Quick question for you. Which Scottish team has won their last four home games, scoring 13 goals in the process? St Mirren are on a run of form at home. One of those wins was against Second Division opposition, but remember, this season, Second Division teams are on a par with AC Milan in the early 90s.
Ross County scored four at St Mirren Park but St Mirren scored five, while Hearts were despatched 2-0. This is a team with good home form who kept their squad in place over the international break. My best advice to you is to avoid betting on this one.
Many clubs have trouble paying their bills but the problem with Hearts and their regular tardiness when it comes to wages, evident again this month, appears to be different. Hearts cash balances will have peaked weeks, possibly months, ago. From now on they will be eating into ‘reserves’, or more likely, accruing additional debt at their owner’s bank. The club have been here many times before and Vlad has dipped into the equivalent of his commercial pocket to avoid an insolvency event but I’ve always found it curious why he didn’t do so on time. It’s not as though anyone can be surprised pay day is coming.
As such, there appears to be a degree of control over late payment. The money is always provided but not before pain is passed down from owner to earners, which is a bit curious.
For all his faults, and they are many, Romanov and other shareholders in Ukio Bankas have ‘invested’ countless millions in Hearts, money they are unlikely to get back with the residential property market so depressed. They have also not exposed the club to outrageous fortune – the overwhelming majority of debt is owed to the bank itself, balances at HMRC and other creditors are low, and they pay their football debts. This means that if Hearts go into administration, the route back through a CVA would be clear. The only serious losers would be staff made redundant, while Ukio would face a write-off, perhaps already acknowledged internally.
I was surprised at the news Danny McGrain was appointed first team coach yesterday but also delighted. Danny’s was not a name mentioned for the position when Alan Thompson left the club but he is immersed in the fabric and culture of our club. ‘In the days of changing ways’ a strong thread of continuity is an invaluable asset in ensuring the new generations acquire the important elements of our identity.
We are a club in touch with all that is important.

Lennybhoy…Supporting Neil Lennon and CFC until I die
LoL.
sipsini, Re Jordanhill & St Andrew’s
The qualifications are, as far as I know, of identical worth. They both offer the PGCE (post-grad certificate of education) for both primary and secondary, or the BEd for primary.
However, at St A there was the ‘opportunity’ (or obligation?) to also do the Catholic Teacher’s certificate.
I was told that, as a Catholic, I could not work in a Catholic school wthout it, but that a non-catholic coulddo so.
That said, I suppose it all depends on who’s sifting the applications, doesn’t it?
Couldn’t resist it but chuck’s hype has suckered me into pledging even more money, just another £30k from Larry,Curly and Moe. That’s me broke £150k

You have to be careful about what you say on CQN.
Ernie may be of a litigous disposition.
Ernie is just a GRUMPHY Celtic man.
I like good, old fashioned, grumphy Celtic men.
Enjoy your night in the Vogue. :¬)))

To all Zombie fans out there. New series of the walking dead starts tonight on FX.
I have to say that I’m intrigued by the gusto with which the BBC are covering this Lance Armstrong story. Hopefully this is them setting a precedent for covering stories related to systematic cheating and the misapprpriation of titles and honours.
I look forward to their coverage when the FTT and committee investigating dual contracts make known their verdicts.
The jinky bhoy
Good to see back …take care mate
The Boy Jinky.
Your correct,It was a disaster and I wouldn’t tolerate anyone singing about it.
I’m coming into Glasgow tomorrow after I do my on-line check in for the Barcelona trip.
Fancy having to wait to check in on-line,electronically, and we have to wait on a machine coming on-line.
Your not in the Merchant City area around five,,I’ll treat you to a meal,haven’t seen you for a while.

That’s why we all come to this great site, to help each other out, no matter how big or small it is.
I take it you got the tickets sorted?
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
* LITIGIOUS.

Good to see Danny working back at the coal face. I never ever saw a better right back. Off to Barca on Monday morning from Glasgow Airport at 09.00. I haven’t been abroad to see Celtic since Lisbon a so few years ago and can’t wait. My oldest boys first foreign trip and it will be great to know that we will be welcomed. On another note I just noticed a Mr. G. Irupye just pledged £10,000 to Chuckies share issue. He must have money to burn!! Hail Hail.
Fortunes Favour Mibbes
he did watch it and piled in on us at 2-1 down and was duly pleased to spend his winnings courtesy of Sammi, no` fair is it?

Oldtim …. I will come meet you but your keeping your hands in your pocket ya old rascal :)
neganon – my view is that all it was is a populist vote winner only there so they could be seen to be tackling a problem that is perceived to be much worse than it actually is.
Pf …. I been trolling the zombie sites for a while …. Its comedy gold .
A quote from this linked Herald Article, one of the few examples of decent journalism I have read in a long while:-
“This is a business in which the easy option is to go with the majority which, for the most part, means allowing authorities and leading figures to dictate terms while delivering what can be little more than public relations material. “
Herald Journalist accuses Scottish press of being PR delivers
boy jinky
copy n paste for us
Daniel Fergus McGrain……. The stuff of legend, Oldco supporter as a boy, rejected by them on the basis of his name.( how fick are they , discrimination at its best)
Learned his trade with the lions, fractured skull overcome, diabetes overcome, mystery leg injury overcome.
Played with tremendous energy, passion and no little skill.
Best RB in the world.
No thoughts of moving elsewhere ( there must have been plenty offers )unlike KD.faithful through and through, now first team coach.
I salute you Danny……. Although had to wait until the big man was away before u sprouted the famous beard.
Remember as a bhoy my dad taking me into the wee shop at the Rangers end. Wanted and got a poster of King Kenny , got a free half size one of Danny. 10 years later Danny’s was still on the wall, Kks long since binned.
Remember watching him from the jungle, beating player after player and manoeuvring into a position to shoot, ah Danny the shooting, your only weakness.
Hail Hail Danny bhoy a true legend in Green and White and a gentleman to boot!
No finer person to be NFLs sidekick .

I met the lovely nichola fifteen years ago … always mind someone saying her nickname was Seaweed cos even the tide wouldnt take her out ;)
….PFayr 20:00:
Does my knitting when MPs/MSPs do exactly what she did in that scenario i.e. sticking their oar in when the ain’t met or researched things. She#ll not the be the first or last, I know through experience.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

I heard there was one presstitute who actually had the cheek to ask Sir Minty a question and the only quote was a muffled “I’m stupid duped stop picking on me”.

Like you I loved Danny. The way he played the game I can’t think of a noticeably poor performance from him.
Aye and his shooting was truly awful and he knew that himself as he trotted away from a left footed sclaffed shot miles high and wide with a wry grin.
Our younger supporters missed out on watching a real world class Celtic footballer. Real World Class.
I’m lost as to why people assume an independent Scotland is guaranteed to have an SNP govt. I think it’s far less likely. For no other reason than they’ll have served their purpose.
Watch how they adopt a raft of single issues about which people feel very strongly. They’re trying to sway all these disparate groups of people towards a yes vote.
The Boy Jinky.
I’ve no intention of having a session. Leaving on the 12.30 flight to Barcelona on Sunday, I wonder if BT will go to 11.00 mass first.
By the way, you were off the drink the last time I met you, are you still off it or will you partake a glass or two,have to get some wine practice for Barcelona.
EDB
When I started going to the games Danny was in his pomp …regularly regale my son about the best RB in the world …and still the best LB ive seen for CFC in Andy Lynch
