WadeWilson 4,670 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Was just reading the Daily Record online.Seems Strachan has given an interview rubbishing all of the Tims' paranoia. And judging by the Selik fans comments below the story, they are spewing bile... First comment simply says: "Judas!" Hahahah.Well said Gordon. I never really could bring myself to truly hate him as one of my first memories in football was his legover celebration at Mexico 86. He has also said that the game here in Scotland has turned poisonous (I think we know who is the cause). Correct on both counts I would have to agree.

JamieD 19,997 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Always had a lot of time for Strachan before he took the Celtic job and still do afterwards. He makes me laugh and he talks a fair amount of sense. I'll just consider his time at the dark side a blip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxwellrfc 6 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Ex-Hoops boss Strachan denies conspiracy claimsGORDON Strachan has dismissed claims of a grand conspiracy against Celtic.The man who led the Parkhead club to three successive SPL crowns has broken his silence on the rift between his former employers and the SFA in a revealing series of interviews with Record Sport.Today, in day one of a fascinating three-part insight into the mind of the ex-Celtic boss, Strachan dismisses the idea the game in this country has been deliberately geared up to keep his old club down.He accepts there are people in Scotland hellbent on fanning the flames of suspicion and blames them for creating an "unhealthy" and "dangerous" environment by continually questioning the integrity of referees.And Strachan - who quit his post in May 2009 after a trophy-laden four seasons at Parkhead - admits the ugly furore which has been kicked up over the course of this campaign has reminded him of precisely why he had to get out of Glasgow in the first place.He said: "I'm sorry, I could not agree with the suggestions of institutional bias against Celtic. It did not exist when I was the manager."I may have felt there was one referee who didn't like me very much but that was more about a clash of personalities rather than something sinister."And I actually found it funny when the Celtic fans chanted 'That's why we are paranoid'. That was a good laugh."But when I was manager I don't think there was anything untoward going on."Celtic have won millions of trophies and they will keep on doing it."Strachan admits to being surprised at the extent of the divide that has now opened up between Celtic and the SFA.The relationship began to deteriorate shortly after he was replaced by Tony Mowbray and it reached breaking point after the infamous Dougie-gate scandal at Tannadice in October last year .Strachan said: "It surprised me to see how quickly things deteriorated between the club and the referees since I was there."It seemed to become a huge issue overnight."I only saw it from afar. I wasn't in the thick of it. But I do know this, that atmosphere of suspicion and of pandering to the lowest common denominator is very unhealthy for the game."The climate we live in up there can be a horrible one and accusations tend to fly around all over the place, whether it's bigotry, racism or sexism."It can all be used as a weapon against people as we have seen recently with Richard Keys and Andy Gray."In Scotland you really need to watch all that stuff."If I could advise people there I would say, 'Let's just put it all to bed now before things get out of hand. Just get on with the footbal l and accept that , whoever wins the league, there will be decisions which go for and against them over the course of the season.'"It's unfair to question the integrity of the men who have to make decisions and I can say that because I have met them."They are a decent bunch of lads and I got on with them well."

simplythebest 11,453 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Anyone who "has time for" or "always liked" anything that has been/is remotely connected to the filth needs their head examined.I have the utmost respect and admiration for Kenny Dalglish and I have no shame in admitting it, other examples I could name too.I reserve my hatred for people who have earned it such as Lennon, and there's no doubt people with strong Celtic connections that I respect/like or whatever are in a minority, but this attitude of hating all things that have ever been connected to Celtic is incredibly small minded. By that way you'd never be friends with a Celtic fan either, considering that's a pretty strong connection. But of course Mark, it is the reason you dished out disgraceful abuse on here to our top goalscorer this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
