BBC investigative journalist, Mark Daly, has shown remarkable fortitude in pursuing Craig Whyte, but it’s clear to any unbiased observer that our hero is totally innocent of the serious allegation levelled at him. Yesterday, Reporting Scotland suggested Whyte may have committed perjury in the witness box at Glasgow Sheriff Court in December last year in a case involving the supply of roofing materials.
Craig handled the second question on his disqualification as a company director, “You can’t remember why you were banned for seven years?” pitch perfectly.
He said, “Well, I’m not going to say in open court and get it wrong.”
This was a good answer, a very good answer. Saying something wrong in open court is not what our man wants to do.
It was the third question that those pesky BBC types have tried to make trouble over: “Was it anything to do with the treatment of creditors?”
To which Craig replied, “No.”
One insignificant, two-letter, word that people are trying to build into something more than it is. If only he’d kept to the simple, “I’m not going to say in open court and get it wrong” reply, none of this perjury nonsense would be raised.
Now we have the messy business of a sheriff, currently deliberating the roofing materials case based on the evidence presented, being interrupted by all this rubbish. Have you any idea how complicated it becomes for a sheriff to discharge his duties when perjury is publicly being alleged (incorrectly, I may add) before he has even reached his verdict? He’s left in a very difficult position and will not be pleased.
Last night Craig’s spokesman gave you the truth, saying the BBCs latest hatchet job was “a variation on what the BBC already alleged in a documentary riddled with inaccuracies and falsehoods”.
The BBC also published extracts of a written judgement of a trial at the Royal Courts of Justice Companies Court from 2000 which saw Craig’s seven year ban imposed after he put a company into liquidation.
Inaccuracies and falsehoods – and the guy, fair-minded that he is, didn’t even grab the opportunity to have another day in court, this time against the broadcaster. I’d love to see you take them on, Craig. Keep up the good work.

Finally, Celtic fan, Billy Connolly, has been in the news recently so I thought we would give a spin to one of his early works. Apologies for the mild use of colourful language. Firm apologies to Strathclyde Police, who are the subject of some fun here but who I hold in the highest esteem (I’m serious at this part), and just for the record, the following song is a gentle poke at the authorities honesty in court and in no way related to persons mentioned anywhere on Celtic Quick News.

To be fair to Spiers I do believe he believes what he says, if you see what I mean. Might not agree with him but I do believe he is ‘calling it as he sees it’ ie he is several times the journalist than Keevins is. Who is not a journalist and hasn’t been for a long long time. He is a columnist. Like Richard Littlejohn or numerous other bampots employed in that alleged profession. He will say anything to provoke a reaction. Truth is a foreign and forgotten land for Das soupmeister.

LOl GS says 81 million debt under Murray only half that under Whyte, lol. I think asking who was worse for the buns was like asking would you rather have dysentery or Malaria? Hmm neither?

HAHA!! cracker mate!!
Was thinking this before GS also brought up the idea of stripping past titles that they unfairly won. He said that every title, cup and european…oh wait, right every title and cup would have an asterisk next to it.
Why stop there? Could this be the inspiration for the newco? How about………Rangers* F.C.

Sorry pal, you’ve had the back off this!
GD ” He will come out the other end”. Make of that what you will.

Good on you son
Lhads, Paisley was a pretty despicable man, but making jokes about anyone with alzeimers is below us. We are better than that, leave THEM to that kind of knuckle-dragging.
