Tom Rogic is well within his rights to take time to consider his next contract. He is thriving at Celtic, but with a year left on his current deal, the future is open. Front and centre of his mind, of all players’ minds, will be the dirty little subject. The money paid to lesser talents than Tom in England is incredible, Tom is well within his rights to ponder his position in the food chain.
Then there is his place in the Celtic squad. Brendan Rodgers is continually looking to improve the team. It doesn’t matter who you are, you cannot be sure of a place well into the future.
There are also reasons to consider why Celtic might be a good fit for him. He is not the archetypal English Premier League player, all physique and running. Tom is a throwback to not so long ago when craft on the ball got you into the team, not the ability to burst a lung for 90 minutes. All too often, he’s a 60 minute star.
Evidence is everywhere that he is a big game player and proven match winner, but he is not going to temp a title chasing team from England, instead it would be the bottom half battlers who are most likely to be interested in him. He’s not a natural fit. Better to stay with the champions.

Mark Sampson brandished pole while verbally abusing an official at Euro 2017
Watched the Scotland game last night.
It was God-awful. Scotland really are atrocious, and Eck will do well to last a year.
Empty stands, crap pitch, terrible atmosphere and dreadful players. The SFA really have presided over a total shambles here.
As for the forward McBurnie, the mad Sevco fan, dear lord he was the worst of the lot. Looked like an enthusiastic amateur who’d won a competition to play.
Re Club 1872(sic)
As far as I can see, each member pays a stipend to allow an organisation run by someone other than the member to own, and manage shares in Sevco. If a member stops paying, he has no individual shareholding of his own, he simply drops out, financially worse off. He has, in effect, donated that money to Club 1872, and nothing else.
Why wouldn’t that member just use his stipend to buy shares on the open market himself? He can stop and vary his payments at any time but will always be the owner of the shares he’s bought (and if Sevco is liquidated, he gets to keep the certificate!).
The situation becomes even murkier when you consider that one of the leaders of Club 1872 is James Blair, an ally of King and member of the Sevco board. For a supposedly independent fans organisation, this represents an obvious conflict of interest. Now King is saying he doesn’t want so many elections to the Club1872 board. Wonder why..?
Am I missing something here or is Club1872, in effect, a slush fund?
Gooooooooood Morning CQN

Had to reply to @The_Tman10 on twitter after this tweet from him.
Mute button on fire tonight. Can’t be arsed with bitter Celtic fans desperate for McLeish to fail. Don’t want to hear it. And i won’t anymore thankfully.?
My reply back below.
@The_Tman10 Alex McLeish admitted that Rangers (IL) cheated their way to every trophy during his four year reign at Ibrox & he was part of it you moron.
@The_Tman10 This is why we want him to fail. Why should he manage our country ? I suppose when you have a picture of a wife beater as your idol it just tells us what kind of person you are.
McLeish I think is a decent guy, who has expressed admiration for Celtic in the past (pre-RFC). His “132 years of unsurpassed dignity” comment was crass, but was made, I believe, in an attempt to appease the hordes who were harassing his family at the time.
My problem with his appointment is its crushing lack of imagination. Appointing McLeish was a concrete sign that the SFA have no intention of addressing Scottish football’s problems. They have no clear thought about the road ahead. No ambition for the national team and certainly no appetite to confront what’s gone wrong in Scottish football over the last 25 years.

Hi Bhoys
Was out for a drink in the loca llast night and the Scotland game was on. I still can’t get over that sky had wee bazza the fud on as a pundit. Now I would say I am anything but a Scotland football fan but I know guys who are and to think sky invited this wee cretin onto speak about Scotland, after what he did to Scotland fans is really just unbelieveable. Oh and his partner in crime was in goal nearly forgot that. Scotland and sky amatch made in hell.

Italiabhoy you are spot on. Alex McLeish is a decent bloke and he is no hun, however your are 100% correct, SFA puppet , old blue blazer handshake and not a fresh approach to Scottish football. In the same mode of operations as the sevco and will end up in the same abysmal failure.
CRC I posted last night that I would take 4 goes at the race night,don’t know if I was too late to the party or not, either way I’ll make my donation next week when I’m back from holiday
From TheTracingAgent.
The current Scotland Manager is sitting on an unpaid illegal EBT, has shown zero intention of righting that wrong, but if you dont wish him well you are a bigot? This is where Scottish Football is today.
ITALIABHOY on 24TH MARCH 2018 8:14 AM
Excellent post and spot on IMO.

