In terms of pure logic, Ally McCoist was quite right to insist, “I can also assure every Rangers fan I will not be accepting any talk of stripping the club of titles. That is something we will never accept and everyone at the club shares this view.”
It is outrageous to put Sevco in the position of accepting Rangers are stripped of previous league titles while due process has not been carried out. The very fact that the SFA and SPL are negotiating with Sevco over this matter is reason enough for McCoist to issue a firm rebuttal. Quite simply, if the authorities are prepared to negotiate, their offer should be rejected until the last moment possible, at which point they will be meekly accepted.
The SFA and SPL must allow due process to take place and remove any need for Sevco to rubber-stamp a judgement on Rangers. It is wholly inappropriate to discuss or agree the consequences of a guilty verdict, or subsequent punishments (losing titles won illegally is not a punishment), until a verdict is recorded.
Due process, please, nothing more and nothing less. If Rangers didn’t illegally register players for over a decade neither they nor Sevco have anything to worry about.

Hard to say bout Juarez as he didn’t seem to get a fair crack at it.
Guys like Cha would play constantly poor and be in before him.
An odd one. I think there was more to it than we know behind the scenes, or it could be he was just up against the Derry pele In Training every day and was made to look like a diddy!

Not a bother.

On holiday so I have more spare time.
Annoyed that the now traditional Euro qualifier debacle is nearly upon us again as is the annual disappointment regarding buying a CB.
I am happy with the level of talent and the attempts to build an exciting young team, however the inability of PL to properly grow a squad and a business has me scunnered.
Two things are always true about the club – we have a history of making things difficult for ourselves and PL’s bonus keeps getting paid no matter the results on the park.
Braga / Utrecht / Sion – I fear a pattern is developing.

We got beat on the day….c’est la vie. I do know that had we won the Treble though,…”Scoddish Football” would be finished” and more of populous would have probably believed it.
Maybe jist aswell we hadn’t.
Anyway….pre–season friendlies,…League Cup and ok..[Scottish Cup has some prestige]…You want to judge NFL and PL with that..?
I trust Neil 100%. The MHAN has LAID DOWN is LIFE for the Club.
I hope he is there for DECADES.
If it takes a few Years I Don’t Care. I Will Afford Him That….For His Sacrifices for The Cause.

TET,

you dont and have a good source to back you up,
so it aint a problem to agree to disagree,
just hoping if i post often enough to you i will get an invite to
the cave to discuss it over a beer ;-)))

You my friend with all your Franco man love are a disgrace to the club and it’s support.
Consequently please keep your political wet dreams to yourself. If only you knew your history …

It does and I agree that you’re extremely brave voicing that opinion.
Like you I’m a Catholic and my personal faith means a great deal to me. At the time of Franco’s rule much of Europe was in the grip of a Communism v Fascism fight, this continued until the 1960’s.
The Catholic Church had a greater fear of Communism, as did much of Europe. The hierarchy of the church got it wrong in my opinion, they bowed to Franco’s will for fear of persecution and concern at what would happen if he defeated the Socialists.
It’s difficult for many of us to comprehend the concerns of the time because we didn’t live then.

Although I have still been daft enough to follow them home and away since then and will probably continue to do so
This blog certainly proves the theory that absence certainly does make the heart grow fonder

Sydney Tim @ 00:24
You forgot to mention the use of EBT’s by Ross County and Inverness Caley Thistle that stopped us from winning trophies
Madmitch
Respectfully you didn’t answer the question. Is there anything at Parkhead just now that would make you smile?
Out of interest are you in a position to go to the games?

Some interesting spats tonight but it’s about time I wasn’t here.
HT and MM I hope you sort it out.
Good Night & God Bless
Here’s the thing,
Fascists, stalinists, scientologists… All roarin drunk on certainty. Give me a man with doubt any day. I think i would’ve liked Thomas.
Doubt makes you hungry for knowledge, doubt breeds research and interest and progression. Doubt makes you compromise for love.
Certainty? Is for arrogant gits, and arrogance is the surest sign i know of emotional stupidity and people i want to ignore.
There… A nice simple theory.
Here’s the other thing… I’m suspicious of simplicity

If you feel you’ve been hoodwinked….Don’t be daft anymore..We don’t want ye…..Just go.
Sydney tim,
i think we will get past Helsinki because although
at the minute we aint great i think they are poor and
will not cope at Celtic park

Indeed i do sir.
You may read a myriad of different books on the subject of the Spanish Civil War,but like everything else,it’s all about opinions.
Probably sad,but the thing in life that annoys me most is – people running down Celtic,have to accept it on CQN – but in the real world,the red mist descends!
Ah well,it’s no big deal anyway.
Hate myself for not resisting to join in…
Peter Lawwell has let me down in the past few years but he has called and played the Rangers situation very well this year. Therefore hiven the new circumstances we find ourselves in.. I would give him and a very conservative approach this year my full support until we see the lie of the land.
I have zero European expectation and will be happy to dominate domestically this year. Lenny has a treble to win… An improvement on last season.
If we can do that this year and next- we should then concern ourselves with denting Champions league.
Right now we get behind the push for domestic dominance- Lenny is still a rookie so no need to lumber him with unrealistic European expectation… IMO- but he should be expected to better last year.

Maybe the ole Mineshafters can take up the part of the ground afforded to the Ex–Club…

You’ve been abroad too long :-)))
The Bould Bhoys @ 00:53
I shall take cognisance of your advice sir
However I suspect that Celtic value my contribution of £1400 every season more than they value the ramblings of a blogger with a republican Pseudonym
In other words china stick your advice up your chorus and verse
Bring on the Canaries !!!

I think galllagher put it in the best possible way earlier when he said lets just support the team and see what happens.

Sixteen roads,
Im makin no judgements, i dont – an never will have – the moral kudos to do so. I’m well aware that fascism, in the flavour of Mussolini and Franco, are seen in revisionist history as Nazi-lite.
Genuinely interested in why people would view these as acceptable. The argument that they were a product of their time is lazy. We know what these regimes beliefs and practices were.
Forget you are a catholic for a moment; was it right?
HT,
Fair do’s.
Pedro the sheep ******* doesnt sound right

I’ve said it several times that, for all I love it and what it has offered me, CQN is not an accurate depiction of the Celtic support as a whole, so dinnae fret about it :-)

Buy a cheaper seat then…. see if that suits your expectations.
