Jack, Kris and Marvin

412

I’ve loved the coverage Jack Hendry and Kris Ajer received for their international appearances over the break.  The situation in central defence is fluid, with Jozo Simunovic, Dedryck Boyata and (on loan) Erik Sviatchenko each with questions to answer, Jack and Kris have to be considered as having an equal chance of starting the Scottish Cup semi-final.

The thing I’m most looking forward to is seeing Marvin Compper fully fit.  There can be no doubt that Brendan sees Marvin as a crucial element in developing younger players around him, in particular with an eye on the Champions League qualifiers.

Saturday’s home game against Ross County is a perfect opportunity to give Marvin a start, while resting one of the international travellers.  Let’s hope he plays.

    DD,

     

     

    No doubt, but when those contracts were signed, they were considered a legit way of paying players.

     

    I imagine many clubs in England were doing the same thing.

     

    Vialli insisting in being paid Netto, e.g.

     

    It took the Supreme Court last year to finally nail the tax question.

     

    It was the way Murray operated the scheme, that apparently caused their problem, according to the adult cinematic inclined lawyer.

     

     

    As an individual, I reckon most people, certainly those without a CA as a relative, would have taken the enhanced pay packet, with an added indemnity from his employer.

     

     

    What could go wrong?

     

     

    I maintain that the tax question is not our main grip.

     

     

    It was the dual contracts, one of which was not submitted to the SFA that remains the bone of contention.

     

    That is where the damage was done.

     

     

    RFC obviously knew that they were at it, as, why else withhold the Full Monty, but the players were reassured that everything was Hunky Dory.

     

    The EBTs are a Red Mullet. a distraction from the crimes of the SFA.

     

     

    Paying the players wasn’t against SFA rules. Not disclosing was.

  3. PaddyPower has serious previous and as a company shouldn’t hide behind the random racist views of some of its staff members.

     

     

    Good time for Celtic punters to switch to DafaBet anyway.

  4. Kris Ajer’s dad was reputedly a big Hollywood fan.

     

     

    It was while repeatedly watching this sequence that he learned to run….(or was that me?) :)

  5. I’m sure the Russians will be pleased to hear that their WMD Novichok is sh!t to the power of 2.

     

    So far it looks like 2 out of 3 people recover from it. What was it the weapons expert said on Channel 4 the other night, ˋIf Chlorine is considered as baseline 1 then Novichok is 500,000´?

     

    Give me Domestos any day of the week.

    Starting next season, Uefa changing rules to (i) allow an extra substitute in extra time, and (ii) allow players who have played for one team, to play for the new team if transferred in January window.

    True

     

    The fact that ragers 1872 could hand out contracts to so many players over such a lengthy period of time in this fashion ,leaves no one in any doubt that peepil at the SFA knew what was going on .

     

     

    CO received one FGS

     

     

    The fact that the WTC has been ignored completely ,tells us all we need to know about any probe or inquiry into the whole debacle .

     

     

    THE LIES

     

    THE CHEATING

     

    THE PEEPIL IN THE RIGHT PLACES

     

    THE COVER UPS

     

    THE SECRET DEALS

     

    THE SECRET MEETINGS

     

    THE SECRET AGREEMENTS

     

    THE FARCICAL INQUIRIES

     

    THE REWRITING OF HISTORY

     

     

    I used to think it was just the refs that were corrupt ,oh how wrong I was

    apparently, there have been 700,000 (!!!) applications for tickets for the upcoming Peru-Scotland friendly in a stadium that holds 50,000 … see what happens when a country actually qualifies for a tournament!

    Agree. And you are correct this is not our main focus of contention. In my opinion your whole post is spot on.

     

     

    I would wager many wealth creators in the CQN ranks employ taxation accountants to minimise their tax burden.

    I only went about with him for a few years , but for a guy that did not drink he was a feckin nutcase, he would argue black was white.

    Tontine Loved your Kirkton Flats.

     

     

    *Loved that job, bought oul Ronnie’s book “Sure It’s a Grand Old Team to Play For”, in one of the huts, punter walked in with a box full of them, which was a Christmas present tae myself. Job like most building sites was full of Tims and not just the navvies.

