The appointment of Neil Doncaster as chief executive of the newly formed Scottish Professional (sic) Football League was a forgone conclusion, No Surrender Longmuir was interviewed out of professional courtesy, and the clubs realised that the calibre of external candidates they would attract at the moment would be from the bottom of the corporate pile. Frankly, a heavy hitter would not apply.
Now that Doncaster is freed from his previous preoccupation – trying to parachute a new club into top flight football – he can worry about his key performance indicators, bringing commercial income into the league. If he can’t deliver a good deal, or scams a ‘Homecoming’-type deal, by pulling money already committed by a benefactor, like his pal along the corridor, we’re better off without him.
My thanks to Billy No’well for inviting me onto his podcast show, Desert Island Tims, available here. I had great fun choosing material for the show and even more fun talking about Celtic, and life, with Billy.

Great Night.
Andy Murray wins and I see it in the pub with my pals and then Smackdown comes on and we laugh our heads off at the daft wrestling.
I come home and Local Hero comes on (not in Scotland).
Perfect .
Cowiebhoy –
My Daughter’s graduation house party started around 6.30 on Tuesday 2nd and ended around 5.30am on Wednesday 3rd. Admittedly this was also due to the fact that I reached the ripe old age of forty-eleven at midnight between the 2 events….
She’s still celebrating though – hardly seen her since the early hours of Wednesday…..
Jinky,
60 coming to celebration tomorrow, everyone a Tim as well, how did that happen ?
Met your colleagues Tuesday night, trying to tell me some team down there were biggest ?
Hail Hail
canamalar,
Thanks, how many shares would I need to buy?
starry plough,
cheers pal,they have both passed away now,my brother at only 39,but I was so proud that the 2 of them managed long spells of sobriety,and helped numerous people in their battle with the drink too
a ceiler…,
KDS don’t want to know got about 4 names they seem quite hostile its like they are in a huff cause one of theirs never done it but even when i offered to let their champion, any champion take control they bottled it.
good feedback from huddleboard, don’t know anyone on Celtic Minded so its probably no even been mentioned.
Was told it got a plug on etims but no sure if they listed the email address.
Anyroadup all we can do is keep plugging away and see how it goes innit

Great to see so many of our own going through Graduation, a big thing for our family, as she is the first ever to have done this
Only issue today, Sir Tom Farmer doing awards, and mentioned Simply Depressed twice, he should have known better.
Huge congrats to your own daughter

Lets hope for glorious sunshine, particularly in Coatbridge, and those out for a stroll get burnt (better than a soaking)
Hail Hail
If Andy Murray wins Wimbledon on Sunday it will be the second greatest result in Scottish sporting history. What it will do is make us who weren’t at Lisbon appreciate how outstanding an achievement it was.

The next AGM will be around Friday the 8th of November.
If you are buying shares in football. It is an emotional investment. You can attend AGM and be an owner of Celtic but don’t expect to make money.
