Abject failure of leadership

1038

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.

  1. Anyhoos, I’ve got the burd demanding words of love from me now…..she is proof that 2nd division Fife teams can compete with the best.

     

     

    I keep reminding her of this, and am just about to do so again.

     

     

    If only I could share my good looks with her to help her compete in the SPL of handsomeness…..I feel some rule changes in the horizon.

    Ha!

     

     

    Ah love you explaining mags to me!

     

     

    Aye, she’s sharp.

     

     

    Sharper than me with a drink in me.

     

     

    So I’ll talk to you guys.

    She is insulting.

     

     

    But she is sharp too.

     

     

    So on a quiet nightshift…

     

     

    I’ll take the odd insult.

    2010 Never Again

     

     

    My friends in Celtic

     

     

    We are a broad church and a passionate and at times fiery people. We are all a part of a culture that is truly blessed.

     

     

    We come from near and far and from many walks of life.

     

     

    We have many different and varied thoughts and perspectives on how things are….and indeed how things should be.

     

     

    In times of conflict or need and in support of our team we will come together as only we can…..because what we share deep down is a love of our Club and a fundamental belief in decency and what is right.

     

     

    In saying all of the above can I respectfully and humbly ask all the good Celtic men that are not at peace with each other at present to search their consciences and ask themselves this…..are good Celtic men going to let their egos and their differing views over-ride their respect for their fellow Celt and what bonds us as a culture and a support.

     

     

    What if we think along these lines…. “I may not always agree with your opinion but I respect your right to it” …..with the codicil as long as it is done in a genuine and respectful manner. (this obviously doesn’t apply to any engagements with those of a hun persuasion….:-)

     

     

    Worth a thought?

  6. :)))) Aye, in an ideal world.

     

     

    Meantime, I DEMAND closure….

     

     

    Sh@t, sound like a hun from November there.

     

     

    “We, the feeble peeple, DEMAND, CLOSURE”. Aye ok. BYE !!!

     

     

    Heh heh, Stupid Huns.

     

     

    Oh, this really is a classic year. The frog is still simmering. Won;t be boiled til after marching season :))))

     

     

    The Unseen Fenian Hand is genuinely smarter than owt else :))))

    There’s only one foe. I try to keep my eye on the prize <:-))

  10. Right, am happy.

     

     

    David Gilmour live in Gdanks for the Solidarity Concert.

     

     

    Burd 100 miles away but still stalking me with the occasional text – tolerable.

     

     

    Cold Magners.

     

     

    Noooiiceee…….

     

     

    Will nurse my anger for the return of Big Mags though……..

    Clumsy, and perhaps set in her ways.

     

     

    But quick as a flash in response to a comment.

     

     

    And quick with a wee rhyme.

    No need my friend. It is a labour of love

  16. Long live the UFH :)))

     

     

    The huns HATE it……jeez, even we don’t know what it’s doin !!

     

    Must be powerful then :)))

     

     

    Rascar,

     

     

    Fair play. I’ll save my opinion for when the bollocks returns. :)

  17. Who/ What is the UFH?

     

     

    I think it’s Pink Floyd.

     

     

    They have a lot of cash to throw away on killing off a bigot fest of a club, and have proven to be politically motivated in that way.

     

     

    If not PF, then my next most likely choice would be the Ghosts of John Lennon and Martin Luther King.

    WHO is the UFH ???

     

     

    david blane’s hands can be tricky too

    Look in the mirror my friend. If you like what you see then nothing else matters.

     

     

    I don’t doubt your love for Celtic.

     

     

    For what it’s worth I think there’s a massive and highly orchestrated game being played by certain Celtic friendly people some of whom are residents of this forum.

     

     

    Take a step back my friend……and observe what’s going on…..there’s a plan at play and I think some of the ones you’re giving it to tight are all over it.

     

     

    Give them the benefit of the doubt until this has played itself out which is going to take quite a while yet.

     

     

    I think you might get a surprise.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  20. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    anyroadup,

     

    time for bawbaws

     

    night night n

     

    hail hail

  21. :)))

     

     

    FFS, tis NOT David Blanes’ hands.

     

     

    Come on.

     

     

    Only the huns know the true answer to this.

     

     

    Must be the Prince Philip.

     

     

    All the clues are there. He’s not an indigenous Brit, and has been faking true British superiority for years to cover up his main goal of subversion of British Supremacy. He’s a Greek. And the Greeks have just shafted Superior Britain of pure hunners of billions,

     

     

    And he hates the Queen. Aye, Prince Phillip is the UFH.

  22. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    Imatim..,

     

    I agree, but I think its worhwhile keeping the pressure on.

     

    to be honest, I dont think I’ve been giving anyone it tight,

     

    I have simply been responding like for like.

     

    I dont accept condescending dismissal.

    Most unlikely, innocent clubs would go to CAS and win because they are innocent..

    thats like the defence the hundead used, its no the clubs fault some directors were out of control.

    An ochestra needs a conductor normally, but I think this ochestra is playing it by ear.
