Scottish Hun also carried this piece below. Can’t remember ever having read a more frivolous, nonsensical news story than this. Apparently the SFA Compliance Officer is now considering a charge against N’tcham for bringing the game into disrepute although it’s not clear whether it is for the parking ticket or the sparkly tracksuit he was reportedly wearing.

Being allowed to repeat the racial narrative is outrageous.. Hope the celtic power brokers have legal teams on stand by.. The boys reputation is untenable this mornings interview was car crash tv, cringy to say the least.. The deady bears have an unsellable asset, toxic doesnt cover it.. Good enough for them
They’ve NEVER done anything about it before. I won’t hold my breath on that one now.
