Mark Hateley

So Mark Hateley has decided to have a pop at the Champions Elect in his column in todays Daily Rag.

Its sad to see that this once great player, lets not be bitter here but objective, has bitten into the bilious apple of the club that paid his wages. With money they clearly couldnt afford.

I just want to disect his opinion today.

"This year's title is yours and even though I believe it's tainted that's none of your concern." -


Actually Mr Hateley Celtic have came from an unprecedented 15pts behind to now go ahead by 10pts (Im not counting the 10pts from administration here). So you can probably understand why your comment on "tainted" makes you come across as a bitter, poisonous mouthpiece for your previous employer.

"Congratulate them and move on. I just wish they had the good grace to do likewise as my club attempts to battle for its very existence and good people are worried sick about their jobs."

Good people such as Daniel Cousin? Many people have found it disgusting that while people at "your" club are worried about their next mortgage payment, or money for school meals for their children are coming from, and by this I mean the cleaners, the caretakers, the groundskeepers and the unsung workers that all clubs have, that "your" club feel that they can still spend money they dont have and sign an ageing over the hill striker (sound familier Mark?). No, no mention at all that the wages for this player would cover many workers wages. Money "your" club doesnt have.

"I would hope Rangers, as a football club, would conduct themselves with a bit more class if the shoe was on the other foot. In fact, I'm sure they would."

They certainly showed their class last year Mark didnt they? Bullets in the post to players and manager, bombs sent to our manager, a vicious internet hate campaign and virtual 24 hr security. Yes, Rangers fans are a class apart.

"I would also hope Rangers and their fans can act with dignity and decorum as they fight to get through this, one of the most horrible periods in the club's 140-year history."

The same dignity they showed in Manchester? Or last week when the same sectarian singing reared its ugly head? Or perhaps the dignity of winning the Scottish League Cup last season when 20,000 fans of "your" club all joined in to sing the Famine Song?

"So let Celtic get on with celebrating their title - a title they somehow failed to win throughout the last three years of financial troubles - and let Rangers get on with the painful process of putting their club back together."

Yes, we didnt win it Mark, despite "your" club building a side on money you didnt have over the previous decade and more. A decade where we were living within our means, paying our taxes and ensuring that all the small business's and economies that relied on us to pay the ordinary man in the streets wage survived. The painful process of putting Rangers back together pales into insignificane when we all look at the financial cheating that they have done to get in their false position. The groundswell for them to be appropriately punished is not just coming from Celtic fans, at each and every game this season, supporters of all clubs are making their intentions known about how they feel regarding Rangers cheating and disregard for paying their debts.

But at least you have your dignity Mark. Although, I feel your pain, as we all do. Never mind, hopefully the HMRC will put an end to it soon.

Here is the full article for those interested.

Celtic are wrong to dance on Rangers' grave

By Mark Hateley on Feb 24, 12 08:29 AM in rangers

CONGRATULATIONS, Celtic. This year's title is yours and even though I believe it's tainted that's none of your concern.
It's not Celtic's fault Rangers have ended up in a mess of their own making.
So Neil Lennon and his players have every right to milk the moment from here on in until the medals are passed around in May.
The club's supporters are also entitled to enjoy the rest of the cakewalk.

