It’s difficult not to associate Hearts’ owner, Vladimir Romanov’s outburst on their club website yesterday with the current issue over Rangers finances, which could soon see the SPL, the SFA and the media take sides between Rangers and their creditors, in particular HM Revenue and Customs.
Romanov’s rant on the demise of the Scottish game was ignorable until he dragged in the “tax authorities” for blame. As you and I know, the tax authorities don’t play favourites, they collect vat, income, corporation and other taxes in line with the law.
Hearts failed to pay player wages last month and Romanov now says, “there is no point is spending millions to watch someone else’s show”. Most of Hearts debt is owed to Romanov’s own bank but if player wages are unpaid there is a good chance HMRC will also be outstanding, explaining the “tax authorities” reference.
If a new football club playing at Ibrox is ushered into the SPL with a points tally calculated from the position of a defunct Rangers you can expect a gold-rush of clubs ready to flush their debts to the country, and history, away.
Well done to STV who yesterday revealed the actual decision making process which would be put in place to judge an application to join the league midseason or at any other time. The SPL board, by simple majority, have the decision, while the SFA need to ratify membership.
If the SPL board vote to reward bad debtors’ shares in their league what incentive would most clubs have to pay their bills? Fortunately, our history is more valuable than any amount of cash.
The new issue of CQN Magazine will be out next week, let me know if you would like to advertise, celticquicknews@gmail.com.

He’s a strange one.
Kev writes regularly to the Daily Record, from a N. Lanarkshire hamlet, to slag our club and, on the few occasions I have read his submissions, they have been fairly standard player slagging efforts, not the “rabble-rousing, true heart of Celtic” persona he tries to portray on here
I can’t make up my mind if he’s a
a) genuine howling-at-the-moon case
b) misguided, tabloid led thinker, or
c) wind-up merchant, Big C advocate (McNee in disguise)
Mind you, I thought timbhoy 2 was a satirical poster like j titor

Serenity, this one’s for you mate!
Oh Campbell, Campbell Ogilve,
How proud today you ought to be,
How grand it must have felt that day,
You took over the running of the SFA.
I’m sure there were once some grand schemes,
To assist your two sectarian teams,
As they sought advantage over the Tims,
“That’ll teach them for singing hymns …”
But alas, oh dear, now fill your cup,
And drink a toast as the balloon goes up,
The game you run is broke and bent,
And the taxman’s coming for the rent.
What happens next here ain’t no mystery,
The big and wee huns are almost history,
For wrecking two clubs, a job well done,
Even George Peat only wrote off one!

John Amos, brilliant actor. Also in 1982 fantasy epic masterpiece ‘The Beastmaster’ – the bad guys are called ‘Juns’!
SFTB @ 00:26
He’s a mixture of all 3. But if you get talking to him outwith the fallouts of the explosions he creates, he is a real Tim, and actually good to banter with – just an infuriating one, but lovable at the same time for his fud-ness :) He’s very much like his hero Gerry. :)
Timbhoy2 – now that’s another kettle of fish. My first thoughts were, total hunposter, but i really don’t know. I see the most unlikely Tim of all Mickbhoy getting re-affirmed by Kingoh and i think WTF.
We’re all on Defcon1 with the huns so we can’t be blamed for our suspicions. Part of me is aware though that sadly, it means they’re winning in their own way, as they bring disruption. But we’re all wisening up on how to spot them. It’s an important learning curve for us all in my humble opinion. The real huns still need weeded out – they are Japanese Knotweed. If what they did was so unimportant, Meeja Hoose wouldn’t being paying peepil to disrupt sites like this, Phil’s and RTC’s.
FFM
If the two establishment teams from Glasgow & Embra go under, we may have much worse than internet trolling to worry about. Ra peepil never lose quietly.
Anyway time to head for bed.
Hope the huns go bust in time to put their effigies on bonfires this weekend.
G’night
brucecassavetes @ 00:36
Had to look up John Amos, don’t see the connection? Thought maybe he was the voice behind Krusty? Loved the Beastmaster, classic :) What was the connection you saw?? I’m no that clever – thick as 4 big tanks actually :)

Sorry to be a pain,folks.
Reading back over only the last few pages,cos I am trying to avoid that t**t KEVIN..etc who frankly has been,och,I’ll no’ go there.
What’s the story wi Hearts?
Go on,I could do wi a laugh,having escaped for the night to spend some time wi some supremacist and smug uber-huns,including my cousin,in Kilwinning.
Having said that that,it was a blinding night,blind being the operative word.
And the fingers-in-the-ears,never-happen routine is rapidly replacing the handshake around these parts!

