The new SPFL board yesterday agreed that some sort of review should take place into the debacle which saw Rangers collapse into liquidation. While this is welcome as far as it goes, its scope will necessarily be bound by what the SPFL previously agreed to bind itself to. This was clear from the off, which I alluded to at the time.
If you contractually agree to limit your future actions for all purposes, you tie your own hands. This is where the SPFL are now and it is the reason we must look beyond them. The actions of those who tied their own hands are just as important as matters pertaining to the integrity of Scottish football’s competitions (the Scottish Cup and SFL League Cup, as well as the SPL).
The SPFL are not the only ones who are looking into this matter. They know to expect challenges during the course of the next two months.

“Real Madrid believe they are close to smashing the transfer world record for the 18-year-old France striker Kylian Mbappé, after reportedly reaching the basis of an agreement with Monaco that would result in him heading to the Santiago Bernabéu for a total fee of €180m (£161m).” (Guardian)
And Moussa only worth £20m?!!
On the last day of the transfer window Moussa will be worth £40m
adverts on here are a ridiculous, log in and cant see any comments because of the ad in the background. I get the site needs to make money but in the last 12 months it has become a complete joke.
A mysterious renewal energy development project in Durand, Michigan is beginning to draw notice due to its immense size. Documents filed by the city indicate that the 24M square-foot facility called Project Tim would be “the greenest facility of its kind anywhere in the world.”
Has Peter moved on from the hotel idea?

I don’t know UK prices, so please check.

Minimum 8. GB to run Win 10 comfortably
SSD if you can fit it into your budget
Use your external drive to supplement disc capacity.
Store lesser used files on it.
If SSD too expensive you should be able to get 1TB drive on budget.
Some configs don’t have CD any more not a big issue.
Usual connections for USB and HDMI

But
I did have pineapple for breakfast. :-)
I hope I am wrong, but I think Rosenberg will be a tough proposition tomorrow … they are pretty far along in their preparations … Norwegian teams are usually big, physical and well organized … and their big number 9 could cause problems with our injury list ….
I would be okay with a narrow win tomorrow … a 2-0 win, and no away goals for them, would make me very happy …
I think we will probably do better in Norway when they have to come out and play, and we have closer to a full team back, who can hit them on the counter …..
but, this is one of those occasions where I wont be too upset if I am wrong and we skelp them 4 -0.
and yes… BR might be right in what he says … health and safety is important …but, you cant pick and choose the issues on which you comment, or you leave yourself open to some (justifiable) criticism…. are signs more important that racist chanting? Or are the signs only important because they cost the club money, and racist zombie fans singing songs of hate are okay because they bring money in, in the form of ticket sales?
the fact that he would appear to be taking the company line on this makes me worry about the Board’s response (or lack thereof) on what I see as the larger issue of whether the game in Scotland is a bogey …

Dembele’s worth 20m? Says who ;-)
Moussa doesnt want to go anywhere til next season.
HH
So is it time to get rid of Brendan because he’s not commenting on the issues you want him to comment on?
Or what line do you want him to toe?
Gies peace.
Cheers for the tips gents,
Only thing with ad block is that it affects other programs I run. Been on CQN for 10+ years but in the last year these ads have been killing it.

Beautiful part of the country, although for anyone visiting, the Hilton leaves a lot to be desired.
Local folk band allegedly asked not to play, “anything remotely Irish”.

MIKE IN TORONTO
Who was the last Celtic manager to comment on opposing fans??
It was a UEFA game Mike hence the reactions, had that been a league game I doubt it would have rated a mention..
BATE 1 down v 10 men

he is looking after cfc inerest not worried about uns songbook.
with the amount of catholics at sevco faith of our fathers will be belted out soon.
Just heard Brendan’s interview there, he couldent make it any more simple, behave yourself or gtf .
Want go down to well with the malcontents in here, but it is what it is, shape up or ship out,.
Log On…
Read the article
“The new SPFL board yesterday…”
I suppose it could have started ‘Once Upon a Time.’ Nothing to do with PL or Dermot then?
Where did we see that story predicted?
Evening all.
When reviewing web site content this afternoon, it struck me how the successful marketing of the LNS commission has helped sell its legitimacy.
The guy is only called ‘Lord’ by virtue of his former day job.
This grubby gig was a piece of consultancy carried out by a private citizen.
So ‘Lord William Nimmo Smith’ is in fact ……
‘William Nimmo Smith’ who in turn is actually ….
‘William Smith’ who could reasonably called …
‘Billy Smith’.
May I humbly suggest that in future we refer to the LNS commission as the BSW?
BILLY SMITH’S WHITEWASH !!!!
Hail hail

Try keep in mind we’ll still be here long after Brendan Rodgers has shipped out.
I dont say that to irk you or others, I agreed with the sentiments expressed by BR in the interview.
Forced into corner, politics and football, what else to say?
So the Ultras got it wrong with pyros and politics? Every club worth it’s salt in Europe has an “ultra” soul.
Anyway as you say, they had better tow the line……..well, in a manner of speaking. Lipstick anyone? ;-)
Yesterday’s news already.

rosenborg are +20 GD – someone must be scoring for them

Thanks for the tips.
AOW – If I only have ‘open office’ will I still be able to open the ‘real’ excel / word files that folk may send to me. Thinking Goals For Shay issues here!!

Normally if you right click on the file it will give the option to ‘open with open office’
Gene –
So it may be sensible for me to download Open Office on my current laptop and try it out. Aff oot to think about it….
Jobo – yes

Exactly – nothing to lose

Think your barking up the wrong tree blaming Bill Smith entirely.
Other than taken the Queen’s shilling he acted within the sham perimeters set by the SFA/SPL.
Dont shoot the lily livired quisling of a messenger. The now discredited Bill Smith’s family’s name has to live with his ignominy. The question you should be asking is, who did he answer too? If his family name means anything to him, he might want redress his publicly aired judgement sometime soon.

No comment from the Green Brigade since their awful statement the other day?
Think penny starting to drop. Celtic preparing to move on without them.
Still hope peace can break out…
Shrinkflation is a rise in the general price level of goods per unit weight or size, with a corresponding reduction in the weight or size of the item sold. Hence the price of the packaged product remains the same.
does this mean newcos defenders are getting smaller ?
Jobo- good advice given. Give it a try as it’s a quick install and treats all MS Office as ‘native’. Has it’s version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc…
Been using it for years and is a great alternative for CQN’rs who have kids in study.
Jobo
If you buy a new PC, it will come with Windows 10, unless you really go out of your way for a Win7 version.
Along with 10 you get a OneDrive subscription, previously known as SkyDrive.
There is a web based version of Office included.
Not fully functional with all the bells and whistles of Office, but more than enough for the limited features you will probably use.
Ps . Do you know Stephen C from Polo-mint City? Just curious…
apologies lurking pretend journos – meant ‘newco’s’
