You wonder if Ally McCoist rues the day he called for the public outing of members of the SFA Judicial Panel which imposed a player registration ban on his club. One judge, one journalist and one football club, Raith Rovers, were soon outed. Crossing the Fifers was a mistake.
Raith Rovers are now pointing out the same facts we have discussed here for months:
“We are also concerned that there has not as yet been an opportunity for clubs to receive legal advice from the SFL and/or debate the potential consequences on the smooth running of our league in the event that the Courts are asked to annull/strike down any of the corporate transactions that have led to the current position of Sevco Scotland Ltd as owners of certain assets of the Rangers oldco.
“Indeed, the position as regards the potential sanctions to be applied by the Scottish FA via its Appellate Tribunal has also still to be bottomed out.”
In short, Sevco’s ownership of Ibrox may be nullified by the courts and the SFA will be forced to subvert judicial oversight if it wants to guarantee Sevco participate in football next season.
While these concerns were only expressed online, the SFA were able to ignore the issue, but with Raith Rovers asking the questions Mr Regan will have to look SFL clubs in the eye and tell them what he’s going to do with Lord Carloway.
Lurgan 53
Dwyer O’Hagan, or Lurgan 53 as he was known here, passed away on Wednesday after an illness stretching back to last year. Dwyer enjoyed our triumphs and defeats on the blog for many years and will be sadly missed by us all. Our condolences to his family and friends.

Ernie Ernie bless yourself.IMO you have been very informative in this whole hun mess. Over the top with your board comments but that’s your view.
Sixteen Roads
You are right of course
Ernie is entitled to his opinions,but it gets very boring after a while
This anti board paranoia is madness,A couple of years back several posters were accusing the Celtic Board of deliberately losing the league to help keep Rangers afloat financially.That type of madness should have been nipped in the bud.Buty by tolerating it in openess and fairness you lend it a type of credibility it doesnt deserve.
when I rule the world all anti board fantasists will be rounded up and sent to “re education camps” in the west of ireland where they will be made say “I love Dermot Desmond and I love Peter Lawell” over and over and over again until all they can say.And then they will allowed back on CQN
Paul67 et al
Being a pensioner, I have finally managed to be able to afford a ST (65) to watch my beloved Celtic. According to some people on here, I appear to have wasted my money (the board this and the board that). Well can I just say that it is Celtic FC I support regardless who the custodians are and I always will support them even if I cannot afford the ST and will continue to watch away fixtures via Sky and ESPN. Now I await a total hammering from a certain section of the blog.

Meserine the movie (in 2 parts ) about a French Gangster (based on real events) is a good movie.
However like all these type of movies they can glamorous the ruthless scumbag killers and robbers who think it better to stay in bed all day and then rob money off people who worked for it.
Grrr,That ernie fella has me all upset
Out for Cider methinks
Ernie you are right the board are soup taking,masonic,back of the bus sitters etc
ERNIE LYNCH 1935
That is a load of b……s.
I have reason to disagree with the board,as,I suspect,do you.
Don’t dress it up with the occasional supercilious comment,come out with the reasons you are criticising the board.
On this matter,or any other.

I understand what you are saying mate,however,Celtic as a single entity has never done me any wrong – I support Celtic,without condition,that doesn’t necessarily mean that i support the people whom run the club,past,present or future.
Scandalous that Alex Thomson is breaking these stories while the local media sit around and wait for the next press release to print.
Thank goodness we have at least got one journalist who can do his job properly

Your statement……
“There’s nothing to debate.
The absence of the huns from the SPL will adversely affect Celtic’s finances”.
Don’t the board deserve great credit then for the statement and stance they made this week in light of how it will affect our finances?”
###
Well yes, no doubt, but for the fact that they couldn’t support allowing the sevco huns into the SPL without risking an enormous financial backlash from the fans.
The point is we have to face up to the fact that the board ARE conflicted. There IS a financial downside to the absence of the huns. It’s one I’d take every time, largely for non footballing reasons, but the board may have a different view.
The board loyalists aren’t prepared to admit the board are conflicted and might be prepared to accept the huns in division 1. They are simply ignoring the possibility. That’s not loyalty, that’s stupidity.

