In many places it would be practically inconceivable that someone could be employed in this position:
And get away with running rubbish like this on a back page cover:
But then you see more and get a picture of the organisation involved:
The Record have been caught displaying their inner culture and will no doubt be forced into a remedial action, but getting caught was just misfortune. The culture exists and has informed articles for years. They have gone too far down this road to even begin to understand what they’ve done to a once-strong demographic.
An echo reached me from 2012 today, which illuminated yesterday’s article. As the SPL debated serious issues in 2012, a consensus emerged on what subsequently took place. There were hold-outs to the new majority, however.
One director of a club near Glasgow (no guesses, now) made his position clear: “I’m not signing up to any f****** Celtic rulebook.”
The comment met with incredulity, as the Celtic rulebook wasn’t part of the conversation. Fans and clubs across the country came to the same conclusion about how our game should proceed. It was no more the Celtic rulebook than the Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs rulebook, but prejudices occasionally seep out when people don’t get what they want.
This is what we’re up against. They are still out there, writing articles for the paying public, or voting on the future of our game.
As for the Celtic rulebook, I’ve seen it. It contains one page and only three words: “Pay your bills.” That doesn’t sound like much but remarkably, it may deliver 20-in-a-row. I hope others don’t start to copy us.

JFK appointed Robert Mc Namara .
Zero experience in holding public office.
No doubt would have been accused at the time of being an Irish buddy.

It was. And because JFK placed his brother Robert as Attourney General, a law was introduced later to ban the promotion of an relatives to any executive post.

Wild Card
Around the start of May you can expect to hear that Morrissey 23rd has started hitching a lift to Lisbon
Estimated number of fans overall in Lisbon on 25th May?
Best estimate so far is between 1500 – 2000 but I think that will rise sharply once we get January by us.

A few years back, a friend from my childhood, Father Bacon was being terrorised by bricks and bullets on a nightly basis in Saint Laurence Parish Drumchapel. It near wrecked him as a man. Scum start wi eggs then stones.
Absolutely love this track, Alo, from Italian duo Heroin in Tahiti. Brilliantly simple, but dramatic video:

IMO had the Clintons and the corrupt democrats not stolen the the nomination from Bernie, we wouldn’t be having Trump as president
*nae chance, he’s a 74 year old socialist and it widnae be because of his age. anyway his tea was oot when the trumpet called him a commie.

Finbar Furey tribute on RTE at the moment. MON one of of the guests. Small bit of chat about Celtic.
Finbar says ” We have to fly the flag for Celtic wherever we go in the world”.
BRTH – That reads like a ships log of transportees fae the Hougoumont!
A rogue’s gallery if there ever was one.
Hope you all have a smashin’ time.
The LIONS took no prisoners!
Updating that list — Jesus — all three brothers in the one place?
No sure we will have a big enough swear box ……. will have to borrow ACGR’s — it masquerades as a truck!

That’s some list :-) The CQN Lisbon Army is growing.
With the direct flight from Edinburgh now quite expensive, folks should consider other routes via Dublin, Madrid and London which are still reasonably priced They can then tell their other half, they have saved a fortune.

Other flight options from Manchester with Ryan air and also look at at least getting out to Lisbon via Amsterdam and flying from there to Lisbon with Transavia.
I suggested to ACGR the other night
Edinburgh – Amsterdam (Easyjet)
Ams – Lisbon (Transavia)
Lisbon – Luton (Easyjet)
Luton – Edinburgh (Easyjet)
There are plans in play for the nights of the 24th and 25th and I am trying to get a handle on numbers for some kind of meal or whatever on the 23rd.
I have a few of ideas but prefer some to others

I was at the 5-1 gubbin at Ibrox when Tore Andre Anewone scored after his £12m signing. I walked out there that day fuming that there would be a day.
In retrospect that was in the midst of their massive cheating. I hope that day of reckoning beckons soon. Tired waiting
I would be grateful to my fellow CQN’rs if you could offer a prayer for my older brother who has just been diagnosed as being in the final stage of a Terminal illness. Thank you
