I may have told you this before, apologies if I’m repeating myself. Around 20 years ago, in a TV studio minutes after a Rangers victory, a former captain, Terry Butcher (what ever happened to him?), told the audience, “David Murray will not stop until he’s won two European Cups and 10 in a row.”
Use of the personal term “he”, not the club name, struck me. Murray was personally invested in this matter. Such a burning desire did not make David Murray a bad person, he owned the dominant club in Glasgow, but the team he was dominating had all that glorious history. If the boot was on the other foot, you’d want the same. I would.
Perhaps if Jock Stein had stayed at Hibs, Celtic would have stayed in mediocrity, David Murray would have had a more affordable dream and the liquidation of his club would not have been necessary.
You know it’s true…….
On Tuesday’s STV report that Hearts manager, John McGlynn, said:
“How many fans would think they could win the league if Celtic weren’t in it at this stage? All [clubs’] fans would.
“That would cause great excitement and I think it would bring fans back to the game, at the lower clubs.
“If you look at the rest of us outside Rangers and Celtic, we’d all fill our stadiums if we thought we’d realistically have a chance of winning the league.”
There are screeds written and spoken about our game but the McGlynn Plan is the most productive comment I’ve read all year. Well done to STV for the report, hopefully they will put the same questions to others in the league. This is the most important question for Scottish football right now.
It’s time for these clubs to throw off their downtrodden ways and genuinely compete for the Scottish title.
Still looking for a ticket for Celtic v Barcelona? Equally keen to acquire a Wee Oscar wristband? A CQN’er has very generously offered his ticket for next week to raise funds for the Wee Oscar Campaign. You can bid for the ticket/wristband package on ebay.
Tell everyone who asks you for a ticket to bid on the auction.

OldTim, should only cost you a few measlies for travel insurance. Google it, as Thomas Cook will want more from you. Make sure you take out a policy that covers you for meeting Smashingmilkbottles as your wallet will be empty in the morning.

Where has this optimism come from ?
Mr. UEFA called Mr. SNP and Mr. HMRC and said
‘What do you guys think of a ten year ban from International and European football for Scotland ?’

feck you don’t have a middle name Joseph do you?
Awe_Naw…,
just thikning about all the teams who will be looking for compensation from the sfa and uefa. Thinking happy thoughts :o)
However, if such an agreement has been reached then the political non interference rules lie in tatters and they will have opened another can of worms a precident they know will be abused, imagine the Spanish response if they got wind of such an accommodation :o)

Rabbit fluke eggs fall to the ground with rabbit droppings, their eaten by snails, they make the snail secrete “slime balls” that are irresistable to a certain species of ant, the ants eat the slimeballs that contain the eggs, the eggs turn into larvae, some of which make their way to the ants brain and screw with its behaviour, instead of going home with the rest of the colony at night, the brainwashed ant clamps its jaws onto a blade of grass and hangs there, during the night rabbits eat the grass and accidently swallow the ant.

I phoned The Boy Jinky last night to wish him bon voyage on his upcoming holiday.He was in Liverpool at a concert,had a chat for about 20mins and in that time I told him I felt unwell after eating fish in the Gandolfo Restaurant,then felt unwell coming home the next day,what did he say to you,that “I was dying”,I just felt unwell.
Remember and give me a call tomorrow re travel insurance,I think you will also have to send me The Exiled Tims e-mail address too.
Awe Naw, glad a wizny smokin tonight after reading that!!

What will happen to Duffers and Plebs, having told LH that they were not aware of the FTT decision, and it comes to light, as many on this site have indicated, that they were given that decision last Friday?

I have now found your mobile number.
Mes Culpa,
I doubt very much LH didnt know the decision has been served, he threatened to jail anyone who tweeted from the hearing, a public hearing.

Rangers got liquidated yesterday. Any team thats unhappy about it is in the same state as the creditors. i.e GTF
So that problem is wishful thinking on your part.
There will be no political interference as far as UEFA is concerned having concentrated minds with the question I posted previously.
FFP has already been established. If you go bust your demoted to the bottom tier.
The stripping of Rangers titles is beads to the indians and a further opportunity for Sevco to moan about it and further legitimise it more.
The SPL cannot impose fines on Sevco only the SFA the SFL or UEFA.
I expect all three to reach the agreement that poor Sevco have been punished enough and are cleansed.
Paul67 alluded yesterday what BDO will do. They will ignore it.
HH
To our American fraternity:
Given that Duffers and Plebs are now probably regretting the day they even heard of RFCIL / Sevco, and the fact that the MSM in Scotland, even to this day, are still towing the party line, is there any way to increase the exposure to this massive scandal in the mainstream US media?

Awe Naw
Your last post will be spot on I reckon.
Awe_Naw..,
they will have to include every other thean cheated by the rotten mob in europe in that agreement, the sfa are responsible for the teams they admit to europe therefore culpable, no
Exiled Tim,old Tim n BTim.
Do yous do stand up.hh
Oldtim – the good old Post Office should be your 1st stop when looking for travel insurance – under a tenner up to 64. Don’t know your age but will probably climb a wee bit if older and have med conditions.
BT – hopefully you are not having your Horlicks yet and have had an outstanding birthday!
Lisbon trip would be awesome – post some photies when you get back. Havin said that if Estadio is there they will be live and as it happens.
HH to all!

Celtic and its shareholders will also.
I fully expect that to be the end of it.
No CAS …. Absolute acceptance.
I wonder if a fan group would have the determination to see it through in a court. I still think they will get the same answer. The company that was responsible went bust. Hard lines.

You cant talk about smashinmilkbottles. The last time you opened your wallet a moth flew out.

I’m 73 and with a few medical conditions.
I tried to get Medical insurance about six years ago,and was quoted a three figure amount.
I don’t normally travel with travel insurance, but Thomas Cook specify I must have it.
Have to agree I’ve been saying to other fans for ages the SPL would be a great league without Celtic.
But where would we go?
Awe_Naw
Totally agree.
The football powers will close ranks, that is a given.
Though, a group of shareholders could take it on re suing the sfa.
A long shot, but it’s something, and better than letting them away with the crime of the century
Awe_Naw..,
the company that is responsible is the sfa their incompetence or collusion wont be hard to prove
oldtim – 3 figures????? Bejeezus!
I’ll check with my sister who lectures in tourism and will post her recommendation tomorrow night. She knows all the dodges.

Where are they staying,I spoke to Matte at the game on Saturday and he said they were staying in the Algarve and driving down on the day of the game?.They may have changed their mind and arriving in Lisbon early.
