Newco did not disappoint with last night’s statement, it was as incoherent, angry and contradictory as you would expect. They claim:
“We are extremely concerned that member clubs were not provided with enough information, or time, to allow them to make fully informed decisions”.
They were allowed 28 days to ask for as much information as they wanted before voting! Newco and most others were able to respond within two days – by choice.
“We are aware several club directors claimed they were being bullied”.
Several people we are not naming were bullied by someone we are not naming. This is like the evidence of wrongdoing they say they have but would rather not show anyone. To quote their founding manager, “Who are these people?”
They want to sound hard but have chosen to shut up instead of revealing anything – nice one.
“Addressing the [financial hardship of many of our clubs]was one of our primary objectives and the resolution we presented could and should have been progressed”.
“The SPFL chose to obstruct our resolution”.
“The fact that this solution was not afforded sufficient consideration defies belief”.
An independent QC was employed to examine their resolution and found it was not competent and could not be put to members. They claim to want independent oversight but completely ignore independent oversight has happened.
“There is precedent within Scottish football that a league must not be compromised by changing the rules during the course of the competition.”
Again, a claim shrouded in innuendo, this time an unexplained precedent. If I was a betting man, I would say they forgot the league schedule was extended in 2008 to accommodate Oldco (I regularly hear of this amnesia), and are referring to the fact that it was not extended as long as they wanted.
“The anger of our fans is understood and shared by our Board, who continue to examine all legal options available.” Newco do so well in court, the SPFL board must be terrified.
The statement confirms they have a problem accepting rules. An independent QC explained to Newco MD Stewart Robertson and the rest of the SPFL board why Newco’s resolution could not be pursued. Robertson was asked if there was anything more he wanted to ask and if he felt the matter had been given sufficient consideration by the SPFL board.
It was not the SPFL board, the chief exec, a retained solicitor or any other malign foe who stopped their resolution, it was an independent QC. These are the rules, they were independently enforced, accept them.
Remember this SPFL vote did not end the Premiership season, all it did was ensure the season will not be voided, all other options remain on the table. It’s not much of a hill to stand and fight on in these difficult times.

From your post, very early hours of morning on Sevco request for an enquiry into FtSPFL
Sounds to me this is a request to remove 3 people from their roles ?
On what grounds ?
Is this therefore a disciplinary ?
All 3 would therefor be fully entitled to see all witness statements and evidence being presented to allow them to defend against the acusations
A decent union rep or lawyer, would very easily defend all 3 from the outset on the Sevco request, before it even gets started
Howling at the moon is Park of Hamilton and Sevco
Oh – there’s a breach of current rules (being ignored)
Oh , very H888py 21st birthday to a future Celtic Star

The press/media Murdoch empire has turned on Boris and the Government today big time. He’s toast.
==========================================================
Wishful thinking.
Murdoch is toast , not Boris .
When there is no news.
” News ” is invented .

Looks increasingly like Boris is out of his depth and not coping with this at all. Perhaps he wants out or they have decided to replace the useful idiot. Murdoch led hatchet job today and Gove, Murdoch’s pet, appears to issue a weak rebuttal. It’s all a bit coincidental.
fAVOURITE UNCLE
As soon as I saw that headline on Newsnow I deleted Sunday Post from the publications.

……..
What about the huns 2nd goal that day that came from a Hun corner kick…that SHOULD have been a goal Kick instead to Celtic ?
HH
Johnson and Gove….A right pair of WANS !
Thanks to all who passed on their thoughts regarding Uncle William. And of course to those who read my post and didn’t reply – it’s good to know he is being remembered by so many of the Celtic family. That would make him proud as punch.
kenny dalglish, why did we get inflicted with this person just scrub him from our history books backs call for investigation but not of ebt use
what does phishing mean?
May Willie Young Rest In Peace
And Let Perpetual Light Shine upon Hm
🙏🙏🙏
Hmmmmm……
Can I ask again
What is the Sevco led investigation into FtSPFL to be about ??
Not giving a bankrupt club a loan ?
Hope the truth come out on the reason Sevco could not get a loan payment

Kicking Boris when he`s down ( and currently convalescing in Checkers sanitorium ) would be electoral suicide . It took them three years to get rid of May.
BTW. They`d have to kick out Dominic Cummings as well .
You seriously think that 89yo Murdoch has that much power over the Conservative Party ?
Power over the media ….Yes.
we won the league and we didn’t even need the full season

Johnson and Gove….A right pair of WANS !
===========================================
And elected with a HUGE majority .
Charlie Nic has just given an interview on sky to Jim White,
I swear I didn not understand a single comment he made.
This new use his arms and point emphasis,
total clown.
The great british public will turn against Johnson if they are fed the right line.
The Murdoch press can feed the line.
And Johnson’s colleagues will be more than willing to dish the dirt.
His reckless and feckless approach to life in general wasn’t appropriate when responding to a pandemic and people have died unnecessarily because of his incompetence.

I to enjoyed the gig,
Please take this as intended, constructiive criticism,
When talking to your audience, you were inaudible, perhaps, tuning your speakers would help,
This from a guy, a couple of miles down the road, in the Bush who enjoyed the gig,
—————-
Hi pal – good feedback – that’s really helpful. Just new to this online stuff, so any ideas to improve are definitely welcome 👍
We’ll practice other setups during the week, taking any suggestions into account. I breakable strings for Wee BGFC’s guitar would be good !!
Most of the guys on my old supporter”s bus were from The Bush – Aidrie St Serf’s / Wayside ✌😊😀

Have agreed with most of your comments in relation to this pandemic from even before the criminally incompetent WHO declared it to be a pandemic.
Their current plan of action is to stage a concert with Lady Gaga.
Gaga . How appropriate .
Johnson is merely the head of a cabinet which makes decisions . The responsibility for any ” incompetence ” would not be theirs not exclusively his .
In time , the facts about the Beijing cover up will be revealed in full .
That`s where the crisis began and that`s where the ultimate responsibility lies.
The reaction of the British govt. may well have been delayed and inadequate , but that is the fault of the UK govt., not of Boris alone.
Boris probably got infected by doing his job.
What`s the difference between him doing his job and medical personnel doing theirs ?
Damned if he did. Damned if he didn`t .
The problem with populists is that they are self promoting arseholes who tend to get found out in adverse conditions.
The problem with apologists for populists…well where do you start.

They’ve turned, Gove, the most slippery of characters, is sniffing around the carcass.
Looks like the lockdown fear is beginning to crumble .Busy Tesco and people out enjoying the sun. Just going out for a wander along the Tay .Hope to spot a beaver . People seeing through the corona scam at last.

Boris ain`t dead yet.
Should that tragedy occur , Rishi Sunak would come off the bench.
But Boris will not be deposed in spite of the wish of the media .
Bamboo,
do you know anyone that has died fromt he virus ? anyone in your town, any care worker or medical staff ?
are they selling immunity in tesco ?
whats the scam ?
