Regardless of what the support think of certain players, it would be a terrible move for him to be publicly slating our captain and one of the other most experienced players before he has even met the squad.
Is the correct answer

I don't usually read these rent-a-quote pieces but I agree, his ethos and his knowledge could inspire a generation.
Exciting times indeed. :rocker:
I was at a hun wedding last week. I was kinda worried as the person who invited me as their plus one had told the groom I was a big Celtic fan, really into it, blah, blah. My heart sank when they added that both bride and grooms families were really into the huns, orange order, masons etc. Worse - the wedding was in Armadale.

As the car drove down past the delights of High Academy Street we passed Windsor Hall (a puffed up scouts hut) with its Union Jack wafting high. A little further on was the Masonic Hall in all its tattered glory. 'That's it over' thought I 'if we go the other way to the reception we might never have to witness such spectacles again.' However, the church had a big union jack inside the porch and God Save the Queen was in the hymn book. I was surprised by this. I thought it was the National Anthem. I felt very low and was dreading the reception in case they got pissed and started fighting - probably with me! I felt so uncomfortable.

Well, I never enjoyed a reception so much. They were all nice enough. And they were all utterly, utterly depressed about our Brendan's appointment. Gloomy in the extreme. An ex Liverpool manager has far more kudos than an ex Brentford one. Silk vs Nylon, one might say. It was a truth universally acknowledged that a piss poor Celtic side had still won the league and they worried that the huns would be no competition next year. Rodgers could only improve the team. He could sign quality, manage well, get CFC through he qualifiers and our finances would outstrip theirs by even more millions. They were also unsure that one Joseph Anthony Barton would be sufficient to pierce the halo of Brendan Rodgers and stop us winning the league again.

It was all music to my ears. I just sat there, sipping my champagne, dreamily imagining halcyon days where all their deepest worries came true.
Lizzy is the head of the church. That will be why they have that song in the hymn book.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Is there not a resonable middle ground you could inhabit between declaring him the messiah and deciding it might all be going wrong based on some paper transfer talk and a few quotes about our current squad ?

Jus-sayinCSC
Your missing my point mate.
It's the board I'm worried about.
He'll really need to be the messiah, if he is going to be required to work with what our board have been giving lately.

I'm hoping against my recent evidence of experience, that he'll be given the means to make improvements - this means moving a lot on - especially the underperforming senior squad members.
I'm genuinely worried that he'll be convinced to keep them on & then stifle any possible progress.

I've been worried about this for ages & I'm yet to be convinced otherwise, as our deterioration in every possible department proves.

It's going to take a while before I'm confident of having a team who could do what Rodgers is talking about. It'll take more than him going to a few games years ago to change that - that's just where I am at the moment.

Really hoping he will help turn us around.
Jeez oh man you sound in a bad place. Do you seriously think BR would have taken the gig if he hadn't received adequate assurances around financial backing for his plans.

From what I've heard (oh no, not that phrase again) DD was behind the appointment and is committed to seeing him backed up. Yes, let's not believe he is the Messiah but the analysis of the Armadale buns is in my view spot on.

We were rancid in parts last year and still won the league with points and more importantly, goals to spare. They will have their hands full dealing with the sheep, the tarts, St Johnstone, Motherwell etc week in week out. This will not be like the championship where you can have a few weeks off playing lesser knowns back to back. This will be full blown and I can't see that they will stand the pace unless they radically strengthen.

We need to get into Europe and earn serious money and establish clear water between us and the rest for the foreseeable.

Onwards to 10iar! :arrr:

Her Maj is Defender of the Faith which means she has a role in Church of England and Church of Scotland since they are the established churches of the land. There is NO established church in Northern Ireland, it was disestablished in 1869. Thus all these years of cap doffing and Royal arse licking, was just wishful thinking from grown up orphans with abandonment issues desperately inventing 'mummy.' - I do have a mummy and don't you dare say I don't. She happens to be very rich and lives in a big palace far away and one day she will send for me - that type of scenario. And as much as Mr Paisley desperately claimed her for his own, she didn't see it that way. Doctorates supplied by loon balls from America for $100 dollars with 'I am a doctor of divinity' written in crayon, don't count as far as Lizzie is concerned. While such people would never publicly admit that Lizzie had disowned them it's generally accepted by them that this is the case, thus many don't take seriously the requirement to pay her, her taxes.

The church in Wales was disestablished in 1920. The Welsh were a bit more adult about it.

Parliament pushed through a series of Acts in the 1530's to make Henry VIII head of the Church of England. As we know, St Thomas More would not take the oath to accept this and Henry louped off his napper. Interestingly enough, no less than David Bowie commented that he had great respect for More's courage and principles but said that ultimately he did not die for a principle, but rather a dogma, and this made him, in Bowie's eyes at least, an idiot.

The Church of Scotland's relationship with the monarch was set out in the Act of Union of 1707 where the King is required to uphold the Church of Scotland (Defender of the Faith) but is NOT head of the Church, merely a member. Thus Lizzie is just a wench on a bench whenever she graces the kirk with Her royal posterior.

However, in recent times, Her majesty's role is going through somewhat of a period of change when Lord Russell of Brand declared her to be merely, "an old woman with a nice hat." And attempting to stifle a guffaw at the tragic death of a troublesome daughter-in-law, didn't do her any favours either. She has no relationship with the Churches of any of the Commonwealth countries which is just aswell since at Mick Jagger's wedding on the beach in the Caribbean, the 'meenister' sprinkled the couple with the blood of a sacrificed chicken. No very Presbyterian really, and certainly not high Anglican.

For these reasons, it must have stuck in many a craw that Her Maj opened the Commonwealth games at Celtic Park - and Ibrox was flung the bone of the pretend rugby tournament, the 'sevens.' The Establishment could never be seen to be rewarding any group of subjects who had stiffed the Queen for north of £160 million. This makes all the loyalist noise emanating from Ibrox even more hilarious because clearly, she wouldn't touch them with a Royal barge pole. Quite right, Ma'am! (As in jam.)

Joseph Barton.

Really enjoyed reading that.

Insightful, humorous and with the added bonus of the Huns getting a metaphorical toe in the baws.

Cheers.

Just quoting above me. As far as I know, the Queen is head of the Church of England; not the Church of Scotland.
