So after 15 years and 121 years respectively, the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League will be wound-up due to the creation of the Scottish Professional Football League. Small objection, I know, but I don’t like the name. It’s cumbersome and, in the case of one member club (Queens) downright inaccurate. They stuck a word in to differentiate the new entity from the historical one, but why ‘Professional’?
I assume the last champions of the Scottish Premier League will retain the trophy, just as Northern Ireland did with the Home International Championship trophy? Or will the brown brogue brigade insist that doesn’t happen? I’m sure St Mirren will be making plans for the now-defunct Scottish Football League, League Cup, or at least they will when someone realises the awarding body is about to cease.
The new financial compensation structure will make a significant difference to half a dozen or so clubs in the second tier of the game but that’s about it. There is no magic wand for Scottish football short of federation with a neighbouring association.
The biggest laugh of the day came from the news that outgoing SFL chief exec, David Longmuir, the man who did more than anyone to prevent the new SPFL getting to this stage, has put himself forward for the new chief executive position.
The word ‘shameless’ seems somewhat inadequate. Make sure the brogues are clean for interview next week, David.
How will that one go? ‘I know, I got it completely wrong. I did my best to stop all of this from coming to fruition, what a laugh. Best thing I can say is, I’m not Neil Doncaster, so how’s about it?’
Better get that CV types, David. Or is my prediction that you were working your way to a position with a lower league club coming to fruition?

Trust me.
I have paid for this in terms of CQN Celtic shares and agreement with Canamalar.
However, its not enough.

They might well go belly-up again, I’d even put a bet on it, but I don’t think we’ve seen the last of them. Maybe their next incarnation will be an honest one with laudable values and sporting integrity over quintessential hubris and arrogant demands of entitlement. Maybe.
But as I say, pay for tomorrow with apathy today and you’ll just have to swallow your plums when tomorrow kicks you in the goolies.
The rules must be adhered to by all and they must be administered, and enforced, without prejudice; otherwise the whole game is a bogey. The ones in office have the future of Scottish football in their hands besides the enrichment of their favourite holding company.

Mags, I know bruv, it will never be enough. The huns will return but at the very least we have a chance to determine how they return and to ensure that what they return to is different from what it was before.
No cheating referees’s. Not a chance.
No biased reporting. Not a chance.
A strong Celtic willing to stand up to the blatant hun favouritism? We can achieve that, and we should, by making the Celtic board aware we will stand for nothing less.
Support Canamalar1 in his quest for 1000 names.
Celtic.
Margaret McGill “However, its not enough.”
What is your proposal Maggie, what would be enough?

Tell me what we should be doing? Calling the board “the bored” isn’t cutting the mustard bruv.

Yes Siree Bob! I hope so.
What would be palpable on the assumption that the Celtic Board had the same vision as the fans. If you were to read newspaper clippings from the sixties or seventies or eighties in retospect you would understand that daily media is drivel. 21st Century Murdoch media more so. The point I think you have missed is that the Celtic board modus operandi to this day is “what are the huns daein?” and threrein lies Celtics modern demise.

You’re right the major schism
(although there are many) in Islam
can come down to who, and also
why, the successor of the prophet
was chosen.
One side said it should be based on
the prophets family (Ali – the
prophets son in law) and succession
should be based on descendants of
Mohammed – Shia islam.
And the other side said it should be
based on the most able candidate
(Abu Bakr – the prophets faither in
law as it happened) – Sunni islam.
Although the schisms through the
ages are many and wonderous and
fantastically interesting.
Sadly today islam is being denigrated
by the murderous nutjobs on the
fringes who think it ok to behead
people in Syria or the streets of
London. Evil evil people.
And the nutjobs on the fringes of the
anti islam brigade including this sites
resident bigot ( and his split
personalities).

So we can talk about Lisbon and Johnny Doyle and maybe as far up as Henrik. Etc etc etc.The bottom line is that the current custodians of Celtic have a remit of cost margins and they need that 1690 money Coz in Europe Pirlo and Platini showed us we are going nowhere. So what platitudes will you accept in the interim? Enough to buy season tickets?

………………………………………….
Maggie I’ve yet to hear our club espouse the platitudes?
No, I wont just accept them if that’s what come out from the club. I want the same as you. I want our club to stand up to the hun and face them and I can understand your disappointment.
That’s why I’ve cooled my differences with Neil Canamalar Hun Skelper and got behind his campaign. This is the first time in 35 years I’ve seen an educated man bring the Celtic support together to challenge the running of our club and ask questions that we all want answered.
Maggie, stop posting 45 minute vids if you want a quick answer. FFS, that’s no fair.

ok I’m with Canamalar too. Now what?
Good morning CQNers,
Maggie,
Great memories from 67 but what was achieved then was, in a large part, due to one man’s inspiration and had little if anything to do with the people who ran the club.

You are spot on. However the light you cast on the night shift is a little blinding for some. Genuine Moonhowlers understand the beat….

Good morning from a bright Manchester. Time to trawl through the latest news.
Top of the morning to you all from a Fife that is wakeing to a beautiful buttermilk sky.
Cue for a song there?
But even Hoagy Carmichael, who wrote a lot of fantasy stuff could never have scripted the tale of the old Rangers and how they were helped back to the top.
No one would have bought it. Too far fetched they would have said.
