Lock up game’s tax deviants

887

The football industry is busy with its twice-a-year transfer jamboree this week but there will scarcely be a player, manager or executive in the country who isn’t daily checking on Harry Redknapp’s on-going court case into his alleged tax arrangements.

Harry, of course, is one of the game’s popular figures, everyone likes him, including me, but his evidence yesterday, that he’s been told “The problem with you is you’re named Harry and you have a cockney accent”, will have the nation pondering if he’s another victim of the systemic prejudice against white, wealthy, indigenous-named, senior and successful people from London.  There must surely be a support group he can join.

I’m sure Harry’s innocence will be established but the law and tax authorities are right to pursue any doubt that exists in the running of the game, without fear or favour.  Where appropriate, pursue the guilty through criminal, not just civil, courts.  Only then will the innocent be sure of a level playing field. Lock ‘Em Up, as a Cockney may observe.

    Install them internally on seperate data cables and seperate power supplies, plug one into hard disk port 0 and second into hard disc port 1.

     

     

     

    when you boot up, the bios will automatically assign the disk in port 0 as your primary and the disk in port 1 as the secondary hard disk.

     

     

    simples

     

     

    make sure disk in port 0 has your operating system.

    Evening Bhoys have we signed a striker, even just so ST has something to smile about??!!

     

    ………….

     

    And me mate, we need goals from our 2 strikers, and if one or even both of them get injured, ill, or suspended we’d be knackered, gambling yet again is not an option I’d consider, our board have previous in this regard.

    A cul de sac ? Oooohh!

     

    I heard that you can see your hoose and the great wall of China from outerspace.

     

    Hope the helipad is still working.

  9. I thought the hunz case originated when wee nacho ratface was done for speeding. And his brief claimed he was on £2k per week when it was generally understood that he was on £8k. And someone smelt a rat (well, of course they would!) and investigated.

     

     

    Now, I get “Image Rights” for Beckham, Henry, Larsson ETC but Nacho Novo, Kirk Broadfoot and Davie Weir ETC.

     

     

    Hmmmmmmmmmmm…………………

     

     

    BTW I know you shouldn’t start a sentence with “And” but Daryll King just did it ALL NIGHT!!!!!!

     

     

    And mine’s STILL a treble!

    Guys,

     

     

    hoping you can help me…

     

     

    whilst waitin for my macaroni cheese to heat up in the overn yesterday, I thought I’d kill some time with a quick deep inelastic scattering experiment expecting, of course, to observe some charm quarks bound with charm antiquarks in mesons. Results show I’m missing a quark – have the mesons got it? Will they make it take part in weird rituals?

     

     

    For info, I was using Beta Decay, Hadron Notation ( n→ p+e(−)+ (-νe)).

     

     

    And I burnt the macaroni.

     

     

    Thanks in advance

    Like you I want a striker. However, I do think we’ll win the league regardless.

     

     

    I don’t want us someone for the sake of it, if the money’s not there for real quality then promote one of the youngsters. Our squad is too big as it is without adding to it mate.

  13. !!Bada Bing!! Kano 1000 on

    iki-cheers

     

    G64-N0 room for any armchairs though,HC and his bhoy from the Vogue doing my kitchen next week.

  14. MWD will have a look …. Ta.

     

     

    7 fishes, disappointed at the end…. You know where the wife bumped him off cause she found out he was an armchair supporter… Who’d have thought it eh!

     

     

    Joking mate, series 4 is magic and don’t want it to end, have you finished it?

  15. The only thing that Ollie Hardy will be signing in the near future is the ‘…unemployed and looking for work…’ declaration

    Jimmy quinnbits..I m away fur a lie doon after your post…being the more creative type who doesn’t do Maths or fysics!!! Hh

  17. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon..!! Tick Tock !! on

    Does cw really think the EPL managers are biting their nails, worrying about whether or not they will be able to sign the LL promoted wizard , Jelly….on Tuesday, someone will lob in a £4m bid, and cw will ‘bite their hand off’ since, if they don’t sell him, they will not be able to pay the players’ wages, (and he wil ‘down tool” in rage) …..and, if they do sell him, it will further deplete their squad …..win / win for us Bhoys……….the snowball is rolling towards the cliff and, as it passed, I’m sure I heard a TICK TOCK….

     

     

    Did anyone else notice the ‘pro Real Madrid’ commentator last night….bit like listening to Radio Scotland….LOL…!!!

     

     

    Was just thinking, at least we can be proud of the fact that EVERY league title we have won has been won fairly and squarely, and against a background of attempts to stop us winning it…..that we have won as many as we have, is a testament to the character of our Club, and to it’s supporters……..and for Neil to have overcome so much last year is another piece of startling ‘history’……..I’ve been a Celtic Supporter for 56 years, and I’m looking forward the years ahead…..we have ‘resisted’ in the past, and we will continue to ‘resist’ …. and we will ‘never walk alone’……!!!! ………and, apart from all that, their little phone-ins and LL are actually quite (pathetically) amusing…..LOL…!!!

    Apparently Jellyfish didnt turn up for training with the forces of darkness today??

     

     

    Not first person knowledge so may be wrong. But has anyone else heard that or have I missed the discussion…

     

     

     

    If thats the case then does that mean theres been

     

    1) an accepted bid (thats a real bid Swally, Sam was havin u on before)

     

    2) transfer request handed in

     

    3) or hes maybe away checking out some other training facilities? I hear Bannatynes have a new year deal on after all ;)

    La opcion del Celtic es de 1’5M. Bastante atractiva para J. Molina, que, sinceramente pienso, cuesta mas de un kilo y medio.

    you look very much like somebody I knew, you couldn’t be him because he fancied himself as an attacking right back, good with both feet. Quite tasty in a rammy (or secondary school, as it was known then).

  22. Hamiltontim, wise words.

     

     

    Listening to the Saturdays (but not watching because it’s bad for self esteem) singing JCGE, drinking beers as I embark on a long weekend.

     

     

    Striker would be great but not essential. Watt, Keatings, George, all available.

     

     

    My da says the 50’s were terrible as were the early 60’s, the suffering punctuated only, by Hampden in the sun.

     

    Apparently the 60’s and 70’s were alright?

     

    80’s were good initially with a big birthday celebration at the end and the 90’s were a write off.

     

    2000’s was complete domination but for some reason they had success as well. Financial doping and Mibbery?

     

     

    The squad we have now, with our management team, can win the CL within three years.

     

     

    We must keep this team team together, then sell at the peak of its powers ala Porto. We need a top striker to make this happen.

     

     

    But what a time to be a Celtic fan.
