Michel Platini’s Financial Fair Play initiative at Uefa has been one of the more inspiring developments at the top of our game for decades. It brought spending into line with income throughout the English game and punished what Platini called financial doping.
It has been so effective, Platini now promises to relax the rules. The blame does not all sit with Platini. Uefa are dealing with 10 legal challenges to the rules, with complainant clubs citing European Law in their defence. The big football powers are split. The English appear in favour of FPP (Manchester City aside), while many stressed clubs across Europe are in opposition.
The concept of living within your means is still resisted in our game, not just in barred hold-outs in Scotland.

Hello Bhoys! Have I missed anything?
Reading back, I find it incredible in this overload of readily-available information day and age that there are amongst us, ‘Celtic’ men who somehow contrive to blame every Hun episode of mendacity not to their liking upon Celtic, Celtic PLC, Celtic supporters and anyone basically who is not them and their ill-founded, blindly-ignorant paucity of an opinion.
Green Huns, the lot of them. My weans greet less about perceived injustice, and can at least eventually temper their outbursts by application of logic and reason.
What’s going on at Mordor and the SFA is not the fault of Celtic or anyone connected with Celtic. And Celtic could not ‘bury’ the Huns or anytihng close to it; this is not the f’cking school playgroud; read up on a little business methodology before you go screeching like the witchfinder general in Blackadder.
This is Scotland. There is, was, and always will be bigotry and that bigotry will always seek an outlet. There was always going to be a HUN incarnation in a football strip providing the figure head.
If you think anything else was possible then you are an idiot.
There is money to be made from the hundreds of thousands of mindless savages who populate the dens of iniquity in this mental wee country.
Somebody was always going to come along and milk it for what they can get.
Be thankful that somebody is Dave King.
Celtic began taking care of business ten years ago when we dropped out of the arms race. Celtic learned to operate at a level the Zombies will envy until their next implosion.
We are fully capable now of standing alone against the venemous charlatans in the establishment and MSM who will force the shambolic Hun entity upon us should they navigate Hibs and Murderwell.
Let them try to topple us; they’ll bust themselves again before they get within spear-chucking distance of Paradise.
Celtic’s main concern is Celtic, and the way in which Celtic is perceived as a club, a company and a brand.Getting involved in parochial wee squabbles and finger-pointing and statement issuing about every devious move our enemies make to undermine us is exactly what the Huns and their desperate acolytes want; dragging Celtic down to their pitiful level.
We don’t need that anymore. We don’t need them any more. Jock Stein told you years ago how to beat them – keep winning, scoring more goals than them; on and off the park, now.
You might get peeved at some media-trumpeted Hun ‘victory’, but wise up and look at the bare bones of it; they’re nothing to us anymore. The best they can hope for is to be a shadow of what we are. And that will take them either enough upfront debt to invite another liquidation, or a decade of development and winning titles regularly, which won’t happen while Celtic are in the position we currently occupy.
But blaming Celtic, or Celtic people for your own greivances with them? Get yer f’cking act together and man up.
Forza The Hoops!

I respect you big time, you speak from the heart, and your post there was from the heart.
Sorry to disagree with you, but what are we doing allowing ourselfs to be cheated ?
Where is the fight, why are we letting them away with cheating us ?
Are we to be confined to this sectarian hell for as long as we don’t fight back ?
Would our founders have given in so meekly ?
Sorry mi amigo, I can’t, today was the end for me, no more, I need not the stress nor the bollix, a couple of years and we will be back where they think we belong, mark my words on that.
And I am no an idiot :-)

….PFayr supports WeeOscar @ 21:59
‘Empirically King is both unfit and improper
The game is up bhoys ….anything to facilitate the club formerly known as Rangers
Scottish football is an embarrassment …both on and off the field’
Aye…just hand over yer money to a Celtic board of millionaires, including a clutch of billionaires who’ll, look the other way when your being cheated by the etablishment….sure, why not.
Would the Jungle have had nothing to say had, the Celtic board looked the other way when….the cheating huns were granted a licence to let them back into football again without so much as a glove being landed on them in terms of….paying back the £140 million that they stole?
Would the Jungle have had nothing to say when, after being dumped on by LNS….the board said – “We’re surprised!”….that was it!
Would the Jungle not have been embarrassed into taking action against the Celtic board when….Aberdeen fans waved a banner saying – “Your Silence Is Deafening.”
Would the Jungle have been ‘kettled’ by the cops?
Would the Jungle not have reacted to PL’s comments about…”We’ll come out of every tranfer window, stronger than when we went in.”….then, didn’t do it?
Why did Fergus not deal with the SFA-bent-game-to-suit-the huns…until his last days in office when, he new within weeks that the game was bent when he was told that…”He’ll have to pay the rental fee for hiring Hampden for one year as, he wouldn’t be allowed to part-build Celtic Park, unless he only wanted to play Gealic football.”….yet, Fergus waited until his last days in office before taking out Farry. Was it because, his departing money – £40 million, paid for by Celtic fans buying shares…would have been affected? Was his going away money more important than, emptying the SFA and, getting a level-playing field for Celtic? What price for Fergus’s soup?….aye.
Anyway…..bottom line is – No Jungle – No Celtic fight back.
The Celtic board’s meek kow-towing after the ‘shame-game’ will now come round full circle to bite innocent Celtic supporters on the jacksie.
Will you be daft enough to buy into that?
That’s it.
……oot.

On a lighter note, how are things?
To be honest I had feared the worst about the Ibrox Conman for a while.
Anyway, hope Mrs TET is well.