God bless!
Unconditional love is for wet ends.
Tonight we need men who are willing to die in the ditch. The only unconditional talk I want to hear is that of unconditional surrender, unconditional sanctions, unconditional punishment, unconditional adherence to the rules.
Anything less is a sell out and a cop out. This is war.
To be fair to Ally today he did think he’d taken the weans to Blair Drummond Safari Park!
Cue angry drunk huns bouncy boucing around the street accusing cars, babies and random lamp posts of being the Unseen Fenian Hand. None of them picking TFPLG up out of the gutter either…..
Ernie v bobby Murdoch
2 CQN heavy weights, I demand a debate till the end. Game on.
James Forest
Its not war
War is hell
This is a group of men (mainly) (us on CQN) arguing about a dead football team that use to represent our favourite teams main rivals for sporting honours
I could not care less what happens to them
Even if they were put back into the SPL with a ten point bonus Celtic would wipe floor with them
Be happy

”I didn’t ignore an invite to meet the board and ask questions!”
Jeez, this is a tale that grows in the telling.
Paul 67 suggested he might be able to swing a private meeting with someone in a suit at CP, not the board. I declined on the basis that if Celtic had something to tell the fans they should tell all of us, not a hand picked special few malcontents. I try to avoid furtive and clandestine goings on in my life, like most non masons. I wasn’t inclined to make an exception in this instance.

You are welcome and take care!
Enjoy the games!
EL and BMCUW debating?? Must read back.
They’re both right though :) However….one of them is more right than the other. I stand by that clever assertion !

Hail Hail!
Hail hail one and all, woken by the DOB bands or the rain lashing down on them.. either way not a bad result because the Morning line pointed me to a few John Gosden winners which I watched in the Coatbridge KSC with some good (older than me) men who regaled me with tales of Lisbon and how (controversially) David Hay was a better RB than Danny!! And Charlie Tully was just OK?? Jeezo..
£2 a pint of Guinness all month and life is good.
RIP Dwyer and all the Faithful Departed
Surely only on a Celtic site would we see squabbling at a time when their biggest rivals are, for intents and purposes, dead, when there are negative hun headlines by the day, if not hour, and when a Champions League qualifier is around the corner
I am ashamed to admit that their slow, lingering death has, in recent days, almost made me feel a degree of sympathy for them. However, i am delighted to report that i quickly came to my senses when i heard the orange walks spout their songs of hate today. Even now it brings a smile to my face to realise how much the baddies are hurting!

”Back the club, now that is a novel idea :-))”
Which is why it would be nice to know if the board have a stance on sevco huns being allowed into division 1.
Imagine we all criticise the suggestion and it turns out the board are in favour.
How embarrassing would that be?
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Imagine,Ernie,that this scenario was NOT the case,and you were the only person who thought it might be.
HOW EMBARRASSING WOULD THAT BE?

It’s on BBC4 at 9 mate – Killer Instinct? Must be the first one then.
ernie only asked if Celtic washed their hands of things now that newco are not allowed into the SPL. A fair question IMO.
We always need to question things, I am probably a board apologist but that does not mean I am right.
I’m glad we have people who ask the difficult questions, especially when things are going well because they can soon change.
Withou reading back….
EL has never adopted a personal approach to this site.
Contributions have always been objective and questioning, the proper approach to real debate.
It’s not fair to make attempts to force someone who has adopted that approach to indulge in the personal nature that the majority do.
That type of contribution has proved v important here along with all the others.

ernie
Yes they’re conflicted but they were conflicted last week and made the stance that we all hoped, and some of us expected, they would.
This is merely board bashing now ernie, how many times will you move the goalposts before admitting that they got something right despite what you thought would happen, and give them a bit of leeway?

At the risk of getting involved in the debate, any discussions you may have had with the board, or a ‘suit’, would only have been clandestine had you chosen for it to have been. You would have been perfectly at liberty to have raised your concerns/questions then reported the answers to the CQN community as you saw fit. The fact that you did not chose to take up the offer, in the eyes of many posters, means that the continual negativity becomes a bit wearing (although not entirely without merit).
I work in the public sector and get sick of hearing people tell me why something can’t work, rather than how it can (i.e. they continually give problems not solutions). There are a few bloggers here that seem to do the same thing
STEVEBOY 2005
“I won’t accuse them of being involved in a conspiracy against our club and support.”
Rennes,anyone?
That will never NEVER be forgiven,as far as I am concerned.
sixteen roads… there are two mesrine films, starring vincent cassel. both a brilliant watch – highly recommended
Fortunes Favour Mibbes on 7 July, 2012 at 20:39
That is a very good summary of that lot.
I remember watching those jackboots parading in Dumbarton and the vermin, rather than enter McDonalds to use the toilet facilities, chose to pee into a hedge at the outside childrens play area. They have no respect for anything or anyone, no matter who or what they are.
I try to avoid furtive and clandestine goings on in my life, like most non masons. I wasn’t inclined to make an exception in this instance.

Ernie Q clandestine goings on?? Or an open invitation to meet and raise your questions with the board? You BOTTLED it, live with it.
