Gilmour bitterness towards Lawwell evident

645

If you were in any doubt about what we’re up against when it comes to developing Scottish football, former St Mirren chairman, Stewart Gilmour’s incoherent rant in one of today’s newspapers, that Peter Lawwell is running Scottish football, paints a clear picture for you.

Peter Lawwell’s club, your club, PAYS for Scottish football. Fans of this club pour millions into the bank accounts of others from Dingwall to Kilmarnock. Those same clubs earn TV money and trackside advertising to viewers who tune in to see that very same club play football.

Each SPFL and SFA member club has only one vote, and Peter Lawwell is out-voted and frustrated on many issues. What he brings to the table is experience of the game, business, commercial contracts, risk and strategy that no one else in our game has ever enjoyed.

He will be the person who brings evidence-based insight into the value of our game’s commercial properties. This is not because Peter Lawwell is some unassailable guru, he simply has experience of running a business which is greater in depth and scope than anyone else in the history of Scottish football. The fair-minded acknowledge this and are thankful for it.

If your skillset is more suited to a bowling club committee than a business turning over tens of millions of pounds, and you have an unfortunate attitude towards Celtic representatives, all this might rub you up the wrong way.

You may think the last person you want illuminating Scottish football is some educated ******. Believe me, these attitudes persist in our game.

Gilmour, you will remember, was in charge of St Mirren when Charles Green (then the darling of Ibrox), was invited to New St Mirren Park for a Celtic game. They all wanted a piece of Peter then, but there was no courtesy offered from the Celtic contingent on the day.

This is a call to arms by those who want to encourage clubs to obstruct Celtic in every way possible. Peter Lawwell is their bogeyman. They are still sore that they didn’t turnover Celtic (and the rest of Scottish football) in 2012, and they blame Peter for not getting what they wanted.

Now there is a fresh reality to worry about: Celtic making their own way in the world, with the consent of Scottish football. Others will find their place in the game, while one club would wither on the vine without Celtic to feed off.

    I think you have mistook “adolescent fixation with sexually explicit metaphors. ” to green hun fascination with having catholic colons stretched by rather large diseased presbyeterain members as is ones want in insisting in having “thems” around. Sorta like Lawwell although he doesnt have to indulge in such low life being rich and all? :)

     

    would you agree?

    I think that threatening a fellow CQN’r by being custard flanned to death by the Green Flan man of cork is worthy of a yellow and you should turn yourself in to paul67 to be reprimanded right now!. What a heathen! Flanned nay custard flanned I have never been so insulted in all my life….where are the moderators when you need them? …ahh night school…figures… English comprehension no doubt. :)

     

     

    Trust me Im all for hasidic jews coming out of their shell. I’d love to see some hasidic banjo playing. In cork.

  4. 1 thing is for sure. Things are Bad, well unless you are Celtic.

     

     

    Celtic disnae put food on the Table.

     

     

    I’m amazed @ the Celts.

     

     

    That olde Gematria thing has traction IMO.

     

     

    I have NO IDEA if Trump will be a Good Guy or a bad guy. The LORD Almighty has him in this position Right Here and PRECISELY, Right Now.

     

     

    I hate telling things now but I have to.

     

     

    I have a mobile Number, never changed it, that has 888 in it together. Bobby and a few others can Confirm that.

     

     

    My Mum & Dads abode has 888 in it, I stay with my Mum and Dad – they are THEE Greatest Ever. Kitalba can Confirm that.

    Yeshuah Died to take away EVERY SIN. Push that Please.

     

     

    Mike Pence is going to Swear on The Word (GOD) using 2 Chronicles 7:14…….

     

     

    if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

     

     

    There is so much happening now for ANY of CELTIC or any Supporters to be bickering about.

    A Hard Rains Gonna Fall….

     

     

     

    Will it be this one?

     

     

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vJMTKtY4U8&sns=em

     

     

     

    Let’s wait and see…

     

     

    …………………………………………………………………..

     

     

    The Global UK turned me off BIG TIME. All Politicians are………

     

     

    Is it true that Nicola Sturgeon is Govanhill Orientated? My Son spends time there Regularly @ his Grandas. That Nicola has done NOTHING for that place….

     

     

    Flats with settees outside in the small gardens.

     

     

     

    Aye.

  9. If she is Representing Scotland, she is Urinating all over her own Constituency.

     

     

    I thought GB was a Protectionist guy, NWO stooge?

     

     

    Proctenionism was his jibber jabber @ the CBI forum and so many other places.

     

     

    The Hegelian Dialect is in full effect.

     

     

    Christ – He is the Antidote.

  10. Gordon Brown at least secured so many Jobs in Scotland for so many Tims and Rangers fans and others as well.

     

     

    I disagreed with his Protectionism patter back then when he DELIVERED it to the CBI.

  11. I took on board the GREAT JJ’s defence of takin Dr Ugs.

     

    It brought people together – especially in such a divided CITY, perhaps I just went too much over the score,

     

     

    If Nightmares happen – I mean Sinister ones, just Call on Jesus Christ and say ye BELIEVE He Died to take away everyones Sin. The entity goes like nothing on earth. The PEACE after that. Wow.

  12. Treble for the Celtic.

     

     

    Defo.

     

     

    Forgive for feck sake.

     

     

    stop people frothing @ the mouth.

     

     

    Thank the Lord Almighty for CELTIC to be in such a Healthy position.

     

     

    The angry ones are not all angry and bad.

  13. I cannae wait until Rhoobarb starts reappearing in the FIXED Supemarkets.

     

     

    I got 2 packs last Sunday in EK. Every other Store. ZILCH…. when on a certain diet. ROOB is like the Biggest treat EVER, stewed with a small amount of Sugar.

    Kojo got hated here, I don’t understand why really…..The Aphex Twin was pumping out Dance tracks for Fun, Who knows REALLY all the jibber jabber.

     

     

    Some people are just Blessed with a lot more Talent than others.

     

     

    My young Bro ran 5K runs every day last year… What an achievement that was. It didn’t impress me at all because I can’t understand his thinking.

     

     

    I said he should get back to Scotland if a Good opportunity arises.

    Different tempo obviously.

     

     

    What a CHALLENGE he will have @ Kilmarnock. I think he has a Great Chance of being a Celtic player.

    I heard that overnight on the radio. Details were very sketchy,reports of shots being heard,etc.

     

     

    Sounds horrendous. As these things do.

     

     

    I hope the injured recover quickly,that the dead R I P,and that the assailant-if a deliberate act-is skewered eternally in hell.
