The SFA today confirmed that they have been able to confirm Paul Murray Fit and Proper to run a football club. After Mr Murray’s previous tenure as a football club director, I’m absolutely delighted he will again be working his magic. At Ibrox.
The SFA Professional Game Board specifically considered Murray’s “intentions as a Director to avoid a repetition of the mistakes of the past”, which presumably involved some kind of commitment to keep his new club spending within its income parameters. This will be a challenge.
Some will be surprised that Murray has been given the green light, specifically after the opinion Lord Nimmo Smith expressed on directors of Rangers (in liquidation), but I’m happy this conclusion was arrived at correctly.
I searched and searched the SFA statement for news on ‘Glib and Shameless’, but they’ve clearly been unable to accept whatever assurances he’s been able to provide them, so far. Few will be surprised at this.
There’s a fine line between legitimate sporting rivalry and over-stepping the mark; the John Guidetti case illustrates this. If during a TV interview John had said Rangers (sic) are “an embarrassment of a football company”, he may have legitimacy on his side, but it’s rude to say so.
Anyone saying this on TV about any club would be asked not to by the SFA. The Association clearly believe whole “dead huns” thing falls into the same category, and have asked John to desist from such comment on TV in future, without censure.
You can’t offend the dead!
Fair enough.
I’m in a good mood, it’s as though we’re going to win the league, or something.

Bring Flowers Of The Rarest May Crowning Song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTeWWa4J700
Just listening to Count John McCormack singing Ave Maria; before that it was his version of Panis Angelicus and Canon Sydney McEwan singing Bring Flowers of the Rarest, one of my all time favourite hymns.

If the huns don’t get promoted I wouldn’t be surprised if the goalposts are moved to accommodate them.
I know there is rules in stat that says it can’t happen, nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to them. Ie…murray being found fit and proper!
Have they even paid the fines from the sfa?
Still, it’s good taking the piss out of them in a daily manner:))
Prestonpans,
Unfortunately I’ll not manage in tonight. :(
Can’t remember the guys name. 50 ish. Quite big. Cropped grayish hair.
Anyways……enjoy:))

steinreigned …
I certainly hope you are right, but fear that may not be the case….. However, if you are proven right, there will be no one more happy than I to buy you a pint or two and say that you were right.
I keep saying that on here …I could end up buying a lot of pints!
And I could say something crazy like, if we win 10 in a row, I’ll run naked from Celtic Park to the Govan Graveyard… but, by then, I will be well into my 50’s and nobody would really want to see that … so, a pint or two will have to do.

I could not care two fecks who is fit and proper to run the Zombies (better not say Huns). They are well and truly knackered, that even wee Fergus could not sort them out. I look forward to be amused as they sink deeper and deeper into the shit. Bring back Sally and Walter I say.

That would be funny if Fergus said he would step in and but them…
Buy- but
sipsini … as you say, nothing that happens to help them would surprise me at this point…

My May Day recollection from school was different.
The headmaster, Mr Murphy decided to address the whole primary school as we were lined up (remember that) in our classes.
He said “Boys and Girls, on this sunny May Day we are thinking of the colour blue and what that means to all of us at this time. Tell me what the colour blue means to you today?”
He nearly fell backwards when all the boys and some of the girls bellowed out “Rangers”.
He was visibly taken aback and had no idea how his good idea had so dramatically backfired on him. He spluttered “No, no, no – Mary, the Mother of Jesus.”
The teachers were even sniggering behind their hands.
Poor soul.
My all time favourite, by the bye, is “I rise from dreams of time”. (Don’t know the proper title.) Class…….

