With former Rangers International director, Charles Green, no longer on the scene, Scottish Football League chief executive, David Longmuir, has had a sudden change of heart. After encouraging member clubs to reject the SPL proposal to merge leagues, yesterday he congratulated clubs who voted for the merger as “reluctant heroes”.
SFL president, Jim Ballantyne, was less pragmatic, “We are joining their [SPL] company, their organisation. They have swallowed us up. We could use nice words about it, but it is a takeover.”
On this occasion, we concur with Mr Ballantyne, who went on to say, “It will be for others to decide if this step takes us to where we want to go.”
The truth is that while this arrangement will do lots for clubs in the second tier of the game it will fundamentally change nothing, our challenges remain.
News this morning of impending financial doom at Hearts as a result of their lender and major shareholder going into liquidation presents another challenge. Hearts over-reached what looked like a bizarre attempt to spend money like there was no tomorrow. Memories of Zadoc the Priest blasting over the PA system at Tynecastle heralding their access to the Champions League qualifiers in 2006 will seem hollow now.
Scottish football has one perfectly solvent cash cow and nearly 40 businesses teetering on the brink. Send the cash cow off to graze in pastures where it can be fattened in return for writing a cheque big enough to solve the game’s problems.
Willie Wallace will be at the Celtic Store, Argyle St, for late night shopping, from 5.30-7.30 pm tonight (Thursday). Where you can buy a signed copy of his book and have a chat with the man himself. Bring a camera.
Immediately after leaving the Celtic Store Willie and Brogan Rogan (and a pile of books) are heading to the Greenock Celtic Supporters’ Club for a CQN Question and Answer evening. Entry costs £2 (all of which is going to our charity causes). DON’T FORGET YOUR CAMERA!!
Raffle tickets for this fabulous signed Celtic strip cost only £1, you’ve two days left to get a ticket, so fill your boots here.
Tomorrow, while some of us are relaxing in Fife, over a hundred Celtic fans will drive north ahead of a 1254125 Ben Nevis climb and Huddle. Two of our own are then cycling from Fort William back to Glasgow on Sunday…. They need sponsors for their 1254125 campaign. Even if you can’t make it up Ben Nevis you can help out here.
And, if your stuck in Lanarkshire tomorrow there’s a trivia quiz in aid of the Walk Centre, Nakuru, Kenyan, who help children and families of the slum. Quiz takes place at St John The Baptist Church Hall, Uddingston, 7.30 – 11.30.

We have to pick up our mail, as the postie won’t leave the village, I would be a kilo out, too far for him, and the post office, which would be a part of yer mans garage is only open for an hour a day, it should be open for half an hour more, but he is usually in the bar having coffee, before he tends to his fields, such is life in the sticks, I love it >}
Next week hopefully, if I get up in time, he is only open at the god forsaken time 9-10 >}

A first time poster on Hunmedia…obviously another hard down by turning on his cousins..rednecks!
This time last year i among the many other rangers supporters around the world
where distraught and angry about the treatment of a club which has carried the burden of the rest of Scottish football on it’s shoulders for decades. We watched as the rest of the SPL stuck the knife in when we where in a position of weakness. Now as Hearts look set to self implode i have only one request die in dignity you dilusional w*****s. P.S I here dignatas offer those kind of services

