Former SPL chief exec Roger Mitchell is fond of saying his old job had all the responsibility and none of the power, as ultimate control of the League lies with the clubs. Neil Doncaster has lived through a period of his life he will never forget, but after issuing a comprehensive rebuttal to the ‘dossier’ yesterday, he may reflect that his powerbase has been significantly enhanced by the traumas.
The tone of the SPFL’s response, signed by nine of the 10 directors, is unlike anything I have read before from a comparable body; “baseless, damaging and self-serving attacks”, they did not miss the target and hit the wall.
With no charge outstanding, votes against the League will amount to little more than historical allegiances with the protagonists. They will do well to get 25% support, instead of the 75% required for success.
I commented on Thursday that the phrase “serious breach of fiduciary duties” was likely to feature in news reports soon. Instead, the League opted for “gross breaches of confidentiality” for distributing confidential parts of their Sky TV contract in the dossier appendix.
The board have no choice but to act in order to protect their broadcast contracts from breach. The irony of trying to claim the League is jeopardising a contract by actively jeopardising that same contract is off the scale and indicates the levels at which we are operating at.

I see the desperate Huns are now claiming Neil Doncaster got his job via Peter Lawwells son, I mean how desperate are they to bring Celtic into this? It’s the unseen fenian hand at work!
There must be something wrong with me to so enjoy their pain?
English sadly isn’t an idiot. He obviously is being pressurised to spout the nonsense he’s currently talking. The self styled Odd Couple were making jibes at him yesterday.

Nothing wrong with you.

Cheers good sir. May start to dip in occasionally. This has been a great start to a Sunday over here.
Third login this am dearie me !
Anyway, regarding the huns paying for “an dependent inquiry “ remember the O J Simpson trial, and how his defence team succeeded to get their witnesses to contradict the state’s witnesses at every opportunity. The point is , if you pay enough money you can get almost anybody to say almost anything!

BBC Radio Scotland?
If you are listening, they are accomplishing their mission.
Sevco (and all that surrounds them) are just an updated version of Barnum’s circus.
King / Park are old Phineas …
“Roll up, roll up. Circus is in town. I know you saw it last time we were here and it was crap …. but we have new elephants (Gerrard) new acrobats (Hagi) and new clowns (take your pick)”
The SMSM are the placemen. Townfolk on point who’ve been slipped a bung by Barnum to casually mention that they have heard how fabulous the new show is.
They pretend to be neutral but have sold out for a few bucks or free access to Ibrox …. er … the big top.
Sevco fans are the mugs among the townspeople who swallow it and buy tickets year in year out.
The “peepul” really are different from the rest of us.
You CAN fool ALL of the “peepul” ALL of the time.
Oh, and when the circus is finished and packed up … they leave a huge mess for everyone else to clean up.
🙋♂️ Hi Fellow Celtic Fans!
Just catching up and noted with interest the comments regarding the efficacy of Apple Cider Vinegar…
I have been following ‘Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto diet’, not just as a ‘diet’ but as a lifestyle change; I have lost 16Kg and feel fantastic!!! 😊
1) https://youtu.be/Qifg5hxnlJE
2) https://youtu.be/vMZfyEy_jpI
The diet consists of no sugar, very low carbs (and you get these from veg/salad), medium protein and healthy fats (yes, fats!), some intermittent fasting, and drinking water with Apple Cider Vinegar and lemon juice. The Apple Cider Vinegar helps the acidity of the blood which in turn has all sorts of benefits…
Before, when I was eating/craving carbs and sugar, I was eating 3 meals a day and snacking at least 4 times; so my insulin was spiking at least 7 times a day… Now I eat just 1 afternoon meal each day and I am NOT hungry! 😊
I am not up for a debate on this, merely giving information based on my personal experience, but if this info helps just 1 person to lose weight and lead a healthier lifestyle, then my job is done! 😊
Dr. Berg also has some really interesting informed opinions on the virus and keeping a strong immune system for those who may be interested:

BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL
Listening to WGS and MON is a solid use of 60 mins on a Sunday no matter the platform.
Much more to worry about than a fkn Stay at Home slogan
Home Bargains has now rebranded as Alert Bargains
Bada
Having much more to worry about doesn`t mean that other matters need to be ignored.
For me, ` Stay Alert` is much less precise than ` Stay at Home`.
After the vote on Tuesday Sevco must be charged with disrepute of the equivalent in the SPFL rules, if they continue to want to take this further bar them from the SPFL as they wont abide by the rules, the same goes for any other club with the same feelings, if you dont want to be in a club dont join it, it is very simple. Cheerio.
The media here will do what is has always done , back the club playing at Ibrox, don’t be shocked the BBC is full of EBT benficiaries, as are the papers even the SFA had some, who knows how many are still in their ranks and within football decision making in there.

Some great goals by Jan.

Agree not sure the purpose of the change.
However only a few weeks ago Nicola was being praised for pushing ‘ we must look forward to easing lockdown’ – that was before the care home deaths became a huge issue.
The problem is that all around we have politicians doing what they do best – soundbites and diversions.
If you looked at most of their cv’s it would point to career politicians with union officials, political advisors and lawyers thrown in.
In this crisis, there are only 2 people I listen to: Nicola Sturgeon and Jason Leitch(?). All the other hacks, I switch off. I maybe wrong but they strike me as the only 2 who are trying to face the real situation and not feed us whatever sounds good.

Late last year Boris Johnson was the Prime Minister of a minority Tory government. He had around 290 MPs plus, in certain circumstances, the DUP. He could not progress Brexit, and he could not achieve the General Election he craved. The SNP, followed closely by the Liberal Democrats, facilitated that election, enabling to turn it into a Brexit election with the Tories as the main bell wringer. Labour, compromised by those undermining their own leader, a leader who had achieved 14 million votes two years earlier. Now my main point is not about Brexit, but about the fact that that the opposition had within and between them the opportunity to repeal the 2011-12 Health and Social Care Act towards the end of 2019, and push any election into 2020, but as a result of Labour upheaval, and SNP and Lib Dem opportunism, the election was called and lost. Labour crushed, Lib Dems obliterated and for the SNP a pyrrhic victory,
SPFL should get ahead and declare the League tomorrow, before the EGM. They already have the mandate, imperfect as it is. That would really take the wind out of certain sails, so to speak. It is irrelevant to the EGM, which is to consider (..😉) something else. Plus it has the added benefit of ensuring no administration this season, so if that happens, then any points deduction would be for next season.

That a Care Home in Skye should suffer multiple deaths, and further infections among both residents and staff tells me that the SNP policy in relation to Residential Homes has been one of negligence. I mention Skye in that, under a lockdown, it is relatively difficult to access, and therefore relatively easier to police, if you like. To require intensive care from Covid 19 you would need to be taken to a hospital in the first place, whereas with care homes, the residents are already there, and therefore need specific measures to prevent contact with this or any other virus. Patently that has not happened in Scotland, or England for that matter.
So was it the Dunfermline CEO, (not Doncaster) who allegedly bullied Gardner at Inverness, as he knew Gardner was also working in background to influence but not bully other championship clubs, is that how it works, when your beloved Sevco do not get their own way ??
A statement from ICT now.
Anyone left to play their cards from the Hun cabal?
It appears Sevco and their poodles are going all in here. Admin time?

Liked your story about Charlie Miller. A Dundee United scout told me that at an international youth tournament coaches from across Europe raved about him. He had a decent career but it ought to have been better.
