ICC absurd fantasies

663

“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.

    I’m sure any bar to a Catholic being PM will be clearly documented in the UK Constitution…

     

    How can you document anything within an unwritten constitution?

     

    The beauty of it being unwritten is that it can be made up on the hoof.

    Just as my fatfingers put errors in my last comment…

     

     

    Jim Morrison died on the secret moonbase in 1996, just after converting to Catholicism.

     

    ——————————————-

     

    At last! We now know why Jim was never Prime Minister.

     

     

    We weren’t paranoid enough…..

    Proudbhoy,

     

     

    As far as I know with an ipod classic you can only load music to it from a library on a PC to which it is paired.

     

     

    With an IPhone or Ipad you could , as an alternative, sign up to Spotify or the like but as the Ipod has no web connectivity that’s not possible.

     

     

    You could hook the ipod up to a new PC – with ITunes loaded on it – and pair the ipod with that new PC and copy songs across having enabled disk use on the ipod before the transfer .

     

     

    BUT I’ve only done that a couple of times – it’s tricky and laborious and IMHO risky. I couldn’t talk you through it here.

     

     

    You could I’m sure find some “how to ” videos on you tube.

     

     

    Only alternatives I can think of are:-

     

     

    1 go onto your current pc if you have one , download ITunes and login if you remember your old account. You should be able to download anything you bought . If you bought ALL your music from ITunes it should all still be there but it wont help you with what you copied to the old iTunes library from your own CDS etc. You could then decide if you wanted to pair the Ipod with that library but if you did anything on the Ipod currently and not in the new library would be wiped so probably only an option if you did buy all the original music from ITunes

     

     

    2. Just accept that your music is going to be split into two places – your old Ipod and whatever you load / buy onto any new pc you have.

     

     

    Hopefully there will be someone far more techy than me who can give you more of a help.

    Thanks for further details re SFA’s latest on Res 12. I am being rude and jumping into a post directed to the Exiled Tim but the oft used phrase as enunciated by one of our most esteemed contributors to this blog comes to mind : brass neck, blow torch etc.

     

    Keep after them and the sooner that UEFA/CAS, whoever, have the submission the better. Grateful for your efforts. HH

    Ernie, you body swerved my observations about the Establishment’s attitude to the average Celtic fan aspiring to any of these positions.

     

    At the time in question, there was more chance of me winning an election against Blair than IDS.

    Useless piece of information.

     

    About four or five years ago, a restaurant in the Merchant City had a Mongolian rugby shirt hanging on the wall.

    A sweet tooth has long been my downfall as anyone who has seen me will testify.

     

     

    I’m off the drink as well, which is nearly as difficult as keepin’ off the sweeties!

    That’s exactly what I said, you seem to know what the club are doing re Res 12, no spin whatsoever

     

     

     

    Cast all you like I’m not biting .

  19. Right snooker time, later all, I REALY hope tonight’s CL semi raises the bar a bit higher than that wet fart last night, poor poor advert for the CL, I’m not sure if we should go into it?

  20. Just caught the Radio Scotland’s phone in this morning; it was about the cover up, at Hillsborough. 3 callers from Dundee nailed it, impressed by their articulation. Les Gray came on, Kaye Adams should have called him out. Les, not all police are bad etc, however, he stated there were a lot more to come out, but he wasn’t prepared to say what he meant. Total disgrace, total deflection. Operation Order out of Chaos has begun.

    Regarding Celtics hesitancy in jumping into the Res12 situation; could it be possible that in their considered opinion this is a “no-win” result. Damned if they do and damned if they don’t. If they Don’t they have the possibility of upsetting their supporters and making substantially less income. If they Do? OK, their supporters may buy SBs. However the other considerations are, if they Do, is fraught with potential unknown unpleasantness. This unpleasantness may have been forecast by some celtic fans, some celtic lawyers, some celtic shareholders, some other clubs, the police, the govt. Eventually the truth will out. Perhaps they are trying to accomplish this with less collateral damage.
