Commons and football intelligence

1244

Kris Commons return to the Celtic team on Sunday was enormously welcome, even if it didn’t produce his first goal of the season.  Kris has had a wretched season after arriving with a bang from Derby County in January last year.

He is not the most athletic or skilful player in the team but he has an abundance of football intelligence, well in excess of his contemporaries.  The cross-field pass for the second goal against St Johnstone was a perfect example.  Celtic players were rushing forward on a break, while defenders were flooding back.  To the annoyance of many sitting around me, Kris slowed things down, surveyed the field and switched play to Ki on the opposite wing.

This has been a great and memorable season for Celtic but there remains plenty to do.  An hour or so watching Kris Commons is enough to demonstrate the way forward.

    Let me get this straight then

     

     

    Celtic £40,337 – tickets

     

    Dunfermine £83,370.13 – tickets

     

    Dundee United £65,981.49 – tickets

     

    Inverness £39,805 – tickets

     

    Hearts £800,000 – Lee Wallace a player they won a game against Celtic by having on their payroll

     

     

     

    Governing bodies

     

    SFA £11,089.04

     

    SPL £22,500

     

    SFL £3,480

     

     

    Any idea what this was for?

     

     

    International

     

    AS St Etienne £252,212.39 – Bocanegra

     

    Arsenal £136,560.00 – Bartley

     

    Chelsea £238,345.43 – ??????????

    SK Rapid Vienna £1,011,763.44 – Jelavic

     

    Palermo £205,513.04 – Goian

     

     

    Aside from the monies owed to other Scottish clubs, a fair chunk of their team for the last two seasons is now there in black and white showing how they gained an advantage over Celtic and other Scottish clubs and still we are patronized with the we need them nonsense.

     

     

    Shoddy

    BBC National News has rankers combined debt at a whopping 134 Million!

     

     

    This includes the huge sum of 92 Million belonging to each an every citizen

     

    of the UK!

     

     

    When will this aspect,the immorality of consciously ripping off the public

     

    purse, especially during this time of austerity, begin to be highlighted

     

    by our esteemed Journalists?????

     

     

    A quick point to any lurking (hurting) rankers fans….Your feeble attempts at

     

    reassurance concerning your clubs “asset sales”, “hybrid liquidation”,

     

    and the hilarious “buying the history”

     

     

    Liquidation=Death….No if’s or buts.

  5. traditionalist88 on

    from wiki:

     

    A going concern is a business that functions without the threat of liquidation for the foreseeable future, usually regarded as at least within 12 months.

     

     

    The ‘going concern’ concept directs accountants to prepare financial statements on the assumption that the business is not about to go broke or be liquidated (i.e. where the business closes and sells all the assets for whatever price they can get.

     

    So, unless there is significant evidence to the contrary, accountants will base their valuations and their reporting of financial data on the assumption that the business will remain in existence for an indefinite period.

     

     

    An indefinite period means the foreseeable future or long enough for the business to meet its objectives and to fulfill its commitments. It is important to note that the ‘going concern’ concept does not imply or guarantee that the business is profitable and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

     

     

    So, the ‘going concern’ concept assumes that the business will remain in existence long enough for all the assets of the business to be fully utilized.

    rangers debt tops £134m

     

     

    aye and counting

     

     

    tick tock

     

     

    ******

     

    £134m, you say!

     

     

    That Craig Whyte is some boy to have done that much damage in 12 months.

     

     

    IF and/or When they come out of this still alive, then people will realise the power and influence of Freemasonry.

     

     

    There is no reason in justice that they should face anything other than annihilation, with, perhaps, criminal proceedings.

     

     

    If the second contracts/letters of (bad)intent are proved, then nothing short of expulsion from organised football for at least ten years is the minimum that should happen.

     

     

    We will see then how far their influence reaches,i.e., UEFA/FIFA.

     

     

    Not holding my breath on that one.

  12. So McGregor, Davis and Whittaker were “heroes” for agreeing to get by on £5k a week for a couple of months to keep the huns alive?

     

     

    Meanwhile, among the unsecured creditors who have to whistle for their money, is Bhutta’s Newsagents, 142 Copland Road, who are owed £567.45.

     

     

    Get this vile institution closed now.

  13. seventyxseven 'gelee et glace' on

    Manchester City are owed £328,481,71

     

     

    Surely they did more damage than that.

  14. Snake Plissken on

    Graham Spiers ‏ @GrahamSpiers Close

     

    In the space of 10 minutes Rangers’ ultimate debt has leapt to an estimated £143m, as declared by @paullewismoney, the BBC MoneyBox expert.

     

     

     

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  15. Pine Barrens on

    Does this Debt figures release confirm the FTT results are in?

     

     

    And they lost :-)

  16. I’ve just read the foi love letters between salmond and thems….boak!

     

     

    Thank feck I have never wasted a vote on that man’s party.

     

     

    Love letters to myth and baldy.

     

     

    Begging Hmrc to let thems off with stealing from taxpayers.

     

     

    Legislating to criminalize us ( the victims ) instead of tackling thems bigotry.

     

     

    Being a smarmbag.

  17. Administrators tried to recruit Midas. Unfortunately only his younger inexperienced brother was available and everything he touched turned to Craig Whyte.

  18. The horrible lot don`t do walking away? I think they should be running! That debt figure is embarrassing!

  19. Will the revelation of the true extent of the debt make less likely any sleight of hand to get them out of their mess? Is this statement the equivalent of the last rites for them?

     

     

    Or is Murdo Fraser (with a whole host of people whose names would still be names of you reversed them) going to step in and carry them through?

  20. Jim white positive news for Rangers fans……uh! You can forget liquidation uh!

  21. Listening to Second Coming by the Roses. The song Daybreak cranked up full blast so that face cheeks are flapping from the sound waves…somebody told me that they performed that tune in Atlanta, Georgia.

     

     

    With the line “Black bones are the original bones”…woo…that would have been some gig!

     

     

    “We’ve come to sing this song in yer city.

     

    This ones for the dreamers…for the dreamers.”

     

     

    Like the Wolfetones singing Protestant Men in Larkhall.

  22. …aw not more heroes……

     

     

    I can just see McGregory, Naisy and Whittakery…parading around the centre circle to the rhythmn of the Argyle n’ Heellander Confusiliers….

     

     

    Never mind the quality, feel the Dignity!

  23. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!!..Truth and Justice will always prevail on

    Accounts for 30 June 2011 still in draft …….. Disgraceful …, but typical

    Anyone know what kind of business SHRED_IT are ?

     

     

    jc2 : exactly what is says on the tin (apologies if your question was rhetorical)

     

    They come to your business ( industrial shredder in their van) and shred confidential documentss on the spot.

     

    That way you dont need to send a member of staff off site to witness the process.

     

     

    I am surprised they are only owed £444