Oh no, it’s a fat laddie. Campbell Ogilvie, the grand master shafter of Scottish football. Season ticket renewal deadline today. Could you turn around and drop your pants again?

I’ve been trying this week to get The Quads to come out of early retirement and do a gig at The Crosskeys, Wishaw. If you want more of this, I might be able to?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1TpTFo3cgM
lymmbhoy,
Thanks for that.
It would be great to have a band like that here in Dublin next year.
We have no money, nor are we looking for money.
Just the best weekend.

The corruption, as always is blinding like the sun.No surprise that they gave the green light to the Castlemilk-born tycoon, it was always going to happen.
What I do find somewhat astonishing though is this latest MIB charade.
Bringing Calum MIB Murray out of retirement,and allowing him to take charge of a game of that is of huge importance to the survival of the club that he supports?
That simply beggars belief, if true.
Incredible.
HH.
“Celtic winning 10 Scottish Premiership titles in a row is sum of all fears.”
Unfortunately for the zombies, Celtic are holding all the aces, simple as that.
The Castlemilk-born tycoon is prepared to gamble £200million,in an attempt to prevent the Champions achieving the Ten.
Is that right?
I’m sure old Dermot Desmond understands the gambling game as well as anyone.
Rule numero uno – Never gamble with scared money.
It’s a racing certainty that this is all going to end in tears.
And those tears won’t be Celtic’s.
They are petrified.
:D

Thanks for confirming that Lymmbhoy.
Diabolical and desperate decision to give MIB Murray the gig.

Interesting listening to SSB.
What I laughed at is the links to the managers they think they can attract coming out of Guidi’s gob, and that if the Mullet wins promotion that’s quite something to have on your CV! Really?
I’m most looking forward to Ashley’s next move(s)!
12 of the finest (unintentional) double-entendres ever aired on British TV and radio
1. Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator ‘And this is Gregoriava from
Bulgaria . I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing!’
2. New Zealand Rugby Commentator ‘Andrew Mehrtens loves it when Daryl
Gibson comes inside of him.’
3. Ted Walsh – Horse Racing Commentator : ‘This is really a lovely
horse. I once rode her mother.’
4. Harry Carpenter at the Oxford-Cambridge boat race 1977 ‘Ah, isn’t
that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the cox of the Oxford crew.’
5. US PGA Commentator – ‘One of the reasons Arnie [Arnold> > Palmer]
is playing so well is that, before each tee shot, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them….. Oh my god!! What have I just said??’
6. Carenza Lewis about finding food in the Middle Ages on ‘Time Team
Live’ said: ‘You’d eat beaver if you could get it.’
7. A female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn’t, turned to the weatherman and asked, ‘So Bob, where’s that eight inches you promised me last night?’ Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, because they were laughing so hard!
8. Steve Ryder covering the US Masters:
‘Ballesteros felt much better today after a 69 yesterday.’
9. Clair Frisby talking about a jumbo hot dog on Look North said: ‘There’s nothing like a big hot sausage inside you on a cold night like this.’
10 Mike Hallett discussing missed snooker shots on Sky Sports ‘Stephen Hendry jumps on Steve Davis’s misses every chance he gets.’
11. Michael Buerk on watching Phillipa Forrester cuddle up to a male astronomer for warmth during BBC1’s UK eclipse coverage remarked: ‘They seem cold out there, they’re rubbing each other and he’s only come in his shorts.’
12. Ken Brown commentating on golfer Nick Faldo and his caddie Fanny
Sunneson lining-up shots at the Scottish Open: ‘Some weeks Nick likes to use Fanny, other weeks he prefers to do it by himself.’

Good Morning CQN
Notwithstanding a banner that says “Your Silence is Deafening”, what, exactly, have Aberdeen fans done – at all – with regard to the current situation in Scottish football? So far as I am aware, a big fat nothing – talk is cheap. But, we should do something before the whole thing implodes. What to do is the 64k# question (sorry, couldn’t find a dollar sign…)! Is there any mileage in the Celtic Trust mounting a legal challenge against the SFA? I for one would be more than happy to contribute. Enjoy your day, work calls.

for those vowing not to renew their season books –
i suppose you thought it was a level playing field when you first bought it ?
which planet have you been living on ?

Is it a quiz? I’ll go for “We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files”. ;-)
Calum Murray – Bought and paid for.
Prediction: I can see a red card or two coming the way of the Hibees…Every red will make sure it’s not only this game coming but the return leg as well.

For Winning Captains….or anyone else who can put this together
Any chance of you putting a syndicate together whereby we can donate 20 quid online for the purpose of betting on the huns getting a penalty or the Hibees getting a man sent off with a percentage (say 50%) of the the money being donated to charity….and if it all comes to pass any winnings go to charity too.
I’m sure the bookies would love this…and it would highlight the obvious too
Anyone up for this?

Very well said

Thanks again.

Bankiebhoy
Love it.
The only thing is for me is that I do not believe there is too big a gap to be bridged.
Aberdeens challenge this season shows that if a team can be the best of the rest they may not be too far away from us.
IF our 4 wins against Aberdeen had been littered with the level of cheating that we have seen issued when they really want to, that gap would not have been there.
Can The Rangers be better than Aberdeen?
Twice the resources from stadium capacity so thats a start and with the cheating, well, we have seen what can be achieved.
Like i said….love your post.
Bring them on if needs be.
Good morning CQNers,
The SFA must publicise their reasoning for passing Dave King as a ‘fit and proper’ person otherwise they leave themselves open to ridicule and suspicion.
