I was asked a cracking question last night: ‘Everyone knows Rangers went into administration on 14 February 2012, but do you know what date they came out of administration?’
Can anyone guess? This is the material Cognitive Dissonance is made of.
Duff and Phelps did an incredible job. Had they stuck to Whyte’s plan, put a fait accompli to the SPL, with a matter of days to decide, ‘Our Hero’ would still own the ground, the club and would still be exalted by those who initially crowned him ‘Our Hero’, before the term became a weapon of irony.
We got a further glimpse into the goings-on at Cardiff before popular and successful manager, Malky Mackay, was sacked. Chief exec, Simon Lim, while commenting on the £30m loss the club made last season, as a Championship club, spoke of the signing of 20-year-old striker Andreas Cornelius for £7.5m, from Copenhagen, with a £45k per week, 5 year contract, somewhat more than the £6k he was previously coping with in Denmark.
Earlier this month Malky said, “What I said at the time still stands. £7.5m was our record transfer at the time but a hit-the-ground-running centre-forward in the Premier League costs two or three times that and every team in the Premier League are striving for someone like that.”
There you have it, £7.5m is not enough to buy a hit-the-ground-running centre-forward, you’ll need two or three times that! In England, reality really is a different country (this is not me getting involved in the referendum debate, before the nationalists start trolling me again).
English football is broken in ways it is increasingly difficult to fathom. Only the persistent annual losses and ballooning debt figures offer a glimpse into what the future may hold.
Our namesakes, Belfast Celtic, withdrew from league football shortly after their players were attacked by a mob following the final whistle at game against Linfield on Boxing Day 1948. Star man, Jimmy Jones, died yesterday. The then 20-year-old was thrown over a wall and out of the stadium, breaking his leg in the process.
That was the end for Belfast Celtic but Jimmy recovered and is the Irish League’s all-time top goalscorer.

MIDI ( Musical instument digital interface) is the means by which synths etc can be linked together. For instance if you had a sound on your floor standing keyboard Yamaha DX7 or Korg M1 for example which you liked but prefered to prance around the stage with a small keyboard in a Scissors Siters stylee, you could link them up by MIDI. Presumably a midi file is what is transferred.
Hope this helps

Just back in from a lovely meal out with wife, and one of my sons…..sitting down now to relax and watch a good film………zzzzzzzz
PF / fan-a-tic………..
When you think how far this Blessed blog has come I think it requires us all to be appreciative (imo) of efforts done voluntarily on our behalf. Yes we can all be constructively critical………..
I’m really proud of what’s been achieved by ordinary fullahs doin’ extraordinary things on behalf of Celtic supporters.
I’m guessing neither WC or BRTH are trained journalists……………but their talents and enthusiasms had a go……
BRTH is a natural story-teller, and I could happily listen to him talk Celtic and life all night. WC has gotten involved…………. Did BRTH go for the jugular? No.
I suspect the boul’ Pat would have ducked any overtures from…… errm …………….bona-fide hacks anyway…..
however, what some Celtic supporting Supporters do is give Nevin the chance to atone for his wrongdoings.
…………..It’s not their fault he ducked it.
I really hope Nevin puts the record straight sometime. He owes it to himself and in doing so, might do us some good too.

Fan a tic – position at moment is *un knows we know. His bosses know we know and everyone on here knows we know. They have a sleeping dogs policy at moment but said *un won’t be doing that again. Before it was open season on Celtic fans with no consequences. Never been a fan of sleeping dogs. That’s why we went after Nevin.
Btw – anyone on Facebook – Sevco fans en masse on the Cqn magazine page attacking us over a Bye Bye Rangers post – off to annoy them more!

Three cheers for Tommy Gemmell….who put us on the level.
Can’t believe I’ve been away all week and missed the big man on the blog.
He kicked ass so much better than any other Lion.
Can anyone remember Mark Hughes getting sent off for similar in an FA Cup tie ?
Manky Monkeys v Sheffield United….,I couldn’t stop laughing for hours afterwards.
Are the Huns still deed and did Sevco pay the leccy bill just in time?
Has Captain James Kirk bought a lingerie firm from that cow Moany Michelle and renamed it Shatner Knickers?
Cheers soal

I’m no expert but if it has an external input I presume so. Are the files on disk or memeory card or another format?

This weekend I’m working but think my wee bonnie upgrade will finish tomorrow. Is that too little notice for my CQN green badge to be collected at CP on Sunday?
Looker on Mastermind?- we must have different tastes- to me it looks like a guy in a frock

BRTH has just made me think (he usually has that effect).
I know we all like to bang on about the lickspittle SMSM and their pathetic excuse for journalists, who are afraid to ask difficult questions in Sevconia.
Do you agree they were just as terrified of big Jock back in his day?
He was an intimidating figure at times…..thankfully to Celtic’s benefit.

They told me to ring back as he was busy Wokking his dog.

OK thanks, hoping to make the game on Sunday, hate not using my SB
WC. BRTH. Liked your piece regards unfinished business with the BBC. Nevin will have to live in the knowledge that we all know he is a soup taker , a guy with no backbone . A yes man . Can I ask is it not possible to name and shame the @uns who are at the back of all this media bias against our club . And it’s also alive and kicking in the other stations too .
Big packie
If they arer on CD then you can load them up on a laptop or PC and perhaps connect via a USB to jack cable into the input on your keyboard.
Kinda out of my depth here.

How are you this very snowy evening? (Well it is here) :-))
Weefra HH supporting Wee Oscar.
Have a good one
CRC, all that is true, but you and your boyfriend(CowieBhoy) werent buying;-)
Do we have anyone for the quiz ?
” I understand that Nevin telephoned Goram on Sunday and again yesterday to express his personal support, and yesterday John Boyle, stated his own support very publicly, while manager Billy Davies was also there to back up the man they call ”The Goalie”.”
Funny that backs Goram’s posed UVF pics to he hilt but slaughters us without mercy live on the BBC when he never even heard any singing.
But then he told the Justice Committee that he heard the words “joined the IRA Provisional wing” and hundreds of us tried to get him sacked from the BBC for condemning that?
I’m confused by Pat, I think I’ll have to have a lie down.
