John Swinney blasting Lurgan Flopp on his suggestion that the attack on Celtic is Politically motivated.

[Robocop1960]

I hope Walker is on tonight...

I dont think Walker would question him about it

 

[Ubik]

Makes a mockery of the claims that the SNP is somehow aligned with Celtic.

the fact the mentally challengeds got tax payer money to do up their stadium and surrounding land was sheer luck.

 

[Yer da]

I hope he stays until the end of the season and continues to make a complete arse of himself. His first press conference after we secure the league will be delicious.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Tbf swines has publicly chastised the ratbag you can only imagine the costs of this for Celtic - my advice is don’t do any more effigies or you will do time

 

[DEJA BLUE]

Flopp agitating the scottish government, what can he possibly be trying to achieve ? ...I'm scratching my head here thinking, totally bewildered...mmm w4nker

 

[CooperOnTheWing]

I'll say it again, you can't be a Nationalist and a Rangers fan, they are incompatible. Any Separatist should %^*& right off from our support.

...writes Jacob Rees-Mogg.

 

[Robocop1960]

He turned after getting married to his second wife.

My father for as long as I can remember told me that a turncoat was worse than a born and bred one and I havent had any reason to think different.

 

[Ardoyne RSC]

21 points clear, full meltdown is happening, and now Celtic vrs the SNP, it's glorious, takes Tim on Tim fighting to a new level.

Hope they both lose.

I agree, but when I heard Clancy is the ref, I think they will both win.
But win what? that is the question.

 

[Krissie]

I’m tired of it now, just want Lennon to be sacked and emigrate to Australia never to be seen on these shores again (sorry to any Aussies on here). Feels like he’s on a mission to destroy Scottish football to save his own rancid skin. Enough already.

I wasn't alone in saying he should never have been brought back into the Scottish game. Point proven. He's trouble wherever he goes.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

the fact the mentally challengeds got tax payer money to do up their stadium and surrounding land was sheer luck.

4m or so just to host the CG Opening Ceremony & not one more event mate ?

Corruption.

 

[Cammy Fraser's Tache]

He turned after getting married to his second wife.

Who the fuk needs to do this nowadays? Unless, of course, they want to....

 

[flootbon]

When Swinney criticises any other person does he say "I wish ...... no I'll will". Would he say that about Starmer or Johnson ?

Walking on egg shells with Lennon. Pathetic.

 

[flootbon]

Makes a mockery of the claims that the SNP is somehow aligned with Celtic.

Swinney wishes Lennon no " ill will."

Why is he saying that ? Because he's walking on egg shells. Terrified of upsetting them.

 

[Krissie]

Swinney wishes Lennon no " ill will."

Why is he saying that ? Because he's walking on egg shells. Terrified of upsetting them.

He has probably been warned the next card out the Lennon box of tricks will be the mental health one. If they get beat tonight it will be firmly on the table before the weekend, guaranteed.

 

[Alex Venters]

Swinney is an ex BB boy, so I doubt he's a mentally challenged.

Remember there's a decent size minority of our support who are nationalists, unfortunately.

He's worse than a mentally challenged.

 

[Alex Venters]

The even better thing is that thousands of yahoos will stop voting for the SNP due to this

They won't,more's the pity.

 

[Barrymoped]

I really hope Boydy is on tonight, saying very little, even being slightly sympathetic........but smiling while saying it. Will cause their heads to explode.

 

[stonewall Jackson]

Lennon will refuse to speak to Sky tonight I think.

I predicted, wrongly, that the tramp would have been removed prior to the game tonight.However It appears that he is untouchable and has some strange mystical hold over Lawwell. So unless the mentally challengeds have been told they must honour their contractual obligations and speak to the sponsors I reckon the tramp will send some other minion to do the pre/post match interviews.

 

[Alvor]

Lennon must be on team Salmond

 

[Family bam]

Both organisations utter c.unts!!

 

[flootbon]

He has probably been warned the next card out the Lennon box of tricks will be the mental health one. If they get beat tonight it will be firmly on the table before the weekend, guaranteed.

Yes don't upset Lenny.

A fixture cancelled for him to take his team to Dubai. There they flaunt Covid regulations. One of his players catches the bug.

He then comes back and criticises the Scotland squad, government officials, the NHS, two fellow member clubs, football pundits and Sky TV.

But John Swinney wishes you no ill will Lenny. You really are great guy.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Swinney wishes Lennon no " ill will."

Why is he saying that ? Because he's walking on egg shells. Terrified of upsetting them.

Equally flootbon he has now publicly termed his comments ‘appalling’ that is a strong condemnation of him . Under the covers they really have to be blowing there influence.

True. Or pay a small fine, like what Man Utd did to the BBC every week for years when Alex Ferguson refused to speak to them.

 

[Sam English]

Must be the only time that I've ever agreed with stuttering Jock.

