Ethics of exposing a vulnerable man, Pythonesque statement

337

You know what I think, defeats from rivals only do limited damage, the toxic poison comes from within.  Internecine strife, Bear on Bear action, can rip Newco apart.

I don’t know what Lee Wallace and our old pal Kenny Miller said to Graeme Murty on Sunday, but if it was along the lines of ‘You are out of your depth, incapable of operating at this level and exposed for what you are’, they would be correct.  That doesn’t make them right, though.

Speaking truth to the boss sounds like a good idea but commonly all it does is isolate you, weaken the boss and make everyone’s job more difficult.  Kenny Miller reached the Champions League knock out stages under Gordon Strachan, he knows what a good manager looks like.  Along with the rest of the world, he knows Murty is vulnerable and out of his depth, but it is not ethically, or tactically, a good thing to expose his vulnerability.

Whatever Miller and Wallace said was almost certainly right, but ethically it is up there with the solicitor-cum-tax advisor-cum-porn star-cum-convict Paul Baxendale Walker, who was Sir David Murray’s chief architect at Oldco and who faced a bankruptcy court hearing this week.

What an absolute shower.

Loved the statements yesterday.  ‘We’re so upset we are going to be quiet’, is Pythonesque.  It sits alongside ‘I fart in your general direction’ as an absurd masterpiece.

Just brilliant that another fan group caught the zeitgeist by telling fans “Millions have been ploughed into the club by the current board”.  So let’s not be hastily apportioning blame to Dave and Co.  I hope neither group realise how much fun they give.

  1. Ahhhhh, Auldheid as usual is way ahead of me before he even knew I needed his input…

     

     

    FC Irtysh case… CFCB decision… Tax Liability????

     

     

    Yes, Charles Flint was present and correct…

     

     

    Thanks Auldheid ;)

    Good point although in the published exchanges Celtic had with the SFA last September, Regan invited the SPFL to ask LNS if the testimony from SDM that ebts provided competitive advantage would make any difference to his ruling.

     

     

    However there is further information that could be put before LNS (in addition to ebts being ruled unlawful) that will be confirmed or usable after the Comp Off reports.

     

     

    Thus the door is already open to revisit LNS at SFA suggestion.

    Indeed and so we wait, still.

     

     

    I said last week that my money is on the CO report being released after an embarrassing and unnecessary national team debacle in Peru…

  4. My friends in Celtic

     

     

    Interesting reading back. It should be remembered that Kenny Miller played for us when he was circa 27 years old.

     

     

    Any alledged habits would have originated long before that.

     

     

    Hmmmmmmm

     

     

    HH to all.

    Interesting piece and it does show that the Celtic Board have been attempting to address the hun cheating.

     

     

    t does beg the question: what will they respond with if the Compliance Officer reports back with a “nothing to see here” decision (which I think is unlikely); or how they will respond if the CO calls for an enquiry.

     

     

    It’s been a long game but hopefully you and the guys who have put the effort in are in the home stretch!

    That’s a cracker…..

     

     

    Usain would certainly not do walking away from that shower..he would break every known record in running history .. ?

  7. Ernie, I was aware that the misuse of the phrase annoyed you…but I never thought you would start a website about it…

    Wrong kind of bolt me thinks, if the rumours are true its Nuts and Bolts that they need…..

     

     

    Mind you they do have a few nuts already.

  9. Bloody genies…

     

     

    A man walks into a bar, carrying a large wooden box.

     

    The bartender is quite curious and asks the man what’s inside.

     

    “I’ll show you if you get me a beer”, the man says.

     

    The bartender accepts the deal and gets the guest a beer. He then opens the box and takes out a man of around 1 foot tall and a small piano. The tiny guy directly starts playing the piano. All the classics played with consummate ease.

     

    The bartender is amazed and shouts out: “That’s awesome dude. Where did you get that?”

     

    The man replies: “I will tell you if you get me another beer.”

     

    Of course the bartender gets him a beer right away. As the man is sipping from it he explains: “I got it from a genie in a magic lamp.”

     

    The bartender gets really enthousiastic and says: “You have a genie in a lamp? If you let me use it just once, I’ll get you another beer.”

     

    The guy is still pretty thirsty and accepts this offer. As he is drinking his third beer he hands over the lamp. The bartender rubs it and a genie pops out,who says: “Master, I can grant you one wish. What will that be?”

     

    The bartender shouts out: “I want a million bucks!”

     

    A few seconds later the bar is full of ducks, shitting all over the place.

     

    “What the hell is this?”, screams the bartender. “I wished for a million bucks, not a million ducks.”

     

    His costumer says with a sad face: “Yeah, that genie has quite the hearing problem. Or did you really think I wished for a 12 inch pianist?!”

    Excellent. Will you start one that names and shames people that pronounce apparently “appayrently”?

     

    I would read it.

  13. The “nothing to see here” scenario is is the fallacy which is taken for granted: petitio principii. The cover up is is vindicated and Celtic comply by accepting and doing nothing. The begged question which more than a few on here think is already in play.

     

     

    The second question regarding the reaction to a request for an enquiry (sic) hasn’t been begged.

     

     

    Maybe too subtle for some.

     

     

    However, the obvious mistake was the use of enquiry instead of inquiry, so in looking to find fault, the wrong fault has been addressed. It begs the question ……..

    Great news about Wee Shay!

     

     

    Wee prayer said for him and his family.

     

     

    Please keep us posted!

  15. I see Phil is casting doubt on whether or not Sports Direct will sell the Sevco Hummel merchandise.

     

     

    That would be the most hilarious outcome ever – no chance to distribute or sell them in their own shops or in the UK’s biggest sports stores!

     

     

    Have Hummel really agreed to a sponsorship deal with no logistics behind it?

     

     

     

    KTF

  16. Yesterday it was £15m over 3 years from Hummel. Now it’s £10m over 3 years.

     

     

    Hummel annual turnover is in the region of £75m, there is no chance they are offering anywhere near those sums of money, particularly if there will be limited distribution…

  17. Evening Times: “Celtic earned around £13.4m from television rights because they were given 10% of the total £134 million deal to British clubs. Scottish clubs get 10 per cent of the total pool if they qualify for the group stage.

     

     

    English Premier League side Manchester United will only receive around £10.4 million because they qualified via the Europa League, not domestically and therefore received nothing until they reached the latter stages. Celtic earned more money in total than the likes of Dortmund and Napoli because British clubs receive far greater revenue from their television deal than anyone else in the Champions League.”
