Last year at BMCUWP’s hootenanny in McChuills, many CQNers clubbed together and raised funds to buy something appropriate in memory of Wee Oscar. A fantastic amount was raised and we are delighted to announce a paving stone was purchased at very, very, favourable rates from Celtic, and now has its pride and place very close to the statue of Big Jock.
The tribute reads, Wee Oscar Knox, Heart of a lion, Courage of a champion.
Make sure you look out for it next time you are at Celtic Park.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No – Did you?
Were they any guid?
I can only surmise that some independent investigations were getting too close to MIH that the Scottish judiciary have stepped in to make some sacrificial succulent lambs.
Anyroadup,

When I see that Oscar Brick I’m likely to break down in tears, I know it is only a Brick, but it was so much more than that.
That Bhoy was Incredible. A Gift from God.

I took a trip down to Manchester to see North Side. Pounds, shillings and pence. LSD. :)
The Forgotten Story of … Alex Jackson, star of Scotland’s Wembley Wizards
*the pub mentioned here…the Central Bar is still there…been a long time since I was in it but a picture of Alex Jackson used tae hang there….along with a picture of John (Solly) O’Hare….holder of a European Cup medal.
Saw them at barrowlands, awful, nice guys but not great live.
neil canamalar,
I don’t see him as the type of business man that goes in blind…I reckon he has an end game, were be it for a quick kill (hopefully) or the long game and bleed thems…all is good :)
Take it from me. No one is going to jail for the ultimate corruption of a sport. More so than FIFA. Soon the Old firm will be back..kerr-ching

I posted last week about Mash giving up the naming rights co he prob found out they were not his.
A pound down the drain, I would wager that would piss him off more than losing a million.
I would doubt the polis would have acted that quickly on anything his team has said tho, they have been after them for some time.
I will be shocked and well surprised if minty is ever in the frame for anything tho.
IMO, he should be the one who they go after, but it’s scotland, the cabal need their scapegoat, and there are a few to choose from.
The only hope I can see is some of them singing their hearts out, even then, who knows what lengths the will got to to protect those and such as those.

The wee man is training on Thursdays so I’m likely to go to the Salzburg game without him. I’ll pop round then and look, Peter Pan was the film he watched Religiously for about 2 years. I get upset about the slightest thing when it comes to him, My God I don’t know how Lucky I am.

7th December 2011 to 15 December 2011. Stewart Regan prepared a statement that used the “ongoing discussions between HMRC and Ranger” line as the reason for awarding the license back in May 2011 and not questioning it thereafter. This caused consternation in the Rangers camp to whom it was rather strangely forwarded for approval. The last thing they wanted was public attention placed back on a bill that was still outstanding in December 2011 and for which they were still in dispute with HMRC, not agreement of any kind. Indeed such was the consternation it caused it was said that if the SFA put the suggested statement out it would only cause as much issues for the SFA as Rangers. It so transpired that on the back of the consternation in December a dinner date was arranged for 20th December with Mr Regan and Mr Ogilvie to talk various larger matters over although the DOS tax bill no doubt got a mention. http://www.scribd.com/doc/146504920/Licence-Issues
Note. This bizarre episode suggests that pressure for clarification as a result of an on line petition created this series of events including Tweets from Mr Regan on 17 Jan 2012 that the bill in question had not crystallised when licence granted
http://i.imgur.com/mZfLJ7t.jpg and as reported by Phil Mac Giolla Bhain here in Jan 2012 http://www.philmacgiollabhain.ie/the-need-to-be-crystal-clear-about-the-uefa-licence-story
Evidence suggests that it had crystallised in March or by 31st May and it was an overdue payable at both 30 June and 30 September and questions should have been asked by SFA to prove the conditions in Annex VIII applied to deem the item as not being an overdue payable. Rangers had to provide proof that the item was not an overdue payable and “ongoing discussions” does not constitute proof against the criteria.
Mags,
Yep, initially thems will attend in droves.
When they are getting pumped every week due to no financial input in their team, thems will disappear in droves as history shows.
My only regret is that….we should have strengthened our team to ensure we keep thems in their place…
Been lurking for ages and thought has just occurred to me, (apologies if asked before)
If Ashley is going to invest in servco and use them to get free publicity through Europe, then
how do servco qualify as they don’t have published accounts AND can’t play for three years?

I guess they were just riding that Madchester wave, who can blame them?
@ that Time I was more into Raves but liked the Indie sonic.
The wonderstuff were superb at barrowlands, as were shed 7, Paul weller. The farm were ok.

