Beware snooping TV mics

640

Offensive, insulting and abusive language is not condoned on CQN nor anywhere else but if you’re mumbling to this effect while typing more prosaic comments we don’t have a problem. If, by some clever use of technology, I discretely caught you on mic while recording a feature for CQN and broadcast your words it would be my fault, not yours.

If Neil Lennon addressed insulting or abusive language at an official or opponent then he should be correctly disciplined, but if, as reported, television microphones picked up randomly comments there is no case to answer.

We’re getting back to the days when directional radio mics were used to pick up sound from Celtic fans getting off buses outside Falkirk Stadium in 2009. This one feels opportunistic and is not balanced by audio from other technical areas under scrutiny. If this is how the SFA want to control technical areas, they should issue advice to this effect and introduce appropriate measures, not attempt to discipline Neil Lennon without precedent.

  1. The Comfortable Collective on

    Paddy Power are giving odds of 4/1 on Celtic winning the league this weekend.

     

     

    I think that is rather attractive.

  2. Rumours on twitter that the scottish hun are publishing a story from Whyte tomorrrow, maybe he has some recording equipment as well?

  3. 'crushed nuts?' 'Naw, Layringitis!' on

    I recall a TU meeting where one of the speakers was admonished for using the word ‘arsehole’. He asked for the right of reply and proceeded to apologise for saying arsehole and if anyone was offended by his using the word arsehole then he promised to try and refrain from using it, he finished off, to a standing ovation, with an apology to any arseholes present!

    EDB-I don’t accept it.That comes from a lack of perceived leadership from DD.I don’t think DD would know who we are playing on Saturday (amongst other things).I think he lets PL run CFC as he sees fit.It would only end up in DD’s voicemail,if it was major issues like moving to a different League for example.HH

    What can the rags do throw sticks and stones, we have no friends within the walls of the media institutions so nothing lost nothing gained! Lets challenge every little thing no matter how petty. 2 years ago they were terrified that we were gonae bankrupt them with our challenges so they ain’t invincible! Lets not give them an inch, don’t let let them catch a breath and go back again and again; they are already broken if we blow hard enough the house of cards would fall.

    oh and I don’t think this is over by a long way, a claver lawyer will blow sevco’s argument out of the water

     

    >>>>>>>>>>>>

     

    A monkey in a suit would win this ET. A clever lawyer will simply ask the ET to discover whether sevco has the bangers & mash to fund an adverse outcome (in order to avoid wasting the court’s time).

    I FULLY agree with you…..the cheating barstewards have cheated every team and fan in Scotland…… They have caused other teams to build up unsustainable debts trying to compete with cheats, and some clubs have ended up being liquidated as a result ….AND, on a personal level, I an feckin raging…..my SB has cost me circa £15,000 over the past 12 years (not to mention the shares I purchased at 3 share issues……only to discover that I have been cheated also….. BUT THE ‘BIG GAME’ IS THEIR DEMISE, AND THAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED ….WITH SEVCO TO FOLLOW SOON

    They’re buying time cause they don’t have the mazoola to pay his £6k per week

  13. The Comfortable Collective on

    ….PFayr at 21:50

     

     

    Yes, as simple as that.

     

     

    Only way Celtic win the league this weekend is a Celtic win (3/10) and murderwell defeat (i.e. a St. Mirren win at 3/1).

     

     

    Combined odds of those two results on a double is 4.2 to 1. Or approximately 4/1.

  14. Bada Bing

     

     

    I think you’re wrong. PL puts out board policy whether he agrees with it or not.

     

     

    And on my previous point about Lenny I recall reading an article whereby he said that he speaks to DD at least once a week and that DD had suggested ways in which he could go about his business better.

     

     

    Seems to me he’s not listening given his, again, stupid outburst at the weekend.

     

     

    Do I expect the manager of one of the greatest football clubs in the world to behave so idiotically? Of course not.

     

     

    And don’t bring up Sir Whallex who manages not a great club but rather the Harlem Globetrotter equivalent in soccer.

  15. The Comfortable Collective on

    ….PFayr

     

     

    Celtic will be winning easily early doors against Hibs – game over.

