I hear there are rumours in the old media today that David Longmuir prepared a plan with Charles Green and Peter Lawwell before briefing Scottish Football League clubs this week. I suppose the rumours are half right. No one from Celtic was involved in this nonsense.
Special mention to Gavin Masterton, owner of 94% of Dunfermline shares, who last month told the BBC “The football club is debt-free. There is no bank debt. The debt is to myself and the other directors.”
This new kind of “debt-free”, talked about by Dunfermline and one other lower league club is more dangerous than it seems as just three weeks later Dunfermline admit they expect HMRC to apply for a winding up order.
Fans have raised around £250k, enough to pay HMRC in full, but they are asking Masterton to value his shares at a level they would reach if an administrator was appointed, which will happen if the fans don’t pay. Masterton’s recovery plan was to issue £500k of shares for around 25% of the club. Nice, for him.
Nine years ago Masterton and Dunfermline director John Yorkston were embroiled in the financial calamity which afflicted Livingston. This tale of woe is worth reading, as is the story about the downfall of Bank of Scotland by Iain Fraser, who writes, “The rot set at Bank of Scotland in when the likes of Gavin Masterton and Peter Cummings started handing millions of pounds to their pals, without doing much in the way of due diligence.
Fraser also speculates “Foolishly, Cummings and his predecessor Gavin Masterton handed [Sir David] Murray a total of £760m on a “no questions asked, handshake only” basis and, in the current environment … realised he hasn’t much chance of paying this back”, in an interesting article on the Bank and the liquidated football club.
Mr Masterton is clearly the only qualified candidate as the next president of the Scottish Football Association. After Mr Peat (former director of liquidated club Airdrieoneans) and incumbent Mr Ogilvie (former director of liquidated club Rangers) the bar has been set at an astonishing level.
“Utterly astonishing”, as our old friend used to say.
Be wary of people to say they are debt free when what they mean is they have no bank debt. Be very wary of bums who try to convince you that them being denied bank lending is a good thing.
If company credit rating equals zero, credibility rating equals (I’m away to find out if a whole number is required here).

Its an attack on people who have no one to fight their case. Some are being forced out of their homes they have lived in for years. There was a case on the radio recently where a woman needed constant care that her daughter provided as she lived nearby.Now she is being forced to move just because she has an extra room. At the end of the day she will need more care from the state.
We need to fight this they way we didnt fight the poll tax!!!
Iain Duncan Smith’s gonna get ye!

Caught a bit of the phone in tonight and in addition they were subtly discrediting David Longmuir over his comments (taken form the Mcleish report)….The anti Rangers bile has reached a crescendo…It seems that anything that will “benefit” Rangers in the eyes of the hordes can only come from someone with a pro Rangers agenda…its embarrassing and so many people fail to see the bigger picture because it is clouded with a hatred of us….How we move forward from here I dont know but despite us proving our innocence time and again the only people seemingly trying to move on are our club whilst everyone else wants to hold us to account for everything!

The first time I saw this….. May you sleep like a clubbed seal…..it was directed towards bournesoup…
And nobody said a thing, that surprised me, knowing CQN like I do, many posters get their nicks in a twist over the slightest of things, but when a poster hopes another sleeps like he has been clubbed to death, not a peep, tis a strange blog at times.
Yer man is a troll, he may well be a celtic supporter, but he ain’t a Tim.
And I still reckon he is getting paid to be on here, I will think that untill someone can confirm different, and I doubt that will ever happen.

“Has there ever been a footballer whose star has dimmed so swiftly and markedly as Fernando Torres?”
Winston Bogarde did not bad in that respect – at Chelsea an awe
===========
Tony Cascarino would take some beating for being an utter let down. Great piece of business swapping him with Tom Boyd – at Chelsea an awe.
Now Tom Boyd is what I call a Celtic Man.
67 heaven
Yes
This is from the BBC report on the Newcastle game:
“Papiss Cisse scored with the last kick of the game to send Newcastle into the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
The Senegal striker headed in Sylvain Marveaux’s cross three minutes into injury time to break the stalemate.”
“last kick” was a “header”
FFS!
Worthy of the msm.

