The stage is set. Dundee United, the club who were last to beat Celtic, stand in the way of their treble ambitions, as the clubs meet on three consecutive occasions next month. The first game, a Scottish Cup quarter final at Tannadice, is the most crucial.
United lost their best two players last week but they remain they will know that beating Celtic at home will make them favourites for the Scottish Cup. They will be far less confident at the following week’s League Cup final, Dundee United expectations are always low at Hampden, but pressure will be on the club to win their home game.
A note on the suitability or otherwise of a director of a public company. In the UK, only the courts can ban you from being a company director, HMRC cannot ban you, any more than they can ban you from driving. In the UK, public companies are held to a higher standard than private companies. If anyone presents to you claiming, “HMRC have never banned me from driving/being a company director”, you know your being misled. The same is true for most jurisdictions.
The AIM market requires companies to have nominated adviser (nomad), which carries out regulator duties on behalf of the market, and ultimately shareholders. The fact that UK, or other, courts have not prohibited you from being a company director implies nothing about your suitability as a director of a public company. When it comes to the AIM market, this suitability is judged by your effective regulator, your nomad. A recent history of financial criminal activity, for example, will give your nomad plenty to consider, as would a recent history of being a director in a liquidated public company. Far more would decline such a candidate than approve.

So Elbows gets off scot free again.
I keep hearing phrases like ” before he does damage”, well that is already happened.
Last year he broke the cheekbone of a Forfar player, with not even a booking. Also during the game with Alloa he elbowed to the head of Liam Buchanan which again received no booking. Buckie got up and continued the game and was on a 8 goal scoring streak, which Alloa came back to win 3-2. The following day he was at the doctors complaining off severe headaches. He was diagnosed with concussion, therefore unavailable for 2 weeks and hasn’t scored since. Often concussion is delayed, not instantly apparent, and another blow to the head could be fatal. It is only through luck that he has not struck a fatal blow, yet the SFA, who are well aware, turn a blind eye. God forbid something serious did happen our governing bodies would be culpable.

Spot-on, and well said.

Thanks lefty
ole BSR in a remake of ‘Death Wish’; in which the hero goes on a crusade for albient lenient justice.
…instead of blowin’ the bad guys brains out with the ole dum dum bullet he buys them a season ticket for Sevco.
Maybe not so lenient, on reflection.

Was it George Peat? Sounds like him. I wonder where he is now. Running a bowling club somewhere no doubt.

Highly illustrative way to look at EPL rights prices… Over £10m per game… Crazy

Out of curiosity what number was your relative wearing playing for Thistle last night.
STV website stating that McCulloch has been offered a two match ban. If I were him I’d go for a hearing and look for a “not proven”
Mickbhoy1888 have you fleeced any of our Irish fans again recently you are never a Celtic man

27% of total TV spending in the UK will now go to showing the EPL, which is only watched by 0.5% of the population.
Elbows offered 2 match ban for stamping –
1 match immediate & 1 in Scottish Cup.
He’ll be 37 in May so Cup ban a joke ??

I saw a report that for a few EPL matches it would have been cheaper for SKY to buy tickets for everyone watching at home…

Lucky he never called someone a f&&@y then he would be in real trouble…
BB – yup, still here for a few more minutes – just leaving work.
BT say they are spending £7.6M per game.
For Stoke v Sunderland that’s excellent value.
Sorry BB – I see that you meant NYCBhoy. HH

If Last Of The Summer Wine had that money, they could hire Christina Hendricks to play Nora Batty. (thumbsup)

I would have to agree with you here Teg.

Magazine is slow to download completely on my iPad here in the States.
Two articles appear side by side at first glance, then jump to a singular string after aprox. 5 seconds.
One, or two images accompanying the articles are not not loading at all, but this could be an issue with buffering, as attempted loading was still happening after five minutes, or so.
Advertising banners seem to be loading fine.

Just imagine for a moment that McCulloch had actually put someone in hospital (or worse), would the SFA feel regret, since they have been complicit by negligence in allowing him to be taking the field? As my auld Dad said only yesterday, McCulloch should have been sine died long ago.
