After they hatched their plan to blackmail Scottish Football League clubs into voting Newco into the First Division, Stewart Regan, Neil Doncaster and David Longmuir might have paused to wonder what reaction they would receive.
You better believe they didn’t anticipate the reaction today from Clyde and Raith Rovers. Rovers chairman, Turnbull Hutton, told BBC Scotland’s Jim Spence, “If we are at the stage of bending rules and accommodating, threatening and blackmailing, we want to give it up.”
“Bending rules… threatening… blackmailing…we want to give it up”.
Hutton went on to suggest heads should roll at the SFL, SFA and SPL. He’s the first from within the football establishment to call for sackings but he’ll not be the last.
An extensive statement by Clyde FC concluded, “The papers include a proposal to allow a Newco to enter the 1st Division. This is contrary to the rules of the SFL and nothing within the papers justifies this proposal.”
Regan, Doncaster and Longmuir will now be contemplating that their bully-boy tactics will fail. SLF clubs will vote against their recommendations and SPL clubs will not stop promotion from the lower leagues based on merit. It looks like abject failure of leadership.

Hope Emus behaved himself.
He is a great guy and Mrs Emus is an absolute diamond.
Loved to have been with you
bet the craic was good.
How many players have left Celtic so far this close season?
Mark Wilson
Cha
O’Dea
Big Dan
McGinn
Any more?
Doc..,
I did follow the whole conversation and I found his submissions very similar to the failed msm offerings, I must admit I begun to twitch when he put the teams in the traditional msm order, rangers and Celtic, I let it go, which wasnt easy if you know me :o)
But the insistence that the teams failure w purely down to not being good enough was too far IMO hence a single example of how Cetic had absolutely no say in the destination of the titles they won. All three seasons were littered with similiar decisions he refused to countenance.
sftb-I put up the squad stats mate,i think the 48 inc youth players who are full time.I think we all agree that we need quality rather than quantity but need to chase a few and keep numbers to compete in the 4 competitions.HH.

So will you stop watching Sky?
What will it take for you to buy a ticket?
Who questioned if Celtic was your team?
The clique is unaware of any such apology.
How would Neil Lennon know if you supported him, could he hear you?
You are 100% correct with the assertion I don’t have any principals, I’ve not since school.

canamalar- So did you stop going when CR Smith started the joint sponsorship?
Everytime you say to yourself they can’t be anymore news left in this saga and then boom more to follow.

I didn’t agree with all of Stephbhoys point, but I didn’t find them anti Celtic. Some I agreed with, some not. Just opinions.
Stephbhoy wasn’t personal nor offensive, so I would happily converse in the future.

I knew if I stayed up any later your stock would be under review tonight too!
Over 3 hours drive from yours to here in the SEAT Sewing machine. Drove to Nerja to Lidl and relieved them of a few Hachon red label 2007. Burst tyre just before home on a rock on way back with supplies. The sewing machine is now a 3 wheeler. Can it go any slower?

Hows about coming to visit The Exiled Bankie?
Free Doire,free accommodation,free home swally and the chance to come and see a good few interesting characters..
Oh and by the way the offer is open to all.

In addition to the 34 first team names names on the official site, we list 22 u-19s including 4 duplicate names (the Twardziks, McGeoch & Watt) common to both lists.
That gives us 52 names by my reckoning, though I suggest Rasmussen, Murphy and Thompson may soon depart and bring us under the 50 mark.
I do not know if any of those 50 or so names are not full time though I doubt it. It would be interesting to have factual comparisons of how many are employed by other clubs such as Man U, WBA, Hearts, or Middlesborough to give us a bench mark on this.
Kevtic- You missed Juarez out of your list
How long will it take UEFA/FIFA to get involved in this shambles.
Meanwhile on Edmishun Drive

bada….,
I stopped after we mad all that noise about objecting to being lumped in as old firm supporters, it wasnt that long ago, thought maybe some might remember,obviously not,just to remind you, there was a growing grounswell objecting to the board renewing the association, round about the time of threatened bhoycott and the meetings being held to bring the support together, for me it was objectionable I’d had enough.
At the time there were plenty of objectors and discussion on how it could be replaced, the objectiona were not taken seriously and thats that, I made my decision, I could not support a board who were happy to call me an old firm fan end of for me.

Thanks again for your company.
Oh, and the young fella will be here tomorrow, has taken a week off work to come over for the final tonight,he has booked a flight from B/ham, got on a train in Aberdeen, flight leaves at 6, here at 9, Mrs is going to Malaga to pick him up, so a long lie is on the cards….. young, daft, with a few bob in the pocket, hopefully he is not dissapointed.
Next time rent a decent motor, Beemers are good :>)))))))
O.G.
Ur a terrible tease, but i like ya.
This story is stunning. There are at least three threads to it; each of which is a once-in-a-century headline in its own right.
The crimes of the past; the extraordinary efforts of governing authorities to absolve; and the question of what the present incumbents intentions – and chances – are.
These are surreal times

I just new that ‘principals’ would come back on you like a cheap lager………. :-p
