A few points about Stewart Milne’s comments this week. Immediately after the Court of Session overturned the earlier rulings on Rangers EBTs, putting the issue of sporting advantage in the spotlight, I noted that it would be the clubs who would decide if this matter would be looked at again, and that if Celtic were unable to gain support from a number of clubs, the issue was dead in the water.
The conversation has been parked until after BDO hear about their application to appeal to the Supreme Court but the issue remains active. Celtic are not alone on this matter, but as you hear from Milne, everyone is not on the same page.
I was a bit surprised Milne spoke openly on the issue but this needed to come out. Just as the SPFL’s decision to act or not is in the hands of the clubs, Aberdeen’s stance on the matter is ultimately in the hands of their supporters. If they care enough about the issue, they must express this view to Milne as clearly as they did in 2012, when they changed his plans on an earlier matter.
Milne’s comments about Scottish football’s position relative to the game in England were among the most futile ever uttered. He is one of the few people in a position to work for change. Aberdeen have more going for them than Swansea – a smaller club based outside England who earn over £100m from Premier League TV rights each season.
No wonder we’re outside the party when one of the men in charge has only just recognised a party exists.
Many thanks to all who donated to our Mary’s Meals appeal yesterday. The generosity of one or two of you blew me away. If you entered the Magners’ ticket competition, check your email this afternoon, as the winner will be notified shortly.
There’s still time to order a book or DVD from CQN Bookstore. Take a look at what’s on offer.

Swindon’s awright,pub opened five minutes ago and I’m late on parade!
I went back to my proper moniker,but I’m still gonna ignore the bores and scroll the trolls. That should keep me outa bother,and help avoid The Wrath of Khan-or of my kid sis,which is considerably worse,scary stuff!
Back to the fitba’ the morra. It’s been like an international fortnight on here the last few days.
Some right good stuff,mind. Especially on Wednesday evening.
A propos of nothing,I found a programme online which I’d been looking for. If you’ve got roughly seventy hours to spare,there’s four series of them available. It should take you back a bit…

CANAMALAR IT LOOKS LIKE OCD OBSESSION on 18TH DECEMBER 2015 6:37 AM
It’s time for safe flare areas
———————————————————————-
I know that this was toungue n cheek, but worth looking at especially for the type of “safe” flares that Eddieinkirkmichael was refering to last night.
I do agree that in Instanbul it’s a bit discriminatory to single out Celtic fans.
But the club must do something.
HH.
The Stones died with Brian Jones.
The zombies play on.
Come to think of it……………

The ‘discriminatory’ pursuit of Celtic more than of other clubs might be to do with being reported by our own countrymen.
The first charge-the previously unknown offence of ‘illicit singing’ was based on a report by the police commander. A former ref,btw.
I suspect others have been at the behest of similar and of the press.
Infamy…
Ireland is tremendous.
Downpatrick, I was privileged to take my Hurried attitude to that Incredible town.
Downpatrick makes you think deeper about things.
Haud on a wee minute……
“a taxi straight away please?!!!!!”
And now for something completely Unique
You can shove yer ISIS symbology where the sun don’t shine.
Melbourne Mick if you are lurking many thanks for looking after my daughter for her short visit and thanks also for the shirts hope you like the Stornoway Saltires one. As you know M is off to Wooma???? for a couple of days, she spoke highly of you and enjoyed her visit. May I take this oppurtunity to wish you and your a very Merry Xmas and a prosperous New Year. Hail Hail Hebcelt

I left a link to an old programme which I expect you enjoyed just before you left these shores.
It’s on the previous page,about ninety minutes ago.
As for the Stones and Brian Jones,I partly agree. I think their best period was the last four years of his life,and the four or so after that wi Mick Taylor.
My Dad is a big fan,always has been. He’ll almost certainly disagree with me!
There’s till time to order Christmas gifts from CQNBookstore.com and for UK addresses we will get it to you before the big day.
All orders received by 9am today are on their way. We will post all this morning’s orders at midday and then post the afternoon orders at 4pm.
Full details here:

