  1. Longmuir & Ballantyne Hmmmmmmmmmm

     

    Is anyone in the slightest bit suprised that things are dodgy with this pair (allegedly)

  2. celtic were out numbered about 3 to 1 in Dublin, which is not bad considering Scottish football is undesirable. the problem is Irish boys in the south grow up with an EPL team (first) and have a wee soft spot for the hoops. the spfl will never match the EPL, however, the CL dwarfs the ELP and celtic can get exposure to a wider audience via that particular tournament. the CL’s value to celtic far exceeds the prize money.

     

     

    the spfl is poor because the english league is given monies from us in Scotland, as tax payers (t.v licence) and subscription to sky sports etc… which is then given directly to the english leagues, while our football is given a fraction of its true value, which impoverishes our league further (a double edged sword if you like).

     

     

    If the spfl is serious about making our league better and more desirable it should be developing its own television channel etc… where Scottish football fans can buy Scottish football from one source. I would hazard a conservative guess that 500k people watch Scottish football, pro, semi-pro and amateur, its our national sport and remains our main passion. if we could get grow a t.v viewing pool of

     

     

    150k at £12 per month: £21.6 million per year

     

    3000 pubs £200 per month: £7.2 million per year

     

    advertising on channel: £5 million per year

     

    Highlight packages add: £3 million per year

     

    radio £350k per year

     

    international t.v sales: £3 million per year

     

     

    celtic vs. sevco game is watched by 1 million or so people so a pay per view 4 times per year of 500k people at £12 = £24 million

     

     

    total income: £64 million less expenses. a 44 million split after expenses rather than £13 million. who’s to say a t.v channel dedicated to spfl would not be able to grow further as I say Scotland is passionate about football, has one of the biggest old clubs in the world and one of the biggest new clubs in the world.

     

     

    33 million for premier league

     

    6 million for championship

     

    3 million for 1st division

     

    2 million for 2nd division

     

     

    still relatively small numbers but shared in a small pool of clubs it could make a huge difference to the landscape of Scottish football, in that our clubs would be able to build teams and hold onto their top players and/ or sell them at a true reflection of their value.

     

     

    distribute 50% of all clubs commercial i.e. prize money, t.v. money etc… euro football profit into a premier euro pot to be shared with all clubs that qualify for European football the following season

     

     

    go to a 14 team league and introduce euro play-off add a relegation spot and another relegation playoff spot.

     

     

    or we can keep taking the scraps from BT/ Sky etc… which is often reflected in the poor quality of the product which diminishes the product further. i.e. the EPL is the glamour and glitz, the spl when shown is of a poor quality and that is how it is viewed and therefore produced.

    Perhaps the reason for the mass cover up is that the gravy train riders have all been at it for years and years carving up the succulent lamb for themselves while we feed off the scraps from their table, cheaty cheaty hunmen!!

    The Stock Exchange is closed; the announcement will be along the lines of a new world record for something daft.

  7. Anyone know if New Cumnock tuped over from cumnock or was original Cumnock liquiditated. I think we deserve to know!

  8. I’m sure I read in the past mc coll has no collateral… he owes the banks more than he is worth!

     

     

    Someone posted last year that there was a link to murray and king…ie money laundering, wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t come to the fore.

    You deserve a medal and a hot bath for spending so much time on the hun sites just to bring us those gems.

     

    Nobody would believe how stupid they are but you are bringing us the evidence.

     

    Pure laugh out loud stuff.

     

    Comedy gold.

     

    Cheers

    Finnbogason ——

     

     

    Rumors ———Italia style ..

     

     

    Lazio are keen, but think the asking price is too high .

     

     

    A C Milan are keen , but think the asking price is too high ..

     

     

    Lazio think Van Basten will steer the player in the direction of Milan .

     

     

    Finnbogason is quoted —-” I’d love to play in Serie A “.

     

     

    We’ll see ——–

    I just finished it, got it as a present last time I was home and you’re right I did need the hankies, Ah Tommy we miss ye!

     

     

    Taking the Naka book on the plane to Japan, booked my flights last week, hoping to go down and see Naka play if possible my Mrs’s nephew is fitbaw mad, I got him his first Hoops a while back and will take him down a few goodies when I go.

     

     

    Hope you and yours are well Mate..

  14. GlassTwoThirdsFull on

    Administration has never been mentioned by the directors, McCoist said. “I’d hope if it was on the horizon, there would be an early warning system for us this time. Not like the last time, when we got 24 hours notice. You’d like to think we’d have a fair idea and have an opportunity to perhaps do something about it.”

     

     

    Aye it was only two and a half years after the great Walter said the bank was running the club!

  15. New Cumnock has produced a billionaire – allegedly!

     

     

    …or, an ex-billionaire.

     

     

    (Sir) Tom Hunter.

     

     

    Maybe it’s him!

     

     

    Maybe not.

     

     

    HH!!

    Clink\o/ – the only way to get cleaned up is with a mixture of sand and Harpic. Curiously, my wife always volunteers to do the honours.

  18. Starry give me a shout when you get here we can organise a trip to see marinos play in Yokohama

  19. starry plough

     

     

    Get Naka to sign it for you when your there. Tommy absolute legend and dignified to the end, broke my heart reading it. All good this side mate, although still looking for a job at the moment. Hope you enjoy Japan. Any chance of a visit back to your shire in the near future.

  20. mighty tim

     

     

    I would love to meet Naka, one of my favourite Hoops, I would love to see us bring in someone that can pass the ball the way that man can!

     

     

    I would love to get over to the Shire next month to see my Mum, she was two weeks in hospital again but when my daughter goes to Japan I am officially unemployed again and have to do a job search every month so we see what the Top Tim has in mind??

     

     

    If I do get over we will get together for a game and a blether..

     

     

    Hail Hail

  21. Finnbogason?

     

     

    Buy him for €5 million Pedro – sell him to Milan for €20 million in three years time, after having scored c100 goals for Celtic.

     

     

    Makes sense to me.

     

     

    HH!!

  22. We have a Nigerian priest in our parish for a few weeks.

     

     

    He was telling me this morning that he did the tour of Celtic Park during the week and he has his name on the back of the Hoops.

    You must have a strong stomach.

    More Finnbogason rumors .—–

     

     

    Sunderland offered 5 million euros and Van Basten said no .

     

     

    Van Basten has likened Finnbogason to Van Nistelrooy / Huntelaar and Jon Dal Tomasson .

     

     

    AC Milan fans with a memory have not been slow to remind Van Basten that Huntelaar and Tomasson were not the bees knees at AC Milan.
