I may have slightly embellished our chief exec with my headline but that’s about the measure of Peter Lawwell’s message this afternoon. He told the BBC, “We don’t rely on any other club. We are in a decent position, we’re very strong.
“We have a stand-alone strategy, a stand-alone financial plan and a robustness hopefully that will take us through that.
“Times are pretty tough. I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to talk about any individual club, these things are hypothetical at the moment.
“I think we’ve a view, a very strong view on certain circumstances but we’ll only share that at the right time.”
He said, contemplating a plate of ice cream and jelly after lunch. He really should order 60,000 small tubs of both for our last home game.
Thanks and congratulations to everyone who participated in the CQN Music Quiz in aid of the Vanessa Riddle Appeal on Saturday night. The room was packed, not for the first time at a CQN Quiz, extra seats had to be commandeered from elsewhere, and a great night was had by all.
£492.53 was raised on the night on top of £800 from the purchase of online tickets and donations. Special thanks to Frank O’Hagan – new album available here – who provided musical entertainment at the end of the quiz. Thanks also to the Stornoway Celts, who provided prizes, as well as Celticrollercoaster and Tony Warrington, for selling badges and CQN Magazines respectively to aid funds.
The night would not have happened without the enormous preparation and work by Taggsybhoy, aided on the night by Mrs Taggsybhoy and young Joe – thank you. This evening Taggsybhoy will put a signed Celtic top donated by Penfold onto eBay to bring the week’s efforts to a close. I’ll let you know when it’s live.

On the PL angle we will have to disagree.
180 degree turn not a 360 degree one.
Not sure why the change.
10-1 and the TFOD Mk2 would get in anyway even if we voted against.
PL / Irish Raj not wanting to be seen as acting alone?
Surely the SSp deal does not come before SPL rules?
The TFOD imploding is only the start.
Don’t know where it will end.
I fear it could get very nasty.
Who will take the flak?
Admin – CVA = Very unlikely.
Admin – NewCo / PrePack = Interesting.
Admin – Liquidation / Competing successor clubs = Very interesting.
The TFOD are a £50mill business without SDM’s unique business methods.
Consequently there has to be a waiting list of people ready to give it a go.
Main thing is that they smell business failure and don’t want to spend money they don’t have to.
Parachute into the SPL for any NewCo is self defeating.
Make the return to easy and I feel a lot of their support will drift away.
No history, being used to sell a TV deal, bottom feeder running the show.
Not a great place to be in and a lot of their support know it.
Much better for us / the SPL / them to start at the bottom or very close to the bottom and work their way up. It would allow them to develop, it would allow the SPL to fish for new support and it would keep it real.
If SSp need extra games – better to re-jig the Glasgow Cup and give the gate money to charity.
Anything else would reult in the SPL letting in the HG’s to play.
May be OK on the TV but not sport.
Finally … Join the dots!
SDM making some noises.
MIH in charge of the tax case.
Talk of a cut price settlement.
CW being shredded in some of the papers.
Talk of the takeover being “illegal”.
TFOD wet dream or SDM busting a gut to get a result?
My thoughts – we live in interesting times and SDM will do anything to try and sort this out.
I wonder if his sister has any brown envelopes left over from her TFOD Stationery contract?
Tanks crunching up the Marble Stairs..
Let The Generation Of Domination Begin!
THIS IS NOT THE END THIS IS THE BEGINNING
of the end
This is the day , this is the day , that the Lord has made ,that the Lord has made . We will rejoice , we will rejoice !
Really long time lurker but had to join in today
