Celtic fans get stuck into our reason for being, nomad moot

765

Congratulations to The Kano Foundation for their magnificent fifth annual charity dinner on Saturday.  The Kano story is beyond incredible and a credit to those who call ourselves Celtic fans – whether you are involved with them or not.

Well done also to everyone who participated in the Celtic Foundation Zip Slide across Celtic Park on Saturday, in aid of children’s’ charities.  It was exhilarating and is sure to be repeated.  A weekend without Celtic and hundreds of Celtic fans get stuck into our reason for being.

They can blame the last guys for the lack of commercial revenue streams, or for paying incompetent coaches too much money.  They can even blame them for over-ambition when it came to funding the playing squad, but for all of its short corporate life, Rangers International PLC’s previous board members have been able to produce accounts on time and all received approval from authorised nominated advisers.

If the new board members are unable to deliver a nominated adviser, blaming the old board, as one newspaper tried today: “largely because of the scorched earth policy implemented by the previous board in the last days of the Mike Ashley empire – they must do so before the City shuts down for the Easter holiday”, would be both dishonest and a very worrying (for some) departure from a company which seeks to build its corporate reputation.

This entire question should be moot.  Mike Ashely didn’t need to be on the newco board to exert the control he needed with an 8% share and neither would Dave King.  King could easily take a back seat and appoint trusted men of stature who would breeze the nomad requirements.  We can only speculate as to why King NEEDS to be on the board, and don’t count on anyone who can get close enough to King, or his PR, asking this question.  The entire uncertainty is an unnecessary nonsense.

    Give BB a wee bit of credit.We had paid hacks spouting the same guff in the rags.

     

    2-1 up against Cowdenbeath,at home,with 7 mins left.

     

    The rest of Europe will be quaking,never mind the SPL.

    I don’t mind engaging with the monkeys if they have anything intelligent to say, but this latest hun although saying he wants to talk football is just spouting all the rubbish we know is their lot, kafflick skools, calling Ronny dial up and getting a bit in about Irish….

    is it Jim Traynor of PR5(4) who is doing The cheats publicity?

     

     

    or is he just doing the kack in glitter publicity of the convicted tax cheat and money launderer and ex castlemilk resident Dave king?

    Primitives evolved .. Their mindsets still stuck in the 1690’s ..

     

     

    It’s a disservice to Monkeys.

    You used the hun word there, apparently sectarian and very offensive towards our used to be Glasgow rivals. Theyre getting very sensitive under this new regime of theirs

    Sorry for intruding on your conversation but can I take it you have emigrated / retired out to Spain?

     

     

    The reason I am asking is my mum and dad have sold their house in London to retire in Ireland but got a few more ££ than they had hoped.

     

     

    I suggested they get a place somewhere sunny all year around to avoid the depths of a Donegal winter.

     

     

    But its so left field from anything they or I would know I think they are going to let the fear / unknown factor scare them off – so a trustworthy insider information could be really helpful..

    Feeling lonely? No one to talk to? Here’s a thought, log on to CQN and tell them you support deidco, pretty soon the whole blog will be talking to you, works every time!

     

     

    No its no me guys I’m not billy bear, but really, do yourselves a favour…

  9. South Of Tunis on

    A moan.

     

    I understand the need to make money – but

     

    Pop ups and ads are becoming a real bore on CQN things – that bore becomes a hassle when The Italian blog polis block the site because it encourages gambling..

    My mum and sisters like a good walk in July, along with my good lady wife who i met at a shindig some time ago

    Any updates on the Antonio Conte threats? On the highlights programme over here last night(itv4) they were paint a dark picture.

    Can we keep him? Guys please, can we keep him, please, please, please, it’s so cute with the wee ‘five-stars’ after his name and that, please?

    Mon the hoops,

     

     

    Ok. So long as you don’t feed him after dark and keep him away from water. :)

  14. ‘The team really looked the part for the last ten minutes on Saturday’.

     

    Well done.

     

    It’s March 30 and the season began last August.

  15. If the pop ups are a pain in the @rse for you google adblock and your prayers will be answered.

    A star for every chairman in Sevco’s short and hilarious history.

     

     

    But I think this guy is one of these multiple-poster characters, who is simply bored.

  19. South Of Tunis on

    an tearmann.

     

     

    He was threatened on line / by mail and by things written on a wall re his home..Perpetrators assumed to be Juve Ultras.Plod are investigating.

     

     

    A very strange affair which includes a very big cheese Rube suit accusing Conte of over training ( and by implication – injuring ) players when he was Manager of Rube..

     

     

    Conte is renowned for the intensity of his approach – a loquacious combative man – saw him being interviewed on Friday night – visibly aged / looked and sounded like a broken man.

  20. International football is generally boring.

     

    Is it because i feel disenfranchised from my own country’s team?

     

    The only time way it has any impact on me is worrying about Celtic players being injured in these fixtures.

     

     

    Young Henderson going on loan for remainder of this season is a decent idea.

     

    You only gain experience by playing in competitive matches.

  21. EWO

     

     

    If I can help in any way, just let me know.

     

    I wish I had someone who could have helped me when I first came here, but we got there, 7 years in June.

     

    Things are desperate here, no work, hence property is dirt cheap, an English bloke was trying to sell his cave for about 5 years, started off over 100K, ended up taking 9K cash.

     

     

    There are plenty that are ready to move into for way less than 40K, less than 30K of your brit pounds, they are cheaper without land.

     

     

    Mail me if you need any info

    THEY have a history of sensitivity and victim hood.

     

    It has not been unknown for some of THEM to get up at four or five in the morning and travel many mile simply to have THEMSELVES provoked.

  23. Happy birthday Fourgreenfields.a good and active Celtic mhan

     

     

    hope you have a great time in Dortmund with your Lad

  25. Paul67,

     

     

    Most interesting item about Sevco’s (?)current board and their modus operandi. The implications (to me, at least) suggest that the writing is on the wall and that wall is about to come atumbling down.
