If you were in any doubt about what we’re up against when it comes to developing Scottish football, former St Mirren chairman, Stewart Gilmour’s incoherent rant in one of today’s newspapers, that Peter Lawwell is running Scottish football, paints a clear picture for you.
Peter Lawwell’s club, your club, PAYS for Scottish football. Fans of this club pour millions into the bank accounts of others from Dingwall to Kilmarnock. Those same clubs earn TV money and trackside advertising to viewers who tune in to see that very same club play football.
Each SPFL and SFA member club has only one vote, and Peter Lawwell is out-voted and frustrated on many issues. What he brings to the table is experience of the game, business, commercial contracts, risk and strategy that no one else in our game has ever enjoyed.
He will be the person who brings evidence-based insight into the value of our game’s commercial properties. This is not because Peter Lawwell is some unassailable guru, he simply has experience of running a business which is greater in depth and scope than anyone else in the history of Scottish football. The fair-minded acknowledge this and are thankful for it.
If your skillset is more suited to a bowling club committee than a business turning over tens of millions of pounds, and you have an unfortunate attitude towards Celtic representatives, all this might rub you up the wrong way.
You may think the last person you want illuminating Scottish football is some educated ******. Believe me, these attitudes persist in our game.
Gilmour, you will remember, was in charge of St Mirren when Charles Green (then the darling of Ibrox), was invited to New St Mirren Park for a Celtic game. They all wanted a piece of Peter then, but there was no courtesy offered from the Celtic contingent on the day.
This is a call to arms by those who want to encourage clubs to obstruct Celtic in every way possible. Peter Lawwell is their bogeyman. They are still sore that they didn’t turnover Celtic (and the rest of Scottish football) in 2012, and they blame Peter for not getting what they wanted.
Now there is a fresh reality to worry about: Celtic making their own way in the world, with the consent of Scottish football. Others will find their place in the game, while one club would wither on the vine without Celtic to feed off.

Where were we?
“This is a call to arms by those who want to encourage clubs to obstruct Celtic in every way possible. Peter Lawwell is their bogeyman. They are still sore that they didn’t turnover Celtic (and the rest of Scottish football) in 2012, and they blame Peter for not getting what they wanted”
Really?
===========================
I’m pretty sure that if you look back on CQN to the summer of 2012 there is a blog where Paul reveals in detail that a flat pack switcheroo arrangement was going to be attempted to get Sevco into the top tier.
Based on accusations that Paul acts as a conduit for PL then it is probable under that belief that in fact all the detail came from PL. Information that if not provided might have meant a deal going through under the radar.
I also know for a fact that another blog proclaiming Platini’s views on the need for sporting integrity taking precedence over commercial considerations came from PL, so based on those instances I think that what Paul says relating to PL thwarting the flat pack plan is true.
The foot may have been taken off the gas thereafter eg 5 Way but babies and bathwater n that.
Fascists is a term that is often banded about but rarely properly or understood. It is akin to false attribution and a composition fallacy. Very much like saying an ex Celtic employee is jailed for paedophile crimes ergo all Celtic supporters must be. Fascist, paedohile, commie, racist, homophobe – all terms that are regularly and commonly used as derogatory without basis for no other reason to be derogatory and silencing.

Yup!

You could say that about a lot of words…’Marxist’ for example. According to more than a few posters we are overun by ‘Marxists’….Bolsheviks as well.
Socialism….Hippy….Redneck…..and so on.

Those are great deals if you can do six days.
The Turim group of Hotels is very good and that one is in not a bad position in Lisbon.
You know its bad when BRTH caws ye an oul clown……………….ha ha.
Less of the oul ya bam……….:_)
Thanks to all for all the route suggestions. All cheaper than the direct routes and the ones I’ve been looking at via spain. I’ll annoy brth a bit more and get it sorted out. Then I’ll annoy him a wee bit more.
BRTH, I have a special bottle for you for your excellent 2017 charity effort. Get in touch so we can organise getting it to you. BTW, you need to raffle this one, its really good in dram terms but is an extra special bottle number.
Ya doo hikkie…………………….:_)

So why is Lawwell their bogeyman based on this?
THE GREEN MAN SAYS SACK THE BOARD on 20TH JANUARY 2017 12:55 AM
Aye, you can apply it to anything. It’s akin to stereotyping. One swallow doesn’t make a summer.
BIG PEAT OF ISLAY ✝ HONEST MIBSTAKES on 20TH JANUARY 2017 12:51 AM
Fascist . Yes.
A term often used when you have no valid contradictory argument.
So you revert to the playground.
The fascist with the highest body count in the 20th century was Stalin.
All American presidents have been dicks, Why get excited about this one.
I Exclude the wan that turned into a vampire killer, he wisnae a dick, he wis the cat’s pyjama’s if you had a vampire problem.