Regarding the Scotland game. Have the Mitchell brothers managed to get free from Haley’s top yet?
ITALIABHOY on 24TH MARCH 2018 8:14 AM
Should have said I don’t know anything about McLeish, just a cheating Hun IMO
But the rest of your post is spot on , the SFA will never change.

Perjury At Police Scotland?
Those of my readers who have been closely following the estimable David Whitehouse taking Police Scotland and The Lord Advocate to task will know that he is not taking prisoners. To this end I can exclusively reveal that:
When the next David Whitehouse hearing comes to court, his counsel will be accusing DCI Robertson of committing perjury and providing proof of his makeasance.
The fact that the former Detective Sergeant was fast tracked for two promotions to add a veneer of credibility to his botched arrests and illegal seizure of client privileged documents cuts no ice with Whitehouse, Grier and Clark.
A cynic might contend that these promotions were an attempt by Police Scotland to cover their arse. Allowing a DS the free rein of their newly formed Economic Crime Unit was analagous to running the bulls in Pamplona through a china shop.
Of course one should not overlook the influence of Freemasonry in Robertson’s elevation. Everyone knows that the craft is rife in Police Scotland. Would looking the other way apropos King’s, Paul Murray’s and Yuanker Traynor’s Charlotte Fakovers endeavours be well perceived by the knuckle shufflers?
My impeccable source does not specify how Robertson’s perjury will be proven. One could venture that when Robertson claimed that he was using Mark Daly’s information as the basis of his investigation, while collating the contents of Craig Whyte’s hacked hard disk from King, he was being disingenuous but not necessarily engaging in perjury.
I would hazard that a closer look at Robertson’s affidavits might lead to a smoking gun. If Robertson’s pert assistant Jackie O’Neil added her tuppence worth in support of her superior officer, should counsel for Whitehouse also consider subornation of perjury viz the crime of persuading a person to commit perjury, which is a criminal offence in Scots Law?
The swearing of a false oath to tell the truth in a legal proceeding, whether spoken or written, is punishable by imprisonment. If perjury can be proven Police Scotland will have a dilemma:
1. Should they settle out of court on the proviso that messrs Whitehouse, Grier and Clark sign non-disclosure agreements. Robertson’s could be quietly ‘retired’ in the manner favoured by Dave King.
2. Alternatively do they go into bat holding their dicks hoping that the judiciary swings the lead and will do a solid for a pillar of the Scottish Establishment, risking the imprisonment of Robertson?
This matter has settlement written all over it. Proven perjury would hole the Police Scotland’s defence under the water line.
As for The Lord Advocate he must surely be aware that in 2000 the DTI prosecuted Jim Keegan. The Court of Session ruled that Keegan was ‘involved in fraudulent conduct’and banned him from being a company director for 3 years.
Keegan was involved in other shady business dealings and on one occasion was forced to admit, under oath, that he did not always tell the truth.
Could this also have been the case when Keegan took silk, or did his three years ban slip his mind? How remiss of him.
Throughout this time the Law Society did absolutely nothing about Keegan. One would not have to colour me surprised to note that Keegan was a Law Society Council member at that time.
However any man convicted of engaging in fraudulent conduct, with his elevation to silk shrouded in doubt, should not be leading the prosecution in preliminary hearings where individuals have been indicted for fraud.
One could argue that he should not have been leading any prosecutions whatsoever. One could incontrovertibly posit that Keegan won’t be asked to step up again.
Robertson took a hairy arse, an abacus and a knuckle shuffle to the table. Keegan took his admitted mendacity and an elevation to silk under dubious circumstances.
What could possibly have gone wrong? How about £16m and little change from £20m when one factors in the wild goose chase and costs. All paid for by the public purse.
Should one engage in a chorus of The Billy Boys to cheer Robertson up? Is he up to his knees in perjury?
