Hartson late mea cupla

827

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.

  1. Captain Beefheart on

    Evening What is. Yeah, it must have been him. Didn’t know he passed away.

  2. Well that was an embarrassing waste of time. The answers to the quiz that no one wants to know…

     

     

    ———-

     

     

    So how about a friendly game of Who Said It? Answers are NegAnon2 or Bill McMurdo

     

     

    1. “This is Scotland 2014 – a narrow-minded, bigoted and racist backwater” Bill McMurdo

     

     

    2. “The SNP’s so-called vision of a juster, fairer Scotland masked deep-seated racist and religious bigotry” Bill McMurdo

     

     

    3. “The whole set up is rigged. From the government to the football authorities to the MSM” NegAnon2

     

     

    4. “You know scotland is actually fascinating if you are interested in sociology and psychology. A society in utter denial.” NegAnon2

     

     

    5. “The problem is endemic. Our institutions are sectarian.” NegAnon2

     

     

    6. “The proscribed list – just like the Offensive Behaviour bill itself – is not a genuine attempt to stamp out mindless bigotry but is a chocolate fireguard attempt to hide Scotland’s shame from a watching world” Bill McMurdo

     

     

    7. “the so-called Scotland of many cultures is a land infested with racial hate and intolerance” Bill McMurdo

     

     

    8. “Throwing your lot in with a sectarian society isn’t really that clever eh?” NegAnon2

     

     

    9. “Sadly, the SFA doesn’t do fair play or morality.” Bill McMurdo

     

     

    10. “Scotland is resolutely sectarian.” NegAnon2

  3. mmm Reg the Zombies.mikes guys havnt Actually released the £5 mill yet…the contract says if circumstances change, which they have, its a no go…

  4. Careful with that tax, Moonbeams.

     

     

    1 majority Tory Government in the last 5 elections.

     

     

    23 years since the last one was elected.

  5. jeez_I_thought_blinker_was_pants on

    Just like to say a big thx to the guys on the blog who gave me advice on pubs in Derry, people were smashin too. Only downside was the Bloody Sunday museum was closed at the weekend.

     

    If any CQN’rs are thinking of going to the Brandywell game, you’ll have a blast

  6. Who was it That Said….SNP will win not one, not one , seat from labour….cmon Who was it….

  7. It is as if they are airbrushing the news completely.

     

     

    Or did I just imagine that the Rangers board released a statement earlier tonight re the votes not being all in by any stretch and highlighted no certainties.

     

     

    Did I just imagine Ashley about to draw down additional loan as it is needed urgently ?

     

     

    North Korea has no chance up against the king MSM bandwagon in their desperation to believe in some kind of saviour.

     

     

    You really would think they might learn sometime.

    I’m disappointed now I thought they were all neganon.

     

     

    Same old crap about bigotry and sectarianism. Big bad prods out to get us,everyone of them.

     

  9. Ronny said on tv that in Norway his team went 48 home games without defeat….he wants to beat that here….love im #RonnyConvert….RC…

  10. What is the Stars on

    Bgx

     

    I think ronny says more than his prayers

     

    Bit of a fantasist really. Said he was going to play fast attacking football. Still waiting☺☺☺

  11. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

    Think he’ll find the majority of bigots in this country overwhelmingly voted no!

     

     

     

    Their mindset is stuck in centuries past, not unlike scottish labour.

    21:37 on 3 March, 2015**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.

     

     

    surely he is better than Notts Cty….

  13. Not true.

     

     

    England voted for a Conservative majority Government in 2010, but got a Coalition Government.

  14. I think Ronny, with the League all but wrapped up, will give others a chance to play their way into his plans, especially with the Silverware coming.

     

     

    If Emilio is still out, perhaps Mubarak will be given the slot at left back. Who knows?

     

     

    I think Mubarak is a tough tackling player that could certainly do a job, I’m sure Ronny is working very hard with him, to give him every chance to be a “Ronny” player, even though he has hardly played so far. ;))

  15. Geordie. Christine graham yes. If your are denying the intent you are reaching and you need to ask yourself why you are doing that.

     

     

    Quonno welcome back. Great to hear from you. Not sure I agree but you ahve better grasp of the details than I for that period!

  17. Do Do Roo, Do do roo roo, do do roo, do do roo roo..

     

    WHATS That tune called..

     

    HELP….

  18. !!Bada Bing!!

     

     

    He’s been unlucky with 3 crap managers. Manager who brought him in at Barnsley was sacked, new guy didn’t play him, club relegated. Hyypia dropped him at Brighton, got sacked after dreadful results, and the new broom obviously sees him as surplus to requirements.

     

     

    He needs a manager who believes in him – hopefully he’s got that in Shaun Derry.

  19. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

    He’s got nothing to be negative about on the football front ;)

  20. Geordie Munro on

    “Geordie. Christine graham yes. If your are denying the intent you are reaching and you need to ask yourself why you are doing that.”

     

     

     

    Neganon,

     

     

    Ah the ol intent card.

    In this day and age a vote for Labour will get you a right wing goverment, as will a vote for the SNP they are as right wing as anyone.

     

    Pity peole here in Scotland still cling to the hope that we will witness a U turn of biblical portortions and the Labour Party will rediscover it’s original ideals and principles.

    “The snps told you they passed the OB act to equalise. To criminalise celtic supporters.”

     

    One member of the justice commitee actually said something along those lines, but hey let’s just pass it off as SNP policy, do you think I could find comments from individual Labour Party MP’s and state their comments were official policy?

     

    I’d get shot down in flames and would deserve to be. Try sticking to the actual facts you have no reason to use anything else.

  22. Johnnyrwmbo67 well your quiz was as successful as I suspected. And your point was probably even less successful.

     

     

    What you need to do is ask yourself why you are clinging on to you your own beliefs?
