Just a short one while we await the Uefa meeting to breakup. I see the press have caught up on the information I left on CQN on 11 March about the potential investor in Newco. Then, I wrote, “If [The Sun) had even given us something like, ‘A fan, originally from Paisley, who made his money in the Far East’ I would have thought their information was possibly on a par with mine.”
A month ago, Newco were the only club in Scotland facing a financial crisis, today, almost all are, but Newco’s situation is acute. No Paisley-born-boy-did-good is going to change that. There’s lots more going on here than I can write about or that others will. Good luck to Stuart Gibson, if he signs that P.G.
Oh, and their new PR man, goodness!

HamiltonTim: thanks for posting Bobby Sands’ diaries.
HAMILTONTIM
Thank you again!
Hope you and The Minx are good!
SoT, lovely stuff, even Mrs Emeraldbee found it touching as we sit reading in the conservatory looking out at the pashing-down rain in south East Kilbride. Thanks for that, keep them coming. I love this ‘community’ of ours as we all deal with the goings on we face.
TBB, stirring stuff, just the information we (I) need and enjoy to brighten up an otherwise grey and wet day here. Is the guy just unlucky in his timing or is he another fud in a long list of fuds to be associated with the mongrels frae the sooside? Or was that second one a rhetorical question?
celtic club closed.
irish club closed
police outside and inside costco just in case of problems, it was packed but very orderly.

Best wishes to all CQNers and anyone lurking
I hope you all find peace of mind in these extremely troubling times
Covid19 deaths in Italy as of 6pm today-‘
2503.
An increase of 345 since 6pm yesterday.
Ever get the feeling you are about to be stitched up, cant shake, had it since the first null and void shout went up…

That was an excellent post, well done mate.
Oh send for McGrory, the Pride of Parkhead….
Without belittling the current situation, the government say they are hoping to keep Corona virus deaths down to 20,000
Influenzas cause approximately 29,000 deaths per annum
This would mean a reduction of 9000 bearing in mind that any flu deaths will more than likely be attributed to Corona
Like I say, not belittling but hopefully putting things into a little perspective for anyone overly worrying
By the way. Seems someone has managed to hack my account and change my nom de plume
Does anyone know if 24 hour Asda Robroyston are shutting shop at midnight to 6am??
Crazy if true.

Thank you for the diary posts.
Orange ordour cancel marching season ..😆
Tontine Tim 4 :03
Thanks for the reply.
Funnily enough there is an article on Celtic noise today which mentions song but doesn’t give the words.
I remember the fans actually sing hail glorious st Patrick too.
I think there was one occasion Frank Harvey was injured and fans tried to rally him with such a rendition. Though I may well be wrong on that score.
Just over the border in Berwick one day
The Great Glasgow Rangers arrived in hooray
With a team of great talent & a new coach forbye
To play little Berwick in a Scottish Cup Tie
From all over Scotland their fans they came too
A waving their banners of orange & blue
Crying we are the people our team is the Gers
We’ll shatter see Berwick with voice & great cheers
Well Bridgton went mad when the news it was out
They were burning their banners & sashes as well
They went looking for Lawrence to hang with a rope
They were f***ing Scott Symon instead of The Pope
TONTINE TIM @ 4:02 PM,
That’s interesting… hadn’t read that version of events, although I’d heard about the Kilpatrick connection.
My son was doing some family ancestary and did a DNA check… it took him back to Niall Noígiallach high King of Ireland, so I did some research, if what we new and supposed our families history to be true then our likely lineage came through Niall’s son – Eógan mac Néill.
https://www.geni.com/people/Eógan-mac-Néill/6000000005012134163
Now when I researched him, although not as powerful as his father or some of his brothers he none the less was a powerful King in Ulster.
It is said he was Baptised by St Patrick. There is a commemoration plaque where he is supposedly buried – in St Patrick’s Church Iskaheen, Inishowen.
The story went…
When St Patrick was a slave, he was was befriended by Eógan. Many years later when St Patrick returned they renewed there friendship and St Patrick Baptised Eógan as part of his mass conversions – I couldn’t find corroboration on this.
However it makes sense within your narrative – after St Patrick’s rejection in Wicklow, it maybe why he was welcomed in Ulster – it is said he went up Strangford lough which was in Eógan mac Néill’s Kingdom at that time.
Would love to know more, get corroboration.
Hail Hail
Frank Harvey should read Frank Haffey of course.
Death’s from influenza vary widely. The average for the UK is nowhere near 27,OOO,
27,000 would probably represent the worse year ever but the average number would be a lot less.
UK Records are not published
It very much depends on the strain in any particular year.
Also the Corona Virus is nowhere as widely spread as Influenza.
There is little doubt that it is a far more dangerous virus.
I certainly agree that we shouldn’t panic about it but neither should we be complacent.
Everyone needs to take personal responsibility to try & keep themselves safe & thus reduce the pressure on the Health Services.
Hopefully warmer weather will bring respite but this will remain a major problem until a vaccine is widely available,
That is likely at least a year away.
Papped Oot and in again – makes me feel a bit hunnish
In these days of a volatile market it can be challenging to find a save haven for your money.
Government bonds, gold or a 8 year old football club that has never broke even and needs £10 million to see out the current season ?
It’s a tricky decision.
Well done corkcelt, anyone who was worrying less is back to where they were
“Good luck to Stuart Gibson, if he signs that P.G.”
Pay Glibby?
Pig of Govan?
Protestant Git?
Potential Groundshare?
Pound Gift?
Polder Ground?
Poor Group?
UEFA’ plans for competitions going forward …
https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/about-uefa/news/newsid=2641077.html
includes …
• Club competitions:
– A commitment to complete all domestic and European club competitions by the end of the current sporting season, i.e. 30 June 2020 at the latest, should the situation improve and resuming playing be appropriate and prudent enough.
– Possible limitations or drops of current exclusive calendar slots, potentially resulting in the scheduling of domestic league matches in mid-week and scheduling of UEFA club competitions matches on weekends.
. Possible adaptations of the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds in case of late completion of the 2019/20 sporting season, i.e. after 30 June 2020.
Are we champions again yet?

‘Without belittling the current situation, the government say they are hoping to keep Corona virus deaths down to 20,000’
####
Until a couple of days ago their working hypothesis was 200,000 deaths.
At 60% infection rate that’s a fatality rate of 0.55%.
The 20,000 figure seems overly optimistic.
Embramike
Cannae see it happening masel.
