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.

In hindsight I may have been better sparing you all the imagery conjured by that graphic description!! However, I doubt you needed to use it as an excuse to drink :-)
I’m fine big fella, hope you are well.

I never understood why a renowned secret service agency never recruited me due to my undisputed talent at inadvertently pi**ing people off. Especially women ;-)
I was more than a tad concerned that I had inadvertently pi**ed you off. No sarcasm was intended. Although thanks is due to me for inducing a CQN break ;-) pub or Andy Murray ?
May the seeds of your loins be fruitful in the belly of your woman.

how does one go about lessening the “authority” of the MSM ?
Keevins, Traynor, Leckie etc
i am all for listening to every shade of opinion but some folk appear to think that their opinion has more weight (and should have) than others
this clearly becomes a problem in cases where that opinion is not focussed on the common good but rather in self-interest and is at the same time given more of a platform and widespread circulation
so, how does one go about lessening the “authority” of the MSM ?
or perhaps the question should be “how can we ensure that the MSM continually proclaim that which is good and fair for all?” – for surely in this case there would be no need to lessen it (just the opposite in fact)
The Sunday Mail was delivered by mistake this morning. I did’nt read it personally but Mrs Garngad to Croy tells me there is not a single Celtic story in it.
This is truly a great day !!!

John Brown will write a book in a few years ghost written by Keith Jackson entitled “The Day I Saved Rangers’ it will give him a nice wee retirement kitty and the plot evolves around three drunken conversations with Paul Gascoigne in Dubhai who is in an hotel bar playing pool.

Typical of Hugh Sleekit to talk in such admiring terms of Bummer Broon, a genuine weapons grade moron and plastic hard man, although I’ll say this for the ole Bummer, his “youse boat ra pies”speech will go down in the annals of oratory as a never to be forgotten moment in history.

I’m getting really excited about the new season now. So which is the best team:
Great Britain Rest of the World
Forster Zaluska
Matthews Lustig
Wilson Rogne
Mulgrew Wanyama
Blackman Izagguire
Brown Kayal
Ledley Ki
McCourt Twardzik
Forrest Stokes
Hooper Bangura
Commons Samaras
Either one would walk the SPL
How to deal with the msm : newsagents put their rags on the the top shelf or in the fiction section. Either/Or or both.
:-)
So what do we count as a derby match this season? As the only Glasgow team in the top flight I guess we don’t have one.
St Mirren or Motherwell would be the closest geographically.
Can’t manage the formatting on this
I meant to say, which Celtic team is best?:
GB Team
Forster
Matthews Wilson Mulgrew Blackman
Brown McCourt Ledley
Forrest Hooper Commons
Rest of the World Team
Zaluska
Lustig Rogne Wantyama Izagguire
Kayal Ki Twarzik
Bangura Stokes Samaras

Methinks you do protest too much,old bean.
Is your concern that being 40 is thought of as being past it,and that you may well be approaching that epoch-defining celebration,or that tempus fugit,and your past is longer than your future?
It’s my birthday shortly,btw,so it’s not a dig,just a question. It will be the last one I celebrate-the rest of them,I intend to draw the curtains,pull a duvet over my head,and pretend it never happened.
Di Stefano-thirtysix?

Good to see one of our own getting back on the right road. In this case Scott Harrison. In winning his first, official, fight for over six years, at Kelvin Hall, he has opened up the possibility, of fighting for the WBO lightweight title currently held by fellow Scot, and Celt Ricky Burns. Burns is fighting Kevin Mitchell in September, and Harrison, if all goes well, will be on the undercard. Frank Warren believes that Harrison could fight the winner. Well done Scott, keep up the good work!
“Well wear the red stockings,” said Jock Stein, sensing a little bit of gamesmanship from Leeds.
“Under their floodlights, they”ll show up more orange than red and our supporters will think that we’re wearing the colours of the Irish tricolour. That’ll please them.”

I’d pay good money to watch that game.
Now that the orcs have admitted to being a tray of pies, does that mean they’ll be subject to VAT if you heat them up?
GREEN LANTERN
I think they’re beyond the reheat stage,tbh.
Just as well,subjecting them to tax hasn’t worked too well so far………..
Keevins is a fud,if you told him you didn’t eat blueberry muffins,he would call you a “fundamentalist”.

I would sub Dylan for Paddy on your GB side and let Paddy play with fellow countryman Stokes in the ROTW select.
WATP must now mean We Are The Pies.
