Broony Lewis, Fraud or not, Establishing Locus

370

Been in conference in deepest Manchester for a few days, has anything happened? First of all, well done to the captain for the whole onesie thing. I remember the days Celtic View staff had to campaign for days to get a word from a Celtic player. Notions that the senior players would roll their sleeves up and get involved with media, commercial or Foundation projects were fanciful.

While the move to Lennoxtown has no doubt been good for players and coaches, fans seldom get to see players in less formal roles, like this, or the now frequent Celtic shop visits.

BroonyIf you’ve not seen the video, check it out here.  It’s a Joy of Celtic kind of thing (which I know you have in spades).

Fraudulent or not?

Lord Haw-Haw: Yes.
William Shakespeare: Maybe.
Celtic, East Dunbartonshire and NHS Greater Glasgow: No.

Audit Scotland yesterday announced that there were no fraudulent activities surrounding the purchase of Lennoxtown by Celtic. Imagine that!  Celtic paid full price, including tax…

CQN and others spend years predicting the fate of Rangers and Murray International Holdings. The evidence was there, if a little hidden. Just because one group of fans can successfully uncover significant information on another club, doesn’t mean that any or every club is managed in an illicit manner.

The tip is: if you’re going to put a lot of time and effort into something, chose your subject carefully. Otherwise you not only waste your time, but you miss a whole lot of more serious action.

Establishing the locus…

….what you need to do before you are considered appropriate to mount a Judicial Review of a process. Mike Ashley did this yesterday, despite his 9% shareholding in Newco. Fan groups wishing to pursue the SPFL, should they fail to look at the goings-on at oldco in the light of various recent legal matters, will need to convince a judge they are entitled to ask for a Review.

There is a clear route for pursue, should it be necessary.

On Ashley’s Judicial Review of the SFA’s decision to fine him £1000. If the Association are wise they’ll capitulate now. He knows what they don’t, he started this action knowing he has enough to win.

So what would you prefer, Newco fan money goes into Newco, or is held for a more productive moment? I reckon they should pile in now.

    This is how football works

     

     

     

    Completely Bizarre and without rationale.

     

     

     

    Scott Allan will command the whole game tomorrow.

    Well said,

     

    I’m not Ronnies biggest fan,he may be a diddy in some folks eyes, but he’s our diddy so get behind him,never boo the team or Manager.

     

     

    Not exactly looking forward to Ajax game but remember we had 5 out vs Barca and that was OK.

    My response to Fred Quimby was related to only modifying his expectation ( hope ? ) that Ronny would leave soon.

     

     

    Support?

     

    Well of course I support.

     

    Of course I wish him and us well.

     

    On the other hand,i can see no cause for optimism.

     

    I can see no improvement in our team since he first took over the reins.

     

    I first had my doubts in August last year.I can see nothing to change my opinion.Quite the reverse,in fact.

     

    Mate.

     

    A slow train wreck with a loved one on board.

     

    AND……..a painfully expensive one.

    Ditch the gazebo crowd tomorrow and Sipsini will buy you a Guinness in the BV

  5. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    JC2 at 10.15, you are right, Broonie injured his knee blocking a Killie player, near the end of the game . Locke and Elbows were giving the fourth officials an earful as they thought it was a foul. Broonie was holding his knee after the incident.

     

     

    When Magenniss fouled Broonie earlier, he caught Scott on the ankle or lower shin.

    Oldtim not going so everyone will get to buy a round

    I am surprised that CQNers continue to use the BV. Last time I was there, they had Rangers TV on every screen. I know we are all inclusive at Celtic but there are limits 0:-).

     

    With the inspiration that is Scott Brown now missing, it is up to us, the support, to really get behind our team.A bit less of the anti -Ronny stuff on here would not be a bad start in helping to foment that more supportive attitude. I am a believer that Ronny has what it takes but even if I didn`t feel that, I would leave it up to the MSSM to do the negative stuff on Celtic.

  8. Blantyrettim,

     

     

    The decline of Man U as a decent footballing outfit is a disgrace. I never liked the club but always admired they way their players played – fast, attacking, entertaining.

     

     

    They are truly awful to watch these days. And when you consider the money they have spent too…. staggering lack of value.

     

     

    The English game ins in steep decline, so for that reason alone LVG will probably pick up a few trophies. But the football we are seeing from his team will ultimately damage their “brand”.

     

     

    Who wants to get out of bed in Indonesia at 3am to watch that?

    All a matter of taste, I suppose. Each to their own.. I like the beer in BB`s. Mainly, though, I don`t make the City Centre pubs before the game now. I was just surprised re Rangers TV at the Blane Valley.

