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.

    There are places I’ll remember

     

    All my life, though some have changed

     

    Some forever, not for better

     

    Some have gone, and some remain

     

    All these places had their moments

     

    With lovers and friends, I still can recall

     

    Some are dead, and some are living

     

    In my life, I’ve loved them all

     

    But of all these friends and lovers

     

    There is no one compares with you

     

    And these memories lose their meaning

     

    When I think of love as something new

     

    Though I know I’ll never lose affection

     

    For people and things that went before

     

    I know I’ll often stop and…

    GM- did he mention Celtic waived £300k a couple of years ago, to get split between the other clubs?

     

     

    Bada, explain please I understood it that we deferred the 300k for the benefit of Motherwell and another team I can’t remember possibly PT? Then we got our money at the end of the season, we didn’t gift it to them??

    I was 16 when we won our first 9 in a row. Didn’t really celebrate it, took our success for granted. I’m going to make up for it this year. PAAAARTY!!!!😂🥳🍺

  11. Castore will officially be announced today at Ibrox today.

     

     

    Making an announcement on a Sunday morning, it appears even the huns are embarrassed by their new partner.

    Doncaster volunteered the info a couple of weeks ago on Radio Scotland, I think it was a standard payment across the board, and Celtic passed on it,and was shared amongst the rest of the SPL Clubs at the time.

  14. Some lovely posts last night in memory of dear Helen.

     

     

    This really can be a lovely place.

     

     

    Thank you all for being here.

  15. Good morning CQN from a wet and windy Garngad

     

     

    What an emotional read back that was.

     

     

    Hamiltontim – we have never met as I am a relative newbie to the blog, but going from the beautiful words and posts your lovely wife has received she must have been one of Gods angels on earth.

     

     

    No alcoholic toast at this time but a coffe cup raised in her honour.

     

     

    God bless

  18. I see Sevco put out a statement at 7.09am this morning announcing the mighty Castore as kit makers😂😂😂

     

     

    7.09am on a Sunday😂😂😂

     

     

    They were Probably going to do it tomorrow but as we have a party planned brought it forward to when they shred evidence at the Victorian bigoted lavvy block.

     

     

    D. :)

  19. The £300,000 was given to 2 clubs who, because of the split, failed to get a 2nd home game against either Celtic or Sevco, I think it was Motherwell and someone else, can’t remember who though, por cierto

    Oh My Days! Listen tae this pish!..🤣

     

     

    “Castore have deliberately selected Rangers, the world’s most successful football club, as they enter the football market, which will see them partner with 3-5 other major clubs across Europe in the next 18 months.

     

     

    “Castore is backed by a consortium of high-profile private investors worth a combined £5billion”…
