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.

    This was also mentioned yesterday, are you viewing CQN on a desktop, tablet or smart phone?

     

     

    I assume it is a desktop as we have one ad trailing there which should appear once only in every 24 hours. If you are seeing this more can you let me know?

     

     

    It popped up on my desktop on the first day but haven’t seen it since.

     

     

    Few wee articles today on http://www.cqnmagazine.com including one on the Liverpool defender we’re interested in and also the ex-Liverpool defender who we have been scouting lots and lots…

    It is a strange one.History is a story re Marchisio suffering an injury at training ( media claiming serious / out for 7 / 8 months.)That was followed by the death threats and assorted Rube suits and anonymous ex and current Rube players. queing up to put the boot into Conte.Media then reported that the injury wasn’t serious and that they had been fed a line from a source.Just another scene from the sordid farce that is Italian football.

    I don’t know about you lot but I’m really enjoying this season- seeing RD emerge, good football, some decent shows in European games, the league within our grasp and being challenged by a club which is run competently and abides by rules and I don’t know why, but I’m confident about the triple – it must be the RD factor.

     

     

    Hope next year is like this !

    South of Tunis

     

     

    I watched Italia on Saturday night making extremely heavy weather of a 2-2 draw at Bulgaria

     

     

    I thought it was amusing on two counts

     

     

    The Slovenian referee Skomina have them the 40/60 decisions, never mind the 50/50s. Despite this, he managed to show 3 yellow cards to Italians late on for relatively trivial offences (immobile for simulation). The thing was there were poor challenges in the first half going unpenalised!!

     

     

    The other thing was that I have never seen an Italian team so keen for a match to be referred at a high tempo eg hurrying up substitutions and having players treated off the field etc

     

     

    The fact they trailed 2-1 from the 17th minute until the 83rd may have had something to do with it ha ha

     

     

    As always an utterly horrible team to watch and as always making a hard job out an easy one in terms of qualification

    Congratulations and Well Done to all the Zip Flyers (is that what it’s called? Yes, I think it is).

     

     

    An Tearmann,

     

     

    I see you are still working for the Termon Tourist Board.

     

     

    Ards is another place worth a visit from the Faithful. Very peaceful spot.

     

     

    Of course, there is Glenveigh and across the Errigal Road, into Dunlewy.

     

     

    THen and only then, are you heading into the heart of Donegal, reserved for the more deserving and money toting visitor; especially those still awash with sponsorship cash!!!

    It must be near Easter, Timmy does a lot of ducking and diving at this time of year.

    I didn’ t see it.Fitba media suggested that the unusual haste was down to 2 things – embarassment at playing so poorly against a crap Bulgaria / the likelihood of losing to Croatia making 3 pts v Bulgaria a must.

    You make a valid point bout JG being slow. However, to suggest we went for Daly, no way. He’s slower than JG.

     

     

    Oh and JG a better all round Player than Daly.

     

     

    Keep the Faith!

    Stoop? They should be named and shamed, any one who does that, and there pictures in the newspapers, ignoring it only takes us back, every opportunity no matter who it is should be made public, no more sweeping it under the carpet, well as far as I’m concerned.

    16:03 on 30 March, 2015Paul67,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.

     

     

    a mate was talking to one of the new board at Poundland at the weekend,he all but said,in order to move forward ,they need to fold the current operation..

    I seriously can’t believe you took the bait on that one mate.

     

    This guy is just being a polite nuisance. Ignore him.

    An Tearmann,

     

     

    I still have the beautiful and rare photos you sent me.

     

     

     

    Whenever everyone is finished playing with the new boy, will you please leave him back where you found him.

     

    He is succeeding in bringing out the worst in some of us and as a wind up guy, his attempts are beyond cringeworthy.

  24. twentyfirstofmaynineteenseventynine on

    Billbears more than outstayed his welcome, time for him to sleek back to the undergrowth and face reality. No place for his ramblings on here, theres plenty of his own sites for him to engage his fantasies. Goodbye you sad wee guy, enjoy watching ten in a row

  25. Bada Bing,

     

     

    I DO hope it’s an administration. They’ll have to pay their creditors then. Given that people like Murray, who was on the oldco board, are now running things; they might opt for another liquidation. A nonsense, of course, since that cannot happen again but they play to their own rules, with the tacit complicity of the Scottish Establishment. I presume so many in Scotland aid and abet them because they are afraid they (or a family member) will suffer if they speak the truth.
