Fifa is unfit for purpose, investigations abound but we’ve not seen convictions yet. The president has not been arrested, but, well, he has president over this enormous shambles, yet he refuses to resign. His resignation is needed to relieve the reputation of Fifa, the reputation of football itself. We all know this, but SFA chef exec, Stewart Regan said as much.
The SFA is Blatter’s role model. Regan conceded SFA president Campbell Ogilvie was horribly conflicted, as the Association dealt with the consequences of the biggest directorial negation of duty in Scottish football history – by Ogilvie, who was director and company secretary of the dysfunctional board.
Ogilvie never resigned. Ogilvie has still not resigned. Regan said nothing. Ogilvie’s supporters in the game rallied round, just as Blatter’s have today.
This is how human nature works. Ogilvie has been in enough committee meetings, pressed enough flesh, to ensure that despite the slaying he took at the hands of Lord Nimmo Smith’s SPL inquiry, he could brass it out. Accountability at the SFA does not exist. I get it. But, the SFA cannot have the audacity to make moralistic statements about the corporate accountability of others.
It is a depressing feature of Scottish life that we don’t have a culture of accountability, that the media are not sufficiently plural that such hypocrisy is exposed for what it is, that there isn’t a single elected representative prepared to disengage with the Scottish establishment on this today.
The new media are not there yet. We don’t have the authority of a broadcaster or politician to demand, and get, accountability. That’ll change in time.

RWE, sorry to embarrass you but it’s WHISKY if you’re talking proper drams and whiskey if you mean the poor substitutes from the emerald isle.
Meet me here and we can discuss while I drink auld T McG under a few tables and chuck him a chicken bone:_)

The son in law is near to buying a place at the Santa Clara in Granada, they are for feck all, especially with the x rate just now, he reckons he has got the place 10K cheaper in the last 6 months.
So the 4 ball aint that far away :-)
Aye, the book has grown legs as they say, J has been on twatter doing what she does, and people who are people have been well impressed, hopefully it works out, no matter if it don’t, she has done what she set out to do, so far it’s well paid for itself, hundreds of downloads, and a couple of hundred or so hard copy’s, anything else is a bonus, but she is well chuffed about the prospect of a tele gig, too much if the truth be known, her heed is swellin big time :-)

Not sure I totally agree, thought ref and his team were looking tidy until THEY JUST COULD NOT HELP THEMSELVES and from 77’ onwards Madden and his linesmen, AS1 and AS2, gave erroneous decisions in Sevco favour at, 79’, 82’, 84’, 86’, 90’06”, 90’44” and 93’54”.
As is it he gave them favourable circumstances to get their goal.
Ref for Sunday is that well known, never been embarrassed by their erroneous decisions, Craig Thomson, Stuart Stevenson and Andrew McWilliam !
Integrity in Sport …..Blatter Ogilvie for president !

No bother – No I don’t live in the Briggs
Well I’ll tell you a story of whiskey and mystics and men
And about the believers, and how the whole thing began
First there were women and children obeying the moon
Then daylight brought wisdom and fever and sickness too soon

Hopefully catch you before you settle in that chariot.
No embarrassment ever with yourself.
I was having a wee joke with saint stivs and it kind of backfired on me.
My post after that was meant to be a punchline of sorts but I overcomplicated it.
Ankor Wat and a hootenanny flag flying near it – :o)
Be safe in those parts.

Big Nan thanks for your post @ 22:54.
An excellent read. I’m currently working @ Babcocks on the QEC project and working alongside an old Miner, A Big Fitba man, Celtic fan, he husnae been for many a year now though, fae High Valleyfield, he worked in a lot of the pits in the area, Loves his fishing.
Anyway, to the point, he is saying that the Freemasonic hand is getting worse ‘again’ in the Yard.
I’m actually based on the Clyde but we are over there working on the Carriers, I have no chance of doing anything in that environment because I told so many people about Freemasonry. And how it is Essential that you Believe in a God, so that the steps can change that God to Lucifer. It’s a tough environment when you talk like this to your workm8s. ;))
The Truth is the Truth.

To carry it on a bit further, I was given advice from a guy I feel, and he is a Rangers Man, cared about me. He said… Peter, you should really consider taking the redundancy package.
The background to this is, our Company had voluntary redundancies set in motion 18 months ago.
I thought about it a lot, the Brilliant FFM even offered me a chance to work alongside him, self employed (way mair money) and as secure work as can be expected in a 2 man operation, he works his own hours, I’d Love that.
I’m happy to be the least person in that Company, I will tell my Story that way to hopefully one person that it resonates with.
Yes – I’m a Stubborn B@wb@g

If you come with a Butchers Apron Beanie, you won’t get such a nice reception at the CQN corner. Frankly, Mr Shankly…. the CQN Corner would appreciate anyone like that having the Balls to do that.
It is a very Kind Corner, of that there isnae any doubt.