Jock Stein and Lions are legends and have been such a huge part of our life, not to mention people who have inspired and shaped communities throughout Scotland.
They will NEVER, ever be equalled.

What part of guilty do they not understand ???
I know they are as thick as shit, but, ffs, they have been found guilty of everything, not once have they had a NOT GUILTY against them, not even a not proven, everything has casted them as cheats, fraudsters, liers and thiefs…and yet the brain dead scum still profess their innocence.
If brains were chocolate, they couldn’t fill a Smartie.
Hell mend the lot of them.
This is how to clear your defence

The colts idea is simply a sop to deidco fans. Celtic should take nothing to do with this, sevco are as skint as a paisley busker so any way of getting a regular game against us is a chance to increase their 400k sponsor deal.
NFl, PL and the players should treat sevco like a hobby in a swimming pool
Hobby = jobby!

===============================================
I wonder if anyone on here is in to psychology and knows what the cause of this is? We all have our opinions I suppose.
I have been dealing with some employers lately in my work for my Union and I can’t escape the comparison between their behaviour and that of Sevco – they have had findings against them from various tribunals, procedures etc but maintain with me that they have done nothing wrong and that it’s the victims of their bullying and harassment that are to blame for complaining about the bullying and harassment. They won’t look within, they won’t change, they won’t challenge themselves to be honest and to do things better. So more trouble is coming. No contrition, no acceptance of responsibility = repeating the same negative behaviours of the past.
As you say, hell mend them.
Sounds familiar doesn’t it.
Tet.
They really think they done no wrong and are persecuted.
Working with them, i hear it everyday and they are taken aback when i say they were cheating b******s
The new angle seems to be don’t you miss the old firm games…The cabal is pulling strings,There is something amiss…paranoid…yes.
Crushed nuts
Correct…as apposed to giving the MSM quotes about how you’d like to play them again in the SPL
‘crushed nuts?’ ‘Naw, Layringitis!’
The problem PL has, is that if we don’t get CL football, we need OF football.
Daddy or Chips.
Not that I agree with that thinking, but as sure as eggs are eggs, is the way the suits see things.
Personally, it’s Daddy for me.
Crushed Nuts, I remember a top striker who was labeled a flop at Chelsea, He went on to bigger and better things……….. I think his name was Chris Sutton.
When Wull You Fellahs..

If we need CL football ..which I agree we do
Then I hope that PL &co will back the manager with cash …Lenny has made us a fortune this year …they need to give him some of the revenue generated from this season …..and NO shareholder dividends
Clegg by name : Clegg by nature.
If you and me perjured ourselves and perverted the course of justice, we be saying hello to Officer Dibble for many many years, and No One would care.
No wonder Unkle Chunkles thinks Sevco is a hoot!
Small taters, big mash-up.
Lend us a shekel, Chunkles?

My wife is a doc of the head, I have been asking her to write something for long enough about it, but her stock reply is…….they are wired differently, so no comparison to humanity is worthy.
She is busy just now, but as my life has been consumed with their cheating, or the fact that they have been found to be cheating, she has relented a tad, and she will write something when she gets a bit of time, she hates them as much as I do.

If the huns carry out their boycott there will be a collective sigh
of relief from every wee toon in scotland.
Exiled Tim – I look forward to that!!
Scottish football (officialdom) is corrupt from top to bottom. Recent judgements and actions by our politicians, police and judiciary only verify that. Some time ago, I heard from a senior official of BoS that he could access the accounts of every football club in the U.K. bar one , No prizes for the answer but the clue lies in the initials R.F.C. – SURPRISE, SURPRISE! In recent years, decisions by courts, tribunals,judges, referees , etc appear to have let this club get off virtually ‘scot free’ and according to their ‘leader ‘ they are in a stronger financal position than any other club. Where does that leave us ? I can only hope that the club which I have supported for over 60 years, which was founded on the principle of helping the poor , will be able to stand up at all times for what is RIGHT – COME WHAT MAY!
P.S. Why doesn’t Dunfermline do what Rangers did?
