Dave King’s self-flagellation

Self-flagellation:

SPFL: “Rather than attempt to communicate through the media, it is far more appropriate that any substantive issues are presented to the SPFL board for careful and detailed consideration, based on a sound legal analysis of the facts.”

Translated: Whip.

SPFL: “To date, there has been no such representations to the SPFL board and it notes Mr King’s statement of 30 May.

Translated: Whip.

SPFL: “In its statement of 29 May, Rangers FC claimed “a business relationship”, existed between the SPFL chairman and minority shareholders in a SPFL club, despite no evidence of such a relationship being presented. There is no mention of the previously claimed “business relationship” in the 30 May statement.

Translated: Whip.

SPFL: “In the 30 May statement the central allegation has now become that “there was non-disclosure of the conflict that immediately arose when the SPFL chairman accepted” his appointment as a non-executive director of International News & Media PLC (“IN&M plc”). As with the 29 May statement, no detail was provided to support this allegation.

SPFL: “Within the space of about 24 hours two different and very public allegations have been made against the SPFL chairman without, in either case, an approach first being made to the SPFL with concerns or seeking clarification.”

Translated: Whip.

To you or me this would be embarrassing.  The SPFL know the rules.  In fact, they wrote the rules, so if you are going to go off like a paranoid loon, know your territory, get it right, be consistent, remember what you wrote yesterday before launching into another issue today.

The days when the likes of Jim Farry (or the many who followed him) ran Scottish football are over.  There are professionals in place now.  Murdoch MacLennan has been a senior executive of large companies for decades.  He was a member of the Commission on Scottish Devolution, is an Honorary Professor at the Glasgow University Business School.

Unlike Dave King, he has no criminal convictions.

I would also like to point out some of the reporting on this:

“Record Sport broke the story Doncaster would be standing by MacLennan, despite news emerging of the 69-year-old’s links with Desmond and fellow shareholder Denis O’Brien.”

Ask yourself this: on what basis could the SPFL act against Murdoch MacLennan?  It would be more accurate to say “Neil Doncaster and others on the SPFL board have no choice but to stand by MacLennan as no evidence of wrong-doing whatsoever has been presented.”

And, no evidence of links with Dermot Desmond or Denis O’Brien have been provided.  There are no such links, only innuendo.   King may as well have said, “They go to the same synagogue” [they don’t, of course].

Stay classy, Dave.  I’m sure outbursts like this are a sign that your troubles are all under control, but stop this self-flagellation nonsense.

Brogan Rogan is going to Malawi this month to support the Celtic FC Foundation’s work with Mary’s Meals.  You can read a bit about what he is doing here, and support the project.

You can also contribute by buying one of these polos or Tshirts, all proceeds go to the Foundation Malawi Appeal:

Polos are £19:67 and T shirts are £12.99 or £30 for one of each. Postage is £2.80.  Email Jim at jjoe88@hotmail.co.uk to buy (update: only the green T is still available).

    Emerald Bee, thoughts and prayers for your friend’s granddaughter. HH from a Busby Bhoy. See you after the close season.

    I holidayed in Lake Garda in 2005 when the Hun played Inter in the closed door game.

     

    We flew home the day after the game and there were Hun supporters, obviously official ones, and Graham Spiers on the same flight.

     

    The abuse he took was criminal to the point that my wife was terrified that I’d get arrested defending him.

     

    Real prawn salad brigade scum.

     

    I get that he watches what he says but think he has still called them out more than most.

    Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    So sad to hear of the passing of young Vanessa, and what a

     

    heartfelt post from BRTH which puts a lot of the banal stuff

     

    we all moan about on here into perspective.

     

    I remember well the fundraising efforts on here and elsewhere

     

    to try and get the young lass her treatment and it galvanised

     

    the blog like it always does when other human beings need our

     

    help.

     

    That in itself is a great testament to the wonderful and caring

     

    Celtic support.

     

    RIP VANESSA.

    I realize I am not the most objective observer, but is anyone else getting thoroughly disgruntled with the continual BBC articles and interviews from ex Rangers and Sevco players, providing headlines supporting their new inexperienced manager.

     

    McCulloch, Advocaat, McAllister. Fergushun, and numerous others extol the virtues of a strong Hun challenge to the Champions.