I'd prefer just to leave them to it. Congratulate them and move on. I just wish they had the good grace to do likewise as my club attempts to battle for its very existence and good people are worried sick about their jobs.
I find the tone that has been set by the men at the top at Celtic Park in recent days and weeks has been ill-judged at best and, at worst, deliberately inflammatory.
Let's be honest here, Rangers are lying in the gutter, bleeding badly. There is no need for the likes of Lennon and Peter Lawwell to continue to sink the boot in when our wounds
have been self-inflicted.
I would hope Rangers, as a football club, would conduct themselves with a bit more class if the shoe was on the other foot. In fact, I'm sure they would.
Calling for Rangers to be stripped of titles? Political manipulating and manoeuvring in order to make sure no mercy is shown should their rivals get back on their feet?
All this crass stuff about celebrating the death of Rangers with bowls of jelly and ice cream? Is that really necessary? It smacks of the behaviour of people who hate Rangers more than they love their own club. It reflects very badly on them all.
No one expects Celtic to shed a tear over the state Rangers have got themselves into.
But, even so, there is a venom about their recent reaction which has shocked me and should embarrass the more level-headed, decent people at Parkhead. I hope it does at any rate.
It saddens me that these extreme times seem to bring out the worst in supporters on both sides of Glasgow.
I include Rangers supporters in that because last week, when they were all hurting so badly, some of them chose to bring further shame on Ibrox by singing the kind of songs that have been making us cringe for so long. Thanks for that lads. Just what the club needed in a time of crisis.
As much as I would prefer for Celtic to concentrate on enjoying their success, I would also hope Rangers and their fans can act with dignity and decorum as they fight to get through this, one of the most horrible periods in the club's 140-year history.
These are the qualities the club was built on and these same qualities have never been more important than they are right now.
In fact, I'd go as far as to say how the Rangers support acts at this crucial juncture may decide the very fate of their club.
It's time for them to think smart. Singing stupid songs of defiance is hardly what's needed now. They have to take a step back from all that nonsense and attempt to get a clear view of the bigger picture.
It's not about mindless bravado, it's about making the right choices and ensuring the club they love is around another 140 years from now.
There is no shame in being duped. Let's be honest, it happens to us all.
But what's the old saying? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
They should have those words engraved on the front doors of Ibrox as a permanent reminder and a warning to the next man who gets his hands on the keys.
Yes, the Rangers support is just about to realise how powerful it really is now it is galvanised again and pulling in the same direction.
These fans are about to become the king makers and that's why they should behave in a manner befitting the club they represent.
The next man who steps up to the plate will expect them to scrutinise his every move like never before. The fans will demand that, from now on, the people at the top are open and transparent. They deserve nothing less.
What the future holds is still unclear. In the short term, we can only hope the administrators find what they are looking for to keep the business going and then had it over to a safe pair of hands.
Hopefully the time will come soon when the fans are being asked to throw their united support behind a new regime.
In an ideal world a group of well meaning, wealthy and reputable Rangers supporters will step forward to claim control as a consortium to make sure that, never again, the club is left in the hands of just one man.
If all these interested parties can find a way to club together for the greater good and drag Rangers away from the brink I'm positive the rank and file won't be slow in identifying them as the men who saved them from their darkest hour.
It's time for Rangers men to stand up and be counted. It's time for the club to rid itself of all the old unwanted baggage so that Rangers can be proud of itself again for the fantastic football club it always has been.
So let Celtic get on with celebrating their title - a title they somehow failed to win throughout the last three years of financial troubles - and let Rangers get on with the painful process of putting their club back together.

Jelly and Ice Cream as Hately Cries

 

Bitter hunt is bitter.

 

Never mind the songs of hatred, it's all about the venomous jelly & ice cream.

 

Lennon has been nothing but honest and hardly stuck the boot in.

Does he expect loads of sympathy from a man who received bombs and bullets from rangers supporting scum ?

How does Hately think rangers fans would have acted had it been the other way around ?

 

away ye go hatley your a * *

 

bitter much?, he is clearly looking to rouse something up it's typical, it's a shame no one will come out and remind Hately how his team were acting in years gone past along with the media and even just last season aswell and * his clubs fans put him through.

 

Mark must be eating lemon flavoured ice-cream. Bitter Hun *.

He's changed his tune since November when he had the league over and was saying Celtic were a poor team. But he was'nt putting the boot in or anything. He's never do that *! Hope he enjoys the continuing misery his mob will go through in coming months and try and be honest with himself that they'd be doing the same(although with a lack of wit & humour) if it was happening to Celtic.

 

Bitter much Hately? He is a massive hypocrite, he says he expects Celtic fans to put the boot in but then doesn't like it when they do? What does he expect the *.
