News that Dundee United will vote against allocating a place in next season’s SPL to Sevco confirms what we suggested yesterday, that sentiment has swung against the notion. Motherwell’s innovative idea of allowing fans (who have already expressed overwhelming opposition to the idea) a vote is further evidence that even hard-pressed clubs are prepared to make financially difficult decisions. Suggestions that the Motherwell board should grow a pair and take responsibility themselves have some merit.
Stewart Milne has denied BBC reports that Aberdeen have decided to vote against but I expect this is a matter of due process more than any genuine indecision.
There was a feeling this morning that matters could be brought to a head sooner than 4 July if enough clubs publicly declared against Sevco. This would suit Charles Green’s company as they would be able to prepare offers to Rangers players (who they are able to sign) knowing where they are likely to end up. If they are forced to wait until 4 July, Sevco will not know what squad requirements they will need for next season before making a decision on what Rangers players to offer employment to.
More than SPL football, Sevco need clarity. A rush to declare against them might seem harsh but it would be enormously beneficial rather than being forced to wait a further 12 days.

I think so mate, MWD has offered to pick me up and drop me off.
He just doesn’t know it :-))
Logged on twenty minutes ago and reading back I am really really worried. Am I the only one in the sooside not being investigated, taken to court, dead, a zombie or in serious feckin trouble and facing jail. Then I remembered that I am not one of them.
Phew, life is good the future is bright…….

IMO – best Celtic stay silent and let the others do the talking. That way we cannot be accused of influencing other clubs, or deflecting media attention from the ‘recently deceased’.
The CSA has called a Delegates Meeting on Sunday re proposal to boycott clubs that support Newco. I think we can all forecast the outcome and Celtic can quote the feelings of our fans when they officially declare their position.

got to agree….the negativity on here rips my knitting sometimes….they are dead and some people on here still think they can control things from beyond the grave

I suspect you know the answer to your own question.
Celtic will not declare their instinctive and categoric no vote publicly, because it would become a Celtic driven agenda and might adversely affect how things have gone up until now.
Sevco have made a perfectly good job of self destruction without Celtic having to say a single word, and the longer we stay out of it the better, preferably all the way till they’ve gone.
I’d be disappointed if Celtic had not been involved in behind closed doors talks with all of the other SPL chairmen, to declare how we would be voting.

Terry I got knocked back by BKs in the early 90s for a maintenance job in Glasgow Airport, looking for sparks with the Approved card whilst I had the SJIB Tech card. They sent the application form back stating to answer all questions marked with an asterisk. Only one question ,Which secondary school did you attend?
I filled it in St Stephens. Two days later I received the dear john from them.

Good evening all. I would just like to say that there is real meaning to the phrase “SILENCE IS GOLDEN”. Remember, that CFC is Green (ho, ho!), White (not with a Y) and GOLD (silence of the lambs but with wolf’s clothing in the wardrobe!)
Hail, hail!
Don’t post very often ( leave that to the more informed ) , but though I’d let everyone know that there is a football festival in memory of Reamonn Gormley taking place tomorrow at Hamilton Palace Sports Ground .
Celtic are sending along a couple of under 9 (2004) teams to take part .
Starts at 9:30 with Celtic on from 11:30-12:30 .

I believe that the Hateley “new player” thing is to do with Hateley propensity for turning most “Rangers” related news into that very expression.
Nasmith coming back? It will be like signing a new player.
Blooding young players (through necessity) ? It will be like signing a new player..
Apprently, Hateley has made the same comment on many an occasion.
—————————————————————
Dundee Utd ,Aberdeen and Hearts voting no to newclub in SPL is like signing a new player says Mark hately
It’s not all bad news for Newco. In fact, they will have an opportunity to win silverware and Celtic will miss out. Never mind the 3rd Division title, they will qualify to for The Ramsdens Cup.
I originally thought it was the fish & chip mob but no – it’s a pawnbroking and financial services company.Ironic or what?

