SFSA BLUE PLAQUES LAUNCH FIND OUT MORE
Date: 28th August 2025
Look away, no conflict here…
A sketchy and humorous look at the outpourings of the great, the good and the not so good of Scottish fitba’ by Donald C Stewart.
Supporters in the east end of Glasgow were contemplating the message that seems to have come out from their hallowed turf that there is nothing to see here.
Having endured a stuttering beginning to their season, a number of Green Brigaders were suggesting that perhaps there was “Trouble at Mill”. The Mill, in question, for the avoidance of doubt, is Paradise. No other reference to “Troubles” anywhere else in the world, except where the heavily oppressed need a flag day was meant.
Making his message loud and clear, Mr Rodgers, 52 years old, of one fixed abode but constantly shifting, said that he was not in conflict with the board.
He declared that he only wants to think of the football.
Sources close to Paradise said that many of those in attendance asked at the weekend there and in various strange airports thereafter, that that was the last thing they wanted to think of at all. It was certainly, given the last few games, the last thing they want to see.
The news was further compounded when it was revealed that local Canadian Mr Alistair Johnston, the best export from Canada since anything else they’ve exported, is now off the table for at least three months due to pulling his hammy.
Hammy was unavailable for comment.
Supporters became increasingly concerned that Mr Rodgers, who in a previous relationship with Paradise walked away from the club midway through his third season, will repeat that feat. The disappearing act at the time saw him not go to China as some thought he was going to, but once that boat had sailed, he slowly managed to get himself down to the City that is Leicester.
Mr Rodgers was able to repeat some of the success he had had whilst in Glasgow, managing to win one cup. One cup in England is apparently the equivalent of three cups in Scotland. However, they do drink a lot of tea in England.
And so when quizzed about leaving before the end of his contract, Mr Rodgers made it clear that there was absolutely no chance. Of him leaving before then. At all. Ever.
Various media outlets then did not report Premier League clubs asking “representatives” not to hunt Mr Rodgers down and offer him a job. Though the flurry of activity was unflurried.
There are many who think Mr Rodgers is the man who knows the art of the deal. This being a great bargaining tool which might allow a large Englishshire club to come in and take Mr Rodgers down.
Mr Rodgers, however, is clearly frustrated, that he has been unable to bolster the squad that he was hoping to increase upon for European matches under the lights, or indeed any other matches under any other lights that don’t include the street ones outside of Paradise, which would be very dangerous and not to be encouraged at home.
Mr Rogers talked widely about it.
He made clear that this was not his decision, not to bring people in. Just exactly whose decision it was not to bother bringing new people into the club beyond those they’ve already done is mired in mystery.
There have been several people pointing at a group of people with faces that are called The Board. The board have yet to specifically comment.
In the meantime, supporters are trudging back into Paradise to find the right subscription package to find out which European League they are now in given that they failed to get into the Champions League. Some are still trying to refresh their Setanta page…
It is widely expected that, at some point in the next few days that Mr Rodgers is likely to come out and repeat himself.
In a rare show of support, Govan have come out and demonstrated they are unlikely to bother the Paradise as The Big Hoose is in a state of its own crisis. Mr. Martin, previously of Englishshire himself, appears to be doing all in his power, to help.
Not for the first time, Mr Rodgers denied he had anything to do with Tom Hanks.
