Declare the 9

873

I remember 1997 when another nine-in-a-row was about to be won.  We knew it was coming, we knew it would be difficult and we needed to get through the period.  I avoided all news coverage and football chat for over 24 hours that May, only to find out later that Motherwell’s Owen Coyle upset plans and the title had yet to be won.  I just wanted it over with, the delay was not helpful.

We are in the same situation now, there is not the remotest doubt the Premiership will be called and Celtic will be declared champions.  No one’s interest is served by further postponing the inevitable; it would only leave the SPFL in the spotlight longer than necessary.

Only box ticking exercises remain and today’s meeting between Premiership clubs and the SPFL should be the last.  Scottish football has more important things to worry about, it is in significant peril and needs to move energies on immediately.  Declare the 9.

  4. MM – I know what you are saying about some of our players in the past, I suppose that’s part of being a successful club you get the ones that don’t work out, but one things for sure when they pull on our beloved hoops they get our full support.

    Those 5 could be from ONCE UPON A TIME IN PARADISE.

     

     

    They all look well dressed.They must have been earning.

    SPAM

     

     

    Specially Prepared American Meat.

     

    or SPAM but the Scottish version was a strange concoction which was

     

    dry and very thinly cut, but mostly tasty and very cheap.

     

    And of course if any one had a a serious cut or skin disorder they put

     

    on a pink lint covering which looked like the SPAM.

     

    I’m havering now but maybe somebody will know what i’m on about.

     

    H.H Mick

  14. melbourne mick

     

     

    Did you get SPAM at the local butchers Mick?

     

    Or was that the more grand ‘luncheon meat’?

     

    Course you could always by a tin at the store

     

    Thick sliced, you’re looking at your spam fritters right there.

     

    A bone fide Scottish delicacy to this day

    First time I see my friend after lockdown I will ask her if she has visited FRED. It’s a possibility as we live near Penrith in Cumbria which is a day trip away from you.

     

     

    I see that FRED is a charity and you have a website with gallery of your residents and details of how to sponsor a donkey or just make a donation.

     

     

    Perhaps you should offer naming rights to CQNers for sponsorship or donation.

     

     

    My donation is on its way.

  16. bateen bhoy

     

     

    Forgot the rules. Do you have to pick a score, or just win/loss/draw?

  17. Celtic Mac – you just pick ONE team that you thi l will win

     

    If they do you’re still standing. Cant pick the same team twice.

  18. And ye dare to talk about asterisks,

     

    Ye shower of shameless Huns,

     

    When I think of all the cheating ye have done,

     

    We were robbed of many matches, by your crooked Referees,

     

    We were robbed of many Titles by your use of E,B,Ts

     

    But we’ve brought your reign of horror to an end,

  19. Hope celtic take time out of the stadium to get running hot water, modernise payment at kiosks and perhaps wall mounted panel heaters in the concourse.

  20. Did anyone see CANAMALAR’S post last night where he said he’d heard the mankies had had their Euro Licence rejected?

     

     

    Embdy heard the same?

  21. !!Bada Bing!! on

    ‘Dortmund are in good form….’

  24. Thanks Jobo, we got there in the end.

     

    As always, your contribution is invaluable ;-)

  25. melbourne mick

     

     

    Great little recipe there.

     

    Another Scottish version of spam was of course ‘chopped pork’ (or was just us) which you would buy at the butcher.

     

    Still makes the base for a half decent roll/sandwich.

  26. bateen bhoy/jobo baldie

     

     

    Thanks for your efforts to help get me on board.

     

     

    Hail Hail

    That’s not nice , wee appreciate Jobo

  28. Working Monday so celebrating the 9 today. I suspect Celtic will be using this weekend to make preparations for 9 IAR merchandise, interviews lined up with players as well as getting everything in order for the refund offer.

     

     

    UEFA have ‘clarified’ reports earlier in the week about streamlined qualifying and seem to be saying nothing will change. That’s extraordinary if they stick to that stance.

     

     

    UEFA helped spread this disease and it’s about time they took health more serious than their income streams.