Superb.
I watched the Celtic Derby in the pub last night.It was what I had expected. Lots of effort and little quality.
I wasn’t sure who I wanted to win – even when the goal was scored. I was so hopelessly compromised I felt like an SFA President. I consider myself Celtic (Keltic) rather than Scottish or British. My hope is that one of the two will qualify (as both can’t with Germany in the group). So, I was hoping one of them would take 6 points rather than 3/3 as that would probably eliminate both. I suspect it will be Germany & Poland though.
I’ve been really saddened at the tone of the blog over the weekend due to the antagonism from both sides. It was nice therefore to see such a positive blog from Paul today. And it got me thinking.
Perhaps it is time that we set up a CQN fund to build on the great work that has been done over the last few years. It seems to me that the same motley crew constantly put their hands in their pockets for every cause that is taken up.
We’ve already got the Kano Foundation. What about a Wee Oscar Fighting Fund (because the wee man WAS a fighter). If everyone who posts or lurks on here was willing to set up a Direct Debit of say £1 or £2 per month (no more – to make it all inclusive) we could have a considerable fund readily available to cover events like Oscars paving stone and the Herald Ad ETC.
We appear to already have a unofficlal “CQN committee” of willing and trustworthy guys in place and it wouldn’t take too much organisation to formalise that a wee bit.
While I’ve got the mike….I propose treble winning captain Tom Boyd as President.
OK, Paul, BRTH etc I’ve done all the spadework. Just get on with it :-)
What do you all think?

Can I claim a lift to the Saltzburg game? Or should we have a swally and let the train take the strain? :)

I agree that minty is well in with the Edinburgh elite, and he probably “has the pictures” for a number of bankers, brokers etc and that he will be afforded protection.
However, his family company seems to have indulged in some sharp practices re purchasing MIH assets and shafting MIH pensioners. When such Maxwellesque behaviour comes into the public domain, which it will in due course, the establishment will drop him like a hot brick.
I am confident that he will be called to account. I’d love to see him squirm under cross examination from a decent QC. (Donald Findlay??) Now that would be good bear on bear action.
Weakened teams expected at scot v England game……fans cheated again…..even worse talk of wonder boy lewis macleod of sevco expected to play…..all being done to get the huns back into the fold…..just wonder if its Strachan who is picking the team…..strange them Dundee utd and Aberdeen teams don’t play with a centre forward ?????
TET
While I tend to agree with you that Minty is unlikely to be collared for anything – a lot will depend upon CW and Grier
White as we know had a habit of recording conversations and if he had meetings with Minty he might have been taping it – just in case !
Grier is the key – since he had links to Minty and Ticketus – how convenient!
If he is prepared to take the rap and keep stum – then the trail goes cold
Will he or won’t he?
As others have stated – the much bigger scandal is the whole Edinburgh based cabal of people like Minty, Souter etc and the bankers like GM and others
Perhaps in that grander scandal Minty might have to play the Grier role?
How funny would that be?

I’ve got 2 days Holiday left. So it is going to be the Danny McGrain? if that is ok with ye?
I sincerely hope and pray that Sevco FC officially die a death before the Cup Semi.
The whole of Scotland can truly do without that particular ‘spectacle’.
As my old man says, there are 3 years+ of pent up rage inside what is now the worst element of the Ibrox ‘faithful’.
Despite all that has happened, despite all the clear evidence of who is responsible for the death of their club (hopefully soon to be clubs), Celtic FC and fans remain the focus of their rage. The Cup Semi will see that unleashed as never before.
If these legal proceedings trigger MA to do a runner leaving Sevco to rot and die, many 1000s of Celtic fans and many others besides will be eternally grateful.
mea culpa
Your father is 100% correct IMHO.
The beast is like a pitbull that’s been kicked for 3 years. It’s too stupid to realise it’s been its owner that’s been the cause and deliverer of the abuse.
It will lash out at the first given opportunity.
Night Timdom. Deffo cot time now.

You have more faith than I do mi amigo >}
Just take Fred the shred as an example, he should be languishing in jail, but no, they took his gong away, woopie do, and he has swanned off with a huge pension to boot.
There are numerous examples of this, Maxwell was not of Brit stock, minty is, and don’t mention Jeffery Archer >}
I like the idea of hun on hun, sadly I just can’t see it happening.
Had too much insight into how the cabal works to believe anything like that will ever happen.
I hope to god you are proven right and me wrong, but I won’t be holding my breath.
The overriding factor is that it’s scotland, the english msm really don’t give a toss, C4 and Alex Thomo did a bit, but ever he-they were warned off.
I posted on his blog for some time, got a few replies from him, till I mentioned the cabal, never got another post published.
All I asked was why there are no progs about the brotherhood and their dodgy dealings, it makes you wonder so it does.

Good Comment.
When you are a Liar and a Deceiver, Hell is the place you will end up.
The Cheats have had a good run at it, they are fighting a losing battle, they Lost when they started Lying.

Mea culpa
agree with their rabid hostility and what is likely to occur.
I’ve watched them seethe and howl for the last we while. Cowards, of course but their tactics of ganging up on some hapless Tim will be it.
If it has to be played I’d prefer the game to be played on a home and away basis, with only Home fans present.

As I said earlier, our only hope is someone singing their hearts out.
Even then I can only imagine the lengths that will be gone to protect the chosen ones.
It all depends on how high things go, and from what I can see, it goes right to the top.
I reckon that those who are currently in the frame will stay stum, do a small stretch and walk with a payoff of some sort, or they may well get off with it.
LNS comes to mind.
