Newco will have to Surrender

252

Murdoch MacLennan’s Q&A, available here on BBC, and Neil Doncaster’s interrogations by various media yesterday, laid out the absurdity of the SPFL’s Trail Without Evidence.  MacLennan wrote:

“I have been provided with no evidence whatsoever that any club has been bullied or coerced.

“In the absence of any such report, [Rangers (sic.)] alleging “bullying and coercion” risk bringing the game into disrepute and sowing further unnecessary division.

“The suggestion of issuing loans is a red herring…….  The last loan made by the SPL was more than seven years ago, in unique circumstances to a single Member, secured against a personal guarantee given by a wealthy supporter.”

Ann Budge disputes the latter, in an attempt to sound more jaked that she probably was, she claims to have approved a loan to a club when on the SPFL board, but she cannot remember which club.  Honestly, these people are being taken seriously in some places!

He goes into great detail about how and why matters progressed as votes came in on Good Friday.  He responded to Partick Thistle’s horror at the financial consequences of relegation: “We have to remember that the league is a sporting competition. Each year we have promotion and championship wins for successful clubs, and regrettably relegation for the unsuccessful.”  Pick that out of the net, Jacqui Low.

And still, 20 days on from the vote, no evidence of bullying or wrong-doing has been presented.  The chairman is correct, the game has been brought into disrepute by one club, that should be brought to task.  Newco know with 100% certainty they will lose their EGM vote, but still they prevaricate, perhaps wondering how they will sweeten the Surrender pill for their fans to swallow?

    Credit to the lad from the Celtic discord for setting up that hoax for the zombies and the state aid nutter

     

     

    TIMALOY, has that been confirmed as genuine? I thought there was still a possibility that it was a double scam? I’m not on Twitter so couldn’t check for myself.

  6. Being the feast of St Joseph the Worker, I prayed today for all workers on the front line during this difficult time for all of them. The prayer was also meant to include all on here who are required to be out and about at work today.

    The Workers Song by Ed Pickford

     

    Best version IMHO by Dick Gaughin

     

     

    Come all of you workers

     

    Who toil night and day

     

    By hand and by brain

     

    To earn your pay

     

    Who for centuries long past

     

    For no more than your bread

     

    Have bled for your countries

     

    And counted your dead

     

     

    In the factories and mills,

     

    In the shipyards and mines

     

    We’ve often been told

     

    To keep up with the times

     

    For our skills are not needed,

     

    They’ve streamlined the job

     

    And with sliderule and stopwatch

     

    Our pride they have robbed

     

     

    But when the sky darkens

     

    And the prospect is war

     

    Who’s given a gun

     

    And then pushed to the fore

     

    And expected to die

     

    For the land of our birth

     

    When we’ve never owned

     

    One handful of earth?

     

     

    We’re the first ones to starve

     

    The first ones to die

     

    The first ones in line

     

    For that pie-in-the-sky

     

    And always the last

     

    When the cream is shared out

     

    For the worker is working

     

    When the fat cat’s about

     

     

    All of these things

     

    The worker has done

     

    From tilling the fields

     

    To carrying the gun

     

    We’ve been yoked to the plough

     

    Since time first began

     

    And always expected

     

    To carry the can