Finnbogason linked with us again.
I think his agent is getting desperate. Failed to make the grade at Real Sociedad, failed to make the grade at Olympiakos.
This is the guy that CQN scouts believed was a no brainer and would guarantee goals…
Morning Timland from a cold, but will get much warmer hun free mountain valley.
I for one am delighted that we have posters like NA2 on here, he gives the polar opposite view to the head in the sand brigade.
Why only slag him off ?
Why not slag the head in the sand posters ?
It was the ignoring the signs that killed the hun, and if we do the same it could well spell trouble for us, the signs are there already, the constant downsizing, the lack of quality on the pitch, supporters talking about walking away, crowds dwindling, attacking our supporters in the media, the lack of action from the clubs, ours included re the corruption, etc, etc, etc.
All these things take their toll, and it’s continuing unabated.
Stubbs for Celtic by the summer…
Morning Bhoys HEBCELT sorry to see you using the word xmas in your post Christmas is all about the birth of Christ but when you take the Christ out it means nothing.H.H.
I look at the names of players Celtic are interested in signing I know many are made up stories by the MSM.However,I do wonder why we keep signing players and not having a good clear out of much of the dead wood in our playing squad as possible.Our wage bill is to large and there are players at Parkhead who will never be first team regulars. H.H.
THE EXILED TIM
Comparisons to the huns are wide of the mark
The huns are where they are due to the club operating under a mountain of debt and questionable tax policies.
When the crash came, the club had no way of attracting genuine investors as nobody would want to take on those debts or tax liabilities.
The only people they could attract were spivs, who have acted in such a way that there are criminal proceedings going on.
Say what you want about the plc men, they are neither Spivs like Whyte nor have they run the club into the ground like Sir David Murray
Are they perfect? No. Do I agree with all of their actions? No. Do I think it’s a good thing that the Celtic support always question them? Yes.
But the hun comparison doesn’t stand up.
THE EXILED TIM on 18th December 2015 9:39 am
My only issue with NA2 is when he doesn’t answer questions because it would expose some of his opinions as fact rhetoric.
I’ve repeatedly asked him for the basis of his belief that CFC fully colluded with the 5-Way agreement but he never responds.
I’m not naive enough to think they knew nothing about it, but I think all the club chairmen ensure they were arms length from the details. It’s bad enough that they were aware some deal would be done to allow RIFC to jump the queue.
That said, and trying to be objective I think if you were to honestly sit down and look at a group of applicants for SPFL admission, they may well have come out ahead of Spartans et al. It’s hard to be objective where they are concerned though.

“-if that was aimed at me mate I will gladly accept it,Forrest has been a waste of time for years,the odd flash every 10 games (which may take him 4 months),no thanks,let him sit on a new treatment table. HH”

However, he certainly has the ability to expose defenders and put on an exhibition when in the mood!
JOE FILIPPIS HAIRCUT on 18TH DECEMBER 2015 9:47 AM
Morning Bhoys HEBCELT sorry to see you using the word xmas in your post Christmas is all about the birth of Christ but when you take the Christ out it means nothing.H.H.
—-_-_——————
I don’t beilve in Christ so I always use Xmas.
I celebrate Festivus at this time of year
https://youtu.be/c8g4Ztf7hIM
Joe,
Xmas has been used for over 1000 years and contrary to the myth, does not take the Christ out of Christmas.
HH
THE HUDDLE. Thanks for your reply I think it is a pity that you dont believe in Christ but its your soul. But surely as a mark of respect to fellow Celtic fans who are practicing Christians it is just as easy to write Christmas as it is xmas. That is my opinion.H.H.
“Why only slag him off ?”
Tet,
Cos of what he says and the way he says it I’m guessing.
HH
GEORDIE MUNRO. Christmas, xmas, I only see one Christ and it is not in the word xmas. H.H.
Well as the famous Kev Jungle says im aff oot cheerio the noo. H.H.