Superb. In actual fact I hope the diets go first making the possible soft options for the orcs more difficult to implement.
setting free the bears @ 00:54
Absolutely. Those of us that have experienced their developping skills in street trolling know what the fallout will be like.
It would be a lot less worrying if we knew we had a govt and polis that would protect innocent people – but clearly, there is no chance of that. The victims will be the ones arrested. Crackin wee country this.

Hearts facing a winding up order in court tomorrow, led by Advocate General, which apparently means HMRC (acc to James Forrest).
Meanwhile, the situation at Main Hun HQ was that they borrowed at extreme rates last weekend to get over the cashflow issue, suggesting that Whyte was desperate to prolong the inevitable. My own take on that being now that he is waiting to see it happen to the minis first. But Mad Vlad is no daft. Who knows what the hells is going. It would make an excellent drama series. Actually, it does. :)
FFM
Thank you,kind sir.
I go to bed a happy man indeed,possibly the only one in Kilwinning.
My Dad is a-kip next door oblivious to the good tidings!
PS,to all the other Tims in Kilwinning-come on,fellas! We ALL feel as though we’re the only light in the darkness…..
Leftover parts of Midlothian?

:) You’re not totally alone out there in Hunshire. Know the big fella that used to run the Irvine CSC. Left the club there as too many huns were complaining about rebel songs there and money talks, so the club had to pander to them.
Ayrshire Tims tend to be amongst the best in my experience :)
Parts of Midlothian

Fortunes Favour Mibbes –
Not sure if your post was in reaction to mine, but I did not say, nor do I believe, that Kevin is a Hun.
Hail Hail
Did you know that Vladimir Romanov has written a couple of kid’s books.
Yes. It’s true.
But not on purpose.
Who would win in a fight between Kevin and this guy?

In a number of ways, I don’t enjoy saying this, but when the Huns go down, I will feel some relief that I am not domiciled in Scotland, whilst worrying about the welfare of my family, friends and the rest of Scottish Timdom.

Tom ..you are not domiciled in Scotland. You are in Oz.
So are you saying you are not worrying about the rest of us Scottish Tims if the huns go down? There would be no need would there? Anyway…So…do you really think the huns are going down?

You need to be far more specific than that. Can send you an unopened pack of Kleenze for £10 plus vat & carriage?
Ulysses. The pyjama bottoms in question have been on an odyssey with me. Surely you of all people would pay at least 500 quid for them ffs, no ???
GCT @ 01:56
No, not at all. Someone more immediate before my post was (understandably :)) questioning Kev’s credentials – i just found i had to stick up for the blighter. Have a lot of affection for him but his meeja-led muppetry annoys the hell out of me.
Talkin of which, aye,
Kevin,
Gonnae dump yer meeja pom poms! :)
When the social unrest kicks-off, I wonder who will be the first pundit or print-journalist to say . . . HMRC could have avoided all this !!!
Fortunes Favour Mibbes –
Thanks.
No worries mate.

Aye, they might be thick as …but they know how to protect their own rear ends. Scum isn’t even the word. Odious beyond description. They should never be allowed to forget the role they played in everything that happened to Neil Lennon since he first joined Celtic. And the arrest of two simple minded orange eejits for sending bombs, manipulated and encouraged in their hatred by said scum, who are obviously so fick as to need someone tie their shoe laces. Great legacy from the lot of them. No need to list. They know exactly who they are. The first one to come out and apologise is the one i’ll wish a good nights sleep to. But i won’t waste my breathe waiting. They’re in too deep in their own mess. Uughh. They make me nauseous just thinking about them. Jabba is 1000 times more repulsive than his Star Wars namesake. It’s true, no?

This is for anyone who has the slightest sympathy for the odious Steven Naismith……and for anyone who ever gives Willie Collum the benefit of the doubt he is looking straight at this incident…..make no mistake he is a MIB

Or if Celtic are instrumental in voting them down . . . I hope Celtic are happy now !!!
Actually, i should calm down, apols for that rant:)
I always turn to this wee bit of music from a no too bad singer when this hun nonsense irks me so. Always works:

>:(( Aye, saw that earlier. Disgusting. That was an attempt at a leg break. To this day the method behind Moisty and the Myth is unconfirmed. How have they managed to motivate a team so successfully built on pure hate. You’d think they were feeding them steroids or summit.

Anyone else think Romanov might be up to something here. He knows the score with the big Huns.
The timing of his latest statement re Scottish Football and the advent of the wind up order is all very convenient…. don’t you think?
