The House of Cards

Most of us knew it would happen but, personally, I thought it would take our first trophy to push them over the edge. But no, a single goal victory in a single match has done the trick.

The seeds were sewn in the summer when complacency and arrogance led them to think that a  squad actually weaker than the previous season (Dembele, Roberts out, Morgan in) would still be too strong for everyone else. Some of their support began to fidget but Big Peter and St Brenda had never failed them, right?

Defeats to Killie and Hibs increased the jitters as our European heroics indicated a steel and determination absent for so long. The fidgeting got worse as they announced a bonus of 2.3m for Big Peter yet couldn’t shake off Rangers or Killie in the league they had come to see as their own.

Their friends in the media stayed loyal, hounding Morelos at every turn and bigging up journeymen like Christie and Edouard as if they were world beaters. And of course, the loyal suppression of THAT story continued for the most part as the verdicts were reported but our courageous journalists steadfastly refused to join the dots.

Then it happened. St Brenda’s first defeat at the thirteenth hurdle. Their fourth defeat of the season matching the total of the previous two seasons combined. And the manner of the defeat was even more telling than the scoreline. Totally dominated and clueless.

They are creatures of habit and, true to form, they turned on the officials and the SFA (an organisation more loyal, valuable and reliable to them than a bloody guide dog to a blind man) in a major deflection operation. The rules which state that, if the referee saw an incident and chose not to act, then no further sanctions can be applied, surely couldn’t apply here.

“‘Mon tae fuck” they howled.

The house of cards begins to shudder.

Then Rangers ramp up the pressure by strengthening further with Defoe, Davis, Jones and Kamara on their way. Shit, this is serious.

And so the head of the supporters group (Mr “not enough Protestants on the Titanic“ himself) writes to the erstwhile allies at Hampden, effectively calling them cheats for following the rules. And, in what is clearly an orchestrated manoeuvre, the club follow it up with a demand for transparency. The club which has made an art form of secrecy and cover up now pushing for “transparency”. Utterly priceless.

Their world is collapsing in on them and they are in blind panic.

And of course, there hangs over them, THAT story. It hasn’t gone away and they may yet regret the stupidity of turning on the SFA who will hold the fate of that poisonous club in their hands.

It is the perfect storm and it has been a long time coming. Their lack of class and dignity is exposed for all to see and it is not pretty. The house of cards is hanging by a thread and an act of defiance or bravery by either the SFA or a serious journalist (Mark Daly?) will surely bring the whole rancid slum crashing to the ground.

I am thoroughly enjoying the show so far and would encourage all Bears to pull up a chair with, dare I suggest, a bowl of jelly and ice cream?

Never been a fan of jelly but I can heartily recommend Haagen Dazs Pralines and Cream flavour ice cream to all the faithful out there.

 

However it's good to watch the taigs implode, turning on their friends at hampden and playing the vicTIM card yet again while all the time trying to make sure that a certain scandal doesn't blow upmin their faces and see them reduced to, what is the lowest level of Scottish Football?

Terrific post. Yep, the tide is definitely turning. Wonder what else  Dave King might have known when he said back in May that cellic will fold ‘like a pack of cards’ if Gers win just one title

The cards tumbled and all that’s left standing is a couple of Jokers 

Good post OP - in some ways we needed this winter break in others it’s a pity they have a chance to regroup.  Feels a bit like that the bell has went as their legs start to wobble.

Really enjoyed that , terrific post CT . 

The main players in msm are either ex c....c players or supporters , whose arrogance , and blindness to any failings of their team , have misled their hordes believing a fantasy . Quite ironic that now we have a team to challenge them , this very same bullshit has significantly increased the pressure on them to deliver . A pressure that they don't seem to be handling very well at all .
