I am sure Neil Doncaster’s job is full of stresses and strains but this week will probably be a breeze. Fans of every club in the league appear to be in uproar at the resolutions for an Insolvency Transfer Event to be voted on later this month. Infuriating everyone is surely better than infuriating most but leaving one group happy.
Fans of 11 SPL clubs have reacted in horror that the league seek to introduce a facility to allow a liquidated club to phoenix straight back into the top tier of Scottish football. Fans of Rangers, while along with administrators and bidders for the club are publicly opposed to liquidation, are outraged that this new facility to allow a new club entry to the SPL should carry a sporting and financial inhibitor.
For clarification: the inhibitor is there to ensure clubs have a modicum of moral hazard against gaining an unfair advantage before ditching creditors and their old skins, and emerging in the SPL with player registrations from another club but without the debts or consequences of mismanagement.
Rangers US and Singapore based bidders seem unperturbed by the proposals. Paul Murray’s Blue Knights consortium has curiously lost its tongue. Maybe this helps explain all those years when the EBTs were unopposed by the former Rangers board. Silence, not even an utterance!
There remains three possible outcomes to this issue:
The proposed SPL resolutions will be passed, allowing a Newco straight entry to the League.
The resolutions will fail and the SPL board will vote a Newco into the league anyway.
The resolutions will fail and the SPL board will deny Newco a place in the league.
Celtic Quick News first flagged this scenario in October last year when we predicted Newco would be given a parachute into the SPL, opposed only by Celtic. As the key resolution (2A) requires only 8 votes I still expect this to happen, despite the ‘Bring it on’ view of many Rangers fans to the prospect of starting again from Division Three.
As the financial penalty resolution (2B) requires 11 votes I expect this to fail and no financial penalties to be imposed.
The question for Kilmarnock, Dunfermline, St Mirren, Inverness, Motherwell, St Johnstone, Hibs and Kilmarnock (don’t tell me they’ll not try to get two votes, they have a huge mountain of debt to service and have every right to demand two votes) is, will they listen to their fans or their bank manager?
Dundee United and Hearts, like North Korea, appear convinced of their own superior wisdom and, like a North Korean missile, could head off in any random direction to demonstrate their contempt for clubs scared of providing satirists with material. They could easily vote themselves into a Gorgie-Tannadice League, if they could agree on a Gorgie-Tannadice/Tannadice-Gorgie naming convention.
For now, if you care about any of this, participate in the online SPL Fan Survey. We’ll soon find out who runs Scottish football, fans or the Bank of Scotland! One additional point about democracy, it carries responsibility. In this instance, stopping Newco means fans of all remaining clubs have to step forward in increasing numbers to buy season tickets. This is the cost of sporting integrity.

You are right to condemn the historical Royal? families & to compare them to our present politicians.
In fact, our present manipulators are even more contemptible.
The sons of the so-called nobility of the past at least took part ( though mainly at a distance) in their battles.
The present day rulers make sure their precious offspring are not put at the same risk to life & limb as those of us who elect them & tolerate them.
I suppose we deserve what we are prepared to put up with.

Weird – was looking for that the other night for one of my daughters, think it’s
quintessential Celtic.

“Of course I didn’t take my wife to see Rochdale as an anniversary present, it was her birthday. Would I have got married in the football season? Anyway, it was Rochdale reserves.”

I think it would be wrong for Celtic to say a single word, at present.
timbhoy in spain on 14 April, 2012 at 00:00
I totally agree, it will be very tough to get by HIGHLY motivated teams who are paid a lot less than the Celts they are competing against.
We are CELTIC, GLASGOW CELTIC
Let them fear the name before they even SEE our excellent new players.
Hearts, IMO, is a really big game, I want these Bhoys to hurt them like they done to Killie. No slacking at all in ANY game until the end of the season.

Kilbowie Kelt,

Vmhan,

My mate Jungle Jim (not thee JJ) used to pee himself laughing every time he told this joke (he was from Port Glasgow).
Ma burd asked me to kiss her where it’s wet and smelly…..so i took her up the Port.
Nah i didn’t get it either. ;-)

When I hear Neil praise Dermot and Peter before the absolutely Amazing Celtic Support down in ole Killie town.
That says to me, a lot of Joy ahead for Celtic. Some people look a bit ahead of the curve.
Fat turnip is saying huns in SFL 3 now.
The SFA is the real enemy. ;))
SOS thanks old chap……… I’ll leave ye a wee pressie with the GB bhoys when you arrive to get the ticket,,,,,,
It’ll be a billl TAL
Petec you are so right mate but like you say WE ARE CELTIC & always will be.
My old man played for the Hoops 1947-48 & I´ve got his strip tae prove it.
I was at Celtic Park in 1952 -3 year old & it nevr goes away.GOD BLESS THE CELTIC.

Already told you there is no way on this planet you can do it bare foot. No ?????? Way.
Loch Lomond side – Top half. Bridge of Orchy to Inverarnan. Rannoch Moore, Devils Stair Case Peat and Granite, Mamoores fae Kinlickleven to FW. No four king way.
Done it 3 times and I wouldn’t do it without a decent pair of booties, plenty of warm waterproof clothing and loads of mars bars.
