Uefa yesterday signalled a route for top-flight leagues to be ‘called’, ensuring an access route to the Champions and Europa Leagues for qualifying teams. Their official line – everyone’s official line, including Celtic’s – remains that leagues should be completed where possible, but that outcome remains highly unlikely.
When parties conflict during negotiations or a dispute, one will often have a deadline working against them. Having taken the null and void outcome off the table, the SPFL have given themselves time, unlike their principle protagonists, who have deadlines looming.
If I was Neil Doncaster, I would wait until the final possible moment before the Premiership is called. If the SPFL board called the league on Friday, it would be too late to provide prize money to cover April wages, but it is likely several of the league’s cash-impaired clubs will need this money to be released by the middle of next month.
I would be happy to wait until early June, when every theoretical possibility is exhausted. Do the right thing and be seen to do the right thing. Make Celtic wait, give football every possible chance, there is no hurry. If the SPFL waits, their preparedness in providing for the lower leagues and patience over the Premiership will be unimpeachable.
Maybe Budge and Park could apply to the League for a loan? Just an ideal, to help them through the period without prize money.

Friday night was music night from Pablo. RIP.
‘GG – it was great fun with Pablo and the music, RIP Pablophanque
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blow
All the subtle flavours of my life have become
Bitter seeds and poisoned leaves
Without you
You represent what’s true
I drain the colour from the sky and turn blue
Without you
These arms lack a purpose
Flappin’ like a humming bird
I’m nervous ’cause I’m the left eye, you’re the right
Would it not be madness to fight?
We come one
HH
Is the much maligned SPFL ahead of the game here?

Brilliant.
“You think I only think about you
When we’re both in the same room”.
The sea wants to kiss the golden shore
The sunlight warms your skin
All the beauty that’s been lost before
Wants to find us again
I can’t fight you anymore
It’s you I’m fighting for
The sea throws rock together
But time leaves us polished stones
HH
Last one I promise..:)
“What have I now?” said the fine old woman
“What have I now?” this proud old woman did say
“I have four green fields, one of them’s in bondage
In stranger’s hands, that tried to take it from me
But my sons have sons, as brave as were their fathers
My fourth green field will bloom once again” said she

Bare Naked Ladies…what’s not to like Fred?

TOBAGO STREET,
Got it in one :-)
My favourite line from any song.
I’m easy pleased mind.
Hail Hail.
Closely followed by…
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.
Hail Hail.
It is indeed a ‘mad world’ Fred

Aberdeen’s statement began, “”We urge the board to wait until the consultation with our club can be informed by the outcome of our work.”
Just ask a few lawyers to explain that one. Better with the Marx Brothers,
“The first part of the party of the first part shall be known in this contract as the first part of the party of the first part, shall be known in this contract…LOOK…why should we quarrel about a thing like this. We’ll take it right out eh?
DBHOY,
:-)))
Last couple of lines may not be from my favourite songs.
But they are my favourite lines from songs.
Know what a mean???
Hail Hail.
Anyway, better get going, this decking’s not going to oil itself.
I’ll leave with an upbeat wee tune I’ve been listening to lately.
Wishing you all good health.
Klangkarussell – Sonnentanz ft. Will Heard…

Yes, some lyrics just stick regardless of the melody.
Catch you later.

DBHOY ,
Stay safe.
Hail Hail.
Hard to better :-
“When you see what can’t be helped go by
With bloody murder in its eye
And the mouth of a man put on the rack
The voice of a man about to crack
When you see the litter of their lives
The stupid children, bitter wives
Your self-esteem in disarray
You do your best to climb away
From the streaming traffic of decay
Believing if you will that all these sick hate days
Are just a kind of trick Fate plays
But still behind your shaded eyes
That mind-constricting thick weight stays”
or
“New Amsterdam it’s become much too much
Till I have the possession of everything she touches
Till I step on the brakes to get out of her clutches
Till I speak double dutch to a real double duchess”
or
“Then the bold Mameluke drew his trusty chiboque And shouted “Il Allah Akbar”
And being intent upon slaughter, he went
For Ivan Potschjinski Skidar.
But just as his knife had abstracted his life (In fact he was shouting “‘Huzza ! “)
He felt himself struck by that subtle Calmuck Count Ivan Potschjinski Skidar.”
and finally
“If you’re bent wi’ arth-i-ritis,
Your bowels have got colitis,
You’ve gallopin’ with bollockitis
And you’re thinkin’ it’s time you died,
If you been a man of action,
Though you’re lying there in traction,
You will get some satisfaction
Thinkin’, “Jesus, at least I tried.”
four green fields,

I wonder what the statistic is for season ticket holders who lost their season tickets because they missed their final installment.
Mornin all – loved the lyrics
GG from last night, I remember Pablo, and his Friday nights, with great fondness. I still have one if the original CQN badges which I picked up from Pabbers in the Babbity during better times for us all.
In lyrical form:
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair, what a scene
Over men and horses, hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world
Sorry but I cant do the Youtube Link, but here is a fantastic song by a girl called ” ROO SAVILL”, what a great voice she has. For some reason the song is associated also by some Brothers called ” Skinner”…maybe they wrote it ?
since last year this song with the brilliant Roo Savill features in the TV Advert for “Freemans Catalogue”….the tune only also features in a another TV Advert for ” Plant food” ?
ROO SAVILL…” I Cant Stand The Rain”…Im not sure what year it was released, but I love this song.

That day at Wembley was a cracker .🎸🎹🎸
Three of my favourites from the 60’s :-
This Wheel’s On Fire – Brian Auger and Trinity with Julie Driscoll.
A Whiter Shade of Pale – Procul Harum.
Silver Machine – Hawkwind.
But when the sky darkens
And the prospect is war,
Who’s given a gun
And then pushed to the fore?
And expected to die
For the land of our birth
When we’ve never owned
One handful of earth?
