The Lotw Diary Thursday
Maybe it’s nerves. Maybe it wis the cheese I had at 8 o’clock last night. But whatever it was I had a strange dream. Rugby Park was the venue and we HAD won the league. GS was doing an interview and he had a go at the support. I think he did. There were no faces, it was bit like CCTV footage wie flesh coloured blobs round folk’s faces, but only voices. It was all a bit Life On Mars. Was it real, was it a coma, did he kill himself?
So from 2 o’clock this morning ma mind has been racing wie thoughts that maybe we are being too hard on the man in charge. Maybe ma subconscious is pulling me back from hunnish thinking by slagging a manager who is winning things and taking us to far of lands never reached before. Maybe I shoulnae have listened to Radio Snide’s phone in.
I usually abstain from Scottish Fitbaw phone ins. We know the script one is pro ger the other a joke wie two clowns who readily admit to knowing sod all aboot the game. Talksport is ma beef but wie Ian Wright now on drivetime, one guy who really annoys me, then alternative listening is the name of the game.
We were getting it in the neck from the panel regarding oor criticism of players and the manager. Stats were trotted oot but no in-depth look at the performances or reasoning behind decisions was forthcoming. Then this morning in the Herald Darryl Bentfoot trots out some lackie who deals wie psychobabble and fires a numpties observation that GS problem is he never played for us, he is not catholic or Irish.
Whit a load of tosh, for the majority. Sorry to say that some in the support have that view but it is not one shared by the majority. I really couldnae care that GS is not any of the above. I’m not catholic or Irish either does that mean I’m not accepted at CP either? Fact is we are questioning his decision making due to the fact the team is looking jaded and we feel he has players wie skills to pay the bills in the locker to freshen things up.
What is annoying me more is we are given the meeja a perfect platform to promote their Celtic in crisis agenda. A platform to show us the fans in a bad light and it will only get worse if GS leaves. The meeja reaction to that happening is not worth thinking aboot. They won’t question the culture side of thing that GS has mentioned a few times in interviews. We will get the blame and rightly so, as we will be as guilty as the ned who abused oor manager in the street.
I’m hoping the winning of the league changes the attitude and feeling of the support that has made the last few weeks quite sickening. Maybe when it’s all over some will look in the mirror and realise they didnae like what was staring back at them.

If things were going too well then the blogs would be a lot quieter.
Some people always have reasons to take a dislike to people. I honestly think that the red faced foul mouthed moaner only does so because they are disappointed with their own lives.
As for phone ins, you would think that knowing that your name and whereabouts are being read out on the radio would make the caller soften the message. To counteract this the likes of Derek Johnstone and Hugh Keevins are there. They try to twist the view of the caller, they add 2 and 2 and make 5. How there is doubt about that penalty on Saturday I`ll never know. There you are, an argument about the obvious.
Gordon Strachan is a tough cookie. Was it Coventry fans who told him that he didn`t know what he was doing? He knows that for every moaner there are others who back him. As for substitutions every manager has had the bird. It happens, they will tell you that they don`t see things like a fan.
All of this will fade into the air when the league is won. :-)
He did get the sky blues relegated and oor resident midlander Baldy has made it quite clear what the coventry fans think of him.
Often wonder what Southampton fans think..he took them to Europe a cup final then left. Relegation sooned followed..i wonder if they would take him back.
Phone in's peddle to numpties and numpties call in.
XFM and Radio 2 from now on between 5 and 7.
Or an e-mail to talksport to sack Ian Wright..who some hoops fans were backing the other night....charlatans.
a player who has just been released by the hoops, his da knows a pal of mine..yes that kind of rumour.
anyway..he says Doumbe is woeful...the american should not be seen again as he is not that guid...and the reason Deek is not the favourite of the manager is that he makes Dider Agathe look interested in training.
Kind of backs up the managers excuse for the sub....
Don`t we all love those insider snippets!
I think that Deek may be benefiting from his casual approach as everyone else is trained oot!
I agree that Riordan did look done in when I saw the game on TV and he had just missed a fairly easy chance.
Forza Bhoys!
Haven't watch the game again on Tv but i have read a few reports that the sub was maybe justified...maybe not KM coming on justified right enough.
Yes, i'v had that insider one for a few weeks...
Come on the Bhoys on Sunday!
enjoy yer hols ian...i think yer away though....
