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.

Brilliant quiz Marc.
The big wheel keeps on turning.
We are All under a Massive Attack.
Have no Fear.
Let’s all do the Huddle
“so fertility clinics are being allowed to re- open
why?
how far down the list of things re-opening should they be?”
They should be open before IKEA in my view :-)
Congratulations Jobo.
Again mega thanks Marc.
I sort of gathered the writing was on the wall. On an earlier quiz posted on CQN , I got 13 out of 20. Everybody else got near enough perfection.
Back to the books.
Cheers and HH to all. Stay safe.

I think I would score 11 out of 20, as I am rubbish without the answers

On the 30th April blog I posed the question
Which Shakespearean play best describes current furore around the SPFL?
I was actually only thinking of one answer which I saw was quickly given when I looked in in the wee hours of this morning. However it didn’t stop there and I found myself counting the smiles instead of sheep as I dozed off.
Ive tried to identify all related replies and copy into this comment for those who missed them or want to declare a winner, no prizes just the enjoyment of the wit of CQN, well half of them ;) Enjoy.

I did not catch Shakespeare’s rhythm right last time.
It might be better as

Nine in a row and Up the Rebels!”

To void, or not to void: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of Timmy jibes,
Or to take arms against a sea of fenians,
And by opposing end them? To lie: to cheat;
Yes more; and by a cheat to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That nine in a row is, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d.
