Did Dave King honestly say there would be a “forensic investigation” before newco, under his control, would repay Mike Ashley’s £10m loan? This, before the second tranche of the loan, which the club will need to meet payroll, is paid, and while Ashley could acquire an array of property and IP assets by simply not transferring the money when expected.
Unnecessarily provoking the source of short-term finance your club is dependent on is a bizarre tactic.
If it is indeed “the end” for the current newco board, as King promises, said board have a matter of weeks to secure whatever assets they can for those who have previously invested in the club and provided loans.
The crux of King’s comments are reported as:
“Would we pay [Ashley] immediately, I don’t think so no. We would complete a forensic investigation.
“If David Somers’ indication is correct that there has been some malfeasance then it is possible that the club would have a claim then I would attach the money and make a claim.
“If any individuals behaved improperly then it is important that they are held accountable.”
There’s a scene in Pulp Fiction when an unfortunate predator, “Z”, is informed that some African Americans are about to “Get medieval on his ass”. We don’t get to see what this means but stay tuned, between now and the EGM, Mike Ashley might just provide a demonstration of what Tarantino had in mind.
Remember, Ashley is not at Ibrox because he fancies being the next David Murray. He is not interested in the godforsaken world of having to run a football club in Glasgow, he’s happy to allow others to carry this burden.
He may well allow King to ‘win’ the EGM, but the spoils of victory will be very much on his terms. Trying hard not to imagine Paul Murray in a leather mask now.
Today is World Cancer Day. This disease has taken too many from the blog already, not to mention millions across the globe. There is a lot of good news, though. Progress is being made, but many in the developing world need access to simple preventative treatments, methodologies and information.
The preventative message still needs to get through to a great many in the developing world, before it’s too late. Here’s a video outlining where the battle is at the moment:

Monkey see Monkey sue
I do not agree to disagree, you were and are completely in the wrong, you portrayed it as a deliberate assault and that is what you defended.
Cults..,
You failed.
RighT
Insults, taunts and contempt are all meant to offend. I am allowed to be offended but I believe I have the right to offend. Knickers to Rangers fans and people who like ELP
Many football fans like to be offended and anything can cause offence and any gesture or banner or chant by opposing fans or players is scrutinised for deeper meaning. Increasingly in football as in life people want to be offemded and want eveeything they do not like banned.
The Celtic fans taunted and offended Rangers fans on Sunday but their worst crime was that they ridiculed them and they were unable to take that. All this crap about Monkeys is just that. Crap and nowhere on the planet except in football snd in the minds of IS afficionafoes would such an obvious display of joky contempt cause such angst

I’d pretty much agree with that. I don’t have any illusions re some of the muppets in our own support it just grates on me how many of our own seem quicker to berate Tims than
Pathetic jibes don’t excuse your poison.
……highlight those who abuse us.
Aye it’s a costly business this away game malarkey :-)
I like monkeys…but…I don’t like them huns.
Ah wull not be satisfied…
Until, Ah see the Back of Commons.. as he leaves thru the Big Green Door.
He is Not Ma Cuppa.. that’s fur sure..
Tae Try tae gie Ma Readers an idea of Where Ah am coming fae..oan this..
Ah wull offer this Explanation..
“Scoring a Goal.. is alwiz Impressive.”
An.. Aye.. Commons ,certainly diz That..
He is always a Threat tae Score..
Howevahhhhhhhhh…
This Ability ,which Commons Possesses..is No Necessarily a Free Pass tae a First Team Spot..
If His Ither Fitba abilities.. are.. Not up tae Much.. n..His Lack of Talent in itherAreas.. of his Make Up.. actually…. Make him a Liability.
He is a Goal Scorer… Period.
Ah gie ye.. Young McCormack..as Further/Farther , Example of where Ah am Going in this.
Ah hiv Never Liked or Bin Much Impressed by Young McCormack..
Going way, way, back.. Even when he was a Member of our Youth Team..
Again.. Like Ah have said..
“Scoring a Goal ,is Alwiz ..Impressive”
n Young McGregor.. certainly did That..
During his Initial run …on his Return from England..
McGregor, proceeded tae Impress.. Mightily..
He scored the Goals..an.. the Celtic Faithful.. wur… Duly..well… Impressed.
Howevahhhhhh.. His Goal Scoring..has Dried up..so the Faithful ur noo..
Not so.. Well.. Impressed fur the Laddie..
Because..Like Commons, Whose Goal Scoring Mojo..is Not quite Working ,with the Same Regularity, which it did.. in Past Seasons..
n.. his Ither Fitbaing Qualities.. Ur.. Not Up tae Snuff..
Again.. when he disnae score..
Mc Gregor.. becomes.. a Liability.
Yes.. Commons, goal Scoring ability is Not functioning as well as it did..
N..
Well.the Celtic Faithful.. are getting a wee bit ..well.. Unimpressed by Mr. Commons..
Meanwhile.. a further Example of Whit Ah am Trying tae Explain tae Ma Readers..
aboot this…
Guidetti, certainly.. looked like a Gold Plated Rolls Royce.. when he first Trod the Parkheid Turf..
He scored,, the Goals..n..Jist like magic..
the Celtic Faithful..wur… Won over.. Quickly n Emphatically..
Guiddeti.. could dae No Wrang… He wiz oor Next Golden boy.
Howevahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,,
Guidetti, has Not scored a goal…. fur weeks.. now..n..
Well.. The Faithfull.. ur getting plain Restless.. Mebbe,he is No whit we Thought he wiz..??
Is That Possible?
Look, Guys.. A Guy who scores the Goals ..always Maks an Impression..
But..If that Ability is the Only wan ..which He offers..
Plus the Fact THAT Ability tae Score the goals..
Is Not.. CONSISTENT over Long Period of time..
such as Mr. McGrory.. or Any oter of the Celtic High Percentage Goal Getters..
Offered..
Then..
Lke Ah hiv Said..
The inconsistent goal scorer..
Who does Not any ither Redeeming Qualities.. in order tae offer The Team..
Then..
Well..
Like Ah said ,At the beginning..
Oan the Subject of Commons..n McGregor..n.. Guidetti..
Ah will No be satisfied..
Until ,Ah see their collective backs. Leaving us Fur The Tall n Uncut.
P.D.Q.
Noo Ye Know..

