The Village Idiot spends way too much of his time writing about Celtic without actually understanding the club. In truth, he spends too much of his time writing when he doesn’t actually understand writing, but that’s a debate for another day and in point of fact it’s one this blog has covered before. He is a fool, but he will take money from whoever pays him. It is on those who think he’s worth his salary to explain themselves.
Still, I am firmly of the mind that he should not be permitted to write on our club at all, not for any reason except when he’s admitting our superiority in every department. When he tries to tap into the Celtic mind-set he fails embarrassingly and lamentably.
His contention today that Celtic hired Rodgers out of fear of The Mooch and his team is absolutely barmy. His view on our Champions League hopes is pure bias talking, but springing in no small part from the utter ruination visited upon his own team last year.
Celtic does not make major strategic decisions based on what the club across the city does; that’s just a fact. In fact, when our club is making these sorts of choices it does not matter to us whether they are a shuddering mess over there or in fine fettle with plenty of money in directors loans flowing through the place … we focus on ourselves.
I know this is hard for him to believe. Their club, after all, makes every major decision based on how it impacts their relationship with us. Their signing policy is predicated on it, their choice of managers is based on it (within affordable limits; they could never have gone out and got a Rodgers) and even their commercial policies and ticketing arrangements are based on us … one of the reasons our club has spoken out against the Old Firm tag is we don’t need it.
Their entire business model is built on it. That’s the difference right there.
This has always been tough for this eejit to understand, but it’s because he sees things from their perspective, where everything is about Celtic. He imagines – because it’s all he can do – that we see things exactly the same way, through looking at them.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Sorry, are you talking about Boyd, Miller, Ferguson, Hutton, Johnston, McLeish, Thomson, McCann or Halliday??
Not sure who this exactly is as it doesn’t name anyone – but I think I remember Video Celts calling Kriss Boyd as The Village Idiot…
Well all I can say is that I’m always BOY’D at his fear of Celtic and I’m hugely BOY’D about his fear of our Brendan….
Bring on his tears for fears in Season 2023/24 !
James, who are you referring to as the village idiot?
There are so many idiots writing about Celtic, and could be any one of 50.
I dont buy the redtop rags so reading your columns is how i catch up.
not sure who you’re referring to as you don’t mention them by name.
It would be beneficial to your wider readership if you would name and shame the offender. A helluva lot of us Bhoys don’t read the ‘Sevco meegia’.
I haven’t bought a paper in over 15 years.I get my Celtic news from the Blogs and get current affairs & Politics through online subscription to serious News outlets.
So more details on the offence and offender would be appreciated.
I know some of your regular readers will moan that they come on here to read about Celtic not that other mob. But context is everything. We need to know what our enemies are saying/doing. For that is what they are, enemies who would do anything to destroy our Club. They hang on to our coat-tails with the O@# F@#£ mantra to give themselves relevance. If the roles were reversed they would cut us adrift and do everything to destroy us. Misplaced Protestant Superioity, ( apologies to genuine practitioners of that Faith), is their end game. Nothing less, because it sells seats and strips.
BTW I assume you’re talking about Kevins.
WTF has he done now?
sevco are small potatoes in the scheme of things, and these days Celtic has bigger fish to fry ( to continue the metaphor ).
Boyd gives village idiots a bad name.
The obsession these scum cheerleaders have about our club just isn’t going to ease up anytime soon.
Even these thick eejits know that we operate on a far higher level than the scum can only dream about joining.
The scum are looking for a demise in our ambitions, which remains a better option for such scum of catching us, than getting in players to do so.
Very little chance of that happening now with Rodgers in the dugout, and the quality on the pitch, which stands to increase upon last season also.
So BENNY Boyd of the nickel&dime journalists brigade has had a go at Brendan and he has only walked in the door.
Boyd makes Paul Gascoigne look like Bamber Gascoigne with the S***E he talks.
Also in The Sun(a think someone has been in the sun to long today)is an article comparing Raskin with Bellingham a think they mean the actress Lynda Bellingham.
At least she’s got the excuse of being dead for not performing.

It would be nice to know who the village idiot is as there are so many contenders.
How about narrowing the field down a bit, James
Forgive me, if I have misread the article, James, but you did not name the village idiot. Are you referring to Keevins? Boyd?McManus? Nicholas? Walker? Ach, ye get the point. ?
Hail Hail.
He’s a fuckin clown, with absolutely nae intelligent input whatsoever. Hopefully that smirk gets wiped aff his face repeatedly this season again.
Who are we talking about here, you never gave us a name. It could be any one of ten.
Ayrshire totty totally clueless ? HAIL HAIL
That village seems to be populated by nothing but edits.
There are many village idiots but only one Village Idiot, if you get my meaning; the kingpin, the head boy.
Kris Boyd will be The Village Idiot until someone stupider comes along.
That may take … a while.
That village seems to be populated by nothing but eejits.
Just watched BR press conference, it was steady if not exhilarating. So F ,the way I look at it is , I remember it like this, he gave us possible the best year’s with Scott Brown as our captain and I believe he will take CAL MAC our current captain to a new level and if that is possible BRILLIANT. We have a lot to look forward to. Hail Hail
James please look back at the archives ,we got brendan after we where beat in the semi final ,so we do look over to what’s happening.
Don’t believe that for a second! Ronnie team was very poor long before that game very change was coming regardless maybe we were going to games or tuned in then eh
Garbage even maybe you weren’t going to games or even tuned in at that time I meant as we were very poor loads a dishormany, one midweek goaless draw against dudee in the march I remember as I was just home from Sydney that week, it was horrendous so much apathy all over the place, players like Jamesy even wanting to leave even , thank God he didn’t! So Naw it wasn’t abouut the Huns ok that’s a fact! Geez peace with that pile a nonsense!
At the time of commenting I don’t know who the Village Idiot is, there’s a few of them about but I bet whoever it is supports Old Firm FC. (Kris Boyd ?)
