Atletico, Malaga, “breathtaking hypocrisy”

1307

I was pleased Hearts won last night as all season I’ve been telling people we will win the league by double figures. Dropping the ball on Wednesday night put that in jeopardy but the gap is back to 12 points ahead of the visit of Motherwell on Sunday.

Ronny is likely to deploy more first choice players for his final game as Celtic manager against a Motherwell team who staged a remarkable recovery after a dreadful 2015, which would have seem them relegated if it weren’t for the huge gap between Premiership and Championship.

It looked like farewell from Emilio on Wednesday but you have to expect a few more will possibly make their final competitive appearances in the hoops this weekend.

I see a “Five-in-a-row but Peter Lawwell just cannot win” article in The Scotsman. Aye, fair enough, but the article ploughs into the Resolution 12 guys, and accuses other Celtic fans of “breathtaking hypocrisy”.

It appears to imply Financial Fair Play rules are not applied elsewhere in Europe (citing Atletico Madrid), so there should be no issues with the rules not applying to Rangers in 2011. I don’t follow Spanish club licencing too closely, but you will remember Malaga being banned by Uefa for having “overdue payables” to the Spanish tax authorities.

The rules ARE applied, clubs are banned from European competition for overdue payables.

I’ve been in touch with both the Res 12 guys and Celtic on this matter this morning (they continue to work together on a daily basis). It’s fair to say both robustly rejected the tone in the article.  I don’t know how this matter will end, but it will not be decided at Hampden, or in a newspaper office – cards marked one more time.

    If you are Boaz, who is Jachin?

     

     

    Does he play for Sydney FC?

     

     

    Night all. I’m off to hit the pillar.

     

     

    Enjoy the match later.

    Petec,

     

     

    Things were a wee bit dull for a while as I was “lurking”…..then in you came….and I realised….as I’ve always known….you post generally on the nightshift only.

    Evening/Morning all fellow Tims. Just home and not read back. Who`s fighting wae who tonight? Macjay involved? -smiley thing-

     

    =========================================================

    Aburntoutcase,

     

    No, but the guy who was called Alasdair MacLean in real life did.

     

    No sure if his parents’ christened him with the correct spelling of his Christian name…..as I have on this blog.

  7. Alasdair MacLean,

     

     

    It is better that way. I play CSGO with my wee brother in Switzerland and it is not until late on I come on CQN.

     

     

    I’m hoping Jim pushes on next season at RC. I think he will look to Celtic to loan a couple of players.

     

     

    He will want to finish above the haters Big Time.

    PAIN

     

     

    When the pain comes they run and hide their heads

     

    They might as well be dead

     

    when the pain comes, when the pain comes

     

    For all the hun crimes they slip into the shade

     

    (when the Sun dumbs down)

     

    And sip their masquerade

     

    (when the sun dumbs down)

     

    For all the hun crimes, for all the hun crimes.

     

    Zombies, I don’t mind

     

    Shine, the weather’s fine

    P.L. can ring my resolution anytime.

     

     

    Remind me now.

     

    Who chose the players we signed ?

  10. Hail Hail

     

    Despite our many differences the Celtic family are stronger together.

     

    Faith, hope and charity..

     

    The one common theme that can unite us all is the most important gift of all: charity.

     

    Whatever is said that divides us let’s try to settle differences with that in mind.

     

    We cam agree/disagree with many important issues effecting our club but hopefully we can do so with mutual respect and keep our emotions in check even when provoked.

     

    Lets all enjoy our trophy/flag day tomorrow.

     

    Hail Hail

  11. Met a Tim from Tennessee today.

     

     

    Just bumped into him on the strip, he recognized my 125 year badge on the otherwise innocent looking cap.

     

     

    We’re everywhere I tell you.

    Thanks to Awe Naw and Morissey for the heads up.

     

     

    ok res12 Paypal donation made to CQN bookstore Newspaper statement fund.

     

     

    I wonder how many adverts CQN could take out for a few % of a Lawwell bonus?

     

     

    or even better how many adverts could CQN take out with a small fraction of the thousands of pounds I contributed to CQN back in the “Not lazy Journalism” days. Isn’t it ironic that the custodians of CQN now have to set up funds for this after 3.5 years??

     

     

    I wonder what piqued their interest. My guess is some discussions with Lawwell underestimating the current mindset of the non happy clapper contingent.

     

     

    BMCUW…what is the link to the Kitalba Azerbaijan fund?

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

     

    Hi,Mags.

     

     

    I’m working on it. Mibbe shouldnae have tried to start doing so tonight,mind!

     

     

    Plan is for groundwork tomorrow and heavy graft on Monday,I’ll be heading into work then and use my desktop.

     

     

    Which means I can borrow the IT buff in exchange for the promise of a beer or six!

     

     

    Thanks for your interest,bud. Thanks to EVERYONE for it I know you won’t let me down,and I hope that the website is enough in itself to make you all go-hivti,haun in poakit.

    Park did. With PL pulling the strings.

     

     

    That would work if it worked. But it patently doesn’t.

     

     

    Night

    Petec,

     

     

    Manager of the year…is staying here in the county of Ross for another year I hope.

     

    Along with a lot of ex Celtic youths…

     

    “Young” Gardyne being the prime example.

     

     

    I think Young MacIntyre is a favourite relation of yours?

     

     

    Anyway, nice to meet Delaney’s Dunky last weekend!

     

     

    Hope to see him and his in-laws up supporting the kids playing for the County against the Celts next season.

  16. aburntoutcase on

    Sin City. It will take months to repeal it (if it ever happens). Loads of beau….beu…red tape to get through.

  17. Alasdair MacLean,

     

     

    No he isnae related at all. He hails from Bellsmyre and he is highly thought of by all my Family, despite none of them seeing him since he stayed in Bellsmyre, and that was a long long time ago.

     

     

    I hope he stays for another couple of Seasons at least and builds things there.

  18. Alasdair MacLean on

    Petec,

     

     

    Just finished listening to / watching that link…”I’d rather”….magical. how on earth do people find the time to put that together…or find it?

  19. SydneyTim says sack Lawell now on

    Macjay. For the hundredth time

     

     

    Ronny picked players from the list that was provided to him from park/Lawell

     

    That list only contained projects

     

     

    If those lists are presented again to the new boss and he accepts it, then we still won’t be able to complete with your malmos , mode , Maribor etc

     

     

    It is Lawell that’s the problem , only his removed will improve things and move res 12 on

    Al Mac Originally Renfrewshire (second gen Co.Tyrone) Been in Invergee for thirty years.
