I’m sure Ronny Deila is delighted to have the backing of John Harton, now he doesn’t need it. John’s attachment to the club is not in doubt, nor should a new manager want unquestioning support from anyone, but some clubs reach a point when they become unmanageable. Influential voices collaborate with perma-upset media and fans to expose shoots of recovery to a winter frost.
The mea culpa, when it arrives, is often too late.
Save us from the click bait that is suggesting Craig Gordon is a ‘target’ for some or other English club. Derk Boerrigter is interesting Real Madrid, honest, they’ve been watching him with the Development Squad.
I’ve been waiting for weeks on someone to ask the question: if a club accepts money on the condition that the lender has the right to appoint two directors, in the event the club removes those directors, do you reckon that would be a breach of the terms of the loan?
I’d be extremely worried if a well-intentioned, but nonetheless, baying mob chased away the last independent director of my club. Many Germans celebrated the Armistice, thinking a conclusion to hostilities had been agreed. Months later they learned the terms left them bereft of land, defensive capabilities, capital equipment, authority and self-respect. What seemed like an end to the trauma only set in motion far greater horrors.
Our good friends at Magners have offered two premium seat tickets for tomorrow’s game at Celtic Park. To win, email me the name of the team we’re playing at celticquicknews@gmail.com
Competition closes at 5pm tonight. If you would like to help build a school kitchen for 909 hungry kids for Mary’s Meals in Malawi while entering the competition, you can donate £1 here. Thank you.

Ard mhaca
I haven’t read it but have meant to
Followed some of the controversy about it on The Pensive Quill, obviously those boys would be in the other camp from yourself. Still I must get round to it.
BT
the other book is blanketmen by Richard o rawe, Ard mhaca refers to it above. O rawe made the controversial claim that the prisoners had accepted an offer from the brits but Adams and Co vetoed same. Needless to say these claims are strenuously denied
Ghuys I may have a couple of spares for Sunday but will not know until tomorrow night. If interested e-mail me lennybhoycfc@gmail.com
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
I am a bit rusty and apologise for typos in previous post.
Bt,
It was a bit of a shocker eh?
Pen for villa. 20 seconds to go
Horrible Hutton in typical cowardly high follow through in the guise of a tackle. Caught Berahino in the stomach, handbags follow. Yellows all round.
Point gets Villa out of bottom, but they have a last kick of the game penalty!

Kathleen Largey does the best rendition ever of The Patriots game.
I can’t do the link thingy on an iPad.
But check out you tube if you haven’t heard her rendition .
TT
Foster surely has money on villa
That is the most feckless goalkeeping display you are likely to see ever
I know what the spine of the team is now – feels good. Didn’t spot how god nir was until very recently and love the resurgence in broonie.
Very cool, Benteke.
Only about the 3rd or 4th goal scored at the Holte End in nearly a year or so.
Wits
I’ll take the word of those who where involved rather than an outsider, it won’t stop me reading it though
Villa win last gasp penalty . Only the second time I have made a prediction on CQN , got both wrong.
**Paddy McCourt klaxon**
The Derry Pele, on loan to Notts County, scores in his second game to take home all 3 points for the Magpies.
They already love him.
jeez – meant ‘good’- freudian thingy again
Tiny Tim
OK dokey. I hope the drug of choice works.
`night all,

O rawe was heavily involved
He was in the h blocks at the time and was acting as pro for the prisoners so was involved in the flow of info in and out during the period
Wits
I don’t mean you btw, I mean the reporter
Cheers wits
I’ll read more on him too then
Bt
I know that but see my reply
Aston Villa out of the bottom 3, but have fallen a long way since MO’N got them a top 6 Premiership place 3 seasons on the trot not so long ago.
Ard Marcha,
Loving the Bobby Sands diary.Thank you very much.

Think Graham’s ignorant admission is pretty cut n’ dried………….from round about 8 minutes in, for those who haven’t seen it.
Still amazes me.
Devine’s incredulity is clarification for those doubting Graham’s intention.
Bt
As I said it’s a very controversial claim he makes but there are plenty of disillusioned ex activists who give him credence, and of course plenty who dismiss it as nonsense
Tiny Tim
Here you go mate:

I have one of her albums.Fantastic songs.Am I right in saying she died a good while ago?.
For a cheeky look at Irish politics, dig out a PJ O’Rourke piece about the IRA etc. Hilarious.
Doncha just love the Sevconians?
MA GTF and we ain’t gonna pay you your money back.
MA GTF and take your board members with you.
MA GTF ‘cos you ain’t a Rangers man and we all hate you.
Oh, by the way Mike, can you sub me that other 5 million?
Absolutely hilarious.
Left back’s terrible clearance straight to Hutton, whose cross led to the penalty, almost as bad as the ‘keeper’s madness!

When did paddy go to Notts County?

That sounds like filtering the 70s through a filter to suit the tendencies of having moved from Labour to the SNP in the interim.
Like the wee guy in the video that Estadio NAcional likes, the 70s Nats were quite happy to whistle down the wind, and welcomed the austerity of Tory Rule as a way of increasing the distinctiveness of the Scottish working classes from the English & Welsh working class. They felt it would benefit them electorally so they welcomed it.
Callaghan, for all his faults, had held together a Social Contract with the Unions during a period when the whole country was trying to recover from the Oil Crisis, three day week, IMF dictating terms, and rampant inflation. He made the mistake of trying to get the unions to agree to squeezing their pay demands for a third version of the Social Contract when the same union leaders were telling him their members were making all the sacrifices but not getting the gains. He needed to relax the terms of the final agreement and he might have won a tight election. But its hard to serve two masters, the people of this country and the IMF crowd, and Jim thought he could repeat the trick one more time. He was a managerial administrator rather than a great leader but he tried hard to keep a warring and fractious party together during very troubling times.
P.S. George Cunningham introduced the 40% rule without any encouragement from the Labour leadership. He was not enough of a Labour loyalist to do so as he left with the other deserters to join the SDP 3 years later. Whether you desert for SDP or SNP, you still have to swallow a lot.
The Fitt/McGuire stuff was the act of a desperate man (Callaghan) who knew in his bones what Tories were like and what they would do. The SNP sang “Bring it on!” though.
Alternatively, an English/Irish author called Mccarthy t wrote a book about his relationship with Ireland. Anyway, he overheard a dim Essex couple (Darren and Tracy) discussing the IRA/UvF in an Irish pub. Initially, their bone headed ignorance is excruciatingly funny, yet it actually made some sense in hindsight. Tragically.

After Jan transfer window – on loan from Brighton.
Capt beefheart
Is it pete Mccarthy you are thinking of
He wrote Mccarthy s bar and the road to Mccarthy, both worth a read. Died tragically of cancer at a relatively young age
Gene saw the Derry Pele play against Port Vale last week
Not to mention the fact that labour had the opportunity to go into a coalition with the SNP and other smaller parties in the last GE, but chose to let the Tories govern because of their rabid hatred of the Nats.
Scotland voted labour and got the Tories for the umpteenth time ..
Thankfully people have become wise to it.
Apologies for going OT :
blantyretim
Lucky him. Wish I lived a bit nearer Nottingham.
