“Old Firm game for Wembley”. Heaven help us. I don’t doubt International Champions Cup owner, Charlie Stillitano, has a sharp eye for what he could turn into a commercial success, but there can be fewer worse ideas in the history of sporting endeavour.
So many things could go wrong with such a fixture, some would go wrong, and the contagion would spread to Celtic. There’s no mention in any coverage of this item that Celtic have been consulted at any level, so I’m assuming they were as surprised as the rest of us at the moment (they were at a similar suggestion of a game in Australia a few years ago).
Stillitano cites hosting Manchester City-Manchester United in Beijing later this year as being something of an approximation. It’s not. I suggest he looks to somewhere deep in the Monglian hinterland for a venue for a Glasgow derby of this nature. Even then I would decline.

Although, you were the only one who got the devilment:)

One of the best things I ever learned at school came from a pal of mine whose mantra was :
“Agh, anything for a laugh.”
I kid you not.

If the judge states that MASH merely being club shareholders didn’t give them a position to challenge SFA in court it might be important. That’s what I think they’re hoping for.
The specifically made a point about this, outside of the comments about Celtic.
My friends in Celtic.
Why do many ordinary workers employ taxation accountants. ( Building Contractors, Taxi Drivers etc )
Wives employed as secretary, car through the business, pay themselves minimum wage, not even living wage. Blah, blah
All legal ways to save them money. But ultimately it deprives the exchequer.
So before any attacks on aspiration is contemplated I would like to see these legal, but wrong tactics addressed.
Down with all accountants.
Hail, Hail.
Weeminger,
Any decision by the judge can be challenged

Writes the man who decries ad-hominems.
Against himself.
=======================================================
Well spotted.
Dead right .
Fairly understandable though when in response to ” ad hominems ” contra su mismo from the gentleman in question.
Wouldn`t that be reasonable ?
Or should I turn the other cheek ?
Quonno,
I think to question signing Zheng-Zhi is just plain wrong. Think of the amount of times we needed him to save the day, even after he had left the club!

‘So tragic its almost funny.’
The tragi-comedy is that you have chosen to live in New York.
The hub of capitalism.
“He voted with his feet.”
________________________________________________________________
The posts on CQN today about capitalism and tax rates, today of all days, were so tragic to be almost funny.
My decision to live in NY is a tragi-comedy? If I had chosen to live on Wall St or The City of London (the hubs of Corporate Global Capitalism), you might be making a relevant point. You might not get this but where I chose to live is because of its diversity, energy, community and socialism. Yes socialism.
I have to get on with some work for a few hours but I take it you voted with your feet too?
Or do you still live with your mammie?
PjBhoynyc.
You want a socialist place to live and so you chose New York?
Okaaaayyy….

Makes it worthwhile:)

Are you saying we could have spent transfer budget more wisely? ;)

I make no comment on how the money was spent. wisely or unwisely.

James believes a move back to the patient passing game that Rodgers preferred in his Swansea days would be unwise. He believes the Swans need to be more direct and inject some much-needed pace into what they do.
“Swansea were hugely successful under Rodgers, playing a patient possession game,” James added.
“But the game has moved on. Teams have worked out how to play against that type of keep-ball style.
They thunder after you in midfield, winning the ball back by denying players time. Sides that are most successful at the moment rely on pace – and that’s a major thing missing from the Swansea team at the moment.
Aside from Jefferson Montero and Mo Barrow — neither of which started at Leicester on Sunday — Swansea have no-one that’s particularly rapid. Compare that to Leicester who will win the title based on a game that revolves around speed. It’s the same story at Spurs, Leicester’s rivals for the championship.”
Interesting points about where the game is going after the Barca dominated years. We are behind the curve as usual. Next appointment is a huge one. I really hope we don’t go for an old school type nor a pure tiki-taka type. And we really lack players with speed. Only Boyata, Forrest, Roberts, Janko and Tierney seem to have real pace.
Surely judge should have asked what the hell all this had to do with Celtic.
Have been posting for months that there is still a lot of knuckle crunching and goat abusing to be done.
MACJAY,
How easily you admit you’re a hypocrite. And think nothing of it.
O tempora, o mores!

New York is noted for it`s socialism ?
You learn something new every day.
“Or do you still live with your mammie?”
“A hit. A palpable hit.”
Unless , of course…….
Nah.Never mind.
SFA seem mighty desperate to avoid any examination of its conduct and procedures since the liquidation of its favourite club.
Wonder why?
I mentioned many moons ago that Ashley would not see his case through to the bitter end. Sad to have guessed it right though.
Perhaps we stand alone again but stand we must. HH

Quonno,

Zheng Zhi !………….left the club…..!? ………When!? ……naebody told me!
Brendan Rodgers,another failure.Look at the difference in the Liverpool team since he got the bullet.Just my opinion ,not putting any store by these lazy assed journalists who cant be bothered to do their job properly.
Roberto Di Matteo,mentioned briefly at the weekend.Said he would be interested,but not been approached at present.CL winning manager.Now we are talking.
The Argentinian,Di Matteo,guys you will never hear about from Jacko and friends.
Apart from stating that Oldco would be liquidated.
Which many knew anyway.
Some freelance journalists and bloggers have been wrong on almost everything.
They are increasingly being made to look inept and amateur.
This blog has been used by some to promote their own form of lazy journalism.
We were led to believe that there would be stripping of titles.
That there couldn’t possibly be a same club myth.
At times we were led to believe administration 2 would occur.
We have been led to believe King would be smashed by Ashley.
That they wouldn’t be able to survive due to cash flow and the lack of available credit.
It’s all been bullshit and wishful thinking.
Nothing will come of resolution 12 either.
There will always be a form of the Rangers .
They will be our mortal enemies unless one of “The Old Firm” leaves the other one behind and moved off to pastures new.
Oh , and there’s another myth.
There is no longer an “Old Firm.”
What a lot of crap.
As I stated a couple of days ago .
Not long now until Peter has his “Rangers are back and we are ready for the challenge ” ,interview with Jim White on Sky.
We have all been guilty of too much wishful thinking and being gullible .
And there are those that have sought to fuel their own ego’s and raise their personal profiles on the back of it .
TT
Weeminger,
Nothing more than expected, a judge making a decision about a shareholder of a holding company is not the same, and they were clear it is a holding company not the club :)
MACJAY,
But what about;
“Ach, anything for a laugh”
one of the best things you ever learned at school?
I’m comparing my morals to yours, of course.
“Now it’s still Winter and we’re well past Lent”.
