BBC article shows “writing on the wall”

321
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Chris McLaughlin’s article on BBC last night had a style to it: informed, pointing the way things will go, but revealing no sources.  Null and void has “pretty much been taken off the table as an option”.

“Playing out the season is what everyone wants, but there is a growing realisation that this scenario is looking increasingly unlikely.”  Whereas ending the league now “is the outcome that most are now expecting”.

“Rangers [sic.] might argue that Celtic could be caught. Few in the game believe that would happen in reality, and it may well be that inside Ibrox they are already aware that calling the season is more than likely.”

Even Ann Budge at Hearts, we are told, “is also a pragmatist and if the writing is on the wall, she will get the best deal she can and get on with it.”  Before Chris added “for Hearts fans the writing is very much on the wall.”

The article is caveated, I know as much as anyone that even impeccably sourced information can be invalidated by changing circumstances, but we do not see journalists who have access to impeccable sources, which Chris McLaughlin has, use phrases like “taken off the table”, “the outcome most are now expecting” and “writing is very much on the wall” without those sources being consulted.

    There are some musicians that touch you and leave an indelible mark.

     

    For me, that guy was John Prine.

     

    I first heard him in the mid 70’s and from the first song , like most of us, it was ‘Sam Stone’,

     

    I was totally captivated by his story telling.

     

    John was a funny guy, and this shone in many of his songs.

     

    I was lucky enough to see John live on many occasions , the last being a rain drenched night, at the Kelvingrove bandstand, some 20 odd months ago. Every time was a joy.

     

    For those of us steeped in what is now called Americana music, JP was a colossus.

     

    John, thanks for the memories, you will be sadly missed by many. RIP

    Bill Gates is the biggest individual funder of THE World Health Organisation.

     

    Many fingers being pointed in the direction of Mr Gates.

    On Saturday had the drive jet washed ( careful not to damage the heating element).Today got the kiln dried sand out to refill the gaps. Fortunately the players are at a loose end and the drives long enough to have them 2 metres apart. Of course couple of the squad players are self isolating in the attic.

     

    Bye for now

    Macjay posts a link from the Tory Sky News, that Trump is blaming WHO.

     

    Of course he’s going to blame someone else.

     

     

    The facts are that both Trump and Johnston are culpable and the figures will support that. Our government is responsible for the scale of deaths.

     

     

    Judge for yourself, here is the full catalogue of the events and what was known, no spin or opinions just the facts.

    Macjay,

     

    i have asked a number of times,

     

    what exactly are the queen and her brood

     

    doing to help this country in the current crisis?

    I had hoped this Blog might be a more friendly humorous place during this pandemic. A place of refuge where the bored, the worried & the depressed might find a bit of light relief & a bit of companionship albeit virtual companionship.

     

    However it’s actually worse than normal,

    They are hiding out in their second home, their holiday home.

     

     

    Didn’t someone in a high profile position resign for travelling to a second home ?

    Mcjay,

     

    sorry??

     

    I thought you were the one who continually

     

    moaned the other day until someone gave an answer to your

     

    question about the queen.

     

    I answered,thought you might have the courtesy to answer the question i asked you,

     

    your response backs up what plenty say on this blog,dont bother

    Back in. Had a look at the MSM and noticed the Huns ripping up their turf, now how is that work essential, bear in mind Aberdeen players were warned by the police for training

    OK.

     

     

    I responded the other day to commentary insulting the Queen.

     

    Note responded. Not initiated.

     

     

    You refer to the Queen and her BROOD .

     

    What is the point of attempting to discuss a matter with someone whose mind is closed to the subject ?

     

    You don`t like the Queen and her Brood.

     

    Perfectly understandable . No problem.

  41. lets all do the huddle on

    if the huns cant fulfill any of their fixtures once the league kicks off again because they have ripped up their pitch then i would assume thats an automatic 3-0 scoreline in favour of their opponents

     

     

    sounds good to me

  42. gordybhoy64 on

    Macjay,

     

    i am simply asking that you reply to my question,

     

    my like or dislike of them is not in any way relevent.
