Since July I’ve written about the over-dependence we have on Kris Commons as a creative player. He’s pretty much our only option, and if he’s not fancied, injured, suspended or just off-form, we look like a team full of energy but without a key to open the door.
It may be that Ronny doesn’t figure on having a classic No. 10 in his team, and it’s more than possible that we won’t play one against European heavyweights, but against packed SPFL defences, we need someone who can create space in dangerous areas.
As we mentioned last month, some years ago Celtic reportedly looked at Bosnian international, Semir Stilic, while he was at Lech Poznan. His star faded before a journey through Ukrainian and Turkish football before he returned to Poland with Wisla Krakow 12 months ago on an 18 month contract. Since then he’s been a sensation and has kept Wisla in touch with the top of the table.
He’s refused a new contract offer from Wisla and is subject to a bid from Dinamo Zagreb, thought to be in the region of €250k. He’s likely to be on circa €2k per week. We’ve scouted the player, he’s soon out of contract, going cheap, on low wages, on form and we’re short of what he can give.
This is the kind of player Dinamo Zagreb pick up for buttons and enables them to compete as effectively as they did against Celtic with a fraction of our budget. He has the making of an effective January signing.

I apolgise unreservedly to any retarded seals who may be reading – sorry.
Ashley is calling Kings bluff. Show me the money or I turn the lights off.
King the glib and shameless liar who drove down the share price by asking fans to starve them off money which has also resulted in a cash flow crisis.
The SFA have stood by ( incl our resident on the SFA Board Mr silence ) regarding this and allowing the Fit and Proper Person criteria to be body swerved.
Of course Mr Silence needs the return of the bigots asap — every cloud has a silver lining.
67 Heaven. Kev Jungle does get a bit carried away at times I dont understand posters who seem to get no pleasure out of supporting Celtic what so ever? Why bother its a waste of there time they should find something constructive to do. H.H.
Twitter alive with rumors that………………..
Ashley is going to call in his 3 million loan…..
And shares are to be suspended…………….
Anyone else hearing this

Set in or about An Gorta Mor ? – isn’t that one and the same thing.
——————————————————————————————————————
No. If it was a comedy about the Irish Famine then the jokes would be about the impact of the famine on the Irish population whereas if it is set in Ireland at the time of the famine, it would not. Allo, Allo was set during World War Two as was Dad’s Army. The humour centred around the characters and the background was the second world war an tragic event where is is estimated between 50 and 80 million people died.
==
Nonsense the very idea is offensive in the extreme. The population of Ireland fell by 25% during the years of hunger. Over 1 million Irish died of starvation in a land of plenty, millions emigrated and further thousands died in coffin ships fleeing to the new world to survive. Yet some see no harm in comparing that to Dads army or Allo Allo – FFS.
Perhaps a chorus of the famine song is in order, that is also just a bit of harmless fun isn’t it?
———————————————————————————————————————
So it’s ok to set comedies in the First (Black Adder) and Second World Wars but not the Irish Famine?
=====
What do you not understand? Black adder, dads army etc are not shows about a defenceless peoples misery, fact is most historian now class it as attempted genocide. An English TV company making a comedy about the great hunger – how about a German company making comedy show about the mass murder of Jews during WW2. Why stop there why not a wee comedy show about Rwanda or the Albanian genocide, oh how we laughed.
—————————————————————-
You clearly are unable or unwilling to understand the difference between comedy “about” a period in history and one “set” in a period in history. Do you seriously think that it will contain jokes about the tragic impact the famine had on the vast majority of Ireland’s population.
BT hope all goes well a work today. Know the frustrations of the recovery period. Just not being able to do the things that came easy prior to illness is annoying, but take it easy and have a good day.

The other Clubs in Scotland really do now need to complain to the SFA, in respect of the reputational damage being caused to Scottish Football by this sevco shambles ….. It’s reminiscent of vultures surrounding a carcas…….
If Ashley calls in ins loan…………
Its tattys over the side………………
Now……………. That would be……………….
unfortunate………….
Big Joe. I think it is unlikely there are always plenty of rumours about the deid team. H.H.

Don’t you think there is just a difference in perspectives, values or even what you as an individual accept as decent ?
Both of you have set your stalls out fairly clearly in terms of what you think is, and what should be taboo, as a backdrop for comedy.
Big game for the hoops tonight we badly need the 3 points and Kilmarnock can be a hard place to get them at times but we cant afford in my opinion to allow Aberdeen to get to big a gap. H.H.
Well im off now I have a hospital appointment have a good day Bhoys anf Ghirls. H.H.

Not so sure………………………………
Why is Ashley not chipping in this time……………
Is he in the huff…………………………………………
He might want administration…………………….
Its all so very funny……………………………
I think the Ashley loans were made with a predetermined repayment date. As such,doubtful he can recall them early.
Be nice if he did though.

Notice that Sandy Easdale has given Sevco a £0.5m credit line set against some of the money for Lewis MacLeod. Announced to AIM this morning.

Why didn’t they just use the McLeod money, or do they just instinctively like being in debt ….. I thought the SFA had blocked that money, anyway….?
BT……………….
Theres a book by Dr Charles Clark……. ( on Amazon )

Yes indeed. I don’t think they’ve got the MacLeod money yet.
My last post was addressed to 67Heaven. Posting from my mobile.
In the last ten weeks,TRIFCo have had to borrow £3.5m. Just to pay bills.
Annualised losses of £17m at that rate,which means they are burning more than double what they bring in,and more even than if they sold every season ticket available.
Meanwhile,business and football authorities turn a blind eye.
Ah well…

67heaven,
Agreed, we do need to rely on other clubs to call out Sevco shenanigans and king for fit and proper person.
The other club have seen the benefits of no cheats at the top level St Mirren, Dundee Utd, Kilmarknock, Aberdeen all winning trophies. Aberdeen 2nd top of the league and there t/o is up by 30%. Hearts and Hibs can easily beat them fair and square. Alloa become their bogey team. Yep, what’s not to like.
On the other hand we have Celtic who are the only club impacted ( £10M was the CEO estimate ) desperate for the return of the bigots and the missing money. That’s why their is radio silence on all things Sevco from Lawwell. Forget this baloney about concerned about the fans — if that was the case they wouldn’t be aiding and abetting dawn raids on our fans or arrests in front of their families at glasgow Airport.
If we were using our football budget correctly we would be in the CL each season picking up £30M and no need for Sevco. However as this is being grossly mismanaged by Lawwell he is desperate to have them back to make up the shortfall. Follow the cash.
