Remember when Craig Whyte sold Jelavic for £5m? Part of that money was owed to Rapid Vienna, which reduced the net amount somewhat. But then, nobody concentrated on that. Sell-on clauses, development fees etc are all part-and-parcel in football nowadays. Everyone knows that no matter what is paid for a footballer, the team receiving the fee does not get the full amount. It makes no difference to what the sale price was; until now, that is.
The recent sale of Wanyama has the starving agnivores falling over themselves to point out that the full £12.5m will not be going into Celtic's coffers. We all know that but our arse-kissing media and Ersatz FC blogs make out that this is the first time it has ever happened. No doubt it sticks in their craw that Celtic has managed to sell somebody for double figures and they're desperately trying to downplay it. Desperate is, of course, the operative word!
Speaking of desperate, I see Operation Deflect is still in overdrive. The clutching-at-straws claims that Celtic is involved in some kind of financial irregularities continue apace. They've even started mentioning it on newspaper websites. What I find hilarious is that somebody posts a huge pile of gobbledegook, which Stephen Hawking would struggle to understand, and then the rest of the Ersatzers congratulate the one posting, saying 'Keep up the good work,' etc. They never discuss the content because they understand it no more than the rest of us!
Meanwhile they're all going daft at singing that allegedly took place at Solitude Park. Supposedly, the BBC 'turned down the volume' so that we would not hear it. How the hell this is achieved is never explained. I know there's lots of hi-tech equipment available these days but somehow I don't think that what they are claiming is feasible in a live broadcast. The true story is that it tends to be just a small minority that sing these IRA songs, which means that you usually have to strain to hear them. A telling point is that I know none of the lyrics of these songs, but I know plenty of the lyrics of the 'Billy Boys' etc because I've heard mass choirs belting them out on many occasions!
And so on to the friendly against Brentford. Reading some of the Ersatz blogs you would think that a full-scale riot had happened to rival the disgusting scenes in Manchester five years ago. Having a look at Brentford blogs, however, paints a different picture. Many of the Bees' supporters seem to have had a good day and are thanking Celtic fans for providing a great atmosphere. Somebody uploaded a video of the 'pitch invasion' and you'd be lucky to count a hundred people. The Brentford supporters mostly find it hiliarous that these Celtic fans were celebrating as if they'd just won the Champions League! There is no talk of damage or fighting and official figures show that there was ONE arrest.
Ever since the rioting in Manchesters the Rangers, and, subsequently, the Ersatz, supporters have been desperate to tar Celtic supporters with the same brush. A few drunks getting rowdy at Dens Park, some idiots chanting at friendlies, a few drunks invading the pitch at Brentford and some unsavoury chants at Solitude Park are all blown up in a pathetic attempt to bring Celtic down to their level. Ironically, while the 'chanting' was going on at Solitude Park, only a couple of miles away Ersatz supporters were involved in pitched battles with police! They really have no shame!
And finally, the tale of the burnt buses in Lanarkshire. They're all claiming that this was some 'sectarian' action in destroying their team's state-of-the-art coach. It has been shown that the fire was, indeed, started deliberately. Rather coincidentally, there were many gas cylinders being stored in the garage at the time. What does that suggest to you?
There is also the fact that Paul McConville mentioned on his blog a while back that this coach was a bit of a slap in the teeth for the Easdales. Allegedly, the Brothers Grim have previous for this sort of action against rivals; so, again, the Ersatzers are on the wrong track.
I haven't been posting quite so regularly just now because, as I said before, I'm working on another non-selling blockbuster novel! I'm nearly finished so I should be back to normal soon.
P.S. I've started writing on my other blog in support of the YES vote for Scottish independence. I'm getting fed up with the lies and misinformation being peddled by the MSM. The link is over on the top right.
Did yez see that headline, 'Coach on Fire'? Ah telt yez Ah wis good at ma joab!
