It was Back to the Future on Saturday afternoon, listening to Aberdeen rescue a point against Dundee was more like 1985 than 2015. TV highlights suggest Aberdeen pounded Dundee, but three excellent goals were enough for the visitors to set the stage for Celtic to return to the top of the league against Motherwell on Wednesday.
Aberdeen have been imperious in recent months. Incredibly, apart from Dundee and Celtic, they have failed to keep a clean sheet only once (at drubbing at Hamilton) since September. That’s title challenging form in any language.
This run is unlikely to endure as the vagaries of form and fortune catch them up, but it appears our long wait for a notional title rival looks to be over. Which is good.
Any business with operating expenses in the region of £33m a year, which is £2.75m a month or just over £600k a week, that had to borrow £500k in the first week of the month in order to pay an unexpected tax bill of the same magnitude, will by now be in urgent need of funds to pay rates, other tax liabilities, electricity and gas (no matter how little they used on Friday), while wages day is approaching. And remember, those gardens don’t ‘duty’ themselves.
Newco Rangers will need a loan, or to sell a player for cash, to avoid imminently slipping into insolvency. If Dave King is confident about carrying shareholders at a March EGM, and has the resources, he should loan the club money to get them through the next two months, no strings attached. A bit like John Keane did for Celtic in 1994. With insolvency looming, Keane, currently a Celtic director, but at the time an agitator for boardroom change, wrote a seven figure cheque, no strings attached, to pay-down Celtic’s overdraft, as the Bank of Scotland threatened to call in administrators.
Anything less than this is playing into the hands of Mike Ashley.

Serious question for you legal types (this is where I particularly miss Paul McConville).
How does McDowell’s resignation change his status if an insolvency event should occur? Would he now be a secured creditor? Did he see a train coming sooner than expected?

Something must be about to ‘blow’ ….

Holmbert Fridjonsson, I believe he is out on loan at the mo.
like no other
Right. So now you’re here you need the context of my earlier comment. It was very pro Bankie in their defence.
But you need to stop calling any of us old cos delaney’s and sipsini are like young Bhoy band lurv Ghod thingies!
Shower n bed for me timdom.

fieldofdrams,
Above post was for you mate. HH
Only just noticed the SA rumours…
I’m ‘ justafan’ with no inside lines at all.
But I really hope he signs. Think I may have been first (about 16 months ago?) to plead for this lad. I predicted him as a future captain of Celtic and Scotland and a more substantial successor to Broonie.

Where the hell are my sedatives ?

DONE DEAL: Reliable source informing me that we have signed Stuart Armstrong for £2.5m on a 3 year contract.
In an attempt to quell the unrest down Govan way…………………….. TRIFC (formerly known as Sevco) plan to unveil a Dual Management role at Friday’s Press Conference.
Bill & Ben (Little Weed will step in to cover the GK coaching role).
Please continue to Watch with Mother for further updates!
Younger CQNers will need to Google – to appreciate!

You are welcome any time. I will buy you a pint.
If Alfie comes to Bankieland, stands in my local and tells the pub what he posted on here. Then it would be ugly. Esp if TCR was in supping. :))

They will do the same as McOist, green fingers, who would have thunk it :)
The gift that I really don’t want to die, what would we do for laughs when they are really gone ?

Anyone notice how Broonie ‘played quarterback’ against Hamilton & Killie. Standing as last mhan taking the ball from the goalie and spraying forward some quality passes.
His positional sense is excellent and he could do a job for us there in the latter stages of his career if and when a youngster like Armstrong comes in to do some of the running about.
Me likey

If it wasn’t so late I would phone my nephew. He gave me a big hint at SA & GMS both being here in Jan, at my mam’s yesterday.

Our second caller this evening comes from Gregor in Banff, your on live Gregor go ahead please.
Gregor: “Thanks Mike, I have a tree fern with no fronds it has been neglected for many years as the property has been tenanted. Can it be saved”
Mike: Ally I think that’s one for you?
Ally: ” Yes thanks you Mike, Gregor put your hand in the crown at the top and if it feels like you’d imagine an orang-utans knuckles feel like then its fine and probably needs some feeding . id imagine though that if its been through a winter or two without being wrapped up its probably dead as the stem as such is made up of the dead stems of the leaves from the years before . the living part is the top really .
Kenny: “Ally is 100% correct though it should be able to take the last 3 winters without any protection. If you can feel fronds in the crown then I would treat the crown every 2 weeks with a seaweed fertiliser to try and boost its strength. Only Ally wold think of it being like Orang Outan’s knuckles! lol”
Thanks for your input Gregor, after the break more questions, don’t go away por cierto
Beatbhoy
I always laugh at auld classics. I did at your’s there. Hahaha. :)

Still chuckling away here 10 minutes later :-))).
“Jobby” is just such a funny word :-))))))
McDowell – was at a dinner with him when he was at the Tic, along with Daniel Fergus McGrain – and Wee Craigie Broon (who told some VERY uncomplimentary stories about that Scotland Legned – Gough).
McDowell seemed a plausible enough chap, but has been shown up as a bufoon of a man for leaving us to go to the old Them, then staying with the new Them too.
As others have quoted, its all downhill after you leave Celtic (and I count Henrik in that – I mean, who would even want to win the Big Cup if you were not wearing the Hoops at the time?!?).

English FA showing how tax cheats should be treated re Cellini /fit and proper personages (as much as it galls me to admit it).
With reference to Darren Fletcher Valencia and West Brom meant to be interested.
Love to see supporters playing for the team (unless their taking a throw in against Partizan).
HH Away to Thank The Lord for being born a Tim.
Guys, please!!!… can’t take any more of this.. Have been in tears and pain with sides splitting and ribs cracking at the banter on here all night. I can not remember such humiliation pointed at anyone as I’ve read here, and the fact it’s directed at the huns makes it all the more enjoyable. Just when you think it’s gonna die down, the next scene opens and the hilarity starts again. Keep it up guys… if the huns think they have got away with their tax dodging.. at least let us keep reminding them of their demise.. they deserve it.
Hail Hail, God Bless all Celtic Supporters.

Funny how a theme on here produces stuff from the dark recesses of the memory!

Noticed that and broony is good, but positional sense is not his strong point. Running back to get the ball off CG isnae hard, positional sense is shown in the rough and tumble of open play. You got it or you don’t.
Still think right of a three or right midfield is his best position.
He played a blinder the one time he played right back for us if I remember. Absolute stand out….
embramike-i think if it was true ,it would be more than 3 years for that fee.HH
