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.

    A £25 voucher to buy stuff from their shop from a sponsor that no longer provides their kit.

    BT Sport are set to air four classic Celtic victories in the Champions League this weekend.

     

     

    The broadcaster has planned a Sunday night nostalgia feast for fans with highlights from a quartet of famous Parkhead nights.

     

     

    From 7pm on May 3, supporters can first tune in to relive the 4-3 win over Juventus in 2001, including Chris Sutton’s remarkable volley and a virtuoso performance from Lubo Moravcik.

     

     

    Next up at 7.30 is the 2-1 win over then-holders AC Milan to set up a push for the knockout stage, with Scott McDonald notching a memorable 90th minute winner to defeat the Italians.

    Kaka’s penalty cancelled out a Stephen McManus opener before the Aussie struck in the dying seconds to lift the roof off Celtic Park.

     

     

    That’s followed by perhaps the pick of the bunch at 8pm – 2012’s stunning triumph over Barcelona and the immortal strike from a young Tony Watt.

     

     

    On a night of high drama, Victor Wanyama’s header gave Neil Lennon’s side something to cling to as they withstood an onslaught from Lionel Messi and Co before Watt’s goal sealed a historic win.

    And finally at 8.30pm there’s a chance to relive the Shunsuke Nakamura free-kick that sunk Manchester United in 2006, not to mention the late penalty save from Artuc Boruc that secured Celtic a place in the knockout stage.

     

     

    You can catch every moment on BT Sport this Sunday.

    Has anyone got a link to the emergency summit meeting ?

     

     

    I can think of one ZOOMer who wished he wasn’t there .

  8. Bhoyjoebelfast on

    I’ve never met a ‘decent’ one.Worked with them,but never befriended them.To reach the status at ‘that’ club he must be a………….

  9. Find it really difficult to believe any Celtic fan would be looking for the club to reimburse them for the lost games.7 million,being quoted.At a time when our club will be in the same boat as everyone else,unsure even when football will resume,not a penny coming in,but wages still being paid,Celtic Park being maintained.With the outgoing expenditure,the bank money will not last long.All the while,the fans are hoping Eddy stays,Big Frazer stays,..If it goes on as predicted,we will have to sell.Is that what we want?.

     

    Personally,whenever we do come out of this ,I would hope we can still be utterly dominant in Scotland,and cash is the key.This virus is going to be a great leveller in the football world.I would want us in a position to take advantage of this.Maybe that’s just me.

  10. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    From what I hear, Stewart is a decent bloke

     

     

    Is that the word from his brother the ludge members on the Celtic board

  11. !!Bada Bing!! on

    I haven’t read of anyone wanting reimbursement, but it’s an issue that the Club needs to address.

  12. GREENPINATA on 1ST MAY 2020 1:41 PM

     

    I think it was Jamesgang who suggested Celtic shares rather than refunds or vouchers.

     

     

    Imo this is the way to go.

     

     

    It should be “easy” to bypass the requirement for a share trading account

    Hola!

     

    That was indeed me. Dropped the Club and SLO a message via twitter but heard nothing back.

    We are entering scary times for many families. This is about necessity. I wouldn’t judge any Celtic fan in need, using their right to claw back money owed to them. If you can go without, I’m sure good Celtic fans will do what they feel is right.

    Thought it was concluded on here last week that CFC are insured for this therefore not a hit on the club

  16. lets all do the huddle on

    Find it really difficult to believe any Celtic fan would be looking for the club to reimburse them for the lost games

     

    —-

     

     

    i think its perfectly right for fans to be refunded

     

     

    we lost around 20% of the games we had paid for, thats not insignificant

     

     

    and with the club apparantly on such a great financial footing then its only right

     

     

    the reason why celtic wont want to do it is because it will affect the share price and PLs bonus

     

     

    irrelevant to me

  17. Ron Bacardi on

    PRESTONPANS BHOY,

     

     

    Depends on wording of insurance policy and what’s in small print.

    Do you have a season book?

  19. TURKEYBHOY on 1ST MAY 2020 3:01 PM

     

     

    Not a penny coming in but bills to be paid. Nearly every household in the country will be suffering some sort of financial disparity at this time. £100-125 going into the family pot could be a pretty good bonus.

     

     

    Celtic foundation have done great service to the community at this time, Celtic PLC will surely have to follow suit in regards to refunds, por cierto

    Hi Ghuys, salve salve ;-

  21. The state aid nutter was in meltdown mode on Twitter. Made to look very foolish.

     

     

    He was having a go back at Celtic about the Hotel and the improvements at Barrowfield. Calling them moombeams.

     

     

    He might have a point in the Hotel. Celtic decided to go public, their partner pulled out and they decided to upgrade barrow field instead. Stuff like this can happen but it was a little embarrassing.

     

     

    However, Celtic were expecting a planning decision on Barrowfield by the 16th of April. That date has obviously been missed due to Coronavirus and no decision date is set in the future.

     

     

    We will see what happens. The Barrowfield project might be the main casualty of the lockdown.

  22. ernie, I am waiting to the last day before renewing.

     

     

    Aidan is Full Price now £545.

     

     

    I can handle it, Praise the Lord, I know so many others cannae tho. So many more Deserving than me.

     

     

    Just do the right thing Celtic.

     

     

    £100 to keep the seat.

     

     

    And be Aggressive about TV revenues. Celtic is Box Office.

     

     

    Cannae wait to hear Tommy Boyd saying…. “and its Live.”

    Stirling Albion are offering a bigger reward cause they are minted and the Huns are broke😂😂😂

    Stewart Robertson is a decent bloke . Loves his mother and hates Celtic.

  25. Buddy Morrisey on

    Reimbursement for games lost?

     

     

    Celtic should ask fans do they want repayment or a voucher for the shops to the value of, or do they want to make an equivalent donation to Celtic Foundation.

     

     

    Know which one I’d go for.
