A week has past since the witch was removed. I’m still disappointed over the way he went. In fact it leaves a taste in my mouth like I’m attempting to eat Frankie Boyles beard.
I wanted Dallas to go because he was a cheat and a liar. Him getting sacked because of his own stupidity is not worth celebrating or writing scores of righteous celebratory comments, that often numbered hundreds off words, which after you read about 10 of them makes the whole event feel as important as someone moaning about roadworks on a roundabout.
He’s gone by default. His exit proves that the SFA is inadequate. Have you every heard something so ludicrous as a CEO being unable to sack an employee because he lied and can only remove the said employee after someone leaks an e-mail that he forwarded on and it’s deemed so offensive that 2 national newspapers published it without any fear of offending anyone.
Dallas didn’t go for his crime. He went because the clamour for him to go saw his employer look for any excuse. If he had been caught taking too long for a $hit he would have been up on a disciplinary.
His partner Dougie McDonald retired and his parting shots showed the same blinkered arrogance that means he won’t be a miss to the refereeing game. He knew his continuation as a ref was damaging the already shot creditability of his friends strike-with-no-reason. Others like Craig Thompson, Jim McKendrick, have been mourning the loss of Dallas like grandmothers grieving war dead.
No-one will grieve them when they are gone. Not even lonely widows who have run out of batteries.
They’re living on borrowed time and they know it. Same as those cloven hoofed blazers who make up the committees in the SFA and the SPL. They and the media know this.
The media are now turning their sights on Stuart Regan saying that he is not up to the task and ignoring that he couldn’t do his job properly – like sacking Dallas and McDonald when the time was right – due to the clog like workings of the SFA.
The SFA is like an old chip shop fryer that never gets cleaned. Old batter and grease is stuck to the bottom and sides but instead of cleaning it the chip shop owner, learning from the previous chip shop owner, just keeps on frying until one day the you get a batter-grease-lard-supper.
If Regan does his job correctly then years of gunk will be removed. This spells danger for the media.
So, with McDonald and Dallas gone, not via the reasons why they should have gone but gone none the less, will this supposed dossier that Celtic have/had/made up ever see the light of day?
Every passing day that it doesn’t get released makes me wonder whether the Hand Of Reid has been calling our bluffs on this. With Paul McBride QC being the only Celtic-minded source that has broke ranks spoke about Dallasgate recently I think this dossier is bull$hit.
McBride came on saying that Celtic didn’t want to seem smug and gloating while he was doing that exact thing. If he had went on the Beeb and just screamed: “Naaa naaa na na na” then blew a big raspberry Celtic’s happiness status would have been confirmed.
It begs the question why would Celtic send a high ranking lawyer to some radio station to fight their corner? Give the impression of power prehaps?
Either what we may have is great and earth shattering or worthless now Dallas is gone. If it concerns the changing of match reports to hide incompetence and for a party line to get toed then it’s underwhelming, disappointing – though still shocking – and useless now.
If it could have be used to prove Dallas as a cheat and we never brought it into the public domain then I will force John Reid to use it as toilet paper.
While thousands are words are typed, spoke and thought about this dossier that is meant to be so good that it will defeat all evil, melt the snow and get the roadworks on the M80 completed on time I’m at the back, listening to my ipod to drown out the inane wittering this has caused, frankly bored of this posturing.
Until we see the end-game I reckon this dossier is the biggest pile of $hit since the script of the last season of Waterloo Road was delivered to the BBC.
If they had the balls to bring this out in the open, the smug pricks left in the game would maybe stop whinging that they are so hard done by! Dallas was always anti-Celtic and his clear bigotry just proved what we have all been saying for years. The issue that remains is that guys like Dougal, and Brines remain to carry on the legacy dallas left behind when he was NOT publicly slammed.
That’s what makes me think we have nothing.
I too think it is crap
why did Paul67 even mention it?
I think he was also led down the garden path
poor show all round
It really depends the length of the path.
At the moment the path is yellow and bricked, but ‘snowed’ off literally until a resolution.
Off track a bit, I know Debbie did Dallas, so did Waltie, i had to get that out of the way, i have type-oidial tourettes fuck blink wanker ferguson.
Now a subject change, but I have often pondered after “that old firm match” did he ever get that coin out of his spastic spongebob like skull and wonder “Hey maybe I did something fucking wrong there that day?”.
Or did the blue hand backhander ease the pain. The bowler hat wearing, pop tart eating old cunting mogwai. Fuck Dallas. Glad hes gone.
Of course I’m glad he is gone but he never went as a direct consequence of that day in 99 or his rumoured bias. In fact he was found not guilty though guilty as sin.
Frankie Boyle doesent have a beard mucker!
He did on C4 on Wednesday.
OK, if Mr Boyle hasn’t got a beard just think of something hairy and Ginger. If that doesn’t take you down the road of Geri Halliwells minge then your a better man than me.
You guys are forgetting….we live in BIGOTED WEE SCOTLAND…where normal rules don’t apply….
Yes it would have been terrific if Dallas had been sacked for lying , being complicit, cheating etc……but…hey ..that was NEVER going to happen…so let’s just celebrate that another odious obnoxious tosser has been removed from power…..
As for the “Dossier”….who knows ?? I certainly don’t…although “a source” assures me it exists..
I can only hope it does…and we use it.
Great points. Still annoyed though.
maybe the dossier points to “someone else” who ordered the changes to be made and the outcome will only be revealed if that “other person” does not get the sack or resigns
Who though? Peat? He’s just a goat no worth the hassle.
@Mike Bhoyle
Good point. Who will replace him? I reckon the corpse of Saddam Hussain would do a better job than Dick Dastardly Dallas.
Imagine ending up with Willie Young. Oh.
Sean I agree with your thinking and understand
your anger,we are all angry, but do you have to
use such vulgarity and profanity. Get yourself
a dictionary. There are plenty of words you can
use to get the point across.Do not swear at me
in your response.Dictation in proper english has
a greater impact.Believe me.
Eh? This is not daytime Itv. Football forum where things may get said that may offend. Tea and biscuits are available at the Darby and Joan.
Good piece mate.
I reckon this dossier was hot, steaming and brown. As for Mr Spiers having his story being blocked – as his twitter said – a great sory if it wasn’t total pap!
We all know the SFA is rotten to the core. All these wee committees, of wee men, from wee teams deciding what happens with the big teams. We all know it’s just one big clique with lots of little cliques inside.
I hope Stewart Regan has the baws and the time to sort it out.
I for one am delighted that an ‘outsider’ has been brought in to lead this “organisation”. I hope he has the baws (and the time to) sort it out.
I do not believe that we Celtic fans are looking for any preferencial treatment. All we want is a fair crack of the whip.
Speirs is begining to smell like a fat mans judo suit.
Dossier & Reid.. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
nowwhere have we heard that before???? Obviously the match report was changed to look good after the utd game. Added to that are the comments from Redknapp ( i think) saying that EPL refs get their story made up and we went with the dossier to scare the beejesus out of the SFA..
Can you believe anything Redknapp says? John Reid if he was a cockney.
Spiers on twitter says the dossier is just hot air and he is glad it has proven to be rubbish. I have missed something?
@Andrew
Well venting my anger in subjective bursts at those emotively affecting, and like hungry wolves surrounding and preying upon the club I love is my own way of therapy.
Feel free to educate yourself in the freedom of speech. Notice, pause for a re-read maybe at the above, no swear words. I won’t lower myself to your level.
Technically you did swear. “Dictation” head.