     

     

    Didnae have a good memory of Scotstounhill Station until then. A few years before I had just started at Stow College (one week a month) and was familiar with that part of Glasgow, Saturday mornings on the 8:30 train and exiting at North Frederick Street as we headed tae Bremners via George Square had conditioned me for it, so lunch times in the toon included visits tae Lewis’s record department in the basement.

     

     

    So one Saturday morning, no having a game myself that day myself and instead of going tae a game I decided tae go up the toon tae buy “Freewheelin”, I had just discovered Mr. Zimmerman.

     

     

    I had the good tin flute on as I took the bus tae Alexandria Station, while waiting there I met a wee bluenose I had just got tae know, he was going intae Dumbarton, however, on hearing where I was going asked if he could come with me.

     

     

    Just as the train was approaching the strains of “Hail Hail” could be heard, it was my mates going tae the game, now we were on quite a good wee run at the time, would shortly be playing Barca in the Fairs Cities Cup and would meet the huns in the LC Final the following week having just beat them 5 weeks previously.

     

     

    “Going tae the game Tontine, “naw going up the toon shopping, no dressed for it anyway, nae scarf on”. “Ok have a wee gargle at this”, by the time we reached Queen Street I’m going tae Parkheid instead and we convinced our wee bluenose pal Jock who most of them knew tae come with us albeit with a wee bit of a protest.

     

     

    It was a good game which we won 4-1 against the Buddies, we were 3 up within 15 minutes before wee diehard bear gemmell, he of the super Argie goal fame, pulled one back. One of the highlights was the debut of loan bhoy Irish international Joe Havetry who we widnae sign, the reason given was we had enough cover for the left wing position or if the truth be told we probably didnae have the 3 grand in the biscuit tin.

     

     

    On leaving the ground we heard that deidco had tied 1-1 at swinecastle, they were on a poor run at the time, apart from losing tae us they also lost up at Dens Park and home tae the Hibbees shipping 4 goals in that game and tieing with the Maryhill Magyars and now calvinists. Hibs incidentally would also beat them at Easter Road and knock them out of the SC in the quarters at the same venue, the Burnbank miner was at the helm the, the SC game being his last before coming back tae his spiritual home.

     

     

    Anyway, we were all in a good mood as we headed back tae the Vale, sitting in the wee compartment and singing songs, nae swearing and nae sectarian singing or rebel songs in deference tae wee Jock. Incidentally, although the parental side of his family were DOBs within a couple of years his sister would get married in Our Lady and St Marks and his younger brother would go tae games home and away with us, and he could sing the rebs lol.

     

     

    When the train pulled intae Scotstoun this woman, and I use the phrase lightly, got up tae leave and made a disparaging remark tae us, she was greeted with abuse but again nae swearing.

     

     

    At Yoker Station a porter got on and stood guard outside the carriage door only allowing exit tae those other passengers there, and then at Dalmuir we were hauled off and taken tae the nearest polis station.

     

     

    They took our names and scolded us getting ready tae let us go, however they had called Alexandria station and were told one of our party had a string of convictions as long as his wee arm. Now I was at school with him and he wisnae a bad lad, just daft stuff like nicking cream cookies fae the Co-operative Bakery, breach of the peace and the favourite drunk and uncatchable.

     

     

    On the Monday night, although I plead innocence, I was charged in front of my parents with a breach and then took off for night school not before my da took my cup final ticket off me, my mother goes in the opposite direction up tae Googybhoy’s house as his da was a JP at the time.

     

     

    The upshot was he told her tae tell me tae plead guilty, nae big deal we would probably get our knuckles wrapped, actually we we re fined a county down and after it she bought me a new pair of shoes in the shop on Kilbowie Road opposite Patsy Gallacher’s pub, still trying tae fathom that out.

     

     

    Oh aye and we were cheated once again at hampden in the final, my da had given me back the ticket but only if I promised tae go up on the St Kessog’s BG bus, and went on a tail spin that lasted until word got out the Big Mhan was coming back.