BBCQT …..
Riddoch did okay. Didn’t patronise the young’ns.
Poor Ruth Davidson… Riding a horse with no legs. Wee bit embarrassed to be a Scottish Tory.
Sarwar – honestly is he the 2nd best NL have in Scotland? Hang on, he’s probably 1st bestest. Yikes!
Robbo – mmmmmm. Defensive but outnumbered.
Farage- bricking it.
Gorgeous G – Still amusing, still 17 in his own head, still Cellick daft but still thinking “shall I be the cat?”
ough the muddy road through a village. A baby cries. People wrestle in the mud. A woman beats a cat.
The cart-master chants wearily as they trudge along:
Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead! etc. while beating occasionally on a large triangle with a wooden spoon.
As each person comes forward with his or her dead relative, they throw them on the cart. He holds out his hand and they pay.
Bring out your dead!
A man comes out with a dead-looking old man in a nightshirst slung over his shoulder. He starts to put the old man on the cart.
Man: Here’s one-Cart-master: Ninepence. Old Man: (feebly) I’m not dead! Cart-master: (suprised) What?Man: Nothing! Here’s your ninepence…. Old Man: I’m not dead! Cart-master: ‘Ere! ‘E says ‘e’s not dead! Man: Yes he is. Old Man: I’m not! Cart-master: ‘E isn’t?Man: Well… he will be soon– he’s very ill… Old Man: I’m getting better! Man: No you’re not, you’ll be stone dead in a moment. Cart-master: I can’t take ‘im like that! It’s against regulations! Old Man: I don’t want to go on the cart…. Man: Oh, don’t be such a baby. Cart-master: I can’t take ‘im…. Old Man: I feel fine! Man: Well, do us a favor… Cart-master: I can’t! Man: Can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won’t be long… Cart-master: No, gotta get to Robinson’s, they lost nine today. Man: Well, when’s your next round?Cart-master: Thursday. Old Man: I think I’ll go for a walk…. Man: You’re not fooling anyone, you know–(to Cart-master) Look, isn’t there something you can do…?
(they both look around)
Old Man: I feel happy! I feel happy!
(the Cart-master deals the old man a swift blow to the head with his wooden spoon. The old man goes limp.)
Man: (throwing the old man onto the cart) Ah. thanks very much. Cart-master: Not at all. See you on Thursday! Man: Right! All right….
King Arthur and his trusty servant, Patsy, “ride” through the town and past the men.
Man: ‘Oo’s that then?Cart-master: I don’t know. Must be a king. Man: Why Cart-master: ‘E ‘asn’t got shit all over ‘im.

Just back in from a great Celtic night in Greenock. Sat in the company of a Celtic Legend.
Willie was outstanding and so sharp. His stories were brilliant. BRTH was there somewhwere as well….Cant wait to see him in full tilt at the sportsmans night.
As usual on these Celtic nights we raised money for Charity which we will donate in the name of CQn for the 125125 fund.
A big shout out must go to the committee for giving everyone who was there a free refreshment to celebrate being with Willie.
Some nights unlesss you wee there you cant explain.
I thought the compere was great and the Priest has a wee bit of hiding coming on…
Thanks to everyone.. Hail hail for a great night….
Great night at the Greenock Celtic Supporters Club which raised over £300 for 1254125 which is being donated under the CQN name. Lots of CQNers – some from as far away as Blackpool – they drove up after work just to be thee! – joined the supporters from the Greenock, Gourock and Port Glasgow clubs.
Willie and BRT&H entertained the crowd for HOURS – just couldn’t shut them up!
Willie speaking about the problems in Scottish football said that when he looked at that table yesterday on the league reconstruction – it was full of people associated with the one team. He said THAT is the problem with Scottish football!
Lots of great stories about the Lions – great jokes and the two of them ran through the book. Willie signed every book as usual – a great night in a brilliant CSC, where we were made to feel very welcome.

Portuguese giant Amido Baldé joins Celtic. The striker was one of the highlights this season at Guimarães.
You will not read this in the laptop loyal

Expect to see: ‘Celtic sign QPR reject’ or ‘Celtic panic buy unknown!’
Meanwhile, over at Sevco, Ally is getting round to breaking it to trialists that, as a result of the league reconstruction, he’s not going to be able to sign them.

The one thing that is sacrosanct is our Hoops.
hey Nike leave our Hoops alone
Human kindness is overflowing.
Two men playing golf. First guy tees off and goes into the deepest rough.
‘You’ll be taking that as a lost ball’ says his friend
‘No, thanks to a microprocessor in the ball and an app on my phone, I can pinpoint my ball’s location to within 5 cm’
‘That’s amazing!’ Says his friend, ‘does it work in snow?’
‘It’s got a tiny heater in it which melts the snow round about to give you a clear shot, if it goes in water it’s got a ballast tank which blows and causes it to float to the surface.’
‘I want one, how much does it cost?’
‘Search me, I found it!’
