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.

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed
It’s the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It’s the one who won’t be taking
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dyin’
That never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love
In the spring becomes the rose

The world is treating me bad, misery
I’m the kind of guy
Who never used to cry
The world is treatin’ me bad, misery
Protesting the lockdown 2 days ago in Dublin .
A fenian ,tricolour flag waving crowd outside the court.
Speaking out against the restrictions -vaccines- 5g etc.

Not got the hang of links . On YouTube -O’Doherty and Waters outside Dublin court. Good to see some likeminded people over there.

Ewan Murray is in danger of becoming as big a joke as Gregory Campbell.

How can you spread your view if you can’t even post a link – I’m sure with a bit of research you can master it – but don’t you be using 5g.
Misheard lyrics……….
Wild Colonial (Italian) Bhoy?
” at the early age of 16 years Jack left his native Rome…”
Bankiebhoy1
The Wild Colonial Boy was my dearly departed dad’s party piece. That wee reminder put a smile on my face -thanks for that.
I tend to avoid the music discussion here unless of course it’s about Ballads but one line of a Dylan song that really grabbed my attention away back in a previous life was from Positively 4th Street, it went
When you know as well as me you’d rather see me paralyzed
Why don’t you just come out once and scream it.
That line has stuck in my head for well over 50 years.
Tim…………..You’re welcome matey.
I love the song too, and sing it with the amended lyrics which I cannot get out of my head.
HH.
I see the rat has been speaking about our club again. Must be looking to steal one or more of our players……
Misheard lyrics…
Years ago. Guy in my class at Cambuslang college walking about singing a tune all day. The chorus he sang went ‘ how was a, how was a ‘.
Unfamiliar with the song, ‘Whit’s that song your singing?’ Says me
‘It’s a new one out in the charts’
I shrugged ‘never heard it mate’
Next day three of us are travelling in the car on the way in to college, OMC come on the radio, bold yin says ‘that’s that song there, it’s a belter!’
When we listened that catchy wee tune and realized it was ‘how bizarre’ and not ‘how was a’ that was sung throughout the song, we had a right good laugh and the big chap got pelters for it the rest of the week..:)
HH
Some trenchant criticism of Bob Dylan , his vocal prowess or lack of same , and his onstage behaviour should be tempered by his major contribution to the Civil Rights movement in the mid `60s. An inspiration he was .

Happy St George’s Day
DBHOY. That’s called a Mondegreen, eg I sometimes wish I’d never been boiled in oil. We built this city on sausage rolls etc.
Ray
That’s a new one for me, cheers.

An Dun
Gregory is a legend in the atom he has for a brain.he has form in parliamentary questioning on behalf of rfc.he has been consistently stupid since 2012 when he was vocal about not paying tax.he is well in at the fraudklub,sure his fellow creationist is doing a bit o PR.
HH
Still no South of Tunis?
Has anyone been able to contact him?
DBHOY. If you google Mondegreen you’ll find numerous examples viz ….. A year has passed since I broke my nose.
Gene
Thank you – how is it done then?
No 5g up here -so far.
It’s your task for today
No 5g no virus – you’re lucky
Foodbank duties – back later
Middle of a pandemic and a hun DUP MP thinks it’s time to talk about scottish footbal. What an embarrassment.
Frankterry
Although I think it is acceptable for MP`s to talk of other matters during this pandemic, it still says says something about the deep hatred burning inside his ilk that he chose such a relatively trivial matter.
Cheerio for now.
BOGNORBHOY..
Thanks mate for providing the Roo Savill music Link.
I used to be able to provide You Tube likes but for some reason I am unable to do it for the last wee while ?
What a Great Song and a great voice from Roo.
There is another version with a guys Group called “The Monroes”…its very good, but I prefer Roo’s version.
HH
Stay safe.
Ewan Murray has completely lost it on the inquiry stuff, what does he hope to prove, corruption? Is so by whom and to what benefit? A massive distraction from the fact most clubs voted for the resolution and from the fact that most clubs will go bust very shortly!!
And to quote that DUP bigot in a left leaning newspaper is really quite something
Are you ‘astounded of forehead”? “Fair affronted?”
Be like me….avoid all shocks to the system…….

Song lyrics? How’s about:
When my life is over
And my time has come to pass
Bury me upside down
So the World can kiss my ass

You can’t be serious
O’Doherty and Waters are complete nut jobs..Those people protesting inside and outside The Courts in Dublin were a disgrace..I have seen them up close in a court room.Their antics should not be tolerated. They aren’t some sort of freedom fighting activists, they are in the main, people with serious mental health issues and that’s me being kind and diplomatic…
Someone mentioned lyrics from this song…
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NEpfvTdR5-U
Big Jimmy .
When you go to YouTube and search for the song you want ,when it comes up it used to be tap the share icon ?
All you have to do is go to url bar (not a pub name 😜) at the top it will say YouTube and a lot of letters numbers,just press to highlight, then copy ,and you can then paste it to cqn , hope that makes sense . Good luck
Music and bands etc.
I am a massive fan of The Blues and over the years have seen hundreds and hundreds of great bands. It will come as a surprise but probably the best live gig I was at was DrFeelgood at Preservation Hall, Enbra. Talk about putting everything in, amazing

Re SOT.
I’ll see if BMCUWP has any contact details.
He was in contact with everyone on here when he posted.
God bless him!
My two cents on Lewis Ferguson…
1. If a player is good enough, he has to be under consideration. If he were the nephew of Paul McStay there would be a clamor amongst our support to get him signed up.
2. If the financial crisis surrounding Coronavirus means Scottish clubs are cash strapped this may be our best opportunity to negotiate with other teams.
3. The list of players below maybe don’t strike you as massive upgrades on our existing squad but they should be people we are looking at. Ultimately, there will be a squad churn at some point. Brown will retire and others will look to take a shot at the top 5 European leagues. If Tierney was willing to leave we have to accept that every individual will take that chance.
Lewis Smith (Hamilton), Liam Donnelly (Motherwell), David Turnbull (Motherwell), Lewis Ferguson (Aberdeen), Aaron Hickey (Hearts), Ryan Porteus (Hibs), Allan Campbell (Mothewell)
4. Investment in Scottish talent is worthwhile. Players who have a support network of friends and family will feel more comfortable staying for longer. We never managed to tie down Dembele, Wanyama, Hooper, Van Dijk or Forster to a second contract after they made the breakthrough. However, Brown, Griffiths, McGregor, Armstrong & Tierney were all convinced to sign extended deals. Tierney & Armstrong left anyway but we did command bigger fees.

The problem is, the talk of corruption at this stage is all innuendo.
We have heard from Hearts, Sevco etc. that clubs were BULLIED.
Unnamed clubs who are yet to speak. Hearsay.
new article posted.

Like the way you think.
Whisper it.
Time of opportunity.
P.L. is unlikely to ignore it .
