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.

Yer beloved Celtic board are party to this agreement.
In other words….the duplicious-snakes that you innocently hand yer hard earned money to are part of the corruption that you bleat about:)
So, what are ‘you’ and guid folk like ‘you’….going to do…?
Continue to be suckered by these snakes…?
Or, empty them…?
Then ‘you’ wont need to bleat anymore…:)
Follow the KevJungle routine…dont hand yer money over to the snakes…then they’ll be gone……

30 years ago today – 39 died at a football match.
My friends in Celtic,
The term ba@b@g was widly used on here last night.
The term is now in the dictionary, there is merchandise called it, there are companies referencing it, in fact in 2011 there was even a hurricane named after it.
I give you Bawbag, and if the cap fits.
Captain Beef-heart @20.28hrs last night.
“PL has some powers. Each week he manages to make Celtic supporters watch a Rangers game. Alternatively, some Celtic men just can’t live without a Rangers rivalry. Each to their own.”
——————————————
I will not comment, but compare the number of posts to yesterday at this time.
The really good thing from a Celtic perspective is that we should have a major boost from CQN,ers on this last day for ST renewals. ?
HH.
All the best to MT’s bhoy today.
Just popped in to wish MTs bhoy good luck for today.
Kevj- change the fecking record man, I’m not on here much lately but whenever I am, you sound like a hurtin zombie.
HH to all good Celtic people
Good morning CQNers,
A remarkably low foul count in last night’s game.
I really can’t see it continuing in the 2nd leg and that, coupled with the last night’s result has prompted me into having a couple of bets, the 1st is that sevco will score a penalty (8/1), the 2nd is they’ll miss a penalty (25/1).
I think I’ve got it covered.
The winning proceeds will go to Mary’s Meals.
God bless all Tims.
Liverpool have had a £10m bid for England right-back Nathaniel Clyne rejected by Southampton.
Dearie me. When will they learn?

Sepp Blatter…how the feck is he getting away with this.
Shocking.

Bestaluck to MIGHTYTIM jr today.
Put another nail in the coffin of this iniquitous Act.
Mighty Tim:
Good luck to your Bhoy today.

Because he has enough delegates bought and paid for. He’s bombproof and will win again a canter. He’ll then spend the next four years ignoring everything that’s went on.

Best of Luck

“At least Blatter isn’t a racist .He doesn’t care about colour – white , brown and yellow are all equal in his eyes .The only thing that counts is what is in the envelope.”

I think…..That UEFA, will cause it…..withdraw all European teams from Russia World Cup.
Its more than football now….its geopolitical.
The Americans extending their reach…..Captain America.
Soccer.
Should be interesting….if numpties at the Hun SFA are challenged…..its about time.
We need a football revolution.
HH
The Scottish FA has gathered further evidence from Dundee as they investigate the allegation that Dundee United striker Nadir Ciftci bit winger Jim McAlister on the leg during Sunday’s derby.
Now this may just get interesting. On the balance of probabilities I would wager that the SFA will not treat this boy the same as Tonev.
LB
Even if Blatter went, it would just be some other crook. The Vice President who was arrested this week had a reputation as being anti-corruption and the “future” of FIFA.
Just look at our football association and you will see that there are thousands of suits across hundreds of associations who are more interested in getting a cosy job for themselves in Switzerland.
Kevjungle,
You are consistent I give you that, and some of your morning “debate” is very true.
However in the days of the jungle we were not only dumped in uncovered ends in hampdump and ibrokes . We were shoehorned into a west terracing with only a partial cover.
Does this constitute “back of the bus” treatment in the jungle days?.
HH to you.
Congrats to Mr and Mrs PFayr.

I know I asked this question already. Just tweeting with the guy who wrote fine article about the Scottish coaches. who was first not white player in celtic jersey and when?
Who was first not catholic and wehen?
I guess Zachodny made an mistake in his article and said that Stein had to wait because he was not catholic and then had to leave celtic for a short time because of this.
I was in Queen Street station last night just before 9pm. I’d already checked the score so knew that Motherwell were ahead. About a dozen fans of the new club came into the station, obviously straight from the underground. Seems like they must have done walking away at half time.
The late goal to make it 3 – 1 could be very important. I hope Motherwell score first and put to to bed, but if it goes the other way a one goal lead is fragile and brings the officials into play. This one might note be all over yet.
Bobbio
I know!
Love from your simpleton mhate.

I think Cifti will have the book thrown at him. Thompson not afraid to stand up to fitba authorities, Cifti linked with move to Celtic and apparently incriminating pictures of incident.

Italian media stating that the vote re suspending Israel from FIFA will take place today .A secret ballot..Legal experts claiming that a Palestinian victory will have the added consequence of ending FIFA’s and UEFA’s -No Politics stance.
Mighty Tim junior…up in front of the beaks today….victim of a penal-law…concocted by many dubious characters…Celtic’s directors ye know the ones…the kow-towing-churchill-nodding-dogs…agreed to this law being rail-roaded through the Scottish parliment in an attempt to make it look as though Celtic and Rangers fans are as bad as each other.
Celtic supporters should have downed tools(SB-money) and, insisted that if Celtic dont throw the best legal-team that money can buy to…get this mess sorted…then, being made criminals in the name of a duplicious-PLC-Board who’s forte is…to look the other way…is not on!
What a flukin country!!!
NegAnon2 is right…it’s like Mississippi 1960.
Good luck Mighty Tim Junior
