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.

Which reminds me of a conversation wi two auld fellas in Kilwinning a coupla years back.
Talking about their betting that day.
“How didje gitoan thiday?”
“No bad,twatwa tae yinyins”
I’m in Livingston centre with Burghbhoy junior and Mrs Burghbhoy.
My goodness , the song is really true………can u see a handsome Hun? No no……..every one u pass is more zombie-like than the previous.
Truly monstrous.
Anyway , ducked into the wee oasis that is the new Celtic store to kit the wee bhoy in the new hoops.
A veritable calm and serenity in the face of the horrors that lurk outside

I do not agree…I text bt earlier ..is not only grandmatically correct but was also a waist off a perfectly good sms

I see your point,and I see yours.
IMO,they are to be commended for rewarding their fans.
Can you imagine the pelters they would get for moving to the home of Irish hunnery because their ground wasn’t big enough?
And fair play to Celtic for ensuring Cliftonville got the chance of a TV payday by switching the tie.
Everyone’s a winner,apart from Linfield….
Ooooops
One of those yours should have n been theirs’

Paolosboots..
Cheers., yes, technology can keep us all in contact…
Top man..
BMCUW, i agree, i know alot of fans who would love to be there but can’t get tickets which is a shame but hopefully the tv money will keep them going well.
Took your advice and played football with Celticrollercoaster which was enjoyable, good standard but my body was in bits the next day!!! He was the first cqn member i’ve ever met, nice guy hope to meet many others in due course.

If crc is the only cqner you have met things will only look up.
Sorry meant crc only looks up. .o))
BT thanks, how long before you’re back in action! Hope you are enjoying the free music in sunny Blantyre….. Heard them practicing in Burnbank last night.
PB
I live near to the west end bar so don’t hear much from them..
Heading down to ksc blantyre to watch the hoops in action..
Couple of weeks and I should be weight bearing. My leg needs help because there is plenty of weight to bear…

Brilliant……. I have had to avoid them for many years now….. Nearly landed in jail 30 years ago when I lost the plot once too often …..LOL
BT, hope you have a good recovery, and enjoy the match!!! Have grass to cut …
PB
Dont cut grass in the sun it only burns it…
Well thats what I tell mrs bt…

CRC will keep you right on the increasingly regular CQN get-the-githers.
He rarely misses them.
Personally,I’m looking at organising a wee dayoooot in Glasgow for 28 Sept.
And I’d be disappointed in a Godfather way if you couldnae make it!
I’ve yet to meet a clown from this site-though a few have met me-and the more you meet up with,the more you will meet up with.
Never mind ‘twiced’ or ‘wanst’.
‘alot’
is ‘worser’ than them.
Blinkin’ flip.
Got the lucky 888 post.
Wherzi bookies?
Sipsini – they’re not marching through Toryglen are they?
I thought Coatbridge was bad enough but “little Donegal” – that takes the biscuit.
Logging in from Florida bhoys and reading the news about parades. No better here. Mickey and Mini leading with Donald, Daisy and Goofy following behind. The sooner they ban this nonsense the better. It’s the effect on the kids I worry about – they grow up just as bad as the parents. I was horrified as Wee NatKnow seemed to be lapping it up. I guess it’s just a bit of fun as far as a 6-year-old is concerned.
Glad we seen it just the wanst.
Re. the “Rolex Ecstasy”, a young boy of 19 from Castlemilk, died on Saturday after taking it. Tragic waste of a young life, family are well known here, and are understandably devastated.
RIP Nick, and Hail Hail

pPolice Scotland are escorting people around the city today playing same songs you get arrested if sung at a football game. Hypocrisy.

Well,we’re all bored and having a wee laff,but sometimes tragedy strikes.

Assume you’ve tried the obvious stuff like switching it off then on again and making sure all updates are installed?
Phyllis Dietrichson, yes they march on Rossnowlagh Beach, i was giving Mrs PB her first driving lesson on the beach and had a wry thought to myself that she would have run amock if it had been the same day!!!

……………………
And if those who would be offended by those songs actually created a stir, then they would be arrested for BoP.

Personally, I thought Dancing Bears had been outlawed in the EEC.