Hi guys. Your stories bring back memories of my destruction days (that’s how my foreman described my work!). I had several meetings with BK looking for contracts. I used to go with my arm in a sling so that I didn’t need to shake any hands. Mind you they were not alone. By the time I retired I nearly had a bore-hole in my palm with funny finger tickling. Out of it now and far away from Renfrew. Great to be hands-free (of masons) again.

I seem to recall Duff & Duffer threatened legal action against the BBC after Mark Daly’s documentary – like Craig Whyte did before them.
In both cases no legal action appears to have taken place. I guess the wheels of justice grind very, very slowly…
Time to warm up for the game – wine will soon be at room temperature.
Night all,

Gordon Strachan..Oor Newly-Minted Director of Football….
Right….?
Right!
Roberto Martinez……………….”The Greeks have done phenomenal”
*kind of glad he didn’t attempt phenomenally*
Assuming that sevco can support their SPL application with the necessary documentation, you know, the kinda things the SPL will demand at entry level as a minimum:
1. Business plan/financial projections which underpin their ability to complete the fixture list.
2. Venue to host home matches – licence/lease to play somewhere, or proof of ownership of their own ground.
3. Registered players
4. Fit’n’proper stuff on the owner /directors
The next wee problem might be something to wear during their matches. I know they don’t need a European away top this year, but a home and an away strip will be essential. The old company had one, manufactured by umbro under contract between the old company/JJB (whatever) and umbro. It also had the badge of the soon to be defunct rangers.
New contract, new strip and new badge required (after they get permission for what the new name should be)
No to naturist newco !

Don’t know if its been mentioned on here but apparently Sir Cardigan is to receive an honorary degree from Caledonian Uni for his services to football and to recognise his achievements in the game.
I can’t say anything else without risking a ban…..
Allegedly, – Jim Cummings one of Aberdeen’s biggest shareholders threatens to try and force an EGM if board support Newco bid to play in the SPL.
Do you think Greece should put all the money they have got at the bookies on a German win???

Is that the captain’s armband that Sammi is wearing, or is it in memory of a newly deceased football club???

jimtim,
do you think doncaster can do these things without the backing of the rest of the board?
*******
HE,S the guy pumping his gums the most mate . IMHO they would have been gone ages ago if the governance of scottish football had followed their own guidlines for wrong doing . Every effort has been made to help this mob ,make no mistake about that . Just my tuppence worth again , but i wouldn,t hold my breath expecting a result from motherwell . Also watching the portugal game last night , did i hear correctly that the portugal manager at one time was banned for 6 months for pulling the red card from the refs hand while he was about to send off one of his team mates . That cant be right , you dont get banned for that .

These commentators are an absolute joke ……cheeky barstewards also
Watching the game in the Polish TV.
Polish expert- How Germany will play? One of the most famous coaches in the history of football, coach of Celtic Glasgow used to say: the best defence is our players settled in the penalty area of the opposite team.
That’s the first time I’ve ever seen Sami go in studs first like that.
Shocked
I’ve heard Europe and Rangers been mentioned far too much lately its laughable these last few surreal months. At this rate the only team Charlie’s boys will be squaring up to are more likely to be……
Athletico Patick
Jossys Giants
Melchester Rovers
Grange Hill Under 15s
Tottenham Rovers et al
Hot Shot Hamish and Kevin “Mighty” Mouse to be announced as first signi………………..[Oh wait Charles,…I don’t think the berrs’ll be too keen oan him]

Remember is Duff & Duffer who were never on time with anything (the final, final, date for offers will be…. unless we get none then it will be ….). However they did finish their statement ‘welcoming’ Lord Hodges request with the the information that the guy Isaac’s on Daly’s BBC programme who said they were rogues has changed his mind. With that in mid they were consulting their lawyers.
Funny soon afterwards Daly tweeted that Isaac’s in fact was not retracting what he said at all.
Wonder who is telling the truth? Who do you think I should believe……
