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.

Good morning CQN from the fast train to Glasgow on a frozen morning in ML8.
The next 3 games will determine a lot of what this season will bring.
Focus on Sunday, one game at a time!

Good morning friends and a Big Happy Friday from a cold and slushy East Kilbride.
A wee cold snap could put their game off tomorrow unless they have enough coins for the meter for the ole underground heating.

Victor Wanyama, Victor Waaanyama, Victor Wanyama, Wanyama Oooooh Ooooh the next Clarence Seedorf?
Im dont think he has the creativity to develop into a player like him, hope he does but Id say he is more the next Marcel Desailly, similar playing style. As they will no doubt be saying soon ‘Marcel Desailly, he was the first Victor Wanyama etc.’

No that would be a tad superficial. I can exclusively reveal though, that VW did actually build the Estadio Nacional with his bare hands, not everyone knows that.

More comedy gold today from Ibrox. Ally tells a player not to come back after one day of a trial yet his club is saying a verbal agreement has been reached for a one million pound transfer.
Banner for when the thousands turn up to watch the padlock on the fro.t door of ibrox
‘Your club is over, why don’t you go home?’
Or from a plane flying over their last ever game, I’m happy to chip in for it.

Good luck Andy Murray! (His Dad is a Tim!)
I wonder if Andy Murray will be Scottish or British later today…
Good morning CQN.

Oz Tims –
Just discovered Celtic v Falkirk being shown on delayed broadcast at 9am (QLD) Monday on Setanta, 8 hours after kick-off.
So Celtic TV it is then.

Morning all – weight off the wee mans mind this morning, as I found out yesterday my job was safe after some worrying from November onwards. Slept like a baby last night.

A blue court with Murray in blue and orange, Djokivic in blue, red and white and the umpire with orange shoes – HD should have a black and white option.

Knowledge is the retention of facts and information.
Wisdom is the ability to think and rationalise, even without the knowledge.
Lennondinho18 (@CelticNewsAtTen) –
We don’t get access to that outside the UK, if I am not mistaken.
Can’t believe it’s the Australian Open and Aussie TV is delaying broadcast of the semi-final until 7:30pm.
giggsybhoy
good news indeed on the job front.
How can you sleep when they are about go out of business? Too exciting for me