     

    Pleas to make investment in playing staff, presumably coming from the the Glib and Shameless Liar’s quest to find King Solomon’s mines.

     

    Pressure on clubs to let player X to fulfill his lifelong wish to be a second or third rate Sevco player.

     

    Fortunately I don’t see the Central Scotland MSM, but I do read the BBC Scotland sports page to find news about Celtic. It looks like there’s only one team in Scotland.

     

    If BBC Scotland TV reporting is as one sided then any qualms I had about not paying my license fee in the past have been calmed.

     

    Oh. Any news on Eddie the Bolt?

    Almore and I had the same patch, collecting wi our buckets for the Kano Foundation, before a Celtic v Killie game last season. Graeme Speirs chatted to Al and I about Kano Foundation and how he loves their work. He then put a generous donation in Almore’s bucket. I blame the Dublin patter. ??

    I wasn’t condemning him for his stance,far from it. I was trying to explain it.

     

     

    IMO,he went much further than almost everyone up here,and suffered for doing his job.

     

     

    And,as I said,was disgracefully stabbed in the back by his so-called colleagues.

     

     

    No,you’ll rarely hear me condemn Graham Spiers. He has shown more courage than all his colleagues put together.

    I hated Fleetwood Mac when they all got addicted to cocaine and champagne. They were miles better with Peter Green and on LSD and Marijuana and the blues.

    Having read the Lying King’s nonsense this week it saddens me to my heart the state that Scottish journalism is in. A convicted fraudster is being allowed to control the Scottish media. There are now few journalists left worth speaking of in Scotland apart from Kevin McK. Bigotry and hatred is being encouraged on a daily basis. Sadly this is why many feared voting for Independence.

    I went to School with the cousins of Mark Guidi. They are all nephews of Jack McGinn. Guidi really annoys me. He should be the rebel journalist. Too feart though, and I cannae condemn him for protecting his safety in Bonnie Bigoted Scotland.

    Sad news from BRTH now that I have read back.

     

    It’s unnatural for a parent to bury a child and I can’t imagine the heartache.

     

    I pray Vanessa is freed from her pain and that her parents can find peace from their sorrow.

    What is happening across the road and can only be matched at paradise when a meaningful game is happening, ie when a challenging team arrives …is passion. And at Celtic park it can’t be beat when it matters …but there can be improvements with the fans, which motivates the players and can only be helpful if implemented through education

    Are you serious? Have you seen how anti SNP/ Anti-Indepence the BBC Scotland/STV are? Have you ever read the Scotsman or the Herald? They feckin deplore the idea of real Scots wanting to run their own country.

     

    Sorry mate but it amazes me how we all know how the SMSM have an anti Celtic / Pro Sevco agenda but quite willing to take them astheir word with their pro Unionist claptrap. Have you never seen the Unionst plants on Question Time when they’re in Scotland?

    Re razorlight

     

    Good band I got into after watching their performance at live 8 on dvd.

     

    Went to see Richard Ashcroft in Manchester the following year without checking the support bands. Absolutely buzzing when Razorlight walked onto stage.

     

    Seen them play a great gig in Melbourne too where halfway through Johnny climbed cat like from the stage onto a balcony along the barrier wall and jumped down at the other side. The petrified looks from the security people told me it wasn’t part of the rehearsal’s :))))

     

     

     

    Listening to my iPod on random this week and this came on, hadn’t listened to them in ages…

    I rest my case,mate. It’s one of those subjects where people largely have a closed mind. Thus,imo,a waste of time discussing it as no-one will ever win.

  38. Mea Culpa on

    I am so heartily sick of the Catholic Church these days.

     

    I mean, why do these priests and bishops insist on bringing religion into the Church?

     

    Don’t they know that Baptisms, First Communions, Confirmation, Weddings, Funerals, Graduation Masses etc… are in fact just opportunities for us all to get dressed in our best togs and get some nice family photos?

  41. Mea Culpa on

    It’s high time the Church started taking back the church as a sacred place. Hey, if you don’t believe, why are you there?

     

    If you are not seeking God, what are you there for?

     

     

    There’s more reverence in the drive through at Maccas.