Velvets remind me of a mad girl i knew when i was a kid
She played the velvets all the time.
She had a flat in Wilton St….run by west end social workers, no visitors….She insisted on playing the same Leonard Cohen album for hours.
Locked me in a wardrobe when one of the knobs chapped the door one time.
Happy Days:)

Angel Gabriel, that’s good news on young KT. Thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing the wee fella back strutting his Celtic stuff.

There have been as many, if not more, posts condemning Trump and all he stands for.
But don’t let the truth get in the way of you slagging of this blog or it creator Paul67.
Big Peat
Just today…..it was a flashback to Russia in 1917.
Bolsheviks, Marxists, Cultural Marxists….thats if you dont like Trump:)
I was saying….they must be a fair age now:)
And i thought first-year uni students were mental:)
CQN is like the Gong Show now.
HH
Ah macjay1 your right wing facist underskirt is showing. It’s not pretty though.
Facist supermist sentiment is on the rise. That you feel emboldened enough to spout your disgusting views just reaffirms it.
All of this is a failure of left wing politics. When left wing politics fail right wing facist takes its place. Disgusting characters like you are ever waiting on the wings.
The result of all this facist and its associated intolerance and greed are always wars. Alas that’s where we are headed.
Guys like you hide behind it all.
That CQN is populated by you and your ilk (including Paul 67 who has become an absolute joke) tells its own story.
So we learn nothing from history. You would have been a black short or a nazi and we are yet to describe trumps new world army.
But until you and Paul and your facist a friends get a chance I am going to expose and shame you at every opportunity.
That’s the least my children deserve.
Facist.
Owen I have laughed as you have tried to tell everyone not to resort to name calling etc.
You are a hypocrit.
You have attacked me time after time after time. But guys like you have no shame.

OK once you have sorted the route out and in, let me know.
Sipsini — once you know how you are getting there again let me know as I am playing about with hotel rooms in Old Lisbon and so far have managed to get everyone into two at reasonable prices and I have a third one in the area standing by.
DD I have your e-mail and will get back to you.
Where is the oul Greenlion? He could do with checking his inbox I think.

Mad mental teenagers supervised by hippy social workers fae the west, west end.
You can imagine.
One of these Hippy social chicks tried it on with me by giving me a lesson on Zola’s ‘Therese Raquin…..Hilarity.
They were more mental than the inmates:)

You just called the guy who runs this site names and you accuse me of having no shame?
I have never hid my contempt for you, I have never hid my belief that you are a plant, I have never claimed to be anything other than a Celtic supporter, if you can refute any of my claims I will apologise publicly to you.
I also remember you telling everyone on the blog that as an Accountant you could prove Peter Lawwell was siphoning money out of the Celtic accounts, then again your recently claimed to be a social scientist. No shame but a good memory.

You got awe naw red carded
Have you no Shame

===================
They wanted a quick RFC out TRFC in deal with TRFC starting in top tier, all debt dumped and maybe a points sanction, not what did happen.

Are you drunk? I’ll have a couple of pints of whatever you’re drinking pal. :-)
Macjay
Yes it is the playground.
NEGANON2 on 20TH JANUARY 2017 1:08 AM
I know. I know.
It`s all about me.
Flattery will get you nowhere.
Could there be a more obvious illustration of what I said before :
=====================================
Fascist.
A term often used when you have no valid contradictory argument.
So you revert to the playground.
=====================================
Many thanks for proving my point.
Socialism is gone because the people don`t want it.

Awe Naw got himself red carded. I was just the target for his adolescent fixation with sexually explicit metaphors.
I made no complaint to Paul67 about his comment, I told him what I thought of his comment and several hours later Paul67 saw it and acted. He wanted to act the hard man not me and he got put in his place for it.
DD you have mail
AULDHEID on 20TH JANUARY 2017 1:28 AM
So if it wasn’t for PL the Huns would have reappeared in the SPL instead of div 3? Is that what you are claiming?
OWEN on 20TH JANUARY 2017 1:30 AM
Margaret McGill
I agree with Neganon
You are a hypocrite
Margaret Mc Gill
To clarify my last post.
It was Awe Naw that I made my position clear to not Paul67.
Paul67 made his decision on his own.
Margaret McGill
Now that you and Neganon2 agree about what I am could you get together and reach a consensus about the spelling of “hypocrite”
In all honesty I could not give less of a care what either of you think about me,
I live in East Cork if either of you are in the area anytime soon give me a call and you can organise a Green Man approved drive by Flanning, otherwise dream on.
I’ve not watched this for a wee while so it brought a tear to my good eye when I watched it again. What would we give to see a signing like this again. Seven years of magic.

Mate.
Brendan gives me the confidence that the signing of someone of the ilk of Henrik is possible.
In fact , perhaps the signing of Brendan may turn out to be the equivalent .
Ah maybe we should have met in 2010. I spent 3 weeks in Dingle and visited Cork 3 times.
What is a “Green Man approved drive by Flanning,”?