Re: the naked man scenario
I think it will have to be somewhere between eight and 10 *pints for me to deal with that situation
* other drinks are available which given their strength would requite fewer trips to the bar
‘GG – I’ve used many if not all those tricks in the past :)
My eldest son is moving out of the house today into his own place. Mrs MN is badgering me to get home early to help. I haven’t shared with her that the Bhoys are playing this afternoon as that would ultimately provide the proof she needs that I value Celtic above all else. Such a dilema.
I think the closed door conference call with myself will be the way to go.
Hope all is well for you and yours on the East coast.
Cowboy,

Must be a different family mate. I can’t think of a Brian.
Sevco have no player in the Championship team of the year, that says it all, They are pish.
They are no threat, I want them to stay down as its likely to bankrupt them sooner but part of me would enjoy seeing them humped in the SPFL every week.
However I don’t really give a flying duck about them either way, we are on the verge of 4 in a row, that is what we should be concentrating on and enjoying.
Sorry Cowieboy.
steinreigned
sadly, I am a real lightweight when it comes to booze … so, it may take you 8-10 beers to consider it…. but, after 2 or 3 glasses of wine, I might just be pished enough to do it!
Herbo
Just teasing’ mate, my cousin Brian never expressed any interest in the famous Glasgow Celtic…
We’re no fae the Toon, oot in the Shire, Carfin, Hamilton and Storehouse of all places:))

Corkcelt we don’t have to be so one dimensional. We can enjoy our 4 in a row at the same time as demanding justice and weeding out the corruption.
If one of the assurances that the Kays catalogue male model gave to the SFA Professional Panel was that he would ensure that the fledgling club only spent within its means, then we are dancing for quite a while yet.
They are skint, they have no credit line, they have no sugar daddy, they have no merchandising income, they have no “lodge” bank pal to grant them loans, they have no Minty to move dud cheques from one pocket to another, they have no European income – and they have a boardroom/investor battle that will only suck more energy and funds as it plays out.
Wonder of the minutes of that meeting will ever be released so that accountability and transparency are seen in operation?

Great Ballad, particularly for anyone with Wexford connections
At Boolavogue as the sun was setting
O’er the bright May meadows of Shelmalier,
A rebel hand set the heather blazing
and brought the neighbours from far and near.
Then Father Murphy from old Kilcormack
Spurred up the rocks with a warning cry:
‘Arm! Arm!’ he cried, ‘For I’ve come to lead you;
For Ireland’s freedom we’ll fight or die!’
He led us on against the coming soldiers,
And the cowardly yeomen we put to flight:
‘Twas at the Harrow the boys of Wexford
Showed Bookey’s regiment how men could fight.
Look out for hirelings, King George of England;
Search every kingdom where breathes a slave,
For Father Murphy of County Wexford
Sweeps o’er the land like a mighty wave.
We took Camolin and Enniscorthy
And Wexford storming drove out our foes
‘Twas at Slieve Coilte our pikes were reeking
With the crimson blood of the beaten Yeos.
At Tubberneering and Ballyellis
Full many a Hessian lay in his gore,
Ah! Father Murphy had aid come over
The green flag floated from shore to shore!
At Vinegar Hill, o’er the pleasant Slaney
Our heroes vainly stood back to back,
and the Yeos at Tullow took Father Murphy
and burned his body upon a rack.
God grant you glory, brave Father Murphy
And open Heaven to all your men,
The cause that called you may call tomorrow
In another fight for the Green again.

Nothing sad about that. Sensible behaviour should always be encouraged.
I’m not a heavy drinker either – as BMCUW in particular can testify.
Although I’ve always been fairly well behaved in his company.

Yer not wrong, that visit to Storehouse was always a gauntlet run:))
The future is bright. Sevco are in the shite. Happy Days.

I remember being at Vinegar Hill aged 16 with tears streaming down my eyes.
Your heart is in the right place Herbo, God Bless you.

Good shout on Paul Murray……..he’s done it before he’ll do it again.
Showtime!!
BSR
It’s half time in the Schools Cup Final at Somervell Park?…
Hopefully Celtic can get an early goal tonight and have the game won well before the end.
I can’t stand the thought of an unexpected slip.
We are too close to the glory now.
