SFA double down with Scottish Government

240
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

This morning’s CQN story on the discrepancy of how the SFA and Scottish Government treated Celtic, after Boli Bolingoli’s break of rules, and Newco, after their second breach, this one involving five of their players, illustrates what we are up against.

The SFA took 18 days to ban Bolingoli, whereas with Tavernier injured and a ban-awaiting Patterson the only remaining right back, the Association took 45 days to respond and issue their bans.

Nicola Sturgeon took to the podium to express her anger when postponing two Celtic games following the Bolingoli incident, whereas she had a Government spokesperson “commend” Newco for swiftly acting at their first incident.  The second Newco incident saw the First Minister talk only about her ambivalence to “Celtic and Rangers [sic.]”.

If she does not see the disconnect between her words and actions it speaks volumes of what she is prepared to overlook.  I am not a fan.

    I normally don’t bother with the rumours

     

    but with Hammond gone and gonzagga’s tweet

     

    I believe its getting close. But then again!!!!!!!!

    Lenny, Peter and, now, Mr Hammond leaving.

     

    The review recommendations being effected?

     

    Decks are – clearly – being cleared.

     

    Despite the club’s governance meekness, I feel a tingle of optimism.

     

    It’s the fan in me.

    I note, with interest, the SFA are having some discussions on ‘racism’.

     

     

    Is now an opportune time for Celtic to highlight the unique abuse of our players?

     

    Is abuse of a black Scotsman in scope?

     

    Is the abuse of a white Irishman?

     

     

    If not now, then when?

    Good luck with that. The racists have lens that turn a blind eye as far as Newlands never mind SSB on the Clyde.

    Rumors are that Eddie Howe is doing his due diligence on us….dipping into contacts to find out all he can about our club, structure etc.

     

     

    Not sure if it’ll happen but thankfully the Keane story is sailing off into the sunset.

    Denise Coates of bet365 has paid herself over £420m last year.

     

    At least she pays her taxes.

     

     

    Who said gambling doesn’t pay.

    From The Herald a few days ago:

     

     

    ` but the defender revealed it had been prompted by the sickening incident involving Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara in the Europa League`

     

     

    Once again, reported as though it is a fact.

     

     

    Drew.

     

    Ya wee bugger !! Caught me with ease.

  37. Hot Smoked on

    Gene

     

    So true. In spite of that, CQN reporting that Edie Howe is `seriously interested` in joining Celtic. The source? The Sun.

     

    ( Unless, of course, I have been duped again !!).

    Thanks from me to the CQNer who posted the video of Odsonne’s latest in a long line of goals for France U21s.

     

     

    From the few clips I’ve seen over the last 2 years he always looks very comfortable, composed and purposeful in that set up.

     

     

    He is a very young man living a long way from home during a pandemic.

     

     

    He is also an absolutely superb footballer.

     

     

    IMHO – the most talented individual in the Scottish game (and by some distance).

     

     

    If he leaves this summer he’ll go with my thanks and best wishes.

     

     

    And his new club will acquire a gem.

     

     

    Hail hail

     

     

    Keep The Faith

    Oh well,whilst we are on these April Fool stories, Sevco owe millions and will be going out of business soon.

    Paul your relentless loyal crusade for the union is getting boring. I get that you are not a fan of independence.

     

     

    I am not big on the resolution debate but why don’t you do some editorials on Celtics board complicity in the 5 way agreement and why they worked with the other parties to resurrect the zombies.

     

     

    Our next era can’t start without an open and honest admission on what happened.

     

     

    Hail Hail
