Contracts are not optional

392

That whole ‘We don’t do walking away’ without a payoff business looks a little different this morning.  Dave King has told the media Derek Llambias and Barry Leach are ‘demanding’ a payoff.  It would be more likely that they have informed King of the terms of their contracts, which is all they are able to demand.  Under the circumstances, it would be extraordinary if either ‘walked away’ from their contracts.

Contracts of employment are not optional.  Terms have to be honoured, even if the employees’ services are no longer required, as I’m sure Mr Llambias’ solicitor will inform him when he discusses King’s threat to sue him for EGM costs.  This easy-come, easy-go attitude to contracts is, well, shameless.

For what it’s worth, my money is on Llambias and Leach resigning in the hours before the EGM, once they have ensured business is sorted.  This is the scenario King wanted, there’s no point complaining now it’s playing out.

World Autism Day

After their successful work with Downs Syndrome children, the homeless and many disadvantaged groups, next month the Celtic Foundation will embark on work with children with autism.  A pilot project is currently being designed which will work to enhance each child’s wellbeing.

Autism is described in terms of a ‘spectrum’ as it includes people who live independently to those who require very specialised support on a daily basis.  Recent decades have seen enormous improvements in understanding of the condition and on strategies to help, especially in children, which is where this pilot project comes in.

World Autism Day is 2 April and on that day the Foundation is holding its inaugural Golf Day (11 years behind the magnificent CQN Open) at Renfrew Golf Club.  The event is supported by Ryder Cup winner Stephen Gallacher (who will not be playing) and a host of former Celtic players (who will be playing).

It’s a great initiative for the Foundation, reaching out into a new and important area, so if you’re a golfer and will enjoy a day on the course with friends and former players, go here to book.

    Thanks.

     

     

    I haven’t posted them for a couple of years.

     

     

    Believe it or not I enjoy reading them again myself. Keeps me grounded and ever mindful of what those young men endured.

    Just when I was getting ready to head out to the game against St Johnstone I was waylaid by the CQN announcement, just beating the BBC that King has really upset the current board of directors and made an even handed NOMAD shout out he is MADDER than KING and resigned.

     

     

    Who is the script writer for this stuff ……its fantastic and just keeps giving.

     

    Who is the maddest, is it the well established City companies or the convicted tax criminal !

     

     

    Off to gemme.

  4. That little tit from STVco said much to my amusement last night That The War is Over The Requisitioners have won” looks very silly now, in what was a very poor attempt to imitate Brian Dempseys famous quote when Fergus took over

     

     

    I demand to know what the hell is a requisitioner is? Anybody know? sounds very masonic & hunnish to me

    ——–

     

     

    With you there.

     

     

    Without a word of a fib, from day 1, both me and Wee BGFC have loved 100% –

     

     

    – Big George (obviously)

     

    – Efe

     

    – Stefan

     

    – Ronny

     

    – John Collins (and I loved him first time round too)

     

    – Marc CrowsArse

     

    – Pat McCourt!!!!

     

     

    Would never hear a bad word against them:-)

     

     

    I also think Stuart Slater was a cracking wee player, and had complete faith in Mogga – perhaps I’m just not overly critical :-))

  7. Running dudes… the average lifespan of most current shoes on the market is about 500 miles if you’re running on tarmac. After that the cushioning starts to deteriorate and makes you more prone to injury.

     

     

    Get yourself a proper fitting at one of the specialist running shops. Makes some difference.

     

    I’m currently at about 25 miles a week and hoping to ramp it up to about 40 over Spring.

    I love Efe. Always got more time for someone who plays out from the back.

     

     

    That said, he isn’t a right back, a left back, and definitely not a centre mid as some have suggested(where he’ll get less time on the ball). Still he does what he is asked to do, no complaints, doesn’t let the crowd get to him, just gets on with it.

  11. Árd Macha,

     

    You never said a truer word. I had the tour, through the last remaining H Block (where Billy Wright was shot), plus the “Hospital”, stood in the the cell where Bobby died etc. It was an absolute harrowing experience. What those young men (who include CQN’s Big Bones and macanbheatha) endured can never be forgotten. They have my total and absolute respect, as have you mo chara, for helping to keep the memories alive.

    Can’t comment on Clyde since I don’t get it. In any sense. Best comment(s) from me were from Kenny “no shit, Sherlock!” McDowall who said, more than once, “This won’t be fixed overnight”.

  18. Right,

     

     

    Have my new New Balance’s on and time to head!

     

     

    Enjoy the ride.

    The less comment on the Scottish media re the Nomadless Ones, the better.

     

     

    It means that there is nothing positive to regurgitate for hours on end.
