Lots of speculation over the weekend that we’ll see Craig Gordon in goal for Scotland and Fraser Forster in for England tomorrow night. I’m claiming the two of them as ‘ours’. Big Fraser was a great Celtic goalkeeper and professional. He deserves one last curtain call on the pitch that made him.
I see Dick Advocaat completed his work with Serbia in less than half a season after their home defeat by Denmark on Friday and is now available for employment elsewhere. The Serbs have carried some hurt after Denmark made-off with Euro 92, when one of Europe’s great teams were denied their stage by civil war. The Danes were famously on the beach after being eliminated from the qualifying rounds by Yugoslavia before war in the Balkans opened the door for them to compete in, and win the tournament.
The last thing Serbian football fans deserved was to have Advocaat lead them. The Dutchman left us with so many great memories.
Do you have Craig Whyte holed up in a safe house, as the formerly advertised Motherwell-born billionaire remains at large after a warrant was issued for his arrest on Friday? If not, he’s perhaps gone feral and living in an outbuilding.
Check your shed, look behind the bins. It might be an idea to leave some food out for him. He may be disguised, there is no guarantee he’ll be wearing his Celtic scarf and Burton’s apparel, so stay alert.

Weeminger. Neil’s last season he had a budget of -10m Ronny had a budget of about -8m. Not a lot of money will beat that

Bob-as you know,grateful thanks and I still owe you-is my all-time hero.
Love the guy to bits.
I’ve just put Maggie Reilly’s latest album onto my iTunes.
Doubt it’s widely available. Shame,as it is really very good.
Interested?

I’ve laid out my figures above, which I think are plausible. He’ll be close to £30M in before he even sees Europe. It’s not even about the initial investment, it’s about the year on year losses. £8-10M initial spend will absolutely not guarantee CL football anyway, given the qualification process.
So once again, losses for the possibility of Europe vs running the club properly for a near guaranteed multi-million proud profit every single year.
winning captains – did you get mine OK?

Winning Captains,
just bought a couple raffle tickets, but got the following message:
“Order Status
ORDER NUMBER: CQN960 Payment has been made for this order but it has not successfully recorded onto our system. Stock levels will need to be adjusted manually and payment manually checked with Stripe.”
Im assuming from the text, all is ok and its more of an internal issue for you guys, rather than any issue with my payment?
Apologies if you have posted previously to any other posters who may have experienced the same as me, but Ive only read this page so far!
HAIL! HAIL!

Just to confirm your payment is fully registered on all systems.
Ignore the e-mail
Just bought a couple of raffle tickets using the same debit card that gets declined when I try to buy the feckin’ book.
I give up.
Mibbe Santa will surprise me.

Again to confirm, your order is visible on all systems so ignore the e-mail.
We are trying to find out why these messages go out automatically when some make payment.
It may be that one part of the surecheck system does not check through — such as a postcode check — and an automatic message goes out.
By all means check by posting or or checking with myself or winning captains by e-mail
david@cqnmagazine.com or editor@cqnmagazine.com
However, the system does appear to be working properly but we will sort out the e-mail glitch.

It’s quite straight forward.
I’m a “my glass is half full chap.
You appear to be a “my glass is half empty” chap.
I enjoy drinking what is in the glass, you enjoy carping about what is not.
We all have our world views and they must keep us happy. Why would we hold on to them otherwise?

Your order is there at 11:35
Two tickets at £10 with e-mail address that is a blueyonder address?
“You appear to be a “my glass is half empty” chap.”
And the winner of the award for understatement of the millennium goes to……drum roll…..Auldheid.
“is a blueyonder address?”
Oh no doubt.
Hun ;p

Words fail me.
Are these people ( and I use the word loosely)for real?
——
They surely are – desperate to try and convince themselves that their own lies are truth.
Auldheid:
If I’d paid for a pint of best and got a half pint of slops for my money… I’d be whingeing too.

That’s me!

I received the same message as the others. I assume then that my order for tickets was successful. Thanks to all the team for this initiative.
What’s got the FF perma-ragers ragin’ this time?
Can they still not realise that, regardless of anything connected to the ongoing legal investigation that we will not talk about in any way, they didn’t pay their tax bill, went into admin, failed to get away with it on the cheap and then went into liquidation? Can they not see that rules were applied to them? Can they not grasp that they were given the most generous interpretation of the laws that the rest of Scottish football could tolerate?
The quote above from the one that wants every team in Scotland to pay them a (tribute) tax is indicative of their mindset before, during and after the fact.
Philbhoy,
I forgive ye neebs;)
new article posted.
Sidney Tim,
Mike Ashley is owed £160 million by Newcastle.He has worldwide exposure of his brands through the EPL.He now puts nothing into the team.He is well prepared for them to flounder on in the EPL for as long as possible.Sources say,he knows nothing of football.Only business to him.The Newcastle fans detest him.
Its only our slobbering SMSM that are clinging onto the dream,that one day he will sell Newcastle,and then buy the hun outright.Why would he?.
At the moment he has everything he could possibly want from the hun,without laying out one penny of his money.Loans have to be repaid somehow.His shares can be sold.
You say he would only need to spend small money to overtake Celtic.You are going on one seasons spending.You forget Celtic have a massive infrastructure already in place.
As someone said earlier,why would MA spend a fortune on a bauble.He has much wider intentions towards the future.Stop worrying.It will never happen.
