Failing up in football

330
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

European football news this week featured Vincent Kompany “failing up”.  After overseeing Burnley’s relegation from the topflight of English football, the affable Belgian was appointed manager of Bayern Munich.  Charm gets you places, people!

Hot on the heels of that, the Newco chief executive James Bisgrove handed in his resignation, he’s off to work his magic in Saudi.  If Bisgrove ever gives a seminar on job interview technique, sign up.  This is the guy who, as commercial director, booked Newco at the Sydney tournament in 2022 for less than half the fee Celtic’s commercial director, Adrian Filby, negotiated.

Newco are both delighted at Bisgrove’s work in his various roles at the club, and totally OK that he’s moving on.  Suggestions that churning through three managers and three chief execs in 18 months is a sign of a club in perpetual crisis is unworthy of you.

    Want to watch the European Final and hear the fans creating an atmosphere for this big occasion. Unfortunately I will have to turn off the sound as I will not listen to the clown telling me what he thinks of the match. How do Sky allow this guy to operate at football matches? Has he a need to pay of debts to the Government and they are helping?

    I’ll be watching it from Switzerland so no doubt German commentators. I don’t speak German but I’m sure they’ll be more coherent than sally.

     

    He works for TNT and ITV not sky – well not yet

    Although I might just sit on the balcony and stare at the snow covered peak.

     

    Either way wine will be involved

    My intention was sitting on my decking, glass of red, cheese biscuits and watch the game on my phone.

     

     

    Now because that arsehole is involved all of the above but with mute☹️

    Maybe just “quiz pictures “ or “what is the link” if you don’t mind please, as I enjoy the working out of the puzzle or trying to identify the players and occasions or venues.

    Now if you could develop an app which filtered out the annoying little git – there’s money to be made.

    SFA rumoured to be in negotiations with either susan boyle or some “marching” flute band for the next scottish cup final

    Definitely need someone to come up with a way of giving viewers a menu choice of crowd sounds only, full commentary or mute fat swally and keep other sounds on.

     

     

    Can’t be that difficult.

    Far too much drink being taken. Can ye not control yersels. 🤨

    You beat me to it.

     

     

    Maybe another good idea would be an app that alerts you while typing a post that someone has already said much the same thing as you are about to post.

    I take it the small doll’ s words were adjectives to describe the musicians and accompanying lowlife spectators and not the words to the songs.

    Rod Stewart and his lovely wife in Dubrovnik for a wedding – is this the same one Joe was at

    I’m another who has to watch it muted…can’t stand listening to…’ You’re spot on Fletch…’ all evening.

    Dortmund nearly caught out twice playing out from the back – or as we know it fannying around

    Anyway of avoiding Super Salary?

     

    ******

     

    Am watching with sound down and listening on 5live ( Big Chris)

     

    About 5 seconds ahead but if you pause radio commentary for 5 seconds and then restart ( ignore the live button) it’s almost exactly in synch.

     

    Definitely better than earache from Sally

    Borussia should be in front

     

    Thinking back to when we played Real Madrid at Celtic Park not so long ago

     

    We could have been two up at halftime had we taken advantage of our goal scoring positions….

     

    We weren’t