     

    Goodnight to one and all and here`s hoping for a good outcome tomorrow night. My usual optimism has taken a knock with the absence of the irrepressible Broonie.

  13. Just watched Rocky 2 (in tears). I’d say Rocky’s defeat of Apollo Creed is up there with 67, and Andy Murray in the pantheon of sporting glory.

    Before you go, is the BV a Celtic pub now? when i was over there

     

    it was just a steak pie and housewives place but it was one of my

     

    pitstops when i headed for the Gallowgate.

  17. I do hope it is a dry night for the ole Gazebo gatherers this evening.

     

    I would also appreciate a notable upsurge in positivity ahead of the game from us, the support.

     

    With four out of first five probable engine room starters missing, lets hope some others can grasp their opportunity.

     

    Many of our greatest moments are achieved when we least expect them to.

     

    Hopefully tonight is the making of Ronny.

     

     

    Anyway, heres looking forward to yet another special European evening Gazebo, followed by an magnificent Celtic victory. 1-0 Celtic, Jozo heeder, set play.

  18. Nearly December and cole still hasn’t made his debut yet.

     

     

    Another one in a long list of pointless signings. But suppose it’s a good excuse not to sign a striker in January.

     

     

    Carlton cole will still be like a new signing then.

    Sorry I was away

     

    BV is still not a Celtic pub as such but is welcoming pub to us fans before and after the games

     

     

    As you point out its a good place to go before the Rebs up the gallowgate

  20. Gerryfaethebrig on

    Happy 16th birthday to Dallas Junior hope you get your Celtic win your after, not even going to try and pick a team but hopefully between Scott Allan & Lee Griffirhs for man of the match goal maker v goal taker

  21. Good morning friends and a Big Happy Matchday from a damp, drizzly but mild-ish (for the end of November) East Kilbride.

     

     

    With the unavailability of Scott, Nir, Stefan and Kris it really will be a huge test for us tonight. But we can be heroes. Both on and off the park.

     

     

    Can’t wait!

  22. Right……who’s up for a game tonight?

     

     

    Holding midfielder only…..none of you fancy dan strikers that do nothing except score goals.

     

     

    Only 1 poster required as long as its Murdoch Auld & Hay.

  23. Based on a celestial alignment of the stars and a high tide my horror scope says

     

     

    On the eve of the gathering and an untrustworthy dark precense is near. Beware of the big house falling down.

     

     

    Something is happening I can feel it in my bones.

     

     

    I don’t believe it myself.

     

     

    But that’s me being a typical Pisces

  24. Is Ryan Christie option due at Christmas? If so , and we exercise it, could be like a new signing(as BFDJ says)

  25. Been sitin’ here thinkin’ and I’ve now managed to come up with three alternative scenarios for qualifying.

     

     

    Plan A – win both our remaining games, finish on 8 points and (as we’ll have won both head to heads against Ajax and Fenerbahce) we can’t be caught,

     

    Plan B – beat Ajax and get a high scoring (2-2 or more) in Turkey and we’ll qualify – so long as Molde also beat Fenerbahce in Norway this week. By way of explanation if this week’s games are won by us and Molde 1-0 the table will read as follows –

     

    Molde 10 pts (goal diff of +6 being 10-4)

     

    Celtic 5 points (goal diff of -2 being 7-9)

     

    Fenerbahce 5 points (goal diff of -2 being 4-6)

     

    Ajax 3 points (goal diff -2 being 3-5)

     

     

    PLAN C!

     

    If we only draw tonight, say 0-0 and Molde win, even by just 1 goal the table, with 1 game to go, will then read –

     

    Molde 10 pts (goal diff of +6 being 10-4)

     

    Fenerbahce 5 points (goal diff of -2 being 4-6)

     

    Ajax 4 points (goal diff -2 being 3-4)

     

    Celtic 3 points (goal diff of -3 being 6-9)

     

    Then, a win in our last game puts us ahead of Fenerbahce and we’d qualify so long as Ajax don’t beat Molde…

     

     

    So, 3 chances to qualify – why are we worried? ;-)

     

     

    Come on Celtic. And come on Molde.

     

     

    Enjoy the buildup

    Feck. Well then Ryan arriving injured would be just like a Celtic signing then!

     

     

    Half day today and turbopropping in for the game. Hope I’m not a Jonah, 2 league games and 2 euros this season so far and yet to taste victory

  27. Dark,damp and cold in East Lancs this morning….bit of customer contact before back home in time for kick off hopefully.

     

    Hope is the one thing we can all have and it costs nothing, so let’s feast on it today.

     

    The 90 minutes will take care of itself however I am sure if the crowd are up for it, they can drag a wee bit more out of the guys in Hoops.

     

    Hail! Hail!
