Some sympathy for Stewart Robertson

728

I know lockdown is causing much anxiety, but can you imagine being in Newco chief exec Stewart Robertson’s shoes these days?  He must have known the gig was up when he decided not to release his ‘evidence’ before clubs were able to send proxy vote to block his EGM resolution.

I’m sure he hoped the SPFL would announce they have enough votes in the bag, allowing him to flounce off, instead of substantiating his claim, but those he wanted sacked at the League will want to see this play out as much as the rest of us.

He even has Graeme Spiers calling him out as the weakest man he’s met in football.  For a man in his position, “weak” is the most damning word, it will resonate with those whose support he relies on.  And let’s not forget, he has tens of millions to find to continue trading though next season, by comparison, this SPFL mess is like a July Walk on the Queen’s highway.

From what I hear, Stewart is a decent bloke, one made for less complex times.  His strings are almost certainly being pulled by some sinister Geppetto character.  If he fails to produce his ‘evidence’, this afternoon’s Premiership club meeting will be an excruciating, if not humiliating, affair.  It will all be over soon, Stewart; you hang in there.

I’m sure we would all like to congratulate PSG on winning the ninth title in their history and seventh in eight years yesterday, apart from that Neymar character, of course.  The story for Scottish football in how the French league finished is the third place finish of Rennes – who could only manage a fourth place finish in the Europa League group Celtic topped.

While we are not in PSG’s class, we more than held our own against a French and Italian sides in the Europa League this season.  Like Celtic, Rennes will enter the Champions League qualification round next season.

    Not had any replies to my emails from anyone, not even the person

     

    at the institute who informed me of his illness, i’ve also asked a very

     

    prominent CQN’r who is a close friend of his, and he can’t get any

     

    info either, so don’t know what to do or think.

     

    All a bit of a mystery.

     

    Hope everyone is well at your end.

    Sadly earlier this evening my darling wife Helen (Minx 1888 from CQN) lost her battle with cancer. I was lying beside her the way she wanted. Our hearts are broken and simple words right now would never truly convey what a remarkable woman she was. I was blessed to have her as a soul mate and forever thankful to her for becoming my wife.

     

     

    As a family we are utterly devastated but for many people the passing of this genuinely decent, warm and caring human being the world will be a little darker tonight.

     

     

    Good night God Bless Helen xxxx

    When I only know people from their CQN persona it is too easy to decide whether I like their contributions or not.

     

     

    There was a romance followed over the years.

     

     

    Beautiful people.

     

     

    Joe said it. Heartbreaking.

  6. Chris, we are not far behind.

     

     

    God Bless ye.

     

     

    We are going very Soon.

     

     

    Please Forgive Anyone that Hurt you.

     

     

    Minx will there.

     

     

    God has Many Rooms in his house.

     

     

    Ye and Minx are gonnae Njoi eternity Together.

    Love to Hamilton Tim. I cannot even comprehend what you are, and indeed have gone through recently, but know this, your lovely wife will leave an unforgettable memory in this place and your thoughts of others at this time is truly humbling.

     

     

    God, please give you strength in the times ahead

  9. Helen leaving not sure I can handle this Father.

     

     

    God Bless Every wan of you.

     

     

    Chris, I had no Idea.

     

     

    Someone will get you my number if you need it.

  10. Helen we where on here in the early times Ithink you were the only female at that time and tonight the amount of memories have been flooding back. Volley ball players,doctors from the borders, Chennaiseibird(spelling crap), Estadio, heraldo ,WG, dickbyrne, Noel etc but no one has been more of an icon of what we as as a family or club ever was than you..

     

     

    The night in the lounge at Celtic Park where you took the mic at a seconds opportunity to run a raffle/ Auction for either the bring martin home / KANO or Oscar fund should not have surprised me as most of the time trying to get you to stop talking was one of the hardest things.

     

     

    Lots of love to you Chris and the families.. God has gained someone who will tell him what to do and a n absolute star

    Helen was such a lovely person.

     

    I will remember her as being kind, compassionate, full of fun and willing to help anyone, particularly the most vulnerable in society.

     

    She leaves a strong imprint in society, she will sadly be missed.

     

    Love to all her lovely family.
