Giakoumakis , Juranovic and some old lies

273

Those of you who were not around in the 90s, when the Fergus McCann regime was in place, might be unfamiliar with the stories around Giorgos Giakoumakis and Josip Juranovic.  We are told by the ‘popular’ media that both players are disappointed that unwritten agreements to significantly improve their contracts have not been met.

Peddling this line was an industry back in Fergus’ day.  Players and agents were figuratively battering journalists’ doors down with the fine print in unwritten contracts.  We had no new media then, so all we could do is complain to each other, while a significant portion of the support took everything said about the board hook, line and sinker, backed the players and opposed Fergus.

Now, as then, these players have expensive agents and lawyers.  Nothing is agreed that is not in the contract.  Contracts can contain clauses with bonuses or uplifts based on appearances, goals, club success or pretty much any metric you can think of.  If it remains unwritten, it is not an agreement.

As far as Josip (27) and Giorgos (28 next week), honestly, you don’t even need to ask.  Those of us who have ambitions to kick on, move beyond our European cannon fodder status, will want to Asset Manage both of them.  The recruitment operation that brought them to the club in 2021 has only grown in resource; throw the dice without a moment’s hesitation.  Greatness was never achieved by being conservative.

    In the STLL LINE VAR Photo, the Belgium players arm is playing the Croatian boy ONSIDE, in the buil up to the Penalty that was awarded by the Ref.

     

     

    The arm doesn’t count. Only areas of the body that can legally play the ball come into play for offside calls.

     

     

    Crazy I know.

    If Giakoumakis is for the off, so be it. Goodbye and perform your drama on another stage.

    Any legal bhoys out there that can give me advice?.

     

     

    Receiving letters from HMRC that are addressed to me, not my name, just my address being used by limted company….i opened them up to confirm this. I checked this on companies house and sure enough a newly formed company has set up using my home address. I emailed them (companies house) to remove my address as i was concerned this is ‘Identity theft’ but have heard nothing from them.

     

     

    any advice

    VAR gives offside when it wasn’t and saves us from a penalty the ref gave, when it wasn’t.

     

     

    So two wrongs DO make a right .

    Indeed, Celtic supporters that’ll take anybody’s side of the story as long as it’s not Celtic.

    As a precaution sign yourself up to a Credit Referencing Agency and do a credit check on yourself.

     

    You shouldn’t have to pay for this

     

     

    The reason for doing the above is to check there are no loans or car finance etc showing under your name and address.

     

     

    Hopefully there won’t be anything else shows up when you do the credit check.

     

     

    But however set this company up are crooks! Have they done anything else?

  11. Croatia v Belgium…

     

    My Bets on Croatia will be deemed as ” VOID”, by Bet365, and my money REFUNDED…..due to the Match finishing 0 – 0, which is ruled as a ” NO Score- BORED Draw, by BET365.

     

    Which I will settle for, especially with Belgium missing some chances in the 2nd half.

     

     

    The other BETTER News is that I had the Correct Score of MORROCO to beat CANADA 2 – 1 at odds of 9/1.

  12. Apologies to David Friel, he did not say GG was moving on…

     

     

    “Postecoglou is understood to be keen to sign a new striker in January as he looks to bolster his options.

     

     

    Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis currently battle for the No9 role but another forward is expected to arrive.

     

     

    That would be my ideal scenario…

     

     

    Hail Hail

    TOM,

     

    If you remember I told everyone on here yesterday that I USED to know the Rules of Fitba, but sadly due to VAR in particular and the Offside and Penalty Rules being VERY confusing…these days…I know NOTHING about Fitba !

     

    LOL

    aye done it and it confirmed when the company was set up

  15. FOURSTONECOPPI on 1ST DECEMBER 2022 4:23 PM

     

     

     

    You need to contact Companies House and tell them what’s happened. They have a procedure to rectify their records.

     

     

    If the scammers have been using your address to sell non existent goods be prepared for disgruntled customers appearing on your doorstep.

     

     

    You could try searching the company name online to see what they’ve been up to.

  16. Re Johnston, he looked like a player who’s played the inverted FB position before, regularly moved into right midfield.

    The Officers tab lists company directors/secretary etc. Check that to make sure your name is not listed.

  21. FOURSTONECOPPI

     

     

    It will let you see who has set the company up at your address……..

     

     

    Something I would want to know

     

     

    If your struggling, email me the company name/number to cqnmod@gmail.com and I can let you know
