Celtic Never Done Dallas, Where’s This Dossier?
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.