Kojo you’re off your chomp Commons is the main man end of story.
This blokes thoughts on huns taking offence at being labelled monkeys.

Wasn’t sure if the online bet Fred would have paid out on my double tonight as it was a special bet which stated 90mins only.
Both teams scored their winners 90+ mins, but they paid out……. Another wee win to add to last weekends.
Happy days CSC
I will send you back to Ireland preferably on a slave ship!
I will sing f–k your Pope.
I will criminalise your goalies expression of faith.
I will slit your throat..
I will display my bigotry at parades all over Scotland.
I will wade up to my knees in your blood.
I will always cheat.
But please don’t call me a monkey cause i am a sensitive we soul.
What about the sheepies ????

I don’t know who yer speakin to in the Celtic faithful, but most of the guys I speak to think Kris Commons should be the first name on the team sheet an’ dye know what….I totally concur.
The other 2, can’t really disagree
HH pc67
Kojo
I like Commons but now think we have a better replacement in GMS. I agree KC has probably already given us his best years. I’m not sure I’d give him £20k /week for the next 104 weeks. Especially as GMS is likely on less than half of that and is signed until 2020.
Guidetti should be chased. His ‘will he won’t he’ presence is unsettling. I’d rather nurture Griffiths.
there you go

When the bookies state 90 mins, they mean prior to the full time whistle.

I started a new job on Monday, really enjoying it.
cultsbhoy
What makes you think that Commons is on £20k/week?
Kojo
One or two good points there and as I said hours ago KC was off his game for months this season but generally his play is good historically and is looking much sharper again, And 70 odd goals in 4 years suggests he is no flash in the pan
Spot on about Guidetti though
Jimbo67
I stopped buying a newspaper about 5 or 6 years ago ? Probably a bit longer
Didn’t believe the vast majority of what they printed, be that sport or news
Why should I now believe them ?
So I haven’t read anything about us big Bad Celtic Supporters
Never seen anything in CQN either about any condemnation in the media of that other Mob’s blatant sectarianism throughout Sunday
Jist saying
Hail Hail
This story recieved less than 200 words, yet the same story could have been ran every day after a Sevco home game over the last 2-3 years.

It was fact and true!! I was nearly murdered by them. I was highlighting how devious they are they were not even playing that day. Obviously that went right over ur head!!
Fav uncle….yes boss…ps…you couldnae settle in Australia…laughing….

KC is one of the cleverest footballers I have seen wear the hoops, he has about 8 years on GMS, to suggest GMS is a better replacement is a bit premature.

And I’ve already said that from my experience that’s not how these incidents play out.
I think you’re right, there will have been verbals from both sides but after that none of us know what happened.
Bada,
Both are away games.
Commons is a good player but we have to adjust our system to play him .
Think Armstrong and McKay Stevens give us a better chance of playing the coaches preferred system.
Our service to the strikers is still to slow and sporadic but the new Bhoys should improve this.
Would keep Commons but realistic to his situation.
