The record has been anti Celtic for as long as I can remember - just off the top of my head, the hearse sent to CP when it looked like we might go under, the Thugs, thieves headline, the time they put a 4 page spread on the 10th? anniversary of rangers battle with leeds on the day we had a big CL night and the new team were still languishing in the championship (I wonder what sector of the population they were aiming for?), negativity in our transfers / positivity in theirs - much as I don't want to see anyone losing their jobs, I won't miss the record or its biased reporting - or the sunday post and its sectarian employment policy (no papes need apply).
This, and their refusal to question, criticise, investigate, the shenanigans at the death star, which will ultimately kill them off, and will no doubt result in unpaid creditors, and job losses so feck them.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepLOUD AND PROUD Celtic’s win against Zenit St Petersburg was one of the finest European nights at Parkhead says Bill Leckie
The margins between them going over to Russia 1-0 up or 4-0 up were as thin as the sole on a modern-day boot

I sit above (to the left) of the GB ) and I heard it.

With the adrenaline flowing, Walk On just finished, they belted that out a few (myself included) sang it.

On behalf of myse l f and CFC I apologise.
Wasn’t the GB who started it, came from the Celtic end.
On the one (and only) occasion when the UK media don't blame the Russians for something :ponder:

Fair do's.

I only heard iit at our end and followed (like an old sheep) the crowd singing.

I wasn't trying to apportion blame on the GB.

Look forward to Leckie highlighting the Sevco party tunes at their next game. Maybe a mention of their disgraceful Lisbon lions chant? No chance. Another Hun biased plonker who just has to get a wee snide line or two in.

Bill Leckie has a good piece on the game last night, until he has a wee dig at the GB.
Possibly couldn't help himself but then again I'm sure he will report what he hears when rangers play at the weekend.

Was at the game and I for one never heard the up the Ra at the start of the game. I maybe wrong but did anyone else hear it prior to kick off or is it just that carrots selective hearing? :thumbsup:

I sang it and always do.

It's a nonsensical song with nonsense lyrics that can be interpreted anyway you want.

If haters want to be offended they'll be offended.

Imagine singing a song called the Celtic Symphony at a Celtic game.

Scumbags the lot of them. The song is about following Celtic.

Leckie is trying to stay relevant.

The record was a good paper in the past - used to have a social conscience and campaigned for the working class. In the past though. The last 20 years has saw its integrity disappear, it’s content dumb down and through it’s vain attempts to please everyone has ended up pleasing no one.

Successive editors must take their share of the blame - they are the captains of the ship. The record was in decline but the moment it decided to peddle the great lie and refuse to properly investigate the biggest sporting (and arguably financial) scandal in Scotland’s history was the day it signed its own death warrant. Virtually the only accurate reporting of the Hun demise has come from English journalists. This media portrayed as defender of the people and slayer of corruption simply does not exist in Scotland and hadn’t for years. I should be sad at the demise of the record, but the paper I grew up reading and that campaigned for many good causes died more than 20 years ago. I’ve already mourned its passing.

I'll criticize and always will do. The singers want to offend and get stroppy if anybody has the temerity to disagree.

The whole stadium does not sing the ‘ooh ah up the ra’ bit though

I’m only basing that on being at games and using my eyes and ears

I sit in the family section granted but the song goes v quiet at that point in all fairness

That’s not made up it’s just what actually happens during the symphony song

After a lifetime in the newspaper industry, the one thing I believe that most readers won't tolerate is being lied to. They will accept any amount of squirming, shuffling and plays upon words from their favourite newspaper to avoid stating uncomfortable truths but draw the line at outright lying unless it's to do with national security, when they just look away. That's been my experience anyway.

All the major Scottish titles made a pact with the devil to lie about the death of Rangers and Sevco Scotland's subsequent emergence as a new club. None wanted to be blindsided but all of them have been -- it was a catastrophic miscalculation. The decline in Scottish circulations in the past five years has far exceeded the rate of decline in other countries I take an interest in, as far as I can see. It's certainly greater than it has been in Ireland, where newspapers still enjoy a measure of trust and where smart phone use is just as widespread.

Even people with little or no interest in football must have been stupified at how the papers turned on a sixpence in handling the Rangers story and the brazenness of the continuation lie. If they can lie in your face about something as inconsequential as football, what else are they lying about? The final irony is that the demographic they were desperately trying to hold on to distrusts them as much as we do, but for different reasons.

It should all have been so different. Had it been, it would all be over now and the narrative would be how quickly could the new club rise to challenge Celtic? They might even have evoked some sympathy from the naive and the bien-pensants but not from me, the dirty cheating bastards.

Well said Torque. And as you say , the irony is that the audience that they chose to play to distrusts them as much as we do. The rectum has pampered billy with fake news and anti-Celtic stories for as long as I can remember. It has served the previous and current aye-brokes clubs with distinction. It has whored itself to the bigot dome , a willing vehicle of propaganda, and yet it is despised by the very pee-poh whom it has sought to please.
If it goes down the swanny, good effin riddance.

The new guy in charge Digital David Dick will fare no better with the Rectum Rag , all they ahve done in recent times is scrape stories from Bloggers and Twitter with little or no accreditation or thanks .
I doubt if any "journos" there actually get off their jacksie for a story , just waiting on people like Jabba :boik: to feed them their pitch for the day .
