There will be no mention of ‘Drama Queens’ from me, but those who were uncontrollably distressed by ‘defeats’ in meaningless friendlies will no doubt be delighted to lean a Celtic team largely staffed by undergraduates got the better of Brentford yesterday. The rest of us remain unmoved, although I was pleased Amido Balde received some encouragement.
As many of you will know, the LostBhoys have been broadcasting podcasts covering Celtic’s history in recent months. It has been an incredibly professional, informative and entertaining look at our club through the years. This weekend they broadcast a decade I helped them cover, 1950-1960.
It encapsulated a seminal period for Celtic. When the SFA ruled the club would face suspension if they continued to fly the Irish flag, we could have gone out of business, or forever been robbed of our heritage. The decade saw many of the great names in our history at Celtic Park: McGrory, Tully, Stein, Fallon, McNeill, Chalmers, Auld, Gribben and Hogan, as well as the ever-influential, Sir Robert Kelly, but to those at the time it looked like we were heading nowhere. Celtic lost more games in the 50s than in any other decade, but as we know, it’s darkest before the dawn….
There are great contributions from Charlie Gallacher and John Fallon, and Terry Dick, son of Glen Daly, who recorded The Celtic Son, told us how the song came into being (it was basically the work of Charlie Tully).
You can download this episode here but catch them all, you’ll be glad you did.
Two days until football returns to Celtic Park; can’t wait.

If the cops hear about that incident they will pull the hunnette into the station and gorilla :(
It appears that a number of associates/employees of sevco have decided to wade into the ‘Lee Rigby’ song controversy. Coupled with the bizarre response to the fire at Bruce’s garage, constructed as an attack on the sevcobus and not a potential rival trying to put pressure on a competitor or an extortion attempt or any other possible explanations. Add to the mix the sun on- line’s deliberate conflation of: the fire; Celtic’s away support; ally mccoist’s strange comments. Finally top with shut the mug’s ‘succulent steakbake’ op piece,
Either
It’s all just a giant coincidence
Or
PR are going in to overdrive in order to deflect from a tsunami headed sevco’s way
You decide, don’t look at the assistants! Folllllow the muuunnneyy!!!!!!!

Kojo – You are an intelligent person,it has been said…but you wouldn’t last a second if you worked in the insurance business.
Underwriter my friend,not just write out a check for £500,000 at the drop of a hat,without carrying out a proper investigation into this bizarre saga of the burning bus. .
Liabilities.
The company would be bankrupt if you were at the helm.

In my book .. A pun is better than a hun.. any day of the weak :)
Wheres HT off to…. I know that che Alan whickers in turkey or some hot spot. Maybe HT is off to syria or cairo … peacemaker;)
How’s the burds faring up to this hot weather. . Can you pluck their feathers for them to cool down a bit.. eider duvet that for them or buy them a slush puppy from kfc ;)
TBJ
The pun comment is spot on. The wee chooks, ducks and geese are all suffering wi this heat. Egg production is greatly reduced, but, with the forecast of cooler weather this week, we look forward getting back to some kind of normality. Poor ole Brnobhoy, popped up a couple of weeks ago for some eggs………….Nane. His wee yin’s love it here so his journey was not wasted. Re HT, just wanted to wish him a good holiday. :))

The other stuff was not directly relevant to the resolution just that previous discussion made me look more at the Discount Option Scheme and got me thinking as posted.
On the issuance of licences from 2008 there was no tax presented for payment under agreed terms until May 2011. Since there was no determination that tax was due and amount agreed there was no unpaid overdue tax before then.
Start from 2008 and you give SFA and UEFA a slam dunk in terms of Article 50 and Annex VIII in that the argument will be Rangers had appealed the bill when first presented and would have continued to do so had it not been for for an FTT decision in HMRCs favour in a case of use of DOS by Aberdeen Asset Management.
It was this decision in Feb 2011 that stopped Rangers contesting the bill and accepting the tax was due which caused a demand for payment to be issued.
It is the fact the DOS stopped being contested because of an FTT ruling that they were illegal that makes it different from EBTs that whilst now under appeal were nevertheless deemed legal by the EBT FTT.
That is not to say Rangers did not prevaricate as they did with the EBTs over the DOS but the FTT decision in respect of DOS use by Aberdeen Asset Management stopped that and led to accepting bill was payable and it crystalised on 20th May.
The SFA position is that it did not and they would take same stance with anything before then but with a greater likliehood of being right than they are from May 2011.

I’m sure the cold and rain are coming along real soon. Hopefully in time to rejuvenate the chooks…
Im off to manchester Monday lunchtime for a few days.. miss the blooming celtic game but been advised on an irish bar to watch it on Tuesday
looking forward to clifftonville game in my new seat on Tuesday but can”t get the wheels on the bus go round and round out of my mind “oh my god im on fire”
TBJ
And there was me thinking you were on the bench on tuesday night, silly me. :)) Enjoy your time in Manchester,(if that’s possible) and I will think of you while at the game. And you are of course correct, it will be pissing down and storms aplenty soon enough. We just need a reasonable balance, as they poultry are all totally free range. :))

Up in London on Saturday and first chance to post. Wasn’t at Brentford as I had booked tickets for the family to see Cirque Du Soleil at the O2 Arena. The tickets weren’t cheap at just less than 200 Quid for the 3 of us, however this was probably the best 200 Quid I have ever spent on entertainment outside of seeing Celtic. Absolutely amazing; I would recommend seeing Cirque Du Soleil unreservedly to anyone who gets the chance! Failing that, have a look on YouTube.
Yours in Celtic,
TB&F.

I think you do Keevins to much of a justice, but time will tell. I have not seen any of his previous articles written with his inturned tongue and would suggest that as he is in countdown to retirement he is keeping his paymasters happy.

Listen to Keevins on Clyde…that article is no swipe at Sevco.
He doesn’t have the Sandy Shaw’s…
CRC- can you imagine if he wrote the same shoite about Neil and Peter?
Nah me neither.
Tongue in cheek or not, and in keeping with current theme, he’s a clown!