     

     

    murderwell will take the lead in the first half. St. Mirren will equalise around about 76 minutes. And one of the saints ex tims will score their winner in 86-87 minutes.

     

     

    You read it here first.

  16. Don’t see Peter Lawwell defending the manager unless Dermot tells him too. I suspect Dermot will tell Pedro to hire a QC now , with Ogilvie after Neil now.

     

     

    Dermot knows the sectarian hatred the manager has endured with bombs and bullets and 2 guilty people doing time. This time it’s Ogilvie/SFA on the attack.

     

     

    To have microphones directed towards the Celtic dugout , reeks of Agent Provacateur. Lenny mentioned after the game that the behaviour of the St Mirren dugout was terrible. has Campbell Ogilvie asked for an audio of the St Mirren dug out to pick up their colourful language or was it conveniently turned off to ensure the would be only Lenny on charge.

     

     

    Celtic will fight this flimsy attack ; failure to do so would infuriate the support.

     

     

    Bring it on Ogilvie….we will win !!!

  17. I think I can rhyme off the names of every CQNr going to the FAC demo in my sleep now……is there any particular reason why this has been posted at least twice as many times as there are CQNrs going?

  18. Lucky Cody

     

     

    Hope you’re right

     

     

    Anything else will indeed infuriate the support

  19. Dontbrattbakkinanger on

    EDB- Man U are a great club, and SAF is a great manager.

     

     

    Doesn’t mean you have to like them/him, but I would respectfully suggest it seems perverse to say otherwise

  20. !!Bada Bing!! on

    EDB-Neil has overstepped the mark before, but i don’t think what he said on Sunday after the game was out of order.Shouting from the side of the park? You will catch any manager plus his coaches getting into verbal spats in most games,if you have a microphone next to them you will hear what you want to hear.HH.I don’t expect PL to make a statement every time a pissed off guy posts on a blog,but there have been major issues in recent years where we have sat on our hands.

  21. The Spirit of Arthur Lee on

    I thought Neil would have given his own players more abuse after the last few games

     

     

    But what do i know

  22. !!Bada Bing!! on

    FWIW my mate was in the Main Stand at the SC tie at Paisley a few weeks ago,he text me during the game to say the bile directed at NL was constant,no microphones at that game?

    It’s what they do ….

     

     

    Wonder how many arrests there were in terms of that “offensive ” nonsense act …

  24. league reconstruction:

     

     

    simply have an 18 team top flight with 2 leagues of 12 under that.

     

     

    36 league games a season = 1 at home and 1 away from home

     

     

    add to the league multiple relegations and relegation playoffs and European football playoff spots to keep the whole league interesting and to reduce meaningless games

     

     

    fairer share of t.v, radio etc… income throughout the leagues from top to bottom( more clubs getting less money, but bridging the gap)

     

     

    have euro participation money pot where 50% of all profit from European football goes directly into the league, with the other 50% going to the participating club (improved competition, league, overall income from all clubs, close gap between top two and other 4 team, increase gap between top 6 and rest of league and we’re more likely to see more competition, interest and supporters at the games as well as, improve euro runs)

     

     

    set our football to run during the summer months so we play in better weather, have less competition for football on t.v and increase our clubs chances for being in Europe after july/ august

     

     

    set up Scottish football channel with a competitive league that regularly has several league challengers and excitement and we’ll easily get 150k viewers and good sponsorship would drive up the income from t.v tenfold. add the selling of most popular games to mainstream t.v and we’re talking.

     

     

    merge the governing bodies so that only money needed to run Scottish football is used, rather than having lots of people taking from a pie while our clubs die before us.

     

     

    have MLS type transfer system in which the league can support clubs to retain good young Scottish players for a % of any return on transfer (help clubs keep and develop talented players.

     

     

    would be happy to see the introduction or b teams in lower leagues i.e. celtic, sevco, Dundee united etc…

     

     

    p.s I would go through with proposals being sought now before implementing changes in 3 years time when the clubs in the 12 leagues are living within their means with regular income and we have 24 full-time teams