 

[ScottishJournalismIsDead]

If #CelticThePaedoClub hadn't refused Covid testing prior to the Hibernian game - a positive test would have been identified earlier.

Think about that.

Has Scotland had Enough of Celtic?

 

[PT98]

Lennon will refuse to speak to Sky tonight I think.

Is that not in breach of contract?

 

[Riccles]

And the BBC continue to peddle their lies, from BBC Scotland Sport website:

"Celtic were granted approval in November by the government and football authorities to embark on the January trip."

No name attributed to said article.

 

[ScottishJournalismIsDead]

Is that not in breach of contract

When you need Government approval to go for a pint......

They'll send out the brave, miraculous hero Sir John Kennedy that nobody knows is.

 

[flootbon]

Johnson : Starmer, you views on school meals are appalling, but I wish you no ill will.

Just takes the sting out of it. Just hedges it a bit.

 

[Remo-town]

I was told about it just over a year ago. She lives two streets away from my mother mate.

They made her leave the tennis court.

Thanks grigo for leaving that impression on my mind.

Her on the tennis court was bad enough, but the mentally challenged top. Too far

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Exactly RT. Horrible woman. In more than one way.

 

[Lairdo]

Technically this is a "Tim on Tim" spat.

Mr Swinney did attend a non-denominational school in Edinburgh (which also educated Allan McGregor and Lee Wallace) and had his first marriage within the Church of Scotland. However, this was annulled to enable him to marry in a RC ceremony on 26th July 2003.

It is surprising that a RC SNP MSP (nice acronyms) is antagonising a RC sporting institution*.

*The links between Celtic and the Catholic Church cannot be denied (Scottish Catholic Observer, October 2017).

That last paragraph is sinister Lairdo, in light of their behaviour towards children.

 

[Gogso]

They will send out an assistant kit man to mumble from behind a mask.

 

[gersin008]

2 absolute prks but if it comes down to a war of words the politician won't get beat. I would prefer if they had a real fight

 

[Gogso]

How can any one believe Swinney is remotely competent enough to mastermind such a dastardly conspiracy?

 

[Randomscotsman]

The rats are turning on each other, great to see the snp finally buckling and criticising their core voter base

He's on a rolling contract and they don't want to pay him off. They want him to walk.
Stalemate.

 

[Rickymck]

Hard to pick a loser between Celtic and the SNP.

I’d probably still pick SNP.

Let's go for permanently wounded and Fataly wounded

 

[Malbec]

Is that not in breach of contract?

It'll be the "strachan has led the team for the last 2 games and I thought it would show respect to him bla bla bla"

 

[Carltonblue]

Tim on Tim fighting

lovely

I'd give Swinney hauners v Lennon if needed.

 

[BlueHaze]

He turned after getting married to his second wife.

It was reported that he got his first marriage annulled so that he could bring any children with his new wife up as R.C.s.

 

[Eighteen Seventy Two]

All fine and dandy this tim v tim, but are these bastards actually going to receive any kind of punishment for any of their carry on or his mouthing off?
Take it Clerr is keeping up her new vow of silence?

This...? The sound of silence.

 

[Barrymoped]

I'd give Swinney hauners v Lennon if needed.

I’d personally be hoping they both KO each other.

Me too, I am amazed he is still in charge. PR non existent. Must be all about money.

 

[blue barney]

Me too, I am amazed he is still in charge. PR non existent. Must be all about money.

Must be. Lennon knows if he gets sacked in contract he gets a pay off. Looks like he’s trying to get fired but they arnt biting.

 

[Barisic]

Surely the SFA have to charge popcorn teeth with bringing the game into disrepute.

 

[Bishybear30]

The two institutions in this world I hate the most at war. You hate to see it.

Our enemy’s enemy is our..... ENEMY

Swinney brands Lennon's Dubai defence 'appalling' as he says he was 'lost for words'

The deputy first minister said he was "lost for words" after hearing the Parkhead supremos explosive news conference on Monday.

www.glasgowtimes.co.uk

JOHN Swinney has branded Celtic manager Neil Lennon's claims criticism of the club's Dubai trip was "politically motivated" appalling.

The deputy first minister said he was "lost for words" after hearing the Parkhead supremos explosive news conference on Monday.

It was the first time Lennon had spoken publicly since the Hoops returned from their winter training camp during which he took aim at the media, politicians, and rival football clubs, accusing some of "rank hypocrisy".
Speaking on Radio Scotland today, Mr Swinney, who had previously criticised the club for the trip, was asked what he thought about the comments.


The education secretary said: "I am at a loss for words. I said a few weeks ago that it was a bad idea for Celtic to go to Dubai for this trip.

"It was not a great signal. I have no ill will towards Neil Lennon whatsoever but I think his comments were appalling."

He must have got permission from his wife or wants a divorce to say this

 

[Arkanoid]

Rangers hat off I think the general public who are not fans of football, dislike the old firm inherently anyway will now have an instant hatred for Celtic here
